Skye noticed Roman’s unending gaze and his inability to take his eyes off Faye. She pulled a long face at once and gave Roman a hard pinch. She scolded furiously, “Watch where you’re looking!”

Roman was jolted back to reality from the pain. He jumped to explain himself to Skye, yet he still could not restrain himself from taking in the sight of Faye’s body. He could not resist it—Faye was truly a work of art. As one of the three prettiest women in Waltz City, her beauty was undisputed. It had become even more obvious after she was promoted. Her chairman status added to her beauty exponentially, and that made her appear even more attractive to men.

Roman was considered a rather successful entrepreneur. He had no lack of experiencing mingling with beautiful women. However, he had never mingled with a woman of Faye’s status, so he was quickly enchanted by her feminine charm.

Faye walked over to her mother and said, “Mom, how did you come up with the idea of getting a villa in Barrow C

    There was no need to describe how awful Ruby felt in her heart upon hearing that. However, Faye’s gaze rendered her too fearful to act rashly. However, Skye’s next remark crushed her straightforwardly. “That is of course. Even though Faye’s a chairman, she’s still driving around her old, run-down Volkswagen. She’s nothing compared to my boyfriend Roman. He’s been driving a Bentley forever, heh-heh.”Ruby was infuriated at once. She stepped forward and said aloud, “Why do you have to be so sarcastic huh! Who’s to say that Fifi can’t afford a villa in Barrow Cove? We’re only trying not to hurt your feelings! Since you’ve already made your point, we shall make payment today and get those two villas then!”Stella and Skye were both astounded for a moment. They did not expect that Ruby would be bold enough to stake such a claim at this point. They could not help feeling a little guilty. Could it be that Faye was truly capable of paying over a million dollars for villa yet she was just p

    Instantly, Stella and Skye were stunned for a moment. It was apparent that they did not expect that they would bump into Zayn here. One should know that Barrow Cove was a location for the rich and famous while Zayn, he was no one but a useless deadbeat. At the same time, Faye, Ruby and Waine saw Zayn as well. The atmosphere was becoming slightly awkward. “Zayn?” Stella called out at once, “How did you end up in Barrow Cove as well.”All this time, Stella and her family members looked down upon Zayn very much. Zayn was but the embodiment of a deadbeat and coward in their perception. They despised Zayn deep into their bones. Even after they learned that it was Zayn who placed 15 million dollars of capital injection in Neotech and made Faye into the chair sometime ago, they still despised Zayn because they did not think that Zayn was capable of having so much money. They were certain that it was Faye who latched on to Violet Vision’s chairman and made Violet Vision’s chairman inves

    “Yikes. He’s the deadbeat who married into our family. I told you about him, don’t you remember? He’s embarrassed our family on way too many occasions for years now,” said Skye loudly. She turned around and shot Faye a dirty look.Ruby was furious upon hearing Skye’s insulting remark. She gnashed her teeth in anger. Roman’s eyes were shaded with a tinge of darkness. He met Faye earlier and after learning that Zayn was Faye’s husband, he was immediately filled with hostility towards Zayn. “So it’s him huh, you’re right and he really doesn’t look like much.”“Hah-hah, of course. You should think about this, if he actually had any form of competency, wouldn’t he be doing better for himself?” Skye chuckled in delight. When she was done dissing Zayn, she said pretentiously, “Yikes, Zayn. I’m sorry for being so blunt. I’ve always been a person who speaks my mind, so I hope you won’t take that to heart.”Meanwhile, Stella turned around and said to Ruby, “Waine, Ruby, I thought both of yo

