Haqin picked up four chess pieces from the board and said, "Hyenka is indeed remarkable, but do not forget, there is still that man, Xander! This matter has spread throughout the entire Drakonia, yet Xander remains silent. What does that imply?"

"Xander… is still alive?" The Great Elder looked at Haqin in confusion.

"Who dares claim that Xander is definitely dead? If Xayne dies, the Xavier family will be left with no heir! Xander is bound to reappear. And the outcome—will it be the destruction of the Bullard family or the Xavier family?"

Haqin raised his head, gazing indifferently at the sky. A patch of blood-red clouds tinted the evening sky like fire.

"Do you mean that the Bullard family cannot match up to the Xavier family?" The Great Elder suddenly realized.

"Cannot match? Not necessarily. With the situation unclear, the best offense is a strong defense. Remaining still is far better than making a rash move!" Haqin’s voice was emotionless, completely devoid of feeling.

    "What?" Dragos looked at the map and checked his position again, confused. "Drakon King, the map shows we haven't taken a wrong turn, and up ahead…""There's a word here!" Xayne approached the large rock and brushed away the moss on it."This… is that a word?" Dragos examined the mark, which resembled a symbol or an emblem rather than a conventional word."This is the character E!" Xayne crossed his hands behind his back and looked around. It was noon, and a faint smoke rose from a spot a few miles away."Young men, you're lost, aren't you? Heh heh, Mount Kulun is treacherous. Don't wander around aimlessly!"At that moment, an elderly voice spoke from behind them.An old man carrying a bundle of firewood approached from behind Xayne and Dragos.Both Xayne and Dragos turned their heads simultaneously. Even though Dragos was a Celestial Commander, and Xayne was close to the Quad-Divine Commander they hadn't detected the old man's presence.The old man glanced at Dragos's shocked

    Steam was rising from the large pot above, and while its contents were unknown, the aroma was incredibly inviting."Honey, we have guests!" the old man called into the courtyard.An elderly woman, leaning on a dragon-headed cane, slowly turned around and glanced at Xayne and Dragos.She then resumed fanning the fire and continued cooking as if nothing had happened."Sir, I'd very much like to hear about Kulun Ruins. Would you be willing to teach me?"Xayne put down the bundle of firewood and asked politely."What is ruins?" Before the old man could reply, the old woman spoke up.Xayne frowned slightly and replied, "In ancient times, ruins referred to the tombs of emperors."The old woman turned her head back, her eyes flashing with sharp brilliance, and carefully examined Xayne. "You're from the Xavier family?""M-Madam, how did you know my surname is Xavier?"Xayne was puzzled.At the same time, his curiosity about the identities of the two elders deepened."Hehe," the old

    "Yes, the Thunder Path itself is a formation, and the Mist Path is another formation. These are ancient arrays laid down by masters of the Yin-Yang school in ancient times. The Divine Commander realm might seem to you like it holds power over some natural forces," the old man explained."But your understanding of nature is too superficial. The Thunder Formation alone can block 99% of peak Divine Commander-level experts! Even Radiant Commanders perish in the Mist Path!"That's why Kulun is called the Valley of Death! Anyone who mistakenly enters or forcibly intrudes will die!"The old man's words shocked everyone present."Even Radiant Commanders can't make it through?" Dragos asked with a hint of defiance."In this vast Drakonia, for thousands of years, who has reached the realm of the Divine Commander? Who has surpassed the Radiant Commander? Without the Five Dragon Hearts, it's all just empty talk. And do you know why countless people have died in the White Dragon's Heart ruins?

