Meanwhile, a group of young men retreated quietly from the grove several dozen meters from the secluded courtyard. They stealthily made their way back along the mountain path, heading straight for the Emperor's Pavillion in Drakonix.

The Emperor was busy with his official duties inside the pavilion when a palace attendant hurriedly entered and whispered something in his ear.

"Let Henry in." The Emperor set aside the documents in his hands, stood up, and ordered, "Everyone else, leave. Anyone who dares to enter will be executed on the spot without my permission!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The attendants and maids exited the pavilion.

Soon, a young man was brought before the Emperor. Once the pavilion doors were firmly shut, the Emperor lowered his voice, "Well? What have you found?"

"We tracked him down. On the outskirts of Drakonix, there's a courtyard. Hilton entered it and didn't leave for a long time. But we managed to plant a bug on him a few days ago."

"What did you hear?" the Em

    The three children were the descendants of Warren and Hammond, entrusted to Xayne for protection."Your Majesty," Xayne said, glancing at the children with a hint of hesitation. "It is crucial for Drakonia that we expose Hilton's background and root out the forces behind him. However, these children are innocent, and we can't let the lineages of the esteemed elders be wiped out."Looking around, Xayne realized that the Emperor's Pavillion was the safest place for the children. While he had considered relocating Warren and Hammond's families to Folksworth, the danger in doing so outweighed the benefits. Folksworth could become a battlefield. If anything were to happen there, he would never forgive himself.The Emperor nodded, his gaze settling on the children. "So, these are Warren and Hammond's grandchildren?""Yes. Before I arrived, I eliminated a man named Rory, as well as a figure who had been missing for years, Vinny."This was Xayne's primary reason for coming today.The Emp

    After a further secret discussion with the Emperor, Xayne boarded the helicopter alone. Dracarium would be fully mobilized to capture and dismantle the forces behind Hilton. Therefore, Xayne needed to head to Dracarium's headquarters and coordinate the plan in detail.Meanwhile, Dragos stayed in Drakonix to safeguard the Emperor, marking the beginning of the final confrontation. An invisible net had already been cast wide, though Hilton remained unaware, awaiting Albert's response.After a long while, Albert emerged from a hidden chamber, his face dark as he cast a cold glance at Hilton. "The circle master intends to advance the plan. Can the Imperial Guards carry out this mission?"Without a second thought, Hilton nodded confidently. "Of course. The Imperial Guards have long been under my control and are ready to sacrifice themselves for the circle master at any moment."Albert paced with his hands behind his back. "In three days, the circle master will arrive in Drakonix. During

    "Drakon King, getting into Hilton's home is no easy task. We've observed that just the overt guards are no less than ten Celestial Dracarium Commanders or above. And I suspect that there are also Divine Commanders hiding in the shadows," Draluna reported.Bribing Hilton's household was almost impossible. For experts of such caliber, money was no enticement. They could amass vast wealth if they wished, and betraying Hilton for any reason other than loyalty was even more far-fetched."Then, intercept his calls around the clock. Report any updates to me immediately," Xayne commanded.Since monitoring was impossible, extraordinary means had to be utilized.Although intercepting Hilton's mobile phone through radio waves consumes a huge amount of manpower and material resources, it was worth it for the safety of Drakonia."Understood, we'll monitor his every move starting tonight," Draluna assured him."Have there been any movement in the major military theaters?" Xayne paced, hands be

    In Drakonix, the ten elders of the Combat Division gathered once again in the secret chamber of the Emperor's Pavillion. This marked the first time all ten had been called together since the new Emperor had ascended the throne."Emperor, the Dragonbreakers Legion has been largely disbanded. Now, fewer than fifty thousand remain stationed at Northern Plains. Meanwhile, the northern nations are showing signs of restlessness, and the situation is growing more precarious," one of the elders, a white-haired man, frowned and said.Although many things shouldn't have happened in Drakonia since the new emperor took the throne, the Emperor was aware of the challenges since taking the throne and knew that while many things in the country could fall into disorder, the borders and the military must remain unshaken. Thus, the commanding power of each military theater had been firmly held by the ten elders of the Combat Division.Although the Drakonian Council was now under Hilton's influence, it

