As it happened, Zayn was genuinely astonished by Shaelyn’s behavior. He did not expect that she would ask to accompany him for one last night under such circumstances. Could it be that Shaelyn was truly in love with him?A woman as attractive as Shaelyn could get any man she wanted, so why would she have fallen for him? Moreover, Shaelyn would not become infatuated so easily after encountering far too many insincere displays of affection while mingling in her social circle. In any case, Zayn was rather moved by her actions. He could tell that Shaelyn was not putting on an act and was doing this from the bottom of her heart.Mr. Otto immediately pulled a long face and glared at Shaelyn ferociously. He blamed her for thoughtlessly putting a target on Aeolus House. “You may chat with Mr. Larson for a little longer, but then you’re going to leave with me. The Great Hunt is an important event and there are many affairs that you need to attend to,” said Mr. Otto sternly. Shaelyn
When Zayn arrived, the crowd briefly went silent before going back to normal. They averted their eyes from him as if they had already disregarded him completely. Nearby, Shaelyn and her Aeolus House’s colleagues were eating. Instinctively, she wanted to wave at Zayn and call for him to join her. However, she was immediately stopped by someone next to her. She could only drop her arm with a rather sad expression on her face.Even she felt that Zayn was doomed for sure this time from the bottom of her heart. Zayn smiled nonchalantly. He did not mind this at all. He bought his meal and carried his tray to look for a seat. When he approached a table, the expressions of the people seated there briefly froze. One of them stood up and said, “Yup, I’m full.”“What a coincidence, I’m full too. Let’s take a walk outside.”All at once, everyone at the table left. There was no expression on Zayn’s face. He began having his meal as if he was oblivious to their discrimination and hostilit
“Why? Can’t I make a bet?” Zayn asked with a smile when no one answered for a long time.One of the bankers chuckled dryly. “Mr. Larson, we were just playing the fool. We don’t mean anything else. Don’t mind us, please.”The other two bankers chorused, “Yeah, Mr. Larson, we were just fooling around. Don’t take it seriously.”“Haha, Mr. Larson’s a magnanimous man. He’d never get petty with us. Shoo, shoo, let’s not take up his time.”The men were about to part ways with that, but Zayn stopped them.“Don’t worry, I’m not that petty. I’m fighting Xander tomorrow anyway, so either one of us will die. Therefore, I’m not joking. I plan to bet 300 million dollars on me winning. Are you guys taking it?”“Uh…” The three bankers were startled and looked at Zayn skeptically, not sure if he was angered or actually serious about it. 300 million dollars was not a modest sum at all!One of the bankers tittered dryly. “Mr. Larson, we were really joking around. Just assume that we farted. Don’t
When they finally snapped out of their trance, they were ecstatic. This was 300 million dollars in their pocket for free! They would still make more than a hundred million dollars in profit after deducting the payment for those who wagered on Xander. Marvelous, hahaha!As for the possibility of Xander Griffin losing? Oops, they had never thought about it happening because it was simply impossible.Zayn snickered inwardly at the bankers’ barely concealed smiles. They would have plenty of time to cry about it after tomorrow!“Mr. Larson, this is our agreement. Once you lose to Xander Griffin tomorrow, this sum of money will be lost to us. If you beat him, we’ll pay you 2.3 billion dollars immediately. Put your signature down here.”Zayn waved dismissively. “No need for the contract. It’s meaningless. I believe that you won’t dare to go back on your word once I win tomorrow, right?”The bankers laughed. “Haha, of course. Since you’re so easygoing, the agreement is truly unnecessary,
Zayn’s gaze went icy. The person had a grip on the doorknob to open the door too. Interesting…Zayn swiftly picked himself up from the floor to lie on his bed and pull the covers over him, then closed his eyes to pretend that he was asleep. He wanted to know who would dare ambush him.The door was opened with a click… It was not a violent barge-in. Instead, the person used an access card to enter. The lights from the hallway outside peeked into the room in a line before a shapely figure appeared at the door. She looked around furtively like she was a thief.Zayn caught the person from the corner of his eye and was stunned. Shaelyn? Why was she here?!It was Shaelyn alright. That explained why she had the key card to Zayn’s room.She had struggled internally for a long time before sneaking out to Zayn’s room after her roommate fell asleep. She did not understand why she had to come looking for Zayn either. According to her usual behavior, she would not do a thing like this.In spi
The atmosphere in the room turned intimate abruptly…Zayn’s lips parted with the intention to speak harshly, but the words lost him suddenly as he heard Shaelyn’s hushed sobs. He froze.What was going on? Did Shaelyn Peach just cry? Was it because of him?“You—what are you crying about?” Zayn asked, feeling his scalp go numb with a tingle.Shaelyn was hugging his waist and burying her face in his chest while she sobbed. She was really making Zayn helpless.The woman finally spoke. “Sorry, I’m so sorry that I caused this…”Zayn was startled once more. Did Shaelyn Peach come in the middle of the night to confess her self-admonishment?To be honest, he had always put his guard up high around Shaelyn. It was during this moment that he was suddenly struck with the realization that he might seem to have misunderstood her. Perhaps the woman was not as cunning as he had imagined.“Can you let go of me first? It’s not quite appropriate for you to hug me like this…” Zayn said helplessly.
Shaelyn was undressing!What in the world was happening? Zayn was baffled.What was going on? Shaelyn had snuck into his room in the middle of the night knowing that he was dying in Xander’s hands tomorrow… Or was this her way of expressing her guilt to him?Whatever it was, Zayn could never accept it. Not only was he married and that sleeping with Shaelyn would be doing Faye wrong, but even without Faye in the picture, he was not about to hook up with Shaelyn right now when he had a life-and-death battle with Xander tomorrow!Zayn stopped the woman at once with widened eyes. “Hey, Shaelyn Peach! Have you gone mad?!”Shaelyn huffed, “Zayn Larson, are you a man? I’ve done so much and you’re still rejecting me?”“Is this the only way to prove whether I’m a man or not? Enough, go back. There’s no need to feel guilty about it or make it up to me this way. I’ll let you in on this. I’ll be the one who wins when I fight Xander Griffin tomorrow, so you don’t have to keep a guilty conscie
Shaelyn believed it this time. Her eyes glowed as she asked with slight skepticism, “Really?”“Of course. You aren’t just getting to know me for the first day. Have you seen me being frivolous? I won't do something that I’m not confident about doing.”Relief washed over Shaelyn as she racked her memory. Truthfully, Zayn had always been a secure and reliable person who would not do something he had no resolution in.In spite of it, Xander’s reputation was just massive. It still worried Shaelyn thinking about it. She bit her lip. “Even if you can beat Xander, I still want to offer myself to you. Don’t worry. I won't put you in a tough spot nor will I need you to take responsibility. I won’t let your wife know either. I just need you to think of me occasionally and come to me.”Zayn felt his heart beating faster at the offer. Given Shaelyn’s beauty, if she did become his secret lover… Moreover, Faye seemed to make allowances for him to look for a lover outside of their relationship…
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
