Bullets flew inside the private room, shattering tables, poker chips, cards, and liquor bottles. When the goons ceased firing, one of them helped Pentago up. He rubbed his lower back and swept his fierce gaze around the room.

He saw several bodies with bullet holes in them and roared, “Where is he?!”

Suddenly, a lifeless body flew up as Xayne stood holding two pistols. He then aimed at the dozen or so goons standing at the door and started shooting.

Bang, bang, bang!

The sound of gunfire echoed, but the goons had no time to react. Soon after, they all fell to the ground, leaving Pentago petrified. Several bullets had even grazed him and hit his bodyguards. He then knelt and trembled violently as he wet himself.

Xayne casually approached him and pointed the gun at Pentago’s head. “Now tell me, who ordered you to kidnap my in-laws?”

He thought the whole situation seemed suspicious from the beginning.

Pentago was dumbfounded as he stammered, “I-It was Tim. He gave me 1.5 million to

    Xayne kicked the door and barged in. He then grabbed Tim’s collar and warned him, “If you ever do harm Serena and her family again, I’ll kill you!”That one sentence sent shivers down Tim’s spine. He struggled to breathe due to Xayne lifting him by the collar. Tim gulped and said, “Wh-what are you talking about?! Let go of me, you idiot! Don’t you know where you are?!”Xayne scoffed and tossed Tim aside. The latter sat on the floor and glared at Xayne resentfully.“Drop the act, Tim. You know what you did. I’ll let you off with a warning this time, but it’ll be my last. If you repeat your mistake, I’ll send you to the afterlife,” Xayne threatened before leaving.Tim got to his feet and smashed a teacup, muttering, “Damn it all. Xayne infuriates me. He has nothing to be proud of since he’s just a former Supreme Commander now. How dare he threaten me. I don’t believe his threats one bit.”Simultaneously, Xayne returned home while Serena went to the hospital to care for Tony and Viol

    Alexander turned solemn as he looked at Xayne with extreme caution. “That’s a Bullard family secret, Mr. White. How do you know about it?”Xayne sipped his wine and chuckled. “There’s nothing I don’t know. If I want to know something, a little manipulation or money can get me the information. I can even buy a royal family’s secrets, not to mention the Bullards’.”Alexander grimaced as he examined Xayne’s appearance. “You’re right, Mr. White. Indeed, my family possesses a fragment of an ancient book called the Heavenly Tome. Since it contains many mysteries, we won’t reveal such things so quickly.“Also, I don’t have the authority to access such crucial information. If I’m not mistaken, five elders from my family guard the fragments of the Heavenly Tome. No one can access such things without their orders, let alone obtain them.”Xayne frowned as his expression grew increasingly solemn, saying, “Well, it seems we have nothing more to discuss.”He then stood up and left with Draven a

    About ten minutes later, Alexander received a call and quickly answered it. Horace said coldly, “The others have agreed to let Mr. White visit. However, we must meet wherever our family chooses, and we’ll limit the visitation time to thirty seconds.”“Understood, Elder Horace,” Alexander replied.…When Xayne returned to the hotel, Draven and Ace stood beside him. One of them asked, “When do we take action, sir?”Xayne played with his Ravenclaw Dagger with a faint smile, saying, “There’s no hurry. Get Schuman to come over tomorrow.”“Of course, Drakon King,” Draven replied.The following day, Schuman came to the hotel to meet with Xayne. The news quickly reached the Loyas and Alexander.Lark was unable to sit still as he anxiously asked, “What do we do, Mr. Alexander? Is Mr. White planning to cooperate with Schuman instead?”Alexander remained calm as he sipped his tea. “Don’t worry. Let’s just wait a little longer.”Lark was a little puzzled, asking, “Didn’t your elders agree

