"Don't worry. We'll clear you of all charges if it’s all your husband's doing. You're just an innocent bystander. Nothing will happen to you."

Serena shook her head vigorously and shouted, "No! My husband didn't tell me to steal any secrets! You're bullshitting! My husband is the Supreme Commander of the Northern Plains. He has made significant contributions to Drakonia. He wouldn't do such things. It’s all a set-up!"

The sergeant frowned and ordered, "Pluck her nails off!"

The burly man gripped one of Serena's fingernails with the plier and asked, "Will you talk?"

Serena trembled as she shook her head, saying, "No, I—"

"Stubborn little brat!" The burly man rebuked, slowly pulling at Serena’s fingernail.

An excruciating pain spread throughout Serena's body. It felt like her soul was getting ripped apart, causing her entire body to tense. She bit her lips until they bled and then screamed, "Ahhh!"

The burly man had pulled out her fingernail, causing blood to splatter and Serena t

    The Military District Seven soldiers were stunned. The captain saluted and shouted, "Duty Captain Ericson at your service, Mr. Hammond."Ericson knew who Hammond was and that stopping him would resemble seeking death.“Company, salute!” Dozens of soldiers stood at attention and saluted.Hammond scoffed and asked coldly, "Where are the businesspeople from Venzor? Take me to them now."Ericson responded, "Sir, yes, sir!"He then quickly led the four elders to cell nine. Inside, Serena was in a bloody and fleshy mess. Blood dripped from her fingers and fell to the ground. She was unconscious and unable to hold on any longer.The burly man tried several times to wake her with cold water, but it no longer worked. He said, "Sergeant, it's useless. She won't wake up.”The sergeant glanced at the time and said grimly, "Is there another way to make her confess?"After some thought, the burly man glanced at the red-hot branding iron in the nearby stove and said, "I could use that."The

    The sergeant bled from his lips as he looked up and saw the figure standing before him. He was terrified, quickly lowering his head and stammering, “M-Mr. Hammond, sir…”Hammond was outraged as he turned and glanced at Serena, who was bloodied and bound to a chair. The older man was anxious as he looked at the young lady. Hammond roared, “Quick, get her to Dr. Stephen now!”Several guards untied Serena from the chair and then removed her from the interrogation room. Meanwhile, Hammond glared at the sergeant and said, “Take him away, too. Don’t let him contact anyone without my permission. Wait until the Supreme Commander returns before any further discussion.”“Right away, sir!”Afterward, Hammond jogged to catch up with the other guards. Warren and the other two elders were waiting in the courtyard. Warren’s expression turned grave when he saw the Drakonian guards carrying a severely injured woman out.‘It’s over for whoever did this. Something terrible is about to happen.’Warr

    The lieutenant was in a dilemma. One side was the Drakonian Council, and the other was Flame King. He dared not defy either side. “Please forgive me, Mr. Warren. My unit has orders to seal this place off. If you have any issues, please consult Flame King.”Ultimately, the lieutenant gritted his teeth and waved for his men to reinforce the blockade.Warren had never felt so angry. A cold aura engulfed him as he roared, “Let’s see if any of you dare to shoot me when I try to leave this place!”When he stepped forward, the five hundred soldiers stepped back. They dared not shoot Warren as he was the Grand Elder of the Drakonian Council. His authority was even higher than Flame King’s in certain aspects.“Let’s leave,” Warren told the other elders as he took another step, causing the soldiers to step back again. He continued to walk, and the soldiers kept retreating.The lieutenant’s expression turned solemn when he saw the elders almost leaving the area. He shouted, “Stop them! That’

    Hammond nodded and said, “All right, I’m coming with you.”Even Lexter and Leroy agreed. “We’re coming, too.”The four elders headed straight to Flame King’s mansion in Drakonix.Ten minutes later, Stephen’s villa descended into chaos. His housekeepers were busy the whole time, carrying bloody water, clean water, and gauze in and out of the room.Inside, Stephen nervously performed surgery on Serena. He was shocked when he saw her horrifying scars and ten missing fingernails. Such injuries would have been fatal for an ordinary person, and they would have died long ago.Although Serena held on, she had a high fever and kept mumbling Xayne and Coco’s names. After four hours of surgery, Stephen left the room, covered in sweat. He sighed and shook his head helplessly.Dragos anxiously approached and asked, "Dr. Stephen, how is she?""Her injuries are too severe. I've even performed acupuncture to prolong her life, but she only has three days. She’ll be okay if she survives these thr

