Chapter 1019
Author: Blanco Burn
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

    Many of the family members started heated discussions immediately after.“Sir, we’re one of the Big Four and have never feared any commander!”“He’s right! He’s just a mere commander of the South Canyon. Our ancestors have made significant contributions to Drakonia. We also have a thousand-year-old heritage!”“You can’t put it that way. Drakonia is constantly changing, especially with the current emperor. His Imperial Highness has many grievances with the Big Four. If we clash with the military’s commander at this critical moment, it’ll anger the emperor and trigger a chain reaction.”The elders exchanged glances and fell into contemplation as they listened to the family’s remarks. A while later, one of the elders slammed the table and said, “Since that’s the case, I’ll decide for us. The Bullards will withdraw from Hacincth today. Let’s not provoke Supreme Black Dragon.”However, many family representatives opposed it.“That can’t be it! We have carefully laid out plans in Hacin

    “So, you want to eradicate them?" Even Supreme Black Dragon trembled as his expression turned solemn.‘Where did Xayne get the audacity to say such words? The Bullards are one of the Big Four. Even I wouldn’t talk about overthrowing the Big Four so casually. That would shake Drakonia’s foundation. After all, the Big Four is vital to Drakonia as their influence spans various fields.’“You’re not joking, are you?” Supreme Black Dragon asked in disbelief.Xayne smirked. "You know me. Do I ever lie?"Supreme Black Dragon's expression darkened as he asked, "Do you have a feud with the Bullards?""A blood feud," Xayne said coldly.Supreme Black Dragon discerned the anger in Xayne's eyes. The former frowned and said, "I see. As your friend, I must advise you not to act rashly against the Bullards. They aren’t as simple as you think," Supreme Black Dragon warned.Xayne smiled faintly. "Of course, I know that. However, I can tell you something.""What is it?""The emperor summoned me t

    “Thanks, I’ll buy you some drinks when I return,” Xayne said before leaving. When he got back to the hotel, he sent the location he had received from Supreme Black Dragon to Dracarium, asking them to locate and investigate the Black Prison.Draven was concerned, asking, “Drakon King, are you really going there?”He had heard of the Black Prison and knew it was not a place for ordinary criminals. Moreover, the people inside were highly skilled. Even the guards were Legend Warriors, not to mention the four commander-level experts stationed inside.‘It’ll be dangerous if Drakon King goes alone.’Xayne exuded a raging aura as he said, “I must go. If my grandfather is still alive, I must rescue him.”“Sir, let me come with you,” Draven said, “I’ll have Dragos and the others follow, too.”“There’s no need for that. I want to go alone. If anything happens, you can manage Dracarium and take care of whatever comes,” Xayne said, indicating he had plans.“But, sir—” Draven wanted to argue,

    Xayne turned grim after hearing Evelyn’s explanation.Meanwhile, Serena glared at Evelyn and explained herself to Xayne, “It’s not what you think, honey. It’s just that…”However, She did not know how to explain it in other words. Xayne rubbed her head and smiled reassuringly, “All right, rest well. I’ll handle it.”He then left the hospital and went to the company building, only to see everything damaged and in disarray. There were even traces of blood from the employees that had not yet been cleaned. Xayne stood there silently as he radiated a cold aura.‘All right then, Ray Brixford. I’ll get revenge for my wife.’Before leaving in search of the Black Prison, Xayne had to eliminate his wife’s enemies. He could only leave with peace of mind then. Soon after, he headed for the new company Ray had established in Venzor.At that moment, a young and handsome man sat in the general manager’s office in Brixford Group’s Venzor branch. Ray savored his red wine on the sofa as he asked h

