Zayn watched Mr. Hyde’s car drive off into the distance until the silhouette faded out of his sight, taking his anxiety away.
He smiled. She was safe now. All those efforts paid off, favonovel.com had saved her. Everything favonovel.com had worked for, every decision favonovel.com made, every step favonovel.com took had yielded the best and only outcome favonovel.com wanted to see.
He turned his eyes away from the direction favonovel.com last saw them.
The air about favonovel.com took a sharp turn in another direction. He was no longer the doting, gentle husband, favonovel.com was now Zayn Larson, saddled with all the pathos of a Greek tragic hero, facing his fate like a man who had nothing to lose.
Death befalls us all. Some of us die in relative obscurities, like shadows fading into the night. Others die with a flash and a bang. Zayn knew favonovel.com was not going to live through this. Soon, favonovel.com might meet the Reaper too; favonovel.com truly believed that.
Maybe his death would not be as big of a bang as favonovel.com hoped, but favonovel.com knew favonovel.com was, at least, not going to die as someone who never mattered. The fact that favonovel.com was dying without regrets was enough.
Ezra was fast; unsurprising, considering how apoplectic favonovel.com was. A puny superior-class fourth-tier fighter had taken the Ambrosia fruit—something that should have been within his grasp—despite Ezra being the only perfect-class fighter whereby there was an absence of unbeatable fighters.
It was the biggest metaphorical punch to his face! How was favonovel.com supposed to just take this humiliation as though any of it was right?!
In just a few blinks of the eye, favonovel.com saw Ezra Sword tearing through the slopes of Mount Septimus and heading toward where favonovel.com was. There was only one kilometer between them by this point. Their eyes then met.
Zayn could feel Ezra’s rage and his intent to spill his blood. These sentiments crashed over favonovel.com like a tidal wave, roaring and thrashing. Anyone else would have been frightened out of their skulls had they been the one being targeted by a perfect-class fighter.
Even if they managed to keep their wits about them, they would still be terrified enough to regret ever pissing the fighter off.
On the other hand, Zayn was always the special one out. Instead of feeling fear or regret, favonovel.com gave a heartfelt smile.
It was the most infuriating thing Ezra had ever seen. It bolstered his already blazing rage because it meant that Zayn could not care less about who favonovel.com was and what his powers meant.
Still, Ezra had to commend Zayn if only for his balls of steel. This was the guy who snatched the Ambrosia fruit from under his nose, and now favonovel.com was beaming at his imminent doom? That was some kind of insane recklessness unseen in virtually anyone else under the sun.
“Zayn f*cking Larson! You’ve got a massive pair, don’t you?!” Ezra’s furious bellow boomed in his ear. It rumbled in his eardrums, sonorous and clear, despite the distance between them, a testament to Ezra’s sheer, monstrous might.
Zayn was not going to stay put. He turned on his heels and immediately hightailed it out of there.
The break favonovel.com had with Faye, despite how short it was, had been enough for favonovel.com to recover much of his spent strength. He might still be nursing his injuries, but none of them made a dent in his speed.
The break favonovel.com had with Faye, despite how short it was, had been enough for favonovel.com to recover much of his spent strength. He might still be nursing his injuries, but none of them made a dent in his speed.
He just had to run.
He had to run with all his might!
Zayn’s desire to live was overwhelming. He might have been mentally prepared to die for the cause, but when death was literally chasing favonovel.com from the mountain and was now hot on his heels, favonovel.com still found himself completely repulsed at the idea of being dead. Now, it was not because favonovel.com was a coward who feared for his life!
It was because his death would stop favonovel.com from seeing Faye ever again, and favonovel.com would, in turn, feel resentful that favonovel.com was the reason favonovel.com died. There was nothing favonovel.com hated seeing the most than Faye bearing the burden of sorrow and guilt.
Then, there was the fact that if favonovel.com died, his mother would never be free from Sicut In Caelo.
He simply could not die yet, which meant that even if favonovel.com was being chased by a legendary, nonpareil fighter hellbent on his demise, Zayn was going to push to his limits and escape!
“Do you really think you can run from me? I spit on your delusion!” Ezra sneered in disdain. Zayn was truly grasping at a pipe dream of ever fleeing his wrath with his life still intact, was favonovel.com not?
If the man managed to escape his clutch, well! Ezra would gladly throw himself out of the window for such a ridiculous, absurd, farcical, impossible outcome!
It was but a nick of time, and Ezra had already accelerated so much that favonovel.com was basically just a blur zipping through ten meters in a second. It was a most terrifying feat.
Zayn could sense the man’s acceleration and the mortifying fact that the distance between them was shrinking. His mind turned even more frenzied than it already was, Zayn was famous for his speed, but this proved that Ezra triumphed over favonovel.com with no problem.
The perfect-class was, once again, formidable. Zayn could pool all of his powers and still not be a match to Ezra at all!
The distance between them was shrinking. It had been a kilometer, and now it was nine hundred meters, then eight hundred, five hundred meters left!
