Chapter 1147
Author: Blanco Burn
"Serena, is there really no way?" Tony asked.

Serena shook her head. "Unless Tim's family comes to plead with me."

After saying this, Serena fell silent and focused on handling the company's affairs.

Tony shook his head, turned around, and left with Violet and Royce.

Outside the gate, Sophia hurriedly approached and asked, "How did it go? Did Serena agree?"

Tony glanced at Sophia and said, "I tried my best. She said she'd let go only if your family comes to plead with her."

Sophia's eyes widened in disbelief. "What? How dare she? She wants our whole family to come and plead with her? Dream on!"

With that, Sophia stomped back to the Swift Group.

She immediately informed Tim and the others about the situation.

"What?! She wants our whole family to go and plead with her?! Outrageous!" Tim's face darkened, angry.

The other Swift family members were equally furious.

"Who does Serena think she is?"

"She's just running a little company! Does she really think she can control the fa

    About half an hour later, Tim's family, who had been waiting at the door, was furious."What the hell!? Is Serena intentionally ignoring us?" Sophia exclaimed angrily.With a stern face, Tim stared at the company's entrance and said furiously, "The audacity. Now that she has become independent, she dares to treat us like this!"Beside them, Vivian muttered, "Honey, do you think Serena really wants to destroy our Swift family?""I dare her to!" Tim shouted angrily.At that moment, an assistant walked over and said, "Gentlemen, Ms. Serena is ready to see you now."Seeing this, Tim and his family followed the assistant to the CEO's office.Tim arrogantly shouted as soon as they entered the office, "Serena, you have some nerve, demanding our family to come and plead with you before you let go? As the head of the Swift family, I command you to resume cooperation immediately!"Serena stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a cup of coffee. She turned around, her gaze coldly fix

    Serena has truly changed. After some thought, Tim forced a smile and said, "Serena, I'm still your uncle. We're family, after all. Can't you let go for the sake of our family?"Serena coldly snorted, "Uncle, you've torn our family apart. Now, it's just a simple business relationship between you and me. If you want to restore this cooperation, you must offer me satisfactory conditions."Tim's expression darkened at her words, and he followed up, "As long as we plead with you, you'll stop?"Serena replied indifferently, "That's right.""Okay." Tim nodded. He straightened up, bowed his head, and said, "Serena, it was all my fault in the past. Now, as the Swift family's representative, I beg you to stop and give the Swift family a way out."Tim was also someone who could bend and stretch.Serena's eyes reddened as she watched Tim bow before her, tears shimmering.She had waited for this day for too long.The suppressed emotions burst forth uncontrollably.She turned away and wip

    Xayne and Serena arrived in Hamsphere on the same day.Later in the evening, the two took a cab directly to the designated hotel, which was the famous Oldbros Hotel in Hamsphere.It was a mid-to-high-end hotel, but considering the class reunion, they didn't opt for somewhere overly upscale.The organizer was Serena's college class monitor, Kian Lawley, a local rich scion in Hamsphere with considerable influence.He organized a class reunion every year to catch up on recent developments.However, due to the distance between Hamsphere and Venzor, Serena had never been invited before.Hearing that Serena was coming to Hamsphere this time, Kian arranged this gathering.Just as Serena and Xayne got out of the car, a Lamborghini came driving toward them."Huh? Serena, I didn't expect it was you! You took a cab here?" A highly arrogant female voice came over.Xayne looked over and saw a woman wearing sunglasses leaning out of the Lamborghini's passenger seat."Aileen Thorn?" Serena

    "Wow... A real transformation indeed. I never imagined Serena would change so much," exclaimed one."She's absolutely stunning. I hereby declare, from this day forth, you're my girl crush," another chimed in."Serena, you're stunning. Ever thought about becoming a big-time star?" A male classmate complimented.Male classmates gathered their attention on Serena. Even some girlfriends' boyfriends couldn't help but gaze at her, sparking jealousy among their female companions and bitterness among some female classmates.Soon, a male classmate approached, offering a drink to Serena."Serena, let me toast to you first.""No need to be polite. My wife isn't good with alcohol, so I'll drink on her behalf."At that moment, Xayne reached out from behind, took the drink, and downed it in one go.All the men present were stunned.They stared at Xayne's sudden appearance, their eyes filled with bewilderment."Your wife?""Who is this guy? Do you know him?""Is he really Serena's husband

    Serena never expected Xayne to retaliate in such a manner, her cheeks suddenly flushing red."There are so many people here." Serena lightly pushed Xayne away without reproach.The men present were nearly mad with jealousy. They all cried inwardly, questioning why Serena had fallen for such a loser.If it weren't for Serena, who was still present, they might have already beaten Xayne.Xayne's smug expression now was just too arrogant."Serena, you better think it over. This man is nothing but a loser. He can't protect you. You'll regret being with him." Kian's face turned dark, but he couldn't do anything.Just then, Millie Westwood, one of Serena's former close friends, came up and said, "All right, you don't have to rub it in. Why don't you two sit down first?"While leaving this sentence, Millie also gave Kian a meaningful look.Kian realized his outburst, immediately shutting his mouth and welcoming Serena and Xayne to their seats.Soon, Aileen, whom Serena had just met,

