last update Last Updated: 2021-03-29 16:00:29
Suddenly, a voice could be heard saying, “What’s going on? Why are there so many people standing here?”

A middle-aged man dressed in a suit walked over with a frown. The faces of the teller and the two security guards conveyed their regard for him. The teller had even submissively stepped forward to welcome his arrival. “Manager, sir, you came just in time. There’s someone here who’s deliberately making trouble. He has a forged card, but he insists that it’s a VVIP card. What a joke! Who doesn’t know that our bank has only ever issued VIP cards? How can there be such nonsense as a VVIP card?”

Little did she realize that the manager’s demeanor would change drastically upon hearing her words. “A VVIP card?”

“That’s right! Sir, it’s this man who is being a nuisance and affecting the normal operations of our bank. I’ll have the security guards escort him out.” She did not notice the unusual shift in the manager’s expression. She continued to order the security guards in a presumptuous manner, “Why are both of you just standing there?! Quickly, take this madman out!”

Zayn’s countenance remained unaffected as he raised the card in his hand and said to the manager, “Is this how your bank treats your VVIP customers?”

The manager’s face changed again as soon as he got a clear view of the VVIP card in Zayn’s hand. He panicked and hastily yelled, “Stop! Are you trying to lose your jobs?! All of you must be blind. He is one of our bank’s VVIP customers!!”

What?

Upon hearing that, everyone was stunned and could not react to the situation immediately.

They watched as the manager jogged over to Zayn and bowed to him respectfully. The manager spoke in an impeccably humble manner, “It's our pleasure to serve you, sir. Please accept my most sincere apologies. I hope you can forgive our momentary lapse in judgment and for not identifying you at first sight. May I inquire as to which type of service you need from us today? For our most valued customers, we have an exclusive VIP channel arranged specifically to provide you with service of the highest quality and fastest speed.”

The shock had left Ethan dumbstruck. What on earth was going on?

The bank was one of the largest in the country and the owners of many public corporations trusted it with their savings. It was a very large-scale bank, so the manager was a man of impressive status as well. Despite all that, he was actually treating the worthless Zayn with such respect?

Ethan wondered if he was hallucinating!

It was not just him. The rest of the surrounding crowd also found the whole thing unbelievable.

The teller with the despicable attitude felt that her legs were trembling and her head was going numb out of fear. She had offended a highly valued VVIP customer, so her job was on the line!

Zayn nodded and then smiled at Ethan, saying, “Ethan, it’s time for you to make good on your promise. Kneel down. I’m still waiting.”

Ethan had a most unpleasant glower. He could not believe this was real, so he said to the manager with a darkened visage, “This has to be fake. Why haven’t I heard about your bank’s VVIP program?”

The manager replied, “Our bank has always had a VVIP program. The requirements to join are very high and it is provided to a specific crowd, so the vast majority are unaware of the program. Mr. Larson here is genuinely a VVIP customer of our bank.”

Upon hearing the manager’s confirmation, Ethan felt nauseated, as if he had just swallowed a mouthful of sewage!

Zayn felt especially pleased when he saw the look on Ethan’s face. He asked, “Ethan, it was you who proposed the bet. You’re not going to back out now, are you?”

The rest of the crowd was so eager to watch his discomfort that even the two men who came with Ethan began to silently distance themselves from him.

Ethan started to panic. It was impossible for him to kneel and address Zayn as daddy because he was a man who placed a lot of value on his reputation.

He quickly came up with the excuse that Zayn’s VVIP card was picked up from the streets. He then exited the bank while cursing aloud.

Zayn was not upset because he predicted that Ethan would not dare to follow through. It was already a very gratifying experience for him just seeing Ethan defeated. After that, it was time for him to focus on the real business of inquiring about the amount of money in the card.

He entered the exclusive VVIP reception area with special ATMs designed to provide balance-checking services. They used the most advanced technology in the world to ensure hackers could never infiltrate their system and guarantee the safety of their VVIP customers’ properties.

Zayn keyed in his password. It did not take long before he saw the balance in his card and his heart began to race beyond his control!

Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, millions…

There was a total of over seven billion dollars!

He felt that he was getting light-headed upon seeing the series of numbers. His entire body was shaking with glee. Soon enough, he began to laugh wildly.

He had suffered for so many years and now it was finally time for him to free himself from all that misery. Seven billion dollars was enough to last him ten lifetimes.

Zayn spent three full minutes calming himself. He then transferred three million dollars to his other normal bank card. He did this to avoid exposing his identity and not have Faye think of him as a rich playboy.

