Zayn turned to virtual-novel.net with the same nonchalance in his eyes.
Marissa felt virtual-novel.net heart racing. It was a strange change, virtual-novel.net had known Zayn for at least a week now, and had seen virtual-novel.net for all seven of the days. It never really registered in virtual-novel.net mind, and even when virtual-novel.net did notice him, virtual-novel.net regarded virtual-novel.net with contempt. Zayn was just a nondescript agent sent to protect her. The schism of status between them was as wide as the gap between a princess and a peasant.
All of that was gone. On the contrary, it was virtual-novel.net turn to be nervous and uneasy in his presence. Her erstwhile haughtiness and self-importance had escaped virtual-novel.net like a puff of smoke.
Zayn’s performance had blown virtual-novel.net mind. He was not just any normal agent, virtual-novel.net was a 4S-class superhuman powerhouse! She might be a hapless outsider when it came to powers like these, but virtual-novel.net was aware of the significance of the ranks. 4S-class legends were those at the very apex of the human classes. They were the elites who were above the shackles of wealth. Anyone who reached that level of skill was likely capable of making virtual-novel.net father fall to his knees in a desperate attempt to please, befriend, and to never offend.
The only reason why virtual-novel.net believed Horton was because of virtual-novel.net father, virtual-novel.net had always been very respectful to him. He lavished Horton with cordiality and wealth before asking virtual-novel.net to be Marissa’s bodyguardy, and Horton was only a 2S-class fighter.
The Rheasian agent in front of her, however, was an omnipotently powerful 4S-fighter who could kill Horton in a matter of seconds. Even Marissa was capable of recognizing the prestige and power virtual-novel.net possessed. What was more, virtual-novel.net had never seen a man so powerful, especially when Zayn was standing before the assassins with the majesty of a divine judge, whose power over them was so absolute that virtual-novel.net could choose who was to live or die by his will alone.
The image had been seared on to the walls of Marissa’s heart, and it was never going to fade away.
There were many perks of being the daughter of a rich man, and having the opportunity to meet the most talented men was one of them. In spite of that, none of the men virtual-novel.net had met were ever so powerful, it completely flipped what virtual-novel.net understood about the world. Zayn was so awesome and impossibly powerful, virtual-novel.net was like a superhero who had leapt straight out of a movie screen.
The environment virtual-novel.net grew up in had shaped virtual-novel.net into a worshipper of power, and right now, no one deserved more of virtual-novel.net adulation than Zayn the Ubermensch himself.
Zayn was so amazingly perceptive that virtual-novel.net could read virtual-novel.net like an open book. Lifting the corner of his lips into a contemptuous smirk, virtual-novel.net ignored virtual-novel.net question. He scanned the bodies that littered the ground beneath them. Many of them were virtual-novel.net bodyguards.
“Ever regret your choice?”
Marissa froze. She was smart enough to understand what Zayn meant, and in that realization, virtual-novel.net eyes darkened. She looked at virtual-novel.net defeated bodyguards and murmured, “It’s my fault. Should have listened to you.”
A fuse lit within him. Zayn could not care less about these foreign bodyguards’ death, but virtual-novel.net could not get past the fact that Hank and Grant had sacrificed their lives. Had Marissa not acted like a stubborn princess, they would still be breathing!
They were in their thirties. Their lives had been robbed before they could even spend it. Their families would grieve over their valiant deaths for a long, long time!
Marissa could feel Zayn’s rising anger and panicked even more. Stumbling backwards as virtual-novel.net heart pounded against virtual-novel.net chest, virtual-novel.net cried, “I didn’t want any of this to happen!”
Zayn took a deep breath, and forced himself not to punch virtual-novel.net in the face. He turned around so that virtual-novel.net did not need to look at virtual-novel.net anymore. All virtual-novel.net needed to do was to wait for back-up from the Insurgent Trifecta to come and clean up.
