In an instant, dozens of armed guards charged at Xayne, aiming to take him down. Xayne's eyes swept coldly over the approaching Ardynasty soldiers. "You're seeking death," he declared.His Ravenclaw dagger shot out as soon as he finished speaking, gleaming menacingly in the opulent palace hall. In a series of swift, slicing motions, the dagger pierced through the chests and throats of the soldiers. With a chorus of wet thuds, they all collapsed into pools of blood, dead before they hit the ground. Then, the dagger returned to Xayne's hand, dripping with blood.The hall was filled with the stench of blood. Everyone was stunned, their faces reflecting sheer terror. Kamiru took several steps back, staring at the corpses in horror, then in anger. "Damn you! How dare you kill my soldiers in the Ardynasty palace, right in front of me and the king?!" he shouted."Whether you are the King of the Northern Plains or not, this is an act of war against Drakonia!" Kamiru roared, "Thirt
' There are thirteen elite warriors in total. It's more than enough to take him down!'As soon as this thought flashed through the Eternal's mind, Xayne started walking toward them, each step radiating more power. His aura continued to climb. One of the Grandmaster Warriors hesitated briefly before drawing a dagger from his waist and lunging at Xayne's heart.However, Xayne caught the warrior's wrist with a swift movement. With a mere squeeze, Xayne crushed the warrior's wrist. The dagger clattered to the ground. The Grandmaster Warrior grimaced and tried to pull back but found his hand gripped by Xayne."I'll help you," Xayne said coldly.With that, he delivered a punch that tore through the warrior's chest, creating a gaping, bloody hole. Blood and flesh sprayed backward. He then tossed the lifeless body aside, the warrior's eyes wide open in death.In a single move, Xayne had annihilated a Grandmaster Warrior.The remaining eleven guardians, along with the Eternal, were filled
Xayne let out a cold laugh and threw a punch that met the Celestial Warrior's fist head-on.The resounding impact shattered the warrior's fist into pieces, accompanied by a loud crack, turning his entire arm into a mist of blood. With one punch, Xayne obliterated the man's arm.The Celestial Warrior stumbled back, clutching his bleeding shoulder, his face horrified. His entire right arm had been reduced to nothing but a cloud of blood.This man was a demon.Xayne's icy gaze swept over the remaining commanders before locking onto the Eternal Commander. "Do you still want to fight?" he asked.In the grand hall of the palace, Kamiru, the King of Ardynasty, and all the high-ranking officials looked on in terror. In the blink of an eye, so many elite warriors had been killed. These were the pillars of Ardynasty.The King of Ardynasty felt his heart break. Kamiru's face was also etched with fear. He had not anticipated that the enemy would be this powerful."Longka! Kill him! You mu
Multiple thuds sounded.The weapons pierced through Longka and his men, tearing through their bodies and splattering blood everywhere.Longka and his men collapsed with loud thuds, falling into pools of their own blood. Many of the fighters had their hearts punctured by their own weapons, dying instantly.At that moment, Longka clutched his chest, blood gushing from his mouth. His eyes were filled with terror as he looked at Xayne, who was striding toward him.'I lost! I completely lost!'He gave a bitter smile, looking at Xayne. "Is this the power and skill of a Divine Commander?!"Xayne looked down at the kneeling Longka and said, "Yes."Longka laughed and said, "Kill me."Xayne looked at him and said, "You died for your country. I respect that."With that, Xayne raised his hand, and a gleaming dagger sliced through Longka's neck.Longka fell into the pool of blood, lifeless. The powerful warrior of Ardynasty became history at Xayne's feet.A cold wind blew across the squa
The King of Ardynasty, in his panic, nodded frantically. "Yes, I know what to do..."Xayne's cold eyes glanced at Kamiru's body on the ground before he turned and left the palace hall of Ardynasty.It was not until Xayne left that King Ardynasty and his high-ranking officials finally breathed a sigh of relief. They were drenched in a cold sweat and felt utterly exhausted, as if they had just faced death itself.However, moments later, the King of Ardynasty's eyes filled with a sinister look as he stared at Kamiru’s corpse. A cold, sinister smile crept across his face."Haha! He's dead! He's finally dead! Ardynasty is mine at last!"The King of Ardynasty laughed heartily, unable to contain his joy. He immediately called out, "Someone! Issue the order to withdraw the troops! Also, announce to the entire nation that General Kamiru, driven by selfish motives, conspired with Westfordia to provoke a war with Drakonia! General Kamiru has been executed! Confiscate his properties and eradi
Elias hesitated for a moment before finally making up his mind. "Commander Xayne, I will work under you and follow your orders. My wife has convinced me. She said that a man should aspire to great things. Since I possess such strength, I should serve the country. "So, I've made my decision. However, I need some time to stay in Southern Shyion to settle the matters with the Lyee family. Once everything is sorted out, I'll come find you."Xayne understood Elias's intentions. "All right."Hearing this, Elias smiled, feeling a weight lifted off his shoulders. He had been worried that Xayne might disagree. It turned out that Amber was right about Xayne being generous, righteous, and wise.After parting ways with Elias, Xayne returned to the hotel.Serena had been worried all night. When she saw Xayne return safely, tears welled up in her eyes as she embraced him. "Honey, you're finally back. I was so worried about you."Any wife would worry about her husband heading off to battle. Se
Since the Bullard family refused to relent, Xayne had no reason to hold back.In the following days, Xayne spent his time with Serena. He diligently picked her up and dropped her off at work every day and made time for sparring practice with her.Serena's aptitude was impressive.She had stabilized at the Legend Warrior level in just over a week. Now, even if she encountered several Grand Master Warriors, she could protect herself."How do you feel about me?" Serena asked, breathing heavily as she looked at Xayne.Xayne gave her a thumbs up. "Excellent. You've progressed faster than anyone I've ever seen."Hearing this, Serena beamed with pride.She kept encouraging herself, determined to become stronger.She wanted to protect Coco and Xayne. If Xayne ever faced trouble or got injured again, she wanted to shield them from harm.After practicing for over an hour, Serena showered and changed into a new outfit. She asked Xayne, "Honey, there's a business gala tonight. Would you l
Everyone mingled, glasses clinking, exchanging business tips and insider information.Many had gathered here to learn market trends and set themselves up ahead of the competition.At the side of the venue, Xayne and Serena engaged in polite conversation with those who approached them for a toast.Most of these people knew Serena. She was the hottest name in Folksworth right now. Her net worth had skyrocketed to over 700 million dollars, especially after Serena Group partnered with Dispenza Circle, capturing a whopping eighty percent of Folksworth's pharmaceutical market. Serena deliberately left the remaining twenty per cent to ensure healthy competition and give others a fighting chance.However, standing next to Serena, Xayne was a mystery to many, except for a few local pharma bigwigs. They had heard the rumors that he was Serena's husband. He didn't work and spent his days as a stay-at-home husband, supporting her.Xayne didn't mind the gossip. At this moment, a handsome y
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
