Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2145
As the saying went, "It’s not about finding good fortune, but about finding good people." Hiram was an impulsive and headstrong individual, and Valedi’s greatest worry was that Hiram would get involved. Unfortunately, the more he worried about something, the more likely it seemed to happen."Master Hiram, please calm down," Valedi said, trying to pacify him. "Xayne was once the King of the North—would he really conduct himself like this? Bram, is there anything you might have left out?"Bram's heart skipped a beat. He had indeed intentionally hidden from Valedi the fact that he and his brother, along with a coalition of over a hundred pharmaceutical companies, had cut ties with Serena Group. With Valedi’s piercing gaze fixed on him, Bram had no choice but to confess everything.When he finished, Valedi shot a sharp glance at Amos and scolded him, "Amos, how foolish can you be? The Shaw family is just a family of merchants! Merchants should stick to commerce! How could you meddle i

Hiram believed this alliance was essential for the future growth of Reikoten Circle. After all, he had succeeded where Iver had failed, and he was confident the Bullard family would recognize his value."Hmph! What is righteousness? In the world of kickboxing circles, strength is the only rule! Xayne may have friends, but we do, too. To my knowledge, you're on good terms with the circle leaders of DiFlores Circle and Heaven's Feather Circle Sect," Hiram continued. "If the four sects unite and pay him a visit, would he dare turn us down?"Upon hearing this, a glimmer of excitement appeared on Bram's face. He turned to Valedi eagerly. "Master Valedi, he's absolutely right! All it takes is one word from you.""With your reputation, combined with the presence of the four powerful circles, Xayne rejecting us would be like slapping us all in the face. Do you think he would dare to do that?" On the verge of desperation, Amos also pleaded, "Yes, Master Valedi, if you don't help our family,

Upon hearing this, Hiram frowned.He was about to step forward to intervene but was blocked by the stern hands of Master DiFlores Circle and Heaven's Feather Circle.With an air of superiority, they glanced coldly at Jean and sneered at Hiram. “Hiram, you’ve always been one to stay amiable, but sometimes, you have to consider who you’re dealing with!”Hiram felt torn. On one hand, he faced his sworn brother and close friend, but on the other, it was Xayne.Truth be told, he did not want to become Xayne’s enemy.But in front of everyone, he could not just disrespect the two masters of DiFlores Circle and Heaven's Feather Circle. He had to swallow his words.Jean shot a glance at Bram and spoke in a cold tone. “Mr. Bram, I advise you, don’t make a fool of yourself at your age.”With that, Jean gave Bram’s arm a sharp yank, forcing him to release his grip, then cast a cold glance over the crowd and strode into the Serena Group offices.Inside the office, Jean pondered for a moment

"Hey! That... that old geezer!" Hiram glared fiercely at Esmond."Master Hiram, don't act rashly! That's definitely Esmond. He's a master of the sword arts. If we can avoid a conflict, it's best to keep things peaceful," advised Valedi, grabbing Bram by the arm and murmuring, "Bram, remember, let's not come off as too overbearing. We're here to resolve an issue, not create more enemies."Bram nodded firmly. "Valedi, don't worry. I know what I'm doing."However, because of the tension on Bram's face, Valedi could not help but feel uneasy.As everyone followed Bram into the Serena Group building, Valedi sighed and trailed in after them.Inside the conference room from the day before, Bram and the others each found a chair and sat down. Hiram and his group shot cold stares at Esmond, who remained calm and said, "Everyone, if you have something to say, speak one at a time.""But keep in mind," Esmond added, "This is Serena Group, not your Kickboxing Association, so I expect a measure

Valedi turned to glare at Hiram. This guy was just here to stir up trouble.Before Valedi could speak, Esmond let out a cold laugh. "So, you gentlemen are planning to solve this with force?""No, no! We definitely don't mean that!" Valedi hurriedly interjected before Hiram could respond."Honestly, asking the Shaw family to surrender all their assets is fair enough. But could Ms. Serena perhaps show some mercy and give them a way out?" Valedi's tone was calm, almost pleading.Serena looked at Valedi thoughtfully and smiled. "Honored Master, let's consider this from another angle. If, on that day, the Bullard family had won, would Mr. Bram have given Serena Group a way out?""At this point, this isn't merely a business issue anymore. You see, some companies have surrendered their assets to us, yet we've returned them. And why? Because they weren't the masterminds, only accomplices. A wise leader knows to spare the guilty by association and focus on the true instigators. Would you a

