Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1977
Xayne and his family carried on their conversation as if the dozens of pharmaceutical company CEOs around them didn't exist."Are we being ignored?"A few of the top-ranking CEOs in Folksworth stepped forward, yelling angrily, "You’ll pay for what you did today."Xayne glanced at them coldly. "Oh? And which company are you from?" he asked."ProHealth Pharmaceuticals." The CEO puffed out his chest proudly."Good," Xayne replied calmly. "In three days, ProHealth Pharmaceuticals will cease to exist in the industry.""You…" The man was furious.Xayne raised his hand slightly, dismissing the man without even sparing him another glance. Turning to the waiter, he said, "Just serve the dishes I ordered earlier.""Yes, sir." The waiter bowed and left with the menu.Recalling how Lionel had rolled to the door earlier, the other CEOs thought twice about pushing their luck. After a few huffs and grumbles, they grudgingly sat down near Dewdrop Platform, fuming but keeping their distance.

Xayne's words were clear. By tomorrow morning, if the Seventh Elder didn't kneel and apologize at Serena Group headquarters, the consequences would be severe."Xayne, do you think you're still the King of the North? How dare you demand the Seventh Elder to kneel and apologize in front of Serena Group's office? What a joke. Let me tell you, in two days, Serena…" Lionel, in his anger, almost blurted out Healers Valley's secret meeting decisions.The Seventh Elder shot him a glare, and Lionel quickly realized his mistake. He swallowed his words, sitting back down with a nervous gulp.Xayne continued calmly, "If you're not there tomorrow morning, then you'll have to gather all the media in Folksworth and apologize in front of them instead. Foolishness in old age harms Healers Valley."With that, Xayne, carrying Coco in one arm and holding Serena's hand with the other, strode out of Skyvilla Pavilion."Xayne!" The Seventh Elder was so furious he nearly overturned the table. It took him

Though the Seventh Elder was a member of Healers Valley, his status was still too low. For such an important matter, at least the Grand Elder should have been sent.After finishing his last drink, the Seventh Elder solemnly sent an inquiry to Healers Valley but the response only deepened his unease. United Med hadn't informed anyone from Healers Valley about the signing.He wondered if it could be that Layce knew he was in Folksworth. Perhaps he thought the Seventh Elder could represent the Healers Valley. These foreigners were reckless in their dealings. For something so significant, they should at least have notified Healers Valley.The next morning, Serena stood before her wardrobe, changing into a white business suit. After adjusting her look in the mirror, she turned and saw Xayne just finishing up his grooming."Honey, do you think this outfit looks better, or should I go with the black one?" She still seemed uncertain about her attire, especially since she was about to mee

"Cannot sign?"Layce and his foreign secretary were taken aback. The conditions they offered Serena Group were not just generous, they were nothing short of astonishing. If other pharmaceutical companies saw this contract, they would surely be envious. Yet, Serena had refused. They didn't know how to explain after they went back."Ms. Serena, is there something wrong with the agreement we provided? If you have any requirements, feel free to mention them," Layce said, putting on a smiling face and trying to appease her.Xayne was also puzzled, looking at Serena. He knew the contents of the agreement without needing to see it. Serena had no reason to refuse."The terms you offered are very generous. I can't find any fault with them. But because the terms are so favorable, I don't want to sign," Serena said, biting her lip.Seeing such good conditions, Serena couldn't help but think back to a previous experience where similarly generous terms almost led her into a trap. The better

"Alright, I agree to share the formula with your company."Seeing Serena nod in agreement, Layce stood up excitedly and shook her hand vigorously. "Thank you so much. Ms. Serena, you are the sincerest friend of United Med."Layce's secretary quickly grabbed a laptop, inputting the terms they just discussed into the contract, then printed a new copy to hand to Serena."What do you think, honey?" Serena turned to Xayne."I think it's a good deal, and the terms are indeed favorable." Xayne smiled.Reassured by Xayne's support, Serena picked up her pen and signed the contract, sealing it with the company stamp before handing it to Layce."Ms. Serena, here's to our swift cooperation." Layce stood, shaking her hand formally.As they prepared to leave, he reminded Serena not to forget the signing ceremony at the Pharmaceutical Association at 3 P.M.This ceremony was essentially an announcement to the pharmaceutical industry in Drakonia that United Med had found its sole partner. It al

Layce maintained a calm expression as he shook hands with the Seventh Elder, deliberately creating distance between them. With a smile, he said, "Hello, long time no see. You're looking as strong as ever.""It's all thanks to you. But why is this signing ceremony so sudden?" Seventh Elder asked, bowing slightly in a show of respect.Layce's demeanor shifted as he frowned. "What's wrong? Does United Med's decision require approval from Healers Valley?"The Seventh Elder quickly shook his head. "No, that's not what I meant.""Then, I need to get going." Layce gestured toward the main stage, politely nodded to the Seventh Elder, and strode forward."Look at that, it's clear that people from Healers Valley are well acquainted with United Med's representatives.""If not, why would Seventh Elder be so confident?""Lucky we severed ties with Serena Group early on. Otherwise, we'd be in a bad spot."Several executives from pharmaceutical companies that had previously collaborated with

Ken, the CEO of Big Vita Pharmaceuticals, stood with his arms crossed, a smug look on his face. He was one of the first to cut ties with Serena Group, now eagerly trying to ingratiate himself with the Seventh Elder, especially as the signing with Healers Valley and United Med approached."Your company name suits your character well." Xayne shot back with a cold smile."And you're trash," Ken spat angrily, causing several reporters to chuckle at the exchange. Xayne's comment about the fitting names struck a chord."Xayne, you have five minutes until the signing ceremony begins. Here's your last chance, kneel and apologize to me. If I'm in a good mood, I might let you keep half of your market share," the Seventh Elder proclaimed, striding out from the crowd with an air of superiority."Even if our company were to collapse, you won't make my husband apologize. You only know how to bully others. Why should we give you half our market share?" Serena countered defiantly, repeating the t

"Ms. Serena, please watch your step as you approach the stage," Layce said courteously.As they reached the podium, Xayne released Serena's hand, encouraging her to go up alone. Serena glanced back at him, her expression a mix of nervousness and determination. Taking a deep breath, she stepped up the stairs."Let's give a warm welcome to Ms. Serena." Layce began to clap, setting off a round of applause.As Serena took the stage and shook hands with Layce, the cameras clicked and rolled, capturing this historic moment in the annals of Drakonia's pharmaceutical industry."Wait a moment." A discordant voice suddenly interrupted as the Seventh Elder and Lionel stormed onto the stage, their faces dark and determined.They were hell-bent on disrupting the signing ceremony, unwilling to let Serena's company become United Med's sole partner.The Seventh Elder strode forward, puffing out his chest, and addressed Layce with an air of authority. "I have a few questions for you, Mr. Layce.

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
