Jose Rivera swore to God—he had never imagined the man Brock accused of impersonating the chairman would be the genuine article himself!

Looking at that half-smile hanging on Zayn’s lips right now made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles. If one had to ask who he feared the most in the entire world, his answer would, undoubtedly, be Zayn Larson himself.

Jose had lived well into his middle age; his battles in the world of business had been numerous as much as they were fabled. Years spent in the world added experience and knowledge, hardening the man’s natural mettle and grit, and for the most part, he was the kind who would not bend a knee to anyone, let alone fear them.

Zayn, however, was a different thing altogether. Just a glance at him drew out primal fear from the deepest recesses of his mind.

When he first met the chairman, Jose had been dismissive of the young man. He made the mistake of thinking Zayn was another one of those trust-fund kids, a brat who thought

    In Brock’s mind, Jose was one of the biggest, baddest tycoons in the world of business. Social connection, resources, wealth—Jose had it all in surfeit. He was the kind of guy Brock always strove to ingratiate himself to, and now, his idol had just taken a knee for Zayn Larson.Brock felt as though his mind had plunged into a whirlpool. For the life of him, he could not imagine just how powerful Zayn had to be to cause someone like Jose to squirm. The only thing he could confirm, though, was that he had made a grave, lethal mistake.Honestly, Zayn never thought Jose would go straight to begging. The man was, at the very least, a powerful figure on his own. Even his so-called offense was hardly Jose’s personal fault, so there really was no reason for the man to drop down to his knees like that.Yes, Zayn had underestimated the strength of his authority. There was no one in his company who did not fear him. Fortunately, he was not an unreasonable person, and he knew Jose was innocent.

    “So what if you’re already married?” Alexandra whispered under her breath, her cheeks burning bright red as she looked at the tip of her shoes. “I don’t mind being your mistress.”It seemed like her suggestion shocked a few years out of Zayn because the man froze into a daze. “What—the hell did you just say?!”Honestly, Alexandra herself was taken aback by the words that escaped her lips. Her cheeks were practically feverish.“No! No, that was… another joke!” she said, trying to salvage the conversation as she shook her head.Zayn could not believe it. “Seriously? How old are you, man? You’re in your twenties! Quit being so childish and watch what you say!” he chided a little exasperatedly. “If your parents heard you, God, I bet they'd be so mad their hair would burst into flames!”Alexandra was dismissive though. She mumbled under her breath, “Yeah, right. They’d love the idea of you and me being an actual item.”She had said it so softly that Zayn could not hear her over Mary a

    Zayn shook his head. “Nope. I’m gonna have to pass. Gotta go home and report to my wife.”Hints of despondency flitted through Alexandra’s eyes. Biting her lips softly, she asked pointedly, “So… you’re scared of your wife, huh?”“It’s got nothing to do with being scared. It’s got everything to do with respect,” Zayn replied, before adding, “Not that I trust you to understand the difference. You haven’t gotten married.”Alexandra wanted very much to argue, but Zayn was not about to give her the chance. He quickly halted a cab by the roadside and took the ride home, leaving a very frustrated Alexandra to stomp her foot alone.She snapped her fingers, and several bodyguards came out from their hiding around the street before escorting her home.Zayn returned home to an awaiting Faye. When the two of them stood close to one another, Faye’s nose sniffled hard and caught a whiff of perfume.Something slight but evident befell her expression.Women were creatures endowed with the uncan

    The woman stared at the young man’s image, her eyes brimming with warmth and yearning. They were so soft, so overwhelming, she could stare at the world with those eyes and watch it melt under her gaze.“Oh, Zayn, how are you lately? Have you found your mother’s baggage? I’m so sorry for what I did to you… Oh, what I did to the family…”Tears adorned her melancholic eyes. Two of them broke away and splashed onto the embroidered image, drenching the young man’s forehead.A flash of scarlet appeared behind the woman without a peep, its movement featherlight and quiet as to avoid rousing the woman from her meander into the past.Nevertheless, the woman sensed the figure’s presence. She wiped her tears away and raised her head, welcoming it with a smile. “I’m glad to see you here, Lysithea. Please, would you mind keeping me company with a chat?”The woman in her twenties, Lysithea, turned out to be a ravishing beauty whose presence eclipsed everything else in her vicinity. She was so m

