The excruciating pain in his arm made Owen's limb numb. Had he not acted swiftly, his arm might have been irreparably damaged.Maple had been confident that Xayne would be easily subdued with Owen's intervention. However, the reality was far more shocking. Xayne not only emerged unscathed but also sent Owen, his greatest asset, flying with a single punch."I already said, no one can stop me from killing the people I want to kill," Xayne reiterated coldly, causing Maple to tremble in fear, his legs shaking uncontrollably."You can't kill him!" Owen, nursing his numb arm, shouted desperately."Do you think I'm joking, or did you not hear what I said?" Xayne raised his foot, preparing to crush Maple's chest."He is the young master of the Eastin family's main branch, the future heir. If you kill him, the Eastin Ace branch will become your enemy. You will have no place to hide," Owen pleaded urgently."No place to hide? That's a new one. Are you threatening me?" Xayne turned his gaze

Upon hearing this, Maple looked at Xayne, who was standing by with a cold smile and seemed to understand the situation.When his gaze shifted to Faye standing aside, a flicker of resentment flashed in his eyes.If it weren't for this vile woman's repeated rejections, he wouldn't have traveled such a long distance to this city and gotten beaten up so badly to the point of having one broken arm. Soon, he might lose both arms.It was all because of this damned woman.Maple failed to recognize his faults, instead placing all the blame on Faye."Sorry, Young Master." In front of Maple, Owen stomped heavily on his joint.With multiple fractures in his arms, Owen no longer had the strength to act delicately, so he had to use this crude method to break Maple's arm.This brutal method was quite different from breaking the arm with hands. The latter might heal with a few months of bed rest, with minimal damage to the bone. However, the trample method caused the bone to shatter, making s

"Your Majesty."Xayne was visibly moved, his gaze fixed intently on the Emperor.The Emperor coughed a few times, then pulled out a golden dragon medallion from his waist. The medallion, made entirely of gold, was engraved with a five-clawed dragon.He looked at the medallion and asked, "Do you know what this golden dragon medallion is?"Xayne looked at the medallion and shook his head. "Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."The Emperor smiled slightly. "This medallion is the emblem of the Grand Marshal of Drakonia. It once belonged to your grandfather. After the incident involving your grandfather, the position of Grand Marshal was abolished."But today, I am reinstating the position of Grand Marshal, to oversee the six new military theaters outside of the Drakonix military theater. Xayne. I am handing this golden dragon medallion to you today. From now on, you will be the new Grand Marshal of Drakonia."At those words, Xayne’s body shook. He quickly said, "Your Majesty, this is

Hammond spoke with a deep concern, his eyes filled with speculation. "Xayne, we're worried that something monumental is about to happen within the Drakonia's power structure. You need to be prepared in advance! The personnel movements across all the major war zones have escalated beyond our control!"Xayne's expression darkened as he absorbed the news. The dense movement of troops across the war zones was not a good sign. It was akin to changing the guard—a prelude to something significant."I understand! Hammond, don't worry about the Northern Plains. If Drakonix faces any danger, I will lead the army to reinforce it!" Xayne declared.Hammond sighed. "It's not that we doubt your resolve. We're concerned that you may lose the authority to command the Northern Plains altogether! The Emperor has not left the Emperor's Pavilion for three days now! All matters have been handed over to the newly formed Cabinet, established just three days ago!""The Cabinet?" Xayne frowned as he was fil

The next day, as the Fusion delegation arrived, Xayne boarded a private jet and left Folksworth for Drakonix.At Drakonix International Airport, Xayne was dressed in full military uniform. He was waiting inside the terminal with 3,000 members of the elite Dragonbreakers Legion.A private jet touched down, and as the door opened, a group of men and women wearing traditional kimonos and wooden clogs descended the stairs.Leading the group was a middle-aged man with a small mustache, clad in a black kimono adorned with a three-comma tomoe symbol. He wore wooden clogs and had a cold expression with a katana sheathed at his waist.Six other men, wearing black kimonos and carrying swords, followed him closely.These were elite warriors from Fusion’s combat division.With just one glance, Xayne could tell that the weakest among them was at least a Supreme Commander-level soldier.It was clear—they did not come with good intentions.The middle-aged man, now standing before Xayne and hi
