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

At Serena Group headquarters, Jean was mobilizing every possible connection within the Leng family network, digging deep into Smith's background and verifying the legitimacy of Ryan Pharmaceuticals.Serena was pacing back and forth in his office. Jean looked over at Serena. "Ms. Serena, as long as his identity checks out, we can immediately start sourcing for raw materials."Serena gave a slight nod, also anxiously awaiting news from the Leng family.After two tense hours, Jean's phone finally rang."Speak! What's the deal with this Smith?" he asked urgently as he picked up."Uncle, he is indeed a managerial figure at Ryan Pharmaceuticals, and the company plans to place a significant order for antihypertensive drugs. From what we know so far, there are no red flags," replied Harbin with a serious tone.Upon hearing this, Jean's shoulders finally relaxed. It looked like the stars had aligned, providing Serena Group was still new in the industry with a substantial growth opportunit

At that moment, dozens of warships appeared on the waters off the coast of the East Bank Sea, cutting through the waves as they advanced toward Drakonia's waters."General Rhaega, we have a sudden appearance of multiple Newcroa warships within our defense zone! What should we do? Do we engage immediately?" An East Yoskea Military Theater officer pointed anxiously at the radar screen filled with numerous red blips.Rhaega clasped his hands behind his back as he paced back and forth. Ten minutes earlier, he received a call from Xayne, instructing him to monitor the East Bank Sea carefully. 'Could it be…'"General Rhaega, they've deployed an entire fleet. Our currently available warships are less than half!" the officer reminded him worriedly.Rhaega frowned deeply. This wasn't just a matter of insufficient manpower. Any overly aggressive action on their part could lead to irreversible consequences."Quickly, report this to the combat division and request further instructions from

It was a shame that Xayne had renounced his badge, vowing that any future battles Drakonia faces had nothing to do with him. Aside from Xayne, no other person dared to shoulder this responsibility."Outrageous!" Before the Emperor could speak, Hilton turned, glared at the officer, and snapped, "Are you suggesting that the Emperor is incompetent?!""Emperor! I… I meant no such thing. I'm just stating the facts—if we don't bring Xayne back, no one may be capable of handling this situation!""Guards!" Upon seeing the officer persist, Hilton shouted to the security detail stationed outside the chamber.Over twenty armed guards surged in, swiftly escorting the officer out of the room.As everyone exchanged shocked glances, gunshots echoed from outside, leaving the assembly breathless. Hilton took the law into his own hands, asserting his authority through the Emperor's name."H-Hilton, what…what are you doing?!" An elderly senator was trembling with horror and pointed at Hilton as his

Since Quidie lost his opportunity for the throne years ago, he had been off the radar ever since. Back then, in Drakonia, his influence and reputation were second only to the former Emperor himself.Among the gathered officials, many were once loyal to Quidie. At that moment, all of them raised their fists in respect and, with unified voices, shouted, "King Quidie!"Seeing Quidie enter, the Emperor felt a heaviness settle in his chest.If the one present for the throne had been someone else, even someone like Klink, he might still have a fighting chance. With the support of the senior from the combat division and high-ranking officials, he could likely fend off an attack.But this was Quidie. Not only would no official dare to interfere, but even the senior advisors and military elites would hesitate to take sides.Caught off guard, the Emperor slowly rose, sizing up to Quidie. "So, it's you!"Quidie sneered as his gaze swept over the Emperor, and he responded coldly, "Why should

Outside the hall, two elder statesmen, Hammond and Warren, arrived just in time.Earlier, their grandsons had been brought to the Emperor's Pavilion. Not wanting to separate the families, the Emperor had arranged for Hammond and Warren to be brought in secret as well.Since early morning, there was a strange tension in the Emperor's Pavilion—regiment after regiment of security forces had marched in. Upon sensing something major, Sefton disguised himself as a guard to monitor the situation closely and warned Hammond and Warren to stay put. However, the two elders, ignoring his caution, sought out information. That was when they learned the shocking news. Quidie was challenging the Emperor right here in the Emperor's Pavilion.Braving themselves, the elders stepped forward and shouted at Quidie, "You're shameless!"Quidie eyed Hammond and Warren coldly. "You two should value what little time you have left," he said. Both men were once senior advisors, but today, with no titles or

Not long after, Esmond returned, leading a middle-aged man in his forties into Xayne's study."Xayne, Jeremias of the Dark North Circle greets you." The man bowed deeply to Xayne."No need for formalities. Esmond mentioned you had something important to discuss with me?" Xayne's gaze locked onto Jeremias.Jeremias hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Xayne, I've heard that just now, you killed Alfonso?""That's correct. Why? Do you have something to say about it?" Xayne closed the book in his hands and looked directly at him."Alfonso himself isn't much of a concern. However, offending the Christy family will undoubtedly provoke their wrath. I suspect you may not know this, but Alfonso had a secret ally—someone far stronger than he was. And with the Christy family enraged, this individual will undoubtedly come looking for you. While you defeated Alfonso, this person will be far more difficult to deal with." Jeremias's tone was calm, yet carried a weight of warning."Who is it

At first, Serena felt completely lost in the conversation. But the more she listened, the wider her eyes grew.Even though she was still somewhat confused, she managed to grasp about thirty percent of what was being explained.The moment Xayne raised his arm and waved lightly, a flash of white light streaked across the room. At the same time, a bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the sky. Serena was left utterly stunned by the spectacle. "You did this by manipulating your magnetic field?!" Serena stared at Xayne in disbelief."Yes. In the beginning, your control over your magnetic field is weak, so you can't achieve it. Besides, you'll need to amplify the energy of your magnetic field using formations to create results like this." As he spoke, Xayne explained the principles of the "Three Absolute Formations" to Serena in detail.After Xayne's explanation, Serena felt a glimmer of understanding.Serena had an extraordinary talent for grasping the complexities of formations.

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