    Baruk and Edwin were shocked. The latter asked, “What are you saying, Commander Xayne? We’re only half a day from Black Prison. Why would you want to turn back now?”Edwin was anxious as he had a mission to rescue the young master of the Black Riders. Even Baruk was puzzled, asking, “What happened, Mr. Xayne? Why the sudden change of plans?”The fear in Xayne’s heart did not subside. He knew his instincts were always right. He sensed something had happened to his wife.He glanced back at the duo and said, “I apologize sincerely, but I must return due to personal reasons. We’ll resume our visit to Black Prison once I’ve sorted things out back home.”Edwin grew agitated, saying, “Commander Xayne, I thought you said you wanted to rescue your grandfather. Why would you go back when you haven’t done anything? What if your grandfather is in the Black Prison?"After looking at the isolated black island for a moment, Xayne muttered, "Grandfather, I'm sorry for being an unfilial grandson.

    Xayne frowned and said, "Contact Dracarium Headquarters."“Right away, Drakon King.” Draven followed Xayne’s orders and soon received a message. The former said urgently, "Drakon King. Dragos issued an order through Dracarium three hours ago.”"What’s the order?" Xayne asked."He ordered all personnel from Dracarium to gather within Drakonia. Madam Serena is in critical condition. If Madam Serena’s life is still at risk in three days, Dragos and the others will destroy Flame King’s mansion and its people." Draven sighed, his heart bursting with anger.A raging fury engulfed Xayne's eyes. He roared in anger, “Serena’s life’s in danger?! Fly to Drakonix as soon as possible.”His previous unease made sense at that moment. His entire body trembled with anger.'Flame King, you're courting death!'…The Emperor stood with his hands behind his back on the mansion’s balcony on the ninth floor. He gazed at Drakonix’s scenery, exuding the aura of a mighty king.Drake walked over and bow

    Drake quickly sent an imperial decree from the pavilion straight to Flame King’s mansion.At Flame King’s mansion, a large number of his guards faced off against the Drakonian Council guards. Both sides had thousands of armed soldiers. Additionally, there were continuous arrivals of military trucks around, from which more soldiers appeared.Flame King’s guards knew they were facing formidable enemies. Even Warren and the other elders led a thousand Drakonian Council guards to surround Flame King’s mansion.At the main entrance, Flame King's two thousand guards were on high alert, aiming their guns at the Drakonian Council soldiers. The atmosphere was tense, on the verge of erupting.Warren, Hammond, and the other two elders stood proudly before the mansion gates. The elders were furious. Warren roared, “Tell Flame King to come out and see me!”Flame King wore his Flame Commander's robe, with the Kirin Dagger at his waist and a pistol on his hip. He sat on the commander's seat in t

    The officer glanced at Flame King and said through gritted teeth, "No one asked me to do this. I did it myself."He suddenly stood up, grabbed a pistol from a soldier's waist, and shot himself in the head. The sudden scene caught Lexter and the others off guard. Meanwhile, Flame King looked at the body lying in a pool of blood and told Lexter, "Mr. Lexter, what's going on?"Lexter expression darkened as he turned to Warren.Warren stared at Flame King and said coldly, "Flame King, you and I know the truth. There's no point beating around the bush. I came to demand justice. If you can't give us a reasonable explanation, I'll demolish your mansion today."Flame King frowned. "Mr. Warren, although you are the grand elder of the Drakonian Council, you’re in my house. According to the laws of Drakonia, I have the right to subdue or even kill intruders who trespass without authorization."His words silenced everyone. His eyes glinted as he stared at Warren and the others. The tension be

    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
