Faye was like a bird freed from its shackles. Her feelings had been emptied like a pitcher; gone was the hesitation, gone was the conflict in her mind. Everything was crystal clear—her emotions flowed so naturally.

“You might be shocked; I know you are. I’ve only met you three times, and I’m already irrevocably in love with you,” she said, passionately meeting Zayn’s eyes. Her gaze was softened by a gentleness that was previously unseen. “To be honest, ever since we’ve first met, your big heart... Your altruism… They left an impression on me that won’t ever go away. That was the darkest moment of my life. I was in despair; I was hapless, in pain, and I accepted my fate as a sacrifice. But you… You were the one who saved me. You showed me that there’s more to this world than monsters and men, that those knights in shiny armor really do exist!

“My mom said it’s all an act—she said it’s the sort of masquerade that powerful people like yourself put on, so that naïve little girls like me

    As Faye continued to reach her hand towards Zayn’s face, the cogs in his mind were working at their fastest pace. It was only two seconds, yet he probably used twenty-minutes worth of his brain’s capacity.He did want to stop her. Unmasking himself was a huge deal—he did not plan on revealing himself to her tonight at all.It was Faye’s sudden love confession that sucker-punched him. It made a mess of his steps and foiled his plans.Within those two seconds, he had thought of many, many things. However, whether he could stop Faye was not the issue; it was her reaction.Honestly, Zayn had no idea. Faye might have sworn her love for the chairman, but how different would it be when she discovered that it was Zayn all along? Would she still love him? Or would things take a turn for the worse and spiral in the opposite direction?So many unknowns. The future was ineffable.In the end, he chose to come clean. He chose not to stop her.He could feel her hand trembling lightly against h

    He forced a smile anyways. “Fifi, I know that this is my fault. I shouldn’t have kept it from you…”“Shut up!” Faye cut him off curtly. “Zayn Larson, do you think it’s fun fooling me like this? Is this your revenge for my betrayal? By impersonating the chairman of Violet Vision to disgust me and watch me make a fool of myself?!”As Faye threw those accusations, she teared up. She did not feel any less upset than Zayn currently was.“Impersonate?” Zayn was stunned. How? Should he have continued lying and hiding the truth from her? Swiftly, he caught up with the situation. Faye actually refused to believe that he was the chairman of Violet Vision? What the heck?!“Fifi, you’ve got it wrong. I’m not impersonating the chairman of Violet Vision. I am the chairman of Violet Vision! I can call Sean right now if you don’t believe me. He can prove my identity!” Zayn hurriedly explained.Another idea struck him and he continued, “Or you can go to Violet Vision with me tomorrow. I can prove

    Zayn kept quiet. It was when Faye sat on his lap and began taking off her clothes that he grabbed her hands and spoke darkly, “Enough!”Faye ignored him, flinging his hands away. She pulled her buttons loose in an instant. She gave up on herself completely, abandoning any care and regard for herself to the wind.Zayn felt his heart ache worse than it had just now as he watched her in her current state. It had suddenly dawned on him—she didn’t love him, in fact, she hated him. It hurt so badly…‘Despair is the greatest sorrow.’ That was an accurate depiction of what Zayn was feeling right now.“I’m sorry.” The words came out hoarsely from Zayn’s mouth.Faye paused momentarily. Guilt crept up her expression, though it flickered away promptly after. She resumed what she had been doing.Despite her hot figure, there was not an ounce of lust from Zayn because her reaction only deepened the wound in his heart.“You’re right. I impersonated Violet Vision’s chairman.” Zayn’s tone was so

