Oliver, with a tearful voice, bowed to Xayne. He had lost the position he had worked for half his life due to his arrogance, completely ruining his chance of becoming the general manager and even losing his job at the World Trade Center. Oliver was in a complete panic. He regretted offending Xayne and regretted coming to the surveillance room today. Without even sparing him a glance, Xayne left. These bunch of clowns weren't even worth his consideration. After leaving the World Trade Center, Xayne got into his car. Then, his phone rang. Xayne picked up the phone and asked, "Have you located the kidnappers' whereabouts?" A sinister voice came from the other end of the phone. "Commander Xayne, it's been a long time." Hearing the processed voice, Xayne cautiously asked, "Who is this?" "Hehe, Blood Butcher asked me to greet you on his behalf." Upon hearing the name "Blood Butcher," Xayne became extremely angry and said in a deep voice, "Did you kidnap Serena? Remember, i
Xayne relaxed himself. Then, he began to listen carefully to the surrounding movements. Tick, tick, tick! There was a sound of a ticking hand moving in Coco's school bag. Xayne took Coco's school bag, opened it, and looked inside. A time bomb was quietly placed in Coco's school bag. The bomb wasn't large, but if Coco continued to carry the school bag, she definitely wouldn't survive the explosion. The hand rapidly rotated, indicating there were only thirty seconds left. Xayne smiled at Coco. "Coco, Daddy will perform a magic trick for you, okay?" Coco clapped her hands. "Okay, I love magic tricks!" Xayne said directly, "Watch closely. I'll make fireworks come out of your school bag." Xayne threw the school bag into the sky. In an instant, a pink school bag exploded in the air like a pink firework. Coco laughed and clapped her hands in place, looking childish. At this moment, a call came in. Xayne looked at the caller ID and saw that it was from Harold. Xayne hur
However, Vince was not afraid. He took a button from his pocket and extended his hand toward Xayne. He said, "This button is linked to the timed bomb on the pillar. As long as I press it, after a five-minute countdown, boom! The explosion will not only turn Serena into pieces, but this dilapidated building will also become ruins in the explosion." Xayne looked toward Serena, his eyes filled with concern and worry. Serena was tied to a large pillar with iron chains. Just above Serena's head was a huge timed bomb. This bomb was several times larger than the one in Coco's school bag, and naturally, its power was several times greater. Vince laughed coldly. "Don't even think about disarming the bomb. As long as you touch it lightly, the bomb will explode, and the entire building will become a ruin." Xayne stopped in his tracks, his voice cold, "If you dare to press it, I will take your head!" Vince grinned evilly and pressed the button forcefully. The pointer on the timed bom
Serena saw Vince rushing out and shouted, "Xayne, be careful! Behind you!" Vince's punch gathered all his strength. Under the force of his fist, the air was slowly tearing apart. Xayne roared, "You're asking for it!" Then, he turned around and directly threw a punch, hitting Vince's fist. Boom! Their fists collided, and Vince flew backward. Vince spit out a mouthful of blood, and his bright eyes instantly dimmed. He had lost. Vince fought his whole life but was still no match for the Supreme Commander of the Northern Plains. From an unknown soldier, Vince climbed up to become Blood Butcher's first deputy, becoming Blood Butcher's right-hand man. In Folksworth, he was like a king above all. However, the young Supreme Commander of the Northern Plains was the number one Celestial Dracarium Commander in Drakonia. His status and achievements were outstanding, even surpassing his own commander. Apart from envy, Vince only felt jealousy and hatred. Vince also yearned to
After a deafening roar, a mushroom cloud rose directly into the sky, blooming with color.A half-finished building in the Rainflower District instantly turned into a black ruin with the huge explosion.Xayne jumped down from the third floor of the unfinished building, holding Serena in his arms. The sound of the explosion rang directly in Serena's ears. She was held tightly by Xayne and was not harmed in the slightest.As the two descended, Xayne used his back to shield her from the bomb's impact.As they approached the ground, Xayne made a 180-degree turn while holding Serena, becoming a human cushion to absorb the impact of the fall for her.Xayne grunted, holding Serena tightly, asking, "Serena, are you okay?"Looking terrified, Serena was lying in Xayne's arms and said, "I'm fine. Honey, are you okay?"Xayne shook his head, indicating he was fine.At this moment, Harold led a group of guards to surround the half-finished building.Harold trotted over, bowing to Xayne. "Mr
