After he had fallen asleep, the patrons of the bar had gotten up one by one to bow in front of Zayn, who was still sprawled across the couch in a deep sleep. Then, they sprang into action. One went to close the door, one put a blanket over Zayn, and one made a phone call, “Hello, Boss. I’m pleased to inform you that the Lord is back.”The bar was closed in less than ten minutes. The gleaming neon lights were dimmed and the middle-aged man who had been singing got off the stage. He was careful as he moved around as he was scared of waking Zayn up, even if it was seemingly impossible. Anyone who drank a Sapphire Phantom would be out cold for a while—they would not wake up even if you set up an entire display of fireworks next to them. All of them held the notion in their head, but they still ensured that they were gentle and deliberate as they moved along. It was a token of their for Zayn.Approximately half an hour later, a tall woman wearing a trench coat entered the bar. She had an
The pleasant imagery was shattered as if it were a mirror, before crumbling into fine dust. He watched as his grandfather fell to a coma, and how everyone suspected him as the miscreant behind it. No matter how much he tried to explain himself; no matter how much he struggled or begged, no one believed him. He kneeled before everyone, beaten up and bruised as they cursed at him as if he were an orphan. He was ultimately disowned by the Larson family, homeless and unwanted.He married into the Carter family to avoid Larsons’ ruthlessness. He became a married man who hid himself from the world as he prepared for a greater comeback.He thought of leaving Waltz City but Zidane would not agree to it. Zidane was aware of his capabilities. He would only be at peace if the Larsons continued to keep an eye on Zayn.It was fortunate that his grandfather regained his consciousness before his demise. He cleared Zayn’s name of its shame and even left all of his assets to Zayn.The scene transit
Zayn pulled up the roller shutter before leaving the bar. Warm sunlight cheerfully welcomed his arrival back into sentience.The woman watched him leave as she thought of going after him several times. However, she managed to hold herself back in the end. She knew what Zayn was like. Any attempt to convince him into changing his decision was futile—it would do nothing but annoy him even more. Sighing dejectedly, she called her men back to the bar.Having slept for 18 hours, Zayn was a new, refreshed man who was ready to take on the world. He was never the type to wallow in self-pity. Divorcing Faye was agonizing, but it took more than that to knock him down and keep him there forever.Now that he had gotten some sleep and recovered, it was time to continue on with life. There were way too many things waiting for Zayn. Leaving Night 1998, he went to work at Violet Vision straightaway. It was like everything had gone back on track, except that Faye was no longer here with him.One wa
“William’s a nice kid… He’s sensible and refined—he’s capable too. What matters is that his family background matches ours. He has a pretty decent personality. You’ll be happy if you marry him,” Rachel listed patiently.Alexandra snapped back in disdain, “Bullsh*t! Zayn said that William’s a scumbag. He’s a playboy. Who knows how many women he’s been toying with out of dodge? He just does a good job at hiding it, and all of you have no idea! If I marry him, my life will be a living hell. My life would be over”Victor and Rachel met each other’s eyes once more before the latter asked, “Alexandra, tell us; what does this Zayn character mean to you?”Alexandra rolled her eyes and bit back, “Please, mom. Stop pretending! Uncle Franklin must’ve told you guys everything!”“Ay, you brat. Franklin’s your uncle. How could you talk back to him like that?” Victor scowled.“He was the one being unreasonable. You guys didn’t see how aggressive he was that night. If Zayn didn’t come to my rescu
He was William’s father, Tony Brown, who was quite well known in the business sphere. He was worth over 300 billion dollars and was considered a symbol of wealth. Whether it was for his status, tactics or power, he was a force to be reckoned with.William was Tony’s only son, which meant that he was obligated to spoil him from birth. He had indulged and coddled him to the best of his abilities, so when his precious son had been beaten to the brink of death, it sparked an unbelievable surge of rage inside of him! He was furious when he heard the news, but now that he had seen the damage with his own two eyes, he had gone completely berserk!It made sense. Zayn’s kick was powerful, and the rock that was sent flying into William’s back was as big as a fist. The trauma was akin to a gunshot! William was lucky to have not died then and there.As he had just been operated on, William was currently wrapped up like a mummy. His pulse was weak, like a flickering candle in the wind—it could b
The Smiths were rather influential in Waltz City. The Browns would be benefiting immensely from the engagement. If the engagement failed, the Browns would suffer a huge loss. As a result, they had to proceed with the engagement ceremony no matter what.Tony thought it over for a moment before he said in a deep voice, “It's not an issue. Your marriage with Alexandra is final, and the engagement ceremony shall be fulfilled as planned. Moreover, you’re not severely injured, so you’ll be able to walk after recuperating for a while more. You’ll be able to partake in the ceremony by then. A simple ceremony for formalities will do.”William nodded in agreement. Next, the father and son brainstormed for an idea on how to get back at Zayn after the engagement ceremony. They wanted to annihilate Zayn, so much so that they wanted nothing more than to see him dead.Over on Nathan’s side, he was very anxious as well. He met up with Mr. Hyde again to catch up with him, but his true goal was to
She had been sulking from her heavy dispiritedness mere moments ago. As soon as she received Zayn’s call, she had become a completely different person. She was cheering in delight. Her overly-excited reaction startled Victor and Rachel. Victor pulled a long face as she scolded her, “Alexandra! What are you doing? It’s improper for a girl to shout and scuffle!”As a woman herself, Rachel saw something else. She could tell that her daughter was elated over Zayn’s call. She immediately realized that her daughter had truly fallen in love with Zayn. As a result, she tugged at Victor and threw him a meaningful glance so Victor would not scold Alexandra anymore. Victor realized it too from Rachel’s gaze. He looked like he was overwhelmed with emotion. As a father, Alexandra was his only daughter so he cherished her the most. His daughter’s marriage was more important to him than his career. Otherwise, he would have never searched for a good son-in-law like William for Alexandra. Howeve
After a moment of hesitation, Zayn sighed, “Alright, alright, this’ll be the last time. I’m not becoming your shield again. I’m fine as long as you won’t be embarrassed when my identity’s exposed.”Alexandra cheered and made a victory sign. “Thank you, Zayn! You’re the best!”Zayn chuckled wryly. “Sure, sure, you can stop sucking up to me. Let me know the address and time. I’ll be there tomorrow.”After Alexandra informed him of the details, he hung up the phone and started rubbing his throbbing temples. Alexandra was creating endless trouble for him.He had just told Sean that he would not be attending the engagement party in question. He wondered how Sean would think of him when he saw him tomorrow—not that it mattered. He would not get to maintain his low profile for very long now.Out of the blue, he wondered if Faye would be there tomorrow for the engagement party. She was Neotech’s chairman now, and she had the highest status out of all the Carters. If Faye attended the part
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
