“Mr. Larson…”Zayn stood up and said, “Noted. Let’s go and attend the charity gala now.”Half an hour later, Zayn, Sean, and the other administrative officers arrived at the event’s venue. Sean was not exaggerating how grand the gala would be. The big shots from different sectors were there and also quite a large number of celebrities. When Zayn appeared, he drew the attention of countless people who all turned their heads to catch a glimpse of him. “Mr. Larson is here.”“Mr. Larson has such a charismatic presence and I can see that he’s a cut above at one glance. It’s truly our honor to be acquainted with him.”“It goes without saying that Mr. Larson is the pride of Waltz City. He’s already a master fighter at such a young age.”“Cheers, Mr. Larson!”“Mr. Larson…”Soon, many people walked over and attempted to flatter him. The lovely ladies were constantly winking at him and leaning against his body. They wished that they could devote themselves to him. Zayn was accus
Zayn was rather shocked by this.There were very few local master fighters and even fewer around the entire world. How could he be encountering another one so soon?Moreover, was this man already a final class master fighter? In other words, had he already unlocked 20% of his brain’s capacity?It was terrifying!Nicole and Danny from the Insurgent Trifecta had just come to meet him, saying they wanted to recruit him because there were so few masters left in the country. Nevertheless, yet another one had made an appearance.Zayn’s muscles tensed up after staring at the man, and he could sense a destructive aura coming from him. This newcomer could massacre all of the guests in no time if he wished to do so.As Zayn watched Diego, he returned his stare and cracked a telling smile at him. Zayn immediately knew that the man was targeting him.When Dagon appeared, the atmosphere went into a momentary silence. All at once, everyone shifted their gaze to him and Zayn. They were ver
“F*ck me, when did Dagon become so bold? He wants to pick a fight with Zayn so brazenly!”“That can’t be. Dagon is just a highly skilled fighter. The most formidable member of the Northmob Council has already been beaten to death by Zayn. How does he think he can match him?”“That’s something that you don’t know about yet. I heard Dagon recruited an elite fighter a few days ago to take Xander’s place as the vice president of the Northmob Council. That’s why he dares to challenge Zayn so openly.”“For real? We’re in for a good show in a while then…”Sean and Gordon’s expressions changed drastically at once, and they appeared extremely grim. Dagon’s behavior was akin to a ferocious slap on their faces. How could men of their temperaments put up with it? They were about to express their anger, but Zayn’s eyes suddenly shifted. He took a step forward and stared at Dagon with a terrifying glint flickering in his pupils. Instantly, Dagon heard a hum in his head and everything went blac
Zayn had swiftly returned to his normal demeanor. He stared at Diego coldly and said in a deep voice, “Who are you?”The corners of Diego’s lips curled into a malicious smile. He did not answer Zayn’s question directly but said in a bantering manner, “I was just wondering why that b*tch Lysithea is constantly visiting Guineve, and it turns out that it’s because you’re here. I found a new hobby, tsk, tsk.”His remark reeked of mischief. He looked at Zayn as if the latter was a shiny new toy that he was fiddling with his hands. Zayn let out a cold grunt and uttered ‘pretentious.’ Then, he made a move so fast that over a thousand people on the scene could not figure out exactly what he had done. They watched as his body vanished in a flash. When he reappeared, he was right in front of Diego and aimed a slap at his face as quick as lightning. Diego’s pupils constricted abruptly. He clearly had not expected Zayn to be so bold.Diego could sense the danger when Zayn moved to strike
Paying him no attention, Zayn turned around and left. He walked away calmly, showing his magnanimity and good character. Diego may have been able to give him a run for his money, but nobody would think less of Zayn for withdrawing from the fight. On the contrary, most thought Zayn was being considerate toward the event and the organizer, hence his reluctance to lower himself to Diego’s level. Conversely, Diego seemed to be making a disgrace of himself. His expression gradually turned grim as he watched Zayn depart. He felt bloodlust building in his heart. Soon afterward, he sniggered and said, “B*stard, now that I’ve discovered you, you won’t be able to escape. Lysithea, I have a hold on you now. I wonder how you will react when you find out that I’ve killed him? I hope that your Hera Physique is still intact, or I’ll make this b*stard suffer so much he’d wish he’s dead. Tsk, tsk.”Standing next to Zayn, Sean asked cautiously, “Mr. Larson, who was that? He must be strong if he’s
Zayn was rather astonished by Sean’s remark. He had looked into the title of charity ambassador in advance and found that it was much sought after, but he did not expect it would be so useful that it was akin to diplomatic immunity.“So the title of charity ambassador plays such a huge role, huh?” Zayn asked in confusion. No wonder he was rather suspicious of the country’s frequent charity events. He would see so many charity programs on the television all the time. Philanthropic acts were supposed to be voluntary. Logically, the identity of a charity ambassador should not be that important. Seeing Zayn’s confusion, Sean hastily explained, “There’s more to it than meets the eye, Mr. Larson. The charity gala tonight is organized by the government. Not only Guineve, but many renowned entrepreneurs from the south are here as well. Most importantly, the country went through a few catastrophic events in recent years, resulting in many causes in need of funds. It’s especially crucial
“Zayn Larson? Forget about him. He’s impressive when it comes to fighting and he’s number one in Guineve, but ten Zayn’s are still no match for the Northmob Council when it comes to comparing wealth.”“That makes sense too…”There was a sudden cacophony of voices coming from all around. More than half of the people gave up on the idea of becoming the charity ambassador after hearing Dagon’s donation. After all, they were not as rich as the Northmob Council. It was not an auction where they were bidding for material goods or anything of the sort. It was a charity event where the money spent would only build one’s reputation. Dagon looked proud when heard the shock and clamoring of the other guests. He was the star of the show, and the title of charity ambassador was imperative for him under such circumstances. Soon, he turned to Zayn, glaring at him contemptuously.He acknowledged that Zayn was a gifted man. Not only was he an incredible fighter, but he was also a talented bu
Hissssss!After a deathly silence that lasted three seconds, the sound of people inhaling sharply could be heard coming from all around. Almost everyone widened their eyes in surprise, staring at Zayn incredulously. It was apparent that they were startled by the number he called out. It was 150 million dollars!It did not make sense. More than half of the attendees could not even make 150 million dollars in a year!In addition, it was just the second charity project and there were still a dozen more to come. Had Zayn lost his mind?Many assumed Zayn would make a higher donation than Dagon during the first charity project, but he only gave four million dollars. Given that, most of them assumed Zayn had already accepted his defeat by the second project and would only donate a few million at most. They never expected he would donate 150 million dollars. He was relentless.The host was a little shocked as well. He was stunned for a moment before he asked Zayn, “I’m sorry, Mr
