"So, Mr. Xayne, what do you want to do now?" Jim's tone carried a pleading tone. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, but soon, more cold sweat appeared.Xayne imitated his tone just now, waved the letter of consent in his hand, and said, "If you had agreed to let my cousin enroll just now, this matter would have ended there."Unfortunately, not only did you want to bribe and extort money, but you also threatened us. Your behavior is simply outrageous, bringing bad practices into the school."No wonder the news recently reported that there's a trend of bureaucratic capitalism in schools. Some people, just because they become school administrators, bully and oppress other students. It seems they've learned from people like you."Finally, Xayne slammed the table, stood up, and asked, "Mr. Jim, I just made a report, and you're already trying to bribe me. You have quite the audacity."Schools are places for education, where students are nurtured. These university students will go out
A heavy punch struck toward the wall and hit the wall. The force of this punch left a huge fist hole in the wall.Some construction workers, witnessing this scene, were trembling with fear inside the villa. The wall that was hit by Xayne's punch collapsed, and cracks began to spread in all directions like a spider web.The wall collapsed with a rumble, revealing Xayne behind it. It was only then that they realized that Xayne was the one who threw the punch.Xayne's punch pierced the wall and collapsed the entire wall."Oh my god.""Is this guy human? Is he a bear?""Weren't we here to renovate? How did he demolish this entire wall?"The workers who came to help with the renovation were all dumbfounded. At this moment, Xayne smiled apologetically at them and said, "Sorry to scare you all. I felt that this wall wasn't quite right, so I smashed it. You guys can continue."Xayne waved to them with a smile, retracting his fist.At this moment, he felt a sense of astonishment risi
Xayne was momentarily stunned. Aliyah, who was behind him, held him tightly and said, "Xayne, don't go. Can you stay with me for a while?"Without any hesitation, Xayne turned around and pushed Aliyah away, scowling. He said, "Aliyah! You're out of your mind. It's impossible between us. My heart belongs only to Serena. There's no room for any other woman. Rest well. I'm leaving."With that, Xayne turned around, left the room, and quickly walked out of the hotel.In the room, Aliyah stood still, a trace of sadness flashing in her eyes. However, she quickly sighed and said, "Xayne, I will win you over. One failure means nothing to me. I refuse to believe that, with my charm, I can't make you like me."At the same time, Aliyah felt a small sense of guilt toward Serena. However, she couldn't restrain her feelings for Xayne. She hadn't had much experience in love, so she was completely infatuated.After today's events at school, she couldn't hide her love and admiration for Xayne.Mea
Even now, in Folksworth's business circle, rumors were circulating about Serena Group. The big shots were curious how this newly established Serena Group managed to establish itself so quickly in Folksworth. Although there will be a female CEO next year, there were rumors that there was a big boss behind Serena Group with an extraordinary background. Of course, such rapid development aroused envy and jealousy among their peers in Folksworth.At this moment, there were already many reporters outside the door of Serena Group, and many onlookers were taking out their phones and various devices to film and post videos online. A tall boss in a black suit, followed by a group of bodyguards, aggressively arrived at the entrance of Serena Group. Behind him were several black cars, each with many people inside. This man was Ezra Harlow, the CEO of Harlow Group from Folksworth. He came today because Serena Group had snatched several big deals from him that were worth tens of millions. He
Just then, the soldiers from the Northern Plains made their move. They confronted Ezra's bodyguards and quickly subdued them, almost in a one-sided manner. These were the reserve forces of the Northern Plains, and although they hadn't experienced much warfare, the killing intent they exuded was the result of years of rigorous training. Their daily training regimen was the most orthodox military training of Northern Plains, not only focusing on physical endurance but also on attacking prowess and the ability to strike lethally with one blow. Their bodies, honed through rigorous training, were far beyond what these bodyguards could compare to.The situation escalated rapidly, and soon, all of Harlow Group's bodyguards were lying on the ground, forcibly thrown out of the company. Ezra stared in astonishment at the scene before him. By the time he reacted, it was already a complete defeat. The Northern Plains soldiers stood unscathed in front of Ezra. Their identity was now the secu
He now had the strength to storm into Serena Group and pull Xayne out for a beating. However, he was afraid that his strength would be too terrifying, and Xayne wouldn't dare to come out to fight him. He wanted Ezra to invite more media and reporters so that Xayne would be beaten down in front of everyone, leading to the destruction of Serena Group by his hands.Ezra frowned slightly and asked, "Mr. Wharton, it's not that I don't trust you, but what grudge do you have with the boss behind Serena Group?""Grudge? It's because of him that the Drakonia's combat division arrested my elder brother, Michael. So, I came to the Drakonia, inquiring everywhere about him, and finally found out that he was in Folksworth. He even opened a company," Wharton said coldly, his eyes filled with fury.If it weren't for that guy, his elder brother, Michael, wouldn't have been arrested by the Drakonia's military.Ezra understood what he meant and couldn't help but burst into laughter."I see, so we
