Xayne was filled with a strong intent to kill, drawing out his Ravenclaw Dagger and stabbing fiercely toward Blood Butcher.This strike was filled with a deadly aura.The tip of the Ravenclaw Dagger struck Blood Butcher's heart.It could be said that if this strike landed, Blood Butcher would surely not survive.However, in just that moment, a bullet flew straight toward Xayne, aiming for his heart.Xayne quickly dodged by turning his head, avoiding the bullet.The bullet flew straight into the air without any fuse and exploded.Had it contained poison, Xayne would have been poisoned instantly.The three Dracoguards of Dracarium shouted, "Drakon King, watch out!"Immediately, they rushed toward Xayne with a determination to die.Their goal was simple—to shield Xayne from the fragments or poison after the bullet explosion.However, after the bullet exploded, a dense gray mist spread through the jungle.Almost instantly, the mist enveloped the entire forest.At this moment,
Draluna also looked bitter as she said, "Drakon King."Xayne responded coldly, "It's not your fault. No one could have anticipated this. They had a backup plan. Coordinate with the fifty thousand soldiers immediately and sweep through Folksworth. Anyone who disobeys us or follows Blood Butcher, eliminate them without mercy."The three Dracoguards respectfully replied, "Yes, we will act accordingly. We will capture everyone and leave no room for their schemes."Xayne returned to the Folksworth Hotel, where Serena was waiting for him.As for Blood Butcher, he was barely distinguishable from a dead person now.Dozens of silver needles pierced directly into Blood Butcher's acupuncture points. This not only reversed his energy and blood flow to contain the explosive power of the forbidden drug but also sealed his acupuncture points completely.Even if the silver needles were removed, his body would be severely injured. In severe cases, he might never be able to practice kickboxing aga
Before coming, Xayne had a thousand words to say to Serena. Upon seeing her, he felt as if his throat was choked up, unable to utter a single word.Their eyes met, speaking volumes more than any sweet words could convey.It was an exchange without words.After a moment, Serena finally spoke."I'm glad you're safe." Serena jumped into Xayne's arms and hugged him tightly.Xayne gently stroked Serena's forehead. saying, "Of course. I have a surprise for you. I've secured sponsorship for Serenco."Serena's eyes crinkled into a crescent moon shape as she sweetly replied, "As long as you're safe, having you and Coco is enough for me."Xayne leaned down to kiss Serena's forehead.A blush appeared on Serena's cheeks as she looked at Xayne shyly.Xayne carried Serena to the bed in the room and closed the door with a thud.Time flew when passion filled the air.Just an hour later, Xayne received a message from Ritchie."Mr. Xayne, the press conference is ready. You and your wife can
It was no surprise that Ritchie was unaware. After all, no one had surrounded the pharmaceuticals expo center when he had prepared everything.Xayne patted Ritchie's shoulder, saying, "It's alright. I arranged for these people. They're responsible for protecting the safety of the pharmaceuticals expo center. There's no need to worry."Ritchie nodded and then welcomed Xayne and Serena inside.Under the gaze of the reporters, Ritchie escorted a young man into the pharmaceuticals expo center. The respect in Ritchie's eyes was evident.The reporters on the scene were stunned. "What's going on? Who is this young man that even Ritchie personally escorted into the pharmaceuticals expo center?"Another journalist beside him chuckled. "You don't know? Rumor has it that when he arrived in Folksworth, he bought Folksworth Hotel from Ritchie. Moreover, Xayne is likely to be Mr. White, the extremely wealthy man. He can buy the entire Folksworth without a problem. Remember, Mr. White is at the
Xayne's cold eyes scanned the guests and spoke, "You should have noticed the unusual movements at the borders of Folksworth, right? Blood Butcher, who has occupied Folksworth for nearly a decade, has escaped today and is nowhere to be found. From today onward, Folksworth will welcome a new Commander-in-Chief of the military."A reporter interjected, "You've said so much, but where's the substantial evidence?"Xayne sneered, "What if I say the new Commander-in-Chief of the Folksworth Military Headquarters is Ritchie?"The crowd was stunned.Despite his high status and influence, Ritchie had never been involved with the military headquarters. He didn’t understand how he suddenly ascended to such a position when Blood Butcher was removed.Ritchie stood beside Xayne and nudged him. "Are you sure about this? This is no joke. It will be disgraceful to Folksworth Association if I don't fulfill the role."Xayne gave Ritchie a determined smile and then clapped his hands, saying, "Bring
A reporter asked, "What can you reveal regarding General Blood Butcher's wrongdoings, Supreme Commander? Do you believe his behavior doesn't merit his position as the Commander-in-Chief?"Xayne didn't shy away from the topic and bluntly stated, "Blood Butcher's greatest offense was targeting me, a meritorious official, and attacking a soldier's family. He deserved his fate. As for his qualifications, I believe that's obvious."Another reporter queried, "Mr. Ritchie, what do you think is the reason you received the Emperor's appointment and became the Commander-in-Chief of Folksworth?"Ritchie hesitated, having no clear answer to the question.Xayne interjected, "Mr. Ritchie witnessed the rise of Folksworth and contributed significantly to its prosperity. Without him, Folksworth wouldn't be what it is today. Don't you think he deserves this position?"In truth, Ritchie wasn't qualified to be the Commander-in-Chief of Folksworth. However, influenced by Xayne's recommendation, the Em
Unlike the bustling excitement of the city, the Rodriguez residence felt as if it was shrouded in a heavy cloud, eerily quiet as if it had undergone some kind of devastation.It was not surprising that Blood Butcher had disappeared entirely, and Ritchie now succeeded the commander-in-chief of the city.Ritchie was the president of the Folksworth Association. There was no guarantee he wouldn't abuse his power to suppress the Rodriguez family, allowing the Taxon family to rise to power in the city.Moreover, Ritchie wasn't particularly friendly toward the Rodriguez family.From a certain perspective, the Taxon and the Rodriguez families were rivals.Blood Butcher's downfall was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the Rodriguez family.After all, their biggest supporter had fallen, and in a city where the situation was rapidly changing, the Rodriguez family's position was likely precarious.Mink, the head of the Rodriguez family, and the butler exchanged whispered words in the lob
It seemed that the King of the North was hiding somewhere in Folksworth, secretly watching the movements of Folksworth's business families.Mink searched his memory, trying to recall who the King of the North was.Ritchie had swiftly risen from the president of Folksworth's Association to the Military Commander of Folksworth. This could be due to the favor of the King of the North.When this thought crossed his mind, Mink immediately thought of one person, Xayne.The man who had taken control of Folksworth's largest hotel upon his arrival, the man who had caught the attention of Blood Butcher, the man whom Ritchie treated with the utmost respect."Could it be Xayne?" Mink blurted out.With a nod from Cillian, it was indeed Xayne.Mink looked at Cillian, his eyes flickering with fear and bitterness."This is it. It's all over now," Mink said lifelessly. "The moment Xayne arrived in Folksworth, he clashed with Francis. If he discovers the relationship between the Rodriguez family
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
