The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 184 - The Defense of Innocence
Zane stood next to the unconscious motorcyclist, his presence drawing unwarranted accusations from the gathering crowd. The bystanders, quick to judge based on mere appearances, pushed him into a defensive corner, demanding that he admit fault and take responsibility for the accident.From inside the car, Claire watched the scene unfold with a growing sense of dread. She had feared something like this might happen, and now, seeing Zane surrounded and blamed for something he hadn’t done, she couldn’t just sit back and watch. With a click of her tongue to express her frustration, she quickly stepped out of the car and moved to stand by Zane's side, her expression one of firm confidence.Attempting to bring some calm to the tense situation, Claire addressed the crowd, "I’m sorry, but there seems to be a misunderstanding here. This man is my friend, and I was in the car with him when this incident occurred." She paused, hoping her words would sink in as she continued to defend Zane, "
The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 185 - Trouble Strikes Twice
Zane calmly assisted the fallen motorcyclist, leveraging his keen awareness to assess the man's condition. With a practiced eye due to his cultivation ability, Zane could tell that, fortunately, the man wasn't seriously injured—there was nothing that posed a danger to his health.

The recklessness of the motorcyclist had nearly resulted in her and Zane facing false accusations and harsh judgments from the surrounding crowd.Feeling a deep sense of guilt for the trouble he had caused, the motorcyclist addressed everyone around him. He wanted to clear up any misunderstandings immediately. "Everyone, I'm okay, I was just momentarily shocked. But I truly haven't suffered any injuries," he assured them. His voice carried a tone of sincerity, hoping to convince the onlookers and alleviate the tension that had built up.Hearing the motorcyclist's admission, the crowd's reaction was mixed.

The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 186 - Reserved Chaos
Discovering their reserved seats were occupied by others certainly threw Zane and Claire for a loop. Claire was initially taken aback, but quickly confirmed the seat numbers, reassuring herself that these were indeed the seats she had booked."Are you sure those are our seats, Claire?" Zane asked, a slight edge of doubt in his voice as he peered at the occupied chairs."Absolutely, I remember perfectly," she replied, leaning closer to whisper to Zane, "It looks like someone irresponsible has taken our seats."Zane, who also remembered the seat numbers Claire had shared with him earlier, frowned slightly in frustration. This was not what they had hoped for, especially after the stressful events they had already endured that evening. Zane, maintaining his calm demeanor, approached the couple occupying their seats with a polite request. "Excuse me, could you please move from these seats? We have reserved them," he stated clearly, trying to handle the situation amicably.The couple lo
The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 187 - Turmoil at the Concert Hall
The security officer, having confirmed the legitimacy of Claire and Zane's tickets, shook his head in disappointment at the couple's stubbornness. "You already know these aren't your seats, yet you insist on sitting here. You should leave now, don't prolong this disturbance," he said sternly.An annoyed spectator, tired of the ongoing disruption, shouted, "Ah, this is ridiculous! What are you waiting for? Get out of here! I didn't pay good money to watch you argue."Another voice from the crowd joined in, expressing frustration, "hey, officer, just kick them out already, drag them out if you have to. They're dragging this on too much."A third spectator chimed in, casting a disdainful glance at the couple, "They are such an inconsiderate pair, better you leave right now. This is truly embarrassing."The tension in the air escalated dramatically when an empty water bottle flew from the back of the crowd, striking the woman in the back of her head.

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.

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.
