Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1703
Tim and Sophia stormed into Serena's office, seething with anger. As soon as he walked in, Tim pointed at Serena, who was sitting in her executive chair, and yelled, "Serena! What is the meaning of this? Are you doing this on purpose? I'm your uncle. How dare you embarrass me in front of all those people?"Sophia followed him in, glancing around the spacious office. It was enormous—more than 500 square feet, three to four times larger than Swift Group's president's office. Serena had indeed made it big. She noticed that Serena’s clothes and accessories were all high-end international brands, much more expensive than what she was wearing.In the past, Sophia had always been the elegant swan compared to Serena. Now, she felt like an ugly duckling in front of her, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable and resentful.She shouted, "Serena! Don’t think just because you have a good husband, you can act like this. Fortune changes hands. Today, you might be on top, but tomorrow, th

"An IOU?" Tim's face darkened instantly upon hearing this. However, remembering the scene of Xayne kicking him earlier, he didn't dare to argue.He forced a smile and said, "Xayne, we're all family here. There's no need for an IOU, right? Once Swift Group gets through this rough patch, I'll repay you."Xayne let out a cold laugh. "In this world, I believe pigs can fly sooner than I can believe a word you say, Tim.""You!" Tim ground his teeth in anger but couldn't retort. He needed their help, so he turned to Serena, playing the sympathy card. With a tearful voice, he said, "Serena, I have had it tough. The Swift family depends on me. Without the 70 million, Swift Group will go bankrupt, and the family will be ruined. We'll be on the streets, begging for food. "Worse, your grandfather's grave might even be dug up to pay off debts. Your grandfather loved you dearly. You can't just abandon the Swift family, can you?"Hearing this, Serena felt torn. Her grandfather had indeed love

"That's a great idea." Tim's eyes lit up as he grasped his daughter's plan. "You mean I can use my identity as Serena's uncle, leveraging her and the Serena Group's name for business dealings? We can also gather funds and expand Swift Group?""Not just Serena's name. I think we can even use Xayne's name. Imagine, if we discreetly meet with potential clients and they hear it's connected to the King of the North, won't they be eager to cooperate?" Sophia's face gleamed with cunning and pride."You have a point, but I'm afraid those people might not be so easily fooled," Tim said, considering the feasibility of the plan."Come on, Dad, how will we know if we don't try? It's certainly better than letting Swift Group continue its decline. If it works, we'll hit the jackpot," Sophia urged."Alright. Let's give it a shot. You start by identifying those high-potential partners. We need to get to them before Serena Group does," Tim instructed."Got it. Leave it to me," Sophia said, support

"A million?!" Calvin's eyes widened in shock. Such an absurd demand right off the bat felt like a blatant extortion."Well, the project's profit share alone will match that amount. If you're not interested, we won't force you. Let's go, Sophia," Tim said nonchalantly, standing up as if ready to leave."Who would've thought our first potential partner would be so short-sighted? What a shame, really," Sophia added, shaking her head in feigned disappointment.This was part of the act they had rehearsed, perfectly synchronized to manipulate their target."Wait, wait, I never said I wouldn't invest. Of course, I'll invest a million dollars. I just want to confirm with Serena Group first to ensure you truly represent them." Calvin hastily blocked their path."Mr. Calvin, business is built on trust. Your actions suggest you don't trust us. If that's the case, there's no point in continuing this discussion," Tim said, pretending to leave again."Okay, it's my fault for lacking trust. Let
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1707
Hearing this, Tim laughed heartily. "Serena, are you out of your mind? When did I do these things? I don't know what you're talking about. Don't falsely accuse me. I could sue you for defamation.""You...." Serena was so furious that her chest heaved with anger."What illegal profiteering? You make it sound so bad. Let me tell you, Serena, don't be disrespectful. Even if I did use your company’s name, what can you do about it? I've already put the word out. If there's trouble, they'll come after you, not me," Tim said nonchalantly. He had tampered with the contracts so that they couldn't be traced back to him."Tim, I'll ask you one last time. Are you sure you won't return the money?" Serena demanded, her voice shaking with rage."I won't. As a member of the Swift family, you share responsibility for the company. Now that I'm making Swift Group thrive again, you should be thanking me," Tim said smugly."What nonsense. Are you thriving on your own merits? You’re just illegally usin
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1708
Hearing this, Serena asked, "What are you planning to do?"Xayne looked at Serena seriously and asked, "Do you want to take back Swift Group?"Serena was stunned. Swift Group was her grandfather's life's work. However, with her grandfather gone and his past cruelty still fresh in her mind, she felt conflicted. Still, the idea of reclaiming Swift Group appealed to her."Yes." Serena nodded."Then, it's settled. I'll handle this. You just stay here and wait for my good news," Xayne said before leaving the company.As he exited the building, Xayne called Ritchie. "Bring some men and lock down Folksworth Airport. Bring those two back to me.""Yes, sir," Ritchie replied respectfully.He quickly assembled a hundred soldiers, fully armed, and headed straight to the airport.At the airport, Tim and Sophia were just about to board their flight when over a hundred armed soldiers stormed in, surrounding them.Tim raised his hands in fear, his face pale with terror. "What are you doing?"

