Gordon was a clever man. He looked all brute and brawn, but he was scrupulous and was especially prone to guessing the minds of bigwigs. He figured it out the moment he saw Faye. The chairman of Violet Vision must have fancied Faye. That was why he was needed to act alongside him. These hotshots were all cunning in tricks and games nowadays.At the sight of a serious Gordon who spun the walnuts in his hand even faster, George hurried to say, “Mr. Hayes, this is a misunderstanding. Faye Carter isn’t one of us anymore, so her debt has nothing to do with us Carters.”Faye’s eyes went wide in disbelief. What did her grandfather just say? She had done so much for the Carters, including working in their family business before she graduated from college and had always been conscientious with her job. All in all, she had created so much value for her family!If she had not sacrificed herself for the family and borrowed three million dollars from the chairman of Violet Vision recently, could
The sudden turn of events stupefied the Carters, specifically George and Hector. They were befuddled—was it not Faye who owed the money? Why was it Howard now?Hoisted up like a frozen turkey by the two brutes, Howard was forced to kneel before Gordon.“Howard Carter, huh? Very bold of you…You owe me money, yet you refuse to answer my calls?” Gordon looked down at Howard and said coldly.Scared witless, the latter pleaded incessantly, “Mr. Hayes, it’s all a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding! How’d I dare to refuse your calls? My phone broke yesterday! It wasn’t working!”Tears and snot ran down his face. Howard looked pathetic as he begged Gordon like a stray.Gordon’s gaze flitted to Zayn, silently asking him what he should do. As their eyes met, Zayn was quick to direct him with his gaze as well. Gordon grabbed Howard’s hair and yanked his head upward. “I’ll cut the crap with you. Pay up what you owe. Clear the remaining 1.01 million dollars today and I’ll let you go.”Howar
”Zayn Larson! What on earth are you doing?!”“Piss off! This is not your place to speak!” George and Hector berated.Faye stomped her foot, loathing Zayn to her core. The fellow thought too highly of himself. This was Waltz City’s big gun. What could a man like him, who married into her family, say anything significant to Gordon? Zayn was trying to get himself killed!Faye was worried and anxious about Zayn, but she dared not step up and pull him back. She knew that the man had stepped forward because of her, but this was such a stupid thing to do! He was throwing himself into the flames!When Gordon saw that the Carters knew Zayn and were telling him off like nobody’s business, he was dumbstruck and a little puzzled. Was this not the chairman of Violet Vision? How did he get involved with the Carters? From the looks of it, he seemed to have married into the family too!Holy sh*t, this piece of news was mind-boggling!“Zayn Larson, are you trying to get yourself killed for speaki
Zayn chuckled. “Uncle Hector, you must be kidding. You’re my elder. It’s not my place to be forgiving you either. I wouldn’t have the guts to lose my temper.”Hector gritted his teeth at Zayn’s indifference. Steeling himself, he gave himself two harsh slaps—his face swelling as a result—and pleaded, “Zayn, I’m wrong. I really know that. I won’t make fun of you anymore. Can you talk to Mr. Hayes? Get him to let Howard go?”Gordon, who was leaving, obviously slowed down, which the Carters noted. They knew that he would let Howard go with a single word from Zayn. They did not understand, however, why a gangster like Gordon would act so meekly in front of Zayn though it was not important because the current reality was that Zayn was the only one who could save Howard.“No,” Zayn refused resolutely. Hector slumped in defeat while Gordon continued walking away. Zayn then spoke again, “But I’ll listen to my wife. If she approves, I can speak to Gordon.”Everyone directed their gaze to Fay
Zayn got to sleep in their bedroom again. This was news worth being happy about. Although he still slept on the floor instead of on the same bed with Faye, he was more than satisfied.The room was silent late night into the night. Hearing Faye’s soft breathing, Zayn slept soundly.Faye went back to work in the office the next morning as George reinstated her status in the board of directors last night, returning her shares that he had taken away as well.As for Zayn, he went to work at Violet Vision too.Gordon had helped him last night. For whatever it was worth, Zayn had to thank him, so he went to him directly after work. When Zayn had called him, the gangster was drinking in a bar and was delightfully surprised to answer his call. He thought it was brazen to have Zayn come for him and insisted on going to Zayn instead, but the latter rejected.Half an hour later, Zayn arrived at RUSH. It was pretty huge and had a tasteful interior. It was buzzing and teeming with people. Their
Cursing loudly, Gordon charged forwards to kick the muscled man on the left away and slap the burly man on the right. “You blind fools! This is my VIP! How dare you burden him with inconveniences like yourselves?!”The thugs were bewildered. It was too much for their slow brains to process. Why was their boss so furious? Zayn looked exactly like a nobody.The spectating crowd in the hallway was stunned as well.Gordon was seen bowing deeply to Zayn as he spoke anxiously, “Sir, don’t be mad, please. This is my fault. I didn’t educate my underlings well. It’s all my fault, sir!”The two thugs looked like they had just seen a ghost when they saw their boss bowing to Zayn in apology while looking tensed and edgy.Zayn chortled. “Mr. Hayes, that’s too much. You’re the boss here. How could I ever blame you?”His reaction made Gordon hysterical. Gritting his teeth, he was ready to give himself a slap when Zayn said, “It’s fine. I was joking. As a friend, though, I have a word of advice
Yvonne had been frustrated recently. She had finally gotten into Violet Vision Media Corp, but other than getting to meet Zayn on her first day, she did not even see him the rest of the time—she could forget about seducing him.Since she knew about Zayn’s identity, every other man paled in comparison. For example, there was a rich kid who was currently pestering her. He was the heir to a small company in Waltz City with assets worth millions. When compared next to Zayn, however, he lacked far too much.In the past, Yvonne might have made something out of it when she encountered a rich heir like him, but she was disinterested now. Not only were the heir’s family assets insignificant compared to Zayn’s, but the millions of dollars also belonged to his father and was not for the heir to use as he wished. Zayn… Zayn was different. He had hundreds of millions of dollars to acquire Violet Vision Media Corp. He decided where to spend his own money. It was a different scenario altogether.
When Zayn left Gordon’s room and was about to head home, when he saw a pretty face appear suddenly before him. It stunned him.“Zayn, what a coincidence! I didn’t expect you here. Is this what they mean by fate? Hehe!”“It’s you, huh, Yvonne?”“Yup, it’s me. Surprised?” Yvonne’s smile was bright and sunny.He never would have thought he would bump into Yvonne here. He creased his brows lightly and said faintly, “I’m going home.”“Okay. I’m going home too. The air here is so congested and it’s so noisy. I actually hate coming to bars. It’s because my friend, Patricia, insisted I should come tonight,” Yvonne explained swiftly, clearing the air and pretending to be a goody-two-shoes.Zayn realized just as much, but he could not be bothered to expose her.Then, a man waltzed in from the side and blocked the two of them. Drake’s eyes had never left Yvonne. When he saw that she was leaving with Zayn, how could he just stand there? He hurried over to stop the two of them.“Miss Keller
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
