Zayn curled into a lopsided smile. Riling these foreigners was his precise intention.So what if a few Rheasians with inferiority complex had humbled themselves so much that it inflated these foreign races’ ego that after a period of time being served as master, they thought they could lord over everyone else. But Zayn, oh he would not feel welcomed and entitled at all. They were in Rheasian land; they were the ones who should bend under the host and their rules!Smith was balling his fists so hard that he could hear his knuckles popping from under the table. With almost impossible willpower, he managed to keep his ire from spilling out while forcing a mechanical smile out of his lips. “Excuse me, Mr. Larson, but I was wondering where did you learn—”He had not even finished his sentence when Zayn suddenly turned to Annabelle and said, “Oh, Miss Laking, I forgot. I’m craving some top-notch pork ribs, so please help me order it.”“O-Oh!” Annabelle was stunned for a second, but her e
“I’m sorry, Mr. Larson. Please accept my apology!”It was a sentence Smith had to push out of his unwilling throat and his clenched teeth. Watching him, his compatriots felt just as humiliated and indignant.Seeing his purpose achieved, Zayn decided to drop his charade. Getting under these people’s skin was enough; anything more than that and he would seem oh-so-irritating and an asinine prick.“Well, seeing how genuine you are, I guess I have to forgive you after all!” Zayn replied in markedly proficient Esperanto—he was so good, there was not even a hint of regional accent in it!Smith’s bile multiplied exponentially. He was so close to flipping the table. He knew it! This bastard could speak Esperanto—he was just trying to make things difficult. What a piece of sh*t!Whatever rancor in Smith’s face, however, could not beat the one on Kenneth’s glower.It was precisely what Zayn wanted to achieve. These foreigners went around in Rheasia pretending to be king, lording over so ma
Anabelle and Esther were stunned upon witnessing the scene. What was going on? Did Smith not invite Zayn out to dinner with all the intent and purpose of apologizing? How did it turn into Smith challenging Zayn? Moreover, they could tell at a single glance that the man named Kenneth was very skilled in fighting. How could Zayn possibly be his match? “Mr. Smith, since Mr. Larson is a business owner, it’s inappropriate for him to engage in hand-to-hand combat with your friend, isn’t it?” said Anabelle with a frown. Although she knew that Zayn was rather skilled in fighting, she felt that Zayn would not be able to defeat Kenneth who was a professional boxer.It would be bad if Zayn ended up hurt from that altercation. Smith shrugged and said, “It’s only a spar. Kenneth will be merciful and he won’t hurt Mr. Larson. There’s nothing to be scared of.”Zayn sliced into his food and ate slowly. He chewed every bite of food slowly to savor the scrumptiousness of the food. “Forget about
Kenneth leaned against the chair with a bantering expression with his legs crossed. He appeared as self-conceited as one could be. Their scheme was finally revealed—they had invited Zayn for dinner tonight for the purpose of seeking revenge. Annabelle was infuriated. She had trusted Smith so much and spared no effort in inviting Zayn to the meal, yet she ended up being used by her co-star. “Mr. Smith, how could you do this? You told me that you wanted to apologize to Mr. Larson, yet you brought a boxer with you to make things difficult for Mr. Larson,” Annabelle fumed. Smith did not feel guilty at all. On the contrary, he felt even more delighted in his heart to see Annabelle being so furious. He shrugged and said, “I did apologize to Mr. Larson, and you all heard it. Now, my friend is asking for a match with him. Will that be an issue? Moreover, he mentioned earlier that my friend is no match for him, but he’s scared now. Is that my fault?”Annabelle was rendered incapable of
Annabelle was very concerned upon hearing that. She had never paid attention to MMA fights before and had no idea what a UFC cage was, so she took out her phone and ran a search immediately. Her expression changed drastically at once. The UFC cage was a sealed arena meant for fighters to fight without any rules. It was bloodier and more merciless than a boxing ring and could easily result in death if one was not careful!She hastily said to Zayn, “Don’t do it, Mr. Larson. It’s too dangerous!”Zayn was well aware of the UFC cage naturally. In reality, he had watched a few UFC fights before and even approved the idea of an MMA fight too. Of course, his approval of the idea lay in the sense of its commercial value. To a really skilled person, a UFC cage was utterly meaningless, and he could make his way out of it casually. If he were to use his life and death fight with Xander as an example, the UFC cage setup would not have been able to restrain them in the slightest bit and their
There was a saying that an angry man could kill a handful of people, but an angry powerhouse could kill thousands!Zayn was not a powerhouse, so he could not kill thousands of people, but he was still capable of killing the foreigner named Kenneth. This particular group of foreigners had come to their country to bully them. Had Zayn chosen to remain indifferent without teaching them a good lesson, he did not deserve to be a Rheasian anymore. As a practitioner trained in martial arts, he had to take action to uphold justice in an unjust situation. As a Rheasian, it was his duty to salvage his motherland’s honor when outsiders insulted his motherland. It was not just his principle but also his limit!The fact that Zayn had the capability to do so aside, even if he lacked the capacity, he had to step forward and safeguard his motherland’s honor now. At this very moment, he came to realize something without realizing it.At his current level, he was supposed to remove himself fr
He had already said it clearly enough, but Annabelle and the others still refused to believe him, thanks to the difference in their body sizes. There was such a huge disparity between both of them!“What? This Rheasian man wants to enter the UFC cage with Kenneth? He must have lost his mind!” a man shouted in astonishment after hearing about the match from Smith. He was a trainer here whose main focus was on Muay Thai. The rest of the people were incredulous upon hearing that. They cast their gazes to find the skinny, weak Zayn who looked like a young amateur. He was a mediocre fighter at most while Kenneth was a proper heavyweight boxer. They found it incredulous that Zayn was obviously seeking doom. Smith cracked a malicious grin and said, “It’s not important whether he has lost his mind or not. This Rheasian man is so bold to claim that he will use his Rheasiano to defeat Kenneth.”Upon hearing the words ‘Rheasiano’, the person from the gym was stunned for a moment first then
Kenneth locked the metal fence after entering the cage. He did not want to let Zayn have the opportunity to flee. Annabelle, Esther, and the others could feel their chests tighten with anxiety. However, Zayn chuckled in contempt. He was not in the least bit interested in fighting a weakling like Kenneth at all. Based on the fact that Kenneth could not even be considered an acquired fighter, he was on a completely different level from Zayn. “You’re dead, Rheasian! Perhaps you’re unaware of my identity because I’m a top boxer from Great Englaland and I was a gold championship belt holder in the past! How dare you insult my good friend Smith? Well, fool, now you’re doomed,” Kenneth declared with a malicious grin. Smith cheered him on, “Kenneth, bro, show this puny man a demonstration of your impressive power as the king of boxing.”“What? He is the king of boxing?” Annabelle was instantly shocked upon hearing that. A bodyguard standing next to her remembered something and sai
