Zane sat beside Alfred, while John sat on the other side of the modern, plush sofa.

Zane began to speak, “Grandfather, I didn’t expect this place to be so advanced, especially with the entrance hidden in a seemingly untouched cave.”

“Yes, all of this is thanks to Alfred. He helped me acquire this advanced equipment,” John replied. He continued, “Zane, I’ve heard from Alfred that your cultivation has improved significantly. I’m very proud of you.”

“Grandfather, I should be the one thanking you for granting me this incredible power,” Zane responded.

John smiled, “I’m glad you’ve grown so well, Zane, even though your late wife’s family treated you poorly.”

“That was just a part of my journey to where I am now. It doesn’t matter at all, Grandfather,” Zane replied.

John stood up and motioned for Zane to follow him. “Come with me, Zane.”

This was a moment John had long awaited. As they walked toward a room, John said, “Alfred has told me a lot about your life, including your current mission

    As soon as Zane swallowed the crystal, he felt a faint vibration coursing through his body, as if energy was moving beneath his skin. The sensation made his heart beat stronger, his senses sharpen, and his vision become clearer. Colors around him grew more vivid and intense, as though his perception had been heightened. Zane felt a sudden urge to step forward, but as he did, he didn’t move physically—he faded out of existence. In the blink of an eye, Zane found himself standing in a completely different spot, right in front of a wall. Startled, he lost his balance and fell. “Hahaha,” John laughed, amused by Zane’s clumsy reaction. John walked over to him and helped him up, firmly gripping Zane’s arms. He smiled, proud and satisfied. “Zane, now you can use this power to complete your mission,” John said. Zane smiled and nodded, his excitement barely contained. After gaining this new power, Zane practiced his teleportation ability at the house his grandfather had gi

    The FalconX launch event was about to begin. Before Zane, as the CEO, entered to start the event, Maretti and Harris were seen sitting side by side.“Why are you here at this event, Harris?” Maretti asked irritably. “Don’t mess up my plans.”Previously, Maretti had planned to attend the event alone, without Harris. Maretti intended to flirt with Zane during the event and entice him into continuing the evening with dinner. After that, Harris would follow and capture Zane. However, Harris suddenly changed the plan.“Haha, don’t worry. I’ll make sure our plan goes smoothly,” he replied.“Besides, you said you’re not familiar with Zane and always end up in confrontations with him. But why aren’t you embarrassed to show your face in front of him? What an idiot,” she said.“How could I miss this? It’s a major event, and I’m representing my company here. So, it’s an opportunity not to be wasted,” he replied.“Disgusting, what a shameless person,” she said.Maretti stepped on his foot, caus

    That night, the fake Zane and Maretti were already seated in a VIP dining room at the restaurant. They sat across from each other.Even though they were in a VIP room, Maretti had rented out all the seats in the restaurant. She did this because she didn’t want anyone to know about the event.At that moment, Cedric, Maretti’s bodyguard, was standing watch outside the VIP room door. Morano had instructed all the leaders of The Crimson that their mission was a secret.Maretti had changed her dress. She was now wearing a short black dress with thin straps tied behind her neck. The dress had a low neckline, revealing part of her chest. Her outfit was sexy and provocative.“Zane Gardner, finally, I get to meet a successful young CEO like you,” Maretti said.“Yes, of course. I’m also pleased to meet a successful young entrepreneur like you. I have much to learn from you,” replied the fake Zane.Maretti leaned forward slightly, showing a bit more of her chest. “But are you sure I’m just a

    One hour before Dominic arrived.That night, Dominic was on his way to a bar. However, while he sat in the back seat of his car, a voice message came in. “Maretti?” he muttered, opening the message. "Idiots, did they make a mistake?"At that moment, he realized that Maretti and Harris were carrying out a mission to trap Zane and deliver him alive to Morano, the number one leader of The Crimson Syndicate. “Dominic, come to the restaurant immediately, we need your help now! Otherwise, we’ll be in serious trouble.”He trembled upon hearing the voice message, imagining that this trouble might be connected to Morano. “Turn around, now!” he ordered his personal driver. He quickly made a U-turn and headed straight for the restaurant where Maretti was. Though Morano appeared calm and composed, he held many mysteries that none of the other members knew about.Meanwhile, Cecilia, managing everything from a distance, had hacked into the entire CCTV system of the restaurant where Maretti

    The fake Zane let out a booming laugh, causing the three leaders of The Crimson to become alert.“I never expected that the people who are so well-known for their wealth and cruelty would turn out to be just a bunch of fools.”“You bastard! Who are you really?!” Maretti asked, shocked by Zane’s sudden change in demeanor.Then, without the sound of a door opening, someone suddenly appeared behind Maretti.It was the real Zane, using his teleportation ability. He was dressed in all black, wearing a black hat and mask.He smiled and leaned slightly toward Maretti’s ear, whispering, “Were you looking for me?”Maretti and Harris were startled by Zane’s sudden appearance.“Who are you?!” Maretti quickly shifted and looked behind her.She was shocked to see who was clearly standing behind her. “How did you appear behind me so suddenly?!”“Are you afraid, Ms. Maretti? I just wanted to have a little fun with you, the feared leaders of The Crimson... But it seems you're not as terrifying as peo

    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

"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 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, 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.
