Lyzon said, "It's the Riller family from Xanwood. They said that if I didn't take your head before the arrival of the second heir of the Riller family, I would lose everything. I was forced to do it. I had no choice but to make a move against you, Mr. Xayne."Xayne keenly sensed that Dagger and the three snipers hidden in the shadows were not something Lyzon could have arranged. They seemed more like deeply embedded spies.Xayne asked, "What about the snipers arranged at the Loompa bathhouse?"Lyzon looked slightly puzzled and then said, "I don't know about that. I only arranged for Leopard to go to the Loompa bathhouse to take you down. I didn't arrange any snipers. Maybe it was arranged by Vince."Xayne asked, "Vince?"Lyzon nodded and said, "He said he was also here to assassinate you. He was just drinking with me here, and then he disappeared after going to the bathroom."Xayne contemplated for a moment and said, "Chief Harold, I leave this place to you. Handle it impartially
Frankie seemed extremely relaxed as if he wanted to blend in with the crowd, but nothing had happened.He moved his lips slightly, seemingly indicating that he had something to tell Xayne.Although Frankie tried his best to avoid revealing his unusualness, he couldn't escape Xayne's keen eyes.Xayne sensed that Frankie's hands seemed to be hiding something.Approaching him, Xayne delivered a swift punch to Frankie's face.Frankie was caught off guard and couldn't react in time. He was sent flying by Xayne's punch.As he got up, a trickle of blood flowed from his nose.Xayne grabbed Frankie's arm and took the silver needle from his hand, then plunged it into Frankie's skin.Frankie screamed as his arm instantly lost strength.The sequence of actions was smooth and fluid, leaving Frankie with no chance to resist.Xayne looked at Frankie's arm, now turning black, and said slowly, "Black Scorpion Poison Needle. Without an antidote within ten minutes, the poison will seep into your
Serena felt a slight tingling in her nose and chuckled softly. Xayne turned off the lights and fell into a deep sleep while holding Serena tightly. The next day, dawn broke. The news of the closure of the Prudance Nightclub, dozens of casinos and hotels, and the arrest of Lyzon spread quickly through the streets and alleys of Venzor. People marveled at the iron-blooded methods of those who closed the Prudance Nightclub. It was well known in Venzor that the Prudance Nightclub belonged to Lyzon. Moreover, Lyzon had some ties with the Riller family in Xanwood. At this moment, the heir of the Riller family was about to arrive in Venzor. With Lyzon, an ally of the Riller family, directly taken down, it was undoubtedly akin to a slap in the face for the Riller family.Jason, the second son of the Riller family, was on the plane, sipping coffee. His tight-fitting clothes outlined the muscles of his body, paired with his sharp gaze that displayed an unparalleled aura. One of
Jason's plane landed at Venzor International Airport precisely at two in the afternoon. However, people had been trickling into Venzor International Airport since eight in the morning. Among them were wealthy businessmen from Venzor and members of its underground forces. Lyzon had been caught in Harold's net and was now imprisoned in the Venzor Law Enforcement Bureau. The Riller family's largest informant in Venzor had also been removed. For the Riller family, it was undoubtedly a devastating blow. This group of people had a hidden agenda under the guise of picking up someone. They actually wanted to learn everything about Lyzon's situation in Venzor. When Jason got off the plane, a crowd of people swarmed around him. An elderly white-haired servant approached Jason, saying, "Mr. Jason, you've finally arrived. We've been waiting for your arrival for a long time. Our master would like to invite you to the Gyllenhill residence for a chat. Please do us the honor!" "Mr. Jason
Tony, with dark circles under his eyes, shook his head to clear his mind. Last night, he had experienced a life-and-death situation at the Loompa bathhouse, barely escaping with his life. The fear of impending death lingered with Tony. Whenever he fell asleep, he would be plagued by nightmares of being killed, causing him to stay awake all night. Just as he had fallen asleep, a few servants abruptly dragged him into the Swift residence's hall. Upon hearing Tim's reprimand, Tony also became angry. "I was on the brink of death last night, and you still accuse me of not being diligent enough. Let me tell you, Tim, this Swift family also has my share. If you want to drive me away, fine. Just hand over half of the Swift family's assets to me. I'll leave the Swift family immediately with my wife and son." Upon hearing this, Tim retorted, "Are you dreaming? The one in charge of this Swift family now is me. You can only slink away from the Swift family in disgrace with just one word fr
Tim's heart pounded frantically. He shouted anxiously, "You've got it all wrong!" "Only ten seconds left," Ken said coldly. Tim looked helpless and hurriedly said, "Please, you have to believe me! Xayne really isn't here!" Soon, the final ten seconds passed. Ken waved and loudly commanded, "Search the place! Find Xayne and execute him on the spot." In an instant, his subordinates rushed into the Swift residence, and the servants of the Swift family shrank back, too scared to intervene. "Riller family, you're asking for trouble!" Suddenly, a furious voice rang out from behind the crowd. Everyone turned to look and saw Xayne approaching, exuding a chilling aura. Beside him was Serena, carrying supplies and coming to see her father. After all, Tony and his family had nearly met their demise last night, so it was only right for Serena to visit. Although she had cut ties with the Swift family, it was mainly directed at Tim and the others. For her father's sake, Serena st
He tried to prop himself up with his hands, but they were completely powerless. After trying several times to get up and failing, Ken realized he had no strength left. Xayne stepped on Ken's back and asked coldly, "Who sent you?" Ken muttered, "It was the second son of the Riller family, Jason Riller. He's already arrived in Venzor and is heading to the Venzor Law Enforcement Bureau. He plans to use the Riller family's heirloom to capture Harold alive." Xayne didn't know of any heirloom that could capture Harold. Xayne was puzzled. "What is it?" Ken replied without hesitation, "I really don't know. It's said to belong to several bigshots from the military region." Xayne kicked Ken to the corner of the wall, and Ken groaned before passing out completely. Violet and Royce heard the commotion at the Swift residence's gate and rushed out quickly. Vivian and Sophia followed closely behind. Everyone from the Swift family had gathered at the gate in no time. Tim looked at th
Royce looked astonished. "Dad, are you crazy? If I apologize to him, how can I continue to stay in Venzor?" Tony's tone was unquestionable. "Kneel down, apologize, or you can no longer call me your father." Royce knelt and bowed his head to Xayne. "Xayne, I apologize for my behavior just now. I shouldn't have spoken up. Please forgive me!" Serena pulled Xayne's sleeve and said, "Xayne, why don't you let my family stay at our villa?" Xayne nodded. Serena happily ran to Tony and comforted him, "Dad, come with us to the villa. The villa is big enough. Even with a few more people, it's no problem." Tony smiled and nodded. Tony approached Xayne and whispered, "Xayne, can you use your connections to help the Swift family through this difficult time? After all, no one will dare to cooperate with the Swift family due to the influence of the Riller family in Xanwood." Xayne nodded, willing to lend a hand. Xayne took out his phone and called Chuck. "Help me find a batch of supp
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
