Chapter 1296
Author: Blanco Burn
The next day, Tim and his family were by Eric's bedside in the hospital.

Tim held the vial of medicine Tyson had given him. If he injected it into Eric's body, Eric would awaken, and the Swift family would remain his.

Then, Tony's family, including Xayne, would no longer have any power over him.

However, Tim was conflicted, hesitating. The aftermath of the medicine could be lethal to Eric. Administering it would be akin to patricide.

The internal struggle caused Tim to sweat profusely.

At that moment, Sophia noticed her father’s indecision and approached him, stretching out her hand. "Dad, if you can't do it, let me."

Tim looked at his daughter and saw coldness and determination on her face.

"Sophia, but that's your grandfather..." Tim began.

Sophia gritted her teeth, her eyes flashing with fierceness. "Dad! How can you still be hesitating? Once the old man wakes up and hands the Swift family over to us, his mission will be complete! You must be clear that the Swift fam

    "Yes, I'll prepare the car right away." Tim, overwhelmed with excitement, rushed out to prepare the car. At the same time, he called Tyson and spoke respectfully and urgently. "Mr. Tyson, I've done as you instructed! Eric has awakened, and we're heading to the Swift Group now. When will you take action?" On the other end of the line, Tyson, seated in the living room of a villa somewhere in Venzor, smiled faintly. "Mr. Tim, congratulations on making the right choice. Rest assured, you just focus on taking control of the company with Eric. My family will handle the rest." "Great! Your assurance is all I need!" Tim nodded repeatedly, then thought of something and asked, "But Mr. Tyson, what if Xayne interferes?" Tyson laughed heartily. "Tim, you’re overthinking things! Eric's awake, and under Drakonian law, if he wants to hand the company over to you, no one can challenge it or take it away from you unlawfully." "I understand," Tim replied, then hung up the phone. He then hurr

    Violet and Royce did not dare to object and immediately moved forward, kneeling beside Tony. Eric then turned to the crowd and announced, "From today onward, all matters of the Swift family will be managed by Tim! He is the chairman of the company and the future head of the Swift family! Anyone who opposes this, speak now!" The crowd exchanged glances, but no one dared to voice any objection. Eric had spoken, and no one would dare to defy him. Tim and his family of three looked excited beyond measure. Tim immediately stepped forward, bowed slightly to everyone, and said, "Everyone, from now on, we stand united." The crowd smiled in agreement. Tim then looked at the kneeling Tony and his family and taunted them mercilessly, "Brother, did you ever think you'd see this day? Do you remember how you treated us back then?" Tony frowned deeply and snorted, "Tim, just get on with it and tell me what you want." "Very simple." Tim smiled. "From today, Tony will be relieved of

    The four security guards stormed toward Serena with a menacing air. Serena's expression darkened as she demanded coldly, "What do you think you're doing?!" "What do you think?! We're going to make you kneel and apologize!" Tim shouted, waving, "Make her kneel and apologize to Eric!" "Yes!" The security guards obeyed the order and grabbed Serena's delicate arms, forcing her down onto her knees. Serena struggled fiercely, shouting, "No! I won't kneel! You have no right to make me kneel! I'm not part of the Swift family anymore! I am my own person!" Despite Serena's struggles, it was no use. Sophia approached with a cold expression and delivered a heavy slap across Serena's face, yelling, "You wretch! The Swift family is in this state because of you! Today, you will kneel whether you want to or not! Make her kneel!" Sophia grabbed Serena by her hair and yanked her head back, her beautiful face twisted in pain and defiance, tears in her eyes. Serena spat blood onto Soph

