It was something that an arrogant man like Jean could not put up with. In his anger, he burst out laughing. “Hah-hah-hah-hah! Very well, very well! Ivanka, you’re emboldened enough to behave so atrociously because you have the protection of a pretty boy? I’m going to slap this pansy to death, and then we’ll see what you have to say for yourself!”Upon saying that, he could not hold back himself anymore and made a move on Zayn. He did not hesitate at all and started with a lethal blow right off the bat. He aimed a jab at Zayn’s eyes, hoping to gouge them out with his fingers!He moved extremely swiftly and his fingers arrived before Zayn’s face almost instantaneously. It all took less than 0.01 seconds. One more inch and his fingers could have gouged out Zayn’s eyes in a flash. He was fully confident in his attack. Just as he expected, Zayn did not respond at all. He just stood there motionless. Jean was sure he had been scared stiff. However, before he could celebrate, he f
He realized that he was in deep trouble!It was the first thought that came into his mind!He found it unbelievable. He had thought he was already powerful enough. He was already half a step away from invincibilis state at thirty-three years old. He figured that there were only very few people in the world capable of achieving that.The people around him addressed him as ‘true genius’, and he was reputed to be the savior of his family. He felt extremely confident and assumed that he would eventually become the most powerful person in the world. Instead, the man before him crumbled his arrogance and willpower into nothing. With a simple move, the man had him subdued, and he was rendered utterly incapable of resisting. He could tell that both of them were certainly on completely different levels. He was on his knees and felt as if Zayn was no longer a man but a mountain, bearing down on him so hard that he felt suffocated!He could not understand how such a powerful man existed
Zayn could not be bothered to respond to the request, so he turned around and walked away, fading into the crowd in an instant. Ivanka was planning on chasing after him, but he left too swiftly and vanished in just the blink of an eye. She felt extremely dejected and grumbled, “Mr. Larson went away too quickly! I still didn’t get the autograph he promised!”She felt extremely displeased. Jean stood up from the ground at last. His expression turned somber as he looked in the direction Zayn had gone. Even though Zayn was far more powerful than he was, he was made to kneel down to him, and Jean was having trouble accepting the fact that Zayn had humiliated him in the presence of so many people. He felt even more displeased when he knew that Ivanka shared a secret with the man. Still, he showed no sign of anger. On the contrary, he cracked a smile and said to Ivanka, “Ivanka, it seems that you’re acquainted with that man. May I know what his name is?”Ivanka darted a look at Jean
Next to him, Ivanka could see that he was being quiet, but she had no idea what he was thinking about. She assumed that he admired Zayn or had been shocked by Zayn’s technique. “So now you know how formidable Mr. Larson is, right? This is all I’m going to tell you, Mr. Larson and I have a special relationship, and the man I love is a big shot like him. I don’t have feelings for you, so it’s better for you to move on. Don’t bother me anymore from now on, okay?” Ivanka said in a brusque manner. Jean gritted his teeth tightly in anger upon hearing that. Ivanka had humiliated him with her words!However, he did not refute like he did before. Instead, he nodded silently and cracked a smile as he said, “Alright, I understand. I won’t bother you anymore from now on.”Ivanka was overjoyed. She said, “Great. It seems that you know yourself very well, Jean. If you promise not to speak of marriage to my father from now on, we can still be friends.”The smile on Jean’s face grew wider. He n
In reality, he wanted to test Paxton’s skills as well. Conversely, the rest of the people at the scene were baffled and wondered why Paxton and Bjorn would suddenly attack Zayn. They had never heard of any of them bearing a grudge against each other. It all happened quickly. They felt as if the vision before their eyes went blurry, and by the time they could see what was happening, Paxton and Bjorn had already made a move on Zayn and all three were fighting. For his part, Zayn smiled nonchalantly when he was under attack. He began to launch a counterattack without the slightest hesitation. This time, he did not hold back much and utilized his full power from the start. That was a sign of respect to a senior like Paxton. On the other hand, the result of his action was instant defeat. In the eyes of the others, the fight lasted less than three seconds. Next, they heard Paxton say “Sigh… It seems it’s true that each new generation will surpass the previous one. Zayn, you
Paxton looked toward Zayn, his gaze filled with admiration and pride. He was very pleased with his performance thus far. In reality, he did not offer much help to Zayn, but he had only answered some of his queries on martial arts. However, he admired Zayn’s conduct very much and it had already been a long time since he encountered a young man of such character. Most geniuses were arrogant, bloated with pride, and self-centered, never showing any concern for the people around them. The more powerful they were, the more selfish and despicable. On the other hand, Zayn was completely unlike that. On the contrary, he managed to remain true to himself and abided by his conscience from start to finish. The rest of the people looked at Zayn in admiration and respect as well. Paxton patted Zayn’s shoulder and said in delight, “With you around, I can retire, hah-hah!”Yes, thanks to Zayn, Ares could resign from his leading post in Rheasia. It was because Zayn was the sole candidate to
Zayn shook his head and said, “No. It’s my wife, Faye. She was abducted by one such powerhouse…”Zayn then told Paxton about the incident. Paxton widened his eyes in astonishment upon hearing that. It was apparent that he did not expect Zayn’s wife to be associated with such things.In truth, he knew about Faye and had even assigned people to look into her background. The investigation turned out clean, yet judging by the current situation, Faye had actually come from an unusual family. How could he not feel astonished?He fell silent for a moment before saying, “To my knowledge, the five strongest powerhouses in the world are Regicide Heofon’s Osiris, Sicut In Caelo’s Caelum, Nirvana Blest’s Bloodgod, one from Zeus Palace, and also Shiloh Shaw from the common world. As for who it is that abducted your wife, it’s hard to say.”Zayn’s eyes lit up upon hearing that and said, “There’s a super powerhouse in our world as well?Paxton nodded and said, “Yes, Shiloh is the most powerful
He panted while he said, “Sir Ares, the clubs have begun to invade the common world!”Paxton’s eyes immediately went wide with surprise upon hearing that. “What?”Zayn was startled as well. He quickly calmed down and realized that he should not have been so surprised. The conflict between the clubs and the common world was already past the point of no return, and the great war would happen at any moment. If it was already upon them, it signified that the clubs’ world was accelerating their plans and starting the war in advance!They would need to boost the morale of the troops and prepare for the war as fast as they could to keep casualties to a minimum. Paxton immediately said, “Speak clearly. Where are they invading?”If all the clubs were invading the common world, it was a major issue and there was no way the conflict would be a small one. If they were to manage the issue poorly, many people would die. In fact, it could even change the structure of the whole world drastical
