The group threw themselves at Zayn simultaneously.Zayn might have boasted how easy fighting all of them at once would be, but pulling something like that off, in reality, was far from a cakewalk. Even if one discounted Branch Leader Bill Costa and his prowess, the rest of the Northmob Council gang members were still excellent fighters in their own right. These people could tear a military tank into parts if they hopped on it in unison!Hubris was no longer the word they had for Zayn. In their eyes, he was the deadly sin Pride in the flesh, a death-seeker searching for a novel suicide. Flames were coursing through their veins before they sputtered out of their eyes; it was as if the men’s wrath was compelling them to deny the mercy of killing Zayn outright and torture him to death instead.The Northmob Council alone had always been the one who made the rules and walked like tyrants. They bullied people—not be bullied—and no one ever humiliated them right on their own goddamned turf.
Could Bill's composure actually break? No! Not when being the branch leader for this particular group gave him insider’s knowledge on how strong each individual really was. Bill was sure that he could only secure a Pyrrhic victory, full of battle bruises or even lethal injuries—if he went up against his gang members’ united attacks. Asking Bill to replicate the same ease and poise Zayn had as if he was just humoring a group of schoolchildren was impossible. It also meant that Zayn was a few whole leagues above him in fighting!Bill finally understood why Zayn had the gall to assemble an unqualified ragtag company before paying the Northmob Council a visit—though “visit” was definitely the wrong word. Zayn was here not to show respect; he was here to sow ruins!No matter how hard he thought about it, he could not answer why Zayn wanted this so much. Why was he so adamant in waging a war against the Northmob Council? Was he supported by powerful backers?Hunter and the rest were even
Zayn had chosen not to threaten Bill for too long, so he let him go. Of course, it had nothing to do with Zayn growing soft—he just thought there was no reason to kill Bill because he was such a trivial, inconsequential guy. Killing him would only dirty Zayn’s hands for no actual gains.“Let’s go.” Zayn patted Sean on the shoulder and started toward the exit in a casual stroll.His action pulled Sean out of his startled trance, who immediately inhaled a sharp breath as he surveyed a floor littered with bodies and the trembling Bill amidst the chaos. He shivered and turned to follow Zayn on the way out.He thought he knew everything there was to know about Zayn, but today, he realized that his knowledge was just the tip of the iceberg. This man was even more terrifying than he had previously predicted though Sean finally understood why someone like Mr. Hyde would subjugate himself to Zayn.Hunter and the rest of the group quickly followed, afraid that staying put at where they were
Now realizing what Zayn had done, Sean admired Zayn even more than he ever did before.Zayn was not in the mood to reason with the likes of them, so he waved them off dismissively instead. “Alright, no need to think that hard. Just do as I say, and I won’t treat you anything less than you deserve. Look for Mr. Wilson for everything else after this,” he said, “I’ll allow two days of break, but make sure you report at the company immediately three days later. I’ll train all of you personally.”He paused, then looked at them with steely eyes. “I’ll make this clear right here, right now,” he warned with an edge in his voice, “If any of you is absent that day, don’t blame me when I come for you.”The group shook their heads hurriedly to show that they harbored no such intention.Hunter clenched his jaw, walked out of the crowd, and fell to his knees before Zayn. He shouted loudly, “Please take me as your apprentice, sir!”Seeing the fervency in his eyes made Zayn jump. Frowning, he rep
Now that the basic direction and plan for his security firm was done, Zayn passed everything about running the business to Sean. His focus, meanwhile, would be on the challenges the Northmob Council posed.On the other hand, Faye’s career was going swimmingly, too. She took Zayn’s words to heart and discarded her more micromanaging ways, shrugging off the load on her shoulders instead of lumping them all in her plate. Slowly but surely, she was starting to relax more and more. The days had stopped being hectic, and her mood improved.However, these two days, she returned to being a little uneased. She could sense something—someone— watching her from the shadows, but every time she turned to look, it vanished without a trace as if it was never there.She did not feel good at all, but she did not tell Zayn about it because it almost felt like she was hallucinating. Still, she had to admit that it was high time she hired a bodyguard.One day, while she stepped out of her office, a lit
It was too magical to believe.Faye had always been proud of how well-endowed she was. She had seen countless other beauties in her life and never once felt her confidence wavered. But this one… She had no confidence to compare herself to her.She was too arresting—an absolute knockout. Her face was flawless, free from even the smallest of blemishes. God knows Faye had never seen anyone quite like this. And the air she brought with her! She felt ethereal, a creature between the line of reality and the magical, like a fairy. She even wondered if the woman would disappear into the meadows, leaving only sparkles in her wake had Faye blinked.It was Lysithea. She had decided to talk to Faye.Just as Faye was marveling at her beauty, the young woman was sizing Faye up as well, her approval soaring. Her little brother had managed to marry a woman whose radiance managed to eclipse many women in her organization.She shot a cursory glance at Faye’s helpers and smiled slightly. “I didn’t t
She had only recovered from her surprise after a long while. She muttered to herself ‘monster’ then walked away. “Did you see me talking to the woman in red earlier?” Faye asked her two subordinates. The two subordinates answered that they had seen but there was no astonishment or anything unusual about their expression. They appeared to be behaving normally. This made Faye mutter to herself even more. However, she did not inquire further either. Faye returned to the house, her mind filled with all sorts of queries. Zayn was reading a newspaper in the living room. Noticing her return, he took the initiative to approach her and carried her handbag for her. Sensing Zayn’s gentleness and care for her, Faye felt warm and fuzzy inside. Faye wanted to ask Zayn if she had an elder sister on a few occasions, but she refrained from saying out loud every time she felt the urge to ask. Zayn was a man with sharp senses. He sensed that she had something on her mind soon and asked, “Do
He had to tell Faye about these things in order to prevent her from worrying. Early morning the next day, Zayn went to visit Mr. Hyde. He got straight to the point by asking, “Who’s Lysithea?”Zayn stared closely at Mr. Hyde’s eyes. A look of astonishment flashed in Mr. Hyde’s eyes. Did Lady Lysithea go looking for Zayn?“Has Lady Lysithea gone to see you?” asked Mr. Hyde. Upon hearing that, Zayn felt more at ease in his heart. Judging by Mr. Hyde’s reaction, Lysithea was not a foe at the very least. “No, she went to see Faye.”Mr. Hyde was astonished once again. He said, “Lady Lysithea is the adopted daughter of The Saintress and also your elder sister. At the same time, she is also a member of Sicut In Caelo.”Zayn caught the crucial information soon. He said, “Did my mother send her? Where is she now? Take me to meet her.”Mr. Hyde shook his head and said, “I don’t know where Lady Lysithea is. She comes and goes without a trace and her whereabouts are not within my contro
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
