William became even more excited at the thought of that and paced even quicker. His once weakened body had now returned to being normal. Furthermore, everyone had literally disappeared in his eyes, leaving only Alexandra who was in front of him.Finally, he arrived before her as he revealed a smile he thought portrayed his handsomeness and deep emotions the most. “Alexandra, I’m sorry for being late. You look really, really beautiful today.”Undeniably, William was actually very handsome as he was dressed in his white suit, making him look taller with a different temperament than usual. Based on his appearance, he did really seem to be a good match for Alexandra. They appeared to be a really compatible couple.However, it was a pity that Alexandra was not attracted to him at all and did not even have any good impression of him for that matter. Therefore, there was not a trace of a smile on her face as she coldly said, “Are you saying that I haven’t been pretty other than today then?
William forced himself to crack into a smile. He was a very egoistic person, hence regardless of whether Alexandra was joking or not, her previous sentence caused him to lose face. “It’s fine, it’s fine. I know that Alexandra loves to joke around. So, since I’m going to be marrying her, of course, I’m going to have to be more forgiving of her. How could I possibly take it to heart?”However, when William said, “Take it to heart,” he did not say it convincingly enough and revealed the unhappiness he had within. Nevertheless, there was nothing that Victor could say to refute since it was his daughter who was wrong in the first place. Therefore, he could only force himself to smile and comment no further. However, Alexandra immediately said something to make the scene even more awkward than it already was!“Who says that I was joking? I’m serious,” she said with a straight face. Then, she told Victor, “Daddy, haven’t I told you that I’ve already got a boyfriend? Plus, he’s even here
”I demand an explanation, Victor!”Tony’s features were extremely twisted as he shot Victor a death stare, seeming like he intended to blow his top at any moment.William also had a ferocious expression on his face as his cast turned completely red. Anyone would be able to see that he was already on the verge of a breakdown and was a literal barrel of dynamite that would explode at the slightest spark.Even Victor, who had experienced all sorts of tough situations before, could not help but feel his head itch as he felt anxious momentarily. However, there was nothing that he could do to turn the situation around since they were in the wrong in the first place. It was already a marriage that had been decided beforehand, yet Alexandra had just declared that she had a boyfriend. Therefore, if this did not mean that William had been cheated on, then it would be a tight slap on the Smiths’ faces!‘Honestly, I would’ve never thought that Alexandra would be so naughty and disobedient. How
“What do you mean, Dad? Since when have I ever been a difficult child to mind? Look, this is my marriage. Can’t I make a decision on something that will affect the rest of my entire life?” Alexandra retorted as a lump ballooned in her throat. Her eyes darted in the direction where Zayn was, hopeful that he would rise up and stand on her side when she needed him the most.To her horror, Zayn was gone though she had no idea where to.‘B-b-but…! Where’s Zayn? He was here just a moment ago! How could he be gone now?’ Her mind flailed from the disappearance and she panicked. She started looking around in earnest, hoping that she could locate the man, but he might as well have faded into thin air, never to be seen again.How could this have happened? Had Zayn abandoned her and skedaddled on his own?Alexandra’s first instinct was to leap off the stage and look for him. If he had vanished, she would be left hard-pressed on what to do right now.She did not know that unbeknownst to hersel
The crowd’s eyes were instantly trained at the direction Alexandra cast.Victor could feel his hair standing on its end as he came to grips with the fact that things had gone out of his control. Never in his storied life had he expected his darling, docile little daughter, whose naughtiest shenanigans used to be disguising herself as a boy for a romp, to be such a reckless rebel. Tonight was supposed to be the engagement party held jointly by the Smiths and the Browns! They had invited so many members of high society as witnesses, but all they managed to witness was this fiasco!How could the Smiths’ reputation ever recover from this? In fact, Victor could already imagine just how irreparable the family’s name would become after tonight—and how bloody and bitter the Browns’ resentment was going to be.Had he known that this was going to happen, Victor would have rather canceled this sorry catastrophe of an engagement.There was, of course, a possible way to rescue the Smiths’ nosed
The question scrapped against the air so abruptly that, while it was not loud, it pounded and reverberated across the hall.Everyone heard it. All at once, wandering eyes pooled over the source of the voice where a young man in a suit stood.His first button was undone and his tie was absent—a combination of fashion choices that made him appear charmingly cavalier and nonconformist. He had eschewed styling his hair, contrasting everyone else in the room, and let his mane assume its natural form. He did not bear the most handsome features in the room, but he had something else to him—an air of alternative duende—that made it hard to tear one’s attention away from him.Who else could this be other than Zayn Larson?Hearing him speaking up made Gordon, who stood near him, gawk in nonplussed shock. Never in his imagination had he ever predicted Alexandra’s boyfriend to be him!The familiarity in his voice arrested every muscle in Alexandra’s face. She turned to find Zayn, and the tear
The corner of Victor’s lips jolted uncontrollably.In his mind, the poor man was howling in despair. How was he supposed to answer this? This engagement party had turned into a joke!“It was you, Zayn Larson! It was you all along!” A shout, laced with staggering bitterness, rang out nearby. There was malice burning in William’s eyes as he glowered at Zayn with a look of vertigo whose hunger could only be relished by his enemy’s flesh, bones, and fresh, warm blood.Emotions assaulted the man’s veins so violently. They twisted his features beyond recognition while waves of visible tremor rocked him. Not a mote of his famed handsomeness survived; now, he looked like a demon in the flesh who terrorized the onlooking crowd.Zayn was not the least afraid of him. He smiled and remarked, “Oh, it’s me, all right. Gee, William Brown, I didn’t expect you to be so lucky! You actually survived.”Shrill chomping sounds escaped from William as the man gnashed his teeth. Combined with his clenche
Tony was wearing one of his foulest grimaces. It was clear that Victor had hardened his resolve and made a choice, and that was to become enemies with him rather than to explain themselves out of this fiasco.To ask someone like him to just take the loss and scamper away was akin to asking for the impossible, but admittedly, there was no turning back after all was said and done. Far more impossible things had happened, and if he were to throw a fit right now, their unflattering optics would be all on him.One did not occupy his spot as a mogul without the necessary wits—Tony let what had happened simmer in his mind for a second and immediately saw the key to the issue. With a chuckle, he put on a look of benevolence and looked into Victor’s eyes, proclaiming, “You’re your daughter’s precious little Papa above all else, after all, Victor. Tonight will truly live long in my memory.”It was a proclamation clear as day to every attendee: the Smiths and the Browns were now enemies.To t
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