    Tim turned his gaze toward Serena, who was on the ground and signaled his assistant to bring a few documents. He spoke coldly, "Serena, don't say I'm not giving you a chance. These are company transfer documents. If you transfer all of Serenco to me, I'll let you go and allow your family to return to the Swift family records. Additionally, I'll give your family an annual dividend of 1.5 million dollars. Isn't that a good deal? You can sit back and earn money without any worries." The enticing offer caught the attention of Violet and Royce. "Serena, agree with him! You can make 1.5 million every year without lifting a finger. It's a good deal!" Violet urged. Royce chimed in, "Yes, Serena, agree with Uncle Tim. I don't want us to be cast out of the Swift family..." However, Serena responded with a scoff, "Tim, are you dreaming? Serenco is my and Xayne's hard work, and no one is taking it away from us!" Tim's expression darkened. He put the documents away and stared coldly at Se

    Tim was completely terrified by Xayne's chilling gaze. He stuttered, "You... What are you going to do? I'm your uncle! This is the Swift Group! We... we're just discussing business matters. If you dare to use force, I'll report you! You'll spend your life behind bars!""Yes, yes! Xayne, don't mess around! There are people backing our family too!" said Sophia as she was frightened. She had been quite harsh with Serena. If Xayne sought revenge, she definitely would not escape.However, in the face of their words, Xayne showed no fear. He smirked coldly and said, "I want to kill someone, and no one has ever dared to stop me! Even if it's considered using force, dealing with small-minded people like you is just retribution!"Insulting the wife of the King of the North is a capital offense. Now, you should think about how to beg for my wife's forgiveness!"With that, Xayne stepped forward, grabbed Tim's collar, and lifted him.Tim's feet were off the ground for a moment, his face tur

    The executives from other companies and the Swift family's core members all wore expressions of shock."Eric is dead?!""Xayne killed him?!""That was so sudden!"At that moment, Tony's family of three, including Serena, resting on the side, were all dumbfounded."Eric died from anger?"Xayne frowned, staring at the fallen old man. He quickly stepped forward, gripping Eric's wrist and finding no pulse."Get away! Do you still want to defile Eric's body?!" Tim suddenly pushed Xayne away, shouting, "Xayne! My Swift family will never coexist with you! You angered Eric to death today, and my family will hold you accountable!"Xayne frowned. With such a sudden turn of events, he could not continue questioning.Serena also trembled as she walked over, looking at Eric, who had died suddenly, then at Xayne. She understood when the latter shook his head slightly.At that moment, Serena's heart was also in pain.After all, it was her grandfather. Suddenly dying at this moment, as a gr

    Soon after Tyson offered his respect to the old man, he came to the backyard of the Swift residence. He calmly sat and sipped tea."This tea is not bad. It seems like you know your tea as the family patriarch," Tyson said with a smile, setting down his teacup.Tim quickly smiled and said, "Mr. Tyson, you're joking. Without Mr. Tyson's help, I wouldn't have become the head of the Swift family so easily. If you like this tea, I'll have someone bring some for you.""There's no need for that," Tyson smiled and said. Then, he got straight to the point. "I came today to discuss some matters with you.""Please, go ahead," Tim said hastily, showing great deference. He understood that without Tyson, there would be no him today. More accurately, the present Swift family was a negligible lackey of the Bullard family. However, Tim was willing because he was ambitious.Tyson smiled and said, "It's not any orders, just a few trivial matters. First, my family has decided to support the Swift f

    Sophia shouted at the top of her lungs.Tim shook his head and sat back down, his face darkening. "Although Mr. Tyson can help our Swift family rise to prominence in Venzor, I always feel it is not simple. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Mr. Tyson must want to use our family to get something."Sophia said, "Dad, why do you think like that? Whatever Mr. Tyson wants, we will do it. Being a part of the Bullard family is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. So what if we're being used?"Upon hearing Sophia's words, Tim nodded. "Yes! You're right! Even if we're being used, what does it matter? As long as the Swift family rises, nothing else matters."Meanwhile, inside the villa, Serenco was planning to withdraw from Venzor and relocate to Folksworth. After returning from the family’s villa, Serena went to the company office. Although Tony's family of three were reluctant to leave Venzor, they had no other choice now. After all, the family was now under Tim's control, and they coul