It was four against one, and Esmond was already severely injured."Sir, don’t!"With a firm yet gentle touch, Serena pressed down on Esmond’s sword and said in a low voice, "You at least owe us time to discuss this. How about you give us an answer by tomorrow at this time?"Upon seeing Serena’s tone softening, Valedi quickly stood up with a smug grin on his face. "Of course, of course. We’re reasonable people, after all. Just don’t let our patience go to waste, Ms. Serena."With that, he forcefully dragged Bram out of the conference room. Upon seeing Bram pulled along, Hiram and the others followed suit, though Hiram threw a lingering glance at Esmond on his way out.In that look, a faint murderous intent flickered.Only after they had left did Serena turn to Esmond. "Sir, you’re injured, and facing four enemies alone is suicide. We don’t need the Bram family’s assets if it means risking your life!"Upon hearing her words, Esmond was visibly moved. He looked at Serena for a long

"I'm out on business. What's up?" Xayne answered his phone, frowning.There was no doubt that something big had happened at home. Otherwise, with Esmond and Jean there to assist, Serena wouldn't have needed to call him."There's been some trouble at home, and I'm worried about the old man's safety. This morning…" Serena recounted the incident that had unfolded, telling Xayne every detail.As she finished, Xayne clenched his fists slightly."Honey, the old man thinks we can only resolve this through force, but he's already injured. How can we handle this? Maybe we should just back off from the Shaw family?" Serena's voice softened, sounding like she was asking for Xayne's opinion.Xayne shook his head gently. "At this point, we can't back down anymore. The Four Great Circles are involved. If we retreat, they'll just keep pushing us further! I'll figure something out. I'll get back to Folksworth by tonight. For now, just stay at the estate Jean set up. Don't worry about anything els

As Esmond finished speaking, he gestured for everyone to rise."Master!" The three disciples knelt before him, tears streaming down their faces, their foreheads pressed against the ground."Hurry," Esmond began, but before he could finish, the sound of a helicopter roared overhead.Moments later, a figure leapt down from the chopper."Mr. Xayne's back!" Esmond's disciples brightened instantly, wiping away their tears as they rushed toward the courtyard.Xayne noticed the traces of tears on their faces and frowned. "What's going on with you all?""It's nothing. It's just a relief to have you back, sir!" They greeted Xayne like he was the brightest star, ushering him into the estate with reverence.When Esmond saw Xayne, he bowed respectfully. "Master! Forgive my shortcomings for troubling you."He didn't need Xayne to say anything. He knew Serena must have called him. Otherwise, Xayne would never have returned so suddenly."Esmond, I've been informed of the situation in Folkswo

Xayne's figure flickered, vanishing in an instant. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Alfonso.Without hesitation, Xayne raised his hand and delivered a resounding slap. The force sent Alfonso hurtling through the air, soaring dozens of meters high. A spray of blood mist erupted as Alfonso crashed down."So-called 'Heaven's Absolute' is nothing more than a manipulation of intent to command all things," Xayne declared.Unbeknownst to anyone, Xayne had already set up the Ancestral Dragon Formation, but his version was unlike the one Alfonso had used.There were no ominous clouds, no visible phenomena. Yet, as soon as Xayne uttered the word "thunder," a bolt of lightning descended with earth-shaking force. Thousands of streaks of lightning intertwined in the sky, weaving a dazzling, electrified web."What… what is this?" Even Esmond and Yves were stunned. They had not noticed when Xayne had deployed the formation.And this formation—while bearing some resemblance to the Ch

