The saleswoman interrupted him by saying, “I’m sorry, sir. Your payment didn’t go through.”

“What?” Daryl was stunned once again. If his payment did not go through, then the one that did was...

He swiftly turned to Zayn!

Impossible. There was no way it could be him. How could that tramp possibly afford to pay 300,000 dollars?

The saleswoman continued to say, “The successful payment is Mr. Larson’s. Mr. Lee, your payment failed because of inadequate funds in your bank card.”

Upon hearing the saleswoman’s remarks, everyone was dumbfounded. They gazed at Zayn in astonishment.

“That’s impossible!” Ivanna immediately yelled out sharply and said, “You must have made a mistake. He can’t even hold a job. How could he ever have 300,000 dollars on his card?”

The saleswoman remained smiling and said, “I didn’t make a mistake. It’s true that Mr. Larson made a successful payment. We have the payment record here.”

Next, she printed the receipt and handed it to Zayn. She said respectfully, “Mr. Larson, please sign here.”

Calm as a gentle pool, Zayn signed his name leisurely. He smiled and said to Daryl, “Mr. Lee, how did your payment fail? I thought you’re the owner of a company that makes a profit of a few hundred thousand dollars annually. How come you don’t even have 300,000 dollars on your card?”

His words made Daryl feel very uncomfortable.

The saleswoman lifted the credit card machine and said to Daryl, “Mr. Lee, if you’d like to proceed with your payment, please choose a card with adequate funds.”

Everyone in the shop had their eyes fixed upon him.

Clenching his teeth, he had a very grim expression, and his fingers were trembling slightly.

The crowd in the shop began to buzz when they saw how long it was taking him to swipe his card.

“Could it be that the fat man doesn’t have the money?”

“Judging by how he looks, I’ll wager that’s probably the case. He still had the audacity to throw his weight around before. Turns out he’s just a trashy snob.”

“You’re right. He’s hideous and he enjoys being pretentious. Whoever married him is in for a hell of a time.”

“Hah-haha. On the contrary, I think they’re a match made in heaven. Did you not see his wife putting on airs earlier? She behaves as if her husband’s a billionaire or something when he’s actually just a tramp. What a joke.”

Each mocking voice was louder than the last. Their jeering echoed through Daryl and Ivanna’s ears and left them feeling very uneasy.

Ivanna could not stand it anymore. She had done her utmost to seize the opportunity to vent the anger she felt for Faye, but as a result, she was the one humiliated again. She could not control her emotions anymore, so she loudly yelled, “Hey, what are all of you saying, huh?! Who says that my husband is not rich? The money he makes in a month is more than what you make in a year! Who do you think you are to make fun of him?!”

“Heh-heh, if your husband is so amazing, have him settle the bill. Mr. Larson has already paid successfully and he’s still waiting for you.”

“That’s right. It’s easier said than done. Go ahead and make the payment if you can. Anyone can talk big, you piece of trash.”

Ivanna turned scarlet. Almost mad with fury, she wrapped her arm around Daryl’s. “Hubby, settle the bill and show it to these beggars. It’s only 300,000 dollars. You can earn it back in two to three months!”

As it was, Daryl remained indifferent. His brows furrowed while his expression darkened more and more.

“That’s enough.” Daryl flung Ivanna’s hand away. “I won’t pay 300,000 dollars to get you some bullsh*t jewellery.”

Ivanna widened her eyes in surprise. “What do you mean, Daryl? It was you who promised to get me jewelry.”

Daryl replied, “Well, I can change my mind, can’t I?”

“You!” Ivanna’s eyes reddened.

Everyone was looking at her differently. Their eyes were filled with mockery and schadenfreude.

The saleswoman frowned and said, “Please complete the payment within ten minutes. Otherwise, you won’t be able to enjoy the 70% discount.”

Zayn chuckled and said, “So, Mr. Lee, it turns out that you can’t pay 300,000 dollars, huh? Based on your previous remarks, I was still under the impression that you’re a billionaire and 300,000 was nothing for you.”

The corners of Daryl’s lips twitched. He was truly irked by Zayn’s mockery. He wanted to refute it, but he could not think of anything to say. It was his own fault for being so boastful before.

“Hmph, It’s just that I forgot to bring the card with the money. Do you think I can’t afford 300,000?” Daryl continued to bluff.

“Ah? So may I please inquire as to how much money there is on the card you just used? Could it be that a huge business owner like you doesn't even have 70000 dollars? Hah-hah!”

Daryl was so infuriated by Zayn that he could not stop himself from saying, “Of course I have 70,000 dollars! There’s 150,000 dollars on this card!”

Cunningly, Zayn immediately said, “That’s right. It seems that you’re still quite wealthy if there’s 150,000 dollars on any bank card that you grab.”

“Of course I am!”

Daryl did not realize that he had been trapped until he heard Zayn say, “Please honor your earlier words then, Mr. Lee. Since you could not make the payment, please compensate me for the loss of the discount. It’s not much. Just a little over 80,000 dollars. We’re all friends, so I’ll round it down for you. You only need to pay 80,000.” Zayn smiled maliciously.