    "Master Albert!" Hilton hurried to greet Albert with a respectful bow and personally pulled over a chair for him.Albert sat down impassively and said, "The Lord was originally set to arrive in Drakonix three days from now, but plans have changed. Tonight, you will join me in welcoming him!"Hilton felt his brows twitch slightly. This was earlier than expected. Drakonix was prepared for this, but he did not even have time to finalize matters with the garrison commanders. The Lord’s sudden arrival caught him off guard."Master Albert, does this mean the Lord intends to act immediately?" Hilton asked with a hint of surprise in his voice.Albert nodded with a slight, knowing smile. It was the element of surprise, striking, while no one was expecting it. In the guise of peace, few would anticipate a bold entry into the Emperor’s Pavilion to demand relinquishment. It was a brilliant move, though also a dangerous one."What, are you afraid?" Albert as he gazed with scrutiny at Hilton. "

    The elder tightened his fingers slightly, and the two jade-like walnuts he held were crushed to powder instantly.Albert stepped forward and asked, "Lord, should we proceed to the Emperor's Pavilion tonight?"The elder shook his head slightly. "It's not time yet. We must wait for a monumental piece of news to reach Drakonix first," he replied as he slowly rose to his feet.The aura surrounding the elder was powerful and awe-inspiring, a commanding presence that conveyed an almost regal authority. Hilton began recounting recent events to the elder, who nodded approvingly as he listened. "Killing Hammond and his associates was a risky move," the elder said. "But given the current situation, I won't hold it against you. Three days from now, it will be our time to strike. This is our only chance. Success or failure rests on this!""Yes!" Hilton responded with a firm nod. The elder motioned for him to leave, and Hilton bowed and exited the room. Albert then continued in a confidential

    Bram squinted and pondered for a moment before standing up. "It seems I'll have to rely on this old face of mine and test my luck once more. You two, come with me," he commanded. After giving his two sons a stern look, he instructed the butler to prepare the car as he was going to meet Serena.In Folksworth's old circles, Bram held an almost unassailable status. This was not because the Shaw family's business was especially large but due to Bram's deep connections with the region's three powerful circles. Years ago, he had helped the leader of Valiant Rose Circle survive a difficult time, a favor that was never forgotten. When Heaven's Feather Circle leader was still an unknown entity, Bram had provided substantial support, which that leader remembered fondly when he eventually rose to power. Furthermore, the head of Cyano Peak, the largest sect near Folksworth, was Bram's sworn benefactor.So, despite stepping back from the business world, few in Folksworth dared to disrespect

    Serena calculated for a moment, then shook her head. There was no need to summon Master Esmond now.After all, if these people came to her company, it would likely make peace and not harm the people meeting them."No need, Evelyn. Take them to the conference room. I'll be right there," she instructed with a smile.Once Evelyn left, Serena organized the documents on her desk, selecting some financial statements from smaller firms and their submitted property contracts."Mr. Jean, these companies aren't very valuable. Besides, they were coerced. I think we should return these properties to them," she suggested."For the remaining six, find someone to reach out. Sell what we can, and for the unsellable assets, we'll manage them ourselves," she continued.Jean gave a slight nod, accepting the stack of folders from Serena's hands.Too many assets can sometimes be more of a burden than a benefit.The Bullard family had hoped to boost their influence with a showdown against Xayne.

    Even Zoro was stunned. 'Is that Lyuben? This display was nothing short of divine. When did the Eastin family produce such a prodigy?'Regardless of Lyuben's motivations, as long as he killed Xayne, it would be the greatest contribution to the family's legacy.There was no way Zoro would heed Yves's cries to stop the fight."Xayne, do you see my power now? This is my true strength! Are you surprised? Are you afraid?" Lyuben's voice was sharp and mocking, his tone dripping with superiority. Standing tall with the demeanor of a king surveying his domain, Lyuben glared coldly at Xayne.This was his trump card, his ultimate ace. For centuries, no one in Drakonia had mastered a formation of this magnitude.But Lyuben was the exception.This was why White Blossom Mountain revered him as one of their most promising disciples of the new generation.After this battle, Lyuben was destined to make his name known, to solidify his place at the pinnacle of power.Warriors like Klink or Harq