    That evening, Alexander welcomed Xayne and his entourage smilingly, “Mr. White, several of my elders have agreed to your request. Although you can look at the fragments, you must do so at our designated location. Additionally, you only have half a minute. What do you think, Mr. White?”Xayne frowned and said, “It seems your family is cautious. Half a minute sounds more like charity than cooperation.”Alexander smiled. “It’s the best I could do for you, Mr. White. After all, my family has never revealed these things to anyone.”Xayne smiled faintly. “Well then, I can only agree reluctantly.”Lark was overjoyed as he stood up to pour Xayne and Alexander some wine. Lark said, “Let’s toast to a pleasant cooperation.”“To a pleasant cooperation.” Xayne and the other two raised their glasses.After returning to the hotel that night, Draven asked, “Drakon King, the Bullards only gave you half a minute. Are you sure about making a deal with them?”Xayne calmly said, “The seventy billion

    Previously, Xayne might have been on par with the top three doctors. Now, he was confident he could crush them. Although he spent all night studying, he did not feel tired. He suspected it might be due to the meditation methods he saw in the ancient tomb.Suddenly, the doorbell rang, and Draven entered. He bowed and said, “Drakon King, we can depart now.”“Excellent, let’s move.” Xayne put away the fragments and followed Draven out of the hotel.Meanwhile, Ace was assigned to the capital to assist the other Dracarium members. After all, Xayne wanted to prepare himself on all fronts.Soon, he arrived at Baysand Museum, the agreed meeting place with Alexander. It was the largest museum in Hacincth that showcased numerous treasures and artifacts. Although it was still early in the morning, there were armed security personnel inside and out.Alexander stood before the museum with hands behind his back. When he saw Xayne, he smiled and greeted him, “Mr. White, please come inside.”Xay

    Xayne chuckled. "I can't possibly figure out something your family hasn't been able to decipher. I don't recognize any of these symbols."Alexander smiled faintly and said, “That’s understandable, Mr. White. Well, the tour is over. Let's proceed to the inner courtyard for the next step of our collaboration."Xayne nodded and replied, "Sure, please lead the way."He had already memorized the content of the entire fragment. Although he had not fully comprehended it, remembering those symbols was pretty simple. After all, he had developed an extraordinary memory as the former Supreme Commander.To Xayne's surprise, the Bullards’ presented fragment happened to be the continuation of the two he had. The content was the classical medical skills he had seen last night.The following negotiation was straightforward, and Xayne reached a collaboration agreement with the Bullards and the Loyas. The news caused an uproar in Hacincth.“Wow, the Loyas have secured a deal with Mr. White. That’s

    Lark’s heart pounded with joy. He had invited so many people to the banquet to build alliances. He felt proud and inflated with self-importance as he watched the wealthy figures treat him as their leader.‘Hacincth is about to change. My family will be in charge from now on.’However, a butler ran toward Lark nervously as everyone celebrated. “Mr. Lark, something terrible has happened!”The drunken Lark frowned and shouted, “What are you doing here?! It’s a joyous day for my family! What could’ve happened to ruin it?”The others were shocked as they turned their attention to Lark and the butler. The latter was anxious but continued hushedly, “Sir, the five joint departments have seized your headquarters and over a dozen branch offices.“They also accused us of conspiring with foreigners. A large number of law enforcement officers are waiting outside.”“Wh-what?” Lark turned half-sober as he glared at the butler. “Are you sure?”“Of course, sir. They’re right outside as we speak.

    “Lieutenant Erasmus, why are you here?" Alexander hurriedly stood up and bowed respectfully.Erasmus scoffed as he walked past Alexander and sat in the main seat. "Alexander, you just said you wanted to tear the person behind this into pieces. Did I hear that correctly?"Alexander broke out in a cold sweat, hastily shaking his head and saying, "No, Lieutenant Erasmus, you must have misheard.”Erasmus slammed the table, causing it to shatter. He scolded angrily, "Do you think my ears aren’t working because I’m old?!"Alexander was so frightened that he knelt. He trembled as he said, "Lieutenant Erasmus, you've misunderstood. I was just angry. I-I never expected you to be behind Lark’s arrest."He was in disbelief because Erasmus was the first deputy commander under the South Canyon’s Supreme Commander. Alexander did not know what to do or how to react after finding out about it.If several of the Bullards’ elders could not afford to disrespect Erasmus, what would that mean for Al