    "He works at Hoxin Group? Goodness, I had no idea. Kian is way too low-key!""If you've got money, don't forget your friends. Kian, is your company hiring? How about introducing me to a job there so I can help out?"Classmates immediately raised their glasses to him, their words full of flattery.Just then, someone asked about Aileen. "Speaking of which, where does your boyfriend work?"Aileen proudly replied, "This is my boyfriend, Grayson Bowen. He's amazing. His parents own the biggest steel mill in the Hamsphere, and even the military theater relies on their materials. Plus, my boyfriend knows people in the military."Others admired Grayson even more upon hearing this.They all raised their glasses and chatted, hoping to leave a good impression.After three rounds of drinks, the whole private room burst into songs, and the lighting became somewhat ambiguous.At this moment, Kian deliberately pulled Millie over and asked, "What should we do now? It seems like Serena isn't in

    At that moment, everyone dancing or chatting under the lights stopped and turned to look at the door.The gaze of those thugs swept across the banquet, quickly spotting Kian, confirming they were in the right place.Then, their leader, a guy with a head of yellow hair, sneered. "Our boss wants a lady to drink with tonight. I want all women here to line up.""I advise you to be sensible, or there'll be consequences. We won't shy away from sending you to the hospital," someone warned.With their iron rods, the thugs banged on the door, smashing it to pieces. Even the windowsills and tabletop glass shattered, causing several female students to scream, covering their ears."Is there no law here? If you want to touch the women here, you must get through us first!"Some impulsive male students stepped forward to act heroic.However, these thugs were seasoned street fighters experienced in alley brawls and had iron rods in hand. The male students who rushed forward to take the lead were

    Many couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines. Luckily, they didn't lay hands on Xayne just now. If they did, Xayne could probably crush them without lifting a finger."Well done!""Now that's a real man. The rest are just trash!""You were all looking down on him earlier, but when things got tough, it turns out Xayne is the most reliable!"The female classmates who had looked down on Xayne before were now impressed by him and praised him one after another.The boyfriends of those female classmates all lowered their heads in shame, regretting their cowardice just now."Stop it! Stop it! We're leaving! We're leaving!" The guy with yellow hair, kicked by Xayne once again, struggled to run toward the door, begging for mercy."You want to leave? You guys haven't told me who sent you to cause trouble!"Xayne, however, stepped on his back, denying him the chance to escape while demanding to know the mastermind behind the scenes.When these thugs entered the room, he knew the

    "There are more than thirty of them?" Xayne's heart pounded. That meant there were people even stronger than Horin."They're all waiting... waiting for the Ruins of the Dragon Clan to surface. In the end, anyone who craves that treasure will lose their life to greed. That is the cycle of the world." Horin gazed into the distance with a calm expression.He had not been avoiding conflict—he had been biding his time, accumulating power. Xayne could sense it in his eyes. There was ambition there. Every move Horin made served his ultimate goal. Even forging a connection with Xayne had been a calculated step to expand his influence.Xayne was a lone warrior, with no faction backing him. From Horin's perspective, all he had to do was lend Xayne a hand, earn his gratitude, and that was enough. That was why Horin had treated him so favorably. He had even shared some of his own insights, sharpening Xayne’s mindset, strengthening his abilities. Someday, Xayne might become one of his strongest ass

    Xander sized up Fent and spoke coldly. "Fent, will you not turn back from your misguided path?"Fent struggled to his feet, his glare filled with hostility. He spat on the ground and growled, "I will never stand on the same side as Xayne! And you, mark my words—when I return from this mountain, it will be the day of your demise. Just you wait!" With that, he dragged his battered body away, limping down the mountain path without looking back. Stringer and Yeti flanked him, offering their support as he leaned on them for balance.At the Heavenly Water Sanctuary, to the east, a towering waterfall crashed down in torrents. To the west, a quiet river snaked through the valley, its current slow and steady. At the river’s heart lay a tranquil pool, its surface untouched by the world beyond.A hundred feet above the gorge, nestled into the cliffside, a cave overlooked the breathtaking scenery. The air was crisp and pure, carrying the scent of fresh earth and mountain blossoms."Senior, this p

    Fent did not dare utter a single word of protest. Clutching his chest, he trembled as he knelt before Horin."How is your teacher?" Horin turned slightly, directing his question to Yeti."It has been a hundred years since I last saw him. I do not know," Yeti replied with the utmost reverence.Horin suddenly shifted his gaze to Xayne. "The secret of the Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars… lies like the self—no thoughts, no desires, no life, no death! It does not rely on the power of the stars! The world follows the Path of Veyara, but what is the Path of Veyara? The radiance of the stars is not true light." His words were spoken softly as if he were merely muttering to himself—or perhaps offering Xayne a lesson.Xayne's heart stirred. Horin’s insight was astounding. The eight words—"No thoughts, no desires, no life, no death."—lingered in his mind. They placed Horin far beyond the comprehension of ordinary cultivators."Magnetic fields… are simply the pull of the stars. They have al