Alfonso's eyes widened in fury, his gaze blazing with an intensity so fierce it seemed the flames in his pupils might leap out at any moment. There was no chance he would accept defeat. With a swift motion, he raised his hand, pointing to the sky.The winds roared, the clouds churned, and thunder boomed.From the ground, countless earthen spikes erupted, transforming the landscape into a deadly, shifting battlefield. It was as if the very fabric of the world itself bent to Alfonso's will.Even Matthias and the others could not suppress their gasps of shock. The scene before them was like the gaping maw of a primordial beast, ready to devour all life in an instant.Lightning danced across the sky, and the earth trembled beneath the storm's fury. The heavens unraveled in chaotic disarray, as a deafening crack of thunder shattered the air, followed by a torrential downpour.But this was no ordinary rain. Each droplet carried a strange, oppressive force, draining the strength of anyone cau

Indeed, at this moment, Xayne had to admit it. While the Christy family had fundamentally misunderstood the origins of formation techniques, their ability to wield them to such a degree was nothing short of extraordinary.No wonder the major organizations held such an ambiguous stance toward the Christy family. Even the Kickboxing Association treated them with near-reverence, like deities.Inside the mansion, the soft cry of a baby echoed once more."That's enough. Let's not disturb the child." Xayne's expression remained calm as he gazed at the swampy ground beneath his feet. His voice was steady, almost indifferent.The crowd froze, their eyes locking onto Xayne as if he were a lunatic.At this point, Xayne could barely move. And yet, he still dared to speak such bold words.'That's enough? Was he serious? Forget everything else—how was he planning to deal with those black vines?' Alfonso thought to himself.And Alfonso had already played all his cards. A seasoned powerhouse l

Divine's Trance was also a key ingredient in an ancient anesthetic once used by a legendary herbalist known as "Horace Med." The concoction was so potent that even Divine Commanders would succumb to its effects, which led to the name "Divine's Trance."Alfonso clenched his jaw, squinting his eyes as he glared at Xayne.From the sidelines, Madoc muttered, "Looks like Alfonso's in trouble this time. What are the odds of Xayne stumbling upon the drug's weakness like that?"Breaking the effects of Divine's Trance by luck. It was almost laughable how fortunate Xayne was. Had this battle taken place closer to dusk, Alfonso's plan might have succeeded flawlessly. But under the glaring midday sun, fate seemed to favor Xayne.At the start of this fight, Alfonso had been the clear favorite. But one twist after another turned the tide. First, Xayne dismantled Alfonso's "Heavenly Peak's Seven Sword." Now, the sunlight's interference rendered Divine's Trance useless.Even though the warriors o

At this moment, everyone suddenly realized the truth, this was the true power of the Christy family.The Christy family of Heavenly Peak had always been shrouded in mystery. No one knew how many secrets were hidden in the First Dragon's tomb.Alfonso, despite his seemingly grand presence, was merely a liaison for the Christy family, a small player tasked with managing external relations. And that fact was what made it terrifying.If someone so "insignificant" could employ such overwhelming formations, enough to leave Xayne completely helpless, the true strength of the Christy family might be unimaginable. Previously, Lyuben, representing Heavenly Peak, had battled Xayne in the Drakonix and the result was terrifying. Xayne barely had to break a sweat before defeating and killing Lyuben in front of everyone.But today, Alfonso had rendered Xayne defenseless. The key issue was that ever since the First Dragon was buried deep in history, all its powerful formations had been lost to tim

"Xayne, feeling numb all over yet?" Alfonso sneered, his voice dripping with triumph."I'll let you in on a little secret. This is the Christy family's unique Blood Acacia! Once it touches you, there's no escaping it. The more you struggle, the faster your strength fades!"Alfonso's expression grew more confident with every word. "The foundation of the Christy family isn't something a brat like you could ever comprehend. Still, you've truly surprised me. To push me to reveal this trump card at your age is no small feat!"He sighed mockingly, "Give you another ten years, perhaps I wouldn't be your match. But today? You're still too weak to go against me!"Standing with his hands clasped behind his back, Alfonso exuded a commanding aura, his demeanor now towering and unassailable. His gaze swept over the crowd, those who had just moments ago been prepared to bow before Xayne in submission. His lips curled into a disdainful smirk. "For decades, I, Alfonso, have dominated the world.

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
