Chapter 149
Author: Blanco Burn
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!”

    Military trucks appeared as five hundred fully-armed soldiers jumped off and lined up on the street before the mansion. Meanwhile, eight tankers drove in with shells loaded and ready for use.Boom!A rugged middle-aged man kicked the frontmost jeep’s door open. He had golden epaulets with stars on his shoulders, showing he was a Major General. “All right, listen up! Load your guns and shoot anyone who resists.”The Major General was battle-tested and had a fierce demeanor as all five hundred soldiers loaded their guns.Simultaneously, a butler sprinted toward the mansion. He crashed to his knees and panted, saying, “S-Sir, there’s trouble outside! Five hundred soldiers with tanks are at the entrance!”Although the Heimers had generals in the past, Daniel could not help but shiver.

    Daniel was in shambles because he did not expect his father, who had been away on business, to return so suddenly. “D-Dad, I didn’t know. My employees informed me that the King of the North wanted to terminate Stephanie’s contract. She’s the artist we heavily invested in.“The company will lose several billion dollars if we do that. As you know, Stephanie has some pretty influential backers. S-So, I…” Before Daniel could finish speaking, Anakin slapped him.Anakin was frustrated as he pointed at his son and shouted, “You bastard! I looked into Stephanie. She behaves like an idiot who looks down on everyone. One of her men even pushed the King of the North’s daughter!“Instead of apologizing, she instigated her fans and threatened the King of the North, vowing to expose him online. Do you understand what she’s gotten herself into? Can Stephanie get away with treating the King of the North like that?“The four elders of Drakonia recognize his daughter as a princess.

    Xayne was at a loss as he did not expect Serena to show up yet. He could only smile under Serena’s suspicious scrutiny. After a while, he explained, “No, I used to work for the King of the North.”Then he embraced his daughter and said, “Let’s send Coco to a nearby hospital first.”Only after that did Serena notice the swelling on Coco’s forehead. The little one looked distressed, and her eyes were red from crying."Okay, let's go."Coco, lying in Xayne’s arms, looked at her mother and threw herself into Serena's arms. "Mommy! It hurts!"Serena was heartbroken seeing her daughter like this. The family of three took a cab to a nearby hospital, and Ace later arrived at the shopping mall to handle the rest of the mess.Meanwhile, Donovan’s men surrounded Thomas’s office. Thomas and his executives kneeled on the ground, trembling as they wiped the sweat off their foreheads.

    Violet ran over and grabbed Serena’s hand as the trio entered. Violet smiled as she said, “Serena, you’re finally home. We’ve been waiting for you forever.”Serena smiled awkwardly, saying, “What’s going on, Mom?”Serena smiled awkwardly, saying, "Mom, what's going on? Should we go in first?”Violet nodded and glanced at Royce while gesturing behind her. Then she followed Serena into the courtyard, and the latter asked, “What’s the matter, Mom? Just tell me, and I’ll do my best to help—”Serena was not naive and knew Violet and Royce had a purpose to visit her house. Violet burst into tears before Serena could finish her sentence. “Serena, you must help your little brother! He’s in trouble.”Serena's eyes narrowed as she listened. Then she asked, "Mom, even though Royce isn't my biological brother, he's still my brother. Tell me what's going on." Despite how Violet and Royce treated her before, Serena was still kind-hearted and wanted to help. Meanwhile, Xayne could only sigh an

    Serena looked at Xayne skeptically and frowned. "What are you implying?"Xayne took the contract from Serena and glanced over it. He helplessly sighed, saying, "It seems fine, but Royce is the issue. He's always been a money-minded guy. Do you honestly think someone like him would get conned?"Serena's frown deepened. Then she stood up, saying with a puzzled expression, "I know what you're thinking, but Royce is still my brother. If I don't help him, who will? I can't just watch Grandpa kick him out of the family, right?"Xayne understood Serena's kind nature and reluctance to let go of the Swift family. He shook his head and said, "Let me handle this matter." "You?" Serena frowned at Xayne. She could not figure out how Xayne could consistently solve complex problems, even though he seemingly had nothing. Moreover, she felt a connection to these problems but could not find any evidence.Xayne said smilingly, “I have some connections in Shalholm. I can look into it for you.”Sere

