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
Upon seeing this, Draven and Ace quickly stepped forward, but Xayne raised his hand to signal them to step back. Then, Xayne calmly sat down and looked at Edwin, who was full of anger.Edwin frowned slightly and asked, "Aren't you afraid I'll shoot?"Xayne smiled and said, "Mr. Edwin, you won't shoot."Edwin relaxed and put away his gun, asking with a smile, "Why?""Because you still need my help," Xayne said calmly, his eyes full of confidence.Edwin applauded and said, "You are truly worthy of being the King of the North. I greatly admire such courage and confidence."Xayne smiled and said, "To cut a long story short, Mr. Edwin, I need to go to the Black Prison immediately."Edwin picked up the glass on the table, took a sip of wine, and shook his head. "I'm sorry, Commander Xayne, you've come at a very bad time. Recently, there probably won't be any chance to enter the Black Prison."Upon hearing this, Xayne's face showed urgency as he asked, "Why?"Edwin snapped his finger
“Xayne, my dear nephew, you're back?" Mikael walked briskly from the door, his face full of joy as he embraced Xayne.Xayne smiled and said, "Uncle Mikael, I have something to ask for your help this time."Mikael nodded, gesturing for Xayne to sit down, and asked, "What is it? I'll help if I can."Xayne got straight to the point. "Uncle Mikael, do you know if the Leader of Pluto has the key to the Black Prison?"Upon hearing this, Mikael's face darkened, and his eyes became extremely serious as he asked, "How did you know?"Xayne replied, "Edwin told me. To enter the Black Prison now, one must obtain the key from Harris."Mikael fell silent, got up, and paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back.Finally, he stopped and looked at Xayne, saying, "Indeed, the Leader of Pluto does have a key to the Black Prison. However, obtaining that key is no easy task. I don't even have the authority to approach him. If you want to get that key, you'll need to negotiate wit
With hardly a moment of hesitation, Xayne nodded. "All right." They left the living room and arrived at an open space within the estate. Around them, several members of the underworld were gathered.Ace and Draven stood behind Xayne, whispering, "Drakon King, this underworld leader isn't so straightforward. Be cautious. I fear there might be deception in his actions."Xayne smiled faintly. "I know."On the other side, Harris stood with his arms crossed, his burly stature emanating a terrifying pressure. Compared to him, Xayne seemed like an ordinary man without any strength.In an instant, Harris made his move, his figure transforming into a black lightning bolt, disappearing from the spot. His sudden burst of power shattered the ground he stood on into numerous cracks.Before anyone could react, Harris's explosive fist hammered fiercely toward Xayne's chest. This punch possessed terrifying explosive force, akin to a meteorite impact, carrying a raging intent to kill.Harris's
On the sidelines, Draven could barely make out the duel between Xayne and Harris.Even Ace could see only vaguely of the battle. To ordinary people, it was like watching at twenty times the speed.The next second, a loud bang was heard. A figure was sent flying, leaving two long marks on the ground with its feet, then kneeling on one knee, glaring fiercely at the man opposite.‘Lost?! Harris lost?’ This was the first thought that crossed the minds of the people from Pluto at this moment. They saw Harris, with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, while Xayne stood unscathed in place.In the crowd, Mikael also gasped in disbelief. The power of Harris was undeniable to all present. But here he was, losing to Xayne.It was unimaginable just how strong Xayne was.At this moment, Harris smirked, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. He stood up from the ground and said, "Indeed worthy of the King of the North. Have you reached the Eternals?"Xayne, hands in his pock
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