    Indeed, this regal woman was none other than Hayley King, Zayn’s birth mother and Sicut In Caelo’s Saintess… in the past, anyway. Ever since she ran away from the organization and became the wife of the oh-so-mortal Valentine Larson, she had lost any privilege and trapping that came with a title as high and mighty as the Saintess. Now, trapped in a mandated quarantine, she was but a glorified prisoner.“Are you sure? Is my dear Zayn living so well?” Hayley pressed on, both anticipating and queasy about the answer.Lysithea bobbed her head hard into a nod. “Oh, he’s doing better than well, Aunt Hayley! Seriously, he’s as talented and intelligent as you would expect your son would be! He might have not experienced any of our organization’s elite training, but he’s matured and grown so much anyways. My identity was this close to being exposed!”“Oh, that’s good news. Yes, that’s the best news I can hope for,” Hayley replied, her body visibly relaxing before the same easygoing smile res

    Hayley’s hand flipped and caught the young woman’s grip. “I cannot thank you enough, Lysithea.”Lysithea’s lips widened into a radiant smile that could put the sun to shame. She threw herself into Hayley’s arms and stayed there the same way a mother’s youngest daughter would. “It’s no trouble at all, Aunt Hayley. My life’s only purpose is to serve you! And since Zayn’s the only thing that could bring you any sense of comfort and joy, of course, he becomes my unique responsibility. He’s like a little brother to me!”Hayley stroked Lysithea’s hair softly while she graced the latter with her gentle, warm eyes. “Taking you into my care from the streets is truly one of the best choices I’ve ever made, Lysithea.”“To be able to stay by your side for every waking moment is just… It’s the most blessed thing to have ever happened to my life!” she replied. “If it weren’t for you, Aunt Hayley, I don’t know what’s the point of my existence in this world at all.”“God, you silly girl!” Hayley l

    Lysithea felt extremely unhappy as she reluctantly watched Hayley being taken away since there was nothing she could do at that moment. Finally, she looked at the embroidery that was left on the table and saw how Zayn looked so domineering and cool. Then, she muttered to herself, “Zayn, I really hope that you’re able to grow up and take Aunt Hayley away from this land of suffering.”…On the other hand, Zayn had once again begun to be busy recently. Now that he was the chairman for two companies, there were many matters that he had to attend to, especially in the newly established advertising agency. No matter how many matters Zayn had attended to himself, there were still many big decisions regarding the direction the company was going to take that required his signatures. Furthermore, as Zayn had become a big shot in the eyes of others, many had begun to invite him out for meals.Amongst those invitations, there were some that Zayn could not afford to reject.The world was all

    ”Ossiumol?” Zayn was startled for a moment and had a weird expression on his face as he said, “Are you sure?”How could Mr. Hyde possibly misunderstand what Zayn was doubtful of? He said with a serious expression, “It’s not what you think it is. Ossiumol is a supreme medicine refined by a renowned pharmaceutical scientist. It’s sourced from countless medicinal ingredients and essences refined from various animals. This is a medicine that includes a huge medicinal effect and energy. To a normal human, this would be like poison, but to martial arts experts of our caliber, Ossiumol would be perfect to enhance our blood flow and capacity, strengthen our internal organs to a point where it would allow us to break through the limitations we have.”Next, Mr. Hyde went into greater details about what Ossiumol was. It was then realized that Ossiumol was just like any other medicine whose principle was not too different from western medicine. In fact, they were both based on the essences of pl

    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.

    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.

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.
