Rosie smiled and said, โItโs just my luck.โThe woman sitting in the back came up with an idea and said, โRosie, since youโve already agreed to go out to dinner with Larson, I suggest that you not hide it from Mr. Storm. Youโd better tell him and have him go with you. That way, Mr. Storm will know youโre loyal to him. Moreover, youโll be able to make it clear to that Larson guy so heโll back off and stop bothering you.โUpon hearing that, Rosie furrowed her brows ever so slightly and said, โThat seems a bit much, doesnโt it?โShe had already lost the desire to be with Zayn anyhow, and she was only loyal to the heir of the Storm family. She considered the dinner date to be a meal shared between friends and if she had to tell her fiancรฉ about this, her freedom would all be taken away from her. Nevertheless, her friend said in all apparent seriousness, โHmph, a bit much? Itโs exactly whatโs needed, okay! You should know that Mr. Storm is a very chauvinistic man. If he ever learns tha
Wales International Dining was a 3-star Michelin restaurant in Waltz City, and the cost of a meal there was extremely high. Zayn had eaten there before after being invited by a bunch of veteran businessmen who were trying to suck up to him. As it happened, Rosie chose the same place as the venue for their dinner date.Zayn was planning on going with Faye, but his wife claimed that she was busy. She had to devote most of her time and energy to her family business, leaving Zayn rather frustrated. Fortunately, Faye had become a master fighter after consuming the Aeon Karpos. She was not a very skilled fighter, but she had physical endurance and strength that were more than adequate for a woman. Hence, even if Faye was busy with work, she would not get fatigued easily. Otherwise, Zayn would never allow Faye to strain herself in such a way. Going to see Rosie, Zayn could not help but feel emotional as he thought about the many things they did when they were young. Rosie was his c
There were numerous young people in attendance with smirks on their faces. Judging by their mannerisms, it was apparent that they were acquainted with Zayn, yet they seemed to resent him greatly. They were the heirs of upper-class families in Waltz City and had once been in the same social circle as Zayn. Though they were all from Waltz City, they had no skills to speak of and had remained in their โrich kidโ circle. They were nowhere near Zaynโs level, which was why they did not know that the man who they despised had become a peerless magnate. Zayn was a man that even their families had to look up to.Upon hearing that, Rosie immediately said in a panic, โThatโs nonsense. The relationship between Zayn and me is innocent. I donโt have any feelings for him and even if he were to try it with me now, I would only see him as a friend at most!โSomeone quickly said in a mocking tone, โRosie, I remembered that Zayn and you used to be childhood best friends. You grew up with each other
Zayn walked to the table according to the location provided by Rosie and did not think anything of it. It was not that he was not wise enough, but such a trivial matter was unworthy of his brain power. It was simply an invite from his childhood best friend. Rosie wanted to buy him dinner, so he came and would give her the respect she deserved. Nevertheless, he noticed something was off as soon as he entered the place. It was because he could hear many peopleโs voices besides Rosieโs. What the heck was going on? Was he not the only person Rosie invited to dinner?Zayn furrowed his brows ever so slightly. He decided to cross the bridge when he came to it and did not dwell on the issue. After all, it was fine for him to have a meal with Rosie when there was nothing in their past relationship to reconcile.He opened the door and glanced inside, only to find a total of over forty people in the huge reserved room. They were all familiar faces, friends from his old social circle. Hi
She had assumed Zayn would not do too poorly even after leaving the Larsons, but judging by how he looked at that moment, it seemed she had overestimated him. On the other hand, Zayn actually had the nerve to want to restart their old relationship. Apparently, he had no self-awareness, and she subconsciously began to look down on him.Zayn could sense the change in her attitude and manner. Moreover, he noticed that she had glanced at the man standing next to her when she spoke. It was apparent that she cared about the manโs opinion, and looking at her posture, Zayn immediately realized he was most probably her boyfriend. He was not planning on picking up where he left off with Rosie anyway, so upon seeing her behavior, he cracked a meaningful smile. โI do mind. I thought we agreed that itโs just going to be the two of us for the dinner date? Itโs not very convenient for you to have so many people join us, is it?โUpon hearing that, Rosieโs expression turned even colder. Moreover, t
โWhy would you say that, Zayn?!โโThis is absurd. How dare you call Poppy a piglet! I can tell that youโre trying to get yourself killed!โโYou were cast out of your own family, and now you're a deadbeat who canโt even afford a car! Where did you find the confidence to make fun of Poppy, huh?!โโYouโd better apologize to Poppy right now or youโll regret it!โAll at once, many people came forward to aggressively berate Zayn. They spoke in a harsh, bitter tone without showing the slightest respect for him. Naturally, noticing the situation, Zayn could not possibly allow himself to yield. He was not being petty, but it was simply unnecessary for him to show consideration for those people. However, Zayn did not shout abuses back at them either, of course. With a harsh grunt, he switched to a more intimidating demeanor. Anyone who met his sweeping gaze was struck by an overwhelming fear, their chests clenching tightly for a brief moment. Their faces turned ghastly pale, and they d