Serena specially prepared two rooms for Tony's family, one for Tony and Violet, and the other for Royce.Royce had quite the temper. He demanded to have two maids assigned to him. Otherwise, he claimed he wouldn't be able to sleep at all.Xayne used a physical hypnosis technique on Royce by hitting Royce directly between the eyebrows.Before Royce could react, he snorted coldly and passed out on the bed.Then, it was a night of silence.Meanwhile, at Xanwood International Airport, a crowd of people dressed in the Xanwood Bureau of Law Enforcement uniforms surrounded the area. Among them was Lyzon, who had boarded a plane to Xanwood under Xayne's arrangement.Harold personally arranged Lyzon's private plane from Venzor to Xanwood yesterday afternoon.To ensure Lyzon wouldn't escape halfway, Harold directly notified Dominic, the chief prosecutor of the Xanwood Bureau of Law Enforcement, to pick him up at a specific time.On the plane was only one passenger, Lyzon.There was also
The Xanwood Bureau of Law Enforcement guards took down Lyzon. He dropped to his knees, tears streaming down his face as he said, "Sir, please believe me. It's not my fault. It's all because of Xayne. He directly blew Mr. Jason's head off with a single shot. I wanted to fight with Xayne, but I couldn't do anything. I was outnumbered. Without Mr. Jason, without our backbone, the Riller family men were scattered, allowing Harold to capture them all."Dominic's mind echoed with Xayne's name and frowned. "Are you saying Xayne killed Mr. Jason?"Lyzon nodded. "Yes. It's him. Everything was fine. Mr. Jason had already rescued Mr. Mac, but when Xayne arrived, everything changed. Even Mr. Jason couldn't match Xayne. Chief Harold follows Xayne's orders, completely disregarding the Riller family."Dominic clenched his hand tightly, his fingernails digging into his flesh, slowly oozing blood.'Xayne, your relationship with the Riller family is irreconcilable.'Then, Dominic stared at Lyzon a
The two of them continued driving on the highway for a few hours before reaching Tility.The Loompa family was once filled with prestigious East Yoskea Military Theater generals. Their military influence and prestige in South Rivera Province was considerable.The old general of the Loompa family had retired for many years, living in seclusion in Tility and enjoying his old age.Now, the military power of the Loompa family was in the hands of Sherman. As the successor to the Great General Apollo Loompa's mantle, Sherman was now soaring in the military, even becoming a newly promoted Major General.Soon, the two arrived at the gate of the Loompa residence.Dominic adjusted his attire and stood quietly at the gate of the Loompa residence.Gresham knocked on the vermilion gate of the Loompa residence and loudly said, "General Apollo, we are representatives from the Riller family in Xanwood. Please allow us to meet you, General."The steward opened the gate of the Loompa residence fo
Deanana glanced at Xayne as she coyly smiled. "Mr. Xayne, no need to be so reserved with me. After all, I used to be one of your admirers. I always thought you were an extraordinary man."Although it seems I misjudged you, still, you were a part of my girlish dreams. Don't let your current misfortunes bother you too much. People say a fallen phoenix is worse than a chicken, and while that's true, I happen to have a kind heart."Her words, though laced with laughter, were razor-sharp. Each one was a jab meant to cut deep.Her meaning was clear: "You might have been a shining star once, but now, you're nothing in my eyes—not even worth a second glance." Helping Xayne get his luggage was just an act, nothing more."Mr. Xayne, do you remember? Just a few years ago, at this very airport, you were returning from... oh yes, the Seven Nations Summit!"You know, I waited at the airport entrance for over four hours that morning just to get your autograph. But sadly, your security team didn'
"Heh, Miss Deanana, you also know that's all in the past. Even if he were still the King of the North, we live in peaceful times now. No one gets special privileges, right?" Dean chimed in smoothly, his tone laced with mockery."Dean! Do you even realize what you're doing?!" Aava could not hold back any longer, her eyes glaring fiercely as she clenched her fists in anger."Of course, I know what I'm doing, and I know neither of you are ordinary people. Thinking about hitting me? Don't forget, there are plenty of reporters over there. If you dare lay a hand on me, I'll make sure Xayne's reputation is ruined," Dean replied smugly.Dean's sneer widened into a wicked grin, the confidence radiating from him undeniable."Manager Dean, how about this? To be honest, I used to admire Mr. Xayne. Why don't you do me a favor and return his belongings? It would be a great gesture," Deanana interjected with a gentle smile.Upon hearing this, Aava bristled with fury. She knew Deanana was up to s
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
