Thud!

Donovan quickly kneeled when he heard Chuck’s furious roar. He feared the man before him as he struggled to control his emotions to ask, “Mr. Chuck, I don’t understand. Who did I offend?”

Chuck sneered and glared at Donovan coldly. “Is Baxter Webb your subordinate?”

Faced with Chuck’s reproach, Donovan quickly replied, “Yes, he’s under my command, but how do those two connect?”

Although he seemed clueless, he felt something was amiss. Since his subordinates had reported Baxter’s arrest, he planned to use his connections and money to resolve the situation. However, it seemed Baxter had provoked someone formidable.

Bang!

Chuck kicked Donovan’s shoulder and pointed at him. “Since Baxter is under your command, then it’s your fault! Stay on your knees and wait here!”

Soon after, Chuck knelt without a word, shocking Donovan and making him tremble. Although Chuck was the wealthiest man in Shalholm and had immense influence, he knelt on the ground, seemingly awaiting someone even

    The bruised-up Baxter fell to the ground with a thud. When he saw Donovan and Chuck on their knees, he knew he could not escape."Sir, please spare me! I made a terrible mistake. I will never dare to do it again. Please spare my life. I-It was just a job I accepted for money." Baxter crawled to Xayne's feet, knocking his head on the floor and apologizing.Xayne frowned as he questioned sternly, "A job for money? Who hired you to do it?"Baxter replied firmly, "It was Ethan Brown, the president of the Brown Corporation. He paid me seventy thousand dollars to do it! You have to believe me. I am innocent! Please spare me!""Ethan Brown?" Xayne repeated the name, a murderous intent flashing in his eyes. Then he turned to Baxter. "Committing evil deeds will lead to one's downfall!"Boom!Xayne kicked Baxter with tremendous force, causing the latter to fly across the room and crack the wall behind him. A footprint was on Baxter’s chest as Xayne shattered his sternum and crushed his lun

    Ethan and Sophia soon arrived at the Dane Hill Villa. They carried two suitcases of money as they entered. The burly guards at the entrance saw the duo and blocked them.Ethan said humbly, “Hello, I’m here to visit the Grim Reaper. Please inform him that I am Baxter Webb’s friend, Ethan Brown, the president of Brown Corporation.”The tall and muscular guard glanced at Ethan coldly and replied, “Okay, wait here.”Meanwhile, Sophia clung to Ethan’s arm anxiously. After all, they were at the Grim Reaper’s residence, a place so luxurious that ordinary people could never enter."Ethan, do you think the Grim Reaper will see us?" Sophia asked in a hushed voice.Ethan smiled and reassured her, "Don't worry, Baxter and I are friends, so the Grim Reaper will accept us. Besides, Brown Corporation is well-known in Shalholm. He wouldn't ignore us."Just as he finished speaking, the guard returned with eight other guards holding riot batons. They approached Ethan, yelling and pointing at him.

    “Gah, it hurts so much. Is Donovan out of his mind?!” Ethan sat in his car and was about to close the door when a muddy hand pressed against it.Sophia was covered in dirt and disheveled as she squeezed into the car and glared at Ethan, yelling, “Ethan Brown, you idiot! Why’d you leave me behind?!”Ethan had bandages wrapping his injured face. He felt a headache as he explained, “I didn’t leave you on purpose, Sophia. You saw how many people chased me, right? They might have hurt you if I brought you with me. I was just trying to draw them out.”Sophia brushed off the mud in her hair and looked at the bandaged Ethan with concern. Then she said, “Is that true? Aw, I knew it. I was wrong to scold you, my dear. Are you still in pain?”Ethan groaned and replied, "Yes, I am."Sophia remained furious as she asked, “Do you think the Grim Reaper has gone insane? Why did he tell his men to beat you without meeting you?”Ethan felt just as conflicted as her. “There must be a misunderstandi

    Serena blinked her teary eyes and avoided Xayne’s gaze. Then she wiped her tears away and hugged Coco, saying, "Coco, are you full? Should I take you for a bath and put you to bed?"Coco shook her head. "No, I don't want to sleep or bathe. I want to play with Daddy."Serena sighed. "Daddy’s too tired today. You can play with him tomorrow, okay?"However, Coco pursed her lips and jumped out of Serena's arms. Then she climbed into Xayne's embrace and kissed his cheek. “Mommy misses you, Daddy. She would always tell me stories about you before putting me to sleep.“She called you a superhero who would return to protect us. Promise me you won’t leave us again, Daddy.” Coco’s voice quivered at the end, looking anxious yet hopeful.Xayne’s expression softened, and he became teary-eyed. He gently pinched Coco’s chubby cheeks. “All right, I promise never to leave you and Mommy again.”Upon hearing that, Coco nodded vigorously and kissed Xayne’s face again. Then she turned to her mother w

