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

    Cold sweat formed on Joseph’s forehead when Stephen ended the call.‘How could I have known that Xayne is the King of the North who saved my master’s life? I-I’ve just offended the King of the North!’Joseph felt like he had dug his own grave and hurriedly called Robert.Meanwhile, Robert and the other two mocked Xayne, Kenneth, and Donovan, “You were way too arrogant! Joseph might be one of Stephen’s apprentices, but he’s also a renowned doctor in Tandu. People know him as the Miracle Healer!”“Yeah, he treats high-ranking officials and mayors. He even has connections in Drakonix. You must be delusional if you think you can contact Stephen,” Robert’s voice dripped with sarcasm. Although he thought his life was over earlier, he had regained his confidence.Caspian and Wyatt added, “Hahaha, that’s right. This guy needs to know his limits. He shouldn’t force himself to be something he’s not, or he’ll get a harsh reality check. You guys are done, especially Xayne and Kenneth.”Xayne

    “I-Isn’t that Joseph Ambani, the head of the top family in Tandu?! He’s Stephen Selby’s apprentice, yet he’s kneeling and begging for Xayne’s mercy!”Robert’s mind went blank, and he felt like the world was spinning. His body went limp, and he fell to his knees before a puddle of yellow liquid seeped from his pants. He was so scared that he peed on himself.Caspian and Wyatt were flustered as their faces paled. After all, Xayne had contacted Stephen and even made the head of the Ambani family kneel. The father-son duo were utterly terrified.Meanwhile, Joseph’s voice echoed through the video call, “Mr. Xayne, Robert is worthless and deserves any punishment you see fit. However, I implore you to reconsider for mine and my master’s sake.“Caspian’s daughter has married into my family. Please show mercy and spare the Hugos, Mr. Xavier.”Xayne frowned and glanced at the father-son duo. Immediately after, Caspian and Wyatt crawled to Xayne and repeatedly banged their heads on the groun

    Ethan grew excited as he pushed Sophia’s hand and hurried forward, shoving Xayne aside with a curse, “Move it, scum!”Then he extended both hands and smiled. “Mr. Kenneth, I never expected to see you here. Hello, I’m Ethan Brown, son of the president of Brown Corporation. My dad is Seth Brown. Do you remember having dinner with us?”Kenneth frowned and nodded once in response without shaking Ethan’s hand.‘How dare he shove Xayne like that? Is he looking for trouble? Didn’t he see how Xayne removed Robert and Kian from their positions? Even Joseph knelt before Xayne.’Ethan was embarrassed but quickly caught on and turned to Donovan. With a similar attitude and a hint of fear, he said, “Mr. Donovan, I’m Ethan, the son of the president of Brown Corporation. I—”Smack!Before he could finish, Donovan slapped him. The latter widened his eyes and roared, “How dare you push Mr…”Xayne frowned, and Donovan noticed, so he corrected himself, “What Brown Corporation? Get lost!”The sudd

    Serena and Coco knelt on the cold tile floor, enduring the Swifts’ scolding.Tim was outraged, with his bruises still apparent. He pointed at Serena and thundered, “Look at the mess Xayne has caused! Our family has offended the Lennings. Tell me, what do you expect us to do now?”Vivian had dark circles around her eyes as she scolded, “You’re a curse to this family! We wouldn’t have offended the Lennings if it weren’t for you and Xayne. That’s Adrian’s family. If we upset the soon-to-be Lieutenant, our family will be in hot water.”Serena held her frightened daughter and looked at Eric, who sat on the high chair. The older man had a bandage wrapped around his head. Serena said, “Grandpa, it was all my fault. I beg you to forgive us. Xayne didn’t intentionally offend the Lennings. He was just—”"Hmph!" Eric scoffed and slammed his cane on the floor. He scolded, “Don’t bother pleading for that useless guy. If he cared, he wouldn’t have let you two return alone. That good-for-nothing

    The Swifts turned to the source of the voice and saw Xayne storming in. His face was flushed with anger as he shoved the servants aside. "Serena, Coco, are you two okay?"Xayne hurried over, knelt on one knee, and shielded the frightened Serena and Coco.Serena’s face was tear-stained as she shook her head. She wanted to say something, but her words failed her and became sorrowful sobs instead.Coco clung to her father and sobbed, “Grandpa wants to send Mommy and me to the Lenning family. I’m scared, Daddy. I don’t want to go there. I just want to be with you and Mommy!”Xayne caressed her face and stood up, his expression exuding a chilling aura. He glared at Eric and said, “I’ve said it before, Eric. I’ll handle the Lennings. Is all this necessary?”He was furious, and his frigid gaze could terrify anyone. After all, Xayne possessed exceptional skills and was no ordinary man.Eric was alarmed by Xayne’s terrifying aura. The former slammed the table, causing the teacups to jump

    Xayne rested one knee on the ground. He extended his hand to wipe her face and said, “I’m sorry. It’s all because I dragged you into this.”The sunlight shined through the window and cast a warm glow on the couple. The light illuminated Serena’s face, highlighting her flawless complexion. Her eyelashes were still slightly wet as she looked at Xayne with sorrow.She said, “I don’t fear implication. I would have died five years ago if I were. Xayne, I want to ask you a serious question. Can you handle the Lennings alone?"Xayne looked into Serena's eyes and caressed her cheek, replying, “Yes, I can. You must trust that I will never endanger you and Coco. Even if everyone wants to harm you, I won’t allow it. It’s my promise to you and Coco.”However, Serena grabbed his hand and looked at him affectionately. She shook her head and said, “There’s no need to make a vow. I believe you.”Xayne embraced her and allowed her to cry in his arms. He knew he owed her too much. Although Serena h

    Violet’s words stunned Xayne.‘What does that mean? But Serena’s my wife!’Violet's actions were beyond disrespectful.Xayne clenched his fists and asked coldly, “What are you trying to do?!”"What am I trying to do?!" Violet scoffed. "You can only blame yourself for being incompetent. Sooner or later, the Lennings will come for you. When that happens, my family can resort to bribery, and the Lennings will surely spare us.“Do you honestly think Serena should stay widowed forever? I must find her a suitable husband quickly. Serena will become a Hyger family member if she marries Zachary. If the Lennings want to mess with us, they must consider the Hygers’ stance.“The Hygers have a reputation in Shalholm, unlike my family.” Violet had cunningly devised her scheme. She took the initiative to set up a safety net for herself and her family."I disagree!" Xayne said firmly, his eyes burning with anger as he turned to leave with Serena.However, Tony stepped forward and said, "Wheth

    Violet shoved Xayne aside before scolding him, “What are you doing? Are you insane? How dare you be so rude to Mr. Zachary?!”Tony and Royce joined in the rebuke and apologized to Zachary profusely.Tony lowered his head, saying, “W-We’re sorry, Mr. Zachary. He just returned and has a hot temper. Please don’t take his impulsiveness personally.”Zachary was displeased as he adjusted his tie again. He pointed at Xayne and shouted, “Just wait, Xayne Xavier! I’ll keep you in mind.”Xayne clenched his fist to punch Zachary, but Serena held him back, saying, “Don’t! He’s the heir to the Hyger family, and we can’t afford to offend them. Don’t worry. Even if we go out for a meal, I won’t agree to my parents’ demands.”Xayne frowned and said, "Fine, then I'll go too."Violet panicked when she heard that. “You’re going too? Why would you do that? What are you even going to do there?”Zachary chuckled and mocked, “Ms. Serena, just let him come along. I want to show him the difference betwe

    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
