Zayn could tell from the young man’s face that the latter had gotten the wrong impression about him already. Tossing the ad aside, he stood and greeted him back with a smile, “Zack! Good to see you. It’s been a while.”

It did not take Zayn a long time to recognize who the young man was—Zachary Lambert, who was only a few years his junior. As a pleasant, amiable guy, Zachary used to sell breakfast in a hawker stall just below the stairs where Zayn used to live and was considered a pretty good friend. Zachary had already, on several occasions, bought lunch for Zayn just because he felt like it.

After a few simple exchanges, Zayn asked in curiosity, “Say, Zack, I thought you’ve moved up north! What brought you back?”

“Yeah, I moved back here a while ago. I’m with Ron now.”

Zayn sized up Zachary’s clean, branded suit, knowing that it cost hundreds for one of these, and gave a lighthearted punch on the young man’s chest. “Whoa, whoa, whoa! Zack, you lucky b*stard! Looks like you’ve made

    Faron Cole was, admittedly, an old acquaintance who hailed from the same town as Zachary, but it did not mean that Zayn had a good impression of him. Faron was an arrogant, vain showboat who liked nothing more than looking down on anyone he judged as inferior and holding grudges over the pettiest things. Sure, he was smart—or deviously cunning—enough to know how to cut corners and maximize profit, but his unsavory character spoke volumes. Zayn never liked the man that much.On the other hand, Zayn’s nonchalance was rubbing Faron the wrong way, especially since, in his memory, Zayn was just a pathetic, useless doormat of a son-in-law. He was below the successful class of people like himself—way, way below.Disdainful eyes swept all over Zayn. Faron could not help but notice the unremarkable getup, the matted hair, and the look of someone who had really lost much of his fortune. “So, long time no see, Zayn Larson,” he began judgingly, “I trust you’ve found a place to make yourself feel

    Zayn’s answer visibly excited Zachary, whose excitement oozed out of his mien as he cried, “That’s wonderful! Just you wait, partner—you’re not going to regret attending tonight’s party. Any fat cat worth their salt is going to be there. You can befriend one or two of them, and then voila! A way up the social ladder is in your hands!”“Wow, that sounds great. It’s all thanks to you, man,” Zayn replied with a smile.Zachary flashed him a smile so earnest that it could only belong to the guileless. “Aw, shucks,” he said, waving sheepishly, “Do you really have to make it such a big deal? You and I go way back! ‘Nuff said.”Zayn smiled slightly. Then, solemnly, he warned him, “Hey, by the way, this might sound a little weird, but there’s something off about you, you know? You haven’t been hitting your stride lately, have you? Think you should be more careful.”“W-what the…? Ha-ha-ha, Zayn! C’mon! When did you start believing in all that new age hoo-ha, huh?” Zachary remarked as he laug

    Thanks to his commentary, Zachary was reminded of exactly where Barrow Cove was. He started scrunching his nose in bafflement. Even he had to admit that Zayn’s bluff was a little too much—really? Barrow Cove?Zayn had gotten so sick of Faron’s commentary that he decided to tune him out altogether. He turned his attention towards Zachary. “What? You don’t look like you believe me.”“Uh, well…” Zachary began, a little hard-pressed. How was he supposed to believe Zayn when he had seen the latter squat in a corner all by himself, sopping wet with sweat and eyes focused on an advertisement that offered to hire dishwashers. It would be pretty naive of him to believe that the same man lived in an area famous for its wealthy residents.Still, Zachary could not bring himself to expose him—he respected Zayn way too much to do something so cruel.He chuckled dryly in lieu of finishing his previous sentence and said, “Well, Barrow Cove is pretty far from here, yeah? It wouldn’t be sensible to

