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.

    Kendall’s words shattered the sisterly bond she once shared with Serena. The latter’s eyes brimmed with unwillingness and resentment as she looked at the overbearing Kendall, asking, “Why did you do that back then? Weren’t we best friends?!”“Hmph,” Kendall chuckled disdainfully. “Best friends, huh? Are you that naive, or are you just acting? Why would I want to be friends with someone like you? I was always second best because of you!”“All the prestigious families had their eyes on you. You’re the reason I was always in the shadows. I was always a step behind. Now, I’ll ruin you in front of all of Shalholm! Are you still thinking about our ‘sisterhood,’ Serena?“What a joke! You're nothing but a piece of dirt! You'll never be worthy of my friendship. I came here just to humiliate you and show you how powerless Xayne is. I’ll make him kneel and beg for my forgiveness publicly."Of course, I want him to see how I destroy you at next month's gala. He claims to love you, doesn't he?

    Each slap caused Serena to bleed more. Soon, her cheeks swelled into a large bruise. Finally, Kendall lost her temper and roared, "Make her kneel for me!"The soldier stepped forward and kicked Serena's knee, causing her to kneel on the ground unwillingly. Kendall approached and glared down at Serena. The former crossed her arms and sneered, “What are you doing? Do you know why you’re kneeling?”Serena lifted her gaze and spat, "Xayne won't let you get away with this! He won't spare the Lennings either!"Smack!Kendall slapped Serena and snapped, "How dare you threaten me? Can that useless bastard even handle my family? My brother will become a Lieutenant next month. Then, no one in Shalholm will dare to defy us.“Don't forget, you came here tonight to plead! Now, bow to me, and I'll let you go!""Dream on!" Serena retorted. She knew Kendall only wanted to humiliate her."Still stubborn, are you? All three of you beat her up," Kendall ordered, pointing at the soldier, Sophia, an

    An overwhelming bloodlust surged from Xayne as he approached. The soldier who had been assaulting Serena drew his knife from his waist when he saw Xayne.However, Xayne was unbelievably swift. He was already standing before the soldier. He gripped the soldier’s wrist and glared daggers at him.Crack!The sound of bones snapping echoed through the air. Xayne had snapped the soldier's wrist and sent him flying with a kick.Bang!The kick landed on the soldier's chest, shattering every rib. The soldier shot away, crashed through the window, and plummeted down. A loud crash followed, along with the screech of tires. Simultaneously, chaos erupted downstairs.Inside the room, the atmosphere grew intense. Xayne approached Serena and crouched to lift her from the ground. He looked at her bruised face and body bearing the belt's imprints. Immediately after, a rageful inferno engulfed Xayne’s body."Serena, I'm sorry I was late," Xayne said tenderly. His initial killing intent had switche

    Before Kendall could finish, Xayne struck her.Smack!The slap echoed through the room, causing Kendall to stumble backward, her ears ringing as blood dripped from the corner of her mouth.Sophia and Ethan gasped, unable to believe what they saw.‘H-He struck Kendall?! He must’ve lost his mind.’“Xayne, you’re insane! How dare you lay your hands on Ms. Kendall? Do you realize you’re declaring war against General Adrian by doing this?!” Sophia shouted in a panic.Ethan pulled out his phone and texted Adrian.Meanwhile, Kendall palmed her stinging cheek and glared at Xayne. Her eyes were bloodshot as she yelled, “You hit me, you prick! No one has laid hands on me! You’re the first and will be the last!“My brother will kill you and your wretched wife. What about your daughter? I’ll make beggars defile your wife in front of you and give your daughter to human traffickers. I want you to die in despair!”Kendall was outraged, unable to fathom how Xayne dared to hit her.Xayne’s ga

