Author: Draco C.
last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56
Jake Lewis was a university graduate hailed from a rural backwater. Ten years ago, he was a wide-eyed idealist with a big ambition nestled in his bosom. He went to Waltz City and believed that he would build something grand from hard work and intellect.

But reality was a cruel mistress, and she was especially harsh to the quixotic. Jake suffered nothing but failures and setbacks since joining the big city until every ounce of his passion had been snuffed out. He gave up—two years ago, he suffered from an investment catastrophe that landed him in a bed of thorny debt. There had been many moments when he wanted to give up and just let the current of life take him, but he could not when he had a wife and children waiting for him. He had to soldier on. Problem was, at this age, he had nothing special to him anymore. All he had was hard labor. It was not the sort that could generate fast income.

Then, four months ago, he saw an advertisement, searching for a cleaner. He was to be paid $20

    Receiving their hero’s compliment made the men feel even prouder of themselves, and they puffed their chests even higher.Kenneth managed to shatter the feel-good moment, though. With an icy sneer, he scowled at Zayn and the Rheasians with the snarling ferocity of a monster and cocked his head to the side. “You think… That a bunch of Rheasina weaklings like yourselves would have anything to stand up against us? You really want to die so badly?”All twenty-odd foreigners had begun to surround Zayn, Jake, and the rest, their eyes brimming with hostility.Jake and his coworkers showed fear. Admittedly, the foreigners dwarfed them so much that the Rheasians and the foreigners belonged to two separate classes altogether.They gulped, clearly in fear. Smith and Kenneth took a few steps toward them and scanned the Rheasians with scorn until they finally rested on Zayn. “Rheasian weaklings. You’re of an inferior race! And you think you can fight against our noble race?”“You Rheasians sho

    Smith, Kenneth, and his ilk took in the fear and anxiety in these people’s faces in delight. The jeers grew as much as their contempt ballooned.Zayn sighed quietly to himself, realizing that most of his compatriots still held deep-seated fear toward these foreigners. How could they not when the latter was so much larger than them? But he was not going to give up, oh no. To him, it meant that the responsibilities on his shoulders had multiplied. He would have to change this!He turned to his people with fire and edge in his eyes. “Don’t be afraid, all of you. With me around, these foreigners won’t be able to lay a finger on you at all. I want all of you to be brave; we’re not the same race they beat up a hundred years ago now. We have arisen! We don’t need to be afraid of them anymore!”Zayn’s impassioned speech managed to assuage many of their fears, but their faith in Zayn was still lacking. “Um, Boss, tell me you summoned some help before you came here?”The others’ eyes shone w

    The Rheasians standing behind Zayn could feel the pressure before Kenneth’s attack even arrived. Blood had escaped their faces as they stumbled backward, their hearts threatening to stop as fear tightened its grip around their chests.Zayn did not move despite the attack. He remained still, as though he was so shocked, he could not move anymore. No dodging, no side-stepping. Kenneth smirked, confident that a punch drawing two thousands pounds of force—nearly ninety-percent of his strength—could snap Zayn’s neck like a twig.Smith and the rest were excited too. They were sure Zayn was going down.Thump!The punch had connected—and Kenneth was stunned. The last time he fought with Zayn, he remembered his opponent being fast enough to evade him. So why did he not? What was going on?Jake and the rest watched Zayn’s face bracing the full brunt of the attack, their hearts sinking. There was no hope.Of course that was not the case; in fact, it was even more bizarre. Zayn remained in h

    No one would have thought Zayn could defeat Kenneth before this played out. It would have been ludicrous to suggest that when one compared their size—Kenneth was like a lion while Zayn had the imposing stature of a rabbit. And yet, it turned out that Zayn not only could take a ceaseless fusillade of punches from the lion-like Kenneth without any injury, but also threw a punch at the latter so hard that the poor man flew backward and out of consciousness.When the room trained their eyes on the evident dent on Kenneth’s chest, the same question leaped to everyone’s mind: how the hell was he supposed to survive that?Zayn did not pull his punches this time. Even if Kenneth managed to survive, he would have to live his life crippled and defective.Jake and the rest of his compatriots gulped in disbelief. It was happening. This was all real. And it completely, utterly, flew at the face of what they knew about the world.Zayn, meanwhile, espied the intensifying fear on the foreigners’ f

    Zayn had never felt so alive and gleeful since he walked the path of being the best fighter. Not even killing Xander nor Mia had been as ecstatic as this.“Stop it, Rheasian! F**king stop it! Stoooooop!” the foreign transhuman screamed as he chased Zayn around. There were a few times when it felt as though he was close to stopping Zayn, but the invincible man always dodged it with his impossibly nimble maneuver.All twenty-off foreigners were felled, one by one. No one could withstand a single one of Zayn’s attacks. Some of them were being smacked so hard they crashed onto the wall and caused it to collapse.Kenneth woke up from his brief spell of unconsciousness and watched it unfold with his face turning whiter and whiter. His fear was so gripping that it numbed him from the pain flaring all over parts of his body.“God help me, Satan’s here,” he mumbled to himself. To these foreigners, Zayn was nothing but Satan himself.By the time Zayn stopped, every single foreigner was dead

    The entire scene was deathly silent. The foreign transhuman died before Jake and the others. His sinister appearance left behind an impression that could not be erased in their minds. They looked at Zayn now with a feeling that could no longer be described with the word ‘shocked’. In the gigantic arena, only the Rheasians were left standing while the 26 bodies lying on the ground were all foreigners. Zayn adjusted his breathing ever so slightly. Despite doing something so shocking earlier that appeared to be a lot of work and exhausting, not much of his energy was drained in truth. In fact, his shirt was all clean now as if he just did something trivial. He was troubled by the sight of Jake and the others being terrified. He realized that his action earlier had perhaps scared these bunch of ordinary people.Hence, he cracked a smile as gentle as the breeze in the spring. He chuckled and said, “There’s no need to be afraid, they deserve their punishment.”Upon hearing Zayn’s

    “Hold on, isn’t this man Wales Delon who entered our country some time ago? He is a master fighter too and he killed quite a number of people sometime ago yet he is killed by Zayn now?”“Let’s not discuss further but report to our superior quickly!”The man and woman dressed in military attire reported to their superior. By the time specialized staff members were sent to handle the situation, Zayn was already on his way home. He took action and killed so many foreigners so boldly at one time because he could count on his connections naturally. In reality, it would not be an issue for him to kill a few foreigners in view of his identity. It was considered a meritorious service to a certain extent even. He did not feel anything different in his heart after handling the matter in this manner. He waited until Faye got off work and headed to pick her up in advance. Then, they enjoyed a candlelight dinner outside and shopped around the mall. When it was time, they went home. It was

    In order to express his sincerity, Fabian came to visit Zayn with his entire family. Almost all the prominent people in the Owen family were here. On the other hand, they waited for an hour upon their arrival yet Zayn still had not come to meet them. It could be said that Zayn did not bother to show them any respect at all. At last, a young man who just returned to the country not long ago was displeased. He smacked the table and scolded furiously, “How dare this Larson guy be so arrogant that he still hasn’t come to attend us after letting us wait for over an hour!”Someone chimed in immediately, obviously displeased by saying, “Wesley is right. This Zayn guy is too presumptuous! He really thinks that he’s someone important, isn’t he. Our family members are here to pay him a visit and it’s considered the greatest showcase of our respect for him. Yet, he still has the audacity to take his sweet time. This is absurd!”These two people had just recently returned to the country afte

    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

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.
