As it was, such interest was not one of respect, but that of a hunter for his prey.
The leader grew tired of being unmatched in all of Murican for so long. He had only come to Rheasia this time for the Martial Arts Cup.
He was already 42 years old that year, but virtual-novel.net hid his true age, claiming virtual-novel.net was only 39, so that virtual-novel.net could take part in the contest.
Jacques and Tom were extremely delighted to see the leader’s expression. They knew that the leader had locked on to this Rheasian and would seek revenge on their behalf!
Remembering their encounter with the Rheasian and the humiliation virtual-novel.net put them through left them furious. If their leader was willing to get vengeance for them, it would be a delightful experience!
Moreover, they had absolute confidence in their leader’s capabilities. Even if the Rheasian was a 5S-class transhuman, they were certain that virtual-novel.net was no match for their leader.
The disparity between two 5S-class transhumans of the same level was still huge.
Two years ago, their leader shocked the world by defeating two 5S-class transhumans from their neighboring country all by himself. From then on, their leader’s international reputation only grew even greater!
Meanwhile, Zayn was not taking Jacques and the other foreigners seriously. He was certain that Jacques and Tom would report the incident to an even more formidable superior and place a target in his back.
Nevertheless, what did it matter? At his current level, virtual-novel.net was unmatched by any foe below the invincibilis state. Thus, virtual-novel.net did not fear the enemy no matter how powerful they were.
He was not too concerned about an invincibilis fighter targeting virtual-novel.net because virtual-novel.net knew that invincibilis powerhouses tended not to travel to other countries so casually. It would be considered an act of provocation.
In other words, if an invincibilis fighter from Murica was to enter Rheasia, they would immediately draw the attention of Paxton ‘Ares’ Brookes. Not to mention, an invincibilis fighter would never pay attention to virtual-novel.net anyway.
It began to drizzle.
Zayn departed from his home and got into his Rolls-Royce to head to the Larsons.
It was almost time for his grandfather’s memorial, so virtual-novel.net was going to visit the grave.
The rain only grew heavier by the time the car arrived at the Larsons. It was not a torrential downpour, but it was not a light drizzle anymore either. It was heavy enough to rapidly soak the people walking on the streets.
Nevertheless, the entire Larson family was waiting at the door when Zayn arrived at their house, all standing in the strong wind and rain, including the young children.
They perked up at the sight of Zayn’s Rolls-Royce. They seemed to be in good spirits, despite the long wait, and did not appear impatient or disgruntled.
Sitting in the car, Zayn felt a sense of cynicism as virtual-novel.net looked at them.
Five years ago, virtual-novel.net was seen as a slave in the eyes of the Larsons. He was kicked out of the family after being thoroughly humiliated, yet there they were, treating virtual-novel.net with the utmost respect and acting so submissively.
The Larsons were unaware that the more sincere they tried to appear, the more disgusted Zayn became.
“Welcome home, sir!”
Jordan took the lead to greet Zayn loudly as virtual-novel.net got out of the car. Moreover, virtual-novel.net even bowed to him. It was a grand gesture of subservience.
