Peter stared at Xayne, his eyes flickering with unspoken thoughts. He had truly struck gold this time—this man was the ultimate warrior."Mr. Xayne, let's sit down and discuss these issues. Name your price regarding the salary," Peter said. He decided that no matter how high Xayne's demands were, he would meet them."You don't need to pay me a cent. I don't lack money. I'm doing this as a favor for a friend," Xayne replied coolly."Understood." Peter nodded, pondering the relationship between Xayne and the Supreme Black Dragon."By the way, Mr. Xayne, we've prepared dinner. Would you care to join us?" As he spoke, the housekeeper began setting dishes on the table. Xayne did not stand around. Instead, he sat down immediately. Peter poured a drink for Xayne—a gesture reserved for no other bodyguard.Just then, a loud and clear voice called out, "Who went into my room and messed with my stuff?"A striking young woman in jeans and a casual outfit stormed out of the room."This is
Peter's impassioned speech immediately won over many of the bodyguards. Xayne looked at Peter with newfound respect, even impressed by the father's deep sense of duty.Lily clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. She stepped in front of Xayne and grudgingly muttered, "Sorry.""Can't you apologize sincerely? Do you even know what you did wrong?" Peter's anger flared at his daughter's reluctance. Although she excelled in project research, her lack of social interaction made her arrogant and unapproachable.Lily genuinely did not understand what she had done wrong. She had only scolded a bodyguard. As far as she was concerned, he was easily replaceable.She didn't understand why her father was defending an outsider over his own daughter.Tears of frustration welled up in her eyes.Xayne sighed, "It's fine, just let it go." He saw no point in arguing with her. It was not worth the trouble."My apologies. It's my fault for not teaching my daughter better. Let me offer you a drink a
As soon as the car stopped, Lily discreetly sent a message to her best friend, Emily. Emily had hired several former special forces soldiers to wait at the nightclub entrance with orders to capture Xayne. The plan was to have the hired thugs tie Xayne up, beat him, and then send pictures of his humiliating state to Peter. She was hoping to undermine Xayne's credibility.Lily walked ahead to the nightclub entrance as planned and pretended to be a hostage. As she stepped through the doors, the ambushers rushed toward her. In the blink of an eye, Xayne grabbed her by the collar, pulled her into his arms, and delivered a sweeping kick that sent the attackers flying.His movements were seamless and efficient, leaving Lily no time to react. The assailants, now sprawled on the floor, quickly drew their blades and charged at Xayne again. These men, being former special forces, were highly skilled. However, Xayne deftly dodged their attacks with remarkable agility.Several times, Lily shut
Xayne's expression tightened as he replied, "I'll be there immediately!" Without wasting time, he hopped into his car and slammed on the accelerator. The car roared and left Lily and Emily behind.Lily and Emily barely had time to react before Xayne's car had already sped down the street."Damn it! How could he just leave me like this?!" Lily stomped her foot in frustration and crossed her arms.On the other hand, Emily looked starry-eyed and clasped her hands under her chin. "He's so cool! Lily, I think I'm in love with him..."Lily shot her a disbelieving look. "You fall for any handsome guy you see!"Emily stuck out her tongue playfully. The two then quickly hailed a cab to follow Xayne.Meanwhile, Xayne had already arrived at the Willis family's research institute. With a screech, his car came to a sudden stop. He executed a perfect 180-degree drift that left tire marks and smoke on the pavement. He kicked open the door and stepped out, taking in the sight of numerous bod
Peter was suspended from the second floor while he watched in horror as the mercenary leader launched his powerful punch at Xayne. The leader's speed and strength were undeniable, and Peter's heart sank.The mercenaries on the balcony relaxed. They were confident in their leader's unbeatable prowess. They had witnessed his strength countless times as he had never lost.However, the next moment stunned everyone. Xayne stood motionless, his expression calm as he caught the incoming punch with a loud smack. The impact echoed like a bomb, but Xayne remained unscathed. He did not even move an inch.The mercenary leader's confident smile froze. "Impossible!" He roared, trying to withdraw his fist and strike again. To his horror, he found his fist trapped in Xayne's iron grip.Xayne's eyes glinted coldly. "You missed your chance to live," he said, tightening his grip. With a sickening crack, he crushed the leader's fist as blood gushed out.The leader screamed in agony. He lifted his leg
The next second, Xayne swiftly raised his hand and the Ravenclaw dagger in his hand sliced through the rope. Peter plummeted from mid-air, screaming in terror. Before he hit the ground, Xayne caught him."Mr. Xayne, I can't thank you enough," Peter exclaimed, his voice filled with gratitude as he kneeled on the ground and bowed his head repeatedly.Xayne quickly helped him up. "I'm just doing my job. Are the research data safe?"Peter got to his feet, wiping the cold sweat and blood from his face. "Safe, very safe. Even if it costs me my life, I won't let the research data fall into the wrong hands."Xayne nodded in approval.Just then, Lily and Emily burst into the room. The sight of blood everywhere made them gasp and recoil in horror. The smell soon overcame them, and they ran outside, vomiting violently.When they finally recovered and saw Peter covered in blood, Lily ran over, crying out, "Dad, are you okay? What happened?"Peter shook his head and smiled. "I'm fine, thanks
Lily wanted to know. She was now looking at Xayne as her most reliable support.Xayne glanced at her and said, "You'll see soon enough."This did little to reassure Peter, who was already on edge. Just then, a few bodyguards rushed in, looking tense. "Boss, we've spotted several suspicious groups about a kilometer out. They look like foreign operatives. What should we do?"Upon hearing this, Peter yelled, "Block them! Don't let them get in! Gather everyone at the entrance. Remember, this is a fight to the death. They’re fighting for the honor of Drakonia.""Yes, sir." The bodyguards nodded and quickly left the hall.Peter, now unable to sit still, turned to Xayne. "Mr. Xayne, what's your plan? They're already here."Xayne chuckled softly. "Mr. Peter, don't worry. This is just the beginning."Meanwhile, the foreign mercenaries had gathered outside the estate. They glanced at their watches and charged toward the estate. Several assassin groups swiftly crossed the landscaped garden
In an instant, gunfire erupted, echoing like thunder. The barrage of bullets cut down the assassins perched on the wall in seconds, leaving them no time to react as they fell lifeless to the ground. The event unfolded in the blink of an eye.Outside the estate, mercenaries hidden in the shadows broke into a cold sweat at the sight of the overwhelming gunfire and the bodies of the assassins who couldn't escape in time. This was terrifying. Even though they were international mercenaries, they didn't sign up for a suicide mission.In moments, the assassin groups were nearly wiped out. The remaining mercenaries exchanged uneasy glances, unsure if they should proceed with the attack.At this moment, a figure emerged at the entrance of the Willis residence. It was Xayne, standing with his hands behind his back, exuding an aura of immense killing intent that seemed to sweep across the area. Behind him stood a squad of armed soldiers.His eyes, as bright as the stars, scanned the darkness