    "Do you yield?" Horin gazed at Xayne with a calm, indifferent expression.Fent and the others broke out in a cold sweat. Just a single finger—that was all it took. It proved that Horin’s power was unfathomable. Standing before him, they felt no different from mere ants. But what was even stranger was the complete absence of dominance around Horin. No oppressive force. No overwhelming presence. It was as if he, the heavens, the earth—everything—were one. His arrival, and that single finger strike, felt less like an act of man and more like the will of the universe itself.Xayne was beyond shocked. But he was not the only one. Andrea, watching the live broadcast, sat in stunned silence. He could hardly believe what he had just witnessed. Because the one who had been defeated—was Xayne.'Then what realm had this man reached? Quad-Radiant Commander? Rising Numen Commander? Or had he already ascended to Numen Commander?' The mere thought sent shivers down Andrea’s spine.The Light Order’s

    Xayne’s comprehension must have been immense—not only to counter Fent’s attack but to transform it into his own. Fent would have easily blocked this spear had he not taken that devastating palm strike.But now, his entire right side was caved in. One arm hung limply, the other completely empty. No sword, no weapon, not even a sliver of metal remained to block Xayne’s spear. It was no different from trying to catch a nuclear warhead.Yet, Fent had no choice. His retreat had already been cut off. If he turned his back, he would only meet a deadly stab from behind—a certain death sentence."If I die—then I'll drag you down with me!" Fent’s face twisted in fury. With only one thought in his mind, he lunged toward Xayne. He would deliver a lethal palm strike, even if it meant taking Xayne’s spear head-on."Master, he's going for mutual destruction!" From a distance, Esmond saw Fent shooting forward and cried out in alarm.But Xayne had already seen through him. And now, there was no turning

    Xayne appeared to be at his limit, yet in truth, he was far from it. From the Heavenly Tome, he had already mastered the Seven-Star Footwork to perfection. With the slightest lift of his feet, his positioning shifted unpredictably.Three consecutive strikes from Fent were missed completely. The sheer force of the sword energy alone shattered the nearby trees into splinters.Xayne lunged forward, spear in hand, as a formation flared to life around him. In an instant, multiple spear projections erupted outward, each infused with lethal intent, hurtling toward Fent from every angle."Not good! Fall back quickly!" Elder Stringer suddenly shouted toward Fent.But at that very moment, just as the spears were about to pierce into Fent's body, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Fent's lips. It went exactly as he had planned. From the very start, his attacks had merely been probing. Through those exchanges, Fent had already figured out that Xayne's strength was high, but his battle exp

    Just as Fent unleashed his full-force attack, far away in the Skyveria Cave Heaven within Nindragon Mountain, a young man with long hair slowly rose from a white lotus platform. He turned to the elderly figure beside him and murmured, "Fent of White Blossom Mountain?" The elderly figure was none other than Xander. Xander frowned slightly and said, "Your Excellency, in truth, the moment Killian's descendant was attacked days ago, forces from outer battlegrounds had already begun their plans. This time, they've dispatched eleven Radiant Commanders just to erase the last glimmer of hope for Drakonia. If Xayne dies, the three Dragon Hearts will be masterless, and the Ruins of Dragon Clan will never be opened again!" Xander spoke with no emotion as if merely stating an unrelated fact. Upon hearing this, Horin Tamie, the Creator of Light Order, turned his gaze toward Xayne's distant battlefield before suddenly tilting his head back and laughing. "Xander, are you truly not worried about

    Xayne let out a sudden roar, and his Scarlet Dragon Lance erupted with a dazzling radiance. The void within hundreds of meters shuddered violently, while the earth beneath them cracked open with deep fissures. At this moment, the sky seemed on the verge of being torn apart by the overwhelming force. Xayne's aura surged to its absolute peak. "Elder Stringer! Hurry! You and I must join forces to kill him! He's burning his life force, he can't last much longer! Just hold out a little longer, and he will surely perish!" Fent roared at Elder Stringer. But there was no need for Fent to say anything; Elder Stringer and Yeti could already feel it. Xayne was igniting his very soul. Elder Stringer unleashed his full strength at that instant, his sword slashing toward Xayne with killing intent. They needed just five more minutes. Xayne's aura would surely weaken, and when that moment came, it would be the end of him. "Hold out? Do you think you have a chance to kill me?" Xayne let out a c

    After the relentless battles, Xayne was clearly at his limit. Fent refused to believe that Xayne could still put up a fight. He could distinctly sense Xayne's aura weakening. As the saying goes, "Strike while the iron is hot." With a sudden tremor of his body, Fent flicked his wrist, and the sword he had tossed aside earlier shot back into his grasp. With a single thrust, his blade erupted with a dazzling silver radiance, peerless sword energy piercing straight into the sky. Fent wasn't regarded as the peak combatant among the eleven just because of his raw power. It was because he wielded a lost secret formation from White Blossom Mountain, the "Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars."Strictly speaking, this formation surpassed conventional formations. It was a forbidden secret formation. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a peerless heavenly skill. The origins of the Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars could be traced back to the first ancestor of White Blossom Mounta
