Meanwhile, the entire city of Folksworth was under lockdown and strict curfew.The common folks had no idea what was happening, only seeing armed soldiers patrolling the streets day and night alongside police officers.Ritchie announced publicly that the city was conducting a month-long training exercise.However, many sensed from various signs that the city was at the center of a brewing storm. Surely, something significant was about to unfold.Xayne had been unconscious for three days.During these three days, three renowned doctors had exhausted all efforts to treat Xayne's injuries.External wounds were now tended to, but internal injuries required Xayne's recovery."Doctors, is my husband going to be alright?" Serena anxiously inquired, facing the three doctors before her.Stephan thought for a moment, then replied, "Madam, Commander Xayne is stable for now. However, there's an inexplicable force within him that's continuously affecting his organs. It's quite peculiar. If
"Who are you? Let me warn you, there are strong individuals throughout this mansion. If you dare to cause trouble, you will be taken down." Serena's voice was cold, a hint of fierceness flashing in her eyes.The person chuckled, raising their hand. Serena felt the dagger hidden behind her back tremble and slip out of her grip, flying into the person's hand with a swish.Witnessing this scene, Serena was shocked.This kind of sorcery was unheard of.The person held the dagger, examining it closely, and said, "The Moye Dagger, indeed a fine mid-tier celestial-grade weapon. It's a pity that the Gaya Dagger has never been found to this day. Some say the Gaya Dagger has been broken. But who knows, these two daggers were originally a pair. If one breaks, the other will inevitably shatter."Listening to the figure's words, Serena frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? What do you want?"As soon as she finished speaking, the figure lifted the wide brim of their hat, revealing a
Upon hearing Xander's words, Serena remained composed. She turned to look at Xayne lying unconscious on the bed, tears streaming down her cheeks, her lips trembling slightly.She was willing to give up everything for Xayne, even her own life.She couldn't bear to lose Xayne or Coco.Watching Xayne lying unconscious, Serena was frantic with worry.She had tried everything she could but felt utterly helpless.Now, Xander had a solution. Whatever it may be, Serena was determined to try. Even if it meant she might never wake up again, she had to try.With that, Serena wiped away the tears from her eyes and turned to face Xander solemnly. She bowed three times and said, "Grandpa, no matter what, please save Xayne. If I can't wake up, please tell him not to be sad for me, to forget about me. He should find another woman and take care of Coco."Serena could hardly speak through her tears, but inside, her resolve was firm.Xander looked at Serena and nodded approvingly, a smile of reli
Xander smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, Serena. With me here, I won't let anything happen to him.""Grandpa, I trust you," Serena nodded in response."So, when do we start? What do you need me to do?" Serena asked again.Xander replied, "We start tonight. What you need to do is simple. You will serve as the conduit between me and Xayne.""Me?" Serena was puzzled.Xander nodded, explaining, "Right now, Xayne is unconscious, and I can't transfer my power to him. Moreover, my power is too immense and domineering. Therefore, I need someone with a very special physique and foundation to act as a conduit between me and Xayne."And you are that once-in-a-lifetime special physique. Through your body, I can suppress my power to a relatively stable and safe state. However, this also requires you to endure the dominating nature of my power."Upon hearing this, Serena understood. In other words, she had to digest the domineering aspect of Xander's power.Xander looked at Serena earne
Inside the villa, the pool was filled with a dark, thick medicinal liquid.These were herbs that Xander had gathered and brewed throughout the afternoon.He also added many rare herbs he had collected over the years.Once everything was ready, Xander nodded.Dragos and the others gently placed Xayne into the pool, keeping him in an upright sitting position.Serena, dressed in loose pajamas, stepped into the medicinal pool, facing Xayne.Xander stood at the poolside, looking at Serena, and said, "Hold his hands. We are about to start."Serena nodded, her beautiful eyes glistening with tears of excitement. She looked at Xayne earnestly, then grasped his hands and slowly closed her eyes.Xander raised his hand and immediately channeled his power through the technique described in the Heavenly Tome into Serena's body.At that moment, a tremendous and overwhelming aura surged through the entire villa.Even Dragos, Drakix, and Draluna could not withstand the immense, destructive au
Serena, with her eyes tightly shut, immediately heard the mantra Xander recited. At that moment, her entire being was enveloped by an incredibly domineering aura and power.This power, like the roar of nine dragons, was filled with unruly will and a disdainful might that defied heaven and earth. In Serena's perception and spiritual world, there existed only herself and the nine golden dragons soaring through the sky. These nine golden dragons were supremely domineering. Their mere dragon chants and exhalations threatened to shatter Serena's spiritual world.Seeing Serena's pained expression and inability to control the overwhelming power, Xander frowned deeply and shouted, "Serena, listen carefully! In your spiritual world, you are the master. Any illusionary existence must submit to you. "Remember, no matter how domineering or powerful that force is, it must submit to you. Don't be afraid. The more you fear, the stronger it becomes. Face it bravely. Believe in yourself."These
At that moment, Xayne felt like a parched land finally meeting a gentle rain, desperately absorbing that soothing power from Serena's body.Serena's heart skipped a beat, filled with joy. She continuously suppressed the domineering power transmitted from Xander and then, with all her might, transferred it to Xayne.However, as they approached the end, Serena struggled, unable to hold on much longer.Xayne was constantly drawing in the gentle energy from her at a faster rate than she could suppress it, and the pool of medicine inside the swimming pool was visibly decreasing. Xayne absorbed all the medicinal spirituality.Only a small part was absorbed by Serena and used to stabilize her body.Xander saw this scene, his eyes filled with astonishment, saying, "This guy has absorbed so much of my power. Why hasn't he reached his limit yet? The amount needed for the Divine Commander realm should be about this much."Xander was shocked and suspicious.However, his eyes widened as if h
Serena had to voluntarily give up to ensure her safety while leaving Xayne's awakening to fate.Otherwise, she would exhaust her own life to bring about Xayne's recovery."Grandpa! Continue!" Serena shouted, her voice weak, her lips already devoid of color.As soon as she said this, with a spluttering sound, Serena again coughed up two mouthfuls of blood.Immediately after, her vision darkened, and she began to sway, falling.However, in that final moment, she saw the unconscious Xayne suddenly open his eyes sharply right before she fell. There was a sharp gleam emanating from deep within his eyes.At the same time, an immensely powerful aura surged from Xayne's body.However, this aura was fleeting.Immediately after, there was a gushing sound of water.Xayne abruptly stood up, rushing forward to catch Serena, who had fallen into the medicinal pool, cradling her in his arms.At that moment, Serena was covered in blood and water, trembling and crying. She lifted her trembling
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