"Ah! My head! It's going to explode!" Tim cried out in agony.At that moment, he felt as if his head was being crushed.The excruciating pain made his entire body tremble."Are you going to agree or not?" Xayne coldly demanded, his eyes flashing with a chilling light."Yes. Please, just lift your foot. It feels like my head is going to explode," Tim pleaded through his pain.He did not expect that Xayne could be so ruthless.Xayne snorted disdainfully as he lifted his foot and looked down at Tim, who was lying on the floor. "Number two, that 70 million will be considered as Serena buying out all the shares of Swift Group. Starting today, Swift Group is no longer yours, Tim. It belongs to Serena.""What?!" Hearing this, Tim scrambled up from the ground, his face filled with rage as he shouted at Xayne. "What did you say?! Buying out the Swift Group? Are you trying to force me out? Xayne, you must be dreaming. I will never agree to this!""Is that so?" Xayne's voice was icy.W
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1710
After everything was settled, Xayne returned to Serena Group and told Serena about the events without any concealment.She had the right to know.After hearing Xayne's account, Serena was silent for a moment before saying, "Thank you, my love."Xayne replied with a faint smile, "No need to thank me. From now on, the Swift Group is yours. Tim and his family won't dare to show their faces in Venzor or Folksworth anymore."Serena nodded and sighed.Although Xayne's methods were ruthless, they were perhaps the best way to solve the problem.Meanwhile, Tim and Sophia left Folksworth in a disheveled state. Once they returned to Venzor, they began packing up their belongings, preparing to leave both the Swift family and Venzor.A group of armed soldiers were waiting right outside their door.When Tim saw the soldiers, he fell to his knees and shouted, "Xayne, are you trying to exterminate us completely?!""Get in the car," the soldiers coldly ordered, pushing Tim and his family into t

"There are more than thirty of them?" Xayne's heart pounded. That meant there were people even stronger than Horin."They're all waiting... waiting for the Ruins of the Dragon Clan to surface. In the end, anyone who craves that treasure will lose their life to greed. That is the cycle of the world." Horin gazed into the distance with a calm expression.He had not been avoiding conflict—he had been biding his time, accumulating power. Xayne could sense it in his eyes. There was ambition there. Every move Horin made served his ultimate goal. Even forging a connection with Xayne had been a calculated step to expand his influence.Xayne was a lone warrior, with no faction backing him. From Horin's perspective, all he had to do was lend Xayne a hand, earn his gratitude, and that was enough. That was why Horin had treated him so favorably. He had even shared some of his own insights, sharpening Xayne’s mindset, strengthening his abilities. Someday, Xayne might become one of his strongest ass

Xander sized up Fent and spoke coldly. "Fent, will you not turn back from your misguided path?"Fent struggled to his feet, his glare filled with hostility. He spat on the ground and growled, "I will never stand on the same side as Xayne! And you, mark my words—when I return from this mountain, it will be the day of your demise. Just you wait!" With that, he dragged his battered body away, limping down the mountain path without looking back. Stringer and Yeti flanked him, offering their support as he leaned on them for balance.At the Heavenly Water Sanctuary, to the east, a towering waterfall crashed down in torrents. To the west, a quiet river snaked through the valley, its current slow and steady. At the river’s heart lay a tranquil pool, its surface untouched by the world beyond.A hundred feet above the gorge, nestled into the cliffside, a cave overlooked the breathtaking scenery. The air was crisp and pure, carrying the scent of fresh earth and mountain blossoms."Senior, this p

Fent did not dare utter a single word of protest. Clutching his chest, he trembled as he knelt before Horin."How is your teacher?" Horin turned slightly, directing his question to Yeti."It has been a hundred years since I last saw him. I do not know," Yeti replied with the utmost reverence.Horin suddenly shifted his gaze to Xayne. "The secret of the Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars… lies like the self—no thoughts, no desires, no life, no death! It does not rely on the power of the stars! The world follows the Path of Veyara, but what is the Path of Veyara? The radiance of the stars is not true light." His words were spoken softly as if he were merely muttering to himself—or perhaps offering Xayne a lesson.Xayne's heart stirred. Horin’s insight was astounding. The eight words—"No thoughts, no desires, no life, no death."—lingered in his mind. They placed Horin far beyond the comprehension of ordinary cultivators."Magnetic fields… are simply the pull of the stars. They have al

