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
He had every confidence that he could do it. As for Zayn? Zayn was but a clown making a fool of himself. He had looked into Zayn’s assets some time ago. With the combination of Violet Vision Media Corp, Leap League Advertising Agency, Siren Security Co., and all the funds that Zayn could mobilize, the man was in possession of a little over 400 million dollars. Zayn had overestimated his capabilities!Moreover, Zayn had already spent 150 million dollars earlier so he had only about 300 million dollars left. Dagon wanted to make him spend the remaining 300 million so he would end up with nothing. After considering this matter, Dagon’s expression was much more pleasant. “Trying to take me on? I’ll bankrupt you.” Dagon sneered. He was quite sure of himself. Soon enough, the third charity project was up for donation. It was related to disaster area construction. Many people realized that this was one of the highlights of the night’s charity gala because disaster area construction
Dagon took Zayn’s silence as an obvious sign that he was chickening out and the corners of his lips quirked up higher as he gloated, scoffing victoriously.So what if Zayn killed Mia and became the best in Guineve? He was unable to compare to Dagon in terms of wealth. Moreover, Dagon had recruited Diego as the vice president. He did not have to fret about Zayn with regard to his martial prowess.As long as he had Zayn quashed this time, the latter’s reputation would suffer big time after this. That would be when the Northmob Council rose again!Dagon could not help being thrilled at the picture of his imagination. Truthfully, the Northmob Council had done its fair share of evil, but so what? Those issues would be resolved naturally once he won the title of charity ambassador tonight.Sean and Gordon were alarmed. If Zayn failed to receive the status of the charity ambassador tonight, the 400 million dollars he had donated previously would go down the drain. Both of them got worri
Dagon was disgruntled at how Zayn was acting. He raised his brows twice, thinking that Zayn was blustering and putting up an act when he was near his ends, so he replied loudly, “Haha, compete with you? It’s not that I look down on you, but are you even qualified? Will you be able to produce that much money to compete with me? Let me tell you, I plan to donate 1.24 billion dollars tonight. If you can donate more than that, you’re the charity ambassador tonight.”1.24 billion dollars! To the guests, the sum dropped like a bomb as everyone gasped with widened eyes and looked at Dagon in reverence and admiration.1.24 billion dollars was not a small amount! It could already acquire many companies. The Northmob Council was really affluent!Right away, that shifted everyone’s impression of Dagon. In comparison, Zayn had no place next to him.That was right. Dagon was no rival against Zayn in terms of martial arts, but Zayn was similarly not Dagon’s opponent in terms of wealth. Moreover,
