Everyone turned to the source of the voice. When they saw the man entering, they gasped.

Kenneth wore a sleek black suit as he walked through the door, his expression cold and demeanor severe. His domineering aura suppressed Robert’s, causing a chill to run down everyone’s spines.

Kenneth’s aura showed he had grown accustomed to power, demanding fear and respect from others.

“S-Sir? Why are you here?” Robert stepped forward and smiled fawningly.

However, Kenneth ignored him and glared at the father-son duo from the Hugo family. Soon after, he strode to Xayne and lowered his head, saying, “Mr. Xayne, sorry I’m late. Are you all right?”

Everyone present was shocked.

“W-What’s going on? Why is Shalholm’s mayor showing such regard to Xayne? That’s unbelievable!”

Robert’s expression turned solemn, and he felt a sense of anxiety.

Meanwhile, Caspian and Wyatt trembled in cold sweat. They were frightened and in disbelief as they stared at Kenneth and Xayne.

‘Honestly, who is Xayne? Wh

    Robert grimaced with anger. He did not intend to escalate the situation, but Xayne was overbearing.Robert was a member of the Ambani family, with significant influence and connections. Their status rivaled that of top-tier officials in Drakonia.‘How dare a mere Shalholm mayor treat me so poorly? His attitude will lead to a bleak future in his political career. The Ambanis’ reputation precedes them. They’re highly protective of their own.’The Ambanis had handpicked Robert to serve as the appointed president of the Shalholm Medical Association. Kenneth would defy the family and oppose the former mayor by firing Robert without proper protocols.Kian Lively, the former mayor of Shalholm, had received a promotion and became a Secretary in the capital, meaning he held significant power and authority.‘How can a mere mayor go against Kian’s wishes? That would resemble wanting to resign from his own position. Also, the Ambanis have strong support from Stephan. Who would dare disrespect

    Kenneth sighed helplessly as the conversation climaxed. After all, a formidable obstacle held his ambitions back.Xayne nodded in understanding and shifted his gaze to Robert.Meanwhile, Robert managed to get through to the other line. His voice was full of reverence and flattery, “Mr. Joseph, it’s me, Robert. You must save me, please. Kenneth is trying to remove me as the president of the Medical Association.“He even wants to take legal action and throw me in jail. You have to save me, Mr. Joseph.”Joseph had just finished a consultation in the city. When Robert called and told him what had happened, he asked, “Kenneth wants to strip you of your position? That’s nonsense. Hold a moment while I call Mr. Kian and ask him to handle it.”A shadow crossed Joseph’s face as he hung up the phone. He called Kian, who was in his office in the South Rivera province.Kian lit up with delight when he received Joseph’s call. The former said, “Hello, Dr. Joseph! It’s been a while since you ca

    Kian’s ears perked up at the sudden change of voice. He frowned as he demanded, “Who is this?! Where’s Kenneth? Put him on the line, now!”Xayne said coldly, “No need for that. You’ll be speaking to me from now on. Remove Robert from his position. If you disagree, I’m afraid I’ll have to remove you from your position as well.”Everyone in the lobby gasped. Xayne’s words shocked them and sent a chill down their spines.“Is he out of his mind? How can he remove Mr. Kian from his position?”“Mr. Kian is the Chief Secretary of South Rivera province. He’s so well-connected that most try to curry his favor.”“There needs to be a vote from the prominent officials in the provincial capital to remove Kian from his position. Kian might just be the next capital governor.”Robert, Caspian, and Wyatt were astonished when they heard Xayne’s outrageous claims. However, their shock soon turned into sneers and mockery.Robert burst into laughter and said sarcastically, “That’s impressive, kid. D

