Elias frowned, his gaze fixed on Xayne. "When did you figure it out?"Xayne withdrew his Ravenclaw dagger and looked calmly at Elias. "From the moment I slew two Legend Warriors, I knew."Hearing this, Elias took a deep breath and looked up at the sky. "I implore Commander Xayne, please don't reveal this matter."In return, Xayne looked puzzled and asked, "There's one thing I don't understand. With your immense strength, why do you still choose to submit? Logically speaking, with your abilities, you could surpass the Wanx family of Southern Shyion."After hearing this, Elias fell silent for a moment. He turned and looked at Amber, who was tending to his parents in the hall, a gentle smile on his lips. "Because of my wife. I don't want her to be dragged into unnecessary conflicts. Though I am strong, she is ordinary. I can fear no one, but I fear for her safety, I fear losing her."Upon hearing this, Xayne also recalled Amber's busy figure.Elias's choice was so similar to his own
Even he couldn't help but sigh. His wife was extraordinary.If Serena could fully harness the power within her, she would be at least as strong as a senior Legend Warrior."Honey, how did I do?"Serena jogged over, slightly out of breath, looking anxiously and expectantly at Xayne.Xayne immediately scooped her up, planting kisses on her fair cheeks, and said, "You were amazing. You're practically a Legend Warrior now. From now on, you can handle anyone below a Legend Warrior who tries to mess with you.""Really?"Serena was equally surprised, still unable to believe it.She had never had much confidence in her combat skills, rarely having fought seriously. Even when sparring with Xayne, she never used her full strength.Xayne nodded. "Yes. Let's train together for a bit."With that, he set her down, and the two began sparring on the lawn.As night fell, Serena had just fallen asleep.Xayne sat in the living room of their suite, pulling out some fragmented pages of the Heave
Xayne's eyes narrowed as he sneered, "It is death that you seek."In an instant, he struck.With several loud thuds, the four assassins were all blasted away.Each of their chests shattered, blood gushing from their mouths. Then, they hit the ground, dead.The only one left breathing was spared by Xayne's mercy.Looking down at the assassin clutching his chest and coughing up blood, Xayne coldly demanded, "Speak. Who sent you?"The assassin, eyes wide with fear, trembling all over, struggled to inch away, stammering, "Don't kill me. I'll talk, I'll tell you everything. We're from the Wanx family in Southern Shyion. Our mission was to kill you."Upon hearing this, Xayne's face darkened with rage.He hadn't expected that the Wanx family would be so relentless."The Wanx family in Southern Shyion? I see. I spared them once, but they refused to relent. In that case, there's no need for the Wanx family to exist anymore," Xayne said coldly, his eyes filled with icy determination.
By the afternoon, the Northern Plains soldiers had withdrawn.Now, the members of the Wanx family were gathered in the grand hall, their faces filled with gloom and seriousness.Sitting at the head was the recently dismissed Master Wallace of the Wanx family.He was furious, his eyes filled with malice as if he could devour someone alive.Suddenly, a subordinate rushed in, kneeling on the ground, and shouted, "Master Wallace, the five men we sent have lost contact. The mission must have failed. What do we do now? The King of the North surely knows it was us by now."Upon hearing this, everyone in the Wanx family panicked."What? They failed? We're finished.""Master Wallace, what are we going to do? The King of the North won't send his troops to annihilate our estate, will he?""Master Wallace, maybe we should go and beg for forgiveness."The hall erupted in anxious chatter.Wallace slammed his hand on the armrest in a fury, roaring, "Silence! The Wanx family will not bow to
"Ha ha ha!"On the other end of the line, in a command room deep within the jungles of a foreign country bordering the Shyion. A middle-aged man with a stout frame, dark skin, and fingers adorned with gold and jade rings puffed on a cigar. Clad in a green military uniform, he exhaled a cloud of smoke. He chuckled. "Master Wallace, rest assured, I am a man of my word! Our troops will soon arrive in Southern Shyion.""Good! I believe in you, General Richardson. The Wanx family eagerly awaits your arrival."Wallace hung up the phone.Richardson immediately threw down his phone and cursed in his native tongue. Then, he turned to the two other uniformed generals beside him, saying, "That damned Wallace thinks he can use our 150,000 troops to fight against Northern Plains's 100,000 soldiers!"Another general, tall with thick black hair and a beard, glanced at the map of Southern Shyion and the border. "With Northern Plains's 100,000 soldiers currently in Southern Shyion, if we move ou
Wallace heard this and laughed. "The Wanx family has no way out! Today, we fight our way out and live! Everyone, charge!"With a furious roar, the 5,000 Wanx fighters opened fire instantly.The sound of gunfire echoed throughout the Wanx residence.Ace shook his head helplessly and waved his hand, shouting, "Open fire!"The next second, the Northern Plains soldiers also opened fire.The Wanx residence turned into a battlefield in an instant.Ace charged straight at Wallace, who was surrounded by thousands of troops.Hundreds of Wanx soldiers were directly thrown aside before Ace. They fell to the ground, spitting blood and dying instantly.Wallace saw Ace charging toward him and scowled. He raised his hand and caught Ace's punch.Ace's eyebrow twitched, and he said coldly, "Are you a soldier?!"Wallace sneered, "That's right!"Ace sighed inwardly. The Wanx family in Southern Shyion was indeed full of hidden talents! Ace did not expect Wallace to be a Legend Warrior.In an i
Xayne hung up the phone, coldly looking down at the bloodied Richardson at his feet.Richardson, his face smeared with blood and a gunshot wound in his thigh, stared in terror at the man before him. "Who are you?! If you kill me, you'll be at war with the Ardynasty! We have a retaliatory army of 300,000! I am General Richardson of the Ardynasty! You can't kill me!"Richardson knew this man was brimming with murderous intent. The recent events had left him deeply shaken. With one gun, this man had broken through a circle of thousands to reach the command center. It was terrifying. This man was the Grim Reaper of the battlefield.Xayne, coldly looking at the prone Richardson, said, "I am the King of the North! Didn't you want to negotiate with me? We can talk now."Richardson hissed as he panicked, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. 'This is the infamous King of the North! How does he know the location of the command center?'However, Richardson was still a general of Ardy
The face, reflecting drops of blood under the moonlight, was utterly horrifying."Ten! Nine! Eight!"...Xayne continued his countdown, and Richardson was terrified, his whole body trembling."Three! Two!"By this point, Xayne had already raised his gun, aiming at Richardson's head.At that moment, Richardson was scared, shouting, "I'll talk! I'll talk..."Xayne smiled slightly, lowered his gun, and said, "If you had done this earlier, it would have been over."What followed was a five-minute interrogation.After spilling everything, Richardson collapsed to the ground, his face deathly pale.Though he was obese, he had lost too much blood."King of the North, I've told you everything. Can you let me go now?" Richardson asked with terror in his eyes.Xayne, just having sent a video to Ace, raised an eyebrow and glanced at Richardson on the ground, saying, "Yes."Upon hearing this, Richardson quickly stood up, clutching his bleeding right arm, and limped away, trying to flee
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
