At this moment, the chief elder of the Bullard family stood up, gazing at the sky outside with benevolent eyes, standing with his hands behind his back, and said, "What action is the Emperor taking?" Behind him, the third elder frowned as he said, "According to the reports from the Emperor's spies, the Emperor has opened all the passes from Northern Plains to Drakonia and allowed a hundred thousand troops to pass through. In addition, the four elders of the Drakonian council are also very angry and have personally gone to the Emperor's Pavilion." Upon hearing this, the chief elder of the Bullard family frowned and said coldly, "It seems that the Emperor is preparing to take action." Upon hearing this, the other four elders tensed up as they asked, "Will the Emperor really wield his sword against our Bullard family just for Xayne?" The chief elder shook his head, his gaze deep and obscure, as he said, "It's unclear. Although this Emperor may not be as overbearing as the fourth E
Not long after, the four elders left the Emperor's Pavilion. The Emperor stood on the ninth floor, looking down at the departing figures, and asked Drake behind him, "Mr. Drake, do you think we will succeed this time?" Drake, rarely silent, spoke after a long while, "The game has just begun, and who will win or lose remains unknown. But one thing I can be sure of is that this time, the Bullard family will surely suffer a severe blow!" "Oh? Why are you so confident, Mr. Drake?" The Emperor turned around, looking at Drake with profound eyes. Drake smiled and said, "Because I believe in Xayne. I believe this kid can bring us some unexpected miracles." "Hahaha! " Upon hearing this, the Emperor laughed heartily and said, "Indeed, Drake, your thoughts are exactly the same as mine!" With that, the Emperor turned around, gazing at the entire Drakonia, and said, "Xayne has indeed grown very fast, always bringing us many miracles. He is like a variable in the dark. I hope this time
Upon hearing this, Xayne couldn't help but gasp. So, these were the legendary Dracoknights, the most mysterious and terrifying force in Drakonia. The elite of the three thousand Dracoknights were said to have once swept through ten countries. They slaughtered two hundred thousand enemy soldiers without a single casualty. Soon, Drake led Xayne to the entrance of the underground palace. On both sides of the palace gate stood a squad of sixteen Dracoknights. The chilling aura emanating from them would be unbearable for an ordinary person. Taking out the key, he opened the heavy wooden door of the underground palace. Xayne finally saw the full view of the underground palace. It was like a sacrificial altar. On the high platform, a cold sword shimmering with golden light stood silently in the groove. Approaching to take a closer look, Xayne saw that this Stalingrad Blade was entirely golden, as if it was made of gold. Moreover, nine golden dragons were carved on the blad
At dusk, the hundred thousand Dragonbreakers Legion stationed outside the gates of Drakonix Northadane District mobilized upon hearing the order.A hundred thousand Dragonbreakers Legion from Northern Plains stood in place with a black-gold dragon banner that covered the sky.At a glance, all one could see was a sea of dark green crowds covering the entire land, with a strong military presence.The soaring battle aura and killing intent filled the air. No one dared to approach easily.These hundred thousand Dragonbreakers Legion were all fully armed, with loaded guns and solemn faces.At this moment, a figure ascended the steps and stepped onto the command platform on the high tower of the city gate.Xayne was dressed in a green-gold dragon battle robe with the golden Eternal Commander national emblem on his shoulders and a military cap with a circle of gold olives on both sides of the brim that guarded the central golden star.At this moment, Xayne overlooked the hundred thousa
Every person exuded the overwhelming aura of a supreme commander.Meanwhile, inside the Bullard Family villa, an emergency meeting was convened.The five elders sat at the head of the table, their faces extremely ugly and gloomy.Down the hall, a second-tier figure of the Bullard Family respectfully said, "Elders, we have just received secret intelligence. A hundred thousand Dragonbreakers Legion is marching toward Mount Cappe. The killing intent is overwhelming. It seems that this time, Xayne is determined to take action. How should we deal with this?"Upon hearing this, the people of the Bullard Family in the hall began to whisper and discuss.Some had faces full of mockery, sneering. "Hehe. Just a mere King of Northern Plains, what can a hundred thousand troops do? Does he dare to attack the Bullard Family at Mount Cappe?""That's right. He's just a remnant of the Xavier family. Back then, wasn't the Xavier family wiped out by the big four working together? Now, I don't think
"Continue to scout," the third elder said coldly, his expression becoming increasingly serious.They were too fast. The Dragonbreakers Legion were marching at high speed.Next, soldiers rushed in one after another, each one urgently reporting.Each marching report made the members of the Bullard Family in the hall uneasy, their faces growing increasingly serious."The Dragonbreakers Legion of Northern Plains is ten miles from Mount Cappe.""Five miles.""Three miles.""The Dragonbreakers Legion of Northern Plains is one mile away from Mount Cappe. They have stopped in place."The third elder's expression darkened as he stared at the soldier before him, anxiously asking, "Is the information accurate?"The soldier replied earnestly, Sir, the information is accurate. The hundred thousand troops of Northern Plains are one mile away from Mount Cappe and have stopped in place.""Dismissed."After hearing this, the third elder waved his hand and turned around, pacing back and forth
Draven snapped the neck of the Grand Master Warrior in front of him, then threw him down the mountain.At this moment, they had reached the center of the nine hundred and ninety-nine steps.Here, Xayne's pace slowed down.As he took another step upward, six figures suddenly appeared above Xayne and the others, only ten steps away from them.These six figures exuded a terrifying aura of killing intent and were full of fierce momentum.Xayne frowned slightly and whispered, "Legend Warriors?"Draven and the others also frowned.They had only reached halfway up the steps and had already encountered the first wave of Legend Warriors.Judging from their aura, they should be Legend Warriors.The six Legend Warriors at this moment also revealed their fierce killing intent, shouting angrily, "King of the North, this is the Bullard family villa. Please return immediately. We won't be polite if you take one more step forward."At the words, a faint cold smile appeared as Xayne said, "Oh
If it were in the past, any of the Dracoguards could have tangled with these three for several hours.Today, they didn't have time to waste. They had to fight quickly and decisively, and they couldn't delay the Drakon King's pace. So, they had to fight one against one.In the blink of an eye, the three Legend Warriors knelt on the steps, flipped over, and fell into the blood pool.Just like that, the three Legend Warriors died.It was terrifying.If this were known to the outside world, it would cause a huge uproar.Legend Warriors were rare. Such existences were enough to single-handedly overturn tens of thousands of troops. Here, they could only become bloody corpses.Xayne, from beginning to end, never made a move. He calmly walked over the bodies of the three Legend Warriors and continued to walk up.Finally, after crossing the nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, Xayne and the Dracoguards stood on the vast Bullard family villa.Before them was an open area similar to a ma
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
