Xayne overheard Maple's words, nodded silently, and whispered, "Agree. Let's see what game he's trying to play."Serena grunted in acknowledgment and responded in a cold tone. "Alright.""Very good, Ms. Serena. You truly are a reasonable woman. Tonight, 8 P.M., at Golden Phoenix Hotel, in the Sky Suite," Maple said before hanging up.Afterward, he looked over at Lany, who was sitting on the couch and sipping tea. His face lit up with excitement. "Lany, they agreed! Tonight, I'll be counting on you. Cripple Xayne and I'll humiliate his wife right in front of him! Make him wish he was dead!"Lany frowned slightly, glancing at Maple before shaking his head in mild exasperation. "Maple, you're old enough now. You should learn to control yourself. The future of the Eastin family's most elite branch rests on your shoulders."Maple quickly adjusted his tone, speaking respectfully. "Lany, you know I can't rest until I get my revenge for this humiliation."Lany nodded. "Alright then. Toni
Maple panicked immediately."Lany, why are you still thinking about taking him as a disciple? Didn't we agree..."Lany shot him a sharp glare. "I have my reasons. Keeping someone like him close to you, making him serve you, is much better than killing him."Maple frowned, then thought it over. It made sense.Xayne was so arrogant and wild. Maple would have Xayne working for him like a dog if he could control him. He could even humiliate Xayne's wife in front of him, and Xayne would not dare say a word, turning him into the ultimate cuckold.Meanwhile, Lany looked at Xayne, then spoke in a lofty and cold voice. "So, boy, what will it be? Swear loyalty to me, and I'll spare your life."Xayne chuckled as he shook his head. "Swear loyalty to you? I'm afraid, old man, you're not worthy of that honor."The entire suite went deathly silent. Even the temperature seemed to plunge, the air around them becoming frigid and oppressive.Serena was feeling the tension, nervously tugged at Xay
Xayne gently patted Serena’s hand, shielding her behind him, finally giving her a chance to catch her breath.This man was a Tri-Divine Commander. It was no wonder Maple was so fearless.The Eastin family had deep roots. Even a branch of the family had a Tri-Divine Commander in their ranks. However, the heads of the big fours were only at the level of a rising Divine Commander."Boy, this your last chance to kneel before me and apologize," Lany bellowed, his voice booming with the force of his Tri-Divine Commander aura.Xayne let out a cold laugh. "A Tri-Divine Commander? No wonder you're so arrogant. But, so what?"With that, an equally terrifying energy exploded from Xayne’s body.The aura of a Bi-Divine Commander surged forth, confronting Lany's pressure.Upon seeing this, Lany’s eyes narrowed in surprise.He hadn’t expected Xayne, at such a young age, to have already reached the level of a Bi-Divine Commander.This was unbelievable.At that moment, Lany started to doubt X
Lany's face darkened, his expression growing increasingly grim.He stared at Xayne and said coldly, "I didn't expect you to be hiding your strength, kid. But you still haven't broken through to Tri-Divine Commander. In my eyes, you're nothing more than an ant.""Is that so? Why don't we find out?" Xayne smiled casually, his expression innocent yet taunting.That smile infuriated Lany. Xayne was looking down on him. "Young fool, enough of your arrogance. Take this!" Lany, now enraged, raised his hand, sending a powerful strike toward Xayne.To an outsider, the palm strike looked ordinary, but it carried a terrifying force, so intense it warped the very air around them.Not backing down, Xayne countered with a punch of his own.In that instant, the room exploded into chaos, tables and chairs shattering into pieces. Even worse, the walls of the private room cracked and crumbled under the immense pressure.The guests in the neighboring rooms screamed in panic as they rushed to fle
Without another word, Xayne sent his Ravenclaw Dagger flying through the air.The dagger collided mid-air with the sword, creating a sharp, metallic sound as sparks flew between the two weapons.In an instant, Lany spun around, swiftly changing his angle, and lunged toward Serena, aiming his sword at her back.It was clear now that Lany's real target had always been Serena.He was betting that once he had Serena in his grip, Xayne would have no choice but to surrender.Seeing the sword flash toward her, Serena froze, trembling in fear.In the past, when she still had the strength of a commander, she would never have been so terrified by a sword strike. But things were different now. Serena was pregnant. Her powers had diminished to that of a normal person, leaving her vulnerable to the murderous intent and overwhelming force of Lany's attack."Don't you dare!" Xayne roared.At that moment, his fury erupted like a raging storm, his voice reverberating like the roar of a dragon,
Lany, brimming with terrifying killing intent, leapt from the human-shaped crater he had crashed into. His sword shimmered like a streak of light as it viciously thrust toward Xayne.Just as Xayne landed, he immediately kicked forward with a forceful strike.His kick connected squarely with Lany's chest, sending him flying backward. Lany smashed through a stone wall and kept going, crashing into several luxury cars. The vehicles crumpled and shattered, their remains skidding across the ground for several meters before Lany finally tumbled to a stop.Xayne's kick was devastatingly powerful.The bystanders who had gathered at a safe distance stared in stunned silence, their faces pale with shock, not daring to make a sound.Meanwhile, Xayne, consumed by seething fury, began walking steadily toward Lany. Lany lay crumpled on the ground, coughing up several mouthfuls of blood. He struggled to his feet, his body trembling with pain. He smiled mockingly as he growled, "You brat. I nev
