Faye and Zayn had been married for so long, yet she had never seen Zayn assume that awful expression before. No, she had never even seen anyone with such an expression before! If she could describe his expression in one word, it would be ‘devastated.’When she saw Zayn’s expression, she felt as if her heart had been stabbed with a needle ferociously. It hurt so much that she wanted to cry. Before she even realized, tears were flowing down her face. Her response was out of her control.She had no idea what had happened to Zayn, though she knew that Zayn was not a fragile man. Even when he was humiliated immensely in the past, he had never been as dispirited as he was now. In other words, Zayn must have experienced something so scarring that he had spiralled into complete and utter despair.As a result, she opened the door. She got out of the car and charged towards Zayn without the slightest shred of hesitation. “Madam!”Her secretary gasped aloud. It was raining so heavily that
It was awkward.It was not all that surprising, considering the fact that it was the first time that they were together, with no one else in the room, since their divorce.After his shower, Zayn had recovered much of his spirit. At the very least, he did not look as lost and in shambles as he was just moments ago. It took a lot to reduce a man of his fortitude into such a dolorous mess, but it was impossibly appalling news that drove him to the edge.Faye, on the other hand, had a weaker constitution. Despite the soothing, warm bath that she took, she still managed to catch a cold from the ordeal, releasing a salvo of rapid-fire sneeze until the tip of her nose was red all over. She looked pretty terrible.“A-choo!” She sneezed again. Zayn had been standing in front of her, so the snot splattered all over his face—a feat that greatly embarrassed her. “God, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to!”“It’s alright,” Zayn replied, shaking his head before heading to the bathroom to wash his face.
“Yea. You’re right.” Faye nodded before adding, “Thanks.”Zayn smiled slightly and stepped out of the door without another word.It was just her, alone in the room, standing motionlessly for a long while. She sighed dejectedly. Why was she brooding now? She could not tell.Or rather, she did not have the courage to think it through.It took her two more minutes before she remembered just how many things she had wanted to ask Zayn—his real identity, why he seemed so lost and listless, why he looked like all of his hopes had abandoned him. However, when it was time to ask, she balked in confusion. In the end, nothing came out of it.The downpour outside saw no sign of abating. Zayn ditched his plans to leave and decided to stay the night at the hotel. It was a night where sleep evaded him until midnight rolled around. All he could think of was what happened throughout the day as he slowly phased from disbelieving shock to acceptance.There was one thing he knew for certain. Neither
Zayn called out tentatively as soon as the man’s familiar silhouette entered his line of sight, “Odd Bob? Is that you?”The man immediately responded, turning around and meeting Zayn’s eyes. After a brief moment of bewilderment, he cried out in joyous surprise, “Zayn!”He was a man of darker complexion and a rather plump physique, giving him an air of homely honesty. He was wearing a dirty uniform seemingly designed for medieval footmen. Quickly, he approached Zayn with an earnest, happy smile before giving a hardy punch to Zayn’s chest, laughing, “So it was you! God, it’s been so long, squirt! And here I thought you’ve forgotten all about your bro over here!”Sean and a few other higher-ups in the company had been following Zayn, and so when they saw what the man had done, they narrowed their eyes. Anger was starting to color their faces, but before anyone could come and teach Odd Bob a “lesson”, Zayn raised his hand and stopped them with a glare.Luckily, Odd Bob was wiping away
Zayn thought for a moment before replying, “I did.”“What?”“Real estate agent.”“Whaaaa?!” Odd Bob turned his hands up in a hard, dismissive wave before leaping to his feet. “You won’t go far with that job! Business for that sector isn’t all that great right now. You know what, I think you should become an extra like me! Work a little elbow grease, and you could earn at least fifteen dollars to thirty dollars a day, so it’s not too bad at all. Besides, you’ve got the looks. If you’re lucky I bet it will take you just three to five years before you climb the ladder and secure yourself a starring role! Oh, by then, you’ll be hella famous!”Zayn froze. He was about to decline the offer, saying, “Wait, but—"Odd Bob had already sprung into action. “Ah, no buts! I’ve made a decision, and that’s final. For the record, Old Odd Bob’s pretty hot here. I can get you in with just a good word. Watch me!”Just like that, the man dashed away before Zayn even had the chance to say anything.U
Zayn’s eyes were quick to meet the director’s gaze and felt his heart skip a beat. Was his identity going to be exposed right now?As one of Violet Vision’s in-house directors, this particular director had seen Zayn before. It would not be impossible if the man managed to recognize him because of that short meeting in the past.If Zayn’s real identity had been exposed right now… well, Odd Bob would likely be so taken aback that he would be at a loss of what to say, right?Honestly, Zayn was a little hard-pressed about his identity. The two of them started out in the same hard spot—maligned sons-in-law, broke, and inhumanely mistreated by their in-laws. Odd Bob had taken up the role as his unofficial big brother simply because he was a few years older than Zayn, and from then on, Odd Bob had been taking care of him in any way he could.Things changed, though. Zayn’s life had taken a hard turn, and after several windfalls later, he was a billionaire chairman while Odd Bob remained a
”Good.” The director’s posture seemed to radiate arrogance. It was as though he was unwilling to speak with Zayn, whom he thought held a lowly status in society. Instead, he turned around and immediately said to Bobby, “He’s one of yours, so I’ll leave it to you to explain the rules of the set to him. Make sure he doesn’t cause any trouble, understand?”“Understood, I got it!” Bobby hurriedly nodded his head as his expression was pleasantly surprised and filled with excitement. In fact, he seemed to be even happier than Zayn.Next, Bobby hurriedly explained the rules of being an extra to Zayn three times because he was afraid that Zayn would not be able to remember them and end up making a mistake. “Remember now, as extras, we must remember the rules and not make any mistakes at all. Otherwise, it’s going to be hard for us to get another job once our reputation is tarnished.”Zayn shrugged slightly helplessly as he said, “I got it, Odd Bob. Don’t worry. I’ll make sure I follow the r
Naturally, Zayn noticed what Bobby was thinking about and merely revealed a calm smile without explaining anything. After all, at Zayn’s level, the less one would want to explain themselves.Adam walked towards the set rather boastfully and did not seem to even pay any attention to anyone as though everyone else was beneath him. When he stood before the director, he lazily drawled, “Director, everyone’s here now, aren’t they? I suppose we can start filming now, hmm?”Even the director, who seemed the most domineering on set, became respectful when he was talking to Adam and even humbled himself a lot as he hurriedly said, “Yes, everyone’s here, so we can start filming anytime.”“Alright.” Adam calmly nodded his head and said, “It’s good that everyone’s here. At least, I don’t have to wait.”Although his words infuriated many, none of them had the courage to refute him. Then, the director said, “Well, let’s begin filming now, Adam. We’ve got quite a difficult mission ahead of us tod
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