    Dean's wild provocations quickly drew a crowd of onlookers.At that moment, a striking young woman stepped forward, removing her sunglasses as she made her way through the throng.The woman was dressed in an elegant black gown, the hemline revealing a pair of flawless, slender legs that caught everyone's attention. Her expression, however, was haughty, as though she looked down on everyone around her.She was Deanana Lovorka, the heiress of the Lovorka family conglomerate. While not exactly a household name, she was considered a minor socialite in the upper circles of Drakonix."Manager Dean, it's been a while!" Deanana greeted casually.As someone who frequently traveled abroad for business, Deanana was a familiar face at the airport and she had crossed paths with Dean on several occasions.But she was not here for a casual chat with Dean. It was far from it.She had come specifically to see Xayne.This was, after all, the legendary King of the North. Just six months ago, he w

    "Do you have any idea whose luggage this is?" Aava asked coldly with a sharp and commanding tone.She was on the verge of revealing her special credentials—something she rarely used unless absolutely necessary. Xayne had been her hero, someone she deeply admired. The ridicule from Miodrag moments earlier had already pushed her to the edge, and now even a low-level airport staffer dared to humiliate him."Of course, I knew. Xayne, the King of the North six months ago; now he's just a regular civilian," the staffer replied with icy indifference. The staffer smirked. "Miss, do you think Xayne is still the mighty King of the North? There's no war, the capital isn't under siege, and he's utterly useless now. Take my advice—someone young and beautiful like you should stay far away from trash like Xayne. Get closer to someone like Young Master Dongfang instead. It'll do wonders for your future!"Dean swaggered over, cigarette dangling from his mouth, hands clasped behind his back. His ex

    Upon hearing those words, both Xayne and Aava paused in surprise, then frowned in unison.The VIP lounge was clearly still operating as usual. Inside, over twenty people were relaxing—some reading newspapers and sipping coffee. There was no sign of any "closure" or "disinfection."It was obvious that this so-called announcement was deliberately targeting Xayne and Aava."Manager Li, isn't this going a bit too far? That's Xayne—formerly the King of the North. He has special privileges to use the VIP lounge. If this gets reported to higher-ups, we could all be in trouble…," whispered one of the airport staff, cautiously approaching Dean."Higher-ups? Haven't you heard? Young Master Lyuben already gave the order—anyone who sides with Xayne will see their entire family wiped out." Dean sneered, exhaling a cloud of smoke as he lit a cigarette."And even if the higher-ups find out, what can they do?" Dean added mockingly. "I'll admit, six months ago, I wouldn't have dared cross Xayne. B

    Miodrag's laughter quickly caught the attention of onlookers in the bustling terminal. But their gazes were fixed not on him but on Xayne.The "King of the North" was a name nearly everyone recognized, yet no one dared approach him. Lyuben's warning had spread far and wide: anyone who got close to Xayne would face annihilation."Miodrag! What gives you the right to mock Mr. Xayne? Just hours ago, he was fighting on the front lines for this country. And you? What have you done besides indulge yourself in luxury?" Aava snapped with a sharp and clear voice."Heh, I pay taxes, don't I? Doesn't spending money generate tax revenue? Without people like me keeping the economy alive, what would Xayne have eaten in the north? Dirt?" Miodrag smirked, his tone dripping with mockery. He sneered and continued, "If not for us rich kids throwing around millions in donations every day, Xayne wouldn't even have warm dirt to eat!""Damn it! The nerve of that guy!""What's so special about the East

