Boom, boom, boom! In an instant, a hundred golden fireworks went off. One hundred thunderous shots echoed across Shalholm. The sky exploded into a dazzling display, adorning the skyline with unparalleled brilliance."Goodness, they even have fireworks!""You have quite the extravagant taste, Mr. Ethan. This isn't just about being wealthy. You must have some powerful connections. Very impressive.""Your son-in-law is extraordinary, Mr. Tim."Facing the congratulations from the crowd, Eric and the rest of the Swifts wore bewildered expressions. Even Ethan looked confused. None of this was his doing.On the other hand, Sophia was excitedly holding onto Ethan's arm, exclaiming, "Honey! Is this a surprise you prepared for me? I love it!"Ethan's lips twitched. It seemed like denying it at this point wouldn't help."Do you like it?" he asked."I love it! I love you so much!" Sophia replied, then shouted toward Serena, "Are you seeing this, Serena? This is the surprise my husband pr

Everyone was shocked by the scene before them. Behind the limousines were three thousand fully armed soldiers. They had never seen such a spectacle.Upon witnessing this, Ethan and Sophia, among others, wore expressions of astonishment. Their eyes widened in disbelief."Could this be Xayne's wedding reception?" someone wondered aloud."Oh my God! What's happening? Isn’t he just a loser? How did he pull off such a grand spectacle?""Blessings from all Five Pillars, Drakonia limousines as wedding cars, and even the number one car from the Northern Plains Military..."Everyone was puzzled. Who was Xayne?!At the Imperial Hotel entrance, Serena, dressed in an exquisite white wedding gown, stood before the dignitaries. She was ecstatic, tears of joy streaming down her face as she watched the procession approach her.Simultaneously, all the billboards on the streets of Shalholm had wedding photos of Xayne and Serena. All news channels and broadcasting stations rushed to the scene fo

Sophia lost her composure as anger blinded her. Why is this despicable woman being given such a grand wedding?! Why?! How could her husband be the powerful Supreme Commander of Northern Plains?!'She rushed over, attempting to slap Serena. However, Xayne protected Serena behind him. With a swift motion, he slapped Sophia instead. He sent her sprawling to the ground, blood oozing from her mouth. "Finally woke up?" Xayne asked coldly, looking down at Sophia.Sophia held her swollen cheek, looking dazed. After a long while, she finally realized what she was doing."Take her away," Red Rose ordered coldly. Two soldiers with guns apprehended Sophia as Tim and Vivian had already rushed over in panic. With a thud, they both knelt on the ground, pleading, "We’re sorry, Xayne! Please forgive our daughter. Sh-she just lost her temper for a moment."Xayne responded coldly, "She has tested my patience over and over again. Do you really think I won’t dare to do anything to you?”This state

After a while, she finished her bath. She blushed again when she saw the pristine white bed adorned with red roses."Am I really going to sleep with him tonight?" Serena murmured.She bit her lip, gazing at the bed before her. She felt her cheeks heating up, and soon, her entire body turned red. Although she had spent a passionate night with Xayne five years ago, resulting in the birth of Coco, that night also marked the beginning of her humiliation by the Swifts.She had endured many hardships and was even driven out of the family. As a result, the memories of that night were far from pleasant for her. However, Xayne was now her husband and brought light into her life during her darkest moments. Moreover, he was the Supreme Commander of Northern Plains. Xayne was a powerful man who personally organized this incredibly joyous wedding for her. After living with him for so long, she had forgotten her past experiences. Her mind was now full of thoughts of him and this perfect wedding

The following morning, Xayne smiled with contentment upon waking up at the sight of the peacefully sleeping Serena. The sunlight delicately illuminated her face, adding to her enchanting beauty. At that moment, his phone vibrated.After checking the message from Ace, Xayne's brows furrowed at the brief yet alarming content. "Sir, there's a change in Drakonix. The emperor is summoning you!"He quickly got out of bed. After he freshened up, he put on his uniform and glanced back at the still-sleeping Serena. He gently kissed her forehead, saying, "Wait for me. I’ll be right back.”Xayne hastily left the villa. Outside, Ace and the rest had already assembled."Commander, there's a change in Drakonix. The emperor summoned you this morning," Ace reported as he approached Xayne and draped a black robe over the latter.Xayne frowned solemnly. "What happened? The emperor wouldn’t summon us unless there’s a significant border disturbance or a major event."Ace's expression mirrored the se