He cracked a meaningful smile instantly and said, โYouโre already here anyway, so why are you leaving in such a hurry? Youโre a friend of Rosieโs. As her fiance, I should entertain you properly!โHe emphasized the word โentertainโ on purpose while the smile on his face grew wider. The people at the scene who knew Duncan could tell he was furious and was planning on humiliating Zayn ferociously. These people were delighted to witness a situation like this because they resented Zayn from the start. It would be lovely for them to see him make a fool of himself!On the other hand, Zayn ignored Duncan and kept his eyes on Rosie the whole time. Frankly, he did not care about who Duncan was nor take him seriously. He was there purely out of respect for Rosie. However, he discovered he could no longer see the emotions that used to be in Rosieโs eyes. The woman was not the friend he knew before.He shook his head and heaved a sigh inwardly, feeling rather emotional for a moment. He then
Zayn did not even need eyes to see exactly what Duncan intended. He laughed to himself at such childish behavior. The truth was that he no longer had any feelings for Rosie.After a while, a man said to Zayn, โZayn, I wonder if youโre a business owner now? How much do you make in a year?โWhen he asked this, the rest of the crowd began to smirk, obviously hoping to see Zayn make a fool of himself. They learned from Rosie that Zayn had been kicked out of the Larson family five years ago and was currently living in poverty. Naturally, they would not miss an opportunity to mercilessly mock Zayn for his misfortune. Zayn said, โI really have no idea how much I make in a year. Itโs all handled by my subordinates.โZayn was not lying because he had long since delegated his business affairs to others. Since he was not handling it, he did not know how much he made annually, but he could confirm that his annual income was astronomical. Even if they combined everything they made throughout
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 Zaynโs icy cold face. He could not refrain himself from saying aloud, โZayn! Iโm your father-in-law! You canโt kill me!โThere was a change of Zaynโs 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 Osirisโ chest. A poof that sounded like poking through a layer of paper was heard when he punched through Osirisโ chest. On the other hand, Osirisโ body halted to a stop as well. He widened his eyes in disbelief and lowered his head to look at his wound incredulouslyโฆ.โYouโฆ Youโฆโ He glared at Zayn, his gaze filled with recalcitrance, fear and regret. Zayn said nonchalantly, โYou donโt deserve to be h
โYouโre next.โBang!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. Zaynโs 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. โLook! Thatโs 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 canโt possibly escape from danger under such circumstances no matter how powerful he is!โโOh no, oh no, Sergeant Larson is going to die hereโฆโโWhat should we do? Could it be that weโre not going to do anything to save him?โโI donโt know. Letโs ask for instructions from our superiorโฆโThe 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. Fayeโs body had already become stiff, but her body had actually begun to turn soft after being caressed by Zaynโs 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, โItโs your fault that Fifi is dead. You deserve to die.โNext, his gaze swept across everyone and said something that terrified everyone, โAll of you deserve to die!โUpon hearing that, Osirisโ 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
โZaynโs willpower is so strong that he is capable of withstanding the pain of his bodyโs restructuring indifferently. Heโs an excellent talent.โ 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. โThis Earther is quite impressive. He has already taken the step successfully. My trip to Earth was not wasted this timeโฆhuh?โHowever, 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 Fayeโs eyes, he could not bring himself to reject her anymore. He knew that it was Fayeโs final moment.The glint in Fayeโs 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, โYes!โUpon hearing the word, Fayeโs aged face cracked a smile. Then, the joyous smile was frozen on her face for eternityโฆZaynโs 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?Zaynโs 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 Fayeโs 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 Zaynโs 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 Fayeโs 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. Fayeโs hair turned from black to white swiftly at a visible speed!Moreover, Fayeโs 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
โListen to my order, all members!โMeanwhile, Osiris spoke, his expression filled with ferocity . โLocate both of their bodies from the cliff at the fastest speed!โUpon saying that, he vanished from where he stood. Meanwhile, two people stood at a mysterious location that no one could see above Regicide Heofonโs 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 manโs presence. On the other hand, the woman stood in front of the man. Her beauty was impeccable and she was as graceful as a fairyโฆThe 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
