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

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

At that moment, a disciple approached Valedi and whispered something in his ear."Oh? Invite them in immediately!" Valedi replied, standing up and addressing Hiram. "Apologies, Hiram. An old friend has arrived unexpectedly. I'll be back shortly."Valedi headed toward the entrance, where he was met by a disheveled and sobbing Bram, who was crying as if he had suffered unimaginable injustice.Valedi frowned as he approached to support him. "Bram, what's going on?""Valedi, my family—the Shaw family—is being oppressed to the point of ruin! They've demanded we hand over all our assets by sunset tomorrow, or they'll wipe us! I had no choice but to come here, to beg for your help!" Bram's sorrowful cries echoed through the courtyard, even drawing the attention of Cyano Peak disciples, who glanced sympathetically at him.Valedi's expression grew more serious. "Bram, what's truly going on here? Surely no one would demand your assets without cause?"He signaled two disciples to escort Bra

Seeing Xayne leap toward Alfonso, the latter retreating in obvious desperation, most spectators dismissed Madoc's earlier warning as unnecessary. A man on the verge of death couldn't cause any massive chaos.The crowd's focus shifted to Xayne. They were already planning how to bow to him in reverence after he killed Alfonso, hoping their submission would spare their families and circles from annihilation.But just as Xayne closed within five steps of Alfonso, an unexpected shift occurred. Alfonso's eyes suddenly gleamed with an intense light, and his body erupted with blood-red radiance."Let me show you the true foundation of the Christy family!" Alfonso shouted.The sight of the crimson light sent a chill through the crowd. Only now did Madoc's earlier words resurface in their minds, but it was already too late. From Alfonso's body, waves of scarlet light surged outward, radiating an unbearable heat.Xayne frowned slightly as he felt the scorching force. The crimson aura wasn't

Alfonso let out a roar of fury, raising his Seven Death Star Sword and slashing toward Xayne."Xayne, you may be formidable, but you will never kill me! I am Alfonso! I am the true Divine Commander among the Divine Commanders!" His voice thundered across the battlefield, his words carrying an unyielding arrogance.This strike was unlike any before. It bore no dazzling light, no blinding sword aura, just a simple, slash. Yet, within its simplicity lay an incomprehensible force, an extraordinary power Alfonso himself had never wielded before.For the first time, he wasn't relying on the Christy family's formations. This was his power."Ah, it seems you've finally begun to realize something," Xayne said, his lips curling into a faint smile.The astonishment in Alfonso's eyes betrayed his realization: the notion of "man triumphing over heaven" was no longer an abstract concept but something tangible. But he would never truly grasp its essence.The Scarlet Dragon Lance in Xayne's hand

Xayne's grip faltered, and the Scarlet Dragon Lance fell to the ground with a resounding metallic thud."Xayne, how does it feel now? Still think the Christy family misunderstood the formation?" Alfonso burst into laughter, his confidence soaring.In his eyes, Xayne was already a defeated, frail old man. Even the weapon in his hand had betrayed him, falling uselessly to the ground. Such a decrepit figure could not pose any threat. Yet just as everyone assumed Xayne's demise was certain, he took a step forward.The moment his foot touched the ground, the world changed. The crimson sun that had dominated the sky began its descent. Scarlet rays dimmed, replaced by the soft glow of twilight. Stars emerged, shimmering in a deep blue sky, and a brilliant full moon rose overhead, bathing the earth in silver light."Time doesn't flow because of your formation, Alfonso. What you create is nothing more than a powerful illusion. The brilliance of the Christy family's formations lies in their

The Wyncock disciple's trembling voice echoed, his weathered hands shaking as he stared at the elder before him.A mere youth in his twenties, he now bore the visage of an elderly man, his hands calloused, his face etched with wrinkles. His master, barely able to lift his eyelids, cast him a helpless glance before sighing deeply.Alfonso stood proudly, his hands clasped behind his back. Despite the bruises on his face left by Xayne, his demeanor remained arrogant. "Xayne, now do you understand? Time itself is the ultimate weapon. Since my debut, I've never used such a profound formation. You should feel honored. It's a first, just for you!"Alfonso's voice dripped with disdain as he continued, "Since you're about to die, let me unravel the mystery for you. Have you ever wondered why Drakonia has so few Divine Commanders?"The crowd fell silent, the air thick with unease. Alfonso's words struck a nerve. For centuries, Drakonia had produced countless powerful warriors, including Radi

