A single, simple sentence sent shivers down Trent's spine.'This man has such an intimidating presence and a terrifying gaze!'At that moment, Trent saw a look in Xayne's eyes that was like the gaze of death itself.That look made him feel like he was standing on a raging, boiling ocean.In a moment of disorientation, Trent thought he was going to die."You... What do you want?" Trent panicked, stumbling half a step back.Xayne stepped forward and kicked Trent square in the chest and stomach.Suddenly, Trent was launched like a cannonball, crashing into the tables and chairs behind him. He collapsed to the ground, clutching his abdomen and spitting blood, unable to get up for a long time.This scene left the three Hwark brothers in the hall—Jaden, Lennox, and Damian—frozen in place, not knowing what to do."You dare to lay a hand on my big brother?! You're courting death!"The next second, Jaden exploded with rage, clenching his fists, exuding the aura of a kickboxer, and cha
However, Trent's heart sank as soon as he looked at Xayne. There was no sign of fear on Xayne's face.Instead, he saw ease and overwhelming confidence.‘What is going on? Why is he so relaxed? Is he not worried about causing a civil war in the country?!’At this moment, Xayne smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Trent, why don't you go outside and see who exactly is surrounding your estate now?"Trent's face tensed upon hearing this, and a sudden realization struck him.Meanwhile, Lennox and Damian had already hurried to the window, peering out under the light of the flares and surveying the entire Hwark residence.In that instant, their faces were filled with shock and disbelief."This...this can't be it... Why is this happening?"Lennox panicked, fearful as he stumbled back several steps, collapsing to the ground.Damian also laughed bitterly, saying, "It's over! Everything is over... As expected of the King of the North… Such a grand move… Our family has lost..."At this moment
"Hold your fire! Hold your fire!"Just as Xayne was about to pull the trigger, an urgent voice shouted from the doorway.A middle-aged man in a suit hurriedly rushed in, out of breath. He blocked Xayne, pleading, "Supreme Commander Xayne, please spare him! Please spare my brother and the Hwark family on behalf of me!"He continued, "If you show mercy, the Hwark family will strictly adhere to the law, work diligently, and never overstep again!"Xayne frowned, looking at the middle-aged man before him, and asked, "Who are you?"The man quickly replied, "Commander Xayne, I am Leonardo Hwark, the fourth brother of the Hwark family. I am the third deputy chief in the Office of General Affairs.""General Affairs Office as third deputy chief?"Hearing his title, Xayne frowned.Leonardo wiped the sweat off his forehead and smiled obsequiously. "Supreme Commander Xayne, this is all a misunderstanding. Please show mercy and forgive my brother and the others. I will make sure they properl
Lexter smirked, holding a wine glass, and said, "No worries! Since Master Quinca and Master Tyne have arrived, we can begin our plan." He turned to Waldo and instructed, "Waldo, please invite the two masters here.""Yes, sir!" Waldo replied and left the room.A short while later, Waldo returned with two elderly men. Lexter immediately stood up, his face full of respect and a courteous smile, and greeted them with clasped fists. "Masters, please have a seat."The two elderly men exchanged glances before sitting down. The taller of the two, with white eyebrows and a beard, was Master Quinca Tybo. The other, slightly portly and with a stern expression, was Master Tyne Wyant. Both were peak kickboxing grandmasters, equivalent to Grandmaster Warriors in the military hierarchy.Lexter, looking at them eagerly, asked, "Masters, is everything ready?"Quinca stroked his beard, projecting an aura of deep wisdom, and replied, "Mr. Lexter, everything is prepared. With us taking action, even t
At this moment, Xayne had just arrived at the Tyneg Hotel.The entire hotel had a vintage, classic architecture. The entrance featured intricate dragon and phoenix sculptures, flanked by small gardens and pavilions reminiscent of traditional gardens.Upon entering the main doors, Xayne was greeted by a large artificial rock formation.He walked around it and entered the main hall, which spanned about five or six thousand square feet, offering ample space.Lexter stood there, dressed in an expensive suit, hands behind his back as he waited for Xayne with a smile.Beside him stood Waldo, his expression cold, frowning with a hint of hostility.He whispered, "Mr. Lexter, it's been ten minutes. Why hasn't Xayne arrived yet? Is he too afraid to show up?"Lexter smirked and replied, "No, Xayne is not someone who backs down. From our last encounter, I could tell he was extremely arrogant and dismissive of others. He'll definitely come tonight because he cannot tolerate any threat to Ser
However, Xayne was no ordinary person.He was the King of the North, already nearing the rank of a Divine Commander. The pressure and killing intent did not faze him at all.Xayne calmly sat across from the two grandmasters, leisurely picking up the teacup on the table and taking a few sips.On the other side, Lexter's face darkened slightly, but he continued with the introductions, "These two are elders from the Beastiary Pavilion, Master Quinca and Master Tyne. Both of them grandmasters are currently serving the Healers Valley. Supreme Commander Xayne, what do you think?"Lexter's smile grew cold as he looked at Xayne.Xayne raised his eyebrows, glanced at the two grandmasters sitting calmly before him, and then shook his head. "Mr. Lexter, I thought you've learned your lesson, but you're still as foolish as ever!"Lexter's face twisted with anger, teeth clenched. "Supreme Commander Xayne, what do you mean by that? I invited you here for a negotiation. With such an attitude, I
Hearing this, the dozen men exchanged glances, silently drawing various cold weapons from their waists.Lexter chuckled coldly. "Heh, Supreme Commander Xayne, you're too arrogant! Today, with these two grandmasters here, even if your strength as an Eternal, you'll still fall to them! So, I suggest you surrender, kneel, and apologize to me. Serve me, and I'll spare your life. How about it?"Lexter's face was full of pride, convinced that Xayne would lose today.After all, he had nothing to fear with these two grandmasters present.At this moment, Xayne's eyes glinted with a cold light. He smiled faintly at Lexter. "Lexter, you're very confident and ignorant. Let me show you that some people should never be provoked!"With that, Xayne stood up, releasing a terrifying aura.This aura swept through the entire room instantly.At that moment, Xayne was like a god descending to earth, his entire being radiating a soul-chilling killing intent.One misstep would mean instant death.Lex
Xayne raised his hand once he was done talking. In his palm was a fork that he spun around, creating arcs of light before launching it. It instantly became a silver streak, shooting toward a terrified Lexter.This attack could easily take Lexter's life.Quinca, who had been sitting calmly, suddenly frowned. A terrifying killing intent exploded from him as he slammed his hand on the table, shouting, "How dare you?! Do you think you can act out in front of me?"Before the words fully left his mouth, the teacup in front of him jumped into the air from the force of his slap. Simultaneously, he swatted the airborne teacup toward Xayne.In mid-air, the silver fork collided with the teacup, shattering it. However, the fork didn't slow down, continuing straight toward Lexter.This all happened in the blink of an eye.Seeing this, Lexter screamed, "Mr. Quica, save me!"Quinca watched as the teacup shattered, but the fork sped on. He roared in anger, rising and shoving Lexter behind him.
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