    Simultaneously, three military trucks assembled downstairs. Armed soldiers jumped out, sealing off all entrances and ushering the guests out, including the owner of Le Ocho. He stood anxiously outside with a group of patrons.Adrian's soldiers had surrounded the area. His combat boots sounded as he strode toward Xayne. The former glanced at his sister on the floor, and his gaze turned frigid. He locked eyes with Xayne and sneered, “You’re a dead man.Sparks flew as Xayne faced Adrian, retorting, “I’m only teaching your sister a lesson. I won’t hesitate to include you if you interfere.”Adrian smirked at those words. He aimed his pistol at Xayne’s forehead, rebuking, “You’ve brutally assaulted my sister and my men. I can end you right now. Do you believe me?”Xayne raised an eyebrow, glaring daggers at Adrian. "Anyone who points a gun at me is already dead."Though brief, his statement heightened the tension considerably. The King of the North had a gun pointed at his head. If word

    Sophia and Ethan had never met the esteemed Linford Haith. Soon, Ethan approached him with a fawning smile, saying, “Hello, sir. I’m Ethan Brown, heir to the Brown Corporation.”However, Linford ignored Ethan and strode straight to Xayne. “Mr. Xayne, are you okay?”Ethan and Sophia were dumbfounded.‘What on earth is happening? Why is Linford checking if Xayne’s okay? Isn’t Xayne just a nobody? Why does he deserve Linford’s repeated assistance?’Ethan racked his brain trying to determine the Linford and Xayne’s connection. No matter how hard he tried, he could not find an answer.Xayne nodded. He saw Ethan and Sophia’s expressions and said, “I’m okay. Thank you for your concern, Lieutenant Linford.”Afterward, Xayne went to the adjacent private room. Inside, Serena had already regained her senses. When she saw Xayne rush in anxiously and distressed, her first words were, "Xayne, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I couldn't help you…"Xayne felt an overwhelming sense of guilt. He kne

    Violet’s anger grew when she saw Xayne walking in with a smile. She scolded, “What did you just say?! How will you resolve this in a day? Stop making such bold claims, Xayne.”Royce chimed in, “You’re just a good-for-nothing. You might be skilled, but can you bring any investments to the family? Remember how useless you are before acting so arrogantly.”Royce was irritated, thinking, ‘What will I do if Xayne’s assault on Kendall got me kicked out of the family?’Meanwhile, Tony saw Xayne attentively pouring soup by the bedside for Serena. Tony asked sternly, “How do you plan on handling it?”Violet and Royce grew anxious. Violet tugged at Tony’s sleeve and shouted, “Are you crazy, Tony?! You believe this idiot?”Then, she glared at Xayne, saying, “No matter what, you will apologize to the Lennings today. You said you wanted to protect my daughter, right? Shouldn’t you take responsibility for your recklessness for Serena and Coco’s sakes?”Serena frowned and spoke up for Xayne, “M

    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

    They had been supreme powerhouses, returning from the outer battlegrounds—warriors far beyond the likes of those reclusive Radiant Commanders of Eukrania. The environments that had shaped them could not have been more different.In the outer battlegrounds, battles to the death had been a daily occurrence. Meanwhile, the so-called Bi-Radiant Commanders of Eukrania had spent their days in seclusion. The gap between them had been as vast as the heavens and the abyss.That was precisely why Xayne had been able to slaughter eight of them at the outset yet still failed to bring down the remaining three. When it came to battle experience, understanding of formations, and sheer mental fortitude, Fent and Elder Stringer had surpassed the others by an overwhelming margin."You overestimate yourselves. I was merely testing some insights I've recently comprehended!" Xayne’s voice was cold.The moment those words fell, Fent and Elder Stringer’s expressions darkened."Xayne, you are indeed formidabl

    Xayne spun abruptly, his Ravenclaw Dagger and Scarlet Dragon Lance striking out at Elder Stringer and Fent in unison. In an instant, dazzling light engulfed the sky, turning everything into a blinding silver-white.The sheer intensity caused distant cameras to suffer momentary overexposure, while those positioned too close melted instantly under the searing heat waves. The shockwave from their clash alone sent entire blocks of buildings crumbling into rubble. Yet despite the destruction, Xayne was not unscathed—his skin split open, and blood flowed freely from his wounds.Still, he remained standing, his Scarlet Dragon Lance firmly in his grasp, his figure as proud and unyielding as ever. What troubled him most, however, was the phantom of himself conjured by the enemy’s formation. After all, no one understood him better than himself.As expected, the moment presented itself. The phantom Xayne seized the opportunity and launched a sneak attack at his back.Without turning his head, Xay

