Chapter 2159
Author: Blanco Burn
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.

    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

    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

    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

    However, to the Light Order, they were merely extra members. Without reaching the Radiant Commander rank, they would never enter the inner circle of the Light Order."Something strange happened by the river yesterday. Three heads of Drakonia National Division mysteriously died at the Xavier estate. Three Quad-Divine Commanders, gone without a sound. This is worth investigating," Karlie said as he pulled out a night-shot video and handed it to Smith."Oh?" Smith took the video and watched it a few times, but he could not see anything unusual."There's nothing strange in this video.""Those nine lamps," Karlie said as he pointed at the nine lights in front of the villa. "Look closely. Don't they resemble the formations that the revered Yin-Yang Lord loves to set up?"According to upper management, the Dragon Heart that Yin-Yang Lord found could symbolize the formation's Golden Dragon's Heart."The implication was clear. Xayne was just a young man in his twenties. The question was h

    Roderick and Karlie followed Smith down the hallway to Flamey's hotel suite.At that moment, Flamey was anxiously awaiting word from Bravo. Upon hearing a knock, he glanced at his watch, surprised. "Done already…?""Mr. Flamey, a pleasure!"When Flamey opened the door, he was greeted by Smith's smiling face. He paused for a moment as his gaze shifted to Karlie and Roderick, then nodded. "Come in."Karlie and Roderick radiated a powerful aura that Flamey had only sensed from elite warriors like Esmond. But these two were barely in their twenties, and their strength was undeniable. Flamey could not help but take a sharp breath, throwing a quick, questioning glance at Smith to gauge his intentions."Young Master Flamey, these two gentlemen are Swizer's finest martial artists. They heard about your recruitment efforts, and I thought it fitting to introduce them," Smith explained, introducing Roderick and Karlie.Then, he added, "Young Master Flamey, I believe you've sensed their stre

    "There are more than thirty of them?" Xayne's heart pounded. That meant there were people even stronger than Horin."They're all waiting... waiting for the Ruins of the Dragon Clan to surface. In the end, anyone who craves that treasure will lose their life to greed. That is the cycle of the world." Horin gazed into the distance with a calm expression.He had not been avoiding conflict—he had been biding his time, accumulating power. Xayne could sense it in his eyes. There was ambition there. Every move Horin made served his ultimate goal. Even forging a connection with Xayne had been a calculated step to expand his influence.Xayne was a lone warrior, with no faction backing him. From Horin's perspective, all he had to do was lend Xayne a hand, earn his gratitude, and that was enough. That was why Horin had treated him so favorably. He had even shared some of his own insights, sharpening Xayne’s mindset, strengthening his abilities. Someday, Xayne might become one of his strongest ass

    Xander sized up Fent and spoke coldly. "Fent, will you not turn back from your misguided path?"Fent struggled to his feet, his glare filled with hostility. He spat on the ground and growled, "I will never stand on the same side as Xayne! And you, mark my words—when I return from this mountain, it will be the day of your demise. Just you wait!" With that, he dragged his battered body away, limping down the mountain path without looking back. Stringer and Yeti flanked him, offering their support as he leaned on them for balance.At the Heavenly Water Sanctuary, to the east, a towering waterfall crashed down in torrents. To the west, a quiet river snaked through the valley, its current slow and steady. At the river’s heart lay a tranquil pool, its surface untouched by the world beyond.A hundred feet above the gorge, nestled into the cliffside, a cave overlooked the breathtaking scenery. The air was crisp and pure, carrying the scent of fresh earth and mountain blossoms."Senior, this p

    Fent did not dare utter a single word of protest. Clutching his chest, he trembled as he knelt before Horin."How is your teacher?" Horin turned slightly, directing his question to Yeti."It has been a hundred years since I last saw him. I do not know," Yeti replied with the utmost reverence.Horin suddenly shifted his gaze to Xayne. "The secret of the Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars… lies like the self—no thoughts, no desires, no life, no death! It does not rely on the power of the stars! The world follows the Path of Veyara, but what is the Path of Veyara? The radiance of the stars is not true light." His words were spoken softly as if he were merely muttering to himself—or perhaps offering Xayne a lesson.Xayne's heart stirred. Horin’s insight was astounding. The eight words—"No thoughts, no desires, no life, no death."—lingered in his mind. They placed Horin far beyond the comprehension of ordinary cultivators."Magnetic fields… are simply the pull of the stars. They have al