    "There are more than thirty of them?" Xayne's heart pounded. That meant there were people even stronger than Horin."They're all waiting... waiting for the Ruins of the Dragon Clan to surface. In the end, anyone who craves that treasure will lose their life to greed. That is the cycle of the world." Horin gazed into the distance with a calm expression.He had not been avoiding conflict—he had been biding his time, accumulating power. Xayne could sense it in his eyes. There was ambition there. Every move Horin made served his ultimate goal. Even forging a connection with Xayne had been a calculated step to expand his influence.Xayne was a lone warrior, with no faction backing him. From Horin's perspective, all he had to do was lend Xayne a hand, earn his gratitude, and that was enough. That was why Horin had treated him so favorably. He had even shared some of his own insights, sharpening Xayne’s mindset, strengthening his abilities. Someday, Xayne might become one of his strongest ass

    Xander sized up Fent and spoke coldly. "Fent, will you not turn back from your misguided path?"Fent struggled to his feet, his glare filled with hostility. He spat on the ground and growled, "I will never stand on the same side as Xayne! And you, mark my words—when I return from this mountain, it will be the day of your demise. Just you wait!" With that, he dragged his battered body away, limping down the mountain path without looking back. Stringer and Yeti flanked him, offering their support as he leaned on them for balance.At the Heavenly Water Sanctuary, to the east, a towering waterfall crashed down in torrents. To the west, a quiet river snaked through the valley, its current slow and steady. At the river’s heart lay a tranquil pool, its surface untouched by the world beyond.A hundred feet above the gorge, nestled into the cliffside, a cave overlooked the breathtaking scenery. The air was crisp and pure, carrying the scent of fresh earth and mountain blossoms."Senior, this p

    Fent did not dare utter a single word of protest. Clutching his chest, he trembled as he knelt before Horin."How is your teacher?" Horin turned slightly, directing his question to Yeti."It has been a hundred years since I last saw him. I do not know," Yeti replied with the utmost reverence.Horin suddenly shifted his gaze to Xayne. "The secret of the Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars… lies like the self—no thoughts, no desires, no life, no death! It does not rely on the power of the stars! The world follows the Path of Veyara, but what is the Path of Veyara? The radiance of the stars is not true light." His words were spoken softly as if he were merely muttering to himself—or perhaps offering Xayne a lesson.Xayne's heart stirred. Horin’s insight was astounding. The eight words—"No thoughts, no desires, no life, no death."—lingered in his mind. They placed Horin far beyond the comprehension of ordinary cultivators."Magnetic fields… are simply the pull of the stars. They have al

    "Do you yield?" Horin gazed at Xayne with a calm, indifferent expression.Fent and the others broke out in a cold sweat. Just a single finger—that was all it took. It proved that Horin’s power was unfathomable. Standing before him, they felt no different from mere ants. But what was even stranger was the complete absence of dominance around Horin. No oppressive force. No overwhelming presence. It was as if he, the heavens, the earth—everything—were one. His arrival, and that single finger strike, felt less like an act of man and more like the will of the universe itself.Xayne was beyond shocked. But he was not the only one. Andrea, watching the live broadcast, sat in stunned silence. He could hardly believe what he had just witnessed. Because the one who had been defeated—was Xayne.'Then what realm had this man reached? Quad-Radiant Commander? Rising Numen Commander? Or had he already ascended to Numen Commander?' The mere thought sent shivers down Andrea’s spine.The Light Order’s