"Do you yield?" Horin gazed at Xayne with a calm, indifferent expression.Fent and the others broke out in a cold sweat. Just a single finger—that was all it took. It proved that Horin’s power was unfathomable. Standing before him, they felt no different from mere ants. But what was even stranger was the complete absence of dominance around Horin. No oppressive force. No overwhelming presence. It was as if he, the heavens, the earth—everything—were one. His arrival, and that single finger strike, felt less like an act of man and more like the will of the universe itself.Xayne was beyond shocked. But he was not the only one. Andrea, watching the live broadcast, sat in stunned silence. He could hardly believe what he had just witnessed. Because the one who had been defeated—was Xayne.'Then what realm had this man reached? Quad-Radiant Commander? Rising Numen Commander? Or had he already ascended to Numen Commander?' The mere thought sent shivers down Andrea’s spine.The Light Order’s
Chapter 2686
Xayne’s comprehension must have been immense—not only to counter Fent’s attack but to transform it into his own. Fent would have easily blocked this spear had he not taken that devastating palm strike.But now, his entire right side was caved in. One arm hung limply, the other completely empty. No sword, no weapon, not even a sliver of metal remained to block Xayne’s spear. It was no different from trying to catch a nuclear warhead.Yet, Fent had no choice. His retreat had already been cut off. If he turned his back, he would only meet a deadly stab from behind—a certain death sentence."If I die—then I'll drag you down with me!" Fent’s face twisted in fury. With only one thought in his mind, he lunged toward Xayne. He would deliver a lethal palm strike, even if it meant taking Xayne’s spear head-on."Master, he's going for mutual destruction!" From a distance, Esmond saw Fent shooting forward and cried out in alarm.But Xayne had already seen through him. And now, there was no turning
Chapter 2685
Xayne appeared to be at his limit, yet in truth, he was far from it. From the Heavenly Tome, he had already mastered the Seven-Star Footwork to perfection. With the slightest lift of his feet, his positioning shifted unpredictably.Three consecutive strikes from Fent were missed completely. The sheer force of the sword energy alone shattered the nearby trees into splinters.Xayne lunged forward, spear in hand, as a formation flared to life around him. In an instant, multiple spear projections erupted outward, each infused with lethal intent, hurtling toward Fent from every angle."Not good! Fall back quickly!" Elder Stringer suddenly shouted toward Fent.But at that very moment, just as the spears were about to pierce into Fent's body, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Fent's lips. It went exactly as he had planned. From the very start, his attacks had merely been probing. Through those exchanges, Fent had already figured out that Xayne's strength was high, but his battle exp
Chapter 2684
Just as Fent unleashed his full-force attack, far away in the Skyveria Cave Heaven within Nindragon Mountain, a young man with long hair slowly rose from a white lotus platform. He turned to the elderly figure beside him and murmured, "Fent of White Blossom Mountain?" The elderly figure was none other than Xander. Xander frowned slightly and said, "Your Excellency, in truth, the moment Killian's descendant was attacked days ago, forces from outer battlegrounds had already begun their plans. This time, they've dispatched eleven Radiant Commanders just to erase the last glimmer of hope for Drakonia. If Xayne dies, the three Dragon Hearts will be masterless, and the Ruins of Dragon Clan will never be opened again!" Xander spoke with no emotion as if merely stating an unrelated fact. Upon hearing this, Horin Tamie, the Creator of Light Order, turned his gaze toward Xayne's distant battlefield before suddenly tilting his head back and laughing. "Xander, are you truly not worried about

Xayne let out a sudden roar, and his Scarlet Dragon Lance erupted with a dazzling radiance. The void within hundreds of meters shuddered violently, while the earth beneath them cracked open with deep fissures. At this moment, the sky seemed on the verge of being torn apart by the overwhelming force. Xayne's aura surged to its absolute peak. "Elder Stringer! Hurry! You and I must join forces to kill him! He's burning his life force, he can't last much longer! Just hold out a little longer, and he will surely perish!" Fent roared at Elder Stringer. But there was no need for Fent to say anything; Elder Stringer and Yeti could already feel it. Xayne was igniting his very soul. Elder Stringer unleashed his full strength at that instant, his sword slashing toward Xayne with killing intent. They needed just five more minutes. Xayne's aura would surely weaken, and when that moment came, it would be the end of him. "Hold out? Do you think you have a chance to kill me?" Xayne let out a c
Chapter 2682
After the relentless battles, Xayne was clearly at his limit. Fent refused to believe that Xayne could still put up a fight. He could distinctly sense Xayne's aura weakening. As the saying goes, "Strike while the iron is hot." With a sudden tremor of his body, Fent flicked his wrist, and the sword he had tossed aside earlier shot back into his grasp. With a single thrust, his blade erupted with a dazzling silver radiance, peerless sword energy piercing straight into the sky. Fent wasn't regarded as the peak combatant among the eleven just because of his raw power. It was because he wielded a lost secret formation from White Blossom Mountain, the "Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars."Strictly speaking, this formation surpassed conventional formations. It was a forbidden secret formation. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a peerless heavenly skill. The origins of the Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars could be traced back to the first ancestor of White Blossom Mounta
