“Mr. Crody, what's going on?" Ariana was scared and did not know what to do."What? I told you I fancy with you, Ms. Ariana. Don't be shy. So many women begged to get into bed with me just for the sake of cooperation. You're not the first, so just take good care of me. I promise our cooperation will continue."Crody approached Ariana. His towering height and obese body made Ariana look tiny. “I like you a lot, Ms. Ariana. Your body fascinates me, and I just can’t wait to have you.”He revealed a malicious smile as he approached Ariana. The latter panicked and climbed down from the bed to avoid him and run out the door. However, she realized the door was locked. She could not open it, no matter how hard she tried."Give up. You can’t escape, even if you had wings." The seemingly well-prepared Crody grabbed Ariana and pressed her against the wall. “Don't be afraid. You just have to sleep with me once."His eyes gleamed with lust as Ariana tried to break free. However, she noticed hi
"I'm so scared..." Ariana hugged Xayne as tears ran down her cheeks."Don't be afraid. I'm here." Xayne patted her back and turned to look at Crody on the ground.The latter was outraged as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth before staggering to his feet. He roared at the man who suddenly appeared, “Who the hell are you?! How dare you ruin my good time. Do you know who I am? I’m Crody Bawser, the head of the Bawser family!”Xayne smirked as he approached Crody, saying, “You don’t need to know who I am. You just need to know that I’m that woman’s bodyguard. Her safety is my responsibility. Since you just laid your hands on her, you’ll have to pay.”He grabbed Crody and punched him. The latter could not keep up as he spat out two teeth. Suddenly, Xayne punched him in the stomach, causing Crody to spew a large mouthful of blood. Xayne then grabbed his hair and slammed his head against the wall.Boom!Crody’s head smashed through the wall, revealing his bloodied head out
After suffering a severe beating, Crody placed a four hundred thousand dollar bounty on Xayne’s head. Hence, the assassins flocked to take Xayne’s life.The team that came to ambush him was the first to arrive. They were a well-established underground organization in Velegas, favoring the use of switchblade revolvers. This weapon functioned as both a gun and a dagger.Due to its versatility and exquisite appearance, it was the favorite weapon of the old-school underground organizations. At that moment, there were whispers outside the door."I'll knock on the door later. When the target opens it, each of you will stab him to create an opening for me to grab him. It's best if we can bring him back alive."The assassins had reviewed Xayne’s information before coming. Since they thought he was just a bodyguard, they did not formulate any overly detailed plans. They also tried to keep him alive so that Crody would raise the bounty when they presented Xayne to him.However, the door sud
"Many local criminal organizations are joining forces to claim your head. They’re willing to unite and come for you. I heard they’ve gathered a few hundred people and will launch the final assassination attempt against you at dawn," Draven quickly conveyed the message."I see. I never expected these criminals to target me."Xayne not only considered escaping, but he also contemplated counterattacking. “It’s too late to contact Mikael at this point. Get someone to deliver weapons by tonight. I’ll show those lurking bastards that they shouldn’t mess with certain people.”A fierce killing intent flashed in Xayne’s eyes. If he were back in his home country, he might have shown some restraint. However, he never held back whenever he was abroad.Draven chuckled. “I knew you’d make such a decision, Drakon King. I’ve already arranged for people to deliver the weapons. They should be arriving soon.”Soon after, a Land Rover arrived downstairs. The driver then handed the keys to Xayne and h
Black Rose glanced at the time and gave the order for her subordinates to mobilize, “The time is right. The target has turned off the lights. Let’s move.”A hundred and fifty assassins headed toward the mansion.“Looks like it’s time.” Xayne extended his sniper rifle and then pulled the trigger.Pew!Others only heard a muffled sound before seeing three people in front dropping dead. The person at the forefront’s head had disappeared into a puddle of blood, the other got shot through the waist, and the third’s thigh had turned into a fleshy mess.Although Xayne only shot once, the bullet pierced through three people. Soon after, several more gunshots followed, and the assassins continuously turned into puddles of blood. The horrifying scene cost several people their lives."Oh my God! They're dead!""I'm sorry, boss, I’m withdrawing from this mission. It's a death sentence!""Barrett! A sniper rifle with this much power must be a Barrett! The target has professional snipers and
“I didn’t expect the target to be on such a high spot. While it’s an excellent sniping location, he’ll have no way out once we surround him.”“You’re right. If we seal off all exits, the target’s only choices are to jump off or be killed by our men.”“In other words, we've secured the bounty, right? Though the money doesn't matter now, I just want to kill him."The trio of criminal organization leaders laughed as they spoke. Although the bounty was a considerable sum to them, it was not worth the cost they had paid. The leaders had deployed a hundred and fifty men, but many of them fell to Xayne.The leaders considered Xayne to be their number one enemy. If they failed to kill him, they would face criticism from other criminal organizations. After arranging their counterattack, the three leaders calmly sat down.“It’s been a long time since we’ve worked together. Why don’t we play poker while we wait for our men to kill that guy?” Black Rose placed a deck of cards on the table, an