    Xayne’s comprehension must have been immense—not only to counter Fent’s attack but to transform it into his own. Fent would have easily blocked this spear had he not taken that devastating palm strike.But now, his entire right side was caved in. One arm hung limply, the other completely empty. No sword, no weapon, not even a sliver of metal remained to block Xayne’s spear. It was no different from trying to catch a nuclear warhead.Yet, Fent had no choice. His retreat had already been cut off. If he turned his back, he would only meet a deadly stab from behind—a certain death sentence."If I die—then I'll drag you down with me!" Fent’s face twisted in fury. With only one thought in his mind, he lunged toward Xayne. He would deliver a lethal palm strike, even if it meant taking Xayne’s spear head-on."Master, he's going for mutual destruction!" From a distance, Esmond saw Fent shooting forward and cried out in alarm.But Xayne had already seen through him. And now, there was no turning

    Xayne appeared to be at his limit, yet in truth, he was far from it. From the Heavenly Tome, he had already mastered the Seven-Star Footwork to perfection. With the slightest lift of his feet, his positioning shifted unpredictably.Three consecutive strikes from Fent were missed completely. The sheer force of the sword energy alone shattered the nearby trees into splinters.Xayne lunged forward, spear in hand, as a formation flared to life around him. In an instant, multiple spear projections erupted outward, each infused with lethal intent, hurtling toward Fent from every angle."Not good! Fall back quickly!" Elder Stringer suddenly shouted toward Fent.But at that very moment, just as the spears were about to pierce into Fent's body, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Fent's lips. It went exactly as he had planned. From the very start, his attacks had merely been probing. Through those exchanges, Fent had already figured out that Xayne's strength was high, but his battle exp

    Just as Fent unleashed his full-force attack, far away in the Skyveria Cave Heaven within Nindragon Mountain, a young man with long hair slowly rose from a white lotus platform. He turned to the elderly figure beside him and murmured, "Fent of White Blossom Mountain?" The elderly figure was none other than Xander. Xander frowned slightly and said, "Your Excellency, in truth, the moment Killian's descendant was attacked days ago, forces from outer battlegrounds had already begun their plans. This time, they've dispatched eleven Radiant Commanders just to erase the last glimmer of hope for Drakonia. If Xayne dies, the three Dragon Hearts will be masterless, and the Ruins of Dragon Clan will never be opened again!" Xander spoke with no emotion as if merely stating an unrelated fact. Upon hearing this, Horin Tamie, the Creator of Light Order, turned his gaze toward Xayne's distant battlefield before suddenly tilting his head back and laughing. "Xander, are you truly not worried about

    Xayne let out a sudden roar, and his Scarlet Dragon Lance erupted with a dazzling radiance. The void within hundreds of meters shuddered violently, while the earth beneath them cracked open with deep fissures. At this moment, the sky seemed on the verge of being torn apart by the overwhelming force. Xayne's aura surged to its absolute peak. "Elder Stringer! Hurry! You and I must join forces to kill him! He's burning his life force, he can't last much longer! Just hold out a little longer, and he will surely perish!" Fent roared at Elder Stringer. But there was no need for Fent to say anything; Elder Stringer and Yeti could already feel it. Xayne was igniting his very soul. Elder Stringer unleashed his full strength at that instant, his sword slashing toward Xayne with killing intent. They needed just five more minutes. Xayne's aura would surely weaken, and when that moment came, it would be the end of him. "Hold out? Do you think you have a chance to kill me?" Xayne let out a c

    After the relentless battles, Xayne was clearly at his limit. Fent refused to believe that Xayne could still put up a fight. He could distinctly sense Xayne's aura weakening. As the saying goes, "Strike while the iron is hot." With a sudden tremor of his body, Fent flicked his wrist, and the sword he had tossed aside earlier shot back into his grasp. With a single thrust, his blade erupted with a dazzling silver radiance, peerless sword energy piercing straight into the sky. Fent wasn't regarded as the peak combatant among the eleven just because of his raw power. It was because he wielded a lost secret formation from White Blossom Mountain, the "Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars."Strictly speaking, this formation surpassed conventional formations. It was a forbidden secret formation. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a peerless heavenly skill. The origins of the Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars could be traced back to the first ancestor of White Blossom Mounta
