Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1835
The wealthy young woman from Xayne's past was indeed Faye.Even though she was only eighteen then, Xayne recognized her immediately after all these years. He remembered her well from that time, noting her rebellious attitude and frequent conflicts with him during the rescue mission."Are you sure you don't recognize her?" Serena asked, noticing Xayne's pained expression. She found his reaction amusing.Xayne gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know her. I don't follow entertainment news, and I barely know any celebrities in the country. Since she's been abroad, I wouldn't have known her."On stage, Charles had a beaming smile as he spoke, "Ladies and gentlemen, this heavyweight guest has just returned from abroad. Her presence here will have a significant impact on Folksworth's pharmaceutical industry. She has promised to invest ten billion dollars into Folksworth's pharmaceutical development."The crowd erupted in astonishment.Ten billion dollars was an unprecedented investmen

It was Faye Lockwood.The crowd below could hardly contain their excitement.An international superstar at just twenty-two where, she had achieved what many could only dream of.She was nicknamed "Little Star." Faye was a darling of the world. She became a child star at seven, and her career skyrocketed from there. By turning eighteen, she graced the cover of Time Magazine, becoming one of the most celebrated female celebrities.Anyone who dug a little deeper would discover the true power behind Faye—she hailed from the Lockwood family of Drakonix.The Lockwood family was a towering presence. They are among the top three families, just below the nation's four hidden clans.There was a legendary force behind the Lockwood family, living in the shadow of the Healers Valley.As soon as Faye stepped into the hall, every eye was instantly drawn to her."She's so beautiful!"This was the unanimous first impression of everyone. Even Serena could not help but sincerely admire her. "S

Serena was slightly stunned. 'Why is this superstar, freshly returned from abroad, going out of her way to be so friendly?'This did not make sense, and it left Serena feeling suspicious.Still, since the other party was cordial, Serena could not afford to embarrass herself. She nodded slightly, her voice soft and her smile polite. "Hello, and welcome to Folksworth."Faye stole a glance at Xayne, who deliberately avoided her gaze as he pretended to be interested in something else. Her smile widened. "I heard before coming here that Serena Pharmaceutical Group is one of the top players in Folksworth's pharmaceutical industry. If possible, I'd love to have a deeper conversation with you, Ms. Serena."Her words were a clear declaration of partnership.The crowd around them was shocked, some even jealous.From the moment Faye stepped off the stage, she had not spoken to anyone, only offering brief nods and smiles, until she walked right up to Serena. That action alone spoke vol

Xander's eyes gleamed, though his gaze was cloudy with age. He sighed deeply, then stepped out of the living room. Standing outside, he tilted his head back to gaze at the star-studded sky. "Xayne," he began, "Do you believe there are dragons in this world?""What?! Dragons in this world?!"Xayne was stunned as his pupils dilated in shock. The weight of those four words hit him hard.Dragons in this world.The significance of such an idea was beyond extraordinary.Dragons—these creatures were shrouded in mystery. Modern science did not acknowledge their existence.Sure, there were countless legends, and some claimed to have seen dragons, but those stories always faded into obscurity.After all, such a creature was mysterious and fantastical. Proving their existence could overturn many established beliefs and rules.Yet, at this moment, Xander's words stirred a different speculation in Xayne's mind."Grandpa, do dragons exist?" Xayne asked, his voice tense.Xander brought hi
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1839
Xander nodded as his voice was low and solemn. "The Red Dragon rules over death and healing. The Black Dragon, the master of war. The White Dragon, ruler of life and death.The Gold Dragon, master of formations. The Silver Dragon, lord of weapons. These are the five ancient dragons, the ancestors of the dragon race." His gaze grew distant as if peering through the veils of time.Xayne listened, his heart pounding in his chest. "What happened to these five dragons?" Xayne asked.Xander shook his head. "They vanished long ago, lost in the tides of history. The Red Dragon's heart within you was obtained by the Hanwan through a rare twist of fate. As for the other four dragon hearts, they are scattered across the world, either in the hands of powerful individuals and factions or still hidden, yet to be discovered."Legend has it that only by gathering all five dragon hearts can one unlock the gate to the dragon race and unravel the secrets that have been buried for millennia. It's eve
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1840
Upon hearing those words, Xayne could not help but draw a sharp breath.'Grandpa, just how powerful are you? He faced two possible Numen Commanders, exchanged blows, and walked away unscathed.'"When did this happen?" Xayne asked.Xander replied, "It was during the battle at the Northern Plains. It was the day I went to rescue you. If I'm not mistaken, those two were likely after the Red Dragon's heart that Hanwan possessed."Upon hearing this, Xayne fell silent.'They were after the Red Dragon's heart? Does that mean I am already being watched?'Upon seeing the worry overwhelm Xayne, Xander chuckled and gently patted his shoulder. "Grandson, don't worry. With me here, no one will dare lay a finger on you. This world operates by its own rules. Radiant Commander's warriors rarely interfere in worldly matters, let alone those in the Numen Commander. If they act, it would be as if the mountains were crumbling. So, they're unlikely to act recklessly. Even knowing that the Red Drago

