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
Zayn’s appearance had caused everyone in the boardroom to go silent.No one could have ever expected Zayn to show up in the heat of the moment.This included Faye, who was gawking at him with wide, startled eyes.“You guys don’t have to go looking for me, not when I’m here already,” Zayn said deeply as soon as he had entered. He saw where everyone was positioned in the boardroom and was able to deduce what had just happened. When he saw the bruise on Faye’s face, he flew into a distressed rage. “Whoever laid a hand on Fifi, show yourself. Right now!”Zayn rarely ever got angry in front of the Carters—he always ensured that he behaved very docilely. However, that was only because he was tolerating their awful behavior, and it was also a show of his good manners and upbringing. Despite this, when he saw the mark on Faye’s face, added with the look of fright on her anxious face, it was obvious that she had just been bullied. How could Zayn remain unphased?!Ever since Zayn’s grandfat
Zayn was not fazed at all when confronted by the situation because he never had any feelings for the Carters to begin with. Plus, if it was not for Faye, he did not even want to be there at all.On the other hand, Faye considered everyone in the boardroom to be her family. They were her uncles, aunts, elders, and cousins whom she peacefully interacted with during the festive season. Ironically, they all currently seemed more like her enemies. Faye was a sentimental person, so she was extremely saddened by the whole ordeal.Zayn could feel Faye’s pain, so he held onto her hand tightly as he gave her a bright smile. He cooed gently, “Fifi, you don’t have to feel sad. They’re all animals who aren’t worth your tears. I promised you that I’d protect you, so I’ll definitely fulfill that promise.”Faye did not believe him. She shot back angrily, “Zayn, didn’t I warn you not to come here? Why didn’t you listen? Do you want to go against my word that badly? Did you want to watch me make a fo
’How disgusting!’‘He’s revolting!’‘That insolent fool has no respect for any of us!’At that moment, their minds had gone completely amok as they glared at Zayn with slacked jaws and wide eyes. They were unable to regain their senses even after a while had passed.That was because, to them, it was completely unbelievable. In fact, it was more absurd than the sun rising from the west.Zayn, the deadbeat son-in-law of the Carters, who was a coward who would not even retaliate no matter how badly he was being insulted, was someone who everyone was used to seeing. Therefore, they never thought that Zayn would actually hit someone!In fact, even Faye was horrified as well. She was still in disbelief and even thought that she was hallucinating.Everyone in the boardroom was eerily silent for five minutes before they began to come to their senses.However, the moment they came around, they were extremely angry and began to cause an uproar!“He’s loathsome!!!”“Zayn, you deadbeat,
Faye panicked as she rambled urgently, “Zayn, why are you so rash?! I’m going to be in deep trouble because of you! I already told you not to come, but you came anyways… Sigh! You should just leave as soon as you can. They’ll seriously haul you to jail!”In comparison to how panicked Faye was, Zayn was the complete opposite. He had a calm expression on his face, he even had a faint smile playing on his lips. He held onto her hand and said, “I’ll be just fine, silly. I told you that I’m here to protect you, so I’m definitely going to fulfill that promise.”“How could you still be boasting so much at a time like this?! You… you’re impossible!” Faye’s eyes had turned red, sincerely worried for Zayn’s well-being. It was a change that she herself did not realize.But Zayn did. He was very happy—her concern felt like a warm embrace. He then said, “Don’t worry. They won’t have the guts to call the police. In fact, they’re going to come around and beg me for forgiveness.”Zayn deliberately
’What the f*ck? What’s happening?’Everyone had the same question running through their head. ‘Why was Mr. Wilson from Violet Vision Media Corp here?’Faye’s body trembled violently as her pupils quickly contracted, a look of disbelief occupying her face.The name Violet Vision had left a huge impact on her! That was because, at the very mention of the name, she was reminded of that tall figure with the funny clown mask—the cold and domineering chairman of Violet Vision!Instantly, her heart began to race uncontrollably. Her face, which had already lost its color, was now gradually turning red. Her fluctuating emotions had made her a shade of bright red.She bit her lip and unknowingly clenched her fists. ‘If Wilson’s here, wouldn’t that mean that the chairman’s here too?’‘Most importantly, why has Wilson shown up at Neotech at a time like this… Does that mean that the chairman’s been paying attention to my affairs? He knows that I’m in danger, that I’m desperate, so he’s appear
Everyone agreed to what George had just said.“That’s right, that’s right! Mr. Wilson is an esteemed guest who we can’t keep waiting. Let’s hurry up and meet him now!”“Speaking of which, why would Mr. Wilson want to invest in Neotech? Violet Vision is a media corporation. and Neotech’s just an electrical lighting equipment company… Both of these companies are completely unrelated.”“Why does it matter? What matters is that someone’s actually willing to invest in us. We’ve just struck gold!”“That’s right! This means that the Carters aren’t meant to fall just yet. Now that Violet Vision is going to invest in us, our family will surely be able to make a huge comeback, ha-ha-ha…”“This is such exciting news, our family will benefit from this greatly!”The sinister expression everyone had a moment ago had disappeared. In place of it, an expression of pure excitement took its place, as if they had already received Violet Vision’s investment.When George arrived at the entrance, he s
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