    "Go on." The old man waved his hand, hunched his back, and headed toward the wooden house.After thanking the old woman, Xayne left with Dragos."Drakon King…" Dragos still seemed reluctant, unsure whether these two elders were deceiving them."Let's head back. Kulun Ruins is indeed not a place we can enter right now,"Xayne glanced back at the towering Mount Kulun, especially at the cloud-covered peaks, and gritted his teeth slightly.When he took the old man's blow earlier, it nearly drained all his strength. This frightening level of power was like that of an unbeatable force.Not even Xayne's grandfather had ever given him such an overwhelming sense of awe.Moreover, Xayne vaguely sensed that the old man wasn't the strongest of the two; it was the quiet old woman who was truly unfathomable.At the same time, these two elders had revealed an ancient secret.It wasn't that no one had ever found the locations of the five Dragon Hearts—it was just that most who ventured into K

    "Is there someone important in Folksworth?" After getting into the car, Xayne leaned back, closed his eyes slightly, and asked calmly."Uh…" Jean hesitated for a moment before speaking with some difficulty, "You could say so, but not necessarily. The Bullard family's patriarch, Hyenka, has personally come to Folksworth."He even made a public statement, declaring that anyone supporting the Bullard family should go to the airport to welcome him, or else they would be considered enemies of the Bullard family. As a result… the entire business community in Folksworth has gone to greet Hyenka."Xayne nodded slightly, his expression showing no hint of emotion. He turned to Jean and asked, "So why didn't you go?"Jean's expression froze slightly as he swallowed hard and said, "Uh… I believe that one should remain consistent in their actions."Hearing this, Xayne let out a hearty laugh. Jean truly knew how to play to the situation."Mr. Xayne, I have prepared a simple meal at WX Tower. S

    Before Harbin could finish his words, he noticed Jean’s gaze suddenly turn cold, and the rest of his words were swallowed back down. Reluctantly, he stepped back to his position."In doing things and dealing with people, one must understand the rules!" Jean turned his head and glared at Harbin.In this group, the real leader was Xayne.Xayne hadn’t spoken yet, so Harbin’s presumptuous interference only irritated Jean further.Seeing Harbin back down, Xayne calmly raised his head and said, "Move aside."His voice wasn’t loud, but it carried an undeniable authority.Both Zelsis and the middle-aged man in the suit involuntarily stepped back."You’re Xayne?" The man in the suit scrutinized Xayne with a hostile look.Xayne didn’t bother answering. With his hand behind his back, he walked right past him.When Xayne passed by, the man in the suit’s face suddenly changed, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.He had been completely ignored by Xayne, treated as if he didn’t even ex

    Xayne didn't glance at the opposing side even once. He maintained a calm demeanor as he walked toward the nearby car.Hyenka turned his head and glanced at Xayne, his expression carrying a hint of contempt."Who are the people behind him? Which group do they belong to?" Hyenka finally spoke."Mr. Hyenka, those people belong to the Leng Group. Furthermore, despite your presence in Folksworth today, the Leng family didn't send anyone to greet you, not even a single message of acknowledgment!" Zelsis hurriedly stepped forward to report eagerly."Oh?" Hyenka's eyebrows slightly raised, showing his surprise that the Leng family seemed to disregard him. "Hmph! Xayne, do you dare to fight me?"Hyenka's voice boomed like thunder, resonating clearly for several miles around.However, to the shock of Hyenka and all the business tycoons of Folksworth, Xayne completely ignored Hyenka. Instead, he opened the car door for Serena, and the two of them got into the car, chatting and laughing as th

    "Many things can be handed over to managers below; there's no need to handle everything personally," Xayne advised.Serena could only smile bitterly. With the Serena Group responsible for national pharmaceutical exports, reviewing all kinds of product specifications wasn't an easy task. No manager could handle all that. Even ordinary employees were now having to wear multiple hats."It's not that easy. We've almost resorted to sending security guards into these roles!" Serena sighed."Expand the workforce," Xayne said bluntly. Given the current workload of the Serena Group, it was clear that the staff was far from sufficient."There aren't enough people who really understand pharmaceuticals. Moreover, the top talents have long been poached by various pharmaceutical companies. We can only hire fresh graduates, which is challenging," Serena explained, feeling utterly helpless about the situation."Ms. Serena, we do have some talented individuals at our company who meet your requireme