The crimson sunlight bathed everyone in its eerie glow, aging them by more than a decade in an instant.No one understood what kind of formation this was. Everyone's hearts trembled with fear and disbelief. Even Xayne was not spared. Threads of white hair appeared on his head, and his aging progressed far faster than anyone else's.Watching Xayne wither before his eyes, Alfonso erupted into wild laughter. "Xayne, do you see now? I don't even need my sword to kill you! The Three Absolutes Formation is far beyond your comprehension! Let me enlighten you, this is the Earth's Absolute Formation!"Gasps rippled through the crowd as they absorbed Alfonso's revelation. The Earth's Absolute Formation could accelerate aging at such an incredible rate.Xayne, his face lined with wrinkles and his voice now hoarse and brittle, slowly raised his head. "According to the Christy family's interpretation, the Heaven Absolute Formation stirs storms and commands the wrath of the skies. The Earth's Ab

The human body's magnetic field, once awakened, was untouchable by external forces.At that moment, Xayne's mind slipped into pure emptiness, absolute serenity. But this time, it was different. This time, Xayne understood something fundamental.He understood the reason why was that only in this state of emptiness could he summon the Celestial Formation. It was because, in that state, his mind became one with the universe, his internal magnetic field perfectly synchronized with the cosmos itself. Only then could he command the stars to shift, the clouds to gather and disperse, and even the blazing sun to move from its place in the heavens. Compared to the vast, infinite power of the universe, the forces Alfonso had summoned were insignificant, barely a flicker in the grand scheme of existence. The storm raged on. Shadows of countless swords descended, accompanied by the deafening roar of thunder. Cries of despair filled the air as chaos erupted all around.Yet behind Xayne, Esmon

At this moment, Alfonso's anger had reached its peak.In all his years, he had never bled, not once. Through countless perilous battles, he had always walked away unscathed.Yet now, after twenty years away, returning from Heavenly Peak, Xayne had forced him to spit blood.Yes, his technique rebounded on him, but no one among the onlookers would understand that. If he didn't kill Xayne today, no one would respect Alfonso again. It wouldn't just be the elite fighters in Eukrania mocking him, even back home, in Drakonia, he'd become the punchline of every joke."Xayne, drop your weapon now! Or do you want everyone within a three-mile radius to perish with you?" Madoc's voice cracked as he shouted, his face red with panic.He wasn't concerned about the innocent civilians in the area. He was worrying about saving his life. After all, he knew the destructive power of Alfonso's technique better than anyone.Years ago, he'd witnessed a devastating storm that wiped out a battalion and a

Especially for Esmond, the resemblance was uncanny. After all, Alfonso himself passed down his Wind Spirit Limit Break to Esmond. This was why Alfonso's first two strikes seemed so familiar.But the third strike was beyond anything Esmond had ever been able to comprehend. Before Alfonso's colossal blade could descend, Xayne lunged forward, his crimson-gold spear thrusting with blinding precision. The tip of the spear radiated an intense white light, cutting through the air like a comet.Alfonso sneered, casually flicking his sleeve, confident he could deflect the attack with minimal effort. He didn't anticipate the sheer force behind Xayne's strike. The spear surged forward with an unstoppable momentum, shattering through his defense and slamming into the blade of his massive sword.The sound of metal colliding reverberated through the sky, and the intertwining lightning arcs instantly extinguished. The enormous blade that dominated the heavens disappeared.A sharp jolt shot throug

It only took four strikes for him to take down eight Divine Commanders. As soon as those words were spoken, the crowd froze in disbelief. The sheer strength of Alfonso became unmistakably clear.Just then, Alfonso flicked his wrist, his sword twirling in a graceful yet deadly dance, creating countless brilliant arcs of light. Each arc shimmered with a force that seemed impossible to contain.In the next instant, the sky above seemed to split apart, revealing a cascade of enormous swords, each more massive than the last. The scene bore a striking resemblance to the one created by Esmond during his legendary sword technique years ago. But the energy radiating from Alfonso's attack made Esmond's Wind Spirit Limit Break feel like a faint echo.The overlapping images of colossal swords blurred together in the air, forming a single, towering blade that grew sharper with every passing second. As the sword solidified, streaks of lightning danced along its edge, electrifying the sky with bol