He was very eager to see Faye’s face when he took out three million dollars to help her get out of the family’s dilemma. It would certainly be splendid! He felt excited just by thinking about it.

Zayn composed himself after coming out from the bank and went straight home.

Zayn was a nostalgic man. Even if he was a billionaire now, he could not bear to throw away the Segway electric scooter. After all, it had been with him for four years. He pushed it to a nearby convenience store and charged its battery for an hour before he rode home.

When he almost reached the Carters’ housing estate, Faye happened to be at the turning driving home in a Volkswagen. The brakes on his scooter did not work well, so he could not stop in time. He crashed into the Volkswagen's rear bumper and the impact chipped off some of the paint. Zayn hastily apologized, “I’m sorry, honey. I didn’t do it on purpose. The brakes on this electric scooter are a little loose.”

Faye was filled with repressed anger after coming back from the company. The agitation caused by Zayn’s reckless behavior unleashed her fury. “Zayn, can you do anything right?! At your age, other men are driving Mercedes-Benz or BMW cars already! I’m not asking you to be as outstanding as them, but you need to have something to show for it. You have to get a Chevrolet at the very least! You’re still riding this ragged electric scooter after being married for four years! I’ve had enough of you!”

Zayn’s hands and legs went cold. He felt as if he was suffocating after being scolded by her. Nevertheless, he still attempted to force a smile and apologized, “Honey, I don’t need to ride anymore…”

Faye interrupted, “That’s enough! I don’t want to listen to your nonsensical chattering anymore! I’m already thoroughly disappointed by you and you can stop calling me honey from now on! I don’t have a useless husband like you!”

With that, she slammed on the accelerator and drove the car into the housing estate.

Zayn was left behind.

He stood on the same spot with a stiff expression for a while before he managed to recover from the shock. He pushed through the dejection he felt in his heart and kept telling himself Faye was only venting her emotions because she was in a bad mood. Now that he was rich, he would be able to provide for Faye and make her so happy that she would fall in love with him.

He convinced himself of this as he rode on his scooter with its crumpled front.

When Zayn got there, Faye walked out of the bathroom and saw him. She appeared to grow even colder and more disgusted by the sight of him.

Zayn inhaled a deep breath and steeled himself. He walked over to Faye and forced a smile before saying, “Fifi, it was my fault earlier and I’m sorry. Please don’t be angry.”

Rather than replying to him, Faye turned away.

Zayn’s posture was so lowly, he was akin to dust. He walked over to Faye’s side and said in his gentlest voice, “You must be hungry, right? What would you like to have? I’ll cook for you.”

Faye put down her phone, stared at him, and said something that made Zayn tremble, “I want a divorce, Zayn. I’m going to go with Mr. Wilson in two more days.”

    When Faye made the statement, her face filled with sorrow, helplessness, and self-mockery. Zayn felt his heart twisting painfully. He held Faye’s hand and said, “Fifi, there’s no need for you to go with Mr. Wilson. I can protect you now!”Faye sneered twice. “How are you supposed to protect me? Is it by just saying so or with the three million dollars you’re going to give?”Zayn burned with excitement as he took out a bank card from his pocket. “I genuinely can provide you with three million dollars! Fifi, there are three million dollars on this card of mine. I’m really capable of protecting you!”It appeared that Faye did not share his excitement in the slightest. Her expression turned even colder while her eyes grew more disgusted. “Zayn, you keep changing the way I look at you over and over again, and you’re always making it harder for me to put up with you!”“Fifi, I’m not lying to you. There truly are three million dollars on the card. You can follow me to the bank and check

    Faye’s expression changed drastically at once. She was enraged and cursed Zayn for being a scoundrel. Had nobody else been there, she would have given him a hard slap!“See? Even your husband agrees. No point trying to fight it. Let’s go. We’re going to pick out some jewelry as besties. What a coincidence that I spotted a diamond necklace recently. It’s quite cheap at only about 15,000 dollars.” Ivanna beamed broadly. Zayn had wanted to get Faye some jewelry for some time. He had never given her a proper gift during their four years of marriage. Now that he had money and this opportunity had presented itself, he would definitely not let it pass. Moreover, he had a bit of an idea. He hoped that he could use his sincerity to redeem their marriage. Faye was close to tears, but she was helpless before Ivanna’s unrestrained enthusiasm. There was nothing she could do to get away, so she had to follow Ivanna into the jewelry store. She heaved a sigh thinking about how Zayn was truly such