Dark Angels said, "The Supreme Commander is different from those losers in The Reapers organization. I heard he wields a terrifying Ravenclaw Dagger."Dark Angels added with a hint of fear in his eyes, “He can cut through a sea of enemies with ease if he has that dagger. Anyone who’s seen it says it’s the war horn of a demon, a power only a devil can master.”Although he had never witnessed the Ravenclaw Dagger’s power himself, he had heard about how terrified the mysterious leaders of The Reapers were when they saw it.The Reapers organization was the largest of the Westfordia underground forces. Even the three criminal organizations combined were no match for the once-mighty Reaper organization during its decline.However, this enormous organization suffered a bloodbath from the Drakon King several years ago, leading to its rapid decline. Later, it suffered another heavy blow, with all its members withdrawing from the assassination network.Only a few in all of Westfordia feared
"Dracarium? Why would they come here?"The three leaders panicked and were no longer arrogant. After all, Dracarium was a mysterious organization with a formidable reputation in Westfordia. It had three thousand members, and its four Dracoguards possessed combat strength equivalent to a Supreme Commander.Even Pluto, known for its formidable combat power among the Twelve Temples of Westfordia, bowed before Dracarium. Moreover, there were rumors that the Drakon Elites, a new organization named by the Drakon King, was likely a branch of Dracarium."We’ve got you surrounded. Surrender now." Xayne approached them, holding his Ravenclaw Dagger.Black Rose realized the situation and commanded his subordinates to attack, "Kill this guy, and we will escape!"However, Xayne appeared before the bodyguards and swung his Ravenclaw Dagger. Instantly after, blood stains appeared on the bodyguards’ necks, and they fell to the ground. Xayne had easily taken their lives.When the remaining bodygu
Delwyn's confidence surged as he witnessed the effectiveness of his formation. Xayne's formidable Ravenclaw dagger had been effortlessly repelled, leaving Delwyn feeling invincible.No wonder the Christy family elders always stressed the importance of mastering their First formations. The Christy family's prominence wasn't solely due to their role as guardians of the First Dragon's tomb. Their mastery of ancient formations, some passed down from the First Dragon, was unparalleled, formidable enough to command respect even from the Five Great Mountains.Delwyn laughed triumphantly. The thrill of holding his ground against a Quin-Divine Commander filled him with elation. He had overestimated Xayne.Meanwhile, Xayne retrieved the Ravenclaw dagger, noting an unusual and elusive force surrounding it. Even he couldn't fully grasp its nature. As the dagger's momentum forced him back several steps, Xayne steadied himself, his eyes narrowing."Feeling humbled now, Xayne?" Delwyn smirked, hi
"You're courting death!" Xayne's words had barely landed when a figure rushed forward, grabbing his arm tightly."Mr. Xayne! Please, calm down! This might all just be a misunderstanding. You can't start a fight here, the consequences would be unimaginable!" Luther's face had turned pale with fear.Both men, Xayne and Delwyn were far beyond what he could handle. If anything happened to either of them in Folksberg, it would spell the end of his political career and likely his freedom."Misunderstanding?" Xayne's cold laughter echoed in the room as he pointed at Delwyn. "Using my name to scam and extort people was bad enough. Forcing women into unspeakable situations? If that's a 'misunderstanding,' then what isn't?"As he finished speaking, a powerful surge of energy erupted from Xayne, his aura soaring to its peak, a Quin-Divine Commander's aura, overwhelming and unstoppable. The force shook Luther's grip loose, leaving him stumbling back in shock.Luther took one look at Xayne's i
Xayne stepped into the suite with Yanny close behind, drawing the attention of everyone in the room.A collective gasp rippled through the crowd. The two men, Xayne and the imposter looked nearly identical.Even Yanny froze, her eyes darting between them.Before, when they weren't side by side, their resemblance had been noticeable but not striking. Now, face-to-face, their shared aura and presence were unmistakable.The difference was that Delwyn carried himself with an arrogant, almost oppressive authority as if the world were beneath him. In contrast, Xayne exuded a calm yet commanding energy, one rooted in confidence rather than superiority."What is going on here?" Luther stammered, clutching his wine glass.Delwyn was momentarily stunned to see Xayne, but he quickly regained his composure."Xayne!" he sneered.The charade was over. Delwyn saw no point in pretending anymore as he took a sip of red wine from his wine glass and an arrogant expression appeared on his face. Tr