    Meanwhile, Theodore Luxafall, the provincial governor, was dealing with classified matters. Suddenly, the light on the phone beside him indicated an incoming call from line number one.Theodore turned solemn as he stood up to answer the call. He spoke respectfully, “Theodore speaking. How may I assist you?”The person on the other end sounded indifferent, “We’ve received orders from higher up. Kian Lively, the Secretary in your province, is involved in corruption, embezzlement, and abuse of power, among other offenses.“Remove him from his position and conduct a thorough investigation immediately. The supervisory department's personnel will arrive shortly to handle this matter."Theodore was shocked as cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He responded, “Y-Yes, I will comply.”Theodore trembled after the other party ended the call. He froze before calling his assistant and shouting, “Notify everyone that Kian Lively is no longer the Secretary. Also, bring him in and prepare him for

    Boom!Theodore’s statement shocked Kian as he lay limp on the ground. His eyes widened as he exclaimed, “Mr. Theodore, you must save me! I’ve always been your loyal subordinate. Please, you can’t treat me like this.”However, Theodore ignored Kian’s wailing and waved for the armed guards to take Kian away.Soon, a vehicle from the supervisory department appeared before the city hall. The staff got out and loaded Kian into the car, capturing the attention of journalists who immediately broadcasted it as breaking news.Back at the hospital lobby, Robert looked smug as he sneered, “Kenneth, you should apologize to Mr. Kian as soon as possible. Otherwise, you’ll lose your position as the city’s mayor.”Kenneth scoffed before putting his hands behind his back and composing himself. He retorted, “You can’t intimidate me, Robert. I’ve led an upright life and have never done anything that goes against my conscience.”Robert laughed and said, “Fine, you may be upright, but you dared to re

    Robert paled with shock as he looked up and stared at Xayne. He trembled while asking, “Was that your doing? How could you have so much power?”Xayne scoffed and retorted, “Do you have anything left to say now, Robert? Would you like to call the Ambani family again?”His words struck Robert, and the latter pulled out his phone to call Joseph, “Mr. Joseph! There must be a misunderstanding. They took Mr. Kian away to the supervisory department. What should I do?”Robert was utterly panicked as he had never imagined facing such an unfortunate day.‘Won’t I face decades of imprisonment if this happens?’Joseph mirrored Robert’s shock at the other end of the line. The former asked, “What did you just say?! Are you sure?”Robert felt like crying but had no tears, saying, “Yes, I am! It’s already on the news, Mr. Joseph. What should we do?”Joseph was at a loss since Kian’s arrest was too sudden. He figured Kian must have committed a serious offense.“Robert, you better tell me who yo

    Xayne’s cold and indifferent response urged Joseph to rush to Shalholm to see who was on the other end of the call.‘This bastard is arrogant to disregard me, the head of the Ambani family. People know me as the Miracle Healer, damn it!’“My friend, though I don’t know much about you, the fact that you know Donovan and Kenneth suggests you possess some authority. It’s better to resolve conflicts than to escalate them. Why don’t we discuss this?“Why resort to drastic measures that lead to death or injury? My family will owe you if you release Robert and the Hugos. If you and your family encounter future troubles or illnesses, feel free to seek my help. Does that sound good?” Joseph persisted.However, to his surprise, Xayne remained silent momentarily before saying, “You make a compelling point.”Joseph could not help but smile faintly at his response. The former walked around his yard, saying, “Of course. I’m a medical practitioner myself—”Before he could finish, Xayne interrup

    Donovan was just as shocked as everyone else. Although he knew Xayne had a unique identity, trying to contact Stephen seemed too bold.Kenneth was in awe but remembered Xayne’s actual status a second later. With that, his worries faded away.‘Of course, the King of the North will always keep his word!’Xayne remained calm as he took his phone and called Stephen, asking, “Do you have an apprentice named Joseph Ambani?”Stephan was in Drakonix when he received Xayne’s call. The former excused himself from attending to a wealthy magnate and the mayor of Drakonix to answer the call, “Supreme Commander, why the sudden question? Yes, I have an apprentice with that name. He’s from the Ambani family in Tandu.”Stephen was in his seventies with a ruddy complexion and robust physique. Although his hair and beard showed traces of gray, they did not hide his righteousness.Xayne restrained his hanger out of respect for Stephen and said, “I don’t like him. Please warn him that I will take act