"This kid is terrifying."Even though he hadn't reached the level of a Tri-Divine Commander, he had still managed to fight toe-to-toe with Lany for so long that he was even starting to gain the upper hand.This was something Lany had never encountered before.If Xayne wasn't dealt with, he would become a serious threat.Determined, Lany gritted his teeth, spat out a mouthful of blood, and smeared it across his soft sword.In an instant, the silver sword transformed into a blood-red blade, its power surging to a new level."Kid, you killed the young master of the Eastin Ace branch. It's time to pay the price!" Lany let out a crazed roar. With the blood-red sword in hand, he slashed toward Xayne.The swing of the blade unleashed a terrifying blood-red aura that filled the air.To Xayne, it looked as though the sword had magnified dozens of times, descending from above with a force capable of destroying everything in its path.Without a second thought, Xayne jumped back several y
Lany looked down at the gaping wound in his chest where the Crimson Drakon Spear had pierced through, his eyes wide with disbelief, blood streaming from his mouth.'How can this be? I'm a Tri-Divine Commander. How can I be defeated by a mere junior?'Xayne withdrew the spear, pulling it out of Lany's chest with a gush of blood.With a thud, Lany collapsed onto the ground, his head bowed, his white hair fluttering in the wind.The square was now in ruins, looking as though it had been hit by a barrage of bombs. Not a single piece of ground was untouched.Around them, the crowd that had been thrown by the earlier shockwaves scrambled to their feet, some of them injured.Upon witnessing the scene at the center of the square, their faces were filled with horror.It was terrifying.It was beyond belief.The level of destruction was inhuman.Xayne lowered his gaze, looking at the kneeling Lany. Coldly, he said, "A Tri-Divine Commander isn't much to brag about."Lany, weakened, gas
Delwyn's confidence surged as he witnessed the effectiveness of his formation. Xayne's formidable Ravenclaw dagger had been effortlessly repelled, leaving Delwyn feeling invincible.No wonder the Christy family elders always stressed the importance of mastering their First formations. The Christy family's prominence wasn't solely due to their role as guardians of the First Dragon's tomb. Their mastery of ancient formations, some passed down from the First Dragon, was unparalleled, formidable enough to command respect even from the Five Great Mountains.Delwyn laughed triumphantly. The thrill of holding his ground against a Quin-Divine Commander filled him with elation. He had overestimated Xayne.Meanwhile, Xayne retrieved the Ravenclaw dagger, noting an unusual and elusive force surrounding it. Even he couldn't fully grasp its nature. As the dagger's momentum forced him back several steps, Xayne steadied himself, his eyes narrowing."Feeling humbled now, Xayne?" Delwyn smirked, hi
"You're courting death!" Xayne's words had barely landed when a figure rushed forward, grabbing his arm tightly."Mr. Xayne! Please, calm down! This might all just be a misunderstanding. You can't start a fight here, the consequences would be unimaginable!" Luther's face had turned pale with fear.Both men, Xayne and Delwyn were far beyond what he could handle. If anything happened to either of them in Folksberg, it would spell the end of his political career and likely his freedom."Misunderstanding?" Xayne's cold laughter echoed in the room as he pointed at Delwyn. "Using my name to scam and extort people was bad enough. Forcing women into unspeakable situations? If that's a 'misunderstanding,' then what isn't?"As he finished speaking, a powerful surge of energy erupted from Xayne, his aura soaring to its peak, a Quin-Divine Commander's aura, overwhelming and unstoppable. The force shook Luther's grip loose, leaving him stumbling back in shock.Luther took one look at Xayne's i
Xayne stepped into the suite with Yanny close behind, drawing the attention of everyone in the room.A collective gasp rippled through the crowd. The two men, Xayne and the imposter looked nearly identical.Even Yanny froze, her eyes darting between them.Before, when they weren't side by side, their resemblance had been noticeable but not striking. Now, face-to-face, their shared aura and presence were unmistakable.The difference was that Delwyn carried himself with an arrogant, almost oppressive authority as if the world were beneath him. In contrast, Xayne exuded a calm yet commanding energy, one rooted in confidence rather than superiority."What is going on here?" Luther stammered, clutching his wine glass.Delwyn was momentarily stunned to see Xayne, but he quickly regained his composure."Xayne!" he sneered.The charade was over. Delwyn saw no point in pretending anymore as he took a sip of red wine from his wine glass and an arrogant expression appeared on his face. Tr