    “That's pretty impressive. Adrian is only twenty-seven, right? For him to reach such a position in the military must make him the family’s prodigy." Henry looked proud as he stood in the background and listened to the guests’ praises.‘My son has made me proud.’Adrian was a Major General set to be a Lieutenant next month. It was a unique accomplishment in Shalholm, even throughout the entire province.‘The Waltons from the provincial capital will regret their decision when Adrian becomes a Lieutenant. They might even pay a hefty price to reconcile. When that happens, we’ll have the upper hand in choosing our allies.’Henry had dressed himself in a refined and elegant suit for the occasion. He stepped out from the background and greeted the guests in the hall, saying, “Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize for my tardiness. Please have a seat.”The guests exchanged pleasantries, and someone asked, "Mr. Henry, when will Adrian arrive? We can't wait to meet Drakonia’s future Lieutenan

    Everyone fell silent when they heard Adrian’s words. The guests exchanged uncertain glances and even murmured under their breaths."Is he planning to obliterate Xayne Xavier and the Swifts once and for all?""Heh, it seems Xayne and the Swifts are goners. They're doomed since they offended a Lieutenant.""Oh no. We still have collaborations with the Swifts. I must inform our people to terminate all partnerships with them."Those in the hall dealing with the Swifts called their companies and urgently requested to sever all ties with them. These people had dozens of enterprises and came from prominent families. Many panicked as they witnessed this scene.After all, Adrian had vowed to eliminate the Swifts. Such terrifying power and methods meant that the Lennings would become one of Shalholm's foremost families in the future.

    "There are more than thirty of them?" Xayne's heart pounded. That meant there were people even stronger than Horin."They're all waiting... waiting for the Ruins of the Dragon Clan to surface. In the end, anyone who craves that treasure will lose their life to greed. That is the cycle of the world." Horin gazed into the distance with a calm expression.He had not been avoiding conflict—he had been biding his time, accumulating power. Xayne could sense it in his eyes. There was ambition there. Every move Horin made served his ultimate goal. Even forging a connection with Xayne had been a calculated step to expand his influence.Xayne was a lone warrior, with no faction backing him. From Horin's perspective, all he had to do was lend Xayne a hand, earn his gratitude, and that was enough. That was why Horin had treated him so favorably. He had even shared some of his own insights, sharpening Xayne’s mindset, strengthening his abilities. Someday, Xayne might become one of his strongest ass

    Xander sized up Fent and spoke coldly. "Fent, will you not turn back from your misguided path?"Fent struggled to his feet, his glare filled with hostility. He spat on the ground and growled, "I will never stand on the same side as Xayne! And you, mark my words—when I return from this mountain, it will be the day of your demise. Just you wait!" With that, he dragged his battered body away, limping down the mountain path without looking back. Stringer and Yeti flanked him, offering their support as he leaned on them for balance.At the Heavenly Water Sanctuary, to the east, a towering waterfall crashed down in torrents. To the west, a quiet river snaked through the valley, its current slow and steady. At the river’s heart lay a tranquil pool, its surface untouched by the world beyond.A hundred feet above the gorge, nestled into the cliffside, a cave overlooked the breathtaking scenery. The air was crisp and pure, carrying the scent of fresh earth and mountain blossoms."Senior, this p

    Fent did not dare utter a single word of protest. Clutching his chest, he trembled as he knelt before Horin."How is your teacher?" Horin turned slightly, directing his question to Yeti."It has been a hundred years since I last saw him. I do not know," Yeti replied with the utmost reverence.Horin suddenly shifted his gaze to Xayne. "The secret of the Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars… lies like the self—no thoughts, no desires, no life, no death! It does not rely on the power of the stars! The world follows the Path of Veyara, but what is the Path of Veyara? The radiance of the stars is not true light." His words were spoken softly as if he were merely muttering to himself—or perhaps offering Xayne a lesson.Xayne's heart stirred. Horin’s insight was astounding. The eight words—"No thoughts, no desires, no life, no death."—lingered in his mind. They placed Horin far beyond the comprehension of ordinary cultivators."Magnetic fields… are simply the pull of the stars. They have al

    "Do you yield?" Horin gazed at Xayne with a calm, indifferent expression.Fent and the others broke out in a cold sweat. Just a single finger—that was all it took. It proved that Horin’s power was unfathomable. Standing before him, they felt no different from mere ants. But what was even stranger was the complete absence of dominance around Horin. No oppressive force. No overwhelming presence. It was as if he, the heavens, the earth—everything—were one. His arrival, and that single finger strike, felt less like an act of man and more like the will of the universe itself.Xayne was beyond shocked. But he was not the only one. Andrea, watching the live broadcast, sat in stunned silence. He could hardly believe what he had just witnessed. Because the one who had been defeated—was Xayne.'Then what realm had this man reached? Quad-Radiant Commander? Rising Numen Commander? Or had he already ascended to Numen Commander?' The mere thought sent shivers down Andrea’s spine.The Light Order’s

