Zane and Claire stepped outside and joined the others. Zane gave a speech, expressing his gratitude for the hard work and unity his team had shown. Afterward, Zane offered to grill some meat for his colleagues, and everyone enjoyed the party.After they successfully completed their first mission, Zane returned to his usual routine. The restaurant he managed grew more popular and busy, and as always, Zane continued to handle his office work with precision and discipline. He constantly strived to complete everything to perfection.Occasionally, Claire would visit him, and they would have lunch together. News about their closeness spread widely, and there were even rumors that they were getting married soon. They just laughed at the rumors, but they didn’t clarify anything either.After Zane successfully handed over Maretti, Harris, and Dominic to the FBI, he also had Cecilia upload all the evidence of their crimes onto the internet. The evidence was easily accessible to netizens,
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
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
The FBI team arrived at the location where Morano and Alessandra were staying. The head of the FBI also received a folder containing evidence of the crimes they had committed. Zane and his team had worked hard to gather all that evidence.After the FBI head opened the folder, he received a phone call, “How is it? The treasure I sent you is valuable, right?”"Lily, thank you. You’ve kindly ensured I won't sleep peacefully for some time."Lily chuckled, "Don't worry, you'll be safe."Since the case was gaining significant attention and involved several important figures in the country, the FBI head was receiving threats from various parties. However, Lily had assured his safety long before.Cecilia and Lily were enjoying their snacks when the news quickly spread, shocking the entire public."Ah... I can already feel a vacation vibe here," said Cecilia. "Ms. Lily, can you recommend an interesting holiday destination?""Hm... I'm not sure. I’ve visited a few private family islands. It
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. "Look over there," he
The luxurious Four Dreams Hotel, renowned as one of the finest, gleamed brightly that night. Guests in glamorous attire stepped out of their lavish cars, wearing their finest dresses and suits. A red carpet guided them to the ballroom, adorned with silk drapes, crystal chandeliers, and exquisite white roses. The soft glow of the lights and the gentle hum of the orchestra added to the atmosphere of luxury and excitement. Every detail, from the dishes to the service, was meticulously prepared to welcome the special occasion of Zane and Claire's wedding. Claire stood in front of a large mirror, her magnificent wedding gown fitting her perfectly. Cecilia and Emma stood in awe beside her. “Wow, Ms. Claire, you look absolutely stunning. For the first time, I’m genuinely envious of a woman,” Cecilia chuckled. “Yeah, Claire, you're the luckiest woman alive, marrying Zane. You two are going to be the perfect couple of the century,” Emma added. “Is that so?” Claire looked at h
The warm sun beamed down on Zane’s face, bringing a smile to his lips as he walked towards the grand estate of the Amber family. Today was a special day - his second wedding anniversary with the woman he loved and cherished - Nora Amber.Zane was deeply appreciative of Mr. Ronald Amber, Nora's grandfather, and leader of the prestigious Amber family, for taking him in and giving him a chance at a better life. After years of hardship and poverty, Zane had found himself betrothed to the love of his life, Nora - something that still felt like a distant dream.It wasn't the luxurious lifestyle that came with being part of the Amber family that made Zane happy. It was the love and acceptance they showed him. Growing up without knowing his family background left an emptiness in Zane's heart, but becoming part of the respected and esteemed Amber family filled that void.As he approached the grand mansion where Nora was waiting for him, Zane thought about all the changes his life had undergone
Zane reclined in the plush leather seat of the sleek black luxury car, watching the cityscape recede into the distance outside his tinted window. He couldn't help but marvel at the smooth ride and opulent comfort of this private vehicle.As they left the hustle and bustle behind, Zane found himself sinking deeper into the soft cushions, lost in thought. Where was Alfred taking him?The car wound its way through the outskirts of the city and onto a secluded road leading to the hills."We are on our way to a private estate for you, Master," he said with a slight bow. "We will be arriving shortly."Zane nodded slowly, still trying to piece together this mysterious situation. As they approached a large black gate, Zane's curiosity only grew stronger. The gate opened automatically, revealing a grand brown mansion perched atop a hill like a hidden gem. The car pulled up to the front entrance and came to a stop."This is your new home, Master," Alfred announced with pride.Zane stepped out
