Upon hearing Conor's words, they hesitated. Later, some of them stood up and chose to follow Conor, while others sat in the cell, choosing to accept punishment. Seeing that only half of the people followed him, Conor said to them, "Then, we'll meet again someday."The others could only wave goodbye to Conor.Then, unexpectedly, Conor suddenly aimed his gun at the ones who stayed behind, firing several shots at them, killing them all in the cell. Seeing Conor personally kill his people, the other few old subordinates showed surprised expressions on their faces. They never expected Conor to be so ruthless as to kill even his men. Although these subordinates didn't end up leaving with Conor in the end, they followed him for many years.When Conor went mad, he did not spare any mercy."Let's go, we need to leave quickly!"Conor handed the key to the survivor, then went to each cell and released all the prisoners inside. The people from the Venzor Military Headquarters noticed the
Meanwhile, Venzor’s patrol apprehended Kian at a downtown hotel. Kian was at wit's end, not knowing why he had been arrested until the interrogation concluded.Two days later, Serena and some of the staff were discharged from the hospital, and work quickly resumed its normal pace. Xayne was currently at his mansion, engaged in conversation with Ace."In a few days, we'll head back to Black Prison. Notify Deuce and Trey to come back and guard Venzor," Xayne instructed, his voice cold. "I don't want any mishaps to happen with Serena while I'm away. Also, keep an eye on the Swift family. If there's any suspicious activity, arrest them all!"Ace nodded respectfully. "Yes, commander.""Oh, and what about the investigation into the Bullard family?" Xayne inquired.Ace replied, "Our men from the Dracarium have been discreetly searching, but it seems challenging. However, we've received some information, and the headquarters is currently consolidating it."Xayne nodded. "Understood. We
Blood Butcher fell silent for a moment, holding the crimson flame jade pendant in his hand. "All right."That day, Blood Butcher and Ilya rode in a special car to the Seven Dragons Mountain near Drakonix. The car stopped at the foot of the mountain, where patrolling soldiers came to inspect them. Then, the two men got out and began walking uphill toward the mansion, halfway up the mountain."General Butcher, please follow me," Ilya said, leading Blood Butcher along the steps toward the underground.Blood Butcher furrowed, hands clasped behind his back, following behind Ilya as they descended underground.Upon entering, they were greeted by an ancient, elegant architectural space with nine dragons spewing water.At this moment, a figure slowly emerged from behind the curtains. Ilya stood at the bottom of the hall, bowing respectfully. "Your majesty, General Blood Butcher has arrived.""Hmm." An aged voice emanated from behind the curtains.Blood Butcher stood behind Ilya. He fu
This old fox's goal was to unify Drakonia’s Five Pillars and overthrow the Supreme Commander."Flame King, I have to say, your goal is ambitious, but this is a very dangerous move. I don't have such grand ambitions. Being a district commander is enough for me. I apologize for the intrusion." Being shrewd, the Butcher immediately got up and turned to leave.However, Ilya directly blocked the Butcher's path, his expression cold. "General Butcher, please listen to what our leader has to say."The Butcher's expression turned stern as he looked at the Flame King seated on the sofa.With a chuckle, the Flame King said, "General Butcher, I know what you're worried about. But do you know why I chose you?"Frowning, the Butcher asked, "Why?""Because you're ruthless and willing to do whatever it takes. But today, it seems that I was wrong. Your ambition is not enough. If you want to leave, then leave," the Flame King said, gesturing for Ilya to let him go.Blood Butcher frowned, and he t
"Um, so you're my cousin-in-law, but someone has already picked me up. This is my boyfriend. He'll take good care of me. I plan to go out with him for a while before heading back," Aliyah said, feeling a bit embarrassed as she looked at the unfamiliar man before her.She felt more secure with her boyfriend than Xayne, whom she met for the first time."No, your sister instructed me to take you back. If I don't take you back, I won't be able to explain myself." Xayne's tone was firm.Pouting, Aliyah said unhappily, "What I do is my business. You're not my mom, why do you get to control me?"Niko also leaned out and said discontentedly, "She's already an adult. Is there anything to worry about?""All right then, I'll call your cousin. If she agrees, then I won't interfere." Xayne picked up his phone, preparing to call Serena.This time, Aliyah panicked and quickly waved her hands to stop him. "No, no... All right, I'll go back with you first. We also need to drop off the luggage any
