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
Previously, those who didn't know Xayne and had been secretly mocking him were now scared and silent, their eyes flickering nervously.This grim reaper was too terrifying.Among the crowd, Yuri broke out in a cold sweat after seeing what Xayne did. He nearly collapsed to the ground in fear.This guy didn't seem human.Xayne noticed Yuri as well and walked toward him.Everyone automatically made way, fearing to attract the attention of this grim reaper.Yuri was terrified, trying to blend into the crowd to escape.However, the people had formed a wall, leaving Yuri with nowhere to run.Watching Xayne approach, Yuri collapsed to his knees with a thud. He raised his hands apologetically, tears streaming down his face as he pleaded desperately, "Sir, I was wrong. I truly was. I shouldn't have made a move on your wife. I'm an idiot. I'm trash. Please spare me. I swear I'll leave Folksworth immediately and never step foot here again. Please."At this moment, Yuri was genuinely terri
After resolving the matter, Xayne and Serena returned to their villa.Three days later, Xayne was studying the remnants of the Heavenly Tome inside the villa when Dragos suddenly arrived, his face grave. "Drakon King, something has happened."Frowning, Xayne put away the scrolls and asked, "What's happened?""Dracarium's branch in Newcroa was attacked and destroyed by members of the Evil Sanctuary Temple. Over a hundred brothers died." Dragos's face was filled with anger, and deep within his eyes burned a raging fire of fury."The Evil Sanctuary Temple destroyed one of our branches?" Xayne stood up, his face showing surprise.Immediately, an overwhelming murderous intent emanated from him."How dare the Evil Sanctuary Temple attack Dracarium?! Does Vitos not want to live?" Xayne shouted angrily.Dracarium had branches all over the world. There were seven branches in Newcroa alone."The Evil Sanctuary Temple sent three commanders to destroy the Fifth Intelligence Division," Drag
