The assassin died before realizing what had happened. The remaining assassin panicked after witnessing his comrade’s demise.

With one assassin with a broken wrist lying on the ground and the other dead, the third assassin instinctively turned to flee when he realized the man had made light work of his comrades.

‘That man’s might is beyond our expectations! I must escape and report to our leader!’

The assassins never expected to meet such a formidable person who guarded an abandoned daughter of the Swifts.

‘That man must be the king of assassins. Wait, no! Our leader is the king of all assassins!’

Xayne noticed the fleeing assassin and kicked the one with a broken wrist toward him. The unconscious assassin crashed into the fleeing assassin, causing them to fly out of the third-floor window.

A muffled thud sounded, and one of the assassins died from the fall. Xayne approached the window and glared at the two figures below. He jumped down and landed beside the assassins, cracking th

    Xayne said smilingly, “It’s nothing. You should continue resting.”Serena responded with a hum but could not fall back to sleep. Instead, she asked, “Xayne, can you talk with me for a while? I can’t sleep.”Xayne nodded and sat by her bedside, smiling. "Of course."The two conversed for the next half an hour. Gradually, Serena fell asleep. Xayne covered her with her blanket and left the ward soon after.Later that night, a stern-faced Ace and a worried Harold stood outside the ward. Ace stepped forward when he saw Xayne, asking, “Supreme Commander, we didn’t wake Madam, did we?”Xayne shook his head and then turned to Harold. “Have you cleared everything?”Harold handed three blood-stained photos to Xayne, saying, “Yes, sir. However, we found something on the assassins.”Xayne looked at the photos solemnly as a dangerous aura emanated from him. Indeed, the assassins were targeting him, Serena, and Coco. He asked, “Any other leads?”Harold shook his head. "Not yet. We have foota

    The two assassins met their end. The masked man sneered at the assassins lying in a pool of blood, eyes widened. He scoffed and spat, “Worthless, incompetent fools! I have to do everything myself.”He doused the abandoned villa with gas and flicked a lighter. Immediately after, the villa turned into an inferno with a resounding whoosh. The masked man stood at the entrance for a while before driving away.The following day, Xayne received a call from Harold as he sat by Serena and Coco’s bedside. Harold reported, “Sir, someone set a villa in Shalholm’s outskirts ablaze. We recovered two male bodies at the scene. They were likely involved in the attempted assassination.”“All right, I’ll be there soon,” Xayne replied and hung up the phone.Serena looked at him curiously and asked, “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”Xayne smiled. “It’s nothing. Some friends of mine found out I’m back and want to discuss something with me.”Serena only nodded.Xayne quickly left the hospital and

    Although Xayne could not understand why the attractive policewoman harbored such resentment, he did not intend to argue with her. He simply offered a faint smile and stood there quietly.Harold rushed over from a distance. He was anxious when he saw the policewoman blocking Xayne. He bowed to Xayne, saying, “Mr. Xayne, you’re here.”Xayne nodded but said nothing. Meanwhile, Frances was startled when Harold came to greet Xayne. She did not know who that man was, but he had an extraordinary presence.‘This guy got Harol here with a single phone call.’Xayne glanced at Frances, standing in his way, and asked, “May I go in now?”Frances was flustered, unsure of what to say. On the other hand, Harold looked at her sternly and said, “Frances, step aside!”“Huh? Oh!” Frances quickly stepped aside and lifted the police tape.Xayne entered with the smiling Harold. The latter said, “Please go ahead, sir. Mr. Ace hasn’t arrived yet.”Xayne nodded and approached the burnt villa.Meanwhile

    At that moment, Ace and four soldiers in military uniforms approached."Attention!""Salute!"Ace sternly reported, “Sir, these four are colleagues from the intelligence department. They rushed here overnight from the Northern Plains.”Each of the four soldiers held a silver briefcase. They stood at attention and saluted, “Supreme Commander, sir!”Xayne nodded. "Let's begin.""Yes, sir!" The four soldiers opened the silver briefcases and began extracting evidence from the scene.Harold smiled as he observed them, saying, “Mr. Xayne, though we belong to different divisions, our capabilities are similar. There aren’t valuable clues left here. You might be wasting your time.”Xayne gazed at Harold indifferently. “Chief Harold, sometimes there are leads you can’t uncover. We can help with that.”Harold shivered. Although he smiled, he still felt doubtful. After all, he had faith in the personnel from his division. Even those investigating the leads could not help but feel resentme

