Xayne held onto Coco as he engaged the three guards. He delivered three punches and two kicks that sent them crashing into a nearby wall. The crowd gasped while Stephanie froze in place.

Then she revealed a nasty expression as she yelled, “How dare you be so ignorant?! Don’t you know who I am? I’m Stephanie Curtin, and I have eight million followers across the internet. Offending me means offending my fans.

“You should understand the consequences of your actions. I command you to step aside immediately, or my fans will cancel you. If something happens, you’ll only have yourself to blame.”

Stephanie’s words were always harsh, causing several individuals who exposed her online to succumb to her and her fans’ criticism. Those individuals even died by jumping from buildings or drowning themselves.

Online exposure was unique to this era that needed immediate regulation. Otherwise, Stephanie’s hurtful words could become a horrifying reality.

Meanwhile, her enraged and emotional fans whi

    Soon after, a group of people rushed out of the elevator led by the mall’s general manager. They felt uneasy when they saw the congested walkway."What's going on? Why is everyone stuck here?"The general manager sprinted through the crowd with a frown. When he saw Stephanie, he greeted her, saying, “Oh, you’ve finally arrived, Ms. Stephanie. We’ve been expecting you. What happened here? Did someone offend you?”Stephanie crossed her arms as she pointed at Xayne. “He did! He’s in my way, too.”The general manager looked over and saw Xayne holding Coco. The former thundered, “What are you doing?! Get out of here!”The general manager assumed it was something more significant but sighed in relief after realizing it was just a nobody blocking the way.Indeed, Stephanie lived up to her reputation. Her high and mighty demeanor demanded the general manager’s presence over a simple obstruction. However, Xayne’s follow-up forced him to turn back around. He asked, “Are you the mall’s gene

    Chuck’s voice came from the other end of the call, saying, “Please wait a moment, Mr. Xayne. I’ll instruct my assistant to proceed with the acquisition immediately.”Chuck’s assistant pulled up various financial reports and data regarding Ajax Shopping Complex’s revenue in seconds. The assistant reported, “Mr. Levy, the mall is worth one and a half billion dollars.”Chuck remained unfazed as he responded, “Mr. Xayne, we can get the mall for 1.2 billion dollars. Are you certain you want to proceed with the acquisition?”Xayne’s reply was cold and decisive, “Yes, I want to meet the mall’s chairman in ten minutes.”"Understood, sir!" Immediately after, Chuck told his assistant to find the contact information for the person in charge of Ajax Shopping Complex, Mr. Thoman Elby.Meanwhile, Thoman was in his office discussing the details and promotional plans for today’s grand opening celebration with the mall executives. Suddenly, his personal phone rang.He frowned at the caller ID and

    Several mall guards and employees motioned to remove Xayne from the mall. However, a group rushed over from a distance, led by Thomas, who roared, “Stop right there!”Thomas was flushed as the group of executives followed behind him.“S-Sir? Why are you here so suddenly? Don’t worry. I’ll resolve this issue soon,” the general manager said, “He’s just an ignorant fool blocking Stephanie’s path. My men will kick him out now.”Afterward, he pointed at a few mall guards and shouted, “What are you waiting for?! Kick that idiot out!”Then a heart-stopping scene unfolded, and the onlookers gasped in shock. Thomas strode forward and slapped the general manager. The former’s face reddened with anger as he scolded, “Who gave you the right to speak to Mr. Xayne like that?“You’re the ignorant one. That’s it—you’re fired, effective immediately. Get out now!”Thomas recognized Xayne after seeing the picture Chuck had sent him. Thomas’s heart dropped when he saw how insolent his general manage