    "Do you yield?" Horin gazed at Xayne with a calm, indifferent expression.Fent and the others broke out in a cold sweat. Just a single finger—that was all it took. It proved that Horin’s power was unfathomable. Standing before him, they felt no different from mere ants. But what was even stranger was the complete absence of dominance around Horin. No oppressive force. No overwhelming presence. It was as if he, the heavens, the earth—everything—were one. His arrival, and that single finger strike, felt less like an act of man and more like the will of the universe itself.Xayne was beyond shocked. But he was not the only one. Andrea, watching the live broadcast, sat in stunned silence. He could hardly believe what he had just witnessed. Because the one who had been defeated—was Xayne.'Then what realm had this man reached? Quad-Radiant Commander? Rising Numen Commander? Or had he already ascended to Numen Commander?' The mere thought sent shivers down Andrea’s spine.The Light Order’s

    Xayne’s comprehension must have been immense—not only to counter Fent’s attack but to transform it into his own. Fent would have easily blocked this spear had he not taken that devastating palm strike.But now, his entire right side was caved in. One arm hung limply, the other completely empty. No sword, no weapon, not even a sliver of metal remained to block Xayne’s spear. It was no different from trying to catch a nuclear warhead.Yet, Fent had no choice. His retreat had already been cut off. If he turned his back, he would only meet a deadly stab from behind—a certain death sentence."If I die—then I'll drag you down with me!" Fent’s face twisted in fury. With only one thought in his mind, he lunged toward Xayne. He would deliver a lethal palm strike, even if it meant taking Xayne’s spear head-on."Master, he's going for mutual destruction!" From a distance, Esmond saw Fent shooting forward and cried out in alarm.But Xayne had already seen through him. And now, there was no turning

    Xayne appeared to be at his limit, yet in truth, he was far from it. From the Heavenly Tome, he had already mastered the Seven-Star Footwork to perfection. With the slightest lift of his feet, his positioning shifted unpredictably.Three consecutive strikes from Fent were missed completely. The sheer force of the sword energy alone shattered the nearby trees into splinters.Xayne lunged forward, spear in hand, as a formation flared to life around him. In an instant, multiple spear projections erupted outward, each infused with lethal intent, hurtling toward Fent from every angle."Not good! Fall back quickly!" Elder Stringer suddenly shouted toward Fent.But at that very moment, just as the spears were about to pierce into Fent's body, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Fent's lips. It went exactly as he had planned. From the very start, his attacks had merely been probing. Through those exchanges, Fent had already figured out that Xayne's strength was high, but his battle exp

    Just as Fent unleashed his full-force attack, far away in the Skyveria Cave Heaven within Nindragon Mountain, a young man with long hair slowly rose from a white lotus platform. He turned to the elderly figure beside him and murmured, "Fent of White Blossom Mountain?" The elderly figure was none other than Xander. Xander frowned slightly and said, "Your Excellency, in truth, the moment Killian's descendant was attacked days ago, forces from outer battlegrounds had already begun their plans. This time, they've dispatched eleven Radiant Commanders just to erase the last glimmer of hope for Drakonia. If Xayne dies, the three Dragon Hearts will be masterless, and the Ruins of Dragon Clan will never be opened again!" Xander spoke with no emotion as if merely stating an unrelated fact. Upon hearing this, Horin Tamie, the Creator of Light Order, turned his gaze toward Xayne's distant battlefield before suddenly tilting his head back and laughing. "Xander, are you truly not worried about

    Xayne let out a sudden roar, and his Scarlet Dragon Lance erupted with a dazzling radiance. The void within hundreds of meters shuddered violently, while the earth beneath them cracked open with deep fissures. At this moment, the sky seemed on the verge of being torn apart by the overwhelming force. Xayne's aura surged to its absolute peak. "Elder Stringer! Hurry! You and I must join forces to kill him! He's burning his life force, he can't last much longer! Just hold out a little longer, and he will surely perish!" Fent roared at Elder Stringer. But there was no need for Fent to say anything; Elder Stringer and Yeti could already feel it. Xayne was igniting his very soul. Elder Stringer unleashed his full strength at that instant, his sword slashing toward Xayne with killing intent. They needed just five more minutes. Xayne's aura would surely weaken, and when that moment came, it would be the end of him. "Hold out? Do you think you have a chance to kill me?" Xayne let out a c

    After the relentless battles, Xayne was clearly at his limit. Fent refused to believe that Xayne could still put up a fight. He could distinctly sense Xayne's aura weakening. As the saying goes, "Strike while the iron is hot." With a sudden tremor of his body, Fent flicked his wrist, and the sword he had tossed aside earlier shot back into his grasp. With a single thrust, his blade erupted with a dazzling silver radiance, peerless sword energy piercing straight into the sky. Fent wasn't regarded as the peak combatant among the eleven just because of his raw power. It was because he wielded a lost secret formation from White Blossom Mountain, the "Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars."Strictly speaking, this formation surpassed conventional formations. It was a forbidden secret formation. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a peerless heavenly skill. The origins of the Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars could be traced back to the first ancestor of White Blossom Mounta
