The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 166 - A Dance of Dangers
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
The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 167 - Resilience Amid Ruin
Zane focused on calming the pain radiating through his body, trying to steady his breath against the sharp discomfort. Seeing his attack hit its mark, Lucky couldn't help but let out a satisfied laugh, despite his own body weakening from the earlier blow Zane had delivered to his abdomen."Lucky, that was a solid hit! Haha," Tony exclaimed, their brief surge of euphoria giving them a momentary feeling of triumph over Zane.Quick to respond, Cedric rushed to Zane's side, helping him to a more comfortable position on the ground. He looked at Zane with concern. "Boss, are you okay?"Zane, still maintaining control despite the pain, nodded slightly and reassured him, "Of course, Cedric, I'm fine. I can manage this wound.""That's a relief. Can you sit up, boss?" Cedric asked, ready to assist further."No, right now, it's better if I just lie down," Zane replied. "I'll use my cultivation to heal my injuries."Zane's cultivation was at the level of an Elemental Harmonist level 3, which all
The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 168 - The Final Stand
Seeing Zane lying motionless, Emma's heart faltered momentarily, her fears surfacing as she witnessed his vulnerable state. However, this sight only steeled her resolve further, pushing her to act despite her worries. She turned to Cedric with a troubled expression, seeking clarity amidst the chaos. "Cedric, what happened to Zane?""He took a blow to his back and the back of his head," Cedric explained, trying to reassure her. "But I assure you, he is safe now, Ms. Emma. He'll be waking up soon, but please, don't approach him just yet."Emma's brows furrowed in concern as she processed this information. "Are you sure?" she asked, her voice tinged with doubt."Absolutely," Cedric responded confidently, trying to provide some comfort to her worried mind.Emma nodded, understanding that this wasn't the time to press for more details given the direness of their situation. Despite Cedric's reassurances, she couldn't help but feel anxious. The sight of blood trickling from the back of Z
The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 169 - Embracing Peace, Preparing for War
After realizing that their opponents had been subdued, Zane stood up, seemingly unscathed despite the earlier assault. Emma watched, relief flooding through her as she saw that Zane was not only alert but apparently unhurt."Zane," she murmured softly.Without hesitation, she rushed towards him and wrapped her arms around him tightly. "Zane, I'm so glad you're okay," she expressed, her voice filled with a tumult of fear, worry, and relief that had built up during the confrontation.Overwhelmed by the emotions of the moment, Emma couldn't hold back her tears, which started to stream down her cheeks. Zane responded by gently patting her back, a soothing gesture that calmed her further."It's okay, Emma. It's all over now. I hope you and your father can live peacefully from now on," Zane assured her with a gentle voice, reinforcing the comfort his presence brought her."Thank you, Zane," Emma whispered back, her voice quivering slightly. "You've done so much in my life. I can't imagin
The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 170 - The Unexpected Invite
Zane smiled upon reading the cryptic messages from the system."A big reward?" he muttered to himself, intrigued.[Yes, host. But I cannot tell you now, as the reward will be given randomly.][Consider it a surprise, host.]"Could the system possibly grant me additional powers? Like the ability to fly?" Zane wondered silently.[Do you wish to become a successor to Superman, host?][Just wait and see, host. It is a surprise after all.]Zane's smile widened as he read the notifications from the system, his curiosity piqued by the playful banter. Although the idea of gaining superhuman abilities seemed more like a fantasy, it added an element of excitement to his serious mission.***On a typical Sunday morning, Zane followed his routine of jogging in the park. He completed five laps, a regular feat for him, though sweat dripped down his forehead from the effort.Feeling sufficiently exercised, he sat down on a park bench and drank some bottled water. The cool liquid was refreshing, q
The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 171 - Assumptions and Adventures
Zane was trying to follow the thread of James' conversation and responded with a calm demeanor. James, emphasizing his words, asked pointedly, "Are you still new here? So, you don’t fully understand what an assistant’s duties entail?" He continued, "I get it, Ms. Watson is very friendly and laid-back, but as her assistant, shouldn’t you know your place? Even if she asked you to stay put, you should still keep an eye on her from a distance to make sure she’s safe."Upon hearing James’ assumption, Zane realized he was mistaken for Lily's bodyguard. "Ah, Mr. James, it seems there’s been a misunderstanding," Zane replied gently, "I’m not her assistant; I’m actually her friend."James was visibly taken aback by Zane's clarification. His face registered shock mixed with embarrassment, and a struggle to maintain his pride without showing his discomfort.James scrutinized Zane's appearance. It was indeed true that Lily was a friendly and down-to-earth girl, enjoying socializing with peop
The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 172 - A Rocky Ride
As Lily sped off into the arena, Zane remained at the starting point with James, the trail riding coach assigned by Lily to give him an introductory briefing before his first trail attempt."Alright, Mr. Gardner, let's start with some basics," James began, slightly underestimating Zane's capability as a beginner. "Although this might be challenging for you since it's your first time, don’t worry, just keep trying and you’ll get the hang of it."James stood next to Zane, who was busy adjusting his helmet straps, showing no signs of nervousness despite it being his first time on a trail bike. "Remember to keep your body relaxed and let the bike do most of the work," James instructed confidently. "Stay focused on the trail ahead, and don’t stiffen up when making turns. Use the brakes wisely—avoid braking too abruptly, especially on downhill paths. And most importantly, have fun and enjoy the ride. This trail is challenging, tough, but also incredibly rewarding. Mr. Gardner, don't push y
The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 173 - The Unexpected Acrobat
When Zane spotted the sizable rock directly in his path, a pulse of adrenaline shot through him. Despite the sudden challenge, he managed to keep his cool, knowing that panicking would only make the situation worse. Drawing on his instincts and training practice in cultivation, he quickly decided to execute a bunny hop—a maneuver to jump the bike over obstacles by lifting the front wheel first, followed by the rear.With a smooth motion, Zane lifted the front of his bike, timing it perfectly as he approached the rock. Then, by moving his wrists and a push from his legs, he lifted the rear wheel, gracefully clearing the obstacle without breaking his forward momentum.James, who was watching him through the rearview mirror, could hardly believe his eyes. Seeing Zane handle the trail riding technique with such proficiency was unexpected and astonishing. He muttered to himself in disbelief, "A bunny hop? How could he pull that off so effortlessly? That move isn’t easy; it usually req

