Seeing Bren hesitating, Daryl pointed at the man opposite him and shouted, "Translate! Translate exactly what I say to them!"After some thought, Bren decided to translate truthfully.Instantly, the nine ambassadors of the Nine Summits on the other side were furious. They exaggeratedly and angrily rebuked, "Your leaders are too arrogant! Drakonia is a hegemon!""Don't forget, we are now representing the Nine Summits in dialogue with Drakonia. You need to watch your words and actions. If you anger us, the four hundred thousand troops will immediately breach your borders.""The Drakonia's War Department must dismiss Xayne and send him to an international military tribunal. Otherwise, we will go to war!"The nine ambassadors of the Nine Summits were furious.This was the first time they had seen Drakonia act so firmly. They would give in in the past, always asking to talk things out. Today, they were unexpectedly firm.This caught them completely off guard.Just as Bren was about
A few individuals were very anxious. Michael's expression also darkened as he said, "Issue orders to the three armies to prepare for any situation. Additionally, have the seventh, fifth, and ninth Carrier Strike Groups patrol the waters outside Drakonix within fifteen nautical miles. Warn the Drakonia's War Department that our Nine Summits Summit is not joking this time.""Yes, sir!" The blonde, blue-eyed woman immediately responded and hurried out.Meanwhile, Bren and others were in the longue on the War Department.Daryl stood in the lounge, hands behind his back, his face full of anger as he shouted, "How dare the petty Nine Summits show their claws to the mighty dragon. Throughout history, Drakonia has never feared any threats or challenges. If they want to fight, then let's fight!"With that, Daryl directly issued orders, "Lincoln! On behalf of the War Department, instruct the Five Pillars to assemble all personnel immediately. This time, we must show the determination of the
As the citizens of Drakonia saw these news reports, they instantly made their judgments.At this moment, the streets and alleys were crowded with people. A tide of protest surged through Drakonia.The people of Drakonia took to the streets, waving protest banners and shouting for the War Department and the King of the North. The craze swept through Drakonia, the ancient imperial city that had been around for thousands of years.Tens of millions of Drakonia citizens all headed toward the State Hotel, five miles away from the hotel, raising their fists while protesting.There was a huge crowd at the scene, but everyone was protesting in an orderly and reasonable manner.The whole of Drakonia was plunged into a frenzy against the hegemonism of the Nine Summits. "Nine Summits! Hegemonism! Get out of Drakonia!" "Long live Drakonia! Drakonia will never surrender and compromise!" "Nine Summits traitors, get out of Drakonia! Get out of the Drakonia!" Banners fluttered in the stree
He said, "I'm waiting, waiting for him to make a choice."Drake stepped forward and said, "His choice is also the choice of the Emperor."The Emperor laughed and said, "Order one hundred thousand Dracoknight, armed and ready to respond to emergencies at any time. If the Nine Summits don't withdraw their troops, then we'll fight!""Yes, Emperor!" Drake bowed slightly.Meanwhile, a special plane had already landed at the airport in Drakonix Military Theater.Xayne descended from the plane, boarded the military vehicle that had been waiting for him for a long time, and headed straight to the State Hotel.At this moment, the fifth meeting was already underway at the State Hotel.The two sides once again plunged into intense arguments, and it was even more intense than before. There were even signals of imminent war."Damn it! Does the Drakonia's War Department want to go to war with us?!" Michael roared, his face flushed red, obviously unable to sit still.Daryl sat calmly in his
None of the people present expected Xayne to act in such a way.He sent Michael flying.At that moment, Michael fell to the ground, clutching his stomach and groaning in pain. With the help of several assistants, he managed to stand up.Then, his face flushed red with anger. He pointed at Xayne and shouted, "You're too arrogant. How dare you assault a diplomat from another country. I will declare war, I will attack Drokonia. I demand an apology from you. Apologize to me immediately."Michael was now beyond furious.As the ambassador of the Newcroa, he had never been humiliated like this in front of everyone before.The King of the North was too insolent.He had the audacity to assault a diplomat from another country in front of everyone.This was a violation of international norms.However, Xayne remained indifferent. He had his hands in his pockets as he coldly scanned the representatives of the Nine Summits, his voice chilly, "I've said it before, if you want to fight, I'll
As Michael's words fell, Xayne walked out, grabbed his collar, and lifted him from the ground. His eyes were cold, and he said coldly, "Michael, this is Drakonia, not Newcroa. Your threats are useless to us. If the Newcroa combat division dares to act recklessly, Drakonia will not sit idly by. The Aquax Express of Drakonia has not been put into actual combat yet. If Newcroa wants to be the first, I don't mind ordering the extermination of the carrier fleet in the waters."After speaking, Xayne threw Michael out and shouted, "Take him away.""Yes."Instantly, several soldiers rushed in and took Michael and the blonde woman away.The representatives of the remaining eight countries looked at each other, trembling all over.Michael was their backbone.At this moment, Xayne turned around, stared coldly at them, and said, "Is there anything else I can help with? If not, I'll arrange for someone to escort you out of Drakonia, alright?"The eight of them glanced at each other, bowed, a
"Yes." Xayne nodded.Just as he left, the Emperor suddenly asked, "Did you see your grandfather in the Black Prison?"Xayne remained silent for a moment and shook his head. "No."Xayne didn't mention the surveillance footage. It wasn't that he didn't trust the Emperor, but he acted cautiously because it involved his grandfather and the Xavier family.The Emperor nodded and said, "Your grandfather is worthy of Drakonia. There are many secrets in the past, many of which are related to the Big Four. I cannot tell you everything now butI believe that shortly, you will know. Moreover, I have always felt that your grandfather is planning a grand scheme, and you may be the most important part of it."Xayne frowned and looked at the Emperor, asking, "A scheme?"The Emperor nodded, walked to the balcony, and looked out over the entire capital of Drakonix. He said, "Back then, your grandfather and I made a promise. If one of us became the Emperor and the other became the Grand Marshal, we
"Really? Alright then." Xayne smiled and caught up with Black Dragon.Xayne had never rejected gifts.Inside the hall, several generals in military uniforms were already seated. When they saw Black Dragon and Xayne, they stood up and respectfully saluted, calling out, "Supreme Commander."Black Dragon glanced casually around before sitting down and gesturing for Xayne to do the same."Black Dragon, what's the matter?" Xayne frowned after sitting down.Black Dragon replied, "Nothing much, my soldiers haven't seen the King of the North yet, so I brought you here for them to see."With that said, the seven or eight generals standing around all smiled foolishly and greeted, "Supreme Commander Xayne."Xayne was speechless. He greeted them and then looked at Black Dragon, asking, "Are you so bored? If there's nothing else, I'll leave. I need to go back and spend time with my wife and daughter."Upon hearing this, Black Dragon frowned and asked, "Xayne, is your only concern now your w
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
