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
At this moment, Yuri was livid. As the second son of the Tonge family from Kingston, he had been pampered all his life, never having faced humiliation, let alone having red wine thrown in his face. His usual charm and good looks always won over countless admirers eager to please him. Yet, today, Serena had splashed wine all over his face. This was an affront. It was a grace.Yuri's anger boiled over. He was used to humiliating others, never the other way around. The idea that Serena, the CEO of Serena Group in Folksworth, had dared to treat him this way filled him with a burning desire to dominate her. He wanted to make her beg at his feet, to reclaim his sense of power."You bitch. How dare you throw wine at me? Do you even know who I am? I'm Yuri, the second son of the Tonge family from Kingston," Yuri barked, taking the towel offered by a waiter and roughly wiping the wine off his face. His eyes glared at Serena with a menacing look.Serena met his gaze coldly. "I do now. H
This darned woman actually had the audacity to ignore him.'All right, I see how it is,' Yuri thought. A difficult woman like her was exactly his type. The thrill of subduing her would be immensely satisfying.Without warning, Yuri lunged, grabbing for Serena's shoulder to pull her back. However, Serena sensed his move, sidestepped and seized his wrist, twisting it sharply.A loud crack echoed through the venue. Serena had just broken Yuri's wrist."Ahhh!" Yuri screamed in agony, clutching his broken wrist, his face turning crimson as he staggered backward. He glared at Serena with a venomous hatred, shouting, "You bitch! How dare you break my wrist?! I'll kill you! I'll make you kneel and beg for mercy. I'll make you suffer, bitch."The guests surrounding them were left with their mouths agape, eyes wide in shock at what had just transpired. Serena had broken Yuri's wrist. Serena was more ruthless than they had imagined.Xayne, too, was taken aback by Serena's response. He h
Xayne and Serena walked out of the venue, hand in hand, heading toward a nearby park. It had been a while since they had such a relaxed stroll together, and both were savoring the moment.Serena was still fuming. "Yuri is despicable. Just because he's wealthy and powerful, he thinks he can insult women like that. If I see him again, I'll make sure to beat him up even more."Serena's eyes sparkled with determination as she clenched her fists. Xayne glanced at her and chuckled. "You handled it well enough already."Serena sighed, looking at Xayne. "Honey, I’m sorry. Was I too impulsive back there? Will it cause trouble for the company?"Reflecting on the incident, Serena worried she might have been too rash. After all, Yuri was the second son of the influential Tonge family from Kingston. Crossing them wouldn’t be without consequences.Xayne took her delicate hand in his, speaking softly, "Don’t worry about it. It’s just the Tonge family. If they overstep, I’ll take care of it. You
The four assassins exchanged a glance, their eyes gleaming with malice as they launched their attack on Xayne.Like a panther in the night, the man in the devil mask pulled out a dagger gleaming with cold light from his wide sleeve, aiming precisely at Xayne’s back.At that moment, the dagger reflected the pale crescent moon in the sky, emitting a sharp sound as it cut through the air."Got him!" Seeing the dagger only two meters from Xayne, the devil mask man grinned with delight.Two meters was nothing for a Legend Warrior. It's just a blink of an eye. No matter how strong Xayne was, he couldn’t possibly react in such a short distance against a Legend Warrior’s attack.This mission turned out to be surprisingly simple. Despite rumors of Xayne's strength, he hadn’t even noticed the danger.This was good news for them. The quicker they finished, the sooner they could report back.However, just as the devil mask man was celebrating, the tall, imposing figure in front of him sudde
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
