In the end, Thomas beat Daryl up. He experienced a sense of unprecedented delight and was pleased with the revenge!All this time, Daryl had always been the most powerful figure in university, plus he owned a group of lackeys, so no one had the audacity to disrespect him. As time passed, Daryl was seen as an undefeatable man in everyone’s perception. Everyone including Thomas thought so. However, he only realized how weak Daryl was after engaging in a fight with him earlier. It turned out that Daryl could be knocked down with one blow!“Did that feel good?” Zayn asked Thomas on their way home. The words escaped Thomas’s mouth as he said, “Really good! It felt absolutely great. I’ve never felt so amazing in my life before!”Meanwhile, he was grinning widely with his fists tightly balled up and his face still flushed. He appeared to be especially excited when he pumped his clenched fists in the air constantly and cheered for himself a few times. Zayn smiled calmly but did not
He wondered how his brother was now.Zayn had an intuition that there would come a day when his elder brother would surely come looking for trouble with him. However, he was not afraid. On the contrary, he was anticipating that because there were some matters that needed to be solved anyhow. For example, how did his grandfather suddenly fall ill four years ago then turn into a vegetable!? It was a mystery, and Zayn had always assumed that the reason was closely related to Zidane. For the next two days, Thomas woke up very early with the strong intention to join Zayn for a morning run. He wanted to improve his fitness level so that he could also become a powerhouse. However, his motivation only lasted two days. He could not sustain his efforts by the third day and backed out straightforwardly. Zayn expected the outcome earlier, so he did not push Thomas either. One day, Zayn woke up at five o’clock in the morning. He did not go for a run but left the house early instead, dr
Zayn’s remark was very unexpected. He was obviously the only person in the graveyard, yet he was talking in a nonexistent direction. If there was someone else there, the person would certainly be scared out of his wits thinking that Zayn must be seeing ghosts. It was true that there was no one in the direction where Zayn was looking. It was all empty with the twilight breeze blowing across the ground. However, it did not take long after his voice faded away for a man to emerge from behind a tombstone. The man was dressed in a black suit that allowed him to stay perfectly camouflaged in the night soundlessly. It was fortunate that the sky was already turning bright gradually, hence his black suit grew more conspicuous with time. He was a rather good-looking man with a faint smile on his lips. His entire body exuded an evil charm that made him unforgettable. “Zayn, my younger brother, we haven’t seen each other for four years, yet you’re actually capable of sensing my presenc
His speed had already surpassed the limits of an ordinary person’s reaction time. It was fortunate that Zayn was no ordinary person though. He was an expert in combat. In addition to that, he had been secretly on guard against Zidane all this time. As a result, his pupils constricted for a moment, then he reacted at once by dodging Zidane’s kick with ease. “Impressive. You’ve made improvements since the last time. I was still under the assumption that you’ve let yourself go after living with your in-laws for four years.” Zidane did not continue to pursue and attack Zayn after his kick missed. On the contrary, he clasped his hands behind his back and stared at Zayn smilingly. There was not an ounce of hostility in his expression. Instead, he looked as cool as the spring breeze. Of course, he looked calm on the surface. As his opponent of many years, Zayn could see the sombreness and murderous intent in the depths of his gaze in a glance. With a smile, Zayn said, “That’s right. Y
Zidane was well aware of Zayn’s idea. In reality, he had the same intention to look for an open space so that they could engage in combat properly. There were way too many restrictions to fight here anyhow. Even though he talked as if he could not be bothered, in truth, he did not have the courage to destroy his grandfather’s grave for real. Otherwise, his reputation would be ruined if news of this incident were to travel. Even if he was even more powerful, the Larsons would never tolerate his behavior. The country paid great attention to commemorate the deceased. Connor was still his grandfather regardless. It would be a huge disrespect for a grandson to destroy his grandfather’s grave, so he would certainly be kicked out of the family. There was also one more reason—he wanted to engage in proper combat with Zayn!All this while, he had been living in Zayn’s shadow and felt very recalcitrant about that. He had been training arduously for the past four years and made good progress
It was true. Over the past four years, albeit Zayn having continued his training in secret, his living conditions were much worse than Zidane’s. Everything else aside, his physical fitness level was way poorer than Zidane’s. When it came to combat proficiency, Zayn could rely on his natural talent to make up for his lack of training. However, he could not do the same with his lack of physical fitness.As a result, Zayn still could not defeat Zidane after ten minutes. Exhausted, he was starting to fail at sustaining his efforts. He breathed heavily while his speed and strength of delivering each attack were dropping as well. Zidane immediately noticed this. His eyes lit up and he burst out laughing aloud. “You’re too tired! You’ve lost, Zayn!”Upon saying that, he immediately went into counterattack mode and delivered his blows ferociously without giving Zayn a chance to rest. Had this been in the past, how could Zidane have possibly been a worthy opponent of Zayn’s when they we
The sound of the gunshot came so unexpectedly that Zidane was startled. His intention to crush Zayn halted to a stop as well.Zayn seized the opportunity to exert his final ounce of strength to roll to his right in a haste and struggled free from Zidane’s foot!Following the gunshot, a man’s voice was heard saying, “Mr. Zidane, show mercy by forgiving others. Stop it.”Zayn immediately raised his head to look up and found a young man dressed in sports attire who appeared to be out for a morning run. He stood more than 10 meters away and held a silver pocket pistol in his hand with a faint smile on his face. Zidane saw the man as well. His expression changed a little. “Is that you, Lil Hyde?”The man who was addressed as ‘Lil Hyde’ nodded and said, “It’s a rare occasion for you to still remember me, Mr. Zidane. I’m honored.”If Nathan Sullivan were here, he would certainly be able to identify at one glance that that person known as Lil Hyde was precisely the renowned underworld k
Instinctively, he believed Lil Hyde.Mr. Hyde spoke slowly, “I don’t know what Master Larson’s intention was either.”“Hold on! That’s not right!” Zayn immediately discovered a piece of crucial information. He stared at Mr. Hyde and asked, “Since when did Grandpa give you the order?”According to the timeline, his grandfather suddenly fell ill four years ago, lost his consciousness, and turned into a vegetable. Furthermore, he was framed as the criminal in that incident as well. Since his grandfather had already turned into a vegetable, how did he still give Lil Hyde the order? If it was not his grandfather’s order, out of obligation, Lil Hyde had been fully capable of coming to Zayn’s aid and helping Zayn grow. Instead, Zayn had been forced to endure hardships as a deadbeat!As a result, the contraindication of this event was obvious. The only sensible explanation was that Lil Hyde was lying. His grandfather had already ordered Lil Hyde to do so even before he lost his consciousne