    As soon as Xayne's words fell, he took a step forward and launched himself into the air. His body shot up like a rocket, soaring toward the peak of Hundred Days Peak.Lyuben tilted his head back, gazing up at the towering cliff with a faint smirk. Without hesitation, he followed. Unlike Xayne's explosive ascent, Lyuben rose smoothly, his body lifting off the ground like he was being carried by an invisible current. He drifted upward, light as a feather, exuding an effortless grace that left the crowd below awestruck."Unbelievable! Did you see that? It's like he's being lifted by the wind!""Lifted by the wind? No, that's ascension!""Looks like Lyuben's the stronger one here!"Whispers rippled through the crowd as onlookers exchanged glances filled with wonder and disbelief. Hearing the chatter below, Lyuben's face lit up with smug satisfaction."Xayne, take one last look at this world's splendor. It's the last time you'll ever see it!

    "Xander! Xander! Xander!" The crowd cheered.All eyes turned toward him, their gazes a mix of disbelief and shock. For decades, rumors had circulated that Xander was dead. Yet here he was, standing right in front of them. He'd aged, sure, but his presence was calm, commanding, untouchable."Looks like everyone decided to show up today!" Xayne's eyes swept over the crowd, landing briefly on Emin and Death God. His gaze lingered just long enough to send a message, one only they would understand."Xander!" Emin's eyes burned with rage as he glared at Xander."Come on, Emin, don't lose your cool. Today's not about us old-timers. It's about watching these kids go at it. No point in us getting involved. Besides, with so many people here, it'd be a shame if innocent bystanders got caught in the crossfire," said Kenichi, rising from his chair with a smooth, practiced smile but there was a hint of killing intent in his eyes.Zoro's breath caught in his chest. He hadn't expected things to e

    "Who's that guy? Rolling up with that much security?" Ammar glanced at the convoy at the foot of the peak. Even a helicopter hovered above, following the guards. There were at least a hundred bodyguards and they were all moving with precision, scanning the area."That's Roman Roland. Second heir of the Roland family. This guy's no small fry. He's the head of the most notorious crime syndicate in Eukrania. Controls multiple multinational corporations as fronts for his operations. He is a very dangerous person." Yves's eyes narrowed as he explained to Ammar.No sooner had he finished speaking, another convoy rolled up. The car doors opened and out stepped a tall, broad-shouldered man. His presence hit like a shockwave."Why is he here?" Yves asked, his voice dropping to a cautious murmur."He is…" Ammar asked as he glanced at the man that just arrived."Victor Valentine. The founder of Dark Arrow, the world's largest assassin syndicate. The guy's a legend. Escaped from maximum-secur

    If it weren't for Yves's status, Zoro would have already made his move against him."Very well. Just don't regret it later, Mr. Zoro! I'm done here," Yves snapped, his voice sharp as broken glass.He spun on his heel and strode out of the Eastin estate, his steps echoing with each firm impact. From the balcony, Lyuben's eyes followed him with a sneer."Scared now, are we? Pathetic," Lyuben muttered, shaking his head.Zoro's cold gaze lingered on Yves's retreating figure, his expression unreadable but his presence oppressive. The air around him seemed to freeze, each breath turning crisp as frost.That night, crowds began gathering at Hundred Days Peak. They came early to claim the best vantage points for the coming showdown. No one in Drakonia wanted to miss this monumental clash.Even Jean couldn't stay away. He flew in from Folksworth, bringing with him a private entourage of twenty supporters from the Leng family. Their sole purpose was to rally behind Xayne and cheer him on.