"In Warren International Hotel. But, young man, we appreciate your kindness but you can't just throw your life away!" Channy turned toward Xayne, his face full of worry.Beside him, Renny chimed in, her voice urgent. "Serena is pregnant! If something happens to you, how am I supposed to explain it to her?""I've told you. I'm Xayne too!" Xayne's tone was firm, his expression unyielding.What he left unsaid, however, was the truth: the so-called "Xayne" they'd met before was a fraud.The problem was that the Riller family had all seen Delwyn. Compared to Xayne, Delwyn carried himself with authority and charisma far superior to Xayne.No one believed that this seemingly ordinary young man before them was the legendary King of the North."Renny, take me there," Xayne ordered, casting a glance at the bedridden Yanny. Seeing that she was no longer in danger, he turned back to Renny."I..." Renny hesitated, unsure.Before she could decide, Yanny struggled to sit up on her bed. Her vo
Without wasting a second, he led a small group of servants up to the second floor at a brisk pace."Miss Yanny! Please open the door!" Loud, frantic knocks echoed from upstairs."Sir, the door to Miss Yanny's room won't open!" the butler called down, his forehead glistening with sweat as he rushed back downstairs, his breathing uneven."Then what are you all standing around for? Break the door open!" Channy's voice cracked with panic, his face flushed red with desperation. He stomped his foot and beat his chest, his heart filled with regret. He loved Renny and Yanny very much. The words he'd spoken earlier were out of desperation and now felt like a blade twisting in his gut. If anything happened to his granddaughter, he'd never forgive himself.Xayne didn't wait for anyone else to react. He stormed up the stairs, his movements sharp and purposeful. Pushing past the Riller family's servants, he raised his leg and delivered a powerful kick to the door. It burst open with a loud cr
Before the words were even finished, Xayne had already pushed open the car door and stepped out. Without hesitation, he brushed past the servants at the entrance and led Renny straight into the estate.The moment they walked in, they heard Channy pounding his chest in frustration, his voice thundering as he pointed toward the second floor. "Even if you have no regard for family, can you bear to see so many people dragged down with you?"Around him, more than a dozen servants stood in silence, heads bowed, not daring to make a sound. Two middle-aged men stood before Channy like chastised schoolchildren, their posture rigid, their faces full of unease.When Channy spotted Renny, his face twisted with a mix of surprise and anger. He barely spared a glance at Xayne. After all, in his opinion, Xayne was too ordinary, so ordinary that he didn't even deserve a second look."Renny?" Channy frowned deeply. "You're back just in time. Go upstairs and talk some sense into your sister. If she r
"Miss Riller, every move you make is under my watch. I even know when you left for Folksworth and when you came back. I have detailed reports here!" Zenn smirked as he pulled out his phone, scrolling through text messages before waving the screen in front of Renny's face."Move your car. I'm in a hurry!" Xayne said coldly, his tone sharp and unwavering.Zenn looked Xayne up and down, sneering. "Who the hell do you think you are? I'm here on Mr. Xayne's orders to wait for her. If you ruin his plans, can you bear the consequences?"As Renny had suspected, if he couldn't have her, he'd make sure no one else could either.When Zenn was having a fancy dinner with Delwyn earlier, he had spilled every detail about her. He praised the Riller sisters, calling them goddesses, but admitted that Renny was far prettier than her sister, Yanny. He mentioned how she'd gone to Folksworth and wasn't sure when she'd return.The moment Delwyn decided to send someone to drag her back to Folksberg, Zen
Serena noticed Renny's sudden change in expression and asked curiously, "What's wrong?""Nothing!" Renny's voice trembled as she swallowed hard, her small hands shaking as she quickly put her phone away. But no matter how she tried, she couldn't hide the panic in her eyes."Renny, what's going on? Do you still see me as your friend?" Serena pressed, her eyes narrowing with concern.Renny's unease didn't escape Serena's sharp gaze. Renny glanced at Serena and Xayne, her face full of hesitation. "It's about someone with the last name Xavier. He's powerful, and I don't want to drag you two into it!""What?" Serena's brow frowned.Xayne's eyes flickered with interest. He hadn't been paying attention initially, but hearing the mention of the name "Xavier" brought a subtle shift to his gaze. "Someone with the last name Xavier? Renny, can you tell me what's going on?"After a long moment of hesitation, Renny finally pulled out her phone and handed it to Xayne showing the farewell messag
Channy had stood right behind Luther, and when he heard those words, his heart sank hard. Both his granddaughters had been as stubborn as they came, but if Yanny Riller had decided to stand her ground, it would have spelled big trouble for the Riller family. This hadn't been the same as crossing the Scallow or Armen families. Xayne's influence in Drakonia had been untouchable at that time.Watching Luther bow and scrape as he ushered Xayne into the car, Channy pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Too bad he didn't know that this so-called Xayne was nothing but a fraud."Yanny, you heard what Mr. Xayne just said, didn't you? You see what I mean, right?" Channy asked.Yanny bit her lip hard, her eyes filling with tears. Her gaze was firm as she looked straight at her grandfather. Seeing that look, Channy's heart skipped a beat. He quickly grabbed Yanny's arm and guided her into the car. If Xayne saw that look of defiance on Yanny's face, it'd be the en
