"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
At that moment, Wallace immediately fell to his knees when he saw Xayne bowing and crying, "King of the North, please have mercy. It was all my fault, it has nothing to do with the Wanx family. Please spare them and punish me alone! I'm willing to be executed! Please, King of the North, spare the Wanx family!"Xayne looked coldly at the pleading Wallace, drew his gun, and shot him twice, executing him on the spot.Then, Xayne holstered his gun and shouted to the others, "Wallace committed treason, colluding with three nations to rebel! Now, I have executed him on the spot! Arrest all other members of the Wanx family and interrogate them strictly! Show no leniency!""Yes!" Ace responded.Xayne quickly got back into his jeep and returned to Western Shyion.At that moment, Lay, Zayn, and Raynard were all waiting respectfully outside the hotel.With such a significant event occurring tonight, there was no way they had not heard about it. It was so close to sparking a war between Sout
The Emperor called an emergency military meeting overnight.In the main conference room of the Drakonix Military Theater, the commanders and generals of the Drakonia, along with the Seven Elders, were gathered. At this moment, the Emperor stood at the head of the table, his face flushed with anger. He slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Newcroa and its allies, including the Nine Summits of Westfordia and Ardynasty, have gone too far! They dare to manipulate public opinion, distort the truth, and provoke a conflict between us and the Ardynasty! I have made my decision on this matter!"Drakonian Council, listen up! Contact the Supreme Black Dragon in the South Canyon Military Theater immediately. Mobilize 100,000 Supreme Black Dragon troops to join forces with General Xayne's 100,000 troops from the Northern Plains. Together, we will march against the Ardynasty!"If the Ardynasty crosses the border set by the second Emperor, start the war immediately!""Yes, sir!" Hammond st
After making the deployments, Xayne turned to Ace and said, "I'm leaving this to you.""Commander, where are you going?" Ace asked urgently.Xayne smiled as he picked up the gun from the table, tucked it into his belt, and grabbed two daggers and a grenade. "Anyone who offends our nation will be punished, no matter how far they are. Ardynasty has mobilized 300,000 troops and pushed toward our border. Their capital must be defenseless. I'm going to capture their leader!"Everyone was shocked to hear this. Xayne intended to infiltrate Ardynasty's capital and capture their leader. This was undoubtedly a dangerous solo mission."Commander, you mustn't! It's too risky!" Ace immediately tried to dissuade him. He was not worried about Xayne's skills. He feared that if anything happened to Xayne, he could not explain it to the 300,000 troops of the Northern Plains or the nation.However, Xayne's decision was final. He patted Ace's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I have a plan."With t
The captain tensed as he and his dozen remaining soldiers pointed their guns at the surrounding jungle, bushes, and ancient trees. A bone-chilling coldness filled the forest.An eerie silence hung in the air, pressing down on Ardynasty special forces. Beads of sweat formed on their foreheads, driven by the immense pressure and the looming threat of death.Suddenly, a shadow darted out from a thicket, raising its arm and launching a barrage of needles. The projectiles found their marks in the arms and chests of five special forces soldiers. Instantly, their limbs went numb, making it impossible to lift their weapons.In their terrified eyes, they saw a ghostly figure streak past them, a dagger clenched in its mouth.In the next second, they felt a warm sensation on their necks as blood sprayed out. They fell to the ground, convulsing and choking on their blood, their eyes wide open in shock.The thuds were getting louder as footsteps approached. Xayne stood there, holding a blood
Delwyn's confidence surged as he witnessed the effectiveness of his formation. Xayne's formidable Ravenclaw dagger had been effortlessly repelled, leaving Delwyn feeling invincible.No wonder the Christy family elders always stressed the importance of mastering their First formations. The Christy family's prominence wasn't solely due to their role as guardians of the First Dragon's tomb. Their mastery of ancient formations, some passed down from the First Dragon, was unparalleled, formidable enough to command respect even from the Five Great Mountains.Delwyn laughed triumphantly. The thrill of holding his ground against a Quin-Divine Commander filled him with elation. He had overestimated Xayne.Meanwhile, Xayne retrieved the Ravenclaw dagger, noting an unusual and elusive force surrounding it. Even he couldn't fully grasp its nature. As the dagger's momentum forced him back several steps, Xayne steadied himself, his eyes narrowing."Feeling humbled now, Xayne?" Delwyn smirked, hi
"You're courting death!" Xayne's words had barely landed when a figure rushed forward, grabbing his arm tightly."Mr. Xayne! Please, calm down! This might all just be a misunderstanding. You can't start a fight here, the consequences would be unimaginable!" Luther's face had turned pale with fear.Both men, Xayne and Delwyn were far beyond what he could handle. If anything happened to either of them in Folksberg, it would spell the end of his political career and likely his freedom."Misunderstanding?" Xayne's cold laughter echoed in the room as he pointed at Delwyn. "Using my name to scam and extort people was bad enough. Forcing women into unspeakable situations? If that's a 'misunderstanding,' then what isn't?"As he finished speaking, a powerful surge of energy erupted from Xayne, his aura soaring to its peak, a Quin-Divine Commander's aura, overwhelming and unstoppable. The force shook Luther's grip loose, leaving him stumbling back in shock.Luther took one look at Xayne's i
