The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 203 - Unveiling Secrets
Zane sat comfortably on the plush sofa in Emma's office. He had arranged this meeting to discuss a significant issue involving a bet he had made with Jack. Jack was the leader of a local mafia group that operated in Sunhaven, extorting illegal taxes from business owners. Recently, Jack had raised the monthly fee that Zane had to pay, but Zane had refused to comply. As a result, they had agreed to settle the matter with a car race."Emma, Jack contacted me yesterday," Zane began. "He wants the race to take place in two weeks.""Two weeks?" Emma asked, concern evident in her voice. "Zane, are you sure you're okay with this? I'm worried because you've never done anything like this before."Zane smiled and shook his head. "Don't worry, Emma. I'm fine."They sat in silence for a moment before Zane continued, "I'll use these two weeks to practice.""That's good, Zane. But do you know who you'll train with?" Emma asked."No, I don't know any professional race car drivers," Zane admitted.
The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 204 - Embracing Awkwardness
Hearing the door suddenly swing open caught Emma completely off guard, making her instantly break free from Zane's warm embrace. The waitress, caught in the awkward moment, bowed her head and repeatedly bent forward in an attempt to avoid Emma and Zane's gaze, while stammering out apologies."Boss, I'm terribly sorry, I had no idea you were there. I only knocked very lightly on the door, but it unexpectedly swung open on its own," she explained in a rush, her voice laced with panic. "Please forgive me, I was merely bringing your order."Caught in the sudden intrusion, Emma found herself momentarily speechless, her mind racing for the right words. Her cheeks turned a deep shade of red, a visible sign of her embarrassment and nervousness. She hastily stood up and waved both hands at the waitress in a reassuring gesture."Oh, no, it’s really okay, don't worry about it," she said quickly, her tone eager to dispel any misunderstandings. "Please, it’s not what it looks like," Emma conti
The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 205 - The Legendary Coach
Several days after Zane and Jack, the local mafia boss notorious for extorting city businessmen, agreed on the timing of the race challenge, Zane was gearing up to begin his training sessions with Stephen, a seasoned former professional racer.Recognizing the difficulty of the challenge ahead, Zane had previously asked Emma to find him a professional racing coach. He understood that this race was no walk in the park and that he needed expert guidance to stand a chance against Jack.Despite never having raced before, Zane remained confident in his instincts and his understanding of cars. Even though he lacked experience, he believed in his cultivation ability to learn quickly and adapt to the demands of the race.Beneath his calm exterior, Zane harbored a strong desire to emerge victorious in the race. He saw it as an opportunity to make a positive impact on the community, using any winnings for the greater good.That morning, Zane arrived at a modest racing arena, offering an aspha
The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 206 - Racing Training Starts
Not long after the brief introduction between Zane and Stephen, two racing cars pulled up and parked right next to them. One was Stephen's personal race car, and the other was a rental car that Zane would be using.Zane had opted to rent a car first since he had never raced before. Emma had also asked Stephen to choose the best type of car for a beginner like Zane. Besides being a former international racer, Stephen also ran a racing car rental business."Alright, Mr. Gardner," Stephen began, his tone serious but encouraging. "No matter how good your instincts are, you're still a beginner in the world of racing. We'll start everything from the basics.""Of course, Mr. Stephen," Zane replied enthusiastically.Stephen nodded approvingly. "Good. The car I've chosen for you is designed for beginners. It's powerful enough to give you a real racing experience but also forgiving enough to handle mistakes."Stephen clapped his hands enthusiastically. "Let's begin with a tour of the car. Und
The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 207 - Zane's First Lap
Zane stepped into the cockpit of his sleek, shining race car. Carefully, he pulled the strong harness seatbelt and clicked it into place, securing himself in the steel and carbon heart of this speed monster. His hands gripped the steering wheel, fingers tracing the lines and textures that were starting to feel familiar.Closing his eyes for a moment, Zane took a deep breath, feeling his pulse and the flow of blood through his veins synchronize with the machinery around him. In that stillness, with his unique cultivation abilities, it felt as if he had been doing this for years. This latent skill, like an old instinct rekindled, gave him an almost mystical confidence.Stephen, noticing Zane's calm and focused demeanor, gave him a reassuring nod. "Ready, Mr. Gardner? Remember, smooth inputs and trust your instincts."Zane opened his eyes and nodded back. "Of course. I'll do this."As he started the engine, the powerful roar filled the air, resonating in his chest. Zane's senses hei
The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 208 - A New Assistant
Zane stepped out of his car and removed his helmet. He was immediately greeted enthusiastically by Emma. She jumped lightly and ran toward Zane, hugging him tightly. Zane gently patted her back.“Zane, congratulations!” she said, releasing her hug. “That was amazing! I’m always amazed at the new things you take on. How can you call yourself a beginner with a performance like that?”Zane smiled and replied, “Thank you, Emma.”Alfred and Stephen walked up to Zane. Alfred spoke first, “Master, congratulations. Your first attempt was very smooth. It didn’t look like a beginner’s performance at all.”“Thank you, Alfred,” Zane responded warmly.Stephen, with a proud smile, patted Zane on the shoulder twice. “Mr. Gardner, you were incredible. This is the first time I’ve given training and seen someone absorb and apply it so easily. You make me proud, haha.”Emma, standing beside Zane with her arm around his, said to Stephen, “So, Stephen, I didn’t disappoint you, did I?”“Of course not, Emm

He was the one who received an offer for a promotion to that position.Despite knowing it wouldn't be easy, especially as he was a newcomer to the company, he remained hopeful. His rapid rise to the position of General Manager had already caused a stir among many, and now he was aiming for the highest position in the company.Hearing the information Claire provided, Zane nodded thoughtfully. "That's great. I'll start preparing the proposal for the new car model.""But Zane, did you design it all by yourself? That's incredible!" Claire exclaimed in admiration.Zane shook his head and smiled. "No, Claire. I collaborated with someone. She's a close friend of Cecilia.""So, you mean she designed the car?" Claire asked, her curiosity piqued."Yes, that's right, Claire," Zane confirmed."Wow, that's amazing! I'm really curious about her now. Would you introduce me to her, Zane? Maybe
The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 210 - The Perfect Location
Previously, Zane played the role of Lily's Muay Thai trainer, holding weekly sessions to help her improve her skills. However, due to a work assignment that required Lily to travel abroad for several weeks, their training schedule had to be put on hold.“"It feels like it was a long time ago, doesn't it?" Ha ha.” Lily said with a light chuckle, her eyes sparkling with humor.Lily walked over and gracefully sat down on the sofa, crossing her legs elegantly. Zane followed and took a seat on the opposite end of the sofa, facing her.“How has your work been, Lily? Is everything sorted out now?” Zane asked, his tone friendly and concerned.Lily crossed her arms and leaned back slightly, letting out a small sigh, “Yeah, it’s all done. The work took quite a long time and it was pretty exhausting. I had to deal with so many things at once, it gave me a bit of a headache.”Zane smiled warmly, responding with a playful tone, “But you seem to be handling it well. You look as radiant as ever.”

"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.

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.

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.

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?"

"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.
