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
With a thud, the devil-masked man collapsed into a pool of blood, his eyes wide open, his face turning purple and blue. Every vein in his body turned a dark purple.Xayne, witnessing this, narrowed his eyes with a cold glare.It was such a potent poison.There was no chance for any resistance. He was poisoned to death instantly.Serena stood by Xayne's side, covering her mouth in shock, her eyes wide with fear.The sight of this man's death was too horrifying.Meanwhile, the other three men who hadn't yet acted, seeing their strongest brother killed in an instant by Xayne, hesitated."This is bad. He's a Divine Commander. We stand no chance. Let's get out of here!" One of them shouted, turning to run.The other two didn't hesitate either, fleeing in different directions."Hmph." Xayne snorted coldly, shouting, "Since you're here, you might as well all stay!"As he spoke, Xayne's figure shot out like a bolt of lightning.The park was swept up in a gust of wind and murderous i