At that moment, his phone buzzed with a call from an unknown number.As soon as he picked up, a seductive female voice greeted him. "Xayne, do you remember me?"Xayne frowned while thinking momentarily before responding, "Faye?""Looks like you haven’t forgotten." Faye's voice teased from the other end."What do you want?" Xayne asked coldly."Nothing much. I just wanted to have a chat," she replied."We don’t have anything to talk about," Xayne said with his tone indifferent."Really? What if I told you it’s about Serena?"Upon hearing that, Xayne's expression hardened. "Give me the address."Faye chuckled softly. "I like how direct you are. The Kempinski Hotel, Suite 888."Xayne ended the call, taking a deep breath.'What is Faye planning?!'...Half an hour later, Xayne stood at the door of Suite 888 on the top floor of the Kempinski Hotel. He rubbed his chin as he hesitated briefly before pressing the doorbell.For some reason, Xayne could not shake the feeling that w

Faye trembled as she caught sight of Xayne's icy glare. She suddenly realized she might have pushed things too far.Alone in this suite with him, she wondered if provoking him could lead to her undoing."I'm just curious," she said, trying to steady her voice and squaring her shoulders. "Why would a man like you stay by Serena's side?"Xayne's eyes locked onto hers, searching for any hint of her true intentions."This is the first and last time," he said coldly. "Let’s get serious. You’re not just a businesswoman. What’s your real reason for cozying up to Serena?""Naturally, it's the pharmaceutical market in Folksworth," Faye replied, her smile fading."The Lockwood family’s overseas market isn’t enough? Why come to Folksworth?" Xayne’s eyes narrowed."Honestly, I find it boring too, but my grandfather sent me here to check things out, so here I am," she said calmly."Your grandfather?" Xayne muttered, recalling what Serena had mentioned earlier about the Lockwood family’s pos

Deanana glanced at Xayne as she coyly smiled. "Mr. Xayne, no need to be so reserved with me. After all, I used to be one of your admirers. I always thought you were an extraordinary man."Although it seems I misjudged you, still, you were a part of my girlish dreams. Don't let your current misfortunes bother you too much. People say a fallen phoenix is worse than a chicken, and while that's true, I happen to have a kind heart."Her words, though laced with laughter, were razor-sharp. Each one was a jab meant to cut deep.Her meaning was clear: "You might have been a shining star once, but now, you're nothing in my eyes—not even worth a second glance." Helping Xayne get his luggage was just an act, nothing more."Mr. Xayne, do you remember? Just a few years ago, at this very airport, you were returning from... oh yes, the Seven Nations Summit!"You know, I waited at the airport entrance for over four hours that morning just to get your autograph. But sadly, your security team didn'

"Heh, Miss Deanana, you also know that's all in the past. Even if he were still the King of the North, we live in peaceful times now. No one gets special privileges, right?" Dean chimed in smoothly, his tone laced with mockery."Dean! Do you even realize what you're doing?!" Aava could not hold back any longer, her eyes glaring fiercely as she clenched her fists in anger."Of course, I know what I'm doing, and I know neither of you are ordinary people. Thinking about hitting me? Don't forget, there are plenty of reporters over there. If you dare lay a hand on me, I'll make sure Xayne's reputation is ruined," Dean replied smugly.Dean's sneer widened into a wicked grin, the confidence radiating from him undeniable."Manager Dean, how about this? To be honest, I used to admire Mr. Xayne. Why don't you do me a favor and return his belongings? It would be a great gesture," Deanana interjected with a gentle smile.Upon hearing this, Aava bristled with fury. She knew Deanana was up to s

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