    Xayne tensed up and coldly replied, “Who is this? Don’t touch my wife and child! I’m coming now!”His murderous aura swept through the scene. Suddenly, Ace sprinted toward Xayne. He saw the look in Xayne’s eyes and asked, “Sir, what happened?”Xayne hung up with a frown. “They’ve taken action. They’re holding Serena and Coco hostage at the hospital!”He got into the Jeep, started the engine, and stepped on the gaze. The vehicle roared as it sped off. The commotion caught the nearby officers’ attention, including Frances. She blinked and pursed her lips in confusion.Meanwhile, Ace ran toward the approaching Harold and shouted furiously, “Chief Harold? How did your men fail to secure the hospital?!”Ace’s anger resembled a raging storm that shook Harold to his core. The latter bowed, asking, “Sir, what happened?! Mr. Xayne—”Ace scoffed, his eyes bloodshot as he exuded chilling air. He glared at Harold and roared, “If anything happens to Madam and the young missus, you will answer

    “Dammit, no wonder those five losers failed. So, you’re the mastermind behind last night. So what if you dodged a bullet? Can you dodge them all? Prepare to die!” The assassin unleashed a barrage of shots at Xayne.Clang! Clang! Clang!Xayne raised his hand as soon as the assassin fired. The former shot several throwing needles with a flick of his wrist. Four intercepted the bullets, altering the bullets’ trajectory.As a Supreme Commander, Xayne possessed unrivaled speed and strength. Skills like using throwing needles were second nature to him. Stephen had forged Xayne’s thirty-six Spirit Needles with steel. They could even pierce through steel plates.Stephen had specifically gifted them to Xayne, intending to teach him the art of acupuncture. The former had imparted all of his medical expertise to Xayne. Although Xayne did not use these skills often, he always carried the thirty-six Spirit Needles.They were not only for saving lives but also formidable weapons. Xayne had also

    Xayne looked at the panic and frightened Serena. He crouched and gently held her ice-cold hand, saying tenderly, “Don’t overthink it. Remember that I served in the military as a special forces soldier. Dealing with people like him is simple.”Serena sighed in relief upon hearing this. Still, her eyes showed a lingering fear as she asked, “Who was that person? What did he mean five years ago? Do you have a history with him?”Xayne frowned as he said, “I’m not sure, but I’ll find out.”At that moment, several patrol officers approached and presented their badges to Xayne. One said, “Sir, could you cooperate with our investigation, please? We have a few questions to ask.”Serena grew anxious, but Xayne had already risen. He turned to the patrol officers and said, “All right, let's go over there.”Xayne patted Serena’s shoulder. “I’ll be right back.”"Okay." Serena nodded, watching as Xayne left with the patrol officers.Once out of earshot, the lead officer said, "Mr. Xayne, are yo

    With an enemy lurking in the dark, Xayne felt a growing concern for Serena and Coco.Ace arrived, asking, “Sir, are you okay?”Xayne’s expression was cold and determined as he looked at Ace. “I’m fine. There’s no longer a need to investigate the fire. From now on, you’ll stay with Serena and Coco to ensure their safety. The enemy will strike again.“Yes, sir!” Ace responded resolutely.When Xayne returned to Serena’s side, she looked at him worriedly. “How are you? They didn’t harm you, did they?”She was concerned, knowing Xayne had killed someone, even if it was to save her. Xayne smiled reassuringly and shook his head, saying, “It’s okay. They’ve sorted everything out. That man was a wanted criminal who had taken over twenty lives.“He was desperate and took you two hostage to escape. I’ve served this country, so they wanted to commend me for bravery, but I declined.”Serena sighed in relief upon hearing Xayne’s cheerful explanation. She playfully glared at him and said, “Don

    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
