Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2135
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. Une

Silas and his brother were left speechless by Serena's pointed questions.Beside her, Jean also rose, saying, "As I recall, it was the two of you who first suggested carving up the Serena Group. You both seemed quite thrilled about it back then. Where was this lack of choice?""Jean! No one asked for your input!" Amos snapped, his gaze icy.Jean smirked. "Mr. Bram, if this were a few days ago, I'd hardly have the right to speak to you this way. But times change, and now you'll need to answer for your words and actions."Mr. Xayne is a fair man, only asking you to hand over your assets while sparing your lives. That's about as generous as it gets."Before Jean could finish, Bram slammed the table as his old eyes blazed with cold fury. The weight of his authority bore down on Jean like a suffocating shadow.Although Bram said nothing, Jean felt the unspoken pressure."Ms. Serena," Bram finally spoke with a smooth yet commanding tone, "I believe our conversation here doesn't requir

Upon hearing Bram’s threat, Serena paused, glancing back at him with a steely gaze. “The day the Shaw family decided to go against Serena Group, we'd already drawn our battle lines,” she replied with a cold tone.With that, she turned and strode out of the office without another glance.Jean let out a mirthless chuckle, addressing Bram. “Mr. Bram, times have changed. The outcome might surprise you if you don’t surrender your assets.”He, too, quickly exited the conference room.Bram seethed, left sitting in the empty room. 'How dare Serena ignore me like this?!'“She got some nerves, that Serena! You really want to force my hand?” he snarled, slamming his fist on the table. “Let’s go. She’ll be begging us soon enough.”Bram stormed out as his sons followed in his furious wake.Just as they reached the hallway, Evelyn, preoccupied with her thoughts, accidentally bumped into him, scattering the files she was carrying.“Oh! I’m so sorry!” Evelyn quickly knelt, gathering the fall

Upon seeing Serena's eyes flash with anger, Evelyn realized there was no hiding the truth anymore. Reluctantly, she recounted how she had been slapped."Why didn't you call for help then?" Serena demanded. Her cheeks flushed with anger as she clenched her fists."Ms. Serena, it was just a slap. It's not a big deal. No harm done," Evelyn replied, trying to downplay the incident. She knew too well that the Shaw family was not to be trifled with, as not even local officials dared cross them."Fine. Get back to work," Serena said with a wave, noting Evelyn's clear reluctance to stir up trouble.Once Evelyn left, Jean frowned, addressing Serena. "Ms. Serena, there's a high chance the Shaw family will retaliate. I suggest not using your regular driver today."With that, Jean quickly sent a message to Esmond.Since they were now on the same side, Jean was not about to pass up a chance to build rapport with Esmond. He had already gotten his number and had been hosting him at Leng family

The phrase "Man Triumphs Over Heaven" appeared six times in the Heavenly Peak records. Xayne had always thought it was merely an inspirational message for future generations.But with the newfound understanding of the Three Absolute Formations, he realized there was far more to it.The phrase implied that the human body was a microcosm of the universe, connected to it in profound ways. This meant human potential was intertwined with the cosmos itself.If one could fully unlock this potential, they could transcend—conquering the very essence of nature.Xayne clasped his hands behind his back, pacing the study with a thoughtful expression.At that moment, Esmond entered, carefully placing a pot of tea on the nearby table. "Master, please enjoy some tea.""Hmm. Is the lady asleep?" Xayne nodded."The caregiver insists the lady retires before eight every evening. By now… she's been asleep for quite some time." Esmond glanced at the clock. Xayne gave a faint nod and handed over the

The palace aide hurried out of the Emperor's Hall, his footsteps echoing in the quiet corridors. The Emperor turned to Braam, gesturing lightly. "You may leave.""Yes, Your Majesty." Braam bowed and exited swiftly, eager to distance himself from the situation.Nearly half an hour later, Yves entered the hall in long strides with a composed expression yet alert."Your Majesty!" Yves stepped forward and bowed respectfully."Take a look at this. Xayne has truly stirred up a hornet's nest this time," the Emperor said, handing over the classified report.Yves took the document with steady hands, but the moment his eyes scanned the first line, his grip faltered, and the report slipped from his trembling fingers onto the floor."This... how can this be handled?! The Christy family isn't like the Eastin family!" Yves's usually calm demeanor cracked, revealing a hint of panic.Everyone in the Drakonia's upper ranks knew the untouchable privileges of the Christy family of Heavenly Peak. E