    “I’m not used to getting frisky in the car. I’ll take care of you when we go back!” Zayn gritted through his teeth and started the car, flooring the gas and making the car at light speed. It quickened Faye’s heartbeat and drained the color from her face.She clenched her jaw, however, trying her best not to show her panic. The last thing she wanted was for Zayn to look down on her right now! Mentally, she had completely blacklisted him, putting him with people like William, Ethan, Moses, and Nathan.In the past, she did not love Zayn at all. She made things difficult for him, but she still considered him as family. However, it was different now. She despised him to the extreme. When Faye recalled how deeply in love she had been in front of him and how she had told him all of that, she felt like puking! Her genuine feelings had gone down the drain!In spite of that, she ceased her struggling after what had happened. Maybe her stars were not aligned with the chairman’s after all. She

    Shocked, Waine displayed the same skepticism. Was there something wrong with his daughter? Why was she letting Zayn touch her in such an intimate manner? During the four years that they had been married, the pair of them never had any intimate exchanges.Faye was actually feeling awful. She was even a little bewildered. Why was she being like this? It was all Zayn’s fault. He was nothing but a bother!“Yeah, I’m out of my mind. Is there a problem with me being out of my mind?” Faye vented on Ruby.“Hey, don’t speak to me like that,” Ruby glared and chided, her anger flaring up.Faye blinked and turned to Zayn. “Darling, someone’s bullying me!”She was acting coy. Her coquetry astounded her parents, but what Zayn did next baffled them even more.Zayn’s face instantly contorted to convey his rage as he scolded Ruby with a glare, “Why are you speaking like that to my wife? What kind of mother are you? Aren’t you happy that Fifi and I are being so affectionate?”Ruby’s eyes widened

    When she got to the door, Zayn teased her, “Why don’t we shower together?”“Dream on!” Faye scoffed and locked the door as soon as she slammed it shut.Under the spray of warm water, her mind gradually cleared. She was starting to slightly regret it. Was she really going to sleep with Zayn?The silhouette of Violet Vision’s chairman flashed in her mind. Honestly, she still wanted to lose her virginity to him. Her confession tonight had been stolen by Zayn, but she would never forget her state of mind when she was professing her feelings. It felt like she had the world in her hands!Sigh! Faye exhaled a long breath. Slowly, she wiped away the messy garble of thoughts plaguing her mind. She had no choice now. Maybe it was the destiny that she had to submit to.She thought that she would keep her chastity after escaping Ethan, Moses, Nathan, and William. In the end, she was losing it to Zayn. What irony!She washed every inch of herself to be unprecedentedly clean. It took her a goo

    For no apparent reason, Faye felt a terrible unpleasantness eat away at her heart when she saw the divorce papers. She felt as if something heavy was weighing down her chest!It was true that she had considered getting a divorce with Zayn more than ten times. She was the one who picked up the divorce papers from the lawyer. She had signed the papers, but Zayn did not. Now, she was supposed to be delighted that Zayn had given in to signing the papers. Alas, not an ounce of happiness could be found in her heart! On the contrary, she felt as if something was forcefully stripped out of it. It made her feel incomparably empty and dejected!For a moment, she could even feel the air around her thinning—she could not catch a breath!She clutched her chest tightly. It was a struggle trying to take in the air around her. She could only fill her lungs under strenuous effort.Why was this happening to her?Why?Did she not hope for this?Zayn had agreed to get a divorce with her before sh

    She felt disheartened once again. Moreover, she was so thoroughly disheartened that she could not pull herself together anymore. So, where did Zayn go then?In reality, Zayn had not gone very far. He took a seat at a nearby park. He had been gazing at the surface of a lake absentmindedly for quite some time. When Faye did not come looking for him, he felt rather relieved. It meant that his departure meant something—he had done something good at the very least and put Faye out of her misery. Speaking of which, it was a rather intriguing thing, really. He had married into the Carter family so that he could lay low to avoid being killed by the Larsons. Now that the tables had been turned, he no longer needed to lay dormant. He did not need to keep his identity as the Carters’ deadbeat son-in-law anymore. From a different perspective, it was not only an exoneration for Faye but for him as well.Now that all the pieces had been put back together, all was well. Was it not?Neverth

    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.

    “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.
