Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2158
Despite his lethal skills, Xayne had never sought to kill needlessly, especially within Drakonia's kickboxing community."Cyano Peak? It's best if we can avoid clashing with them. Excessive bloodshed won't benefit anyone." Xayne retracted his Ravenclaw Dagger and shook his head."Gather their bodies, and we will leave for Cyano Peak," Esmond instructed a few disciples, who carefully collected the corpses of Hiram and the others, arranging for their respectful return to their circles. Then, he joined Xayne, heading toward Cyano Peak.At that same moment, Valedi paced back and forth in his study room, his mind unsettled since he returned to the circle earlier that day. His disciples steered clear of him, sensing his dark mood. A disciple soon entered with urgency. "Circle Master, two guests are here asking to meet with you!""Who are they?" Valedi asked with a frown."One of them is Xayne, and the other claims to be the leadmaster of Heaven Sword Circle, Esmond," the disciple report
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2159
After sending Xayne and Esmond off, Valedi immediately dialed Bram. At that moment, Bram was still lost in a blissful dream, envisioning Hiram’s success in eliminating Esmond and securing the Shaw family’s assets."Dad, if Esmond is out of the picture, can’t we turn to the Bullard family for support? With only Xayne left, the Bullard family should be more than enough to deal with him, right?" Amos said with a smug grin on his face.Because of his impulsiveness, he joined forces with the Bullard family and dragged the Shaw family into the abyss. But now it seemed that the Shaw family had created an excellent opportunity to reach the top because of his impulsiveness.Bram shook his head and sighed. "Amos, Silas, remember this always. Don’t dream of riding on someone else’s coattails. Surviving this crisis requires us to rely solely on ourselves."Before he could finish, his phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was Valedi, Bram hesitated, then finally picked up."Bram, I can no longer

Silas shouted, his voice echoing through the room. Xayne walked forward, hands behind his back, and seated himself on the sofa across from Bram without waiting for an invitation. His steady, penetrating gaze locked onto Bram, who soon began to sweat under the intense scrutiny."Mr. Xayne. I'm sorry. I know I was wrong. But I couldn't control people like Hiram and the others," Bram said. As he spoke, he collapsed to his knees in front of Xayne. Seeing their father kneeling, Silas and his brother bowed their heads in defeat."You not being able to control them is why you're still alive. Here’s the deal: turn over every bit of your assets and leave Folksworth, or face death," Xayne said coldly.Finishing his ultimatum, Xayne rose, flicked his sleeve, and headed for the door. Esmond glared at the Shaw family, adding, "This is your last chance. If we don't see a show of sincerity from the Shaw family by tomorrow morning, tonight will be your last on this earth." With that, Esmond followe

Most people who work in the pharmaceutical field have heard of Ryan Pharmaceutical. In Newcroa, all pharmaceutical supplies came from Ryan Pharmaceuticals. Securing a supply agreement with them was like holding a golden key to a fortune."You're referring to this blood pressure medication?" Serena said, handing a small bottle to Smith Rod.Smith examined the bottle, removed the cap, and took a small whiff. "Yes, that's the one," he confirmed, nodding. Serena Group's blood pressure medicine had a unique light herbal scent, setting it apart from other products."We're interested in placing a substantial order. But the question is, can Serena Group handle such a large supply?" Smith inquired, his brows knitted slightly.Serena smiled, "Mr. Smith, how much are you looking to order?"Smith replied, "Based on current prices, the total value would be about 200 million dollars, with a delivery timeline within four months."He explained, "I think Ms. Serena can understand what our company
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2162
After sending Smith off, Serena immediately called Jean into her office. Upon hearing about the massive order from Ryan Pharmaceuticals, even Jean felt like he was dreaming—a 200 million-dollar order with a delivery time of just four months. No pharmaceutical company in the country could meet such an appetite. But at the same time, the profits were unimaginably lucrative."Ms. Serena, we have to take this deal no matter what. I'll figure something out. Also, perhaps it's worth contacting the shareholders of Serena Group. They may have unexpected resources to bring to the table," Jean suggested.Serena nodded and thanked Jean, realizing the sense in pooling resources. Though she harbored some resentment toward Bravo due to the incident involving Flamey, he, too, had been a victim that night and had even been slapped unconscious by Flamey in the VIP room. It was unlikely he had any close ties with him.With this thought, Serena picked up her phone and dialed Bravo. At that moment, Bra
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2163
Seeing that Serena was thoroughly ensnared, Flamey returned to his room, pulled out his phone, and called Lowes. At this point, the Bullard family was firmly bound to Flamey's ambitions. Although they had lost in the kickboxing arena, defeating Serena in the business world or even pushing Serena Group to bankruptcy in a short time would be a powerful way to restore the Bullard family's reputation.It didn't take long for Lowes's voice to come through. "Flamey, any word from Serena?""She's taken the bait. There's no way she'll escape this trap. But Lowes, I trust I won't be doing all this for nothing?" Flamey said with a chuckle.Lowes narrowed his eyes slightly. Flamey wanted to take advantage of the situation.Lowes's heavy breathing could be heard on the phone, but Flamey didn't care. Though irritated, Lowes knew the Bullard family had fallen from its former glory after the deaths of their ancestors at Xayne's hand. Without a decisive victory, those previously allied with the Bu

