At that moment, his phone buzzed with a call from an unknown number.As soon as he picked up, a seductive female voice greeted him. "Xayne, do you remember me?"Xayne frowned while thinking momentarily before responding, "Faye?""Looks like you haven’t forgotten." Faye's voice teased from the other end."What do you want?" Xayne asked coldly."Nothing much. I just wanted to have a chat," she replied."We don’t have anything to talk about," Xayne said with his tone indifferent."Really? What if I told you it’s about Serena?"Upon hearing that, Xayne's expression hardened. "Give me the address."Faye chuckled softly. "I like how direct you are. The Kempinski Hotel, Suite 888."Xayne ended the call, taking a deep breath.'What is Faye planning?!'...Half an hour later, Xayne stood at the door of Suite 888 on the top floor of the Kempinski Hotel. He rubbed his chin as he hesitated briefly before pressing the doorbell.For some reason, Xayne could not shake the feeling that w

He was friendly with everyone, especially the young women who flocked around him. However, if they tried to take things further, he always politely declined.At that moment, a woman in a black, skin-tight workout outfit was stretching on a yoga ball nearby. She had neatly cropped shoulder-length hair, a sharp, slender face, and striking features. Her eyes, though calm, held a certain intensity as if a hidden spark was waiting to ignite.The most curious thing about her, however, was the knife strapped to her waist.Next to her stood a man in a black tank top. His body rippled with lean muscles. He stood there like a towering pine tree, arms crossed with a cold expression and unapproachable. The air around him felt sharp, like the edge of a drawn blade.His face seemed to scream, "Stay away.""Ivo, the old man sent Faye to Folksworth?" The man with chiseled features and a piercing gaze finished his pull-ups. He then jumped down and grabbed a towel to wipe his hands, a smile playi

"Where there's competition, there's conflict. That's normal," Xayne said calmly."Normal competition doesn't scare me, but these bastards aren't playing by the rules," Vernon replied as his anger rose. "Three months ago, they came to me with an offer, asking me to join their business team.""You refused," Xayne guessed."Of course I refused! Even an idiot could see they wanted to use my reputation to boost their own profits. They might even have plans to take over my company," Vernon snarled, his face flushed with anger."After I turned them down, they started harassing me. They demanded protection money, sent fake buyers to trash my products, and even hired thugs to wreck my business," Vernon continued while clenching his fists. "I put up with it because, well, when you're away from home, sometimes you have to eat dirt. But a month ago, when they saw I wouldn't give in, they started targeting my daughter. She's still in college, and they hired people to harass her on campus, eve

Although Xayne had already taken care of the thugs outside, Maison’s group was supposed to be the elite, and he figured there was no way they could lose to Xayne. As he regained his confidence, he shouted, "All of you, get him! Defeat this guy first, then tie up Vernon. I want him to watch as we pin down his wife and daughter!"At Maison’s command, the thugs immediately released Angel and her mother. They then grabbed iron rods from the floor as they charged at Xayne.Xayne did not hesitate. With a single punch, he sent the first thug flying. With a swift kick, he launched another assailant into the air. The two men landed several feet away, crashing to the ground as they coughed up blood.The sight of their fallen comrades stunned Maison and the others. They had not expected Xayne to be so terrifying. He was able to kill them with just casual blows."You can all come at me together," Xayne said as his eyes scanned the remaining men. None dared to step forward, fearing they would e

Just then, Xayne stepped out. Maison and the others quickly stood aside, respectfully making way for him. Angel followed closely behind, her eyes fixed on Xayne's back, her heart filled with an overwhelming sense of happiness.Corvus looked at Xayne with a puzzled expression. "Who are you?"Xayne replied coldly, "Who I am doesn't matter. What you need to remember is that I'm here today to give you a warning."He walked up to Corvus and grabbed him by the throat, lifting him off the ground with one hand. Corvus's strength was nowhere near enough to break free from Xayne's iron grip, and he dangled helplessly in the air as he gasped for breath."This is just a warning. If you dare to mess with them again, I'll crush you like an ant." Xayne spoke these words slowly, tightening his grip just enough to drive the point home. Corvus's eyes rolled back, and his tongue lolled out as he felt the cold grip of death closing in.At that moment, Corvus truly understood what it meant to face d
