The once-proud fortifications of the Pavona were effortlessly crushed by the advancing Northern Plains Army's armored vehicles, leaving them in ruins. The Pavona soldiers were in complete disarray. Their worldview had been shattered by the sheer force and dominance of the Northern Plains Army, and they had completely lost the will to fight.In the face of such overwhelming power, Xayne's strategy was straightforward and effective. He could have devised a thousand different attack plans, but this relentless, brute-force approach was the most direct and deadly.As the Northern Plains Army's tanks crushed through the fortifications, the psychological defenses of the Pavona soldiers crumbled just as easily. Watching their defenses being systematically destroyed in the dead of night, they lost all courage to fight against the thousands of Northern Plains soldiers led by Xayne.Many Pavona soldiers began to retreat in panic, heading toward the command center, their last line of defens

With that, Xayne left the airport.Lexter's invitation was set for a week later.Although Xayne didn't understand the delay, he quickly realized Lexter was likely preparing something secretly.Therefore, Xayne wasn’t in a rush. He decided to use the time to give Healers Valley a choice.If Lexter didn't back down in time, Xayne wouldn't mind ensuring that he stayed in Folksworth permanently.When Xayne returned to the villa, he hugged Coco, lovingly playing with her.He missed his daughter dearly, even after just one day apart.Xayne simply wished to spend as much time as possible with Coco during her childhood.That evening, when Serena came back, she was not very happy."What's wrong? You don't look well."Xayne walked over to Serena, lying on the sofa, and asked with concern while gently massaging her back.Serena closed her eyes, letting out a comfortable sigh. "The company has been too busy lately. Our new product is facing some issues. We don’t have enough sales channel

Meanwhile, a mid-sized villa stood in the affluent district of Folksworth. The villa boasted various luxurious features, including a garden, artificial hills, and a fountain, giving it an upscale feel.A few days ago, Barty purchased this villa as his residence. The ease with which he bought this mid-sized villa spoke volumes about the Hwark family's immense wealth."Mr. Barty, she's in the car now," said a man wearing glasses."Got it. You can go now."A middle-aged man with a corpulent figure lounged in an executive chair, his body causing the chair to creak under the weight.This was Barty, the general manager of the Hwark family's Folksworth branch and a senior member of the Hwark family.Sitting opposite him was a man in his thirties, reading through some documents. His name was Ansel Hwark, and he was also a senior member of the Hwark family and the second-in-command at the branch."She's here and she came alone," Barty said."With our strength, it's only a matter of time

"At least you're not entirely a fool." Barty had no need to deny it, so he nodded."Hmph, dream on. You think tying me up is gonna work?" Serena retorted."Whether it works isn't up to you. Before coming here, we did our research. Your husband dotes on you immensely. You're his only weakness. If we can use you well, even the arrogant King of the North will bow before the Hwark family, submitting to us in the West Dangria," Barty sneered.This was their plan, the two brothers' scheme.If even the King of the North from Drakonia were to submit to the Hwark family, they could become the foremost clan in the country."You're despicable and shameless," Serena cursed."Enough of that. Go ahead and curse all you want. Let's see how your husband reacts when he finds out you've been kidnapped," Barty said, centering Serena in a video.Before long, both Barty and Ansel appeared."Make the call," Barty instructed.Ansel chuckled and immediately dialed a number."Hello, Serena Group? You

Upon hearing Xayne's words, the Hwark brothers instinctively trembled. They felt a bone-chilling coldness and murderous intent radiating from Xayne. He might destroy the Hwark family.At that moment, they were filled with immense dread.Xayne coldly glanced at them and ordered the soldiers behind him, "Capture them and notify the Hwark Family. If they want these men back, they must offer the sincerest apology. Otherwise, these two will never return to West Dangria. My three hundred thousand Dragonbreakers Legion will personally step foot in West Dangria.""Yes, Supreme Commander." a deputy officer respectfully replied.With that, Xayne left the villa.Outside the villa, Serena was already waiting for him in the car. Xayne had sent someone to escort her out because he didn't want her to see the miserable state of those two bastards. Otherwise, she would surely have nightmares tonight."I'm sorry for frightening you," Xayne said softly."No. It's okay," Serena replied nervously,
