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
Soon, Ritchie arrived with a large number of soldiers.When they saw the bodies lying on the ground, they were shocked.After learning their identities and seeing the state they were in, they were even more horrified.The Seven Deatheaters and Seven Reapers were international fugitives. They were ruthless killers. Never did they imagine that they would meet their end here today.This was a major event.Ritchie quickly ordered his men to clean up the fourteen bodies. Then, he stood respectfully by Xayne's side and asked, "Commander Xayne, do you need me to send men to protect you?"Xayne glanced at Ritchie and replied, "There's no need for that."With that, Xayne returned to the hotel lobby and found Serena.By now, the hotel banquet was ending, so Xayne and Serena left and returned to the villa.On the other side, in the hospital, Lexter and Waldo received the news of the annihilation of the Seven Deatheaters and the Seven Reapers. They didn't react for a long time.Waldo was
Everyone wondered if he would die.Waldo's face was filled with excitement and joy upon hearing these words. However, he quickly asked, "But, Mr. Lexter, Xayne has been renowned in Drakonia's military for a long time. His strength previously reached the realm of a Celestial Commander! "Recently, when he killed the Flame King in the Drakonix's Emperor's Pavilion, it's said that he even broke through to an Eternal! In kickboxing terms, that's two levels higher than a kickboxing grandmaster's peak... Can these two grandmasters guarantee his death?"Lexter sneered and patted Waldo's shoulder, saying, "Mr. Waldo, you're underestimating these two grandmasters! They are two elders from the prestigious Beastiary Pavilion of Wyncock, the great sect of weaponry! They excel in the use of weapons!"If these two join forces, even a Celestial Commander would meet his demise! As long as Xayne isn't a Divine Commander, being an Eternal doesn't matter?"Hearing this, Waldo nodded, finally at ease
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
