Xayne glanced at the terrified Scorpion and his thugs, then smiled nervously, explaining, “It’s no big deal. He’s just an old acquaintance. I’ll take care of it.”

He urged Serena into the car and said, “You two hop in.”

He gently pushed Serena into the car, frowned, and turned to glare at Scorpion. Xayne stated, "I'll drop off my wife first and leave an address. I'll be at your place shortly."

Scorpion and his thugs nodded vigorously. They respectfully replied, "Yes, Mr. Xayne. Take your time."

Scorpion waved his henchmen to form a line along the road, saluting as Xayne drove past them. The former only dared to sigh in relief when the car’s tail lights disappeared from his sight.

One of the henchmen, who had not recognized Xayne, asked with evident confusion, "Boss, what do we do now? Wasn't this a million-dollar job?"

Whack!

Scorpion turned and slapped the questioning thug. “What do we do?! Are you willing to die for that million dollars? Even the Grim Reaper bows to that man.”

    This scene sent shivers down the spines of the bar's patrons, who quickly moved out of the way.Xayne sat in a private room with a calm expression. He turned to Scorpion, standing before him, and said, "Call Zachary and tell him you've captured me. Get him to come here."Scorpion called Zachary and pretended to be smug, saying, "Zachary, my man. I've caught the person you wanted. Will you handle it yourself, or should I take care of it?"Meanwhile, Zachary held two alluring women in his arms at a nightclub with friends. "Great, I'm on my way! Scorpion, you make sure to keep him intact for me."Zachary was elated as he hung up the phone and laughed with his friends. "Hahaha! Scorpion has captured that miserable bastard. I'm heading there now. I'll record a video of him begging for mercy. You guys will love it."He left the nightclub in his Porsche and drove at breakneck speed until he reached Starlight Bar. When he went to the third floor, he burst through the door with a smile, sh

    Xayne shook his head and glanced at Scorpion. The latter understood Xayne’s glance and rolled up his sleeves before signaling a few men to surround Zachary."W- What are you guys doing? No, don't even lay a finger on me. I'm the heir to the Hyger family, damn it. If my dad finds out how you're treating me, he won't spare any of you. Ah, that hurts! N-Not the face!"Zachary tried to threaten them, but his threats did not take long to turn into cries for mercy. After a few minutes, he lay on the ground, his face covered in blood. He mustered the strength to utter, "X-Xayne, I will never... never let this go..."Xayne approached Zachary, crouched, and warned, "Let me warn you just this once. Don't even think of getting close to my wife. If there's a next time, it won't end this quickly."With that said, Xayne got up and left. If Scorpion were wise enough, he would handle the remaining matters appropriately.When Xayne left, the thugs carried Zachary out of the bar. Simultaneously, Sc

    "Dad, you must make him apologize to me! Otherwise, I can’t bear to show my face in public." Zachary added fuel to the fire.His words made Rose anxious, and she exclaimed, "Honey, why don't you go now?! Are you going to watch our son live in pain?"Vincent shook his head and said, "Don't worry. I'll visit the Swifts tomorrow and demand an explanation."The following day, Vincent drove his Maybach from the Hyger Group to the Swift Group with over a dozen Mercedes-Benz cars in tow.Soon after, chaos reigned within the Swift Group. The staff nervously sat in the conference room, engaged in heated arguments."This is a disaster! The Hygers are coming with full force. Mr. Eric, what should we do?"“It’s all that damn Xayne’s fault! He instigated an attack on Zachary. What a foolish thing to do.""Where are Xayne and the others? Why haven't they arrived yet?"The group argued as Eric sat in the chairman's seat. He had received a call from Vincent early in the morning. The latter rec

