"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
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2141
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

Jean grinned and said, "Ms. Serena, I'm just a follower. Even if Bram is upset, he won't take it out on me. But you, with Mr. Xayne out of town, might want to avoid coming to the office these next few days. If anything urgent comes up, I'll inform Ms. Evelyn to bring the documents to your house. You can spend some time with your daughter, too."Serena nodded, then exited the office, followed closely by Esmond and Jean.Meanwhile, back at the Shaw family villa, Bram was stewing in anger. He could not shake off the feeling of indignation. Nobody in Folksworth had ever dared disregard him like this. Finally, he turned to Amos and ordered, "Prepare the car. We're paying Cyano Peak a visit."Amos had been waiting and promptly complied. Upon leaving Silas behind to keep an eye on the house, Bram and Amos departed Folksworth under the cover of night.Cyano Peak, one of the long-standing kickboxing circles with a history spanning centuries, held substantial influence in Folksworth and even

Upon hearing these words, the Great Elder's heart sank.Indeed, amidst all the information circulating, neither the KB Kings Circle nor the Emperor had made any statements. The imperial court remained silent, and Klink seemed to have vanished from the world."What do you mean, Valley Master?"Haqin clasped his hands behind his back, pacing slowly as he replied, "Do you know why King Quidie's rebellion failed?""This... I do not know." The Great Elder admitted hastily, shaking his head."In Lancolm, there was an elder who, with a mere gesture, made even Klink yield. And you think Alfonso is above Klink? There are things you cannot judge by appearances alone. If even Klink chooses silence, it means he harbors deep fears. The question is—what, or who, is he afraid of?"The Great Elder was momentarily stunned, then nodded repeatedly. "Thank you for the guidance, Valley Master. So, you mean Xayne still has cards he hasn't played?"Haqin shook his head faintly. "That elder may not be

For a time, both the internet and mainstream media were overwhelmingly critical of Xayne. The accusations came like a tidal wave, and the entire nation of Drakonia was abuzz with discussion.The question was who Alfonso was.To the average citizen, his name was unfamiliar. In contrast, Xayne was a hero in their hearts—a symbol of courage and strength."Seven days from now, Alfonso will personally visit Xayne in Folksworth on behalf of the Christy family."This statement, first posted by a user with the handle "Christy Family Disciple" on a popular forum, seemed simple on the surface but carried immense implications.The post sent ripples through the kickboxing world. Even the elders of Healers Valley could no longer sit still."Xayne, oh Xayne, you've finally bitten off more than you can chew!""Alfonso himself is descending the mountain to deal with you. Let's see how long you can last!""This is it! He killed Dewlyn—there's no way he can escape this time!" "Great Elder, we'

Alfonso Christy was the sole emissary of the Christy family to the mortal world, the living embodiment of their will.Decades ago, Alfonso's name had already become synonymous with bloodshed. A single indiscreet remark from a sect leader, showing the slightest disdain for the Christy family, had led to Alfonso personally annihilating the entire sect. The massacre was so thorough that rivers of blood flowed, and mountains of corpses were left in his wake. That battle had cemented his infamy.Before long, a man clad in a priest's robe, wielding a Seven Death Star Sword, and bearing a sinister expression strode into the grand hall.His gaze landed on the stretcher and the lifeless body of Dewlyn, and a flash of cold light flickered in his eyes."Ancestor! Alfonso of the Christy family presents himself!"Upon kneeling with a resounding thud, Alfonso bowed deeply before the white-browed elder."You've seen it for yourself. An heir of the Christy family has been ruthlessly slain. Not o

Paying respects at the Christy family estate was to pay homage to the First Dragon."Lincoln? What brings you here?" the elder asked as his piercing gaze fixed on Lincoln.Lincoln raised his head nervously. "I've come to deliver the tragic news. Dewlyn has met a cruel fate in Folksberg.""Tragic news? What did you say?! Who died in Folksberg?!" The elder's eyes widened as he yanked Lincoln to his feet. Lincoln trembled as he pointed at the stretcher. "Dewlyn. Dewlyn Christy.""What?!" Upon hearing the name, the elder's face darkened instantly. Dewlyn was no ordinary family member; he was the second-in-line heir to the Christy family."Where is he?!" the elder demanded, storming toward the vehicles."Here," Lincoln said, leading the elder to the stretcher.When the elder saw Dewlyn's shattered shoulders and the bloodied hole in his forehead, he closed his eyes, taking a long, deep breath."Follow me." After a moment, the elder opened his eyes and spoke in a grave tone.With D

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