Xayne stepped into the suite with Yanny close behind, drawing the attention of everyone in the room.A collective gasp rippled through the crowd. The two men, Xayne and the imposter looked nearly identical.Even Yanny froze, her eyes darting between them.Before, when they weren't side by side, their resemblance had been noticeable but not striking. Now, face-to-face, their shared aura and presence were unmistakable.The difference was that Delwyn carried himself with an arrogant, almost oppressive authority as if the world were beneath him. In contrast, Xayne exuded a calm yet commanding energy, one rooted in confidence rather than superiority."What is going on here?" Luther stammered, clutching his wine glass.Delwyn was momentarily stunned to see Xayne, but he quickly regained his composure."Xayne!" he sneered.The charade was over. Delwyn saw no point in pretending anymore as he took a sip of red wine from his wine glass and an arrogant expression appeared on his face. Tr
"In Warren International Hotel. But, young man, we appreciate your kindness but you can't just throw your life away!" Channy turned toward Xayne, his face full of worry.Beside him, Renny chimed in, her voice urgent. "Serena is pregnant! If something happens to you, how am I supposed to explain it to her?""I've told you. I'm Xayne too!" Xayne's tone was firm, his expression unyielding.What he left unsaid, however, was the truth: the so-called "Xayne" they'd met before was a fraud.The problem was that the Riller family had all seen Delwyn. Compared to Xayne, Delwyn carried himself with authority and charisma far superior to Xayne.No one believed that this seemingly ordinary young man before them was the legendary King of the North."Renny, take me there," Xayne ordered, casting a glance at the bedridden Yanny. Seeing that she was no longer in danger, he turned back to Renny."I..." Renny hesitated, unsure.Before she could decide, Yanny struggled to sit up on her bed. Her vo
Without wasting a second, he led a small group of servants up to the second floor at a brisk pace."Miss Yanny! Please open the door!" Loud, frantic knocks echoed from upstairs."Sir, the door to Miss Yanny's room won't open!" the butler called down, his forehead glistening with sweat as he rushed back downstairs, his breathing uneven."Then what are you all standing around for? Break the door open!" Channy's voice cracked with panic, his face flushed red with desperation. He stomped his foot and beat his chest, his heart filled with regret. He loved Renny and Yanny very much. The words he'd spoken earlier were out of desperation and now felt like a blade twisting in his gut. If anything happened to his granddaughter, he'd never forgive himself.Xayne didn't wait for anyone else to react. He stormed up the stairs, his movements sharp and purposeful. Pushing past the Riller family's servants, he raised his leg and delivered a powerful kick to the door. It burst open with a loud cr
Before the words were even finished, Xayne had already pushed open the car door and stepped out. Without hesitation, he brushed past the servants at the entrance and led Renny straight into the estate.The moment they walked in, they heard Channy pounding his chest in frustration, his voice thundering as he pointed toward the second floor. "Even if you have no regard for family, can you bear to see so many people dragged down with you?"Around him, more than a dozen servants stood in silence, heads bowed, not daring to make a sound. Two middle-aged men stood before Channy like chastised schoolchildren, their posture rigid, their faces full of unease.When Channy spotted Renny, his face twisted with a mix of surprise and anger. He barely spared a glance at Xayne. After all, in his opinion, Xayne was too ordinary, so ordinary that he didn't even deserve a second look."Renny?" Channy frowned deeply. "You're back just in time. Go upstairs and talk some sense into your sister. If she r
"Miss Riller, every move you make is under my watch. I even know when you left for Folksworth and when you came back. I have detailed reports here!" Zenn smirked as he pulled out his phone, scrolling through text messages before waving the screen in front of Renny's face."Move your car. I'm in a hurry!" Xayne said coldly, his tone sharp and unwavering.Zenn looked Xayne up and down, sneering. "Who the hell do you think you are? I'm here on Mr. Xayne's orders to wait for her. If you ruin his plans, can you bear the consequences?"As Renny had suspected, if he couldn't have her, he'd make sure no one else could either.When Zenn was having a fancy dinner with Delwyn earlier, he had spilled every detail about her. He praised the Riller sisters, calling them goddesses, but admitted that Renny was far prettier than her sister, Yanny. He mentioned how she'd gone to Folksworth and wasn't sure when she'd return.The moment Delwyn decided to send someone to drag her back to Folksberg, Zen
Serena noticed Renny's sudden change in expression and asked curiously, "What's wrong?""Nothing!" Renny's voice trembled as she swallowed hard, her small hands shaking as she quickly put her phone away. But no matter how she tried, she couldn't hide the panic in her eyes."Renny, what's going on? Do you still see me as your friend?" Serena pressed, her eyes narrowing with concern.Renny's unease didn't escape Serena's sharp gaze. Renny glanced at Serena and Xayne, her face full of hesitation. "It's about someone with the last name Xavier. He's powerful, and I don't want to drag you two into it!""What?" Serena's brow frowned.Xayne's eyes flickered with interest. He hadn't been paying attention initially, but hearing the mention of the name "Xavier" brought a subtle shift to his gaze. "Someone with the last name Xavier? Renny, can you tell me what's going on?"After a long moment of hesitation, Renny finally pulled out her phone and handed it to Xayne showing the farewell messag
Channy had stood right behind Luther, and when he heard those words, his heart sank hard. Both his granddaughters had been as stubborn as they came, but if Yanny Riller had decided to stand her ground, it would have spelled big trouble for the Riller family. This hadn't been the same as crossing the Scallow or Armen families. Xayne's influence in Drakonia had been untouchable at that time.Watching Luther bow and scrape as he ushered Xayne into the car, Channy pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Too bad he didn't know that this so-called Xayne was nothing but a fraud."Yanny, you heard what Mr. Xayne just said, didn't you? You see what I mean, right?" Channy asked.Yanny bit her lip hard, her eyes filling with tears. Her gaze was firm as she looked straight at her grandfather. Seeing that look, Channy's heart skipped a beat. He quickly grabbed Yanny's arm and guided her into the car. If Xayne saw that look of defiance on Yanny's face, it'd be the en
