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
The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 174 - An Unforeseen Challenge
Zane remained calm, quietly observing and listening to the banter between them.Clark chuckled at James's reaction, well aware of how James tended to take things to heart. "Haha, James, did my comment sting a little?" he teased, knowing exactly how to provoke a response. Both Clark and Lily had known James long enough to understand his sensitivities.James chose to ignore Clark's jab, instead turning his attention to Zane with a challenging tone. "Mr. Gardner, be honest, I'm sure you're not really a beginner, right? I challenge you in the arena," he declared, a smug grin spreading across his face as he felt he had cornered Zane into admitting something more about his skill level.Lily quickly intervened, her voice laced with concern, "James, what do you mean by that?" She stepped in, aiming to shield Zane from what she perceived as an unfair confrontation.Zane responded calmly, maintaining his composure, "Mr. James, this really is my first time playing. But why should I accept you
The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 175 - The Perils of Pride
Zane and James lined up at the starting line, their motorcycles idling and ready to roar into action. Lily positioned herself to give the signal, her hand poised and ready to drop. The anticipation was palpable, the air thick with the scent of fuel and excitement. "Ready... set..." Lily called out, and with a sharp drop of her hand, they were off.Both riders burst forward with a surge of power, tires kicking up dust as they launched from the start. For the first few moments, they were side by side, but James, with his extensive experience on this particular trail, quickly pulled ahead. His familiarity with every twist and turn, every bump and obstacle, allowed him to navigate with apparent ease. He knew exactly where to speed up and when to slow down, which roots to avoid, and how to angle his bike perfectly through the sharp bends.Zane, however, was not far behind. Though this was only his second time facing this trail, he was a quick study. The previous lap had given him a cr
The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 176 - A Trail of Concern
Meanwhile, Zane continued to ride with impeccable focus and smooth execution, seemingly oblivious to the drama unfolding behind him. He remained unaware of James's predicament, fully concentrated on the challenges before him. Each obstacle was met with precision and confidence, reinforcing his skills and determination with every maneuver.As time passed, the finish line came into view for Zane. A smile spread across his face, fueled by the rush of nearing victory. His excitement was not for the prize itself but for the personal triumph it represented. Winning this challenge was about affirming his ability to adapt and succeed in new and demanding situations.As Zane approached the finish line, Lily spotted him from a distance and couldn't contain her excitement. She waved and jumped up and down, cheering loudly, "Zane, hooray!!" Her voice was filled with enthusiasm as she celebrated his achievement.Zane responded with a broad smile, pulling up to where Lily was standing. He d
The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 177 - Unexpected Hero
Zane sensed the grave possibility that James might have ventured deeper into the hazardous alternate route and met with an accident. Preparing to follow the trail, he turned to Lily with a plan. "Lily, I'm going to go in and track him down," Zane said decisively. "I'll ask the guards to come and pick you up.""No, Zane, I'm coming with you," Lily responded firmly, her voice filled with determination."But, Lily, we don't know how extreme the path inside might be. Wouldn't it be better if you waited here?" Zane expressed his concern.Lily, aware of the alternate route's reputation yet having never traversed it herself, only knew of its challenges through tales from others. Despite this, her resolve was clear. "No, I'm going with you. I won't let you go in there alone," she insisted, her tone resolute.As Zane and Lily were about to enter the risky alternate path, the rumble of approaching motorcycles halted their plans. Five bikes approached; four were ridden by Lily's personal guar
The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 178 - Unexpected Recovery
Zane was deeply immersed in his meditation, channeling the energy around him into his own body. This process required considerable focus and time.While Zane continued his meditative practice, the others waited anxiously, especially Clark. Observing Zane's unusual method, Clark couldn't help but whisper to himself, "Can he really heal someone? What kind of knowledge is he using? Who is he, really?"Despite his doubts, Clark couldn't hide his concern. He had known James's late father and James himself for many years. Their long-standing relationship had fostered a deep emotional bond, amplifying Clark's hope that no further harm would come to James.Zane focused on the most life-threatening of James's injuries—a previously undetected internal bleeding in his abdomen that Clark had initially missed. Placing both hands in front of his chest, Zane then gently laid them on James's stomach, trying to stem the flow of blood within.Channeling all his energy, Zane concentrated on promoti
The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 179 - Gratitude and Grace
As Zane administered his unique form of treatment, James's consciousness ebbed, leaving him only vaguely aware of the events unfolding around him."Mr. Gardner, has James recovered? Did it really work?" Clark asked, his voice laced with hope yet fraught with concern.Zane responded with a gentle smile and a nod, his demeanor calm and reassuring. "Yes, Mr. Clark. It worked," he confirmed.Approaching James, Zane scrutinized his condition closely. Indeed, it appeared that the injuries had been effectively managed. "However," Zane continued, his tone becoming slightly more serious, "regarding Mr. James’s abdomen, although the bleeding has stopped, the area still requires restoration. Mr. James will need to be cautious with his movements."This update brought a mix of relief and caution to Clark. Realizing the effectiveness of Zane's treatment and reflecting on his previous aggression, Clark was filled with remorse. He repeatedly bowed his head in a gesture of apology and gratitude, s

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. "Look over there," he

Chapter 297 - Beyond Victory
The FBI team arrived at the location where Morano and Alessandra were staying. The head of the FBI also received a folder containing evidence of the crimes they had committed. Zane and his team had worked hard to gather all that evidence.After the FBI head opened the folder, he received a phone call, “How is it? The treasure I sent you is valuable, right?”"Lily, thank you. 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. However, Lily had assured his safety long before.Cecilia and Lily were enjoying their snacks when the news quickly spread, shocking the entire public."Ah... I can already feel a vacation vibe here," said Cecilia. "Ms. Lily, can you recommend an interesting holiday destination?""Hm... I'm not sure. I’ve visited a few private family islands. It

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

Afterward, Zane offered to grill some meat for his colleagues, and everyone enjoyed the party.After they successfully completed their first mission, Zane returned to his usual routine. The restaurant he managed grew more popular and busy, and as always, Zane continued to handle his office work with precision and discipline. He constantly strived to complete everything to perfection.Occasionally, Claire would visit him, and they would have lunch together. News about their closeness spread widely, and there were even rumors that they were getting married soon. They just laughed at the rumors, but they didn’t clarify anything either.After Zane successfully handed over Maretti, Harris, and Dominic to the FBI, he also had Cecilia upload all the evidence of their crimes onto the internet. The evidence was easily accessible to netizens,

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

Chapter 292 - A Strategic Triumph
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
