“Hanson aside, you should probably keep your eyes peeled for Xander. After all, this one’s the heavyweight,” Shaelyn continued. “He leads a gang called the Northmob Council, and honey, it’s too powerful to challenge.”Zayn nodded and sank into a temporary silence. “Say, how well does Northmob Council do compared to Sicut In Caelo?”He analyzed Shaelyn’s movements and expressions, searching for any clues that could provide him with information about the organization.Unfortunately, she simply looked at him blearily. “Sicut In… what? What kind of gang is that? I’ve never heard of that one,” she replied questioningly.It was Zayn’s turn to be shocked. Shaelyn was one of the big shots of the Aeolus House, yet she knew nothing about Sicut In Caelo? Had Zayn not paid persnickety attention to the woman’s facial expression, he would have been inclined to believe Shaelyn was lying to him.The truth was out—Shaelyn Peach had no idea what Sicut In Caelo was. In other words, the organization
By the time he had returned to the clothing store, Faye was already done putting her clothes into bags. Seeing Zayn's return, she smiled and approached him. “You’re done?”Zayn nodded. “Yeah. Hey, look. There’s nothing between Shaelyn and I, Fifi. Please don’t misunderstand—”She smacked her hand over his lips gently before he could finish. “No need for explanation,” she said, chuckling. “I trust you.”He froze. Hesitantly, he asked, “But… uh, why? Why do you trust me so much, Fifi?”Faye’s unwavering trust was starting to unnerve him, especially when Shaelyn was a walking, breathing succubus whose every hair flip and every curl of her lips oozed deadly seduction. Very few men would be able to resist themselves when she was around.“Why wouldn’t I trust you? Throughout all of our four years of marriage, we slept in the same room and you’ve never once given into temptation. You’ve never forced yourself onto me. Not even once! I doubt there’s anyone in this world who’s more ‘discipl
Their objections were completely within Zayn’s expectation. After all, there were few people in this world who could match his intellect, and ever since his vast improvements in his mental faculties, his IQ had grown exponentially. It would not be an exaggeration to imply that he could learn anything under the sun at least ten times faster than the unwashed, average Joe. Throw him a pile of super-duper difficult math questions, and he would solve them very quickly.Of course, he could see well into the company’s future due to his godly precision and supreme foresight! However, he was too lazy to explain himself to his unremarkable inferiors, so he simply replied, “I have my ways, so don’t question me—just do as I say.”Many opened their mouths in the form of a rebuttal, but after seeing Zayn’s apathetic mien, they lost what little courage they had. They might be executives and investors, but Violet Vision was still pretty much Zayn’s one-man show. He was the only one who held sixty p
Sean reached Zayn’s office and stopped in front of his door. After some careful thought, he knocked on the door.A while later, Zayn’s voice boomed from the other side. “Come in.”The man inside watched his guest, a grim expression plaguing his features. “What’s wrong? Do you doubt me too?” he pointed out with a smile.Sean was surprisingly candid about his intentions. “Oh, I wouldn’t dare doubt you,” he replied with a mirthless smile. “But you have to forgive me for being too dense to understand the direction that you’re bringing the company towards.”Zayn put down his work and looked Sean in the face. “Do you know what immediately followed Pax Romana? The Fall of the Roman Empire, of course! You know how these things rise and fall. On the surface, Violet Vision’s growth is unhindered by any threats and should therefore continue to grow, but everything has a set height. Cross it, and the only way to go is down,” he explained. “Violet Vision has grown too much this year. Its size h
With these challenges, it was a small wonder that security companies ended up being the game few capitalists would indulge. It was also the biggest reason behind Sean’s worries.Of course Zayn knew all about his apprehension. With a smile, he said, “I didn’t plan to start a big firm right from the get-go, though. Just thought of training a detail of premium bodyguards to protect those close to me, and then slowly increase the investment as it progresses in its size and service.”Sean nodded approvingly. If this was the system that they were implementing, then maybe it deserved a try.One last problem was left tormenting him, though. “Sir, from what I've gathered, it’s customary for every security company in this part of the country to pay the top-dogs a special visit—get on their good sides, basically.”“Sorry, what?” Zayn was a little taken aback. What was this, some sort of holdover from medieval feudalism?Sean, on the other hand, merely nodded solemnly. “It’s true, sir. See, w
Sean still wanted to talk Zayn out of the idea, but he could see that Zayn was already determined to do this. As a result, he did not speak out of line anymore. As Zayn’s subordinate, he had already performed his duty and had a sense of propriety to know when to stop too. After Sean left, Zayn rifled through the document in his hand regarding the Northmob Council and muttered to himself softly, “Oh, Northmob Council, Northmob Council, I hope you won’t disappoint me.”His eyes were glistening brilliantly. …Yvonne Keller had been feeling dejected recently, failing to find enthusiasm in anything she did. It had already been six months since she joined Violet Vision Media Corp, but she managed to encounter Zayn only a handful of times. Even if she did manage to get a promotion with two pay raises within six months by relying on her beauty and capability, she was still far from achieving her goal. She joined Violet Vision Media Corp with the goal of seducing Zayn into having an ill
Zayn, who was walking out of the building with Sean and a few other administrative officers, heard Yvonne’s call. He was stunned for a moment because he had almost forgotten about her. It was after office hours coincidentally, and there were many staff leaving work. They heard Yvonne exclaim, so they shifted their attention to her. They were even more shocked by the sight of Sean and the other administrative officers. Yvonne was in a delightful mood as soon as she saw Zayn. The agitation that she felt due to Hunter earlier vanished into nothingness as well. She beelined to him at her fastest speed. However, she realized that she could not bring herself to speak when Zayn was looking at her. Her heart was racing, and she was extremely nervous. Sean immediately furrowed his brows. He was obviously displeased when he said, “Which department is this staff from? That’s so rude of her.”“Mr. Wilson, I’m sorry. This is my subordinate, and I shall penalize her accordingly at once.” A mi
Zayn’s remark stirred up a great clamor at once!Many white-collar workers in Waltz City could not even make 30 thousand dollars in annual wage. Was this bumpkin cousin of Yvonne worth the price?Everyone widened their mouths in surprise including Yvonne. They were staring at Zayn in bewilderment. In fact, she even assumed that she was delusional. Why would Zayn actually spend 30 thousand dollars of his annual wage to hire someone like Hunter? One should know that her salary at Violet Vision was not even 30 thousand dollars. In addition to that, why would Zayn hire Hunter? Was it to make Hunter his bodyguard? Hunter was only skilled in fighting but possessed no other skills. Sean reacted most swiftly. He was astounded for a moment, then he immediately figured out Zayn’s intention. Hunter was stunned for a moment as well before he shook his head and said, “I’m here to take care of my cousin, not to make a profit off your filthy money…Ouch, Yvonne, why did you hit me?”Yvonne wa
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
