Chapter 358
Author: Blanco Burn
Sophia trembled upon hearing her father’s words. She nervously asked, “What are you suggesting, Dad?”

Tim said lowly, “Did you watch the news just now? If we scare Serena a little or injure her child, they’ll have to stay in the hospital longer. Then, we’ll have full control over the party. I believe even Chuck can’t do anything about it.”

Tim smirked at the end. He had just thought of this scheme.

‘It’s seamless and will leave no trace.’

Sophia lit up with delight. “That’s a perfect plan! With that, the association will likely transfer the membership qualification to us. After all, Serena is injured and can’t sign the agreement. We only need to apply slight pressure on that little bitch.

“We'll coax her into giving up the qualification. Then everything will be easy.” The more Sophia spoke, the brighter her smile became.

Tim nodded in approval. "That's right, honey. I'll leave it to you. Remember, leave no traces. Find someone who's discreet and efficient. Don't hire those only

    Sophia nodded. “It's done.”She sent Serena and Coco’s photos to Marco and their hospital address and ward number.On the other side, Marco noticed his phone lighting up on the table. He glanced at it and saw a seventy-five thousand dollar deposit. Marco laughed heartily and opened the message. After reading it, he clapped to signal everyone in the private room to stop.He exclaimed, “Brethren, we have a job! Let’s finish our drinks and hit the road!”Half an hour later, Marco and his dozen men arrived in several sleek cars at the hospital. However, they saw an overwhelming number of patrol officers as they approached."Marco, what's going on? Why are there so many cops around?" One of his underlings asked anxiously.Marco smacked his head and scolded, "Why are you panicking, moron?! We haven't done anything wrong. Follow me."He led his crew straight into the hospital. He followed Sophia’s provided information and went up to the third floor. The group found two officers station

    Marco was shocked and panicked when he saw the uniformed patrol officers. His legs trembled as he knelt. “Uh, sorry, sirs. Wrong room. If we cross paths again, well, no, I hope we don’t. Ever.”Marco repeatedly bowed as he stood up and backed away. However, two officers had already blocked the exit behind him."Get in!" One of the officers bellowed, kicking Marco's backside. The other officers threw Marco’s men into the ward and made them kneel.Marco was no longer as arrogant as he was when he kicked open the door. “I-I’m sorry, gentlemen! I-I genuinely messed up and took a wrong turn. Please, spare me.”His henchmen were also in tears as Harold rose from the sofa with a stern expression. Harold glared at Marco and his men, thundering, “Marco! What are you doing here?!”Marco flinched and looked at the towering figure before him.'My God! Isn't that Chief Harold? He's here too?'The next second, he banged his head against the floor tiles, wailing, "Chief Harold, I messed up. I

    Marco and his men were dumbfounded.‘Chief Harold treated that man with such respect. Didn’t Sophia say he’s just a worthless in-law? What’s going on?’Xayne glared at Marco, sending shivers down his spine. The latter quickly looked away and trembled all over. Xayne calmly said, “Deal with them as you see fit.”Soon after, he got up and left. He exuded a menacing aura as soon as he stepped out of the ward.‘You’re heartless, Sophia. Since you tried to harm Serena, you can’t blame me for retaliating.’Xayne hailed a cab and headed straight to the Swift Group. When he arrived, he strode past the front desk toward the company’s vice president’s office. Meanwhile, the curious employees trailed behind him.Xayne kicked Sophia’s office door open.Bam!The door shattered.Sophia was sweet-talking Ethan over the phone. She was startled when she saw Xayne standing at the doorway. Terrified, she stumbled back several steps, almost tripping over herself. She was livid. “Have you lost you

    Sophia hung up and glared back at Xayne. “It’s over for you now! How dare you threaten me? I haven’t settled the score with you, yet you dare to come here and kick down my door? I’ll break your legs!”Xayne remained composed as he stood his ground with his hands in his pockets. He said, “Marco has been apprehended. What can you accomplish by yelling at me? Your actions will warrant your demise now.”Sophia shuddered at Xayne's words.‘Marco got arrested? Isn’t he supposed to teach Serena and Coco a lesson? How useless! He took my money and got caught!’Sophia’s anger grew, but she denied Xayne’s claims, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Who’s this Marco person? I only know that you’ve barged in here and threatened me.”Xayne remained indifferent. He did not bother explaining anything to a woman like her. Suddenly, hurried footsteps approached from outside. A few burly guards with riot batons pushed through the crowd and entered the office.The leading security chief adjust

