Zayn squinted his eyes at his appalling offer. No matter how level-headed he was, he could not quash the affronted outrage that consumed him.‘Julius is pushing it way too far! He actually had the nerve to bring up such a shameless proposal. It’s obvious that he’s already done similar things so many other times!’“Julius Butcher, you’re playing with fire. Do you know that?” Zayn commanded his gaze with a collected stoicism, a cool glint in his eyes.Julius instantly left out a mocking snicker as he put his leg down. He leaned forward, staring at Zayn. “Wow, running your mouth now, are you? Faye said that you’re the chairman of Violet Vision, and it looks like you’ve taken that role a little too seriously, haven’t you? Ha-ha-ha…”The other man began to laugh scornfully, as if Julius had just cracked the world’s funniest joke.However, Zayn remained silent.Julius continued, “Hmph, cat got your tongue? I’ll put it this way then—I’m good friends with the chairman of Violet Vision. I
Zayn could not be bothered to point out Julius’ acting. Yes, he had managed to destroy Diego, one of the finest skilled fighters to ever roam the earth, so why would a small thug like Julius be worthy of even having a sliver of his attention? He would just crush Julius to death, minimal effort required. Faye was unaware of what had gone down during her absence, otherwise—knowing her temperament—she would have asked Zayn if they could up and leave.Zayn had to applaud Julius for his impressive acting. He took on a completely different persona when he was around Faye. He was extremely polite and generous. It was going to be impossible to point a flaw out in his facade.Slowly, more and more VIP guests entered the restaurant for the dinner service. Based on the way they dressed and acted, Zayn knew that many of the guests had deep pockets. Moreover, he could tell that they were thrill seekers with expensive tastes, as the vast majority of them were well-regarded street capitalists.
Zayn did not have the courage to make any further comments after noticing these people’s frenzied reactions in fear of inciting conflict in the middle of the concert. Speaking of which, it was not Zayn’s first time meeting Annabelle. During the few, sparse occasions in which they had met, the two of them were given privacy and left alone. His impression of Annabelle remained—she was a huge celebrity who had ravishing looks that complimented her good character. Other than that, he had never legitimately witnessed Annabelle’s talent because he seldom ever watched television shows or listened to songs. It had been a year since he had touched an episode of an entertainment show, so he had yet to experience Annabelle’s charm. He was completely oblivious of her tremendous reputation within the country and internationally, and that her fan base extended to the millions.He was rather shocked to learn all about it in such a short span of time.However, Zayn had no choice but to acknowled
In comparison, Zayn did not share her emotions as much. It was his first time listening to the song, so he was immersed in Annabelle’s pleasant voice even more. However, he was moved upon seeing Faye getting all worked up emotionally. He turned over his palm and held Faye’s hand to say in all apparent seriousness, “Fifi, you’re my greatest love, too.”“Mmm!” Faye nodded strenuously then leaned her head against Zayn’s shoulder, her face beaming with happiness. Witnessing the scene, Julius’ expression turned very unpleasant. He took a somber glance at Zayn. He loathed Zayn more and more now while the rage in his heart grew stronger with time. After tonight, he would look into Zayn’s background and his residence so that he could take action against him!Many people present were moved as well. Women were even shedding emotional tears by now. The song ended with thunderous applause echoing through the entire scene immediately as a token of appreciation for Annabelle. Annabelle smiled
The entire scene immediately quieted down in unison as soon as Annabelle opened her mouth. Everyone stopped what they were doing and enjoyed her performance wholeheartedly. One had no choice but to acknowledge that Annabelle’s voice was incredibly pleasant. She was truly a born singer. Moreover, the song had an amazing rhythm and the lyrics were written beautifully as well. The expression on Annabelle’s face was a combination of sentiments from longing, sweetness, sorrow, and more. A range of emotions was displayed perfectly on her face. She did not feign it on purpose as the emotions came from her heart. A man’s voice appeared in her mind and scenes of her shared experience with the man flashed past her mind.She fully expressed all her emotions and words that she wanted to tell the man through this song. Everyone was deeply immersed in her world of music. They could sense her present emotions apart from her love and adoration for the man. In fact, they could even sense the hea
Meanwhile, Julius shifted his gaze and noticed that Zayn had not spoken all this while. Moreover, he was glancing left and right with a guilty conscience. Julius smiled cunningly and diverted the topic of conversation to Zayn. He said smilingly, “Mr. Larson, you claim that you’re the chairman of Violet Vision Media Corp, so we can consider you to be working in the entertainment industry. I’m certain that you know who Annabelle’s lover is, don’t you?”Zayn’s heart was racing instantly while the expression on his face became frozen. He looked guilty while the rest of the people shifted their gaze to him. They saw his remorse similarly and began to sneer as they waited for him to make a fool of himself. Little did they know that they had misunderstood Zayn’s guilt. He was not feeling guilty for lying about his identity as Violet Vision’s chairman. Instead, he was quite certain that the lover insinuated in Annabelle’s performance earlier was him!He regretted it now. He should not ha
Zayn’s humorless chuckle grew drier when he saw that Julius had actually gone to invite Annabelle over. Stealing a glance at Faye, he saw that the latter’s gaze was filled with anticipation, thus he could only swallow his words and pray that Julius was incapable of inviting Annabelle over, or that Annabelle would not expose anything when she came around.As for Julius, he marched over to Annabelle with his chin tipped and his chest puffed in ambition. His stride was cool and brimming with confidence. After all, he had met her before this. In addition to his status, he was sure he would successfully invite the celebrity over.There were already a few people around Annabelle who invited her for a meal, but she had not agreed to anyone, refusing them with a smile and some excuses. As Julius approached her, he could not conceal the amazement coloring his eyes. His heart palpitated while his breathing hastened. He wanted to act cool and composed but realized that it was too much to ask of
Annabelle hesitated again and asked, “Where’s your table?”Seeing that she was finally budging, Julius quickly pointed toward his table ecstatically. “There, it’s not too far away—just a couple of steps.”As Annabelle followed his finger, she caught a familiar figure and her eyes flew wide! A jolt shook her body and her breathing paused. For a moment, all the noises in the restaurant disappeared. Her world went mute as the sounds and the people vanished in that split second, leaving only the man in her eyes—Zayn Larson!It was Mr. Larson!Annabelle’s eyes went round in disbelief as she went rigid.Julius froze as well at her reaction, confused about her expression. Was there some sort of issue? While he was caught in uncertainty and was about to ask her about it, Annabelle snapped out of her surprise and retracted her gaze from Zayn. A bright smile bloomed on her face, instantly pulling radiance from the venue as all the women seemed lackluster in comparison to her blossoming gr
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
“Listen to my order, all members!”Meanwhile, Osiris spoke, his expression filled with ferocity . “Locate both of their bodies from the cliff at the fastest speed!”Upon saying that, he vanished from where he stood. 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. Speaking of which, it was not the first time these two people showed up on earth. They were the ones who brought up the live broadcast of Zayn and King Erik in Sha