    Xayne’s voice instilled a sense of fear and unease, causing Stephanie to frown. She never imagined someone she considered a loser to become the chairman of a well-known mall. Moreover, Xayne had spent a whopping 1.2 billion dollars to acquire it.Stephanie panicked, thinking, ‘Even I wouldn’t be worth that much if I sold myself. Yet that man spent that much to buy the mall.’She finally realized Xayne’s identity was far from simple and that he was not someone she should mess with.Still, Stephanie was one of the four rising stars backed by Sunriders Entertainment Group and several other benefactors. These were wealthy individuals worth billions.‘I have eight million followers on Twitter. What do I have to fear? I can cry online and blame everything on this man. By then, he’d have to face online scrutiny and have no time to bother me. He might even apologize to me instead.’Stephanie put on a fearless air. She raised her brow and removed her sunglasses, revealing her beauty as she

    Sunriders Entertainment Group had deep connections with several prominent directors nationwide. It had launched over a dozen artists in the entertainment industry. It was a renowned conglomerate, even a trendsetter in the domestic film industry.Dealing with such a colossal entity was not something one could manage alone, which was Thomas’s concern. While the young man before him might be Chuck’s boss and a local billionaire, there were plenty of people like him across Drakonia.Xayne was a small fish in the vast ocean compared to Sunriders Entertainment.'Can Mr. Xayne handle such a behemoth?'That was the question troubling Thomas. He even believed Xayne was being egotistical in not wanting to back down.Meanwhile, Thomas contemplated giving Xayne a graceful exit since there was no need to offend Sunriders Entertainment. After all, the potential consequences would not be worth it.However, Xayne took out his phone again and called Ace. He ordered, “Notify our men in Drakonix an

    Meanwhile, several military jeeps and armored vehicles sped to the Sunriders Entertainment Group building.As the jeeps screeched to a halt, nearly a hundred armed soldiers in military uniforms jumped out. They looked intimidating as they formed a formation before the building entrance.Thud, thud, thud!The shocking scene made the guards and receptionists tremble. One of them hastily informed the high-ranking personnel, “Mr. Jeremy, something strange is happening. Soldiers from the military district have assembled at the entrance.”“You’re kidding, right? Why would soldiers gather at the entrance?” Jeremy Berry was in disbelief as he sat in the Chairman’s office on the top floor.‘How ridiculous! I haven’t offended anyone from the military. My group has military connections too.’“I-It’s true, Mr. Jeremy. They’ve barged in—” The line went dead, and Jeremy’s lips twitched. After some thought, he dialed a number and exchanged a few words before rushing downstairs with his secretar

    ‘Did Stephanie stir up so much trouble that even a commanding officer had to get involved? Oh my God! That’d be a catastrophe!’ Jeremy panicked.The Lieutenant said coldly, “Most know my commanding officer as the King of the North.”His presence grew increasingly imposing as he spoke, causing everyone in the lobby to kneel, even Jeremy, who stammered, “S-Sir, I had nothing to do with this, I swear! I haven’t left Drakonix or even met the King of the North. I certainly didn’t provoke or challenge his authority.”‘The King of the North uses an iron-fisted approach in everything. He’s a warrior who has shed blood in many battles, a national hero, worshiped by all.’Jeremy could not understand how his entertainment group got on the towering figure’s bad side.The Lieutenant snorted disdainfully, saying, “Indeed, it has nothing to do with you. However, it’s about your artist, Stephanie Curtin.”Jeremy's mind raced as he wiped the cold sweat from his brow. Suddenly, he turned to his tr

    Jeremy’s expression turned solemn, torn between Stephanie’s financial interests and the investments from influential supporters. Meanwhile, he faced a Lieutenant who came under the King of the North’s orders.‘Who can stand against the King of the North?’This realization hit Jeremy hard. Thus, he could only apologize embarrassedly, “I’m sorry, sir. I must consult the group’s founder before making a decision.”He called the founder and anxiously recounted the situation. The voice on the other end grew firm after hearing about the situation, “That’s ridiculous! He’s only a Lieutenant, and you’re already scared? Are they trying to harass the Heimer family?“We have generals up our lineage and seasoned veterans who have served our country for generations. Jeremy, we won’t comply, no matter what they say. I want to see what this King of the North is capable of.“We’re in Drakonix, not the Northern Plains. We value social connections, networking, and resources here!”Click! The call

    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
