At the last possible moment, with the grace and agility of a seasoned acrobat, Zane used his feet to push off the ground, executing a high, spinning leap over their heads.He somersaulted in the air and landed perfectly behind his attackers. The assailants, unable to halt their momentum, ended up striking each other instead. Cries of pain and frustration filled the air as they inadvertently hit their own teammates. "Ahh!!" echoed among them, followed by angry curses of "Dammit!"The realization that they had been outmaneuvered so completely left them disoriented and infuriated. They turned around to face Zane again, their expressions a mix of shock, pain, and anger. Zane stood calmly, observing the disarray among his foes, ready to respond to their next move.Aaron, witnessing the unfolding disaster, felt his anger and disbelief surge. "Impossible, how can he execute such maneuvers? Those are moves of a master level, aren't they?" he muttered to himself.Meanwhile, Cedric was ef
The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 160 - Behind the Mask
Standing before a defeated Aaron, Zane and Cedric shared a look of quiet satisfaction. The tension in the air was palpable as Zane slowly reached up and removed his mask, revealing his identity. Aaron's eyes widened in shock as recognition dawned upon him."Zane Gardner," he muttered, his fists clenching reflexively as memories of past encounters, specifically a hunting event organized by the Scott Company, flooded back."Do you recognize me now, Mr. Aaron Edward?" Zane asked, his voice steady and his smile faintly amused."Haha, why reveal yourself now? You could have saved yourself a lot of trouble by doing this from the beginning," Aaron retorted, attempting to mask his frustration with a casual dismissal of the situation."It was no trouble at all, really. Your men didn't give me much of a challenge," Zane responded smoothly, his tone nonchalant. His words were not meant to provoke, but they stung Aaron nonetheless, feeding into his already bruised ego."Haha, I really like tha
The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 161 - A Morning with Claire
In addition to Cecilia, Cedric, and Alfred, Zane had also entrusted his house pin to Claire due to their close emotional bond.Claire was still oblivious to Zane's presence as she continued to cook intently in the kitchen. Today, she looked different from her usual self, wearing a simple mini dress topped with an apron, her hair neatly tied back.She jumped when Zane suddenly appeared beside her. "Oh my God!" she exclaimed, and then, recognizing it was Zane, she sighed in relief. "Ah, Zane, you scared me. How do you manage to appear so silently?"Zane smiled gently and replied, "I'm sorry, Claire. But shouldn't I be the one surprised? It’s the first time I’ve seen you here so early in the morning, and..." He glanced at her attire, "Look at you, wearing an apron and cooking for me? You aren’t sleepwalking here, are you, Claire?"Zane teased her playfully. "Zane, don't say things like that, you’re making me blush, you know?" Claire responded with a light laugh."Okay, I won't mention

Is there any new update?" he asked, his voice tinged with concern."Mr. Gardner, yes. Ms. Emma returned home late last night, around midnight, and it appears that a car was observing her from a distance as she entered the main gate," the man on the phone reported, his tone serious. "I’m concerned for Ms. Emma’s safety."Zane nodded gravely, even though the security couldn't see him. "Thank you for the information. I’ll look into this matter. Please follow my instructions and do not take any action on your own.""Understood, Mr. Gardner," the security guard responded with firm acknowledgment.After ending the call, Zane sat back and pondered the best course of action to track down the suspicio

They exchanged puzzled glances, their faces etched with questions about the identity of this new arrival in the midst of the confrontation they had stirred up.Zane swung the car door open, and his steps briefly obscured the light, casting long shadows on the ground. As he moved closer, his features became more distinct in the dim light, revealing his familiar face to the tense group.Seeing Zane's face clearly, Lucky and Tony jolted in surprise. They were no strangers to Zane; during their time shadowing Emma, they had often seen him with her. What truly shocked them, however, was not just his unexpected presence, but the realization that Zane had managed to follow

As Zane entered the building, he immediately noticed Emma's brave actions. A subtle smile of pride appeared on his face, admiring her resilience in the face of danger. Just then, as Lucky stepped closer to Emma, intending to intimidate her further, Zane intervened with a swift and forceful kick to the side of Lucky's face.The blow sent Lucky stumbling to the side. As he wiped at his cheek, he discovered blood on his hand and cursed under his breath, "Dammit."Refusing to be subdued, Lucky quickly regained his footing and faced Zane with fury in his eyes. "You think you can beat me? Don't think you'll get out of here alive," he snarled with menace.Zane shifted his position, now placing himself between Emma and Lucky, effectively shielding her. He turned to her and instructed firmly, "Emma, get away from here, go to the car."Emma's face was etched with concern as she nodded in understanding, her eyes locked on Zane. "Be careful, Zane," she reminded him, her voice laced with wor

Zane stood facing Morano at a close distance. Zane remained calm, while Morano wore a dismissive expression."So, are you sure you want to face me alone, young man? Hahaha."He continued, "I’m not even sure if your grandfather could, let alone you."Without warning, Zane darted forward, his body becoming a blur that was hard for the naked eye to follow. His teleportation allowed him to move at lightning speed, appearing beside Morano and delivering a powerful punch. "Today, I will tear down the empire you’ve built. In the name of my grandfather, I will destroy you."Morano managed to dodge the first attack, but Zane was already behind him in an instant, kicking him hard in the back. Morano staggered but quickly retaliated."Hahaha, young man, you’re truly naive. I will show you who I really am."Their duel grew more intense.

So, she wasn't shocked, but she hadn’t expected Zane to possess the same ability.Zane locked eyes with Morano and firmly said, "Don’t ever say that again. It’s disgusting."“Hahaha, Zane Gardner, I don’t know what John told you. But, yes, you two were pretty close. I was hurt—it felt like unrequited love, hahaha.”“Stop your nonsense.”“Wow, you’re braver than John, huh? He should’ve learned more from you, hahaha.”Zane remained where he stood. "I don't care about anything you're saying."“So, why are you here? Did your grandfather send you to surrender? Has he finally admit

Harris shouted, demanding the reporters stop taking pictures and recording. "Zane Gardner! This is all Zane Gardner's doing! You're idiots; you should be after him, not gathered here. We are the victims!" Maretti yelled. But their cries fell on deaf ears, as the journalists ignored them and broadcasted everything live on TV and the internet.

"Good job, Alfred, I can see everything clearly," he said, speaking into his earpiece. At that moment, Zane could see the busy city and a convoy of black cars. It was obvious that they belonged to Morano’s men. "Yes, Master. Morano’s forces will arrive soon. It’s best if you move quickly," Alfred replied from a rooftop.The sudden cut of the CCTV feed had already made Morano suspicious, so he ordered his men to head to the location where Maretti and Harris were.
