The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 242 - Heightened Awareness
As dawn approached, the sun had yet to fully rise, casting a gentle glow across the sky. Despite the early hour, Zane was already awake, his routine starting earlier than most. He decided to indulge in a soothing bath, letting the warm water envelop his body. As he submerged himself completely in the bathtub, he could feel the tension melting away, his muscles gaining a newfound sense of strength and relaxation. Zane reveled in this moment of peace, noticing that he could now stay submerged in the water for a longer period than usual. "It seems like I can last longer in the water than usual. Could this also be due to the influence of my cultivation level?" he muttered to himself.Suddenly, his tranquility was interrupted by the sound of footsteps coming to a halt outside his apartment door. Startled, Zane emerged from the water, quickly washing his face and wiping away the droplets that clung to his skin. "Cecilia?" he muttered under his breath, his voice barely audible. He li
The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 243 - Real-Life Heroics
Zane shifted his gaze to the area behind the woman, sensing something was amiss. "This is bad," he muttered under his breath, his eyes narrowing as he observed the situation unfold.A man wearing a black cap and a gray jumper jacket was rapidly approaching on a bicycle, his intent clear. The man’s eyes were locked onto the woman, who remained blissfully unaware of the impending danger.Suddenly, the sound of a distressed cry pierced the air. The man had successfully snatched the handbag that was draped over the woman's arm. "Help! Someone help! My bag has been stolen!" the woman screamed, her voice echoing with panic and desperation.Instinctively, she tried to chase after the man, her movements frantic and filled with urgency. However, it was in vain. The man pedaled furiously, putting more distance between them with each passing second. The speed at which he moved made it impossible for her to keep up.Out of breath and defeated, the woman came to a halt. She clutched her che
The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 244 - Laura Moore
Zane stood upright and composed, showing no signs of fatigue or even being out of breath. Although he had exercised by running around the park several times and sprinting at high speed, he only took one deep breath, feeling a sense of relief as he finally subdued the thief. He rubbed his hands together as if cleaning them, then walked over to the thief and picked up the bag belonging to the woman who had been robbed. Zane glanced at the thief, using his cultivation strength to assess him. "Thank goodness, he's still alive," he murmured to himself. Zane had no intention of causing serious injury; he only wanted to knock the thief out to make it easier for the authorities to handle. Through his observation, Zane confirmed that the man was merely unconscious from the kick he had delivered. With the situation under control, Zane reached into the pocket of his pants and pulled out his phone. He dialed the police to report the incident and ensure the thief would be taken care of pro
The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 245 - A Surprising Connection
Zane had just met Laura. He felt a strange sense of familiarity towards her, as if they had met before, but he couldn't quite place her. She, on the other hand, seemed not to know him at all.With a bright smile, she said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Gardner."Zane returned her smile and nodded, "Of course, Ms. Moore. It's a pleasure to meet you too."Laura hesitated for a moment, then offered tentatively, "Mr. Gardner, would you like to grab a coffee after our morning run? I mean, you did save me from that pickpocket, so I'd like to thank you with a cup of coffee, if you're willing."Her offer left Zane a bit puzzled. They had only just met, and it felt unusual to accept such a sudden invitation for coffee. Yet, the sincerity in her eyes made him pause and consider.After a moment of thought, Zane decided to accept Laura's offer. "Of course, I'd be happy to," he replied with a warm smile.They grabbed a coffee at Zane's favorite place. The cozy ambiance of the cafe was welc

Your food always tastes so delicious,” Zane complimented her with a warm smile.Cecilia chuckled softly, clearly pleased by the praise. “Really, boss? I could cook for you every day.”Zane laughed and shook his head. “No, Cecil, that’s not what I meant,” he clarified, wanting to steer the conversation in a different direction. “Cecil, have you and Celine finished the car design?”With a confident nod, Cecilia replied, “Of course, boss. I’ve also mastered every detail about the car.”“That’s great to hear,” Zane responded, his tone serious but encouraging. “Today, I’m holding a meeting with the production team, and I’d like you to join my team, Cecil. What do you think?”Cecilia looked thoughtful for a moment before asking, “Hm, is that really okay, boss?”“Of course, there’s nothing

Beside him was Cecilia. This was her first time coming to and working at the office. It was also the first time she wore an executive outfit; she usually preferred a more casual look."Are you nervous, Cecil?" Zane asked, glancing at her.Cecilia quickly shook her head, "Hmm, maybe a little. But don't worry, boss. I can handle it."Despite it being her first time in a corporate environment, her intelligence allowed her to maintain a calm and composed demeanor. "Good," Zane replied simply, his voice steady and reassuring.They headed straight to the meeting room. The entire production team was already waiting inside, including Jasmine.

Zane and the other meeting participants listened attentively as Cecilia began her presentation.

"FalconX is a highly advanced flying car designed to revolutionize human transportation. With cutting-edge technology and a futuristic design, FalconX offers a driving experience like no other."Cecilia then proceeded to explain the various features of the FalconX flying car in great detail.

The planning and conceptualization meeting had finally come to an end. Zane stepped out of the conference room, followed closely by Jasmine, his diligent assistant. The room was filled with the remnants of an intense brainstorming session—papers scattered, whiteboard scribbles, and the faint hum of a projector winding down. Before fully exiting, Zane paused and turned back to address Cecilia, who was meticulously gathering the remaining documents."Cecil," he called out, his voice firm yet friendly. "After you finish here, please come to my office. Jasmine will show you your new workspace."Cecilia looked up from her task, her eyes meeting Zane's with a blend of professionalism and warmth. "Of course, Mr. Gardner, thank you," she replied, her tone respectful but with a hint of playfulness. She couldn’t resist adding a touch of mischief, as she discreetly winked at him. The gesture was subtle but enough to bring a slight smile to Zane's lips.Jennifer and the others were still in

"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, who had been sitting in a luxurious swivel chair behind his desk, now walked towards Zane. They were face to face.

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.

"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.
