Draven nodded in agreement.The next day, Xayne said his goodbyes to Serena and the others.At the door, Serena helped Xayne straighten his jacket and said with concern, "Be careful on the journey. I'll be waiting for you to come back."Xayne nodded, turned around, and got into the military vehicle before heading straight for Folksworth Military Airport.Ritchie and his team had been waiting at the military airport. As soon as they saw Xayne's vehicle approaching, they greeted him with respect. "Commander Xayne, everything has been arranged."Xayne nodded and said to Ritchie, "While I'm away, make sure to secure Folksworth. This afternoon, ten thousand soldiers from Folksworth will join our troops. Use this opportunity to learn from their training and enhance the overall defense capabilities of Folksworth.""Yes, sir. Understood," Ritchie responded respectfully.After that, Xayne and Draven boarded the private jet, heading to Westside Military Theater.Meanwhile, in Drakonix, I
The moment those words were spoken, the large, dimly lit conference room fell into a dead silence.Even the slightest breaths could be heard clearly.The name Xander seemed to have a boundless power, unsettling the hearts and minds of the big four.Back in the day, Xander stood at the pinnacle of Drakonia's military, leading the Xavier family and standing on equal footing with the big four.If it hadn't been for the big four conspiring against Xander, they might have been utterly suppressed by the Xayne family.So, they feared Xander immensely.He was too mysterious and powerful.If that formidable figure were Xander, the crisis facing the big four would be extremely dire.Xander was a supreme powerhouse, invincible in the world. No one would dare to oppose such a force.Even if the heads of the big four joined forces, they might not stand a chance against such a powerhouse.Iyas's expression hardened. He broke the deathly quiet with a cold voice, "It doesn't matter if he's X
The chief military advisor personally greeted them, a respectful smile on his face. He extended his hand, saying, "Supreme Commander Xayne, welcome to the Westside Military Theater. The commander is currently directing joint exercises across the various subzones and couldn't come to greet you in person, so he sent me."Xayne nodded, shook the military advisor's hand, and smiled. "It doesn't matter."With that, the military advisor led Xayne to the prepared reception room."King of the North, please wait here for a moment. The commander will join you shortly," the military advisor said with a faint smile before leaving the room.Xayne nodded, glanced around, and then sat down with Draven to wait.After about half an hour, Draven grew restless. He stood up, frowning, and said coldly, "Drakon King, I think Fraser is deliberately stalling you."Xayne smiled slightly, took a sip of the tea, which had already cooled down, and said, "Be patient. We're not in the Northern Plains. We're g
Draven's eyes lit up with excitement when he heard this and nodded. "Got it."They waited until nightfall, but Xayne still hadn’t seen any sign of Fraser. Even the chief military advisor from earlier hadn’t reappeared, as if they had been completely forgotten.Draven glanced outside and then turned to Xayne. "Drakon King, there are two patrol squads outside. There are twenty men in total. Two snipers are on a high platform to the north, a hundred meters away."Xayne nodded, stood up, and said, "Let's move."In an instant, the two slipped out of the reception room, using the cover of the night to approach the patrolling soldiers. Xayne targeted the last soldier in one of the patrols, moving like a panther. He swiftly covered the soldier's mouth and snapped his neck with a quick twist, leaving him unconscious.Xayne dragged the body aside, quickly changed into the soldier’s uniform, and seamlessly blended into the patrol. The operation took about two minutes, and not a sound was m
Bullets were flying everywhere.Fraser's face darkened as he stood in the command room, and he asked angrily, "What's going on out there?"The chief military advisor burst in at that moment, shouting, "Supreme Commander, an unidentified force has engaged our security forces.""Unidentified force? This is the command room of the Westside Military Headquarters. How did this happen under your watch?!" Fraser roared, his face contorted with rage.The chief military advisor, looking thoroughly embarrassed, replied, "Supreme Commander, rest assured. The security forces have already begun to counterattack. We should be able to eliminate them soon."Before he could finish speaking, the door to the command room was violently kicked open.Two figures appeared at the entrance.Every soldier in the room raised their guns, aiming at the two intruders stepping inside.The chief military advisor quickly drew his gun, pointing it at the figures, and shouted, "Who are you? How dare you barge int
Xayne smiled faintly. "Fraser, what do you think I saw?"Fraser remained silent for a moment, then laughed heartily. "Commander Xayne, you must be joking. Let's discuss this in the meeting room."After a short while, Xayne and Fraser met in the meeting room.Fraser, sipping his tea, got straight to the point. "Commander Xayne, does the Emperor really suspect the Westside Military Theater of treason?"Xayne raised an eyebrow and replied calmly, "According to confidential reports, it appears so. However, it might also be enemy forces infiltrating and sowing discord, trying to create a rift between the Emperor and the Westside Military Theater."Hearing this, Fraser slammed his hand on the table in anger. "It must be enemy infiltration. Damn it. How dare they frame us? Westside Military Theater has always been loyal to Drakonia and never harbored any treasonous thoughts. Please convey this to the Emperor. We swear to defend Drakonia to our last breath."Xayne nodded. "Of course. The
Xayne smiled and replied, "Very good."With praise from Xayne, Serena's smile grew even wider. She then took a shower and changed her clothes before turning to Xayne. "Honey, there's a gala tonight, and I want to attend. Will you accompany me?""What gala?" Xayne asked."A business gala. I haven't been in Folksworth for long, so it's a good opportunity to network with more influential figures," Serena said as she looked at herself in the mirror, wearing a black backless evening gown and sparkling diamond earrings.Xayne nodded, glancing at Serena.At this moment, she had shed the sharpness from her boxing practice and exuded a mature charm.With her hair up, it revealed her smooth and tender back and her slender waist. Xayne couldn't help but walk over, embrace her from behind, and kiss her, saying, "Honey, you look stunning."Serena rolled her eyes at him. "Oh, stop it. Hurry up and change."Xayne shrugged and reluctantly changed into a suit.Afterward, Serena hooked her arm
As Jonathan's two bodyguards advanced toward Serena, everyone around her trembled and backed away.No one dared to stand up for Serena at this moment.After all, Jonathan was a prominent figure.In town, Dispenza Circle was one of the top kickboxing groups specializing in medicine. Their group possessed numerous ancient prescriptions and elixirs coveted by many pharmaceutical companies.Many companies tried to collaborate with the Dispenza Circle for wealth creation, but the group was arrogant and held itself above such mundane affairs.Some medications on the market were leaked from various kickboxing groups.Dispenza Circle, recognizing the market's potential, established several pharmaceutical companies, refusing to cooperate with other enterprises unless they were large enough and had the necessary resources.However, there were no pharmaceutical companies in town that could match Dispenza Circle's prestige.Hence, no matter what Jonathan did, these elites had to cater to h
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