    Just when she was wallowing in her sorrow, a plump young woman sidled up to her and piped up curiously, “Lindsay? What’s with the long face? I mean, look at how many people are here for your homecoming party!”“It’s lame. The only guy I want to see isn’t actually here anyways.”Lindsay’s companion widened her eyes before crying out in surprise, “Hold up, sis. Are you… crushing on someone? Oh. My. God! Who is he?”Those who were within earshot were just as bemused and in disbelief.The truth was, Lindsay Young was no ordinary woman—she was the eminent Young family’s precious little sweetheart, a modern-day aristocrat whose standing was superior to every single trust-fund kid at the entire party!She was a member of one of Rheasia’s most premier noble families. Wealth was far from their only asset; they were also at the top of the social ladder, and had for decades contributed plenty to Rheasia’s economic growth. It was also a known fact that Youngs were highly-decorated soldiers an

    Lindsay sighed with her as she propped her regret-fraught face with the thick of her palm, “Uh, you should have told me he was! God, if only I knew—I would have been on my knees when I saw him! Hell, I wouldn’t have offended him at all! Damn it!” she moaned, “I’ve been visiting Violet Vision Media Corp these past few days, but man, he’s just not interested in seeing me ever again, is he?”Allana let out a long sigh and joined her friend’s pity party. She was submerged in her own tide of melancholy and regret. Their despondency made them stick out like sore thumbs, so much so that they bothered the other attendants around them.Meanwhile, Zayn and the rest of Faron’s team had arrived at the hotel’s grand banquet hall. He had attended many upper-class parties, so Zayn had no trouble keeping his cool. Faron and Zachary, on the other hand, were visibly a little bit more shaken up now that they were in the presence of the affluent—being amongst these people made them both excited yet also

    It was obvious that Zachary’s doom actually originated from Faron. It prompted Zayn to cast his keen eyes over the latter, which made him realize that Faron’s aura was darkening at a visible rate as well. It became more and more evident that the real epicenter of Zachary’s misfortune was Faron, and that Zachary had fallen victim to the collateral damage.From the looks of it, Zachary’s life was originally on the line—to the extent where his death was highly plausible—that evening because of whatever machinations Faron would eventually undertake. However, his fate had now been twisted—Zayn’s appearance had diverted its course.Things were getting interesting.Faron did not appreciate the way that Zayn looked at him, like a dubious bloodhound sniffing out evil, so he harrumphed and snorted, “What are you looking at, moron? You’re as dumb as an oaf! You’re here to act as my bodyguard, you hear me? No talking, and definitely no looking around!”Zayn flashed him a smirk and said nothing

    Lindsay Young seemed to be glowing.There was a passion that burnt in Faron’s gaze as soon as he laid his eyes upon Lindsay. Lindsay was the heiress of the Young family, who had an extremely prestigious status. If he could latch on to Lindsay, he would not need to worry about money for the rest of his life!Zachary was stunned by Lindsay’s beauty, but that made him only feel more inferior. He was well aware that he came from poverty, so there was a huge disparity between him and the elegant heiress born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Naturally, he felt like he was nowhere enough for her.Soon, however, everyone’s eyes fluttered to the fine woman standing next to Lindsay. It was none other than Allana Owen. One could tell with a single glance that Allana was much more beautiful than Lindsay!Faron’s breath was taken away—he could not take his eyes off Allana once he saw her. He was not the only one who reacted in such a manner. Many of the attendants had the same reaction as we

    Zachary had never expected that Faron would put the blame on him because he had just witnessed Faron molesting the woman with his own two eyes. At once, Jameson looked towards Zachary with eyes filled with rage. He waved his huge hand. “Come and beat this b*st*rd up!”“It wasn’t me, it really wasn’t me…” Zachary panicked. He pointed at Faron, and he was on the verge of exposing him when Faron clasped the back of his neck and pinned him to the ground. He lowered his voice and said, “Zachary, you have to take the blame for me today! I’ve never mistreated, not once. If I hadn’t taken you under my wing, would you still be who you are today?”Zachary was stunned. He looked at Faron incredulously, “Faron, I did plenty of meritorious services over the years too.”Faron glared at him and threatened menacingly, “I don’t care. You have to take the blame for me today, or else, your little sister…”Zachary’s entire body shook at once. He stared at Faron, clenching his teeth in anger. He had

    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

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.
