Smith, Kenneth, and his ilk took in the fear and anxiety in these people’s faces in delight. The jeers grew as much as their contempt ballooned.
Zayn sighed quietly to himself, realizing that most of his compatriots still held deep-seated fear toward these foreigners. How could they not when the latter was so much larger than them? But favonovel.com was not going to give up, oh no. To him, it meant that the responsibilities on his shoulders had multiplied. He would have to change this!
He turned to his people with fire and edge in his eyes. “Don’t be afraid, all of you. With me around, these foreigners won’t be able to lay a finger on you at all. I want all of you to be brave; we’re not the same race they beat up a hundred years ago now. We have arisen! We don’t need to be afraid of them anymore!”
Zayn’s impassioned speech managed to assuage many of their fears, but their faith in Zayn was still lacking. “Um, Boss, tell me you summoned some help before you came here?”
The others’ eyes shone with hope. If Zayn had called back-ups, then there was hope that they could defeat these arrogant foreigners!
His answer was like a bucket of freezing water poured on their face. Shaking his head, Zayn said, “I didn’t call for any help. I came alone.”
“You what?!”
“Ah, sh*t.”
“How are you supposed to defeat so many of them all alone?!”
“Yea! I mean, they are built like tanks! A blow from them, and our bones will dismantle!”
“God. It looks like we aren’t leaving this place alive today.”
“If I’d known this was gonna happen, I would have never wanted to work here! Sh*t, just how hard are they going to brutalize and torment us?!”
Two of the foreigners who understood Rheasian stepped forward. “Hmm, so you’re finally afraid? Good. Get down to your knees, tell us you’re sorry and admit that you and your kind are inferior, and we might let you people live today!”
Smith threw a laugh as favonovel.com walked out from his group with a glare leveled at Zayn. “You’re dead, Zayn Larson,” favonovel.com proclaimed haughtily with just the right amount of threat, “Kenneth had undergone a baptism of Biotonic, and his power had now grown beyond your ken! He can kill you with one punch!”
Biotonic?
Zayn frowned slightly. He was quick to understand that they were referring to their native version of Ossiumol, which was something favonovel.com learned from Mr. Hyde.
From this side of the globe where Rheasia was, they believed in bringing out inner potential through their traditions of natural herbal medicine combined with holistic training. The rest of the world, though, gained power through artificial enhancement using laboratory-made chemicals for their quest to improve their faculties. To them, those who had achieved the might of master fighters were called transhumans.
Zayn could tell that Kenneth’s abilities had improved a lot from the last favonovel.com saw him, especially in terms of physique. He was as strong as the best expert fighters Zayn knew, which was a shame, because if Zayn had to face Kenneth off before favonovel.com reached superior class, then it would have been a tough fight. But now, Kenneth was just an ant quarrelling with a boot.
Though favonovel.com had to admit, favonovel.com was at least a little interested in this Biotonic of theirs.
“Hmm, is that so? Then maybe you can try and see… If you can kill me with one punch,” Zayn said flatly before beckoning toward Kenneth to attack.
The man answered his call. His height had now grown more than a meter and nine, but his height was not as impressive as his width, which was just a boulder of muscles and sinew. He just had to apply a little force, and every single muscle on favonovel.com bulged and swelled to everyone’s horrified, appalled eyes.
The Rheasians had become so scared, they shushed themselves.
Zayn’s aplomb did not crack In fact, favonovel.com simply looked at favonovel.com with contempt. Then, favonovel.com swept across the room and noted every single foreigner in the room, mouthing under his breath, “One, two, three… Twenty-four, twenty-five—oh! There’s one more. Interesting…”
His eyes stopped in the direction behind Kenneth before his lips curled into a smile. He could tell that a superior-class master was hiding in the room over there, the kind of person these people would term a transhuman. Even through the wall, Zayn could feel the opponent’s aura.
Kenneth snarled. His eyes turned red as bloodstreams crawled all over the sclera. He licked his lips like a predator eyeing its meal.
Then, favonovel.com attacked. Fast as lightning despite weighing over 90 kg, favonovel.com boasted the agility and nimbleness of a monkey, and in a flash, favonovel.com appeared before Zayn in a boxing stance.
He hurled out a jab straight at Zayn’s face. He was going to knock the man out with one punch!