After saying this, Wharton swaggered out of the company.A group of soldiers got up, wanting to pursue."Don't chase him. Send all the injured to the hospital first," an instructor ordered, and the others immediately began to take action.When Xayne arrived at the scene, the instructor came to him and saluted.This instructor was a reserve soldier from the Northern Plains, and one of the instructors was named Hans."In this attack, our side suffered a total of seventy-six casualties, with sixty-five seriously injured. All the people from Folksworth Traditional Medicine Group were also seriously injured, but they are no longer in life-threatening danger," Hans quickly reported, knowing what information Xayne wanted."The damage to Folksworth Traditional Medicine Group must be compensated several times over, and arrangements must be made for the other injured members. Find out the details of the other party, and we must not let them get away." Xayne clenched his fists.No one ha
After leaving these words behind, Xayne led his men out of the Harlow Group."Accept the challenge?" Ezra looked at Xayne's back in disbelief for a moment but soon laughed again. "Are you not afraid of death that you dare challenge the boxing champion?"Ezra shook his head and burst into laughter.The next day, Ezra contacted the media reporters again for coverage.Soon, news of the showdown between the Newcroa's boxing champion and the Serena Group's hidden boss appeared in the headlines.The people of Folksworth were extremely surprised because no one had expected the hidden boss of Serena Group to step onto the stage to confront Wharton."Is the boss of Serena Group crazy? Why would he accept such a strange challenge?""The other party is the boxing champion from Newcroa. It's said that he has won national championships for several years, and he has even killed someone in the ring. Just from their physical appearance, you can see the difference between the two. It's overestim
"Zoro, I'm sure you've heard the rumors by now. The emperor is making moves, troop deployments, shifts in strategy, it's all happening right here in Drakonix. You know what that means just as well as I do. If there's any way to stop the duel tomorrow, I'm here to offer you some advice: Don't hurt the harmony between the Eastin family and the emperor," Yves said, his tone sharp with urgency.Zoro let out a dry, mocking laugh. "If I'm hearing you right, Yves, you're here to plead for Xayne, huh? Funny. Where were you when Xayne killed a member of my family? Flamey's body wasn't even cold before he'd moved on to his next target. And now, you expect me to show mercy? "It's too late, Yves. Some arrows, once drawn, can't be put back in the quiver. So, save your breath. This conversation is over! Please leave!" Zoro's face was like stone, cold and unmoving. Any trace of patience or courtesy had vanished. It was clear he had no intention of giving Yves an inch.Everyone knew the emperor ha
Chad's sharp, hawk-like eyes suddenly flared with intensity, his cloudy gaze cutting through the air like twin beams of light."Elder Chad, earlier, you mentioned something about 'no borders in kickboxing arts.' I'm afraid I'm not following. Could you explain what you meant?" Lyuben stepped forward, a mix of curiosity and concern etched on his face.Lyuben's words hung in the air. His confusion wasn't surprising. Over the years, White Blossom Mountain's dealings had grown more secretive, and any talks with external forces, like the Light Order, were always behind closed doors. Lyuben's mind, however, was focused elsewhere, on the future of the Eastin family and his ambitions.To him, his family's legacy and his rise in power mattered far more than any grand philosophy. As someone raised within the closed walls of White Blossom Mountain's teachings, even his feelings toward his parents were tepid at best.Chad's voice came slow but firm, like the steady toll of a great bell. "There
Meanwhile, at the Eastin family's estate, Zoro and his grandson, Lyuben, stood on either side of an elderly man.Seated across from the elderly man were none other than Emin and a middle-aged man dressed in a sleek black suit. The man was none other than the Death God of Fusion, a figure as infamous as he was mysterious, second only to Kenichi from Fusion.It was said that decades ago, he had already become Radiant Commander and reached a height that the world had looked up to."Emin, the agreement between us, or rather, the agreement between White Blossom Mountain and Light Order, it's time we discussed its fulfillment, don't you think?" the elderly man began, his voice low and deliberate.This elderly man was Chad Moet, the liaison elder for White Blossom Mountain's dealings with the secular world. It was he who orchestrated the clandestine pact between White Blossom Mountain and the Light Order."Elder Chad, the Light Order has always kept its promises. The benefits promised to