    The saleswoman interrupted him by saying, “I’m sorry, sir. Your payment didn’t go through.”“What?” Daryl was stunned once again. If his payment did not go through, then the one that did was...He swiftly turned to Zayn!Impossible. There was no way it could be him. How could that tramp possibly afford to pay 300,000 dollars?The saleswoman continued to say, “The successful payment is Mr. Larson’s. Mr. Lee, your payment failed because of inadequate funds in your bank card.”Upon hearing the saleswoman’s remarks, everyone was dumbfounded. They gazed at Zayn in astonishment. “That’s impossible!” Ivanna immediately yelled out sharply and said, “You must have made a mistake. He can’t even hold a job. How could he ever have 300,000 dollars on his card?”The saleswoman remained smiling and said, “I didn’t make a mistake. It’s true that Mr. Larson made a successful payment. We have the payment record here.”Next, she printed the receipt and handed it to Zayn. She said respectfully, “

    Zayn was smiling, but his face was more contorted than if he had been crying. The entire scene was ghastly quiet and the spectators were stunned. What was happening?Many people sensed the hurt Zayn felt in his heart at that moment, and they were sympathetic toward him. Conversely, Faye was just as cold as before. In fact, she assumed Zayn was putting on an act, so she was even more disgusted by him. “Don’t worry. I won’t ever be saddened by you for the rest of my life!”Zayn lowered his head and found himself shedding tears uncontrollably. Faye sneered without showing the slightest sympathy. Her final words were, “I’ll be waiting for you at the divorce attorney’s office.” She spoke coldly and quickly left, stomping away in her heels. After a while, the salesperson asked cautiously, “Mr. Larson, would you like to continue with the purchase?”She dared not speak louder as if it might shatter Zayn. The feeling that Zayn exuded was that of extremely fragile glass that would break

    He began to regret coming there. He would not have done so if he had known that Thomas had offended the Larsons. Noticing his bewilderment, Faye clenched her teeth and said, “Ethan, even you can't figure out a way to save my brother, can you?”“Yes, Ethan, you’re so resourceful, but you can’t save Tommy?” Ruby asked anxiously. Waine heaved a sigh and said sorrowfully, “The Larsons are the first family of Waltz City with influence beyond comparison. Let’s not trouble Ethan anymore. A son's bad behavior is due to his father's negligence. It’s my fault for not raising Tommy well. Now that he’s in trouble, it’s my burden to bear. I’m going to pay a visit to the Larsons and offer my apologies. I’ll wait outside and apologize in hope that my actions will move them!”An idea came into Ethan’s mind. He smacked his thigh and said, “Don’t worry, Fifi, Mr. Carter, Mrs. Carter. I won’t allow myself to stand aside and do nothing! I still have a certain status in Waltz City, if I say so myself

    It was true that Adrian was a Larson, but he was the bastard son of a mistress. He did not have much authority in the family, and his share of the annual profits was also far less than the sons born to legitimate wives. On the other hand, Zayn was a son born of a legal wife, so he was a true heir to the Larsons!Before Zayn was kicked out of the Larson family, Adrian had been of a lower status and he would treat Zayn respectfully, never doing anything above his station. More specifically, Adrian would never take a seat when Zayn was standing, and when Zayn was seated, Adrian would never lie down. Anything else would have been seen as disrespectful!Technically, Zayn had been kicked out of the Larson family and lost his status, so Adrian did not need to defer to him anymore. However, Adrian had to respect Zayn even more now! It was because Zayn’s innocence had been proven, so he would return to the Larsons sooner or later. Most importantly, his grandfather transferred 70 percent of hi

    “That’s my duty as a close friend of Fifi’s after all. When she’s in trouble, I can’t be cowardly trying to hide just to save myself, right? Hah-hah,” said Ethan in an eccentric manner while casting a telling glance at Zayn, openly mocking him. Zayn immediately furrowed his brows upon hearing that. Ethan had no shame. Did Thomas being saved have anything to do with him?“Ethan, that whole thing had nothing to do with you, did it?” Zayn could not refrain himself from saying. Ethan immediately burst out laughing aloud. “Hah-hah, could it be that it had nothing to do with me but had something to do with you? Could it be that Adrian was not showing respect to me but you, Zayn? That’s a huge joke!”Ruby kicked Zayn from behind and yelled, “Shut up Zayn, you imbecile! It was fine that you cravenly clung to life and hid at the side when Tommy was in trouble. Now that Tommy was saved by Ethan, how dare you still make bitter remarks? You’re a shameless assh*le!”Zayn almost fell from the

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Then, the joyous smile was frozen on her face for eternity…Zayn’s body stiffened as well.

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.

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.