    "Is it true that Xayne captured the so-called 'Lord of Light' alive?" Lyuben remained calm as he was playing a grand piano in the lounge."Indeed! Word is, the Lord of Light's master, Master Emin, was present as well. However, Xander also made an appearance. My analysis suggests it was Xander who forced Master Emin to retreat, while Xayne crippled the Lord of Light." An older man lowered his head respectfully as he spoke, his voice tinged with urgency."Oh? Defeating the Lord of Light… he must have had a trick up his sleeve. Was it some kind of tactic or setup?" Lyuben asked without betraying a hint of emotion."It's said that Xayne specializes in traps and ambushes. Otherwise, Hiram and his crew wouldn't have met their end in that mansion. Master Dongfang, you mustn't underestimate him!""Hmm?!" Lyuben's eyes shot open suddenly, piercing beams of icy resolve radiating toward the older man.The man immediately lowered his head further, not daring to meet the gaze of the young lead

    "Lowes, what are you panicking for?" Zoro's cold gaze locked onto Lowes.Even though Lowes was several generations younger than him, as the head of the Bullard family, he had the status to stand on equal footing with Zoro."I'm not panicking, I just don't want to see more white funeral banners hanging at the Bullard family estate. If Xayne comes back and chooses to settle the score, do you think any of us can handle it? You might not know this, but back when King Quidie rebelled, even Klink didn't dare lay a hand on him," Lowes replied, his voice strained but steady.He paused, taking a long, slow breath to calm himself. "Put it another way, if Xayne comes for us, even KB Kings Circle won't step in to save us. If that doesn't scare you, then I don't know what will!"The air in the room grew colder. Lowes glanced around at the faces of the other family heads, hoping to see reason in their eyes. But then came a sneer.Zoro let out a low, disdainful chuckle. "Even if Xayne didn't die

    "Xayne!" Zoro clenched his fists so tightly. If anyone had a grudge against Xayne, the Eastin family's hatred was no less than that of the Bullard family. Not to mention, Flamey had been killed by Xayne not long ago. This blood feud had to be settled.The Big Four weren't some weak, defenseless prey that Xayne could toy with as he pleased. For decades, the Big Four had controlled the heart of the Drakonia's economy. Every senator, governor, and political figure had to show them respect. But since Iver's death, the Big Four had lost their glow. People who once bowed their heads were now looking down on them. The root of all this was because of Xayne.That's why, after Flamey's death, the Eastin family had no choice but to call upon their master, a man who had been living in seclusion for decades. Every bit of information regarding Xayne's trip to Egenda, his plans, his contacts, and even his flight schedule had been deliberately fed to Lord of Light.They made it clear that the momen

    "In the end, his ambitions were never realized. When he attempted to merge all five Dragon's Hearts, he died. After his death, the Dragon's Hearts vanished without a trace. That's why the Light Order has always kept a close eye on Drakonia, especially on the methods Commander Zedd used to track down those Dragon's Hearts," Joe explained.Hearing this, Xayne was utterly stunned. He had never imagined that over a century ago, Commander Zedd had possessed five Dragon's Hearts. That would have been a time when Drakon Destiny was on the rise. However, because of the failed fusion, Commander Zedd lost not only his life but also Drakon Destiny's, which declined, leading to the humiliations and defeats that followed over the next century."So you're saying the Dragon's Hearts are tied to the fate of a nation?" Xayne asked, his shock evident."Absolutely. Based on our research, there's no doubt about it. The fate of Drakonia is linked to the Dragon's Hearts. Every time someone successfully f

    In the VIP lounge of the airport, Xayne and Aava were waiting for their flight. Not long after, a tall, broad-shouldered young man strode in. He scanned the room briefly before his eyes locked onto Xayne and Aava. Without hesitation, he walked straight toward them. "Mr. Xayne, I'm sorry for the wait. I was sent here by Yves."The young man sized up Xayne, his eyes flashing with surprise when he saw that Xayne was completely unharmed. Word had spread about Xayne's clash with Lord of Light, a confrontation that even drew out a Radiant Commander figure, Emin. Yet here Xayne was, perfectly fine. It was hard not to be impressed.As Yves's right-hand man, Joe Zhird knew better than to underestimate someone like Xayne. His respect was evident in his tone and demeanor. With his status as the top lieutenant of Black Ice Platform, even the heads of prominent families would approach him with courtesy. But right now, it was Joe who was showing deference to Xayne, and this caught Aava by surprise
