The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 287 - Secrets in the Shadows
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
The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 288 - Deception Behind Closed Doors
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 Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 290 - A Game of Fear and Deception
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
The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 291 - The Game of Illusions
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
The Reign of Zane Gardner 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

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

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.

Chapter 296 - The Ultimate Showdown
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