"Regardless, my business is none of your concern." Aliyah believed Xayne's words but grew even more disgusted with him."He had been looking at his phone since just now. If it were something work-related, he would be very nervous and wouldn't be leisurely sitting down to eat with you. Moreover, when he was looking at his phone, he would often glance at you. There's only one possibility. He's chatting with his lover."Xayne’s analysis was both skills and years of experience."That's enough! Can you please shut up for a moment? Even if everything you said is true, what do you want me to do about it?!" Aliyah could not help but yell, immediately attracting the attention of others around them.Seeing others looking over, Aliyah had to suppress her anger and just sat there, glaring at Xayne without saying another word. Xayne also stopped talking.He was not afraid of offending Aliyah, but he had heard that Aliyah got along quite well with Serena. He just wanted to give her a warning an
"No, someone will come to pick me up," Aliyah frowned and looked away."Miss, you don't look like you're from around here. Are you a tourist? How about I bring you around?" The bald man persisted.This area was close to the high-speed railway station, and there were often many girls from out of town. He thought that as long as he took the initiative, those girls who were unfamiliar with the place would get into his car.Aliyah sternly said, "I told you I don't need you. My boyfriend is nearby, and he'll come to find me soon! Show some respect!"The bald man could not help but reach out and touch Aliyah's chin, looking at her figure and sweet face. This woman was so sexy that he could not just let her go.This bald man's name was Toby Lou. He was considered a nouveau riche in this area and liked to flaunt his wealth. After getting money, he often drove his luxury car around and tried to hook up with young college girls.This was the beginning of the school year, and many students
"Ah... but..." Niko hesitated, feeling unwilling but also afraid."Haven't you heard what I said? Is this woman or your family's business more important?" Toby scolded Niko when he saw he was still unwilling to leave."Okay, I'll leave right away. I'll leave immediately." Niko immediately gave in.Although he did like Aliyah, she was just one of many women to him. There was no need to risk his family's business for her."Niko, have you lost your mind? Are you scared of him? How can you be so useless?!" Aliyah was so angry that she was almost in tears, trying hard to escape Toby's grasp. However, she was just a weak woman, and Toby was a big fat man weighing over two hundred pounds. There was no way she could break free. Instead, Toby painfully squeezed her hand.Being scolded, Niko could only bow his head and dare not resist.Just then, a car pulled up beside them, the door opened, and Xayne stepped out."You guys ran pretty fast. I almost couldn't catch up with you. Come on,
Xayne's cold eyes swept over the elderly man before him as his voice dropped to an icy tone. "I, Xayne, have no idea what chaos I've supposedly caused. It's this Delwyn, masquerading as me, spreading havoc everywhere. What exactly is his agenda?"He paused, letting the silence stretch before continuing, "I may not be some untouchable figure, but as the King of the North, he has committed the crime of defiling a sovereign's honor. By law, his entire family should be eradicated. Killing him alone is already an act of mercy!"Then Xayne turned on his heel, his cloak sweeping through the air as he walked away without a backward glance.The elderly man clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles cracked audibly as he watched Xayne's figure disappear into the distance. Even Delwyn was not a match for Xayne. For him to step in would be suicide."Master Lincoln, what do we do? If the Christy family in Heavenly Peak learns that Young Master Delwyn died without cause, they'll hold us acc