    Serena’s unexpected reaction shocked Xayne. He was at a loss for words as he looked at her tear-stained face.'Did I make a mistake?’Serena wiped her tears, and her eyes showed a hint of disappointment. She turned to Eric and apologized, "Grandpa, Xayne was wrong, but he did it because of me. If you're going to punish him, punish me too."Xayne’s heart skipped a beat when he heard her words. He knew he still held a significant place in her heart, or she would not have defended him. He smiled when he realized it.However, Eric scolded her instead, "If punishing you could solve anything, would I need to wait for you to speak up? The Hygers only want that bastard. He caused this mess, so let him resolve it.”The other Swift family members agreed with the older man. Sophia was the harshest among them as she crossed her arms and said, “Take a good look at yourself, Serena. Do you know how much trouble you’ve brought us and our company since you returned?“It’s also that good-for-noth

    However, Xayne shocked everyone with his words. He calmly stated, "I don't think he can handle me kneeling and apologizing to him."Everyone gasped at his boldness.Someone exclaimed, "That’s outrageous! How dare you be so arrogant? Are you trying to drag our family down?" "He's an idiot for acting so recklessly in front of the Hygers’ patriarch!""What a moron! He's digging his own grave!"Members of the Swift family began to criticize Xayne. Pale with anger, Eric glared at Xayne before apologizing to Vincent. "I'm sorry, sir. He just returned, and his temper…"Eric trailed off, worried.Even Vincent’s secretary and guards glared at Xayne. “How dare speak that way to Mr. Vincent?! You need to kneel and beg for his forgiveness.”However, Xayne raised an eyebrow and stared at the secretary, asking, “What’s your name?”The secretary felt confident as he stood beside Vincent. He replied, “I’m Elliot Guard, Mr. Vincent’s secretary. What’s it to you? Do you want to beat me up? Kno

    Soon, Vincent and the others arrived at the hospital. As they approached the entrance, he noticed something was amiss. He saw two armored vehicles and a squad of soldiers in uniform. They were fully armed and stood on alert.The soldiers even inspected all incoming and outgoing vehicles. They lined each side of the streets, looking stern and vigilant as they executed their duties.Vincent frowned and felt uneasy, asking, “Elliot, why are so many soldiers here? Did someone important come to the hospital?”Elliot was in the front passenger seat, looking nervous. “I don’t know either, sir. Everything seemed fine when we left. All this is quite sudden.”Meanwhile, Xayne remained calm with his arms crossed in the backseat. He remarked, “They’re here on my orders.”Vincent and Elliot turned to look at Xayne with surprise and confusion. Elliot sneered and mocked, “Do you think you can lie your way out of this, kid? Who do you think you are? I know you’re from the disgraced Xavier family.

    ‘H-How’s that possible? Xayne's a friend of Lieutenant Linford?!'Vincent trembled as he looked at Xayne with doubt and shock, asking, "Are you really a friend of Lieutenant Linford?"Xayne neither confirmed nor denied it. Instead, he calmly inquired, “Mr. Vincent, didn’t you want me to apologize to your son? Let’s go.”Boom!To Vincent, those words were a clear warning. He knew he could not make Xayne beg for forgiveness because it meant offending Lieutenant Linford and the Venzor Military Headquarters.Thud!Vincent fell to his knees and trembled, saying, “Mr. Xayne, you must be joking. I wouldn’t dare make you do such a thing. You’re a friend to Lieutenant Linford, my family’s most distinguished guests. You taught my unruly son a valuable lesson. We should be the ones begging for your forgiveness.”Elliot saw his boss kneeling and followed suit. He trembled when he recalled how he had treated Xayne at the Swift Group.At that moment, Xayne glared at Elliot and asked, "Mr. El

    Vincent nearly fell to the ground again when he heard his wife’s words. Thankfully, Elliot quickly steadied him.Rose was somewhat puzzled when she saw that. She frowned and asked, “What’s wrong with you? Why are you sweating so much? Are you sick or something?”Vincent panicked, his face paled as he explained, “Honey, please don’t be so disrespectful to Mr. Xayne. He’s—”“He’s what?!” Rose interrupted. “Why’d you address him that way?! He’s the one who got our son beat up. What are you even doing? I told you to bring him here to apologize, not treat him with respect.”The more she looked at her husband, the more she realized how spineless he was.'Why’s he always so timid and hesitant?'Rose turned to Xayne with frustration and said, “How dare you get people to beat up my son?! I’ll teach you a lesson, you scoundrel!”She motioned to slap Xayne, but the terrified Vincent pulled her away in time. Then, he slapped her instead. The smack echoed throughout the hospital entrance, ca