    It was possible for Xayne to defeat Lyuben. But even if he had wielded the Crimson Dragon Lance, it would have made no difference.At this level of combat, no weapon or singular technique could change the tide of battle. This was a battle of momentum and dominance. And Lyuben had already established an overwhelming advantage.On the other hand, Xayne could only retreat by evading and defending.It was like a lone man being sniped from over two kilometers away. He might dodge the first few shots, but what about a hundred or a thousand?All it would take was one hit—and it would be fatal.Xayne occasionally counterattacked during his evasions, but his strikes barely scratched Lyuben."Stop resisting! Every move you make is pointless! Xayne, you're nothing but a mere Divine Commander-level king. Even if you were at the Quin-Divine Commander, you still couldn't lay a finger on me!" Lyuben's voice boomed with scorn."Do you know how many of your kind I've slain? Five—at least! What m

    "This man has truly mastered the essence of White Blossom Mountain Circle. It seems Xayne faces insurmountable danger in this battle," said Kenichi Miyamoto, his gaze sharp and unwavering.Xander remained silent. Even though his heart was heavy, he knew this fight was a crucible for Xayne—his chance to break through his limits.If Xayne could unleash the same power he displayed in Kaman, Lyuben would not stand a chance.What baffled Xander was the existence of these formations. Many of these ancient techniques had been lost to Drakonia for nearly a thousand years. Yet here they were, preserved within the great mountains.It was clear now—the true mysteries of Drakonia lay hidden within these sacred peaks. Only by unraveling their secrets could they understand why the ancient formations had vanished, and why the Five Dragon Hearts had scattered all those centuries ago.Both the Light Order and Drakonia's high-level officials were still searching for answers.Atop Hundred Day Peak,

    The battle unfolding was beyond anyone's imagination—a clash of titans that defied the limits of reality.On one side, Xayne flicked his wrist, sending his Ravenclaw Dagger slicing through the air, aimed straight at Lyuben.But just as the dagger closed within a foot of its target, a radiant barrier erupted beneath Lyuben's feet.It was not a wall of air. It was a wall of light.The spectacle stunned everyone watching.Air walls were a known force, visible only due to the dust particles suspended in the air. But the light was on another level. There was no sound of metal clashing. No sparks from resistance. Instead, the Ravenclaw Dagger struck the light barrier and instantly rebounded, hurtling back toward Xayne with deadly precision."Oh my God!" What the hell was that?!" Is this some kind of sci-fi trick?!" The crowd erupted in shock.Everyone had witnessed the sheer brutality of Xayne's dagger during his fight with Iver. It was a weapon that had torn through everything in i

    With a mere wave of Lyuben's hand, the entire Hundred Day Peak trembled violently. The ground rumbled with a deafening roar as countless boulders broke free, tumbling from the cliffs and crashing down in a chaotic cascade.The scene was beyond anything the crowd had ever witnessed.All eyes were locked on Lyuben, disbelief written across every face.Hundred-Day Peak was nothing more than an unremarkable hill nestled in the Kowoon Mountain, west of Drakonix. Yet, this insignificant peak was connected to the vast, sprawling mountain chain.And now, as it quaked beneath Lyuben's power, it felt as though the entire northern land was trembling in response.Birds erupted from the treetops, fleeing in terrified flocks. Beasts bolted in every direction as if some apocalyptic disaster was about to descend upon them."This… is this what they call the power of heaven?! I thought this kind of strength only existed in myths! Can a Divine Commander do this?!" Ammar's face turned ashen as his v

    The heat of summer still hung in the air, but something was off. Suddenly, the surroundings began to shift. The golden glow of the sun faded, replaced by a chilling autumn-like breeze. Leaves that had been lush and green moments ago now browned and crunched underfoot as they fell in slow, spiraling arcs. The change was so drastic, so surreal, it could only be described as supernatural."Feeling it now, Xayne?" Lyuben called out, his eyes glinting with pride as he stood atop the peak, his voice carrying the weight of absolute certainty. "We're the same age, but years ago, I could already command the world like this. And you? Even now, you can't do it. Admit it. You have no right to stand on the same stage as me!"Every word of Lyuben was filled with extreme arrogance, his eyes looked down upon all directions, and everyone under his feet seemed to be an ant. To everyone below, Lyuben was no longer just a man, he was something far more. A being who could bend the seasons to his will.N

    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! In my eyes, you are not worth mentionin

    "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