    Frances stated, "Don't ask what you shouldn't and cooperate." She tried to restrain Xayne, but he subtly shifted his stance. “Ms. Frances, please have some self-respect. I haven’t committed any crimes, and you don’t have the authority to take me in.”Frances grabbed the air when Xayne moved. She frowned and said, “Who says you haven’t? I need your cooperation in investigating the hospital incident. I only want to ask you a couple of questions. What’s wrong? Are you hiding something?”Xayne frowned in resignation. He knew she was not a bad person. She was just hot-headed and stubborn, perhaps interested in his background."Sorry, but my daughter is waiting for her cake. If you have any questions about the hospital, you can talk to Chief Harold," Xayne calmly stated, preparing to leave.However, his actions angered Frances. After all, she was a patrol officer, and Xayne seemed to dismiss her importance. She had thoroughly looked into his background and discovered he was the only li

    Tony, Violet, and Royce accompanied a middle-aged man and woman with a handsome young man. Judging by Tony and Violet’s nods, the trio were no ordinary people. The young man wore a seventy thousand dollar Patek Philippe watch.Meanwhile, the middle-aged man and woman wore expensive outfits. They exuded an air of arrogance.Xayne’s entrance caught their attention. The trio glared daggers at him, and the middle-aged woman assessed him as if he were beneath her. She asked, “Who’s this guy, Violet?”The middle-aged man glanced at Xayne but said nothing. The young man sat on the sofa behind him while looking at his phone. He raised an eyebrow and looked at Xayne disdainfully.Violet felt embarrassed as she introduced, “Charise, he’s Serena’s husband, Xayne.”Charise sneered, “So, he’s Serena’s husband. No wonder we heard rumors that she had married a good-for-nothing as soon as we arrived in town. We didn’t believe it at first. We thought, at worst, you would allow Serena to marry into

    Since Xayne did not retort, Violet did not bother arguing. Instead, she turned to her elder sister and asked, “Charise, what brings you to town this time?”Violet was not keen on ingratiating herself, but Charise was blessed with good fortune. She had married into a good family, and her daughter found an excellent husband.Charise crossed her arms and spoke proudly, “Nothing much. My son-in-law’s new company is in this town, so we visited to check things out. Since you’re in Shalholm, we decided to visit you, too. We’re hosting a little family gathering tonight and would love to invite you all for a meal.”Her son-in-law, Chandler, was the third son of the Cann family from the provincial capital. While the Cann family was only a second-tier family in the city, they were better than the Swifts. Chandler graduated from Stanford University and held two master’s degrees at a young age.The Cann family invested five hundred grand to start a company for him in Shalholm, making him the ge

    It was seven in the evening when Xayne, the somewhat fragile Serena, and the wide-eyed Coco arrived at the Red Mansion. Serena and Coco were amazed by the scene before them. After all, they had never been to the Red mansion before.The redwood walls and floors were reminiscent of ancient palaces. The crimson-dressed hostesses at the entrance were tall and graceful with delicate features.Suddenly, a disdainful voice sounded, "Well, look who’s here. Quite bold of you."Xayne turned and saw Royce, Violet, and Tony approaching from the parking lot. They looked gloomy with mocking smirks.Violet scoffed and did not spare a pleasant word for Xayne. “A scum will always be a scum. Don’t blame me for not warning you about the embarrassment you’ll face. Keep your mouth shut, and just eat tonight. Understand?"Xayne remained composed, but Serena tugged at his clothes and whispered, "Xayne, please agree with my mom."Xayne nodded in agreement.Violet only entered the Red Mansion afterward.

    "There are more than thirty of them?" Xayne's heart pounded. That meant there were people even stronger than Horin."They're all waiting... waiting for the Ruins of the Dragon Clan to surface. In the end, anyone who craves that treasure will lose their life to greed. That is the cycle of the world." Horin gazed into the distance with a calm expression.He had not been avoiding conflict—he had been biding his time, accumulating power. Xayne could sense it in his eyes. There was ambition there. Every move Horin made served his ultimate goal. Even forging a connection with Xayne had been a calculated step to expand his influence.Xayne was a lone warrior, with no faction backing him. From Horin's perspective, all he had to do was lend Xayne a hand, earn his gratitude, and that was enough. That was why Horin had treated him so favorably. He had even shared some of his own insights, sharpening Xayne’s mindset, strengthening his abilities. Someday, Xayne might become one of his strongest ass

