"What? I'm repairing the elevator," the worker lowered his safety helmet and said."But the elevator isn't broken, why are you fixing it? It's been running smoothly," Serena replied."Someone called me yesterday, and said there were jerks during operation, significant vibrations, so I came to check," the worker explained."Okay, go ahead, then." Serena nodded, not paying much attention to him.When the elevator arrived, Serena stepped out.Once Serena had left the elevator, the worker's face under the safety helmet was revealed. It was a disfigured face, eyes filled with malice and madness.He adjusted his toolbox, unzipped it, and began assembling something from inside.Half an hour later, he emerged from the elevator and smirked at the surveillance camera, revealing his zombie-like face.Instead of leaving, he headed toward a room.By the time the worker in blue emerged, it was already 4 PM, which meant he had been inside for six hours.The worker didn't leave immediately.

However, the expected explosion did not occur. Instead, the bomb was split in half.Outside the building, there was a deathly silence at first, followed by an eruption of cheers."Now that the danger has passed, let's get the company employees in to help search. They know the company better and will be more likely to find her," the firefighters suggested.Xayne nodded and swiftly returned inside the building to search room by room.Serena struggled to breathe inside a dusty blue barrel, muttering incoherently, "Xayne, Xayne."Over an hour later, the crowd moved the heavy object off the blue barrel, revealing Serena inside, drenched in sweat and barely breathing."Quick, inform everyone!" A firefighter carried Serena out.When Xayne arrived, he found Serena exhibiting severe physical reactions. If not treated promptly for cerebral hypoxia, she might become an idiot or a vegetable even if she survived.Xayne immediately picked up Serena and rushed her toward the ambulance.Xayne

On the other end of the line, Ace responded respectfully, "Yes, Supreme Commander! I'll deploy the troops right away!"Xayne's eyes glinted with a cold fury after hanging up the phone.The Hwark family had crossed the lines. No matter how deep the Hwark family's roots ran, no matter their connections in the capital, reaching for Serena meant certain death.Meanwhile, Trent was seated at the head of the hall inside the Hwark residence. His face was grim as he pointed angrily at Ryder, who was sitting on the couch."What happened? Why did you fail? What was Nighthawk doing?!"Ryder's face was equally serious. "Dad, don't worry. It's just one failure.""Get Nighthawk in here!" Trent demanded coldly.Soon, a hunched middle-aged man with a sinister look entered the hall, bowing to Trent and Ryder. "Mr. Trent, Mr. Ryder.""How could you mess this up?!" Trent barked, his anger boiling over.Nighthawk immediately dropped to his knees. "I'm sorry, Master. I didn't anticipate the King o

Hearing Leonardo's outburst, Trent frowned slightly and said, "Leonardo, it can't be that serious, right? You work in the Office of General Affairs. I trust your capabilities and connections. You need to hurry back. Also, I've already asked Jaden, Lennox, and Damian to gather manpower. I refuse to believe that the King of the North can destroy our Hwark family in West Dangria!""Trent! You..." Leonardo was sweating profusely in his urgency. "I'll head back right away! But until I get there, don't engage with the King of the North or his people at all!""All right, hurry back," Trent replied and then quickly hung up the phone. His expression darkened immediately as he muttered, "Leonardo has become more cautious after working in the Office of General Affairs."Beside him, the butler, Tom, said, "Master, perhaps Mr. Leonardo is right. After all, it's the King of the North we're talking about. He has eighty thousand troops. Even combined with the forces of Mr. Jaden, Mr. Lennox, and Mr

Hearing these words, Hammond froze before a frown crept onto his face. He said, "Xayne! Don't do anything reckless! I'll consult the Emperor right away. Until then, you must not overstep! Understand?""Fine! Mr. Hammond, I'll give you thirty minutes! If there's no response within thirty minutes, I'll confiscate the Hwark family's weapon ownership rights! If they dare resist, there will be no place for the Hwark family in the West Dangria Military Theater!"Xayne's voice boomed like thunder, intimidating the West Dangria Military Theater officers surrounding him.Then, he hung up the phone.Hammond hurriedly left his study, called for his secretary, and quickly drove to the Drakonia. At the same time, he summoned the other three elders.In the Drakonian Council conference room, Hammond explained the situation. Warren's face darkened as he asked, "Did Xayne say that?""Yes, that rascal! Once he makes up his mind, he won't change it! We need to get the Emperor to agree to revoke the
