Serena was distraught. She never expected Xayne to retaliate against Butch and his gang. Still, she did not blame him because he only wanted to protect her.

Jordan hurried over, asking, "Ms. Serena and Mr. Xavier, are you both okay?!"

Serena looked at Jordan and said, "I'm so sorry for what happened here. Don't worry, I'll make sure to compensate you."

Jordan could not accept Serena’s compensation, so he chuckled awkwardly, "N-No, there's no need. I'll have it cleaned up right away."

Soon after, a few wait staff entered to tidy up the room and set up a new spread of dishes. Serena’s employees then sat down with worry and anger as they stared at Xayne.

Even so, Xayne sat there like nothing had happened and resumed enjoying his meal. No one knew he had gone to the restroom to text Donovan and Harold while the waitstaff cleaned the area.

Everyone directed their anger at Xayne.

"Xayne, do you know what you’ve done?! Butch Tyder is Mr. Tage’s subordinate! You’ve signed your death war

    The private room fell silent when they heard Butch’s announcement. Serena and the employees bolted upright with their hands on their sides, facing the entrance.As expected, a row of men in black suits emerged to inspect the room. Then, a middle-aged man in a white suit and gold-rimmed glasses walked in. The gray-haired man held two jade balls, exuding an air of authority.His presence was overwhelming. It was the top dog, Tage Warrin, of Shalholm’s underworld. Everyone lowered their heads as he entered, calling out, “Mr. Tage!”However, Serena and the employees stood rooted while Xayne remained seated. Xayne’s calmness shocked Serena and the employees.“Xayne, get up!” Serena exclaimed, tugging at Xayne’s clothes.Some employees rolled their eyes, and others trembled."We're done for! How can Xayne be so bold? Tage's here, yet he's just sitting there eating.""What do we do now? We’ll die because of him.""It's all Xayne's fault! Now that Tage is here, it’s over for us."Many

    Tage was the self-proclaimed top dog of Shalholm’s underworld. He figured he might as well give up his title if he did not teach Xayne a lesson for humiliating his men.Over twenty of Tage’s men grabbed their extendable batons from their belts, making a sharp sound as they extended the batons.Swish!The scene sent Serena and the employees into a frenzy of panicked screams. Still, Xayne remained unfazed as he observed the men. “Is that all you got? That’s cute.”Tage roared, "Knock his teeth out!"His men charged forward, but a muffled roar echoed through the private room, “Who dares to touch Mr. Xayne?!”Immediately after, they heard footsteps rapidly approaching. Everyone turned to the entrance and saw a group of bodyguards wearing similar black suits. The bodyguards stormed in with their batons.Donovan emerged from behind them, saying, “You love stirring trouble on my turf, don’t you, Tage? Do you even care about me?”He first stared at Xayne after entering the private room

    Harold was furious as he strode in with armed officers standing at attention. Meanwhile, a dozen police cars had already surrounded Heavenly Delights. Armed soldiers in black combat gear dismounted from armored vehicles, waving around before rushing in."Team One, secure!""Team Two, secure!""Team Three, secure!"It only took moments for Harold’s team to surround Heavenly Immortal Grand Hotel.Tage glared at Donovan and roared, "How dare you double-cross me?!"Donovan sneered. "Don't make it sound so dramatic. I didn’t double-cross you."He bowed slightly to Harold, saying, “I apologize for disturbing you at this late hour.”Harold nodded and glanced at Xayne through the crowd. Then, he gazed at Tage and asked, “Who are you fighting?”Tage’s expression was cold. After a long silence, he finally bowed. “Chief Harold, you’ve misunderstood. We were just fooling around.”Harold scoffed, “Fooling around, huh? All right then, let me escort you all back.”The officers moved forwar

    “Don’t you feel any shame, Xayne? We wouldn’t be in this mess if it weren’t for you. What a way to ruin a perfect meal!”Faced with everyone’s scoldings, Serena could only apologize. With that, the dinner ended on a gloomy note. She felt depressed when she got home, clearly troubled by what had happened at Heavenly Delights.Xayne approached a cup of tea and handed it to Serena, who was in the living room. She wore a white nightgown while still going through documents under the lamplight. Xayne said, “You had wine earlier. This tea will help with your digestion.”"Thank you." Serena raised her eyebrows, offering a faint smile. She sipped the tea, then looked at him with a hint of worry. "Xayne, are you prepared for the matters concerning the Lennings?"Xayne sat beside her, saying, "Yes, you can rest assured. I'll handle it."Serena hesitated for a moment, then decided not to say anything more.Xayne remained seated. He saw her serious expression and slowly drifted off to sleep.