Daryl’s heart immediately started racing. He cursed himself for being fooled. That brat Zayn had entrapped him!

“Uh…” Daryl hesitated. There was no way he would throw away 80,000 dollars like that.

Zayn continued to speak, “Could it be that you can’t even pay 80,000 dollars despite being so wealthy?”

The scoundrel was really ruthless with his mockery. When had Daryl ever been humiliated like this? His face turned green with rage as he scolded, “You have no shame.” He then charged out of the jewellery store in a disheveled state. He was in such a rush that he tripped at the door as he left. He tumbled to the ground with a loud thud and drew a clamor of laughter from the people in the store. He had made an enormous fool of himself.

Ivanna’s face was ghastly. She had never expected that the situation would end up like this. The feeling of intense shame spread through her entire body and she was trembling uncontrollably.

She was especially triggered by Faye’s piteous appearance, shattering her fragile ego like glass. She bawled aloud and fled in a flurry of panic without even a word of farewell.

The corners of Zayn’s lips curled upward ever so slightly. He managed to display his masculinity to Faye at long last. He believed that Faye’s impression would definitely change this time, right?

The saleswoman said to Zayn cautiously, “Mr. Larson, do you still wish to proceed with the purchase of these two necklaces?”

“Yes, I do. Why wouldn’t I?”

“This is the issue, Mr. Larson. Due to the withdrawal of one party, you won’t be able to get the 70% discount deal. You may only purchase it at its original price, so the total of these two diamond necklaces is 399,900 dollars…”

Zayn nodded and said, “Hmm, 399,900 dollars then. I’ll pay by card.”

“You’ve already paid 300,000, so you only need to pay an additional 99,900 dollars now.” The saleswoman’s heart was racing. She was amazed to have encountered this super-wealthy man.

The rest of the sales team were very envious of her.

However, the cue tone signaled that the payment failed when Zayn attempted to pay again.

Huh? What was going on? He had 3 million dollars on his card.

Only then did he realize that he had used the wrong card. He had given the card he got from Faye which coincidentally had 300,000 dollars on it. Moreover, the passwords of both cards were his birth date.

Just as he was about to switch to the other card, Faye spoke, “Zayn, must you embarrass me like this?”

Zayn immediately knew he was in trouble as soon as he saw Faye’s terrifying expression. He hastily explained, “Listen to me, Faye. This is a misunderstanding, I took the wrong card. I still have the other card with…”

“That’s enough!” Faye shouted, nearly hysterical. The volume of her voice even drew the attention of the tourists outside.

“I did everything I could to get 300,000 dollars from the Carters as monetary compensation for you in the divorce, but you still want to humiliate me?” Faye’s eyes reddened as she stared straight at Zayn.

Zayn was terrified and he panicked. “Fifi, listen to me. I can explain. I’m genuinely not trying to humiliate you. I just used the wrong card. There’s three million dollars on this card!”

Faye glared at Zayn with a cold, disgusted gaze. “Being married to you is worse than being married to a dog!”

Zayn’s entire body shook violently. A stinging pain radiated through his torso and he felt like he could not breathe. Faye’s remark was akin to a sharp blade that had plunged savagely into his chest!

His face was ghastly pale, yet he still managed to force a smile. “Fifi, I’m begging you not to speak this way because if there comes a day when you realize that you misunderstood me, you’ll be very sad…”

    Zayn was smiling, but his face was more contorted than if he had been crying. The entire scene was ghastly quiet and the spectators were stunned. What was happening?Many people sensed the hurt Zayn felt in his heart at that moment, and they were sympathetic toward him. Conversely, Faye was just as cold as before. In fact, she assumed Zayn was putting on an act, so she was even more disgusted by him. “Don’t worry. I won’t ever be saddened by you for the rest of my life!”Zayn lowered his head and found himself shedding tears uncontrollably. Faye sneered without showing the slightest sympathy. Her final words were, “I’ll be waiting for you at the divorce attorney’s office.” She spoke coldly and quickly left, stomping away in her heels. After a while, the salesperson asked cautiously, “Mr. Larson, would you like to continue with the purchase?”She dared not speak louder as if it might shatter Zayn. The feeling that Zayn exuded was that of extremely fragile glass that would break

    He began to regret coming there. He would not have done so if he had known that Thomas had offended the Larsons. Noticing his bewilderment, Faye clenched her teeth and said, “Ethan, even you can't figure out a way to save my brother, can you?”“Yes, Ethan, you’re so resourceful, but you can’t save Tommy?” Ruby asked anxiously. Waine heaved a sigh and said sorrowfully, “The Larsons are the first family of Waltz City with influence beyond comparison. Let’s not trouble Ethan anymore. A son's bad behavior is due to his father's negligence. It’s my fault for not raising Tommy well. Now that he’s in trouble, it’s my burden to bear. I’m going to pay a visit to the Larsons and offer my apologies. I’ll wait outside and apologize in hope that my actions will move them!”An idea came into Ethan’s mind. He smacked his thigh and said, “Don’t worry, Fifi, Mr. Carter, Mrs. Carter. I won’t allow myself to stand aside and do nothing! I still have a certain status in Waltz City, if I say so myself