    “What?! Damn, kid, you must be eager to die. Mr. Ray isn’t someone you can just see whenever you want.”“I advise you to get the hell out of here, or we’ll beat you up!”The security guards were arrogant as they swung their batons at Xayne.Bang!The batons did not hit Xayne. Instead, he grabbed them and shouted, “You two are barbaric, regardless of whether you’re right or wrong! You could have caused permanent damage if I were an ordinary person!”He then snatched the batons from the guards and broke them in half before throwing them to the ground. His actions shocked the two guards. Although the guards used steel batons, Xayne had just snapped them in half with his bare hands.The guards panicked and backed off. One of them stammered, “Wh-what are you doing? You’re in—”Boom!Before he could finish, Xayne punched the man’s chest and abdomen, sending the guard flying. The man crashed into the glass door and shattered it, falling into the broken glass. He clutched his chest and

    Ray was furious when he heard Xayne’s words.‘Isn’t Serena’s husband just a good-for-nothing? Still, he dared to trespass into my company, hurt my assistant, and even strangle me!’Ray reddened as he continuously beat Xayne’s arms. The former squeezed out a sentence, “L-Let me…go! I’m the son of the Brixford family, damn it! I-If anything happens to me, the Swifts can’t handle what comes next!”Xayne frowned and threw Ray aside. The latter fell to the ground with a bang and held his neck, coughing violently before shouting, “You’re begging to die, punk! No one has dared to treat me like this. I won’t let you get away with it!”Ray yelled as he slowly got to his feet. However, Xayne kicked him and sent him crashing into the furniture. The kick left Ray in a miserable state as he lay on the ground and hurled while clutching his waist.Meanwhile, Xayne stared at him and warned, “Is that so? We’ll see whether or not your family can handle me.”“My family is one of Clovelly’s most inf

    Ray clutched his bloodied leg and collapsed to the ground as he rolled around, cursing incessantly. A while later, Xayne continued, “How do you feel about my demands now, Mr. Ray?”However, Ray smiled sinisterly. He was one of the four most respected young men in Clovelly, commanding respect from many. However, an in-law of the Swifts from the small town of Venzor had dared to hurt him.Ray said sternly, “Fuck you! My family and I will never submit to anyone!”“Is that so? It seems you’re just that stubborn. I wonder how long you can hold on,” Xayne said coldly before stabbing his Ravenclaw Dagger into Ray’s left knee.Ray screamed again as he widened his eyes and clutched his bloodied left leg. He trembled from the intense pain. His earlier arrogance disappeared while he stared at Xayne in fear.When Ray saw that Xaye was about to strike again, he hurriedly shouted, “No, stop! I agree to your demands and will apologize to Ms. Serena! I’ll also pay double the compensation and leav

    The moment the colossal sword fell, the entire mountain range trembled violently. The towering peak split cleanly in two, a massive chasm nearly a kilometer wide ripping through the center, sending avalanches roaring down its slopes. Every spectator shuddered involuntarily.Within the glowing barrier, Xayne was aging. His jet-black hair turned silver in the blink of an eye. A sharp realization struck him—it was a time-lock formation. Beneath his feet, a massive circular pattern flickered to life, shifting between red and white. A yin-yang symbol spun in an endless cycle, draining his vitality at an alarming rate. A wave of deathly stillness spread through his body. At the same time, from the center of his chest, a pure white light burst forth—it was "The Cycle of Life and Death." The same force he had once sensed in Kulun.The White Dragon's Heart unleashed an unprecedented surge of power. No matter how time tried to erode him, the lifeless aura surrounding him preserved his remainin

    Every warrior who reached the level of a Bi-Radiant Commander had already mastered their signature killing techniques, each more formidable than the last. They all carried countless tricks up their sleeves, refined through years of battle. Now, as an endless swarm of blood-red phantoms filled the sky, Xayne frowned. He had read about this technique in the Heavenly Tome—the Blood Phantom technique.On the surface, it appeared as a mass of shifting shadows, but the real body was hidden somewhere within. It was both an advanced illusion and a deadly attack. A single misstep would be fatal. There existed only one way to counter it—one chance to strike the real body. If he failed, the consequences would be dire. The sea of blood-red figures surged toward Xayne, their forms flickering and blurring as they closed in.Nearby, Alovandrio and Arthura exchanged amused glances, entertained by the spectacle before them. They both knew the terror of Dakura’s Blood Phantom technique. Even they wou

