Serena motioned to reach for the mask, but Xayne approached with the hot porridge and sat down. He said smilingly, “Eat it while it’s hot. How was the gala?”Serena accepted the bowl and hesitated to discuss what had happened at the gala. She smiled and replied, “It was okay. I got tired, so I came home early.”Xayne nodded without saying much, feeling apprehensive. Luckily, he returned home early. Otherwise, Serena would have discovered his lie.Serena forgot about the white mask as she finished the porridge. Soon after, she went to the bedroom, her enthusiasm somewhat dampened.Puzzled, Coco turned to Xayne and said, "Daddy, Mommy looks sad."Xayne patted Coco's head and reassured her, "It's nothing."Afterward, he picked up the white mask from the corner of the sofa and placed it deep inside a cabinet. He narrowly avoided Serena seeing it.Meanwhile, Abel had already returned to his hotel. He raged and smashed everything in his room as he cursed. "Damn it! Who the hell was th

Randall trembled as he prostrated on the ground without hesitation. He stammered, "I-I...It was Abel, the heir to the Ghazali family."Upon hearing this, Xayne's eyes gleamed sharply.‘So it’s him after all.’Although Xayne had guessed it was Abel when Randall appeared, he still wanted confirmation. Every crime had a perpetrator, but Xayne despised wrongly accusing an innocent person.When Randall knew he could no longer stay with Abel after ratting his boss out. His current situation left him with no choice. He could only beg for mercy from the formidable figure before him and then leave Shalholm.‘No, I must leave the capital. N-No! I must leave Drakonia! My best option is to return to Westfordia.’Although it was a land of bloodshed and carnage, the courtyard made Randall feel as if armies and a sea of blood had surrounded him.The tall figure in the darkness spoke faintly, "How do you think you should die?"Gulp! Randall was startled as sweat poured down his forehead. He

Violet didn’t beat around the bush and retorted, "Xayne, how much will it cost to leave my daughter?"Xayne frowned. "Do you even realize what you're saying?"Violet pointed at Xayne and scolded, "You’re a penniless nobody who has been around for so long, yet I haven't seen you bring anything to my family! I want you to divorce my daughter. My daughter should marry Mr. White, not be with a good-for-nothing like you."‘Mr. White?'Xayne narrowed his eyes and smirked. ‘It seems Violet wants “Mr. White” to be her son-in-law. Little does she know I’m Mr. White, the man she deems a good-for-nothing.’Xayne spoke calmly, "First, I will not divorce Serena. Second, I ask you to leave our courtyard."Serena tugged at Xayne's arm and whispered, "Please be more polite. She's my mother, after all."Violet grew furious as she berated Xayne, "You've gone too far! Do you think you can kick me out? Don’t forget that I’m your mother-in-law."Immediately after, she left with Royce. Serena sa

Evaline excitedly began deciding what to buy. "This one, and this one, oh, and this one too. I want to try them all on."She pointed at several jade pendants and rings, each costing tens of thousands.Serena tugged at Xayne, preparing to leave. Suddenly, Todd said, "Ms. Serena, leaving so soon? I noticed you were interested in a bracelet. How about you pick one, and I'll buy it for you as a gift?"Serena was shocked but quickly shook her head. "No...no need, Mr. Todd."Immediately after, she pulled Xayne to leave. However, Todd didn’t let up. "Don’t look down on me, Ms. Serena. When a woman goes out shopping and sees something she likes, she should buy it. Can your husband not afford it?“Don't worry, I’m wealthy and can buy it for you if you agree to have a meal with me. How about it?"Todd disregarded Xayne, openly saying such things. His statement left Serena stunned. She was offended, saying, "Mr. Todd, I hope you show some self-respect. I’m not the kind of woman you're

Todd doubted the token’s authenticity but didn’t voice it. After all, no one would dare forge a Supreme Commander’s token as the sentence was the death of nine generations of one’s family.Therefore, anyone who had the token must be an inexplicably influential figure. Todd never thought he would offend the King of the North, a Drakonia monument. The Supreme Commander’s thirty thousand troops were a terrifying force to be reckoned with.Xayne observed the kneeling Todd and said frigidly, “Do you understand the gravity of your offense?”Todd trembled, repeatedly bowing. "I understand my mistakes, sir. I implore Your Excellency's mercy. I was foolish for uttering such nonsense."Smack, smack, smack! Todd smacked himself repeatedly while onlookers surrounded this section of the jewelry store. The crowd looked at the scene in shock. Some even recognized Todd.“Wait, isn’t that the big shot from Ridgesons Enterprise? How’d he end up kneeling to someone?”"I don't get it. Who is that
