A dense barrage of bullets poured out. However, at that moment, as Xayne knocked out one of the assassins with a punch, he also drew a dagger from the assassin's waist. With a swift movement, he pierced it toward one of the assassins' helmets, making a sharp sound as it hit. The dagger pierced through the helmet, directly into the assassin's forehead. As the assassin turned to fire back, blood was already seeping into his helmet, and he collapsed to the ground. The last assassin who was still shooting, just as he pulled the trigger, saw the shirtless figure in front of him flashing, and he had already rushed to him. Xayne grabbed the assassin's gun with one hand, lifted the gun muzzle upward, and the dense bullets hit the air. At the same time, he grabbed the assassin's neck tightly with one hand, lifting him half a meter off the ground, and roared angrily, "Who sent you here?" This roar echoed through the night, declaring Xayne's raging anger. The last assassin, strugg
Laying a hand on Serena would lead to a dead end to them. Ace respectfully said, "Commander, I'll inform them right away and summon fifty thousand troops from The Northern Plains to head to Folksworth in three days. None of those Folksworth people will escape." Xayne stared sharply at the group of corpses and said fiercely, "These bodies, send someone to Blood Butcher! Tell him to clean his neck and wait to die! In three days, I will take his poor life." Ace went to carry out the orders. Serena jumped into Xayne's arms, tears streaming uncontrollably. Xayne comforted her, "It's okay, it's all over now." Serena, with snot and tears running down her face, cried like a little kitten. "When you fell, I thought I'd never see you again." Xayne said casually, "Don't worry, these little scoundrels can't harm a hair on your husband's head!" Coco also cried, "Daddy, please don't get hurt. Mommy, please don't be sad!" Xayne lifted Coco with one arm. "Coco, don't cry. Daddy is a
Dagger narrated, "The Riller family is a prominent family in Xanwood, and Dominic is the Chief Patrol Officer. How could they be willing to let someone trample on their dignity? The Riller family sent Jason to Venzor and ordered his men to take down Xayne within a day." Vince contemplated for a moment and began planning. "Do you recognize the Riller family's subordinates in Venzor?" Dagger nodded. "I've been mingling in Venzor for over ten years and basically know everyone. His name is Lyzon, a kingpin of the underground forces in Venzor. However, Xayne has already taken down another kingpin in Venzor, Darren. This Lyzon probably won't pose a threat to Xayne." Vince responded, "If Lyzon isn't a threat, then let's help him become one!" Dagger understood Vince's meaning instantly. "Sir, you mean using someone else to do the dirty work?" Vince smirked. "Since Xayne is already on guard against us, let's use a blade he hasn't guarded against yet. Do you think he'll have time to pr
After knocking down the group of lackeys, Vince calmly said, "I wonder if I have the negotiating power now?" Lyzon, not beating around the bush, asked, "Mr. Vince, what exactly is your goal?" Vince replied slowly, "The same as yours, to take down Xayne." Lyzon and Vince quickly reached an agreement. Lyzon said directly, "Come, tidy up this place. I want to have a drink with you, Mr. Vince." ... The news of the incident on Jade Street spread quickly and soon reached the ears of the Swift family in Venzor. Tim was at the helm of the Swift family. After the patriarch of the Swift family, Eric, fell ill, Tim became the new decision-maker of the Swift family. Tim was furious, "What are we going to do now? Xayne has offended the Riller family in Xanwood. If the Riller family gets angry and shifts their anger to our Swift family, what will we do then?" Tony replied, "It shouldn't come to that. Now that Serena has severed ties with the Swift family, there's no reason for th
Royce couldn't hold back his tears. "Dad, you've got to come up with a plan. We can't just sit here and do nothing!" Tony contemplated for a while before slowly saying, "We'll complete his task first. As long as we hold on until the old man wakes up, we'll have a fighting chance." Royce's face was bitter. "But we don't know anyone from the Riller family. How are we supposed to complete Uncle's task?" Tony said, "Although we don't know anyone from the Riller family, I know someone who works under them in Venzor." A glimmer of hope appeared in Royce's eyes. "Who is it?" Tony replied, "Jaspian." Royce pondered for a moment before asking, "Who is he? I've never heard of him. Is he some big shot?" Royce had never heard of this name before, leaving her puzzled. Tony teased, "You'll find out when we get there." The Swift family of three rushed to Jaspian's residence without stopping. After about half an hour, they arrived at a rundown bathhouse owned by Jaspian. Royce neve
Jaspian stretched and then flicked his cigarette butt, "Let's go, I'll take you there right now." Tony's joy was evident. Jaspian was efficient indeed. But before they could celebrate, things took a sudden turn. Jaspian waved his hand, and suddenly, they were surrounded. They were all apprehended by a group of burly men. Tony found himself pinned to the ground by one of Jaspian's men, unable to move, "What's going on? Jaspian, what are your men doing?" Jaspian chuckled coldly, "We're here for you. If you hadn't paid up, I would've already chopped off your arm and sent it to Lyzon." Royce and Violet had never encountered such a situation before and were panic-stricken, wishing they could disappear. The three of them were held firmly, bruises starting to form on their arms. Jaspian explained with a smirk, "It's funny how as soon as Lyzon issued his order, you came running. Blame it on your beef with the Rillers. They gave Lyzon a deadline to take down Xayne's head within a
Serena appeared at the guard post inside the villa.Ace came out of the post and called out to Serena, "Ms. Serena.""Yeah?" Serena looked slightly surprised.Ace, who was guarding the villa, greeted, "Ms. Serena, where are you going so late at night? The Supreme Commander went to the Military Headquarters for an emergency meeting. Why don't you wait for him to come back and accompany you?"However, her father and the others couldn't wait any longer.Serena hurriedly shook her head. "No, I'll be back soon."Seeing that it was late at night, Ace kindly said, "It's unsafe to go out at night. Do you want me to accompany and protect you?"Serena replied, "No, really, there's no need. I'll just walk around the villa and come back soon."Ace said, "Then, be safe and remember to come back early."Serena nodded and couldn't wait to leave in her car.As the vehicle slowly drove out of the villa, the villa's informant lowered his hat brim and said, "The target has left. Get ready quick
Tony knelt on the ground, pleading, "Stick, you've got the wrong people. We're truly unrelated. Whatever amount of money you want, I'm willing to give it. Please, have mercy and spare my family."Leopard stepped forward and kicked Tony in the chest.Tony was kicked and cried out in pain.Leopard grabbed Tony by the collar and said fiercely, "Let me tell you. Tonight, either Xayne dies, or you all die. If you want to play tricks, I'll send you straight to hell.""Move." Jaspian's men directly took Tony's family to the rooftop of Loompa bathhouse.Leopard arranged for Jaspian's men to guard the first floor while he took the people from the Prudance Nightclub and directly went to the rooftop to guard Tony and the others.Among them, Dagger mingled among Leopard's men.Dagger hid in a dark corner, tapped his earpiece, and whispered, "The target is on the way. Everyone, stay alert and prepare for action.""Sniper position one, in position.""Sniper position two, in position.""Sni
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