    Instantly, everyone shifted their gaze towards him. Faye made it a point to leave upon hearing that. Her body started trembling ever so slightly out of the blue. It was as if Zayn’s voice struck straight to her heart. Ruby was stunned for a moment. She turned around and saw Zayn walking over with long strides. He cracked into a smile and repeated himself again, “Who’s saying that we can’t afford it? It’s just a villa in Barrow Cove.”Just a villa in Barrow Cove?That statement sounded a little too arrogant, right!Not only Stella and Skye but the rest of the onlookers in the surroundings had an unfavorable impression of Zayn when they heard his statement. They found Zayn to be too arrogant. They could afford to buy villas in Barrow Cove but they still had to take out mortgages on these properties so they definitely could not make a high-sounding statement like ‘just a villa in Barrow Cove’! Moreover, they could see that Zayn was dressed in cheap attire from head to toe and he

    Her words told a different story, one that contradicted the disdainful smile playing on her lips. It was obvious that she did not believe that Zayn had the capability to buy a house and assumed that Zayn was only putting up a front at most. Yes, Zayn had always upheld his image as a deadbeat during the four years of him marrying into the Carter family. He was incapable of accomplishing any success yet he embarrassed the family countless times. His wife Faye’s reputation in Waltz City was constantly really poor because of her deadbeat husband.She refused to believe that Zayn had the ability to hand over so much money to buy a villa in Barrow Cove regardless. Even if he were to take out a mortgage for the villa, he would still need to pay a few hundred thousand dollars up front as well!Stella joined in the conversation immediately as well. She began to make sarcastic remarks at Zayn with a disdainful and despising tone that she did not have any intention to conceal. Ruby swallowe

    “Sure.”Zayn agreed without the slightest tinge of hesitation. His directness astonished Roman for a moment. However, he let out a sneer soon afterward because he assumed that Zayn was only misleading others on purpose. “Let’s not discuss further then and make the payment.” Roman whipped out his bank card as well then he was preparing to make payment and buy the villa with 2.3 million dollars. Zayn smiled and said to Faye, “Which one do you like, we’re just going to take it now.”Faye immediately pulled Zayn to the side and said softly, “Zayn, what the heck are you doing huh. We are totally not planning to buy a villa in Barrow Cove at all!”The smile on Zayn’s face remained unchanged. “We can’t just let Skye and her mother underestimate and condemn you, right? You're the chairman of a company now after all, it would be a shame for anyone else to hear about this, right?”Faye bit her lower lip. “I don’t have the money.”“It’s fine, I do.” Zayn smiled brightly.

    They became even more delighted and excited just thinking about it. Zayn was planning to get the best villa in Barrow Cove anyway, just that he was doing it with some added attention now. It would not affect him for the slightest bit. On the contrary, Zayn found Skye and her family members’ presence rather interesting and he was rather eager to see their expressions later. Zayn had always been acting like a useless good-for-nothing deadbeat when he lived with the Carter family after marrying Faye. He had no lack of experience being bantered by Skye’s family and now that he managed to turn the table successfully, he had the opportunity to let them have a taste of their own medicine. He would never miss this opportunity for anything, of course. Moreover, it also allowed him to hold his head high to Ruby and Waine. Hence, many people followed the realtor to head to Phase 9 to view the houses there.One had no choice but to acknowledge that the villas in Phase 9 of the most presti

    Everyone was struck by how ludicrous—bordering on surreal—it all was. “Transaction complete” for a whopping figure of 6.06 million?!It took a mass of hundreds five full seconds to finally reel back from their bewilderment, evident in a loud, collective sharp inhale of breath.In the end, it took Zayn himself to break the shocked silence. With a faint smile still hanging on his lips, he told the agent, “I’ve signed my name, so please get the papers ready as soon as possible. I’ll be staying here tonight.”Indeed, Zayn had graced all of the contracts with a signature scribbled by a relaxed, confident hand. In response, the hall exploded in furor.“Holy cow!”“I didn’t get it wrong, right? He paid it, in full, right? It’s 6.06 million! That’s more than 6 million! How the hell?!”“I must be dreaming—I gotta be dreaming this whole thing up. This guy looks like a food delivery guy! Where the hell did he get all this money from?!”“You don’t think we’ve been wrong this whole time… tha

    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.