    Xander sized up Fent and spoke coldly. "Fent, will you not turn back from your misguided path?"Fent struggled to his feet, his glare filled with hostility. He spat on the ground and growled, "I will never stand on the same side as Xayne! And you, mark my words—when I return from this mountain, it will be the day of your demise. Just you wait!" With that, he dragged his battered body away, limping down the mountain path without looking back. Stringer and Yeti flanked him, offering their support as he leaned on them for balance.At the Heavenly Water Sanctuary, to the east, a towering waterfall crashed down in torrents. To the west, a quiet river snaked through the valley, its current slow and steady. At the river’s heart lay a tranquil pool, its surface untouched by the world beyond.A hundred feet above the gorge, nestled into the cliffside, a cave overlooked the breathtaking scenery. The air was crisp and pure, carrying the scent of fresh earth and mountain blossoms."Senior, this p

    Fent did not dare utter a single word of protest. Clutching his chest, he trembled as he knelt before Horin."How is your teacher?" Horin turned slightly, directing his question to Yeti."It has been a hundred years since I last saw him. I do not know," Yeti replied with the utmost reverence.Horin suddenly shifted his gaze to Xayne. "The secret of the Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars… lies like the self—no thoughts, no desires, no life, no death! It does not rely on the power of the stars! The world follows the Path of Veyara, but what is the Path of Veyara? The radiance of the stars is not true light." His words were spoken softly as if he were merely muttering to himself—or perhaps offering Xayne a lesson.Xayne's heart stirred. Horin’s insight was astounding. The eight words—"No thoughts, no desires, no life, no death."—lingered in his mind. They placed Horin far beyond the comprehension of ordinary cultivators."Magnetic fields… are simply the pull of the stars. They have al

    "Do you yield?" Horin gazed at Xayne with a calm, indifferent expression.Fent and the others broke out in a cold sweat. Just a single finger—that was all it took. It proved that Horin’s power was unfathomable. Standing before him, they felt no different from mere ants. But what was even stranger was the complete absence of dominance around Horin. No oppressive force. No overwhelming presence. It was as if he, the heavens, the earth—everything—were one. His arrival, and that single finger strike, felt less like an act of man and more like the will of the universe itself.Xayne was beyond shocked. But he was not the only one. Andrea, watching the live broadcast, sat in stunned silence. He could hardly believe what he had just witnessed. Because the one who had been defeated—was Xayne.'Then what realm had this man reached? Quad-Radiant Commander? Rising Numen Commander? Or had he already ascended to Numen Commander?' The mere thought sent shivers down Andrea’s spine.The Light Order’s

    Xayne’s comprehension must have been immense—not only to counter Fent’s attack but to transform it into his own. Fent would have easily blocked this spear had he not taken that devastating palm strike.But now, his entire right side was caved in. One arm hung limply, the other completely empty. No sword, no weapon, not even a sliver of metal remained to block Xayne’s spear. It was no different from trying to catch a nuclear warhead.Yet, Fent had no choice. His retreat had already been cut off. If he turned his back, he would only meet a deadly stab from behind—a certain death sentence."If I die—then I'll drag you down with me!" Fent’s face twisted in fury. With only one thought in his mind, he lunged toward Xayne. He would deliver a lethal palm strike, even if it meant taking Xayne’s spear head-on."Master, he's going for mutual destruction!" From a distance, Esmond saw Fent shooting forward and cried out in alarm.But Xayne had already seen through him. And now, there was no turning

    Xayne appeared to be at his limit, yet in truth, he was far from it. From the Heavenly Tome, he had already mastered the Seven-Star Footwork to perfection. With the slightest lift of his feet, his positioning shifted unpredictably.Three consecutive strikes from Fent were missed completely. The sheer force of the sword energy alone shattered the nearby trees into splinters.Xayne lunged forward, spear in hand, as a formation flared to life around him. In an instant, multiple spear projections erupted outward, each infused with lethal intent, hurtling toward Fent from every angle."Not good! Fall back quickly!" Elder Stringer suddenly shouted toward Fent.But at that very moment, just as the spears were about to pierce into Fent's body, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Fent's lips. It went exactly as he had planned. From the very start, his attacks had merely been probing. Through those exchanges, Fent had already figured out that Xayne's strength was high, but his battle exp

    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
