The Barrett made a loud noise, and a large-caliber bullet burst out of the barrel of the gun.The bullet spun rapidly in the air, piercing through the atmosphere, creating air ripples, and shooting toward the Kino Group disciple charging at Xayne.The next moment, under the gaze of all eight hundred disciples, the disciple who rushed toward Xayne was pierced by a bullet, his chest instantly exploding. Even his whole body was sent flying several meters, falling into a pool of blood.It took one shot to kill him in an instant.All the Kino Group disciples prepared to charge at Xayne stopped abruptly, looking in horror at their fellow disciple whose chest was pierced and bleeding profusely.At this moment, everyone panicked.They quickly looked around, trying to find the sniper lurking in the shadows."An enemy is lurking!" Someone shouted, and everyone panicked.Even Rex's face was cold and solemn at this moment. He quickly looked up at the distant mountains and forests, trying to
The next moment, the three disciples fell into a pool of blood.The Ravenclaw Dagger returned to Xayne's hand, dripping with blood, dazzling and horrifying.Seeing this, Rex felt his heart pounding as his face darkened. Xayne had eliminated three of his disciples in the blink of an eye.Such strength was unimaginable.Even he couldn't have killed three chief instructors in the blink of an eye.Rex was starting to panic.It was no wonder Dispenza Circle had submitted to Xayne's feet. This kid was indeed extraordinary.Rex didn't know if Xayne had been hiding his true strength this whole time.At this moment, Nikolai was also panicking. He hid behind Rex, anxiously shouting, "Dad, what should we do? Xayne looks extraordinary. Did we make a mistake?"Rex frowned and said to Nikolai, "You leave through the secret passage in the hall leading to the back mountain. Remember, you must pass on the message to the Healers Valley in Drakonix. Let the people of Healers Valley avenge us f
However, even Haqin didn't exude the intense, pervasive, and terrifying dominance that Xayne had at this moment. It was as if what stood before him at this moment was a demon who looked in all directions and killed millions of enemies."Xayne, are you trying to scare me? From what you're saying, you don't even care about the Healers Valley." Rex laughed bitterly, his eyes radiating coldness.Xayne coldly said, "Is the Healers Valley very powerful? If the Healers Valley wants to stand up for the Kino Group, then I'll destroy the Healers Valley. If they don't submit, I'll destroy their group.""Arrogant! You're too arrogant! The Healers Valley has been ruling for thousands of years. How dare a nobody like you talk about destroying them?" Rex roared.However, Xayne's eyes burst with light as he looked down at Rex, saying word by word, "When I say destroy, I mean it."In just a few words, an overwhelming dominance loomed over him.Rex was stunned.It took him a while to react and sa
On the other end of the phone, Hammond heard Xayne's words and became extremely anxious, saying, "Xayne. Please don't act recklessly. Healers Valley is not like Kino Group. It's the eighth-ranked kickboxing medical group in Drakonia. Haqin, with his prestigious identity as the imperial physician to the emperor, has a close relationship with the elders of the kickboxing group. If you get into a dispute or conflict with Healers Valley, it will be a crisis for Drakonia."Xayne frowned, his expression serious, and asked, "Hammond, are you suggesting that I should yield to Healers Valley?"Hammond hesitated for a moment and said, "That's not exactly what I mean. You shouldn't worry about this matter. Let me discuss it with Warren and the others. If necessary, come to Drakonix later, and I will take you to Healers Valley in person to clarify things with them. I believe the elders of Healers Valley are not unreasonable. If they still refuse to listen, then I will stand on your side. The Dra
Even though he was prepared, Darius was still shocked to hear these words. Then, his face was filled with excitement, and he shouted to the dozen or so elites of Dispenza Circle present, "Did you hear that? Kino Group is gone. It has been expelled from Folksworth. We made the right choice."The dozen elites present also had expressions of shock, riled up for a moment.Kino Group, a kickboxing medical group on par with Dispenza Circle, had disappeared like this.Xayne, the King of the North, was truly terrifying. To be enemies with him was truly a dead end.Fortunately, Darius was wise."Everyone, from today onward, Folksworth belongs to Dispenza Circle. Follow the plan we made in advance." Darius was extremely excited and issued the order."Yes!"Soon, the dozen elites left the group at lightning speed.Darius also called the steward and asked, "Have you prepared a generous gift?""Master, everything is ready.""Good. Prepare the car and go to Serena Group." Darius waved grand
Serena initially wanted to refuse, but Darius was resolute. He even knelt and begged her to accept.With such determination, Serena finally accepted the formula for Skywhite Ointment.Thus, Serena Group and Dispenza Circle formed an unbreakable alliance. They became firm allies.Afterward, Serena led Darius and his team to the conference room to discuss their future collaboration.About half an hour later, after seeing Darius and his team off, Serena turned to Evelyn and said, "Let's go check on the lab."Serena Group had established an underground pharmaceutical research lab.This lab focused on developing new drugs.For Serena Group, the underground lab was the heart of the company and its most confidential area. It had cost tens of millions to build.To ensure its security, Xayne had personally brought in an expert from Northern Plains to design the lab's security system.They had already successfully developed a new anti-cancer drug. Its cure rate reached 40%. This was an
Immediately, Xayne felt a wave of relief wash over him. A smoke bomb, fortunately, was not lethal.Serena had been watching a data simulation inside the research lab when the smoke bomb went off. She did not panic. Instead, she quickly crouched down and moved to a corner where there was some cover.Serena was smart. At that moment, she yanked out the lab’s data USB drive. She knew very well that the attacker’s objective was either her or the research data. However, the new anti-cancer drug’s data on the lab’s computers was encrypted with the most advanced technology, so she was not overly worried.The sudden chaos, the suffocating smoke—it was pandemonium inside the research lab. Many researchers, unsure of what was happening, crouched and scrambled in all directions, desperate to escape.This chaos was precisely what the perpetrator desired. Amidst the confusion, blending in and achieving their objective would be easier. As the smoke thickened, visibility dropped to less than a me
The panic instigator had a simple objective. It was to create chaos and seize the research lab's experimental data. With the data in hand, he could blend into the panicked crowd and escape with them. However, he had not anticipated Xayne's presence, which threw off his plans entirely.Xayne stood by the entrance like a brick wall, letting no one out. Despite his shouts, the lab remained in turmoil as everyone feared for their lives.A few more people pressed toward Xayne. He grabbed and pushed two of them back, but as he reached for the third, there was a sudden glint aimed at his neck. It was a dagger, gleaming ominously, thrust out from the smoke.The assailant moved swiftly, clearly a trained fighter. The timing was impeccable. By the time Xayne sensed the danger, the dagger had already slashed through his shirt."Damn!" Xayne cursed. He could not face the attacker head-on. The opponent was prepared, and the thick smoke made it impossible to pinpoint his location. He quickly dod
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
