When Faye saw him, her pupils contracted. It felt like someone had a tight grip on her heart.‘Has he been sleeping out here the entire night? Is he stupid?’Zayn was woken up by the sound of the door opening, so he hurriedly got up. However, because he had been in that position for so long, his right leg had gone a little numb. He staggered trying to get up. He was close to falling, but thanks to his quick reflexes, he managed to prevent himself from injury by holding onto the wall.“Fifi, you’re awake?” Zayn started, “Fifi, you’ve got to believe me. Yesterday was really all just a misunderstanding. I’ll admit that I did go out for supper with a female friend, but she’s androgynous, and we aren’t close at all. I got to know her when I drove to 4S to get the car fixed that one time…”Zayn hurriedly explained how he and Alexandra came to know each other from the beginning to the end. He emphasized that fact that he had only met Alexandra yesterday completely by coincidence. He told
Zayn chased after her.Faye stopped and glared at him morosely. “Is there something wrong with you, Zayn? Did you not understand what I just said?!”She was still quite gentle with him a moment ago, yet her initial fierceness had now returned.Zayn had already gotten used to Faye’s behavior, hence he said gently, “Fifi, I won’t let you face all of this alone.”As she bit her lip, she was a little moved, but his words did not quench the flame that raged on inside her chest. “Zayn Larson, do you know what I hate about you the most? You don’t know your own capabilities! Do you not know where you stand?! I don’t resent you for being incapable, but can you please stop acting like you’re great and very powerful? You only end up making a fool of yourself. You’re embarrassing!”Zayn hurriedly pleaded, “Fifi, you’ve got to believe me, I can help you get through this, I really can. Just let me drive you to work.”Faye did not reply to Zayn. Instead, she glanced at him coldly before leaving
At that moment, someone walked over to Faye. They were looking at her in an unfriendly manner. The person then began to question Faye, “Why have you only just arrived? Everyone’s waiting for you in the boardroom.”The person before Faye was a distant relative of the Carters who had an average performance. In fact, it was Faye who had offered her to join Neotech, and in turn, she would treat Faye with respect. She used to call her ‘Miss’ all the time. However, she was currently being extremely cold towards Faye. She even had a look of scorn and disdain in her eyes. Evidently, she no longer had any respect for Faye.When Faye noticed her behavior, she was furious. Though, what slowly followed was a mixture of despair and self-deprecation.That was the first time she experienced what it was like to be stepped on when she was already at her lowest! She had not even been stripped off of her authority yet, but she was already being treated like scum. ‘If my authority actually gets strippe
Faye glared at him and fired back, “Why wouldn’t I have the nerve to come back? First of all, I haven’t embezzled a single cent from the company. Second of all, I haven’t leaked any classified information during my entire time here. Third of all, I’ve only had the company in my best interest after all these years. I’ve always worked so diligently, so why wouldn’t I have the nerve to come back?”When Ramus heard her statement, rage began to pulse through his veins. He pointed at Faye’s nose and scowled, “So diligently, you say?! Faye, how do you have the gall to say such a thing?! When have you ever fulfilled your responsibilities? Was selfishly choosing to abandon us in our time of need considered diligent work to you?!”Ramus’s statement roused the crowd’s fury as they eyed at Faye indignantly.Faye gritted her teeth. She thought that she would be able to remain calm, but when she was faced with such accusations and contempt from her own relatives, she felt terrible. She could not
Faye yelled as loudly as she could, struggling to make her voice heard, but it was all futile.The relatives who had previously treated her so well had all become monsters, ready to bite off and rend her flesh, desperately wishing that they could kill her.Faye was feeling extremely anxious and helpless. She had never been in such a situation before. ‘Why are my relatives treating me like this? They won’t listen to reason at all. It was clearly a mess that Howard stirred up—how has it become my fault?‘If Howard hadn’t selfishly gambled away the company’s funds, would we have ended up in this situation in the first place? Of course not! I mustn’t cry. I mustn’t admit defeat. I must stay strong…’Despite all her efforts, Faye just could not do it anymore. At that moment, there was no one she could turn to for help—no one she could reach out for. She was all on her own in this cruel world.Amidst the chaos, someone had even taken it upon themselves to slap her.Smack! Faye’s hair w
Faye trembled as she raised her head. She was unyielding. Looking her grandfather in the eye, she reasoned, “Grandpa, I refuse to get down on my knees. I haven’t done anything wrong!”With a cold expression on his face, George slammed his fist against the table. Furious, he shouted, “What nonsense is this?! Faye, how dare you continue to deny your faults?! Do you really think you can get away without being punished?! I’m going to say this one more time—on your knees!”George’s voice was loud and clear. He studied martial arts during his younger years, so even if his body was deteriorating from age, he had a lot more inner strength than most people. His voice was so forceful that it had traveled outside of the boardroom. It caused a fresh wave of gossip amongst the other employees.Faye was even more disheartened, but she refused to give in because she was confident that she had not done anything wrong. ‘I wasn’t abandoning the company in its time of need. I simply did what I thought
