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.

    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

    Before leaving, Xayne raised an eyebrow and stared at the sales representative, asking, “What’s your name?”The sales representative snorted and crossed her arms. “What’s the matter? Are you asking for my name to get someone to deal with me? I’m not afraid to tell you. My name is Britney Martin! Now get lost and stop bothering us!”Britney turned and walked away, ignoring Xayne’s sinister expression.Xayne soon left without a word and called Ace. “Get Donovan and his crew to the Mercedes-Benz dealership in Hawthorn Street.”After ending the call, he went to the nearby BMW car dealership. He felt a warm and inviting atmosphere as he walked in, then a male sales representative greeted him smilingly. He respectfully asked Xayne, “Are you here to buy a car, sir? Is there a specific model you’re interested in?”Xayne shook his head and said, “I’m not sure. Can I take a look at this?”He pointed at the latest BMW 5 Series sedan.“Sure, this is our BMW 5 Series. It’s…” The sales repres

    As the female sales representatives turned, they saw several men in suits outside the BMW dealership showing a sign of respect as Xayne drove out. Everyone knew the person standing before the other male sales representatives as he was the BMW dealership’s finance manager.“Are you kidding me?! How can that customer be the same guy from earlier?” Britney refused to believe it.“Exactly! That guy looked so plain and brought a kid to look at cars. I thought he was just window shopping. If he bought that car, I’d eat my hat,” another sales representative added, followed by laughter.However, what happened next silenced the chatty female sales representatives. Their eyes widened when they saw Xayne leaving the car with Coco in his arms. He exchanged a few words with the finance manager before looking at the group of girls from the Mercedes-Benz dealership.Britney and her colleagues were at a loss."Oh, my God! I-It’s him!""How’s that possible? Wasn't he poor? How could he afford a B

    Britney covered her red cheek and pointed at Benson, saying, “Who do you think you are to hit me like that?!”“Me? You stood in my customer’s way and disrespected him!” Benson roared, sending shivers down Britney’s spine.Then he turned to Xayne with a respectful smile and said, “Mr. Xayne, I apologize for all this. Shall I escort you?”Xayne smiled faintly and replied, “No need. Let’s just wait a little longer.”"I’m sorry, sir?" Benson frowned, confused by Xayne's words.At that moment, dozens of black Mercedes-Benz cars appeared in the Mercedes-Benz dealership’s parking lot. Several men in black suits stepped out of the cars and respectfully waited for the leading Maybach to open.The scene shocked everyone, especially the Mercedes-Benz employees, who rushed over delightedly, thinking a big client had arrived. Even the Mercedes-Benz dealership’s general manager hurried over, almost tripping.The men in black stood outside the dealership while the Mercedes-Benz staff and gener

    The parking lot was silent at that moment. Then the men in black behind Donovan exclaimed, “Mr. Xayne, sir!”The thunderous roar snapped everyone out of their shock. The Mercedes-Benz and BMW staff were astonished and could hardly believe their eyes.‘My gosh! The infamous Donovan Dane is bowing to someone younger. That young man must have a terrifying background.’Meanwhile, Britney and the others who had ridiculed Xayne were horrified. They were frightened, and some even fainted or peed themselves.Everyone feared Donovan and knew offending him resembled offending the devil. However, Donovan dared not lift his head to the man they had mocked earlier.‘Evidently, that young man’s status is terrifying.’The BMW dealership manager was still confused about the situation. He trembled as he stood beside Xayne.Although Donovan’s demeanor was intimidating, he cowered like a kitten in front of Xayne.Xayne asked coldly, “Did you bring everything I requested?”Donovan nodded. "Everyt

    Britney groveled like a dog while clutching Xayne’s pants as she pleaded and sobbed.Without Xayne needing to act, the general manager shoved Britney aside before cursing, “You piece of garbage! How dare you disrespect Mr. Xayne? Someone as shameless as you deserve to be punished.”Meanwhile, Britney lay on the ground and wailed. She was no longer as arrogant as before.Soon after, the general manager knelt before Xayne and begged, “This had nothing to do with me, sir! It’s all her fault, so I punished her. Please show me mercy by not destroying the dealership, Mr. Xayne.”Donovan approached and kicked the general manager.Bang!Donovan shouted, “How dare you bargain with Mr. Xayne?”“I-I’m sorry, I made a mistake!” The general manager knelt again, trembling all over.Xayne glared at him coldly, saying, “It’s also your fault for failing to manage your subordinates. Your dealership can remain open for another ten days, but you must treat every customer with respect and hospitali

    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