    Dean's wild provocations quickly drew a crowd of onlookers.At that moment, a striking young woman stepped forward, removing her sunglasses as she made her way through the throng.The woman was dressed in an elegant black gown, the hemline revealing a pair of flawless, slender legs that caught everyone's attention. Her expression, however, was haughty, as though she looked down on everyone around her.She was Deanana Lovorka, the heiress of the Lovorka family conglomerate. While not exactly a household name, she was considered a minor socialite in the upper circles of Drakonix."Manager Dean, it's been a while!" Deanana greeted casually.As someone who frequently traveled abroad for business, Deanana was a familiar face at the airport and she had crossed paths with Dean on several occasions.But she was not here for a casual chat with Dean. It was far from it.She had come specifically to see Xayne.This was, after all, the legendary King of the North. Just six months ago, he w

    "Do you have any idea whose luggage this is?" Aava asked coldly with a sharp and commanding tone.She was on the verge of revealing her special credentials—something she rarely used unless absolutely necessary. Xayne had been her hero, someone she deeply admired. The ridicule from Miodrag moments earlier had already pushed her to the edge, and now even a low-level airport staffer dared to humiliate him."Of course, I knew. Xayne, the King of the North six months ago; now he's just a regular civilian," the staffer replied with icy indifference. The staffer smirked. "Miss, do you think Xayne is still the mighty King of the North? There's no war, the capital isn't under siege, and he's utterly useless now. Take my advice—someone young and beautiful like you should stay far away from trash like Xayne. Get closer to someone like Young Master Dongfang instead. It'll do wonders for your future!"Dean swaggered over, cigarette dangling from his mouth, hands clasped behind his back. His ex

    Upon hearing those words, both Xayne and Aava paused in surprise, then frowned in unison.The VIP lounge was clearly still operating as usual. Inside, over twenty people were relaxing—some reading newspapers and sipping coffee. There was no sign of any "closure" or "disinfection."It was obvious that this so-called announcement was deliberately targeting Xayne and Aava."Manager Li, isn't this going a bit too far? That's Xayne—formerly the King of the North. He has special privileges to use the VIP lounge. If this gets reported to higher-ups, we could all be in trouble…," whispered one of the airport staff, cautiously approaching Dean."Higher-ups? Haven't you heard? Young Master Lyuben already gave the order—anyone who sides with Xayne will see their entire family wiped out." Dean sneered, exhaling a cloud of smoke as he lit a cigarette."And even if the higher-ups find out, what can they do?" Dean added mockingly. "I'll admit, six months ago, I wouldn't have dared cross Xayne. B

    Miodrag's laughter quickly caught the attention of onlookers in the bustling terminal. But their gazes were fixed not on him but on Xayne.The "King of the North" was a name nearly everyone recognized, yet no one dared approach him. Lyuben's warning had spread far and wide: anyone who got close to Xayne would face annihilation."Miodrag! What gives you the right to mock Mr. Xayne? Just hours ago, he was fighting on the front lines for this country. And you? What have you done besides indulge yourself in luxury?" Aava snapped with a sharp and clear voice."Heh, I pay taxes, don't I? Doesn't spending money generate tax revenue? Without people like me keeping the economy alive, what would Xayne have eaten in the north? Dirt?" Miodrag smirked, his tone dripping with mockery. He sneered and continued, "If not for us rich kids throwing around millions in donations every day, Xayne wouldn't even have warm dirt to eat!""Damn it! The nerve of that guy!""What's so special about the East

    "Is it true that Xayne captured the so-called 'Lord of Light' alive?" Lyuben remained calm as he was playing a grand piano in the lounge."Indeed! Word is, the Lord of Light's master, Master Emin, was present as well. However, Xander also made an appearance. My analysis suggests it was Xander who forced Master Emin to retreat, while Xayne crippled the Lord of Light." An older man lowered his head respectfully as he spoke, his voice tinged with urgency."Oh? Defeating the Lord of Light… he must have had a trick up his sleeve. Was it some kind of tactic or setup?" Lyuben asked without betraying a hint of emotion."It's said that Xayne specializes in traps and ambushes. Otherwise, Hiram and his crew wouldn't have met their end in that mansion. Master Dongfang, you mustn't underestimate him!""Hmm?!" Lyuben's eyes shot open suddenly, piercing beams of icy resolve radiating toward the older man.The man immediately lowered his head further, not daring to meet the gaze of the young lead