"Of course, let's meet at Triumph Tower tomorrow at noon," Serena replied firmly, her gaze steady. With Esmond by her side, she felt entirely secure. Moreover, since Flamey was Esmond's disciple, no one in Folksworth would dare plot against her. This confidence kept her calm.After sending Bravo out, Serena continued her thorough preparations, meticulously analyzing the massive profits this order could bring. Meanwhile, Flamey was also busy setting his plan into motion."Flamey, are you sure you don't want to be there yourself?" Bravo asked, somewhat concerned."No. My mentor will attend, and if I show up as well, it could complicate matters," Flamey decided after much deliberation, opting to remain in the shadows until the climax."But what about the man Bullard family sent, this Mr. Logan Senit? Are you sure he won't be recognized?" Bravo asked, uneasy. Logan was once a figure within kickboxing circles but had since become a lackey of the Bullard family after they took him in."

Jean's words made Serena recall Flamey's recent actions. However, with everything shrouded in uncertainty, she couldn't make a decisive judgment immediately. After careful consideration, she finally voiced her determination."Jean, your concerns are valid, but letting this opportunity pass would feel like a loss. I'm not willing to let that happen," Serena declared firmly.Jean narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, nodding slowly. "In that case, I suggest that we proceed with caution. We can make initial contact without committing too deeply, ensuring we have an exit if needed." Reluctant to let the opportunity slip by, Jean also shared Serena's ambition. Years of navigating the business world had taught him the value of caution, though he hoped his suspicions were misplaced.Meanwhile, in a hotel room across Folksworth, Smith lay comfortably on his bed, casually holding a phone as he spoke. "Flamey probably thinks I'm working for him. How utterly absurd!" he chuckled."He can keep his

At the villa gates, the business moguls knelt for hours.It wasn't until Yves departed that Esmond relayed Xayne's message: "You may leave now. My lord has a word for you—business people should focus on commerce, not on currying favor or seeking personal gain."With that, Esmond flicked his sleeve and strode back into the villa.The gathered tycoons exhaled deeply, relief washing over them. They barely registered Esmond's words. Surviving the ordeal had been their greatest fortune of the day.As Serena watched the retreating figures, she turned to Xayne with an expression of worry and awe. "That was so close. I was holding my breath for you the whole time! The Christy family won't trouble us again, will they?"Moments earlier, when Xayne had clashed with Alfonso, Serena had stood by the second-floor window, witnessing the battle unfold.The spectacle had left her stunned. She had never imagined that kickboxing could defy the heavens, altering even the forces of nature.Xayne shook h

Matthias could feel Xayne's icy gaze fixed on him. He did not dare to lift his head, bowing repeatedly—more than ten times—until Xayne's footsteps faded into the distance.Only then did Matthias raise his head, his eyes filled with cold malice as he glared at Xayne's retreating figure, gritting his teeth in silence."Matthias, it seems... no one can deal with him in the short term," Dr. Lenny said as he stepped out from the crowd and approached Matthias. With both hands, he helped the elder to his feet.Throughout the entire ordeal, Dr. Lenny had kept himself hidden, too afraid to reveal his presence lest Xayne notice him. It was only after Xayne had left that Dr. Lenny dared to emerge."Hmph! Send someone to handle Alfonso's corpse. Have his remains sent back to Heavenly Peak!" Matthias ordered coldly, his face ashen."Yes!" Dr. Lenny responded quickly, instructing his disciples to collect Alfonso's body.Back at the villa, the Grand Elder stomped his foot in frustration as he c

As Xayne's voice fell, the Crimson Dragon Lance trembled slightly in his hand.A line of blood arced through the air, spurting from the back of Alfonso's head.Alfonso was dead.The Grand Elder turned his head to glance at Alfonso's lifeless body, his eyes shutting tightly in resignation. This was it—the rift between the Emperor and the Five Great Mountains had been irrevocably formed.The Christy family would undoubtedly incite the Five Great Mountains to oppose Xayne, while the Emperor would never abandon Xayne. The hope for harmony between the two sides had now become nothing more than a wistful dream.Matthias and the others stared blankly at Alfonso's corpse. It took them a long moment to snap out of their daze, stepping forward hesitantly.At this point, they had completely lost the courage to stand against Xayne.In the past, they could rely on the powerful forces behind them. But now, even Alfonso—one of the most formidable Quin-Divine Commanders—had fallen to Xayne. The

"Alfonso's death may not necessarily be a loss for Drakonia. But with the Lord's strength advancing once again, I believe that within two years, the only one capable of stepping into the Radiant Commander will be none other than the Lord himself!" Esmond said calmly."To lose a Quin-Divine Commander yet gain a Radiant Commander—this is no loss for Drakonia," he continued. Yves silently nodded in agreement. Indeed, Alfonso was nearing a century in age, while Xayne was only in his early twenties. Compared to Alfonso, Xayne's potential was immeasurable."Alfonso, I had already warned you earlier—our Lord is far from simple!" Esmond sighed and lowered his head as he looked at the barely breathing Alfonso sprawled on the ground, feeling a pang of guilt.After all, Alfonso had been a benefactor to him. But now, Esmond dared not plead for Alfonso's life, and this reluctance filled him with shame.Without Alfonso, Esmond would never have comprehended the Heaven Sword Circle. Without Alfo

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
