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
“Nathan Sullivan?” Zayn furrowed his brows ever so slightly, feeling rather surprised to learn this. Mr. Hyde nodded then narrated the proceedings of the incident to Zayn before he finally said, “Nathan seems to resent you quite a lot. I thought about taking him out at the time, but I decided to put the idea on hold afterward.”“Ah? Why is that so?” Zayn looked at Mr. Hyde, his interest piqued. Mr. Hyde answered with a smile, “It’s best you make the final decision in this matter, Mr. Zayn.”They got into the car with Mr. Hyde in the driver’s seat. Zayn got some shut-eye to recuperate while he muttered Nathan’s name twice. Then, he said, “He’s only a trifle character. There’s no need to kill him.”Mr. Hyde wanted to say something else but could not bring himself to do it in the end, so he answered, “Yes, sir.”They arrived at Zayn’s place soon. Mr. Hyde then said, “Mr. Zayn, what are you planning to do from now on? As long as I can be of help, please don’t hesitate to give me or
At the thought of how Zidane humiliated him earlier, he could not help feeling rage coursing through his veins. He was infuriated. Just wait. He would return Zidane’s kick today a hundred times worse!…For the next few days, Zayn returned to his usual calm self. He went to work every day. Under his management, Violet Vision’s market value was increasing continuously, and just that morning, its share price had solidified. The news of this event drew the attention of many people. Meanwhile, the identity of Violet Vision’s chairman had become even more of a mystery to the public. Many experienced owners of corporations extended their invitation to Violet Vision’s chairman for meals and games of golf. They wanted to be acquainted with this mysterious man and find out who he was. Even so, Zayn one by one declined all the invitations one by one.He was not planning to reveal himself just yet. Sean could not figure out the reasons behind Zayn’s decisions. However, he did not hav
Ever since the previous incident, there was a knot in William’s heart. Something was bothering him, and he was constantly trying to make trouble for Zayn! Despite his efforts, he could not find the opportunity to do so all this while and was growing increasingly frustrated. As a result, he went there to drink his troubles away and bumped into Howard unexpectedly.Frankly, he had almost forgotten about Howard. Seeing him now, he was immediately reminded of Faye. Then, his mind began to churn as well. Why had he not begun his plan with Faye first?For the past two days, the image of Zayn spending time together with Alexandra filled his thoughts. He had almost lost his mind because of it. Every time he thought about it, he felt uneasy and ill. If it was true, he could totally see himself giving Zayn a dose of his own medicine. In addition, Faye was one of the three prettiest women in Waltz City. Her beauty and appearance were certainly not inferior to Alexandra’s. He let Faye off ea