"In Warren International Hotel. But, young man, we appreciate your kindness but you can't just throw your life away!" Channy turned toward Xayne, his face full of worry.Beside him, Renny chimed in, her voice urgent. "Serena is pregnant! If something happens to you, how am I supposed to explain it to her?""I've told you. I'm Xayne too!" Xayne's tone was firm, his expression unyielding.What he left unsaid, however, was the truth: the so-called "Xayne" they'd met before was a fraud.The problem was that the Riller family had all seen Delwyn. Compared to Xayne, Delwyn carried himself with authority and charisma far superior to Xayne.No one believed that this seemingly ordinary young man before them was the legendary King of the North."Renny, take me there," Xayne ordered, casting a glance at the bedridden Yanny. Seeing that she was no longer in danger, he turned back to Renny."I..." Renny hesitated, unsure.Before she could decide, Yanny struggled to sit up on her bed. Her vo
Without wasting a second, he led a small group of servants up to the second floor at a brisk pace."Miss Yanny! Please open the door!" Loud, frantic knocks echoed from upstairs."Sir, the door to Miss Yanny's room won't open!" the butler called down, his forehead glistening with sweat as he rushed back downstairs, his breathing uneven."Then what are you all standing around for? Break the door open!" Channy's voice cracked with panic, his face flushed red with desperation. He stomped his foot and beat his chest, his heart filled with regret. He loved Renny and Yanny very much. The words he'd spoken earlier were out of desperation and now felt like a blade twisting in his gut. If anything happened to his granddaughter, he'd never forgive himself.Xayne didn't wait for anyone else to react. He stormed up the stairs, his movements sharp and purposeful. Pushing past the Riller family's servants, he raised his leg and delivered a powerful kick to the door. It burst open with a loud cr
Before the words were even finished, Xayne had already pushed open the car door and stepped out. Without hesitation, he brushed past the servants at the entrance and led Renny straight into the estate.The moment they walked in, they heard Channy pounding his chest in frustration, his voice thundering as he pointed toward the second floor. "Even if you have no regard for family, can you bear to see so many people dragged down with you?"Around him, more than a dozen servants stood in silence, heads bowed, not daring to make a sound. Two middle-aged men stood before Channy like chastised schoolchildren, their posture rigid, their faces full of unease.When Channy spotted Renny, his face twisted with a mix of surprise and anger. He barely spared a glance at Xayne. After all, in his opinion, Xayne was too ordinary, so ordinary that he didn't even deserve a second look."Renny?" Channy frowned deeply. "You're back just in time. Go upstairs and talk some sense into your sister. If she r
"Miss Riller, every move you make is under my watch. I even know when you left for Folksworth and when you came back. I have detailed reports here!" Zenn smirked as he pulled out his phone, scrolling through text messages before waving the screen in front of Renny's face."Move your car. I'm in a hurry!" Xayne said coldly, his tone sharp and unwavering.Zenn looked Xayne up and down, sneering. "Who the hell do you think you are? I'm here on Mr. Xayne's orders to wait for her. If you ruin his plans, can you bear the consequences?"As Renny had suspected, if he couldn't have her, he'd make sure no one else could either.When Zenn was having a fancy dinner with Delwyn earlier, he had spilled every detail about her. He praised the Riller sisters, calling them goddesses, but admitted that Renny was far prettier than her sister, Yanny. He mentioned how she'd gone to Folksworth and wasn't sure when she'd return.The moment Delwyn decided to send someone to drag her back to Folksberg, Zen
Serena noticed Renny's sudden change in expression and asked curiously, "What's wrong?""Nothing!" Renny's voice trembled as she swallowed hard, her small hands shaking as she quickly put her phone away. But no matter how she tried, she couldn't hide the panic in her eyes."Renny, what's going on? Do you still see me as your friend?" Serena pressed, her eyes narrowing with concern.Renny's unease didn't escape Serena's sharp gaze. Renny glanced at Serena and Xayne, her face full of hesitation. "It's about someone with the last name Xavier. He's powerful, and I don't want to drag you two into it!""What?" Serena's brow frowned.Xayne's eyes flickered with interest. He hadn't been paying attention initially, but hearing the mention of the name "Xavier" brought a subtle shift to his gaze. "Someone with the last name Xavier? Renny, can you tell me what's going on?"After a long moment of hesitation, Renny finally pulled out her phone and handed it to Xayne showing the farewell messag
Channy had stood right behind Luther, and when he heard those words, his heart sank hard. Both his granddaughters had been as stubborn as they came, but if Yanny Riller had decided to stand her ground, it would have spelled big trouble for the Riller family. This hadn't been the same as crossing the Scallow or Armen families. Xayne's influence in Drakonia had been untouchable at that time.Watching Luther bow and scrape as he ushered Xayne into the car, Channy pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Too bad he didn't know that this so-called Xayne was nothing but a fraud."Yanny, you heard what Mr. Xayne just said, didn't you? You see what I mean, right?" Channy asked.Yanny bit her lip hard, her eyes filling with tears. Her gaze was firm as she looked straight at her grandfather. Seeing that look, Channy's heart skipped a beat. He quickly grabbed Yanny's arm and guided her into the car. If Xayne saw that look of defiance on Yanny's face, it'd be the en