    Eric frowned at the kneeling Serena. He stood up, approached her, and questioned, “Why did you only come to me now? Do you wish disaster on our family? Xayne caused this mess, so he should be responsible. Didn’t he swear to handle it himself? Why do you kneel and plead for him?”Serena shook her head as tears rolled down her cheek. “No, Grandpa. I came on my own accord, not Xayne’s. After all, he’s Coco’s father. She and I can’t lose him.”"Hmph!" Eric snorted, turning away from Serena. “He’s the curse of the Xaviers and has no connections to the Swifts. Would we have missed the chance to become a first-class family if not for what happened five years ago?“Would you be in this situation if not for him? Serena, you used to be my most cherished granddaughter. Look at you now, kneeling to plead for someone who’s nothing! Leave! You’re no granddaughter to me.”Serena cried, her voice choked with sobs, "Grandpa, please help Xayne. Coco and I can't bear to lose him, sob..."Bang! Sud

    After ending the call, Ethan pondered momentarily before calling Adrian. It rang for a while before a woman's voice sounded on the other end, "Ethan? What do you want with my brother?""Is this Kendall? I heard Adrian just returned, and some friends want to take him out for dinner to catch up," Ethan chuckled."Do you think I'm that naive? Tell me, what's the real reason you're looking for my brother?" Kendall replied coldly.Ethan chuckled again and could only recount what Sophia had just explained. After hearing the whole story, Kendall smirked. She raised an eyebrow and said, "Serena? Heh, all right. I'll be there tonight."Kendall ended the call with a snap, her eyes glinting with determination.'Serena! We haven't seen each other in many years. I never expected you to fall so low. Begging my brother for the likes of Xayne, huh? I'll ruin you tonight!'Adrian, who had just returned from a run, wiped his sweat with a towel he took from a servant. He asked, “Kendall, who was th

    Serena grew excited when she heard that. She nodded and said, “Thank you so much, Sophia.”Sophia glanced at Serena coldly, then turned and swaggered off.Serena spent the rest of the day preparing for the evening’s event. In the meantime, she texted Xayne, saying she had a client meeting in the evening and wouldn’t be home for dinner.Xayne was at home with Coco when he received the message. After some thought, he frowned and replied, “Where are you dining? I’ll come pick you up.”Without much thought, Serena forwarded the hotel address to Xayne. When it was time to leave work, Serena got into Sophia's car and headed to Le Ocho. It was an old establishment specializing in local cuisine.Le Ocho was well-known in the area, but not just anyone could dine there. Luckily, Ethan was a restaurant member. He had special privileges, which included making last-minute reservations.Serena was captivated by the restaurant’s design when she stepped out of the car. The entire building was go

    Kendall glanced at the stout owner and extended her hand. She barely touched his fingertips and stated, “No need. I have a friend in Room 388.”“I see. Please follow me.” The owner respectfully nodded, bowed, and led Kendall to the third floor. When they arrived, Kendall glanced at the soldiers accompanying her and commanded, “You two, guard the door and let no one in!”"Yes, miss!" The two soldiers responded. Then, Kendall opened the door and strode in pridefully.Serena anxiously waited inside the private room. Since Adrian was taking an unusually long time, she considered leaving. She got up and addressed Sophia and Ethan, "I'm sorry, Sophia. I have something else to attend to, so I'll take my leave."Sophia panicked and grabbed her, saying, "Why the rush? You asked me for help, and I got Ethan to arrange this meeting. What’ll happen if Adrian arrives and you’re not here? He might get angry and blame our family. What will we do then?"Ethan chimed in, "That's right, Serena. Mr.

    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
