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
He looked to be extremely respectful and sincere. He had the bearing of a junior apologizing and seeking forgiveness from a senior. Everyone at the scene acquainted with him was shocked, especially those from his social circle. They were staring in bewilderment and assumed that their eyes were playing tricks on them. One should know that Jean was not just anyone. Apart from being powerful, Jean was very arrogant, so they had never seen him being so respectful toward someone. It would be fine if the person was a renowned figure, but the man before them looked very young. In fact, he looked even younger than Jean so what made him apologize to the stranger in such a grand manner?One had no choice but to acknowledge that Jean was so good at appearing sincere that there was no flaw to be found in his performance. Even Ivanka, who stood next to him, was deceived. Indeed, she was delighted to see him so contrite.Given Jean’s character, she had been slightly worried that Jean would n
Still, he found an opportunity to do so by seizing Zayn’s power!If he could kill Zayn with the poison, Zayn’s exuberant power would certainly be transferred to him as it was supposed to be. He figured he would certainly be as good as Zayn if he was in possession of the power. The thought alone left him extremely excited. Unfortunately, he never expected that Zayn had his scheme all figured out. Moreover, his poison was entirely ineffective on a man like Zayn. Instead, he would be the one to come out worse after this encounter. After taking the glass, Zayn cracked a smile after. “It seems that you’ve repented and reformed earnestly. That's an admirable achievement, so I shall forgive you.”“Thank you, Mr. Larson!” Jean spoke respectfully with a relieved yet excited expression. He then stared straight at Zayn so he could watch the man gulp down the drink with his own eyes!However, he was disappointed to find that Zayn did not drink it immediately after taking the glass. In
Jean was finally relieved after seeing Zayn gulp down the poisoned drink!He felt the weight on his chest lifted!He could not stop himself from cracking a proud smile. Zayn was doomed and his plan was a success!‘Hmph. So what if you’re an invincibilis fighter, the chosen one of this generation? I’m still going to kill you. When you’re dead, your power is going to be channeled to me! After that, I’m going to take your place and become the chosen one of this era, hah-hah-hah…’Jean was so delighted that his entire person flushed in a sickly way. Next to Zayn, Ivanka clapped and said, “It’s great that the misunderstanding has already been resolved. Mr. Larson, the dance is about to begin. Would you like to dance with me?”She looked at Zayn in anticipation. Zayn placed down the glass, shook his head and said, “It’s fine. I’m not good at dancing.”Ivanka said, “I can teach you. With your coordination, you’ll certainly be able to pick it up quickly!”She extended her hand towar
Ivanka hastily shook her head. Her face blushed even more when she felt Zayn’s breath on her ear. “No, no. I’m only nervous.”“Ah, is that so?” Zayn chuckled and began to move his feet to the rhythm of the music. Ivanka had a charming figure and was a real beauty, but Zayn did not feel any feelings for her because he had already encountered so many beautiful women, making him resistant to her charms.Still, It was a very pleasurable experience to be dancing with a woman like Ivanka. As he danced, he projected his consciousness and detected Jean’s emotions. The man was jealous, furious, agitated, secretly joyous, but slightly puzzled at the same time. Yes, Jean found it rather strange because Zayn was still all fine ten minutes after drinking the poison. He wondered why he was not showing any signs of discomfort yet. Generally, the effect of the poison would have been apparent already, and Zayn would have been in pain. Instead, he was perfectly fine. Jean felt restless all o
Hearing Jean’s remarks, the crowd abruptly came to realize that he had poisoned Zayn’s drink!Moreover, it was strong enough to kill a skilled fighter. Ivanka’s eyes widened in surprise. Seeing Jean’s manic appearance, she was confused as to why he would do such a thing !Zayn was the most outstanding man who could bring the most hope to the whole of Rheasia. Even though she did not know about him before, she knew that Zayn was Rheasia’s hope after learning about his deeds. She was certain that he would rise to be the highest authority in Rheasia. Even so, Jean had tried to poison a man like that. Could he actually bring himself to do that?When she recovered from her surprise, she immediately walked over to give Jean a ferocious slap and scolded aloud, “Jean, you’re a beast! Mr. Larson is the third ever invincibilis fighter in Rheasia and is a great hope to the nation ! How could you poison him?!”Ivanka flew into a great rage. She did not have feelings for Jean beforehand,
On the other hand, he felt very displeased that Zayn could advance so far that he had to look up to him!He was especially displeased after how Zayn had humiliated him the other day. Who was Zayn to do that?!That was the moment he decided that he would kill him!He had already come up with a foolproof plan. He would tak Zayn’s power after he poisoned him, and then, he would be able to transform and take Zayn’s place. As for the crime of poisoning an invincibilis powerhouse to death, why would it matter when he was about to become the next invincibilis fighter?He had cost Rheasia an invincibilis fighter, but he would become an invincibilis fighter immediately too, so he would be as if he was compensating them for the loss.Hence, it was a foolproof plan. In fact, he was very grateful to Ivanka because he figured that he would never have got such a chance had she not been acquainted with Zayn!Despite having such a carefully laid plan, there was one thing that he had misjudged
“That’s impossible! That’s absolutely impossible!” He immediately shook his head and said, “Hmph! Zayn, you might think that you can deceive me, but I know that you’re only putting on a brave face as you die. You think that you can scare me with that? The drink I gave you had enough poison in it to kill ten thousand people. Even if you’re an invincibilis fighter, after drinking it, you’re still going to end up dead!”Jean paused for a moment before saying, “However, I’m rather surprised to see you being able to last for so long. It seems that you’re rather impressive for an invincibilis fighter.”Ivanka could not refrain herself anymore upon hearing that. She pointed at Jean, so furious that her hand was shaking. “Jean! You! You’re a beast! How could you do that! Mr. Larson is the pillar of our country! Killing him is equal to destroying our nation’s foundation!”Upon saying that, she wanted to beat up Jean, but he did not give her the chance to do so. He berated her instantly. “Tha
