When Life Takes a Turn – Chapter 0270

Zidane was well aware of Zayn’s idea. In reality, he had the same intention to look for an open space so that they could engage in combat properly. There were way too many restrictions to fight here anyhow. Even though he talked as if he could not be bothered, in truth, he did not have the courage to destroy his grandfather’s grave for real. Otherwise, his reputation would be ruined if news of this incident were to travel. Even if he was even more powerful, the Larsons would never tolerate his behavior.

The country paid great attention to commemorate the deceased. Connor was still his grandfather regardless. It would be a huge disrespect for a grandson to destroy his grandfather’s grave, so he would certainly be kicked out of the family. There was also one more reason, he wanted to engage in proper combat with Zayn!

All this while, he had been living in Zayn’s shadow and felt very recalcitrant about that. He had been training arduously for the past four years and made good progress in his fighting skills. Therefore, he refused to believe that he was incapable of defeating Zayn. It was something that weighed heavily on his mind. He wanted to defeat Zayn in combat today regardless!

As a result, he let out a crisp howl, spread his arms, and chased after Zayn like a condor.

The blood in Zayn’s entire body was boiling over while every cell in his body had come alive at this very moment. His willpower to fight was soaring continuously.

Four years! It had been four years since he lived in an abyss of misery every day. He lived as a good-for-nothing son-in-law in the Carters for four years whereby he suffered direly every single day. He spent almost every day thinking about breaking free and taking back everything that belonged to him.

All in all, even if Zidane did not come looking for him, he would still look for Zidane and seek revenge for that night’s incident four years ago. Moreover, he wanted to find out if his grandfather’s illness was truly related to Zidane.

Zayn finally arrived at an open space, so he stopped running. When he heard Zidane behind him, he turned around right away and wrangled with the latter!

If Zayn’s acquaintances could see the skills Zayn displayed now, they would certainly be astounded. They would never believe that such a useless deadbeat like him actually possessed such shocking skills!

Every punch he threw, every kick he launched was done so swiftly and heavily.

Thud, thud, thud!

On the hilltop, the sun had yet to rise completely. There was only the faint glow of dawn that illuminated the place. They were moving so quickly that it was hard for a person to understand what he or she was seeing. They were attacking each other with so many moves that confused one’s eyes even more.

Zayn and Zidane were evenly matched. The clashing sounds that broke out from punching one’s flesh were heard endlessly. It was fortunate that the graveyard was located in the outskirts, so there was no one within two kilometers of the area. Otherwise, the noises produced from the fight would certainly startle many, and it would even be regarded as a haunted incident!

Zayn felt great. It had already been a very long time since he had done this. Zidane was a balanced match with him. Moreover, he did not have the slightest reservation when he was fighting against Zidane due to their rivalry. He could let himself loose and vent his pent-up emotions to his heart’s content. Every punch and every kick from him was infused with his essence, energy, and his rage.

It could be said that he was elated. Even if he was injured, he found the experience somewhat pleasurable!

On the contrary, Zidane was fully confident in the beginning and assumed that Zayn was certainly beneath him and that he would be on the losing side.

However, the reality was completely beyond his expectation. Zayn’s skills had not deteriorated, but he had actually improved even more. Not only was Zayn evenly matched with him, but he was also almost superior to him. He felt especially aggrieved for being suppressed by Zayn!

It felt as if he had returned to his younger days whereby Zayn was constantly towering over him.

‘How did this happen? How?’

Zidane roared wildly in his heart. He had obviously put in so much effort for the past four years already and had made good progress in his martial art skill, but why was he still incapable of defeating Zayn? It did not make sense!

Could it be that he just was not as gifted as Zayn?

One should know that their training environments for the past four years were completely different. Zayn had been living with his in-laws in the Carters’ home where he frequently skipped meals. He was malnourished and did not partake in any training or actual combat. On the other hand, Zidane lived and ate well besides having a special team of people training him. Two years ago, he had even purchased a virtual reality system to undergo virtual training as well. Therefore, he felt that Zayn could never measure up to him.