When everyone saw her tapping away at her cell phone, they made sure not to make any noise, as they were worried that the slightest of sounds would affect her conversation with Nathan.At that moment, they were all at their wit’s ends.Frankly speaking, none of them were very capable people. They relied solely on Neotech to fund their lavish lifestyles so they could live extravagantly. It was mainly due to the large bonuses the company gave them every year. That was how they had become the wealthier people within their circle.However, if Neotech were to shut down, they would lose their bonuses completely, which effectively cut off their main source of income. They would be paupers—something that was completely unacceptable!It was human nature. We would happily accept wealth, but when the possibility of parting with it or the opportunity to give it away arises, it’s impossibly difficult to come to terms with it.Therefore, when they heard that Howard had managed to convince someo
‘F*cking hell, Neotech’s net worth only adds up to about 6 million dollars.’When Faye heard that, her feelings became even more tumultuous. She bit on her lip so hard that she almost drew blood!‘That’s right, Zayn clearly had a Magpie’s Treasure Nest that’s worth 4.6 million dollars, but he just broke it. That money could’ve saved the Carters!’“Nate, that Magpie’s Treasure Nest was broken, so we ended up selling it for only 23 thousand dollars. He won’t be able to help me. You’re the only one who can. We’ve known each other for so long, can’t you help me?” Faye was suppressing her tears as she pleaded to Nathan.Nathan could also tell she had lowered her standards when she said that, and he was extremely elated because of that. ‘Well, well, what happened to the arrogant woman on the other end of the phone? You’ve always been so cold and haughty towards me. You couldn’t even be bothered to talk to me, so why have you suddenly humbled yourself like this?’“I’m not refusing to hel
He had already found his next path and he was hopeful for his future. He was convinced that he could reproduce the miracle perfectly if he had enough time!He turned around abruptly and saw Zayn’s icy cold face. He could not refrain himself from saying aloud, “Zayn! I’m your father-in-law! You can’t kill me!”There was a change of Zayn’s icy cold face at last when he heard that. He furrowed his brows for a moment. However, just as Osiris was pleased about his remark, Zayn had already thrown a punch. It was a simple, unadorned, straightforward, concise punch that landed heavily on Osiris’ chest. A poof that sounded like poking through a layer of paper was heard when he punched through Osiris’ chest. On the other hand, Osiris’ body halted to a stop as well. He widened his eyes in disbelief and lowered his head to look at his wound incredulously….“You… You…” He glared at Zayn, his gaze filled with recalcitrance, fear and regret. Zayn said nonchalantly, “You don’t deserve to be h
“You’re next.”Bang!Upon saying that, he exerted strength in his limbs and flew toward Osiris. Yes, he flew over. His body rose into the air and he was capable of standing steadily in the air without any support. He looked just like a superhero from the movies!Most importantly, he was extremely swift in speed and had already surpassed the speed limit achievable by mankind. Osiris felt an immense sense of danger that he had never felt before at this exact moment. It sent a shiver down his spine instantly and he was actually scared out of his wits that his body turned icy cold. He had a feeling that he was no match for Zayn and that he would die immediately if he stayed!Zayn who advanced beyond invincibilis state was way too powerful that he could not make sense anymore and he was no match for Zayn. He made the quickest and most precise decision that was to run. He would spare no effort in running away from Zayn!While there was life, there was hope. Zayn’s success prov
Hence, they did not have the courage to rescue Zayn even after noticing that he was in imminent danger. They could only watch helplessly and do nothing. “Look! That’s Sergeant Larson! Oh god, what transpired in the past few days? Why is Sergeant Larson being surrounded by so many powerhouses from the clubs? He can’t possibly escape from danger under such circumstances no matter how powerful he is!”“Oh no, oh no, Sergeant Larson is going to die here…”“What should we do? Could it be that we’re not going to do anything to save him?”“I don’t know. Let’s ask for instructions from our superior…”The numerous combat aircraft in the sky began to send out signals and asked for instruction from their superior. Soon, they received the reply and they were instructed not to act rashly or approach easily. It was because they would be doomed if they were to get closer and enter the attack zone of the invincibilis powerhouses. Hence, they could only watch from afar and await reinforcement