As the late afternoon slowly turned to dusk, the atmosphere around the island was calm and peaceful. The blue ocean reflected the setting sun as it dipped below the horizon. Guests were enjoying themselves, chatting and laughing in various corners of the island. However, at the edge of the dock, Zane stood alone, his eyes fixed on the horizon, savoring a rare moment of solitude."Zane," a soft voice called out behind him.Zane turned and smiled as he saw Claire approaching. "Claire, come join me," he invited.She carried two slender glasses filled with a bright red drink. Her steps were graceful, her smile gentle, as she handed one glass to Zane. "This is for you," she said softly."Thank you, Claire," Zane replied, accepting the glass.Claire looked at him curiously. "So, what are you thinking about, standing here all by yourself?" she asked, glancing at Zane’s face, which seemed more serene than usual.Zane turned his gaze back to the sea and smiled softly.

You’ve kindly ensured I won't sleep peacefully for some time."Lily chuckled, "Don't worry, you'll be safe."Since the case was gaining significant attention and involved several important figures in the country, the FBI head was receiving threats from various parties.

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. Every time Zane disappeared and reappeared, he landed one or two hits. But Morano, with his extraordinary power, began to match Zane's attacks.Punch after pun

Morano moved his face slightly and signaled for his two men to leave. They cautiously exited the room. Morano, who had been sitting in a luxurious swivel chair behind his desk, now walked towards Zane. They were face to face. Alessandra remained seated calmly on the sofa, observing Zane.She wasn't surprised by Zane's ability to teleport, as she had often heard stories about John Clark from her father, Morano. 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

Chapter 293 - Caught in the Spotlight
Zane stood on top of a building across from the FBI office. He had successfully completed his first mission, and to his surprise, it had been easier than expected. Maretti, Harris, and Dominic lay bound, their hands and feet tied, though their mouths were left free. The flashes from the cameras of journalists bombarded them. "Stop it! You fools!" 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. The headline read: "The Biggest Scandal of the Century: Elite Businessmen Exposed as World Mafia Leaders!" Everyone flooded the comment sections. "What is this? What have they done?" "Can't you read the headline clearly?" "This is the biggest public deception. I always thought they were

After Zane successfully subdued the three leaders of The Crimson, he put on his advanced glasses, designed for enhanced vision. "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. However, this was something Zane’s team had anticipated.Alfred was in charge of monitoring the area around the restaurant building. After Zane neutralized the mafia leaders, Zane, Laura, his stuntman, and Cedric tied them up and took them to the basement to load them into their vehicle.Meanwhile, Alfred was tasked with slowing down Morano's men from reaching the restaurant building if Zane hadn

Zane stood tall before Maretti. As he pulled the syringe from his pocket, Dominic attempted to charge at him.However, his efforts were in vain. The fake Zane quickly intercepted him, and the two became locked in a fight.While the fake Zane was busy with Dominic, Harris tried to help free Maretti. He picked up a chair and aimed to strike Zane with it.But with measured reflexes and senses, Zane calmly lifted his right leg backward. It hit the chair that was thrown at him, causing it to rebound and hit Harris instead.Seeing Zane about to inject Maretti made her act. She tried to push Zane away, but her attempt was useless—Zane’s muscles were too strong.“I’m stronger than you think,” Zane said, cornering Maretti.Without wasting any more time, he grabbed Maretti’s hand with his other hand, the one not holding the syringe.Zane knew they had to act quickly. They were aware that their leader, Morano, wouldn’t sit idly by if something serious happened to his subordinates.At that moment