    Deanana glanced at Xayne as she coyly smiled. "Mr. Xayne, no need to be so reserved with me. After all, I used to be one of your admirers. I always thought you were an extraordinary man."Although it seems I misjudged you, still, you were a part of my girlish dreams. Don't let your current misfortunes bother you too much. People say a fallen phoenix is worse than a chicken, and while that's true, I happen to have a kind heart."Her words, though laced with laughter, were razor-sharp. Each one was a jab meant to cut deep.Her meaning was clear: "You might have been a shining star once, but now, you're nothing in my eyes—not even worth a second glance." Helping Xayne get his luggage was just an act, nothing more."Mr. Xayne, do you remember? Just a few years ago, at this very airport, you were returning from... oh yes, the Seven Nations Summit!"You know, I waited at the airport entrance for over four hours that morning just to get your autograph. But sadly, your security team didn'

    "Heh, Miss Deanana, you also know that's all in the past. Even if he were still the King of the North, we live in peaceful times now. No one gets special privileges, right?" Dean chimed in smoothly, his tone laced with mockery."Dean! Do you even realize what you're doing?!" Aava could not hold back any longer, her eyes glaring fiercely as she clenched her fists in anger."Of course, I know what I'm doing, and I know neither of you are ordinary people. Thinking about hitting me? Don't forget, there are plenty of reporters over there. If you dare lay a hand on me, I'll make sure Xayne's reputation is ruined," Dean replied smugly.Dean's sneer widened into a wicked grin, the confidence radiating from him undeniable."Manager Dean, how about this? To be honest, I used to admire Mr. Xayne. Why don't you do me a favor and return his belongings? It would be a great gesture," Deanana interjected with a gentle smile.Upon hearing this, Aava bristled with fury. She knew Deanana was up to s

    Dean's wild provocations quickly drew a crowd of onlookers.At that moment, a striking young woman stepped forward, removing her sunglasses as she made her way through the throng.The woman was dressed in an elegant black gown, the hemline revealing a pair of flawless, slender legs that caught everyone's attention. Her expression, however, was haughty, as though she looked down on everyone around her.She was Deanana Lovorka, the heiress of the Lovorka family conglomerate. While not exactly a household name, she was considered a minor socialite in the upper circles of Drakonix."Manager Dean, it's been a while!" Deanana greeted casually.As someone who frequently traveled abroad for business, Deanana was a familiar face at the airport and she had crossed paths with Dean on several occasions.But she was not here for a casual chat with Dean. It was far from it.She had come specifically to see Xayne.This was, after all, the legendary King of the North. Just six months ago, he w

    "Do you have any idea whose luggage this is?" Aava asked coldly with a sharp and commanding tone.She was on the verge of revealing her special credentials—something she rarely used unless absolutely necessary. Xayne had been her hero, someone she deeply admired. The ridicule from Miodrag moments earlier had already pushed her to the edge, and now even a low-level airport staffer dared to humiliate him."Of course, I knew. Xayne, the King of the North six months ago; now he's just a regular civilian," the staffer replied with icy indifference. The staffer smirked. "Miss, do you think Xayne is still the mighty King of the North? There's no war, the capital isn't under siege, and he's utterly useless now. Take my advice—someone young and beautiful like you should stay far away from trash like Xayne. Get closer to someone like Young Master Dongfang instead. It'll do wonders for your future!"Dean swaggered over, cigarette dangling from his mouth, hands clasped behind his back. His ex