    It was true that Adrian was a Larson, but he was the bastard son of a mistress. He did not have much authority in the family, and his share of the annual profits was also far less than the sons born to legitimate wives. On the other hand, Zayn was a son born of a legal wife, so he was a true heir to the Larsons!Before Zayn was kicked out of the Larson family, Adrian had been of a lower status and he would treat Zayn respectfully, never doing anything above his station. More specifically, Adrian would never take a seat when Zayn was standing, and when Zayn was seated, Adrian would never lie down. Anything else would have been seen as disrespectful!Technically, Zayn had been kicked out of the Larson family and lost his status, so Adrian did not need to defer to him anymore. However, Adrian had to respect Zayn even more now! It was because Zayn’s innocence had been proven, so he would return to the Larsons sooner or later. Most importantly, his grandfather transferred 70 percent of hi

    “That’s my duty as a close friend of Fifi’s after all. When she’s in trouble, I can’t be cowardly trying to hide just to save myself, right? Hah-hah,” said Ethan in an eccentric manner while casting a telling glance at Zayn, openly mocking him. Zayn immediately furrowed his brows upon hearing that. Ethan had no shame. Did Thomas being saved have anything to do with him?“Ethan, that whole thing had nothing to do with you, did it?” Zayn could not refrain himself from saying. Ethan immediately burst out laughing aloud. “Hah-hah, could it be that it had nothing to do with me but had something to do with you? Could it be that Adrian was not showing respect to me but you, Zayn? That’s a huge joke!”Ruby kicked Zayn from behind and yelled, “Shut up Zayn, you imbecile! It was fine that you cravenly clung to life and hid at the side when Tommy was in trouble. Now that Tommy was saved by Ethan, how dare you still make bitter remarks? You’re a shameless assh*le!”Zayn almost fell from the

He could never forget how Jordan looked at him on that night, like he was less than a dog!Four years had passed since and by the mercy of God, his grandfather regained consciousness prior to his death. He cleared Zayn’s name and transferred his fortune to him. It gave him a chance to seek revenge on the Larsons!Zayn did not wish to do this initially, but that day’s incident had been a crushing blow to him. Faye’s misunderstanding of him had only deepened, especially after Ethan took advantage of their vulnerability and invaded their family. Zayn was worried that if he were to allow this situation to develop, Faye would truly be deceived by Ethan. It was something that he found hard to accept.

    George was a man who cared a great deal about his reputation. Every year, he would throw a party for his birthday that everyone in his family, both young and old, was obliged to attend. Previously, his vanity would only allow that the feast be held in a five-star hotel with a grand setup, but the family business was doing so poorly this year. There were too many major financial losses, so he could only throw the party in an old three-star hotel. He was too embarrassed to invite the other business owners in his circle and dispensed all unnecessary formalities. By the time Faye and her family arrived, the vast majority of the Carter family was already there. Because they showed up last, they were immediately criticized. “What’s wrong with all of you? You arrive last every year. Don’t you know that everybody else is waiting on you?”George cast an unkind glance as well. It was his 70th birthday this year, so he was supposed to throw a grand party and invite everyone. Instead, he coul

    “Yes, of course. Could it be that I’m lying to you?” George laughed aloud heartily and said, “Tell me, what is your request?”Ethan sniggered twice. Looking toward Faye, he got down on one knee and shouted aloud, “Mr. Carter, I have only one request. I hope that Mr. Carter is willing to betroth Faye to me!”His voice echoed through the entire room, reverberating in the air. Everyone could feel the longing in his heart. Faye’s charming face blushed scarlet at once. Ethan’s actions threw her into a flurry of panic, and she was at a loss as to what to do. Frankly, Ethan had been pursuing her for many years. She never had feelings for Ethan, and the most she could say was that she found him tolerable. Nevertheless, after witnessing Ethan doing everything he could to save Thomas from Adrian two days ago, she was touched. Any woman would fall for a powerful, masculine man. Ethan’s strength gave her a sense of security that she had never experienced before. Conversely, Zayn was far wors

There were no Larsons in George’s social circle. “It’s the Larson family, the most influential one in Waltz City!” said the person delivering the message. His face had turned scarlet and his body was shivering with anticipation. “What?”George was bewildered. In his panic, he knocked over a plate in front of him and it crashed onto his foot. The pain was excruciating, but he had other things on his mind. He widened his eyes and said, “Chase! Is this a mistake? Is that person genuinely one of the Larsons, the first family of Waltz City?”Chase gulped and nodded vigorously. He said with unprecedented seriousness, “Grandpa, I’m 100% positive!”George hissed as he inhaled deeply. The rest of the family felt like they were in a dream as well. They could not believe that this was real, and it took a long time for them to recover

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

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.

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.

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.

    “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.

    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.

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.
