Xayne untied the shirt that had bound Anastasia's hands. Since the shirt was completely ruined, he handed her another one and carefully helped her put it on. Of course, during the process, his hands inevitably touched her, sending a ticklish sensation through her body.Anastasia, either too shocked or lost in thought, didn't stop Xayne from his actions, letting him dress her.Afterward, Xayne said nonchalantly, "Go ahead, open the door. Don’t keep Serena waiting."With that, Xayne turned and left. Anastasia stood there in a daze for several seconds. It wasn't until the knocking resumed that she gathered herself and walked to the door.When she opened it, Serena stood there smiling. Seeing Anastasia's flushed face, she couldn't help but ask, "Anastasia, why is your face so red?"Anastasia touched her burning cheeks, her mind replaying the scene in the locker room with Xayne, filling her with resentment."Is it? Maybe it's just too hot in here," she said awkwardly, unsure why she
The banquet was held at the Golden Dragon Hotel, essentially an industry networking event. Besides senior executives from Serena Group, many renowned entrepreneurs from Folksworth and some out-of-town bosses were also invited.Serena and Xayne arrived early and encountered Lionel, the chairman of the Medical Association, at the hotel entrance.He was accompanied by a female companion and he wore a sinister smile. When he saw Serena and Xayne get out of the car, he brazenly approached."How dare you guys show up?"Serena turned her head and saw Lionel's loathsome face. She shot him a cold glance and walked away without a word.Watching her leave, Xayne glanced at Lionel and patted his shoulder. Lionel flinched and looked at him with wary eyes, asking, "What do you want?"Xayne shrugged and warned, "Lionel, I advise you to keep a low profile. You know who I am. My last warning wasn't a joke.""I know you're the King of the North, but the Medical Association isn't a pushover. We ha
It was a mixture of admiration and resentment toward Xayne.As for Waldo, he was still recuperating in the hospital, receiving treatment for his injuries."Mr. Lionel, it's a pleasure to see you," Lexter said gracefully, a smile playing at his lips, neither too genuine nor too fake.At the same time, he took the highball glass handed to him by Lionel. Lexter gently swirled the red wine inside and asked with a smile, "You mentioned someone wanted to meet me tonight. Has that person arrived?""Mr. Lexter, the person you wanted to meet is here. Look." Lionel said with a sneer, pointing toward Xayne and Serena. "That's him. He's the culprit behind the attack on Waldo and the destruction of the Kino Group. His name is Xayne Xavier, also known as the current King of the North."Following Lionel's gesture, Lexter glanced over. The first thing that caught his eye wasn't Xayne but the woman by his side, Serena. She was stunning, as beautiful as a fairy.He had never seen such a captivatin
Lionel had taught her all of this before, and at this moment, he gave her an approving look.Lexter took another sip of red wine and calmly said, "It's the first time I've heard someone threatening Healer's Valley. How interesting."Lionel looked nervously at Lexter. His purpose tonight was simple, which was to bring up the issue of the Healers Valley and put pressure on the arrogant Xayne.Moreover, he could tell that Lexter might have taken a liking to Serena. The look just now had made it clear."Mr. Lexter, should we go over there now?" Lionel asked in a low voice.Lexter swirled the red wine in his glass and strode toward Xayne.He smiled and walked over in a leisurely manner, looking very generous, like a scion of a prominent family.At this moment, he only had Xayne in his eyes.Xayne, of course, noticed Lexter approaching.Most of the people present were elites of the business world, seeing the commotion over here. Many recognized Lexter at a glance, wondering how th
Lexter showed no reaction to Xayne's rejection, as if he had known the other party would refuse.Xayne held his red wine glass and stood silently aside, a faint smile gradually appearing on his face. From his expression alone, one couldn't tell what Xayne was thinking at the moment.However, Serena knew. Xayne was brewing up something, or rather, Lexter was in trouble.Suddenly, applause rang out in the hall. Xayne put down his wine glass and suddenly started clapping.Everyone looked at him, puzzled, not knowing what he was up to."If you want to get to know me, that's fine and easy. I remember last time I said that as long as someone from the Healers Valley appears before me, I will teach them how to behave. Unfortunately, you are the first person to test that statement." Xayne applauded while slowly walking up to Lexter, staring coldly into his eyes, his tone icy. "I'm sorry, Mr. Lexter of the Healers Valley, your words just now didn't sit well with me. I have a bad habit. I
Serena frowned but didn't pay much attention to it.Lexter lay on the ground, feeling like he had been hit by a heavy truck in the abdomen. The pain was overwhelming as if countless men were relentlessly pounding his stomach.Lexter could never have imagined that a single kick from the other party would knock him out.He was the representative of Healers Valley.Tonight's incident was a complete disgrace for the Healers Valley.Lexter knelt on the ground, feeling some relief in his abdomen. His face was dark when he lifted his head as he glared at Xayne with bloodshot eyes. He struggled to get up from the ground.At this moment, Lexter had lost his previous magnanimous demeanor, appearing disheveled and tense, filled with indomitable anger.Lexter wiped the stains from the corner of his mouth. He angrily unbuttoned his suit, throwing it on the ground, pointing at Xayne, and shouting, "Do you know what you just did?!"Lexter's voice was filled with anger, somewhat hoarse, and hi
He seemed unafraid of death.At this moment, the hotel manager hurried over, asking people to take Lexter to the hospital.Standing in the crowd, Lionel was sweating profusely, feeling extremely anxious. Thinking quickly, he quietly slipped out, following the others.It was just a little incident, but its aftermath was quietly brewing.Half an hour later, the atmosphere of the entire banquet gradually calmed down, and the guests began to engage in conversations.During this time, Lionel checked on Lexter several times, learned about his condition, and then returned to the hotel. However, Lexter didn't go to the hospital at all. Instead, he immediately left the hotel, his whereabouts unknown.Perhaps a storm had already begun to brew.Inside the Folksworth Hospital ten minutes later, Lexter was staring at the trembling Waldo kneeling before him as he clutched his chest. Lexter roared, "I want to issue an immediate death order for Xayne. How dare he lay a hand on me?! And he even
Watching the fourteen figures charging toward him, Xayne shook his head helplessly. He slowly walked forward before suddenly accelerating, rushing straight ahead.At the forefront, one of the kickboxing masters was hit in the chest and abdomen by Xayne's punch.In that instant, the man's eyes widened in disbelief as he felt his chest and abdomen sink inward, blood spraying from his mouth. His whole body was sent flying a few meters and then backward, crashing into a car parked by the roadside.The car was pushed away by the impact, emitting a piercing alarm.Then, the kickboxing master collapsed on the ground, continuously coughing up blood with his eyes wide open before dying on the spot.The entire scene fell into silence.The remaining thirteen people stopped in their tracks, their faces filled with horror as they watched their fallen comrade in a pool of blood.A kickboxing master was killed with a single punch.This was simply unimaginable.The remaining thirteen kickboxi
