Adam’s death had greater implications. It would affect the country’s power that was tied to him when he advanced to invincibilis state in the past. He had the ability to affect Murica’s power and that was how he managed to progress so quickly in his training. On the other hand, Murica’s power had transformed into an invisible force that surged into Zayn’s body upon Adam's death. It was a fantastic process difficult to be described with the current knowledge available in this world. Zayn closed his eyes and he could feel that his mental and physical power was strengthening!A substantial portion of Murica’s power had fused with him. It was a very rare opportunity. It allowed him to recover from his exhaustion swiftly. After a long time, he opened his eyes and cracked a brilliant smile. Looking toward the nearby crowd bowing to him, raised his hand gently and said, “You may stand.”He spoke nonchalantly, but his tone was filled with a force that could not be defied. Those who
When Zayn boarded the flight, he felt rather emotional. It had been three months since he left Rheasia, and that was considered a very long time since he parted with Faye. Frankly, he missed Faye very much. It was only that he always hid his longing for Faye in his heart. Other than Faye, he missed Shaelyn very much as well, of course. Shaeyn was his lover regardless and there was a deep foundation of affection between both of them. He wondered how his two lovers were after three months. He wondered if Faye had become a Tier-2 master fighter and if Shaelyn had become a master fighter.At the thought of how the three of them would be reunited happily upon his return, the corner of Zayn’s lips curled up into a joyous smile involuntarily. He was delighted. The latest incident had made Zayn famous. His name was known across the globe because his two fights had been broadcast live and he had defeated Adam, shocking the entire world. On the other hand, he was a low-key man. In ord
Hence, he looked away, shrugged and prepared to head for a meal. However, Annabelle looked toward him just as he was turning away. She was stunned for a moment upon seeing his silhouette from behind. Soon afterward, her expression changed. There was excitement and surprise on her face as she chased after Zayn. The silhouette was so familiar. It was the silhouette of the man she missed so badly over the days!Annabelle’s actions startled the woman next to her instantly. “Yikes! Annabelle, where are you going?”There were a few other people with Annabelle. They were her staff and they were also taken aback. Seeing their employer react in such a way was quite a surprise.They had been working for Annabelle for a very long time and she had always been a very quiet person in their minds. She was a very polite, graceful woman who would never behave in such a manner. Annabelle was very excited and all she could see was that figure walking away from her.That figure was so familiar
Under Annabelle’s nervous, watchful eyes, the man in front of her turned around, revealing his relatively sallow face. When she saw the face, her initially anticipatory mood vanished and in its place was dejection. She had mistaken the man before her as Zayn. Even if he did look very similar to Zayn from behind, the man was actually a stranger. “Miss, is there anything that I can help you with?” said Zayn. He had not only changed his face but also his voice. Other than his body shape, he was already a totally different person in every other way. The ability to change one’s face and voice was fatfetched for normal people, and it was very difficult for one to change completely even by utilizing modern technology. However, it was as easy as breathing for someone at Zayn’s level. He had changed his facial features so completely that his own wife, let alone Annabelle, might not have been able to recognize him if he was standing before her. Annabelle’s initially delighted and a
Over at the other side, Zayn did not leave immediately, but he fixed his attention on Annabelle. He heard the conversation between her and the assistant. Seeing the way she was acting, it was clear that Annabelle’s career was not doing so well. It was as if she was in some kind of trouble. Zayn did not plan to get involved, but he and Annabelle were still friends regardless. If his friend was in trouble, he could not simply stand around and do nothing.Thus, he decided to wait longer and keep an eye on Annabelle in case she was in trouble.It did not take long before Rose received a call. She appeared to be pleasantly surprised and nudged at Annabelle while she said, “Perk up, will you? Mr. Donough is here. Show your good side so you can win him over!”Annabelle was still feeling slightly dejected, but she forced a smile instinctively even as her heart sank. It was as if she was already used to being manipulated by life and had grown accustomed to obeying and accommodating others.
Zayn had no choice but to acknowledge that Mr. Donough did appear very imposing indeed. He was not old, yet he exuded an extraordinary quality and was truly handsome. Most importantly, he looked masculine, unlike those feminine, weak boys out there. Many young men these days spent their days in bars and clubs all year long and wasted their health away despite their young age, which made them appear especially frail. On the other hand, Mr. Donough did not look like that, which was rare for a man of his age. “Huh…”Zayn raised an eyebrow. The sight of Mr. Donough had caught his attention!He had not planned on paying attention to the man. After all, no matter how successful this man’s business empire was, he was still a weakling in Zayn’s eyes. Zayn was the ferocious man who managed to kill Murica’s most powerful man, so he would not take any heir to a business empire seriously. Still, he was drawn to Mr. Donough’s presence. Beyond his masculine appearance, Mr. Donoigh was
Though it quickly vanished, there was anxiety and dread in Annabelle’s eyes when she saw Mr. Donough. Given her current situation, this was her only option. It was a task assigned to her by her company. If she failed to please Mr. Donough and ruin the collaboration, according to her contract, she would need to pay a lot of money as compensation!She did not have such a large amount, so she would be doomed if she had to pay.Thus, she could only grit her teeth and endure it no matter how unwilling she was. She hoped that Mr. Donough was not a brute who would force himself on her without her consent!There were times when a woman was so helpless that there was nothing else she could do. She remembered the tall, muscular figure from her past. If Zayn had been there, she figured he would certainly protect her. What a shame that she had only imagined him. Her feelings for him were one-sided. He had been on her mind so many times over the past year, but Zayn never showed up.Given th
“Is that so? I look forward to it then, heh-heh.”When he said that, his expression was extremely wretched and perverted. Every person there was an adult, so they understood very well what he meant. It was apparent that he was going to use the unspoken rule on Annabelle. Such situations were not uncommon. Indeed, they were rather frequentHowever, Annabelle relied on her talents and hard work to make her way in the entertainment industry for so long. Ever since joining show business, she had never climbed the ladder through foul means. Even so, with her career in decline, she was forced to abide by the unspoken rule and found it to be extremely saddening and painful. Whatever she felt, there was nothing she could do to resist at that point. She could only accept it in silence. She felt very uneasy from Mr. Donough’s stare which seemed to be undressing her.Being in a situation like that, she could not help but think about Zayn. Although he was not that good-looking, Zayn
