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

    Xayne shook his head. "No need. Just give me the address, and I'll go there myself." With that said, he left.Meanwhile, the atmosphere was tense in the Swift Group’s boardroom. All the higher-ups and family members gathered to discuss the family’s dire matters.“Mr. Eric, we must take Xayne to the Lennings! Otherwise, it’ll be the end for our company.”“I agree, Mr. Eric. Over a dozen partner companies have cut ties with us, resulting in millions in losses! Bankruptcy won’t be far off.”“General Adrian has personally issued a warning. No one dares to defy him. Xayne and that wretched Serena caused all this. We must hand them over to the Lennings!”Everyone agreed to give Xayne and Serena to the Lennings. However, Eric sat in his chairman's seat with a frown.At that moment, Sophia stepped forward to fan the flames. “Grandpa, there’s no need to consider it. We can’t afford to offend the Lennings. I was there and witnessed Xayne being ruthless to Kendall.“He also clashed with

    “What? Are you sure they want to cooperate with our family?” Eric was stunned.‘Why would they want to work with us at such a critical moment? Won’t they be challenging Adrian and the Lennings by doing that?’Everyone in the boardroom was puzzled. However, they knew it was a saving grace. Simultaneously, they wondered who caused this.“Mr. Eric, does our family have a benefactor? I wonder who dared to go against General Adrian’s orders to make these people sign contracts with us.”“That’s possible! It seems we got lucky.”"Let's go meet them!"Everyone hurried out of the boardroom. When Eric and the others reached the lobby, they saw representatives from over a dozen local enterprises anxiously awaiting.“Mr. Tommy, Mr. Randy, Mr. Jay, what brings you here?” Eric trembled when he saw the CEOs and chairpersons in the lobby. After all, these were well-known figures and big shots in Shalholm.Even if Eric visited their companies, he might not necessarily get to see them. Unexpecte

    Jay and the other CEOs prepared to leave. Meanwhile, everyone from the Swify Group gasped in shock at Jay’s words.‘This is all because of Xayne?! That can’t be real. Why would it be because of him?’Eric chased after Jay and asked, “Mr. Jay, are you sure about that? Did Mr. Chuck really say it’s because he respects Xayne?!”Jay nodded and affirmed, “Of course, I’m sure Mr. Chuck said that. As for his reasons, I believe only Mr. Chuck and Xayne know. Gentlemen, we have other matters to tend to, so we’ll take our leave now.”Jay and the others left Swift Group immediately after. Everyone in the Swift Group lobby was still in shock.“H-How could Xayne have a connection with Mr. Chuck?” Sophia was full of doubt and concern while Tim’s expression turned solemn, realizing his plans had fallen apart.He approached Eric and said, “Dad, we can’t let our guard down, even if that’s the case. After all, the other party is General Adrian. No matter how wealthy or influential Mr. Chuck may

    Tim’s statement shocked Serena.‘All of that was Xayne’s doing? Isn’t Mr. Chuck the wealthiest man in Shalholm? Why would someone like him help us because of Xayne? By doing this, Mr. Chuck is opposing Adrian and the Lennings.’From this incident, Serena finally realized that Xayne had substantial influence.'W-Who exactly is he? Xayne used to be friends with Lieutenant Linford, which explains the special treatment Xayne had. Yet Xayne has an unclear relationship with Mr. Chuck.’Serena looked at Tim conflictedly, saying, “I-I don’t know about that. Xayne even mentioned anything like that to me.”Tim nodded with a faint smile. “That’s okay. We’ll ask him about it when he returns.”Meanwhile, Tony and Violet exchanged suspicious glances. Tony asked, “Is that true, Tim? Why would Mr. Chuck send people to cooperate with Swift Group because of Xayne?”Tim nodded. "Yes, I’m telling you all the truth. Dad told me to come and ask Xayne about it. Suppose Xayne does know Chuck and has a

    “That’s a pity. Since we got the answers Dad wanted, we’ll take our leave.” Tim’s expression rapidly changed as he turned to leave with Sophia.Tony wanted to follow them, but Violet stopped him and said, “Where are you going? They don’t need you to see them off. Didn’t you see their expressions, especially Sophia’s? Stay here.”Then, she looked at Xayne and scoffed, “Although you’re incapable most of the time, you handled it well. I won’t hold that against you but don’t forget Adrian’s promotion ceremony. Have you settled things with the Lennings? Don't cause us more trouble!"“My mom’s right, Xayne. You should apologize to them now if you can’t settle it soon,” Royce said.Xayne smiled, “Rest assured, I’ll take care of it.”When Violet left, Tony glanced at Serena and sighed helplessly before following her and Royce out of the ward. Only Xayne and Serena remained in the room, with Coco playing with her toys in the corner.Serena asked Xayne again, “Are you sure you’re not close

    Suddenly, Ace entered with an air of determination. When he entered, the air of a seasoned warrior filled the atmosphere, causing everyone to fall into immediate silence and tremble in response.The man exuded an overpowering presence that was far from ordinary. He swept his frigid gaze on everyone but didn’t take the main seat. Instead, he stood aside and introduced himself, “I’m Ace. You may not know me, but I know you all.”As Ace spoke, Donovan respectfully handed him the profiles of these individuals.The former looked through the documents and said, “I only have one purpose for summoning you here. You must sever ties with the Lennings.”Gasps filled the room when those words fell.Some were angry as they stood up and yelled at Donovan. One said, “Is this why you called us here? We don’t know that man beside you. Who gave him the authority to demand such a thing? Have you lost your mind?”Someone else echoed, “Donovan, explain yourself, or we’ll inform General Adrian about t

    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

    "In the end, his ambitions were never realized. When he attempted to merge all five Dragon's Hearts, he died. After his death, the Dragon's Hearts vanished without a trace. That's why the Light Order has always kept a close eye on Drakonia, especially on the methods Commander Zedd used to track down those Dragon's Hearts," Joe explained.Hearing this, Xayne was utterly stunned. He had never imagined that over a century ago, Commander Zedd had possessed five Dragon's Hearts. That would have been a time when Drakon Destiny was on the rise. However, because of the failed fusion, Commander Zedd lost not only his life but also Drakon Destiny's, which declined, leading to the humiliations and defeats that followed over the next century."So you're saying the Dragon's Hearts are tied to the fate of a nation?" Xayne asked, his shock evident."Absolutely. Based on our research, there's no doubt about it. The fate of Drakonia is linked to the Dragon's Hearts. Every time someone successfully f

    In the VIP lounge of the airport, Xayne and Aava were waiting for their flight. Not long after, a tall, broad-shouldered young man strode in. He scanned the room briefly before his eyes locked onto Xayne and Aava. Without hesitation, he walked straight toward them. "Mr. Xayne, I'm sorry for the wait. I was sent here by Yves."The young man sized up Xayne, his eyes flashing with surprise when he saw that Xayne was completely unharmed. Word had spread about Xayne's clash with Lord of Light, a confrontation that even drew out a Radiant Commander figure, Emin. Yet here Xayne was, perfectly fine. It was hard not to be impressed.As Yves's right-hand man, Joe Zhird knew better than to underestimate someone like Xayne. His respect was evident in his tone and demeanor. With his status as the top lieutenant of Black Ice Platform, even the heads of prominent families would approach him with courtesy. But right now, it was Joe who was showing deference to Xayne, and this caught Aava by surprise