    A suffocating pressure filled the air, pressing down like an iron weight. Andrea’s heart pounded as he hurriedly spoke, his voice edged with urgency. "Honored elders! I mean no disrespect—I only seek reconciliation! The champions of the outer battleground are returning. If—""If?" The Lion King interrupted with a cold sneer, his tone laced with contempt."If the champions of the outer battleground return, the first person they will kill is you!" King Arthura’s voice was like a blade, sharp and merciless. "You stood by and let Eukrania’s royal bloodline be butchered! Do you even realize the weight of your crime?" His gaze bore into Andrea, unyielding and filled with contempt. "When Xayne first set foot in Eukrania, you should have driven him out at all costs! Instead, you welcomed the wolf into the fold. Worse still, you dared to speak in his defense. Calling you a traitor would be an understatement!"Cold sweat dripped from Andrea’s face. Under the piercing gazes of four Radiant Comma

    A thousand years had passed, yet he had not aged. At the level of a Divine Commander, every warrior understood one undeniable truth—once one ascended to the rank of Radiant Commander, time itself would halt. Their faces would never wither, and their youth would remain untouched until the day of their death.It was no wonder Alovandrio was hailed as the greatest legend in Eukranian history. His presence alone commanded awe, a living testament to power beyond mortal comprehension. By his appearance, he could have been no older than thirty when he first achieved Radiant Commander status.He may not have ascended as early as Xayne, but his accomplishment was no less extraordinary. A thousand years of existence, a millennium of unmatched dominance—his very name inspired absolute reverence across the land."Indeed, he is Alovandrio," one of the elders murmured. "But even a Bi-Radiant Commander is not truly immortal. If he fails to ascend to the rank of a Supreme Radiant Commander within the

    The three Bi-Radiant Commanders bowed in unison. The entire battlefield fell into stunned silence. Even those who had no idea who this man was were left shaken by the sight.King Arthura himself had just addressed him as "Your Majesty.""Who is that man?!""If even King Arthuraa shows him such respect, then he must be a truly terrifying figure!""He looks so familiar… Wait—could it be Alovandrio?!"A gasp of pure disbelief tore through the crowd. All eyes snapped toward the final arrival.A man in his prime, standing tall and proud, his waist-length hair billowing in the wind. In his grasp, a long spear, radiating a chilling brilliance. From among the Ten Great Families, the elder of the Ashlan family spoke with deep reverence. "That's right. He is none other than Alovandrio the Great."The moment those words were spoken, the battlefield erupted in shock. It did not matter whether they were warlords, kings, or noble heirs from the greatest houses in Eukrania—all of them lowered

    "Is that the Sacred Heart Armor?" From below, a noble from the Ten Great Families gasped in recognition.That legendary battle armor was once worn by Emperor Charman himself, conquering lands far and wide had returned to the battlefield.Before the crowd could even process this revelation, the northern sky erupted in a flash of crimson light. A pale-faced middle-aged man stepped forth, emerging from the blood-red radiance that drenched the land below in an eerie glow.A metallic tang filled the air. A suffocating stench of blood.The gathered warriors shuddered in fear. "Could it be… Dakura, the Marquis of the Drew family?!"The moment his name was uttered, countless faces turned ashen with terror. Five hundred years ago, Dakura had already become a Radiant Commander. But his rise was unlike any other. He fed on human flesh and blood, devouring entire civilizations to fuel his strength.

    A radiant aura, glowing with crimson, gold, and white illuminated the sky.From within this dazzling light, a young man strode forward, walking through the void. Each step carried the weight of a mountain, making his presence unstoppable. His long hair danced without the wind, and his star-like eyes gleamed brighter than the moon.Everyone was awestruck by this young man's sheer presence.
