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
The people seated in the meeting room were all moguls. Their expressions were very solemn, and they were constantly proposing their own solutions. The meeting lasted for a few hours. In the end, orders were dispatched one by one, so the whole country would be on the alert. In preparation for war, their nation would be sealed tightly. Meanwhile, the eight countries that had been invaded began to seek reinforcements from Rheasia. Zayn walked out of the meeting room feeling slightly weighed down emotionally. His phone rang, and when he pulled it out to take a glance, he found it was an unknown number calling him. “Hello, who’s there?”A sweet female voice came from the other end of the call. “Mr. Larson, it’s me, Ivanka Cooper. Do you still remember me?”Zayn immediately recognized who she was as soon as he heard her voice. He asked curiously, “How did you get my number?”“I admire you very much, so I tried my best to search for a way to reach out to you. You were in a rush w
The next night, Ivanka showed up to take Zayn just as planned. Zayn immediately smelled an enticing perfume as soon as he got into the car. It came from Ivanka’s body. Moreover, it was apparent that she was all dressed up for the night. She wore a beautiful gown that accentuated her charming figure. Zayn had no choice but to acknowledge that Ivanka was a very beautiful woman with a lovely body. She was a little over twenty years old and exuded youth and confidence. Zayn had also noticed that there were two other women about Ivanka’s age in the car. They were similarly young and pretty. Zayn could tell at one glance that they were rich kids. They stared at Zayn boldly at all times without even blinking once. It was as if Zayn was some precious treasure. “Hello! Good evening, Mr. Larson!”Ivanka greeted him with a smile, her entire person radiating with a delightful aura. She felt slightly anxious before she came because she was worried that Zayn might stand her up. It was for
She did not doubt Zayn at all because her family ran the Warrior Protection Group. She long since heard of his great reputation. She admired him very much, especially after witnessing how he fought. She knew that Zayn, with his sharp hearing, would certainly be able to hear the two women’s conversation no matter how soft they spoke. It made her feel embarrassed and angry. Hence, she glared at the two women ferociously and said, “Mr. Larson is my idol. If you still continue to badmouth him, I’m going to be angry!”“Ivanka, you’re…”“Why are you getting angry? We’re only advising you for your own good…”They were planning on commenting further, but they saw the seriousness in Ivanka’s eyes and knew that she was infuriated, so they did not have the courage to say anything more. Their expressions remained doubtful, and they refused to believe that Zayn was a skilled fighter. They still thought of him as a swindler. Zayn felt indifferent to the situation, not because he was shamele
With both of them in agreement, the two women began making a plan. Over at Zayn’s side, he followed Ivanka into the venue. He had no choice but to acknowledge that Ivanka was rather well-regarded there. As soon as she showed up, she immediately drew the attention of many. “Look, Ivanka’s here…”“Whoa, Ivanka looks ravishing tonight.”“Of course. Ivanka has always been one of the prettiest in our circle of friends.”“Huh, who is that dude standing next to Ivanka? He doesn’t look familiar and I haven’t seen him around. Do any of you know him?”“I’ve never seen him before. Moreover, he doesn’t look like he’s from our circle. He’s so average and he’s dressed in such cheap clothes. What’s wrong with him?”“Fuck, look at how Ivanka is being so respectful to him. What the heck is going on?”As Zayn walked along the way, he heard many criticisms made toward him. He said to Ivanka, “It seems that your friends aren’t very welcoming of me.”Ivanka immediately said, “That’s not the
There was a spatter of applause from them and they said “Welcome. We’ve heard so much about you,” in an indulgent manner. Zayn came to realize that these people were not from the martial arts world so they did not know him. His interest diminished substantially. He waved his hand to stop Ivanka from speaking after noticing that she was about to say more. He said, “It’s okay. They’re not from the martial arts world, so it’s not necessary to introduce me to them.”Embarrassed, Ivanka immediately said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Larson. I didn’t expect it to turn out like this.”Zayn would not lower himself to the level of a young woman, so he shook his head and said with a smile, “I’m here tonight because I wish to meet your father.”Ivankan’s eyes dimmed for a moment upon hearing that. She muttered softly to herself, “Only to meet my father?”“Hmm? What did you say again?”Ivanka hastily shook her head and said, “Nothing, nothing.”Zayn noticed that Ivanka was behaving strangely, but h