Delwyn clung to his last desperate hope, the secret technique of the Three Absolutes Formation. It was the only bargaining chip he thought could make Xayne hesitate.Xayne stared at him coldly and demanded, "Where is it?"Without even a moment to think, Delwyn blurted out, "It's sewn into the inner lining of my undershirt! You can take it anytime!"If his shoulders hadn't been shattered, he would have retrieved it himself. Xayne reached out and tore open Delwyn's coat, ripping the undershirt clean off.Sure enough, inside was a piece of white silk, densely covered in ancient symbols and writings detailing the secrets of the Three Absolutes Formation. Xayne scanned the text twice, committing the intricate details to memory with ease."Xayne! You'll let me go now, right?" Delwyn looked up, his eyes filled with fragile hope as he studied Xayne's expression.But Xayne's face remained as cold as ice. "I'm afraid I can't let you go. However, I can grant you the dignity of a whole corps
Even Delwyn himself hadn't anticipated how powerful the Heaven's Absolute Formations could be once he left the Christy family estate in Heavenly Peak. Back in Heavenly Peak, when he used the same technique, its strength had been far weaker.Now, watching the furious tornado, a maelstrom of lightning, and roaring winds rushing toward Xayne, Delwyn could already picture his rival's gruesome end.Suddenly, the stars above shimmered, their light intensifying as Xayne hurled his Ravenclaw dagger. A streak of brilliance shot straight into the heart of the raging tornado."Shatter!" Xayne roared, his voice echoing like thunder. A beam of starlight descended from the heavens, merging with the dagger. It plunged into the core of the tornado.The ground shook with a deafening explosion, and an eerie wail emerged from the tornado, a sound of anguish, almost otherworldly.In an instant, the tornado began to weaken, its destructive force visibly dissipating. Delwyn stared in disbelief. He watc
Xayne couldn't help but feel a twinge of curiosity, the Christy family had some formidable depth to their lineage.As Delwyn's body plummeted from the 18th-floor window, a chorus of gasps erupted from the crowd below."Oh my God! Someone's falling from the building!""Move out of the way!""Call an ambulance, quick!"But before anyone could process what they were witnessing, Delwyn twisted his body mid-air and landed on his feet. He staggered backward several steps, nearly losing his balance, but steadied himself by grabbing a nearby black sedan.At the same moment, Xayne leaped from the same floor, his figure cutting through the air like a hawk. He knew Delwyn wasn't an ordinary man. He can't be hurt even if he falls flat without resistance from a building with more than ten floors.No matter who it was, if they were a Divine Commander, the strength of their physical body had long surpassed that of a diamond. Not only could they endure falls, but even artillery fire might not h
As the purple lightning streaked through the window, Xayne closed his eyes halfway, focusing intently to bring his mind into a state of complete emptiness. It was only in this meditative void that he could attempt to recapture that fleeting sense of clarity.Though Xayne had once unleashed a similar formation in his duel with Lyuben, the essence of such formations remained beyond his comprehension. His execution was guided purely by instinct, a far cry from the mastery and stability demonstrated by Lyuben and Delwyn. Time-pressed against Xayne like a vice. He had less than a millisecond to react.If the purple lightning struck him, even as a Quin-Divine Commander at his level or if he was a level higher, the damage would be catastrophic, possibly fatal. Thunder Might of Heaven was something no human strength could withstand.The moment the purple lightning appeared in the suite, its devastating power became evident. Several elites who had been kneeling closest to the lightning's tra
Unfortunately, Heavenly Tome did not include the Three Absolutes Formation. There were, however, detailed descriptions of its complexity.This formation said to originate from the First Dragon, had long been forgotten, its full potential left unrealized by those who came after him. The Three Absolutes referred to: Heaven's Absolute, Earth's Absolute, and Man's Absolute. Among them, Heaven's Absolute was the most domineering, Earth's Absolute the most intricate, and Man's Absolute the most ferocious.Delwyn had only mastered the Heaven's Absolute. The pale-blue light curtain surrounding him seemed to embody the so-called Thunder Might of Heaven. If pushed to its limits, this formation could summon something akin to devastating lightning strikes, powerful enough to annihilate anything in its path. Be it life or matter, nothing could stand against such divine retribution. It bore an uncanny resemblance to the world-altering formation the Golden Dragon King had unleashed in times past.
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
