“I’ll donate…”As the host made the announcement, people began to offer their contribution, amassing nearly billions of dollars shortly!The sum was considerably large in the charity world. In combination with the charity projects before this, the total amount had surpassed 4.5 billion dollars.Swiftly, again, Dagon and Zayn were the ones left who had yet to donate. Everyone trained their eyes on both of them.The host asked, “Mr. Bones, Mr. Larson, may I know how much both of you plan to contribute?”Dagon had donated 2.5 million dollars more than Zayn, totaling 1 billion and 326.5 million dollars, which was already two years’ worth of income from all the projects the Northmob Council had. Just thinking about pouring all that money in as a donation hurt Dagon’s heart!If it were not for Zayn who had poked his head in, he would not even have to spend that much money. The person who came in third for donating the most had only donated some hundred million, damn it!Nevertheless,
1.6 billion dollars! What in the world!?Everyone there was fully cognizant of the fact that this was a sum an average person would not be able to go through in ten lifetimes—scratch that, 20 lifetimes or even 30, given the exorbitant amount!However, Zayn had mentioned it in passing, and he was not bidding for a precious gem at an auction but simply contributing it as a donation.What was more startling was that adding the 1 billion and 324 million dollars he had donated earlier, he had pledged a total of 2 billion and 824 million dollars!No one dared imagine the shock factor of it, so the hall was filled with silence. It was as if the pause button was hit. Not only were the people quiet, but it was also eerily silent. They were still staring at Zayn with dropped jaws and widened eyes.Even Dagon was surprised by Zayn. It was ridiculous. This was 2.8 billion dollars, a fifth of his Northmob Council’s worth, and Zayn was just dishing it out like that? Goodness!Dagon had seen pl
Snapping out of his stupor, Dagon gloated again. That was right. Zayn Larson was a fraudulent donor—the higher the sum he called out, the harsher the penalty he would have to face. Once Zayn was unable to pay 2 billion and 824 million dollars, he was doomed. The title of the charity ambassador was still going to be his, Dagon thought to himself and laughed inwardly.Sean and Gordon were panicking as they did not expect Zayn to go to this extent. With cold sweat breaking out across their foreheads, they felt like pins and needles were stabbing them all over.Nevertheless, Zayn could still chuckle as he replied, “Of course, I’ll be able to pay up. It’s less than 3 billion dollars—it’s not like it’s terribly a lot.”Just listen to what he said—what a brag! Would it kill him to not show off? This was basically on everyone’s minds at that very moment.Dagon guffawed while saying with a finger pointed at Zayn, “Zayn Larson! Since you’re such a boast who doesn’t think that 3 billion dolla
The transfer was actually successful!The moment felt unreal to everyone as if they were dreaming. It was not so much that they had never seen such a hefty amount of money but more because all of them did not think that Zayn could donate that much money, especially when the sum was not for the purchase of an auctioned treasure or the acquisition of a company but was a donation. The impact was unprecedentedly strong.Dagon was frozen on the spot. He appeared funny when various expressions flitted across his face in an instant while he dared not believe that this was real. He was determined to be titled the charity ambassador tonight and had forked out all he had—an alarming 1.34 billion dollars—for the said title! Now, that title was gone. This meant that he had spent 1.34 billion dollars in vain as it had all gone down the drain!He could not accept such a sudden change of events. It caused him to lose his mind in a split second as he pounced at Zayn with reddened eyes and a menac
The state legislator did not have the slightest care for Dagon’s plea as he ordered with a cold expression, “Take him away.”Men came swiftly to seize Dagon. Despite the four of them not being his rival in martial arts, Dagon dared not fight back at all. After all, a slight resistance would truly throw him into unsalvageable depths.The Northmob Council was strong, but it was not on the same level as the state legislator.Dagon was extremely regretful now. If he had known, he would not have stepped out just now no matter what. This was a double whammy for him—not only had he lost 1.34 billion dollars, but he had also infuriated the state legislator. His loss was immeasurable!Initially, even when Dagon had donated 1.34 billion dollars but failed to win the title of charity ambassador, he could at least leave a good impression with the authorities. Now? He had gotten nothing!He continued to plead and was close to getting down on his knees, but the state legislator ignored him, eve
Zayn was stunned as well. He was surprised that the state legislator would extend his invitation like this. After all, the man’s status was extraordinary.This man in front of him had a profound background. If Zayn could forge connections with the state legislator, his status would rise accordingly as well.There was no hesitation from Zayn as the thought was but a flash in his head. He quickly agreed with a smile. “I’d better comply than feign refusal since you’ve invited me, sir.”The state legislator chuckled aloud, looking immensely delighted.Half an hour later, Zayn arrived at an older residential area and was astonished upon entering the old man’s house. He had not imagined the state legislator to live in such a humble abode. He had to somehow stay in a massive mansion given his status!The elder noticed Zayn’s surprise and asked with a smile, “Hmm? Are you surprised that I’m staying here?”Zayn nodded honestly.“Heh, heh.” The state legislator chuckled and answered, “It’
The state legislator was only in his sixties now, but his hair was white with wrinkles lining his face. He looked more like an old man in his seventies. Even when he was aged, what he said was still deafeningly mind blowing. Such a voice of justice resonated in the land. Zayn was dumbstruck.Then, the elder did something that flabbergasted Zayn. He put his hands in front of himself and bowed deeply at Zayn, saying, “Mr. Larson, on behalf of the people hurting, I thank you tonight. Thank you for your donation of 2 billion and 824 million dollars!”Alarmed, Zayn quickly stood up and supported the state legislator. “No, that can't be done, sir. You’re regarding me too highly!”The elder chuckled. “Mr. Larson, it’s the fortune of Guineve’s people to have an exemplary young man like you.”Embarrassed by the compliment, Zayn scratched his head. “Sir, to be honest, I didn’t make the donation entirely for the charity. I came for the charity ambassador title. After all, I have killed a few
Within the blink of an eye, three days had passed.Zayn seemed to be rather relaxed during the past few days. However, he did not lower his guard at all because he knew that Diego would be coming after him very soon.At that moment, Zayn was already the charity ambassador. Therefore, Diego would have to reconsider it if he really wanted to kill Zayn!‘I doubt Sicut In Caelo is powerful enough to be able to go directly up against the authorities. However, whatever it is, the most important thing is to ensure that I’m strong enough.‘He’s a fourth dan master fighter, so I won’t have a huge chance of defeating him since I’m in my third dan. It’s only a matter of time before I have to have a death match with Diego. So, the better I’m prepared, the higher my chances of winning are.’With that in mind, Zayn had placed most of his focus on his training the past few days. He continuously simulated how his fight with Diego could go in his head, thus reducing the possibility of him making a