    "Zoro, I'm sure you've heard the rumors by now. The emperor is making moves, troop deployments, shifts in strategy, it's all happening right here in Drakonix. You know what that means just as well as I do. If there's any way to stop the duel tomorrow, I'm here to offer you some advice: Don't hurt the harmony between the Eastin family and the emperor," Yves said, his tone sharp with urgency.Zoro let out a dry, mocking laugh. "If I'm hearing you right, Yves, you're here to plead for Xayne, huh? Funny. Where were you when Xayne killed a member of my family? Flamey's body wasn't even cold before he'd moved on to his next target. And now, you expect me to show mercy? "It's too late, Yves. Some arrows, once drawn, can't be put back in the quiver. So, save your breath. This conversation is over! Please leave!" Zoro's face was like stone, cold and unmoving. Any trace of patience or courtesy had vanished. It was clear he had no intention of giving Yves an inch.Everyone knew the emperor ha

    Chad's sharp, hawk-like eyes suddenly flared with intensity, his cloudy gaze cutting through the air like twin beams of light."Elder Chad, earlier, you mentioned something about 'no borders in kickboxing arts.' I'm afraid I'm not following. Could you explain what you meant?" Lyuben stepped forward, a mix of curiosity and concern etched on his face.Lyuben's words hung in the air. His confusion wasn't surprising. Over the years, White Blossom Mountain's dealings had grown more secretive, and any talks with external forces, like the Light Order, were always behind closed doors. Lyuben's mind, however, was focused elsewhere, on the future of the Eastin family and his ambitions.To him, his family's legacy and his rise in power mattered far more than any grand philosophy. As someone raised within the closed walls of White Blossom Mountain's teachings, even his feelings toward his parents were tepid at best.Chad's voice came slow but firm, like the steady toll of a great bell. "There

    Meanwhile, at the Eastin family's estate, Zoro and his grandson, Lyuben, stood on either side of an elderly man.Seated across from the elderly man were none other than Emin and a middle-aged man dressed in a sleek black suit. The man was none other than the Death God of Fusion, a figure as infamous as he was mysterious, second only to Kenichi from Fusion.It was said that decades ago, he had already become Radiant Commander and reached a height that the world had looked up to."Emin, the agreement between us, or rather, the agreement between White Blossom Mountain and Light Order, it's time we discussed its fulfillment, don't you think?" the elderly man began, his voice low and deliberate.This elderly man was Chad Moet, the liaison elder for White Blossom Mountain's dealings with the secular world. It was he who orchestrated the clandestine pact between White Blossom Mountain and the Light Order."Elder Chad, the Light Order has always kept its promises. The benefits promised to

    The two guards rushed out of the Emperor's Pavillion with urgent speed."Your Majesty, isn't all this a bit excessive?" Elder Waze stepped forward, his voice low but steady with concern."Excessive?" The emperor's eyes darkened, his voice icy. "Do you think Drakonia is afraid of two Radiant Commanders? Whether it's the Eastin family or Lyuben, none of them have the right to collude with foreign enemies and threaten me!"His voice boomed, filling the room with a commanding presence. "Drakonia is a powerful country. We are not cowed by outside forces, nor do we bend to internal betrayal. If they dare to scheme like this, they'd better be ready to face complete annihilation. When it comes to matters of national integrity, I will not compromise. Leave now!"Yves and the elders exchanged glances, caught off guard by the emperor's unyielding stance. With nothing more to say, they quietly exited the room.Meanwhile, in the estate on the outskirts of Drakonix's west district, Lyuben recli

    The tension in the hall was palpable. Suddenly, the door swung open, and a young agent from the Black Ice Platform rushed in. "Chief! We have a situation!"He handed a report to Yves. His eyes scanned the document, and in an instant, his face hardened."What happened?" Elder Waze asked, stepping forward, his gaze locked on Yves's expression."Emin has boarded a flight to Drakonix. And Death God of Fusion was seen boarding a flight to Drakonix an hour ago. Emin is one of the Six Elysium Lords from the Light Order. As for Death God of Fusion, his background is more complicated. Two of them are flying in at the same time? You think they're just here to watch the fight?" Yves explained.Yves's gaze was fixed on the ground as he paced back and forth, the weight of the situation pressing on his shoulders. His fingers tapped the edge of the report, his mind running a mile a minute. Finally, he stopped and looked up, his eyes filled with determination. "This is too big to keep in-house. I'
