Mr. Hyde was so nervous that his forehead was drenched in cold sweat. His face that had just regained its color earlier began to turn ghastly pale in the meantime. As for the rest, they had the same reaction as well. Shuddering in fear, they were extremely afraid of Diego now. However, there was nothing they could do because Diego was so powerful that he left an impression in their minds that could not be erased. However, even if they were afraid of Diego, they would not go against Mr. Hyde’s orders. Zayn was touched by Mr. Hyde’s action. He cracked a smile and said nonchalantly, “Don’t panic. I’ve already made a breakthrough, so Diego is no match for me now.”He made the statement calmly without exerting any domineeringness or heroic spirit. He said it as if he was narrating a truth such as how a man would die from not breathing. Upon hearing that, Mr. Hyde was stunned at once and was in disbelief. On the other hand, Diego reacted as if he just heard the funniest joke upon
Diego’s expression changed once again. In an instant, the feeling that Zayn was undefeatable arose in his heart. After resting and recuperating for an hour, he had already regained 90% of his power, yet while being confronted by Zayn now, he could actually feel immense pressure. As for the few people from the Northmob Council standing behind him, they seemed even worse. Their faces were ghastly pale as their minds went blank and they lost their consciousness in an instant. Diego did not fall back. He chose to brace Zayn’s attack head-on because he refused to believe that the latter could be so powerful! It had only been one short hour, yet he managed to remove all the toxins in his body. Unfortunately, he immediately regretted it when he exchanged attacks with Zayn. One punch from Zayn was enough to break his defense. The explosive force of Zayn’s punch jarred his arms until his arms started to tremble. “How does the b*stard have so much strength?”Diego was deeply shocked.
The storm-like overbearingness halted to a stop. Diego was lying prone on the ground, not budging at all. A crystal clear handprint could be seen on his back while his clothes were torn into pieces by the impact of the slap such that his upper body was naked. Zayn exerted every bit of strength when he delivered the slap. Diego’s body was made of flesh and bones, but even if he was slapping a piece of fine steel, the fine steel would have been indented by his slap!Hence, Diego was severely injured and lost all his fighting capacity when he was struck.Zayn inhaled a long, deep breath to recuperate and soon returned to his peak form. He peered down at Diego from above and said coldly, “It’s over for you, Diego.”Diego was still not budging as if he was dead. He was not even breathing. Another person in Zayn’s place might possibly have been deceived by Diego, but not Zayn. It would not be an exaggeration to describe Zayn’s eyes as supremely sharp and sensitive. When he checked if
Diego’s body shook violently, as though he were on the brink of going insane. He clenched his fists so tight that his nails were digging into his skin. He stared daggers at Zayn before exclaiming, “That’s enough! I am the…”Bam! Zayn sent a kick flying directly at Diego’s face, causing the latter to fly backwards because of it.“You’re talking too much, I won’t repeat myself again,” said Zayn as he stared at Diego coldly. ‘There’s no need for me to go easy on a person like him. If it wasn’t for the fact that Lysithea had sacrificed herself to train with me in an attempt to turn the situation around, we’d be in a worse place than we are right now. Diego would be torturing us to no end.’Diego was fuming in the head, feeling extremely aggrieved. In fact, he was starting to regret his actions. ‘If I’d known, I wouldn’t have been so arrogant and dealt with Zayn myself. Instead, I should’ve reported it to the organization and have them send more men. Sh*t, that’d have been so much better
When Zayn returned to headquarters, where Mr. Hyde was waiting for him. Despite Mr. Hyde being severely injured, he managed to bounce back from his critical condition. After ingesting Revitalizol, he was back on his feet in no time at all. It was a show of how immensely potent Revitalizol truly was.At that moment, Mr. Hyde looked extremely nervous. He immediately approached Zayn when he saw the latter arrive. Then, he asked, “Young Master, you’re back. Where’s Diego?”Zayn calmly said, “I killed him.”‘Phew…”When Mr. Hyde heard the news, he exhaled a long-awaited sigh of relief. He rejoiced happily, “He’s finally dead, this works greatly in our favor!”Zayn revealed a faint smile, but there was not a trace of arrogance or excitement that was contained within it. He was unaffected, almost as if he felt indifferent about taking Diego’s life. It meant nothing to him.Then, Zayn sized up the house. No matter how hard he looked, the lady in red was nowhere to be found. After searchi
On the other hand, when Zayn heard Annabelle’s name, he could not help but be taken aback. ‘Isn’t she the celebrity from Black Athens Media Corp?’Actually, Annabelle seemed to admire Zayn quite a great deal.Plus, when Zayn noticed that Faye seemed slightly tempted, he figured that she was likely a fan, which made him feel even stranger.Faye weighed her options before she answered, “Umm… Can I bring a plus one with me to dinner?”Julius very generously nodded his head and said, “Sure, I’ll welcome anyone. As long as they’re your friend, Ms. Carter.”Then, the other woman questioned curiously, “Fifi, who are you planning to bring with you?”With that, all eyes were on Faye.At that moment, an aura of pure bliss radiated off of Faye’s face. Smiling, she chirped enthusiastically, “I want to bring my husband with me.”“What?” The woman was stunned, while Julius was utterly dumbfounded. His lips creased into a deep frown.“Fifi… You’re married? That can’t be right, I’ve never hea
The moment Zayn saw their expressions, he immediately knew what they were thinking. Despite how thick-skinned Zayn was, he could not help but turn a beetroot red. How mortifying!However, Zayn still took the initiative to greet all of them for Faye’s sake. He introduced himself, “Hello, I’m Zayn Larson—Faye’s husband?”Despite him behaving very politely, the others simply ignored him.However, it was not because they did not respect Zayn, but because he looked like a trainwreck. He looked like the complete opposite of how Faye had described him moments ago.Julius scrutinized everything about Zayn. He was already convinced that he had no chance of winning her over. Her husband was incredibly wealthy and highly-regarded, and someone who he could not afford to offend. However, after seeing Zayn in such a sordid and disheveled state, he figured he still had a fighting chance.‘Even if Faye’s already married, I’d enjoy fooling around with her from time to time. After all, sleeping wit
”Haha, that’s a given. I know he’s the chairman of Violet Vision, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone consider tattered rags as a fashion statement.”“Oops, Fifi, don’t get mad. I was just joking.”“She’s right, Fifi. We’re just bantering. You’re not going to get mad, are you? After all, you’re the boss of your very own company.”The two women were brimming with so much malice that it irritated everyone else in the room.Faye bit her lip. It felt like her face was on fire. She was not angry at Zayn for embarrassing her, but it still felt like a slap in the face. After all, she had been showering him with compliments only moments ago. It stung, especially for someone as thin-skinned as Faye.Zayn’s face darkened as he asked, “Is it really that funny?”Zayn’s presence was rather intimidating on its own, but when he glowered at them with such indignation, it was enough to make anybody hold their breath in fear. When faced with such a powerful figure, it was expected that many we