    Donovan stared at Sonny and said, “Drop the act! Tell me the truth if you want to live. You don’t have much time left. If you don’t talk now, you won’t stand a chance when that person arrives.”“B-But…” Sonny grew increasingly nervous as he continued kneeling. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, not knowing what to do.Donovan snorted at the pathetic sight and knew Sonny would not speak until the real danger arrived. Ultimately, Donovan said, “Do as you wish.”Afterward, he stood aside, silently waiting for someone while Sonny remained terrified. After all, even the intimidating Donovan Dane was intimidated by the mysterious figure.‘How terrifying can that person be?’“Grim Reaper, please! I’ll talk if you spare me! I have nothing to do with this. It was all Tim Swift and Vivian Parker’s doing. They were the ones who beat Serena and told her to reflect on the consequences of defying them. I just stood by then and didn’t dare to intervene,” Sonny explained.Donovan stared

    Xayne smiled innocently as he entered the house. “I overate for dinner and couldn’t sleep, so I went for a stroll.”Then he approached Serena, squatted, and reached out to hold her hand. However, she seemed shy and avoided his touch. Immediately after, she combed her hair behind her ear and said, “Since you’re back, you should sleep.”She stood up as she spoke, put on her slippers, and headed to the bedroom. However, she stood at the door hesitantly before saying, “Please stop interfering with my matters. I’m begging you.”Xayne looked at the closing bedroom door. He felt uneasy as he gazed at the photo of Serena and Coco on the bedside table. The mother and daughter were in a park in the picture. Serena was flying a kite while Coco blew bubbles, smiling joyfully.Xayne picked up the photo frame as emotions stirred within him, causing him to become misty-eyed. He touched the photo and whispered, “Don’t worry, you two. I won’t let you suffer.”Tim’s family of three arrived at the c

    A group of rough-looking men in factory uniforms barged in when the assistant finished speaking. They pushed the assistant aside and threw a bag of money on the floor, and one of them shouted, “Mr. Sonny says he doesn’t want your filthy money and won’t dirty his hands for you!“He has already agreed on a deal with Ms. Serena Swift, so you can forget about bribing him.” Immediately after, the group glared at the employees and left.Tim and the others paled at the sight of the men leaving, and the entire office area broke out in a commotion."No way! Mr. Tim bribed Mr. Sonny?""I never thought Mr. Tim would resort to such despicable tactics to deal with Serena. I thought he was a good person.""Heh, what can you expect from capitalists? You should know how they are by looking at how Sophia bullies us."Tim was so angry that he shouted through gritted teeth, “What are you all talking about?! Don’t you have work to do? Return to your desks now. I’ll fire anyone who speaks about this.

    Serena’s question shocked Sonny. He chuckled and said, “N-No one, Ms. Serena. You must be overthinking it. I just realized Tim isn’t someone I want to hang around with. I think it’s best if I stick with you.”Although Serena looked skeptical, she did not pry. Instead, she followed Sonny into the factory.Meanwhile, one of the employees Sophia had contacted observed the scene from afar. A hint of doubt flashed in their eyes, and they quickly called Sophia, “Serena and Sonny have entered the factory.”“What did you see?” Sophia asked as she anxiously sat in her office.“Not much. I only noticed Sonny acting strangely and apologizing to Serena,” the employee replied.Sophia frowned and hummed before hanging up the phone. Then she looked at Tim and said, “Dad, Sonny knelt and apologized to Serena.”“What?! That selfish and opportunistic Sonny Burton knelt and apologized to Serena? But she has no significant background or power.” Tim frowned as he put his hands behind his back, saying

    Deanana glanced at Xayne as she coyly smiled. "Mr. Xayne, no need to be so reserved with me. After all, I used to be one of your admirers. I always thought you were an extraordinary man."Although it seems I misjudged you, still, you were a part of my girlish dreams. Don't let your current misfortunes bother you too much. People say a fallen phoenix is worse than a chicken, and while that's true, I happen to have a kind heart."Her words, though laced with laughter, were razor-sharp. Each one was a jab meant to cut deep.Her meaning was clear: "You might have been a shining star once, but now, you're nothing in my eyes—not even worth a second glance." Helping Xayne get his luggage was just an act, nothing more."Mr. Xayne, do you remember? Just a few years ago, at this very airport, you were returning from... oh yes, the Seven Nations Summit!"You know, I waited at the airport entrance for over four hours that morning just to get your autograph. But sadly, your security team didn'

    "Heh, Miss Deanana, you also know that's all in the past. Even if he were still the King of the North, we live in peaceful times now. No one gets special privileges, right?" Dean chimed in smoothly, his tone laced with mockery."Dean! Do you even realize what you're doing?!" Aava could not hold back any longer, her eyes glaring fiercely as she clenched her fists in anger."Of course, I know what I'm doing, and I know neither of you are ordinary people. Thinking about hitting me? Don't forget, there are plenty of reporters over there. If you dare lay a hand on me, I'll make sure Xayne's reputation is ruined," Dean replied smugly.Dean's sneer widened into a wicked grin, the confidence radiating from him undeniable."Manager Dean, how about this? To be honest, I used to admire Mr. Xayne. Why don't you do me a favor and return his belongings? It would be a great gesture," Deanana interjected with a gentle smile.Upon hearing this, Aava bristled with fury. She knew Deanana was up to s

    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