    Upon hearing those words, both Xayne and Aava paused in surprise, then frowned in unison.The VIP lounge was clearly still operating as usual. Inside, over twenty people were relaxing—some reading newspapers and sipping coffee. There was no sign of any "closure" or "disinfection."It was obvious that this so-called announcement was deliberately targeting Xayne and Aava."Manager Li, isn't this going a bit too far? That's Xayne—formerly the King of the North. He has special privileges to use the VIP lounge. If this gets reported to higher-ups, we could all be in trouble…," whispered one of the airport staff, cautiously approaching Dean."Higher-ups? Haven't you heard? Young Master Lyuben already gave the order—anyone who sides with Xayne will see their entire family wiped out." Dean sneered, exhaling a cloud of smoke as he lit a cigarette."And even if the higher-ups find out, what can they do?" Dean added mockingly. "I'll admit, six months ago, I wouldn't have dared cross Xayne. B

    Miodrag's laughter quickly caught the attention of onlookers in the bustling terminal. But their gazes were fixed not on him but on Xayne.The "King of the North" was a name nearly everyone recognized, yet no one dared approach him. Lyuben's warning had spread far and wide: anyone who got close to Xayne would face annihilation."Miodrag! What gives you the right to mock Mr. Xayne? Just hours ago, he was fighting on the front lines for this country. And you? What have you done besides indulge yourself in luxury?" Aava snapped with a sharp and clear voice."Heh, I pay taxes, don't I? Doesn't spending money generate tax revenue? Without people like me keeping the economy alive, what would Xayne have eaten in the north? Dirt?" Miodrag smirked, his tone dripping with mockery. He sneered and continued, "If not for us rich kids throwing around millions in donations every day, Xayne wouldn't even have warm dirt to eat!""Damn it! The nerve of that guy!""What's so special about the East

    "Is it true that Xayne captured the so-called 'Lord of Light' alive?" Lyuben remained calm as he was playing a grand piano in the lounge."Indeed! Word is, the Lord of Light's master, Master Emin, was present as well. However, Xander also made an appearance. My analysis suggests it was Xander who forced Master Emin to retreat, while Xayne crippled the Lord of Light." An older man lowered his head respectfully as he spoke, his voice tinged with urgency."Oh? Defeating the Lord of Light… he must have had a trick up his sleeve. Was it some kind of tactic or setup?" Lyuben asked without betraying a hint of emotion."It's said that Xayne specializes in traps and ambushes. Otherwise, Hiram and his crew wouldn't have met their end in that mansion. Master Dongfang, you mustn't underestimate him!""Hmm?!" Lyuben's eyes shot open suddenly, piercing beams of icy resolve radiating toward the older man.The man immediately lowered his head further, not daring to meet the gaze of the young lead

    "Lowes, what are you panicking for?" Zoro's cold gaze locked onto Lowes.Even though Lowes was several generations younger than him, as the head of the Bullard family, he had the status to stand on equal footing with Zoro."I'm not panicking, I just don't want to see more white funeral banners hanging at the Bullard family estate. If Xayne comes back and chooses to settle the score, do you think any of us can handle it? You might not know this, but back when King Quidie rebelled, even Klink didn't dare lay a hand on him," Lowes replied, his voice strained but steady.He paused, taking a long, slow breath to calm himself. "Put it another way, if Xayne comes for us, even KB Kings Circle won't step in to save us. If that doesn't scare you, then I don't know what will!"The air in the room grew colder. Lowes glanced around at the faces of the other family heads, hoping to see reason in their eyes. But then came a sneer.Zoro let out a low, disdainful chuckle. "Even if Xayne didn't die

    "Xayne!" Zoro clenched his fists so tightly. If anyone had a grudge against Xayne, the Eastin family's hatred was no less than that of the Bullard family. Not to mention, Flamey had been killed by Xayne not long ago. This blood feud had to be settled.The Big Four weren't some weak, defenseless prey that Xayne could toy with as he pleased. For decades, the Big Four had controlled the heart of the Drakonia's economy. Every senator, governor, and political figure had to show them respect. But since Iver's death, the Big Four had lost their glow. People who once bowed their heads were now looking down on them. The root of all this was because of Xayne.That's why, after Flamey's death, the Eastin family had no choice but to call upon their master, a man who had been living in seclusion for decades. Every bit of information regarding Xayne's trip to Egenda, his plans, his contacts, and even his flight schedule had been deliberately fed to Lord of Light.They made it clear that the momen
