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
Xayne frowned and responded calmly, "Yes, is there a problem?"Royce retorted, "Are you sure this is yours? This car costs eighty-five grand! Where did a loser like you get the money to buy such a nice car? Did you rent it?"Violet's eyes widened when she heard how much the car cost. She was in disbelief and asked her son, "Royce, are you sure this car costs that much?!"Although Violet became part of the Swift family after marrying Tony, she did not get much from them and relied on Tony’s modest salary. Therefore, she was shocked to hear about the car’s cost and doubted Xayne.“I’ve checked it, Mom. It’s a top-of-the-line BMW 5 Series. I didn’t make a mistake!” Royce exclaimed, his eyes turning green with envy.‘Xayne bought such a nice car. Something fishy must be happening here.’“Are you done looking? I have things to do and can’t hang around,” Xayne said while lifting Coco out of the backseat.Violet grabbed his arm as he approached the yard and asked, “Where are you going?
Violet finally returned to her senses and rushed to pull Xayne away, screaming, “Ah! You’re insane! Let go of my son, Xayne!”However, Xayne remained unfazed as his eyes revealed a murderous intent.“Daddy? I’m scared. Please don’t fight,” Coco sobbed while tugging at Xayne’s pants.Coco's cries snapped Xayne out of his anger. He glared at Violet, then released Royce, causing him to collapse.Royce clutched his neck and coughed while gasping for air. After finally catching his breath, he yelled, “Xayne, how dare you lay your hands on me?! I’ll tell my grandpa and my dad!”“Whatever,” Xayne said coldly before lifting Coco. Then he comforted her and walked into the yard.Royce stood outside the gate while Violet looked pained, asking, “Are you okay?”“Xayne nearly choked me to death!” Royce thundered, his eyes bloodshot.“Hmph! That bastard is too arrogant. Royce, let’s expose Xayne and Serena for embezzling company funds. I bet your grandfather will punish Serena when we tell hi
Eric gathered a dozen servants and stormed toward Serena and Xayne’s yard. Meanwhile, Royce and Violet followed close behind smugly.The dramatic scene caught the attention of the other Swift family members. Xayne and Serena’s embezzling rumor spread like wildfire thanks to Xayne and Violet.One onlooker exclaimed, “That’s not possible, right?! Is it true that Serena embezzled company funds to help Xayne buy an eighty-five thousand dollar car?”“Hmph, no surprise there. I always knew Serena was cunning,” another onlooker chimed in.Then a curious employee speculated, “Serena just got promoted and is already embezzling? Is Xayne manipulating her?”Discussions and speculations spread throughout the Swift family residence and the company. Sophia was one of the first to hear the rumor and was elated, so she hurried to inform Tim about it, “Dad, did you hear? Serena embezzled company funds to buy an eighty-five thousand dollar car for Xayne. Grandpa is confronting them about it.”Tim
The commotion woke Coco up, and she exited the bedroom in her pajamas. The little one rubbed her sleepy eyes and saw her mother kneeling on the ground. She noticed people scolding her mother and sprinted over.Coco glared at Eric as she stood before her mother. She said with determination, “Stop bullying my mother! You’re an evil man.”“Coco!” Serena held her daughter, and the two clung to each other fearfully as the Swifts pointed and gossiped about them.“Hmph! A lowlife and an illegitimate child shouldn’t be members of the Swift family!”“I advise you to speak the truth, Serena. Otherwise, we’ll kick you and that child out of the family.”Meanwhile, Coco nestled in her mother’s arms and wiped her mother’s tears. The little one looked determined as she comforted Serena, “Mommy, don’t cry. Daddy promised to protect us.”“You’re dreaming, kid! Do you think your wretched father can protect you? Where is he now? He probably ran away,” Vivian remarked.“No, Daddy won’t abandon Mumm
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