Upon saying that, Zayn placed Faye on the ground in an extremely gentle and cautious manner. Faye’s body had already become stiff, but her body had actually begun to turn soft after being caressed by Zayn’s palm. She lay flat on the ground with an expression that looked like she was asleep. After Zayn was done, he turned around and looked toward Osiris, his expression icy cold. He said nonchalantly, “It’s your fault that Fifi is dead. You deserve to die.”Next, his gaze swept across everyone and said something that terrified everyone, “All of you deserve to die!”Upon hearing that, Osiris’ expression turned somber and filled with murderous intent abruptly. He had already realized by now that his hard work and effort of a lifetime was wasted on Zayn!At the moment he found Faye in her aging state completely drained of life and power, he realized that his plan had failed!The result of his hard work for a lifetime was seized by the bastard before him!In an instant, his rage
“Zayn’s willpower is so strong that he is capable of withstanding the pain of his body’s restructuring indifferently. He’s an excellent talent.” The person speaking was the armored man and he was looking at Zayn through the cloud without attempting to conceal his admiration. He had encountered plenty of geniuses and countless geniuses more gifted in martial arts than Zayn. However, Zayn was the only ine whose willpower was so strong that he could endure the pain of body restructuring. Even he himself failed to withstand the pain of body restructuring and had rolled on the ground frantically. The woman nodded to herself as she looked at Zayn without attempting to conceal her admiration and approval. “This Earther is quite impressive. He has already taken the step successfully. My trip to Earth was not wasted this time…huh?”However, it was at this exact moment when Zayn on the ground raised his head and looked in their direction with his sharp gaze as if he could sense them.
Zayn wanted to reject her instinctively, but when he saw the final hopefulness in Faye’s eyes, he could not bring himself to reject her anymore. He knew that it was Faye’s final moment.The glint in Faye’s eyes was vanishing gradually. He opened his mouth and of all the words he wanted to say to her in her last moment, he said, “Yes!”Upon hearing the word, Faye’s aged face cracked a smile. Then, the joyous smile was frozen on her face for eternity…Zayn’s body stiffened as well. He had already forgotten how he landed on the ground, but he remained in the same position with Faye in his arms for a very long time. He hugged Faye until her residual body temperature dispersed and her body began to become stiff. Zayn was heartbroken. He felt a feeling of dejection and hollowness that he had never experienced before and it washed over his entire body like a flood. He lost track of time until he felt the rain pouring from the sky. Even the sky could feel his sorrow and began to w
Zayn had never felt so agonized in his life!It was because he knew that Faye was already at the end of her life, not even God could save her now!He had no idea why his heart would ache so badly and why he hated himself so much. It was well within his expectation that both Faye and him would not survive the fall. Now, he was in so much agony just because Faye was one step ahead of him in death. Was he in agony because Faye sacrificed her life for his survival, or was it because he would not see Faye again for the rest of his life?Zayn’s mind could not function normally anymore because he was in so much pain and tormented now. His body was still dropping constantly and at an increasing speed. They were dropping so fast that Faye could not withstand the process and was suffocating. After seeing Faye’s condition, Zayn did not even think. He began to stop his body from falling at full speed instinctively as he was born to do it until he became completely suspended in the air!I
Upon saying that, Faye kissed Zayn’s lips. It was a kiss so deep and unhindered. Zayn hugged Faye tightly as well. In the beginning, he was under the assumption that it was a very normal kiss. It was their final sentimentality before death. However, Zayn discovered that something was off soon!It was because he could clearly feel a gush of immense power passing from Faye’s mouth constantly. The intensity of the power had even surpassed that of the fruits he consumed in Shangri-la. The unexpected change caught him off guard and he was dumbfounded instantly. He did not manage to respond to the situation. What the heck was going on?He widened his eyes and stared at Faye before him. However, he soon saw something that sent a shiver down his spine. Faye’s hair turned from black to white swiftly at a visible speed!Moreover, Faye’s fair, tender skin aged constantly as if life was drained from her instantly. Her skin turned wrinkly and dry like a tree bark. The situation did
“Listen to my order, all members!”Meanwhile, Osiris spoke, his expression filled with ferocity . “Locate both of their bodies from the cliff at the fastest speed!”Upon saying that, he vanished from where he stood. Meanwhile, two people stood at a mysterious location that no one could see above Regicide Heofon’s ground. These two people were a man and a woman. The man was clad in armor and assumed the posture of an army general, filled with dominance. He exuded a powerful presence that had already surpassed the level of all powerhouses on earth. Even Osiris and Zayn were nothing in this man’s presence. On the other hand, the woman stood in front of the man. Her beauty was impeccable and she was as graceful as a fairy…The woman had her head lowered to look at the cliff ahead of her and cracked a peculiar smile. Speaking of which, it was not the first time these two people showed up on earth. They were the ones who brought up the live broadcast of Zayn and King Erik in Sha
