“Sigh, do you know that Zayn’s wife is a really beautiful woman named Faye? She is one of the three prettiest women in Waltz City!”“In that case, it seems that Zayn is really ungrateful…”All at once, most of the crowd began to engage in a heated conversation. They were criticizing Zayn and thinking how disdainful his actions were. Because of that, Zayn felt rather frustrated. The more he experienced this, the more he felt that he was attracting trouble. He would always draw attention wherever he went. There was nothing he could do because his identity as the Carters’ son-in-law was well known in Waltz City. There was even an article about him published in the Waltz Daily that resulted in many people hearing about his infamy even without recognizing him in person. Alexandra’s expression was constantly changing drastically upon hearing the voices from the crowd. Her gaze was undergoing changes as well when she looked toward Zayn. “Why? Do you think that I’m that type of person
Alexandra covered her face in shame since she was involved in the situation. She felt immensely embarrassed. The crowd was watching in schadenfreude as well. They enjoyed witnessing a catfight like this the most. Zayn said in a deep voice, “Moses, enough is enough. I choose not to fuss about with you for the sake of you being Fifi’s classmate, so don’t you push your luck.”Moses was not bothered by Zayn’s warning. On the contrary, he became even more delighted and assumed that Zayn was guilty for sure. Alexandra tugged at Zayn’s hand and said curiously, “Let’s leave, shall we?”Although Zayn had wanted to leave earlier, he would not leave now. Moses’s behavior had already pissed him off completely. “No need, wait for me while I deal with him.”“However, he is calling your wife. Aren’t you afraid?” Alexandra’s face was filled with fear. Zayn said gracefully, “What’s there to be afraid of, my conscience is clear.”Alexandra was in disbelief. She covered her face on purpose to
Moses lost his mind. He had forgotten his identity as the sales manager of the showroom. All he could think about was to expose Zayn and watch him get humiliated. When he was unable to get Faye over the phone, he snatched the phone of a salesperson on the side with an undefiable tone—disregarding the person’s reluctance—and punched Faye’s number in swiftly to make the call.The call was connected shortly, and Faye’s aloof voice was heard again. Moses was quick to speak up, “Fifi, it’s me. Don’t hang up. I have something huge to tell you. It’s about Zayn!”As expected, Faye did not hang up but asked in a low tone instead, “What’s with him?”Moses recovered his conceited stance as he replied, “Fifi, as an old schoolmate, out of kindness, I’d like to remind you to check your accounts if a big sum of money is missing.”Moses had the call put on speaker. The way he told on Zayn with a cocksure look mirrored the stereotypical treacherous character in TV series who would always snitch on
Alexandra, too, was staring at Zayn in surprise.She came from an affluent family and had several sports cars sitting at home, but 15 million dollars was not a paltry sum to her. The amount would probably come slightly easier from someone of her father’s level.How old was Zayn? He was about her age, she guessed—and he could produce 15 million dollars to invest in a company? The point was that everyone was calling him poor and saying that he had no respect among the Carters because he married into the family. How could he have 15 million dollars?This was simply peculiar!Moses took the shock the worst. He was thoroughly stupefied and his mind was muddled. He could not wrap his head around it. A man who married into his wife’s family like Zayn could not even find himself a job. How could he even be connected to 15 million dollars? This was more farfetched than folk tales!Zayn felt a headache as well. He knew that Faye would not get tricked, but he did not expect her to disclose t
”There’s a sales manager named Moses Belon in the showroom. I don’t like him. Dismiss him,” Zayn instructed faintly and added like he thought of something, “Blacklist him, too. Make sure he isn’t accepted in any 4S in Waltz City.”Sean was bewildered when he answered the call. The chairman was so rich. What was he doing at his 4S? Wait a minute. The possibility that struck Sean dotted his forehead with cold sweat…Was the chairman…investigating his assets?After hanging up, Sean called the Audi 4S manager promptly to carry out the chairman’s order.Moses wore a look of disdain when he saw Zayn making the call, assuming that he was just putting up an act. He realized it now—no, he was certain—that even what Faye said just now was all gibberish. Zayn could never produce 15 million dollars and Neotech was just a lighting business that was not valued much. Who would be so dumb to toss 15 million dollars in there?With his arms crossed against his chest, Moses scoffed, “Huh, you’re reall
The showroom manager was a stout fatty with a palm bigger than Moses’s face. His hard slap was nothing a groomed man like Moses could take. Moses was flung to the floor immediately. As a result, his glasses broke and two of his teeth flew out.The other people took two steps back, shocked by the showroom manager’s display of violence.Moses was dazed from the slap but was also struck into realization. He was finally aware that he was not dreaming. He had actually put his foot in his mouth. Instantly, fear, regret, confusion, indignation, and plenty of other emotions overwhelmed him.This job was crucial to him. If he lost his job, he might not even be able to maintain his life because he was currently in a lot of debt.“I’m wrong. Please don’t fire me. I can’t lose this job!” Moses pleaded. The showroom manager had hit him, but he dared not harbor even an inkling of revenge. He was well aware of the manager’s authority. If this was brought to the police, he was going to end up in a
”Anything else?” asked Zayn.Alexandra stroked her stomach. “I haven’t had lunch, so I’m a little hungry. Eat with me?”Zayn shook his head. “No, thanks. I’ve eaten.”Surprisingly, Alexandra caught his hand and acted cute like a kitten. “Please…Come on…Eat with me. It’s still early now. It won’t take up much of your time.”Zayn was embarrassed when she held his hand. He was a married man and should not be touching a woman unnecessarily now. Prying his hand away, he countered, “But why must I accompany you?”“Because I only have you as my friend in Waltz City,” Alexandra answered matter-of-factly.Zayn rolled his eyes mentally. To be honest, his meal just now had been in a hurry and he was indeed still hungry. Now that Alexandra insisted and refused to get down from the car, he could only agree to her and eat at the hotel.When he alighted from the vehicle, Zayn was sharp enough to sense that both tracking professionals were still around. From the looks of it, they were most prob
The sound of a man’s delighted voice from the other end of the phone call was heard. “Not yet, actually. I’m only going to be having an engagement banquet. You’re not doing too bad yourself, Nathan. Have you managed to get Faye within your grasp?”That was right. The person on the line was Nathan. He just so happened to be eating in that hotel as well, thus he ended up bumping into Zayn and Alexandra together.The first reaction he had was to call William and tell him the good news.Alexandra was also one of the three prettiest women in Waltz City. Although she was on par with Faye in terms of beauty, her reputation was nowhere as great as the latter’s, hence most ordinary people would not know who Alexandra was. However, within the social circle, Alexandra was very famous. Not only was she pretty, but she also had a solid background since she was the only daughter of the Smiths. In fact, she could even be said to be the woman most men desired to claim for themselves. In fact, Nat
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
