...It went eerily quiet. No one had actually thought that the fight would end that quickly.This was especially true for the two middle-aged men who were with Orson, whose eyes were wide open. It was at that moment when they realized that they’ve angered a terrifying existence!When Zayn shot a glance at the both of them, they became horrified and immediately turned around to flee, which proved that they knew better than to fight against someone they definitely had no chance of winning against.However, was Zayn going to allow them to leave?The answer is very obvious, of course not!Before the two of them even managed to take two steps, they suddenly felt their bodies become light and there was a sharp pain on their necks. They had actually been held upwards by their necks with just one arm each. After that, they were thrown behind on the ground like a piece of trash and neither of them were able to stand up from it.Then, Zayn slowly walked back and said to Thomas, “I’m only
While Zayn was silently building up his strength… ‘We’re in public, but if Hanson really does have the guts to come at me, I won’t go easy on him and turn him into a cripple with one hit. After all, I’ve already thoroughly made a huge enemy out of Xavier, so what’s one more enemy?’Right at that moment, two policemen ran towards them and yelled while they pointed at Zayn and Hanson, “Oi! What are you doing there? How dare you fight here?!”Hanson had already concealed half of his temperament because he did not dare to act too hastily in public. Furthermore, now that the police have spotted him, he wanted to maintain an even lower profile.“I’ll let you off this time, Zayn, but just you wait! I’m going to come for you very soon and kill you!!” cursed Hanson maliciously as he pointed at Zayn.Zayn had also become furious when he heard this. As he squinted his eyes, the murderous intent within him got triggered.‘You mess with the bull, you get the horns!’Obviously, Hanson still ha
Zayn’s interest was piqued. He proceeded to ask, “Oh? Tell me—who is this person?”‘I’m currently considered to be the strongest person in Waltz City who has billions of dollars worth of assets in my name. Plus, both the police and the underground organizations have to behave respectfully in front of me. So, there aren’t actually that many people who would actually be able to make me meet them obediently and even have to behave respectfully in front of them with just one simple request.‘Of course, I won’t be that full of myself, but I do know that I’m an extremely strong person within the country. On the contrary, I do know that there are still many people stronger than I am. After all, there’s always another higher mountain.’Then, Mr. Hyde nodded his head and said, “This person’s name is Fabian Owen, the chairman of Victorays Group who’s also the ex-president of Guineve Chamber Of Commerce. He’s very well-reputed within the circle and is very strong, so many have to show him resp
Although Zayn had never met this middle-aged man before, he knew who the man was. This man was Fabian’s second son, Seth Owen, a famous figure within the business world.Behind Seth should also be family members of the Owens, who had also revealed a friendly smile towards Zayn, seeming very kind. Frankly, this left Zayn feeling a little confused. ‘Logically speaking, based on the Owens’ strength, there’s literally no need for them to be so friendly with me.‘This woman especially—it’s like she can’t stop sizing me up. The look in her eyes makes me feel like she’s assessing her future son-in-law. I’m actually feeling a little uncomfortable.‘Is it possible that Fabian called me here just to discuss some terms of marriage?’Very soon, Zayn dumped this thought of this behind his mind. ‘The fact that I married into the Carters is no longer a secret in Waltz City. Based on the Owens’ influence, it would be impossible for them to not know about this, so how could they possibly have thi
The amount of friendliness being shown made Zayn feel both embarrassed and uneasy. ‘This is only the first time I’m meeting the Owens and we’re completely unrelated, but Seth and the rest of them are just so friendly towards me, this feels so weird. Most importantly, I can tell that they aren’t faking it, but are sincerely being friendly.‘All these years, I’ve grown used to being met with hostile treatment and scorn. So, this is actually the first time I’m being so warmly welcomed, it’s rather uncomfortable.’Finally, they stopped being so friendly the moment they entered the house.“Have a seat here for a while, Zayn. I’ll call my father over here,” said Seth with a smile on his face.Zayn then nodded his head and acknowledged Seth before Gloria and the other members of the Owens also left, but told Zayn that they would be back shortly.When Zayn finally saw the opportunity to be able to talk, he asked Mr. Hyde in a whisper, “Lil’ Hyde, didn’t you say Fabian requested to meet me
As the young man said that, he began rolling up his sleeves as he ferociously stared at Zayn, completely seeming like he was going to teach Zayn a lesson just because things didn’t go his way.On the other hand, Zayn had also become furious. If it wasn’t because of Fabian, Zayn couldn’t be bothered to even be there. After all, Zayn was a huge figure himself, so there was no way he could still remain calm after being insulted as such.‘I’m completely confused with why the Owens want me here now. They’ve especially gone through Lil’ Hyde to invite me here, where Seth and his wife treated me with such a warm welcome. Yet, in the blink of an eye, these three *ssholes came out and insulted me. Are they trying to scare me? Is this a test?’Whatever it was, based on Zayn’s status, he was already offended after being insulted by his juniors. ‘I’m not going to let this slide unless the Owens give me a proper explanation.’Then, Zayn stared at the young man and coldly said, “I’m going to giv
Fabian was already 85 years old that year. However, his age had not caught up to him in the slightest. In fact, he looked extremely energetic. This was especially true with the fiery look in his eyes which was filled with vicissitudes, making him seem like he would still be able to live for another decade at least.When Zayn sized Fabian up, Fabian had also done the same and had a smile filled with admiration for Zayn.Leo and Kai could not help but tremble the moment they saw Fabian and even seemed terrified.On the other hand, Malcolm revealed an aggrieved expression as he yelled, “Grandpa, thank goodness you’re here! These two country bumpkins seemed to have found their way into our house through some hole. I was patiently asking him why he was here, but he did not answer me. So, I had no choice but to ask them to leave, then they started beating me up. Look, grandpa, look how swollen my hand is, it hurts so much. You must seek justice for me, Grandpa!”Malcolm had flawlessly ju
The bodyguards were stunned for a moment before they hurriedly pinned the Owen brothers down.Malcolm panicked and begged quickly, “Grandpa! Grandpa! I’m sorry, Grandpa! It’s my fault for dismissing him as your guest of honor. But I didn’t offend him. Look at my hand, he…”Thwack!Before Malcolm finished his words, Fabian had landed a slap on his face, hard and merciless. Malcolm’s face swelled immediately, blood seeping out of the corner of his lips.When his mother saw her son being hit, she felt a pang in her heart, but she dared not express her dissatisfaction. Fabian was the patriarch of the Owens and held absolute authority. No one in the family was bold enough to defy him.“You incompetent brat! So inept and all you know is to babble nonsense. You’re a disgrace to us Owens!” Fabian reprimanded harshly, his voice loud and sonorous. His words echoed through the massive mansion and sent chills down the Owens’s spines, especially Malcolm’s.Without waiting for Fabian to come f