The two guards rushed out of the Emperor's Pavillion with urgent speed."Your Majesty, isn't all this a bit excessive?" Elder Waze stepped forward, his voice low but steady with concern."Excessive?" The emperor's eyes darkened, his voice icy. "Do you think Drakonia is afraid of two Radiant Commanders? Whether it's the Eastin family or Lyuben, none of them have the right to collude with foreign enemies and threaten me!"His voice boomed, filling the room with a commanding presence. "Drakonia is a powerful country. We are not cowed by outside forces, nor do we bend to internal betrayal. If they dare to scheme like this, they'd better be ready to face complete annihilation. When it comes to matters of national integrity, I will not compromise. Leave now!"Yves and the elders exchanged glances, caught off guard by the emperor's unyielding stance. With nothing more to say, they quietly exited the room.Meanwhile, in the estate on the outskirts of Drakonix's west district, Lyuben recli
The tension in the hall was palpable. Suddenly, the door swung open, and a young agent from the Black Ice Platform rushed in. "Chief! We have a situation!"He handed a report to Yves. His eyes scanned the document, and in an instant, his face hardened."What happened?" Elder Waze asked, stepping forward, his gaze locked on Yves's expression."Emin has boarded a flight to Drakonix. And Death God of Fusion was seen boarding a flight to Drakonix an hour ago. Emin is one of the Six Elysium Lords from the Light Order. As for Death God of Fusion, his background is more complicated. Two of them are flying in at the same time? You think they're just here to watch the fight?" Yves explained.Yves's gaze was fixed on the ground as he paced back and forth, the weight of the situation pressing on his shoulders. His fingers tapped the edge of the report, his mind running a mile a minute. Finally, he stopped and looked up, his eyes filled with determination. "This is too big to keep in-house. I'
Even after uttering those threatening words, there wasn't the slightest trace of fear on his face."Mr. Shinoto, are you threatening us?" Yves's eyes narrowed with cold intent."Threatening?" Shinoto gave Yves a once-over and said, "Boy, if I wanted to take your life, it would be as easy as slaughtering a chicken or a dog. Do you think I need to threaten you? You people have no idea how powerful he is. But I'll say this, none of you, not even Xayne, stand a chance against him. That's why I'm advising you, Wyncock, and Drakonia's Court, to choose your side carefully. "If you pick the wrong one, you'll regret it when it's too late! As for those small figures in Eukrania, I won't comment on them, but I'm sure you're well aware of their schemes. When the time comes to deal with them, it'll be thanks to Lyuben. And as for your so-called hero, Xayne, he's simply not on the same level!" Shinoto's words caused a shift in the atmosphere, and everyone present wore grim expressions."Mr. Shi
It didn't take long before an old man was brought into the main hall. This was none other than the old man who'd been seen at Lyuben's side.The moment he appeared, everyone frowned.Elder Waze was the first to rise, ready to speak, but Yves stood before him. "Sir, please, have a seat," Yves said politely.Unlike the humble demeanor he had shown at Lyuben's side, the old man's presence here was commanding. He carried himself with an air of authority, unbothered by the watchful eyes of Elder Waze and the others."Mr. Shinoto," Elder Waze said, bowing slightly in respect.The other elders followed suit, each offering their polite greetings. Yves's gaze lingered on the old man, studying him carefully. His weathered face and calm bearing hinted at someone with significant experience and status.'If Elder Waze is giving him this level of respect, then this man's identity must be anything but ordinary,' Yves thought to himself."It's heartwarming to see that my old friends haven't for
Meanwhile, Fusion's long-hidden Radiant Commander Kenichi Miyamoto announced he would arrive in Drakonix by noon tomorrow to witness the battle in person.From Eukrania, a reclusive expert from the Roland family also declared they would travel to Drakonia to see the epic clash.The world was in an uproar. It had been a century since a Radiant Commander had appeared. This truly was a golden era. At the same time, Yves's face grew darker upon hearing the news. It seemed the situation wasn't as simple as it appeared. He was thinking of what exactly were the Big Four plotting."How many more tricks does the Eastin family have up their sleeve?" Yves slammed the table with force."Report. The Elder Waze seeks an audience." A young officer from Black Ice Platform approached Yves and quietly reported.Yves couldn't help but think about the reason Elder Waze sought him out at this time.His eyes flickered with thought before he quickly responded, "Let him in!"It wasn't long before Elder
Xayne's eyes lingered on Lyuben's departing figure, his gaze steady and thoughtful. This man was different. From Lyuben's posture, his calm demeanor, and his absolute confidence, it was clear that this wasn't the arrogance of fools who relied on borrowed power. It was a quiet, unshakable self-assurance born from true strength. This was not a man who needed to flaunt his power to prove himself. It was a stark contrast to the enemies Xayne had faced before, those men who boasted endlessly but crumbled the moment the tides turned.This was the difference between a disciple of the Five Great Mountains and an ordinary kickboxing artist. Xayne had heard of the terrifying reputation of the Five Great Mountains many times before. Even figures as formidable as Esmond spoke of them with reverence and caution."To be honest, White Blossom Mountain ranks only in the middle among the Five Great Mountains. But Lyuben feels different. He's dangerous. It's not just his cultivation, even the way he
