The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 98 - A Lighthearted Discussion
Zane and Olivia found themselves seated at a cozy corner table in Zane's favorite café, a place he frequented every time he finished his morning run.They chose a spot away from the hustle and bustle of other patrons, offering them a semblance of privacy in the otherwise busy establishment.Olivia sat across from Zane, leaning back in her chair and crossing her arms, surveying their surroundings. "So, you come here often for coffee, Zane?""Yes, nearly every day. After my morning run in the park, I sometimes stop by to enjoy a cup of coffee here," Zane explained."You have some impressive habits, Zane. I'm becoming more and more impressed by you," Olivia chuckled, still wearing her sunglasses. When she took them off, many of the staff and other customers recognized her."Hey, isn't that Olivia Wilson? The rising model?" exclaimed someone."I can hardly believe it, but yes, it's her!""To think I'd run into her here this early in the morning.""Look at her, she's even more beautiful in
The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 99 - A Pesky Problem
As Zane and Olivia were nearing the end of their conversation, they caught the attention of a man and a woman observing them from a distance. These observers, both in their forties, were colleagues at the Amber Corporation and were familiar with Zane's troubled past. However, they have no idea regarding Zane's current circumstances and were also strangers to Olivia, given their lack of activity on social media."Wait, isn't that Zane Gardner?" the man asked, squinting to make sure of what he was seeing.The woman beside him turned towards Zane and confirmed, "Oh, yes, that's definitely him.""Ever since his divorce from Mrs. Nora, I haven't seen him around," the woman continued. As she noticed Olivia sitting across from Zane, curiosity piqued. "Who's the woman with him? His new girlfriend?""I have no idea, but it seems unlikely. That woman is far too beautiful. How could she possibly be interested in Zane, who's got nothing to his name?" the man disparaged. "I'm convinced Zane must b
The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 100 - He's Really Wealthy
Zane maintained his calm demeanor, facing Marck, who waited with a smug expression, eagerly anticipating Zane's submission. Yet, Zane's response was not what Marck had expected."Why should I clean it? I don't feel guilty, and I know you did that on purpose, right?" Zane asked, his tone relaxed."What do you mean?" Marck asked, a hint of surprise in his voice as he wondered, "How could he know?" Nonetheless, he persisted in his righteousness."Mr. Brown, do you really think I'm unaware? I noticed your presence from the beginning, and I even saw your sly smile as I was about to walk past you," Zane stated directly.Marck's expression shifted to slight shock at Zane's assertion, but he continued to deny, "W-what? Do you have proof that I did it intentionally? Foolish, no one will believe your word."Marck reiterated, "Stop the nonsense, you've dirtied my shoe, so I want you to kneel and apologize, then clean it right here. Or, you'll have to replace my expensive shoe!"Zane considered t
The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 101 - The Path to Strength
As the sun's rays peeked through the window of Zane's room, he was in the shower, embracing the morning's freshness with cold water cascading over his body. The sensation of the water on his skin allowed him to relax, his mind wandering to the challenge that lay ahead with Marco and the safety of Tailor's orphanage. "I need to find a way to stop them before it's too late," he murmured to himself, contemplating his next move.Suddenly, amidst his contemplation and the solitude of the shower, a bright green text appeared in his vision, breaking the monotony of the closed eyelids.[Hello, Host.]"System?" Zane exclaimed, startled, instinctively covering himself. "Why are you showing up now? I'm in the shower," he protested, the surprise evident in his voice.[Don't worry, host. I am merely a system. I lack a physical form or the ability to perceive your physical appearance.]Gradually, Zane relaxed, realizing the system's presence was non-invasive and purely informational. Yet, the no
The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 102 - Unexpected Encounters
Zane remained in a bent position for a moment, his fist stopping just inches from Daniel's face, a testament to his control and precision. Daniel couldn't help but marvel internally at the display of skill. "This is unbelievable; he can't possibly be a beginner. His movements are too swift and accurate," he thought to himself.Regaining his initial stance, Zane offered a respectful bow towards Daniel. "I'm sorry, Mr. Evans," he said, his tone sincere."That's extraordinary, Mr. Gardner," said Daniel admiringly.As Daniel was about to express his admiration for Zane and inquire about the true extent of his martial arts knowledge. However, before he could voice his thoughts, a round of soft applause echoed from a short distance away, drawing their attention."Mr. Daniel, aren't you training a beginner? How could you be so easily defeated by him?" a woman asked, her voice filled with amusement as she approached them."Haha, hello, Ms. Watson. My apologies for keeping you waiting," Dan
The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 103 - A Test of Strength
Zane sat quietly on the sofa within Charles's office, contemplating the gravity of the request before him. The Prime Minister's wife, a figure of significant importance within the country, now potentially rested in his hands for healing. He harbored no intention of exploiting the situation for any gain. Instead, the prospect of helping her recover made him have a goal, namely to find out the extent of her abilities in treatment.Although acknowledging the challenges it poses.Charles, known as one of the wealthiest individuals in the nation, unsurprisingly had close ties with key figures, including the Prime Minister himself. He shared with Zane, "The Prime Minister reached out to me a few days ago. He inquired about who had successfully treated Claire, so I told him it was you who had helped her recover."Zane nodded, fully understanding the weight of the conversation. While his experience in healing critical illnesses was limited, he felt ready to take on this challenge.Observin
The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 104 - The Prime Minister's Plea
As Zane and Cedric made their way inside, the two guards respectfully opened the door, slightly bowing their heads. Despite complying with the orders, curiosity lingered in their minds about the real identity of Zane. Given the critical condition of the Prime Minister's wife, which was a closely guarded secret, it was intriguing that Zane, apparently a foreigner, was summoned."Who do you think Zane Gardner is? I've never heard of him before," said the first guard, his tone laced with curiosity."I'm not sure, but the name rings a bell," the second guard replied, pausing to rack his brain. "Ah, I remember now. He's the one who treated Mr. Charles Scott's only grandchild. Do you recall that news?""Oh, right. I remember now. So, he's quite young, huh? Could he be here to treat the Prime Minister's wife?" asked the first guard, his voice tinged with surprise."Possibly. But honestly, after seeing him, I'm not entirely convinced he's capable of treating anyone," the second guard expres
The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 105 - Olivia's Intervention
Zane and Jack approached the door to the room where Jack's wife was being treated, the air was thick with a mixture of hope and apprehension."Mr. Gardner, I don't want to burden you," Jack spoke softly, pausing at the door. "I only ask that you do your best for my wife, if you believe you can help her."Zane nodded, his smile conveying understanding and resolve. "Of course, Mr. Watson."Jack slowly opened the door, taking a deep breath. He had previously explained to his in-laws about inviting Zane to attempt treatment, but they had been skeptical. They had heard rumors that Zane's previous success might have been more luck than skill. Despite their doubts, Jack, having heard about Zane from Charles Scott, decided to trust his judgment.The room was cloaked in a heavy silence, punctuated only by the steady beeps of the patient monitor. Inside, they found Jack's wife's personal doctor and a trusted assistant who had been employed to care for her. Her parents were also present, thei

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.

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

Chapter 293 - Caught in the Spotlight
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?" "Can't you read the headline clearly?" "This is the biggest public deception. I always thought they were

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

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