    "Lowes, what are you panicking for?" Zoro's cold gaze locked onto Lowes.Even though Lowes was several generations younger than him, as the head of the Bullard family, he had the status to stand on equal footing with Zoro."I'm not panicking, I just don't want to see more white funeral banners hanging at the Bullard family estate. If Xayne comes back and chooses to settle the score, do you think any of us can handle it? You might not know this, but back when King Quidie rebelled, even Klink didn't dare lay a hand on him," Lowes replied, his voice strained but steady.He paused, taking a long, slow breath to calm himself. "Put it another way, if Xayne comes for us, even KB Kings Circle won't step in to save us. If that doesn't scare you, then I don't know what will!"The air in the room grew colder. Lowes glanced around at the faces of the other family heads, hoping to see reason in their eyes. But then came a sneer.Zoro let out a low, disdainful chuckle. "Even if Xayne didn't die

    "Xayne!" Zoro clenched his fists so tightly. If anyone had a grudge against Xayne, the Eastin family's hatred was no less than that of the Bullard family. Not to mention, Flamey had been killed by Xayne not long ago. This blood feud had to be settled.The Big Four weren't some weak, defenseless prey that Xayne could toy with as he pleased. For decades, the Big Four had controlled the heart of the Drakonia's economy. Every senator, governor, and political figure had to show them respect. But since Iver's death, the Big Four had lost their glow. People who once bowed their heads were now looking down on them. The root of all this was because of Xayne.That's why, after Flamey's death, the Eastin family had no choice but to call upon their master, a man who had been living in seclusion for decades. Every bit of information regarding Xayne's trip to Egenda, his plans, his contacts, and even his flight schedule had been deliberately fed to Lord of Light.They made it clear that the momen

    "In the end, his ambitions were never realized. When he attempted to merge all five Dragon's Hearts, he died. After his death, the Dragon's Hearts vanished without a trace. That's why the Light Order has always kept a close eye on Drakonia, especially on the methods Commander Zedd used to track down those Dragon's Hearts," Joe explained.Hearing this, Xayne was utterly stunned. He had never imagined that over a century ago, Commander Zedd had possessed five Dragon's Hearts. That would have been a time when Drakon Destiny was on the rise. However, because of the failed fusion, Commander Zedd lost not only his life but also Drakon Destiny's, which declined, leading to the humiliations and defeats that followed over the next century."So you're saying the Dragon's Hearts are tied to the fate of a nation?" Xayne asked, his shock evident."Absolutely. Based on our research, there's no doubt about it. The fate of Drakonia is linked to the Dragon's Hearts. Every time someone successfully f

    In the VIP lounge of the airport, Xayne and Aava were waiting for their flight. Not long after, a tall, broad-shouldered young man strode in. He scanned the room briefly before his eyes locked onto Xayne and Aava. Without hesitation, he walked straight toward them. "Mr. Xayne, I'm sorry for the wait. I was sent here by Yves."The young man sized up Xayne, his eyes flashing with surprise when he saw that Xayne was completely unharmed. Word had spread about Xayne's clash with Lord of Light, a confrontation that even drew out a Radiant Commander figure, Emin. Yet here Xayne was, perfectly fine. It was hard not to be impressed.As Yves's right-hand man, Joe Zhird knew better than to underestimate someone like Xayne. His respect was evident in his tone and demeanor. With his status as the top lieutenant of Black Ice Platform, even the heads of prominent families would approach him with courtesy. But right now, it was Joe who was showing deference to Xayne, and this caught Aava by surprise