Xayne's cold eyes swept over the elderly man before him as his voice dropped to an icy tone. "I, Xayne, have no idea what chaos I've supposedly caused. It's this Delwyn, masquerading as me, spreading havoc everywhere. What exactly is his agenda?"He paused, letting the silence stretch before continuing, "I may not be some untouchable figure, but as the King of the North, he has committed the crime of defiling a sovereign's honor. By law, his entire family should be eradicated. Killing him alone is already an act of mercy!"Then Xayne turned on his heel, his cloak sweeping through the air as he walked away without a backward glance.The elderly man clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles cracked audibly as he watched Xayne's figure disappear into the distance. Even Delwyn was not a match for Xayne. For him to step in would be suicide."Master Lincoln, what do we do? If the Christy family in Heavenly Peak learns that Young Master Delwyn died without cause, they'll hold us acc

Delwyn clung to his last desperate hope, the secret technique of the Three Absolutes Formation. It was the only bargaining chip he thought could make Xayne hesitate.Xayne stared at him coldly and demanded, "Where is it?"Without even a moment to think, Delwyn blurted out, "It's sewn into the inner lining of my undershirt! You can take it anytime!"If his shoulders hadn't been shattered, he would have retrieved it himself. Xayne reached out and tore open Delwyn's coat, ripping the undershirt clean off.Sure enough, inside was a piece of white silk, densely covered in ancient symbols and writings detailing the secrets of the Three Absolutes Formation. Xayne scanned the text twice, committing the intricate details to memory with ease."Xayne! You'll let me go now, right?" Delwyn looked up, his eyes filled with fragile hope as he studied Xayne's expression.But Xayne's face remained as cold as ice. "I'm afraid I can't let you go. However, I can grant you the dignity of a whole corps

Even Delwyn himself hadn't anticipated how powerful the Heaven's Absolute Formations could be once he left the Christy family estate in Heavenly Peak. Back in Heavenly Peak, when he used the same technique, its strength had been far weaker.Now, watching the furious tornado, a maelstrom of lightning, and roaring winds rushing toward Xayne, Delwyn could already picture his rival's gruesome end.Suddenly, the stars above shimmered, their light intensifying as Xayne hurled his Ravenclaw dagger. A streak of brilliance shot straight into the heart of the raging tornado."Shatter!" Xayne roared, his voice echoing like thunder. A beam of starlight descended from the heavens, merging with the dagger. It plunged into the core of the tornado.The ground shook with a deafening explosion, and an eerie wail emerged from the tornado, a sound of anguish, almost otherworldly.In an instant, the tornado began to weaken, its destructive force visibly dissipating. Delwyn stared in disbelief. He watc

Xayne couldn't help but feel a twinge of curiosity, the Christy family had some formidable depth to their lineage.As Delwyn's body plummeted from the 18th-floor window, a chorus of gasps erupted from the crowd below."Oh my God! Someone's falling from the building!""Move out of the way!""Call an ambulance, quick!"But before anyone could process what they were witnessing, Delwyn twisted his body mid-air and landed on his feet. He staggered backward several steps, nearly losing his balance, but steadied himself by grabbing a nearby black sedan.At the same moment, Xayne leaped from the same floor, his figure cutting through the air like a hawk. He knew Delwyn wasn't an ordinary man. He can't be hurt even if he falls flat without resistance from a building with more than ten floors.No matter who it was, if they were a Divine Commander, the strength of their physical body had long surpassed that of a diamond. Not only could they endure falls, but even artillery fire might not h

As the purple lightning streaked through the window, Xayne closed his eyes halfway, focusing intently to bring his mind into a state of complete emptiness. It was only in this meditative void that he could attempt to recapture that fleeting sense of clarity.Though Xayne had once unleashed a similar formation in his duel with Lyuben, the essence of such formations remained beyond his comprehension. His execution was guided purely by instinct, a far cry from the mastery and stability demonstrated by Lyuben and Delwyn. Time-pressed against Xayne like a vice. He had less than a millisecond to react.If the purple lightning struck him, even as a Quin-Divine Commander at his level or if he was a level higher, the damage would be catastrophic, possibly fatal. Thunder Might of Heaven was something no human strength could withstand.The moment the purple lightning appeared in the suite, its devastating power became evident. Several elites who had been kneeling closest to the lightning's tra

Unfortunately, Heavenly Tome did not include the Three Absolutes Formation. There were, however, detailed descriptions of its complexity.This formation said to originate from the First Dragon, had long been forgotten, its full potential left unrealized by those who came after him. The Three Absolutes referred to: Heaven's Absolute, Earth's Absolute, and Man's Absolute. Among them, Heaven's Absolute was the most domineering, Earth's Absolute the most intricate, and Man's Absolute the most ferocious.Delwyn had only mastered the Heaven's Absolute. The pale-blue light curtain surrounding him seemed to embody the so-called Thunder Might of Heaven. If pushed to its limits, this formation could summon something akin to devastating lightning strikes, powerful enough to annihilate anything in its path. Be it life or matter, nothing could stand against such divine retribution. It bore an uncanny resemblance to the world-altering formation the Golden Dragon King had unleashed in times past.

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