    Even in Eukrania, with four Radiant Commanders fallen, the inevitable had to be acknowledged—Xayne was beyond anything they had ever seen.The Emperor let out a wry smile. At this moment, the world’s attention was fixed on the battle raging over Folksworth. Major news outlets from across the globe had arrived, capturing every moment in live broadcasts. Radiant Commanders clashing openly—this alone was enough to shake the world. It meant the ancient contract forbidding Radiant Commanders from interfering in the mortal realm had been broken.But the true terror was not in one or two Radiant Commanders meddling in human affairs. It lay in the possibility that all Radiant Commanders could now walk freely among mortals. The fundamental difference between a Radiant Commander and a Divine Commander was simple: Radiant Commanders could not be killed—not even by nuclear weapons.If the threat of mortal weaponry no longer restrained them, they would, by default, rise above all others. When that

    From the very start, the battle at Folksworth had drawn the highest level of attention from the Emperor. Not only had the media broadcasted it nationwide with aerial drone footage, but the Black Ice Platform had also deployed agents to closely monitor every move on the battlefield.The Emperor glanced at his watch—it was nearly noon. Thankfully, Xayne was still holding his ground. Yves paced back and forth, restless.Of the eleven elite fighters White Blossom Mountain had sent, eight were already dead, including two Bi-Radiant Commanders. But the real threats remained. Fent, Elder Stringer, and Yeti, all masters of formations, had served as the core combat power of the group.In the outer world, Yeti was among the strongest of the Bi-Radiant Commanders, someone even outer battleground warriors treated with respect. With opponents like these, there was no telling if Xayne would make it out alive. The doors of the Emperor's Pavillion burst open. Elder Waze strode in, his face grim.

    Another brutal, bone-crushing strike sent a violent tremor through Xayne's arms, leaving them slightly numb. He couldn't help but marvel, 'No wonder this guy was a legendary warrior from the Three Kingdoms era.' Just that one strike alone could've split a mountain in half. Before Xayne could steady himself, a spear came hurtling straight for his chest, blazing fast, almost like a laser. With a roar, Xayne launched himself into the air, swinging his Scarlet Dragon Lance in a powerful arc. The two Scarlet Dragon Lances collided midair, unleashing a shockwave so intense that even Spartacus, who had been ready to strike, was forced back several steps. Xayne himself was sent flying sideways by the sheer force. Then a sharp, icy pain shot through his left arm. He let out a muffled grunt. The Ravenclaw dagger had pierced straight through his arm, embedding itself in the wall behind him. Since becoming a Radiant Commander, he had battled against the Four Radiant Commanders of Eukran

  • Chapter 2676

    Fent's eyes widened as Xayne evaded his lethal strike. With a flick of his sleeve, a glint of cold light shot forth like a falling star. A chilling sense of death descended upon Xayne. At that moment, Xayne was locked in combat against the Green Dragon Crescent Blade and a spear over three meters long. He had no choice but to manipulate the spatial magnetic field to knock the deadly projectile out of the air. His Scarlet Dragon Lance clashed with the Green Dragon Crescent Blade once more, sending a silver explosion ripping through the battlefield. It was as if a miniature nuclear blast had detonated in midair. Even Elder Stringer had to turn his head, unable to face the searing light. At the same time, an even more intense sense of mortal danger surged toward Xayne. Acting purely on instinct, he twisted his head and, in the same motion, flung out his Ravenclaw dagger. Two Ravenclaw daggers collided in midair, releasing a devastating shockwave that sent even Xayne hurtling back
