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
Xander raised an eyebrow and said, "Xayne, you cannot be too hasty with this matter. The big four are not as simple as you think. If they were, our Xavier family would not have faced the disaster of extermination back then, and even the Emperor would not fear them so much."Upon hearing this, Xayne's expression darkened. He asked, "Grandpa, what makes the big four so powerful and terrifying? Why were you, the grand marshal of Drakonia's million-strong army, framed by them? And why does the Emperor fear them so much? The Emperor, being the ruler of Drakonia, is constrained by the four families..."Xander sighed. "Xayne, there are too many secrets in this. Drakonia's century-long journey to its current achievements and international status owes much to the covert support of the big four. You must understand that the big four of the past shed blood and sacrificed for Drakonia. But as times changed, some people's ambitions grew, leading to the current situation. Now, the big four are lik
Serena gently stroked Xayne's head, crying silently. Xayne woke up abruptly, seeing Serena in tears, and smiled tenderly. "You're awake?"Serena nodded, tears rolling down her cheeks uncontrollably. She hugged Xayne tightly and sobbed, "Honey, I thought I would never see you again..."Xayne held her gently, comforting her, "It's okay now. Everything is okay."They held each other for a full five minutes before finally parting. Xayne checked Serena's pulse and asked with concern, "How do you feel?"Serena frowned and said, "I don't feel much, just a lot lighter."Xayne smiled.At that moment, Dragos, Drakix, and Draluna rushed in, their faces full of excitement. They knelt on one knee and shouted, "Congratulations, Madam, on your recovery!"Serena quickly turned away to wipe her tears and said, "Please get up."Now, Dragos had advanced to the strength of a Celestial Commander, while Drakix and Draluna had risen to Celestial Warrior. They had gained a lot that night. Sadly, if Dr
Two days later, Xayne and Serena boarded a flight to Shyion.Following Xander's advice, Xayne had someone to find.This person would become his ally.For this trip, Xayne and Serena packed light, bringing only a few credit cards. After all, with money, everything can be easily solved. Back home, their responsibilities were temporarily handed over to Ritchie and three trusted associates.Seizing this opportunity, Xayne decided to turn this trip into a honeymoon getaway for him and Serena.In Shyion, without any friends or acquaintances and not knowing where to stay, they decided to check into a hotel.Maybe it was the new surroundings, but Serena's eyes widened with curiosity as she took in the sights. Once they settled into their hotel room, Xayne said to her, "Honey, you rest here for a bit. I'll go buy some necessities and medication.""Okay, come back soon to keep me company," Serena replied with a yawn, stretching her mouth wide.Due to the side effects of the potent energy
At this moment, a group of shirtless thugs with tattoos appeared ahead of Xayne.There were about a dozen of them, holding iron rods, staring at Xayne with arrogant expressions.When Xayne turned around, he saw another group of people behind him, led by a man with a scar on his face, who seemed to be their leader.Instead of feeling scared, Xayne could not help but chuckle.Mangy saw Xayne standing there laughing and thought he was scared silly.He walked over, pointing to himself, and said, "I'm called Mangy. Everyone on the street calls me Big Mangy ."Hearing this name, Xayne sighed again.Seeing that Xayne did not take him seriously, Mangy said, "Did you hear who I am?! Pay up!""What if I don't pay?" Xayne asked."If you don't pay, I'll beat you! Don't think I won't hurt you. See this scar on my face?"I'll tell you, when I used to fight, I'd rush into a crowd with a knife and take out over fifty people. All I got was this scar!" Mangy boasted, pointing at his facial sca
The other thugs reacted and immediately charged Xayne with their weapons.However, Xayne was the supreme commander in the Northern Plains, a formidable force.Even if a group of commanders were here, he could easily handle them, let alone these untrained thugs.Facing Xayne's iron fists, they stood no chance.With every punch and kick, Xayne sent them reeling with bloody heads.One thug picked up an iron rod and swung it at Xayne’s head from behind.Without turning around, Xayne spun and punched the rod, bending it with his strike. The bent rod and his fist slammed into the attacker’s face, knocking him out cold."This guy is terrifying... He's like a human tank...""Someone like him doesn’t need bodyguards. No one would dare mess with him.""Why are you still standing around? Run! He'll kill you with one punch!"Realizing they could not defeat Xayne, the thugs scattered in all directions.However, Xayne quickly stepped forward, stomping on Mangy's chest, making him scream i
Chansol resist the temptation to take Xayne's money. He wanted to bring Xayne into the gang. He tossed a stack of cash at Mangy. Mangy picked it up with a grin and walked off.Then, Chansol handed another stack of bills to the friend beside him."Dig up some info on the guy Mangy mentioned. If he has a military background, he'll likely have a fiery temper and won't want to cooperate with us," Chansol said. "Find something we can use against him. Ideally, find out where his family is. Take control of his family, and he’ll have no choice but to obey."Chansol's face lit up with a knowing smile. He had a knack for manipulating people, understanding that money could not sway everyone. The only reason the Northside Gang had not been wiped out yet was that he had dirt on several high-ranking officials.He had heard that Xayne had medicine, implying someone close to him needed care.A while later, a bodyguard returned and reported, "We checked. The guy's name is Xayne Xavier. He's stayin
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