    Xayne’s comprehension must have been immense—not only to counter Fent’s attack but to transform it into his own. Fent would have easily blocked this spear had he not taken that devastating palm strike.But now, his entire right side was caved in. One arm hung limply, the other completely empty. No sword, no weapon, not even a sliver of metal remained to block Xayne’s spear. It was no different from trying to catch a nuclear warhead.Yet, Fent had no choice. His retreat had already been cut off. If he turned his back, he would only meet a deadly stab from behind—a certain death sentence."If I die—then I'll drag you down with me!" Fent’s face twisted in fury. With only one thought in his mind, he lunged toward Xayne. He would deliver a lethal palm strike, even if it meant taking Xayne’s spear head-on."Master, he's going for mutual destruction!" From a distance, Esmond saw Fent shooting forward and cried out in alarm.But Xayne had already seen through him. And now, there was no turning

    Xayne appeared to be at his limit, yet in truth, he was far from it. From the Heavenly Tome, he had already mastered the Seven-Star Footwork to perfection. With the slightest lift of his feet, his positioning shifted unpredictably.Three consecutive strikes from Fent were missed completely. The sheer force of the sword energy alone shattered the nearby trees into splinters.Xayne lunged forward, spear in hand, as a formation flared to life around him. In an instant, multiple spear projections erupted outward, each infused with lethal intent, hurtling toward Fent from every angle."Not good! Fall back quickly!" Elder Stringer suddenly shouted toward Fent.But at that very moment, just as the spears were about to pierce into Fent's body, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Fent's lips. It went exactly as he had planned. From the very start, his attacks had merely been probing. Through those exchanges, Fent had already figured out that Xayne's strength was high, but his battle exp

    Just as Fent unleashed his full-force attack, far away in the Skyveria Cave Heaven within Nindragon Mountain, a young man with long hair slowly rose from a white lotus platform. He turned to the elderly figure beside him and murmured, "Fent of White Blossom Mountain?" The elderly figure was none other than Xander. Xander frowned slightly and said, "Your Excellency, in truth, the moment Killian's descendant was attacked days ago, forces from outer battlegrounds had already begun their plans. This time, they've dispatched eleven Radiant Commanders just to erase the last glimmer of hope for Drakonia. If Xayne dies, the three Dragon Hearts will be masterless, and the Ruins of Dragon Clan will never be opened again!" Xander spoke with no emotion as if merely stating an unrelated fact. Upon hearing this, Horin Tamie, the Creator of Light Order, turned his gaze toward Xayne's distant battlefield before suddenly tilting his head back and laughing. "Xander, are you truly not worried about

    Xayne let out a sudden roar, and his Scarlet Dragon Lance erupted with a dazzling radiance. The void within hundreds of meters shuddered violently, while the earth beneath them cracked open with deep fissures. At this moment, the sky seemed on the verge of being torn apart by the overwhelming force. Xayne's aura surged to its absolute peak. "Elder Stringer! Hurry! You and I must join forces to kill him! He's burning his life force, he can't last much longer! Just hold out a little longer, and he will surely perish!" Fent roared at Elder Stringer. But there was no need for Fent to say anything; Elder Stringer and Yeti could already feel it. Xayne was igniting his very soul. Elder Stringer unleashed his full strength at that instant, his sword slashing toward Xayne with killing intent. They needed just five more minutes. Xayne's aura would surely weaken, and when that moment came, it would be the end of him. "Hold out? Do you think you have a chance to kill me?" Xayne let out a c

    After the relentless battles, Xayne was clearly at his limit. Fent refused to believe that Xayne could still put up a fight. He could distinctly sense Xayne's aura weakening. As the saying goes, "Strike while the iron is hot." With a sudden tremor of his body, Fent flicked his wrist, and the sword he had tossed aside earlier shot back into his grasp. With a single thrust, his blade erupted with a dazzling silver radiance, peerless sword energy piercing straight into the sky. Fent wasn't regarded as the peak combatant among the eleven just because of his raw power. It was because he wielded a lost secret formation from White Blossom Mountain, the "Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars."Strictly speaking, this formation surpassed conventional formations. It was a forbidden secret formation. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a peerless heavenly skill. The origins of the Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars could be traced back to the first ancestor of White Blossom Mounta
