Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 365
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.

Marianne scoffed disdainfully, “It’s funny to hear a useless man talk about making amends. How cute!”Xayne’s expression darkened as he emanated a cold aura.Violet rebuked, “Enough! Xayne, you have no say here, so just sit quietly. I’ll throw you out if you dare speak again.”Xayne took a deep breath and tenderly glanced at Serena.Violet said apologetically, “Marianne, don’t stoop to this useless person’s level.”Marianne snorted and turned toward Serena. The former stood up with a glass of wine and approached Serena with a fake smile, saying, “Serena, long time no see. Let's have a toast, shall we?”Serena did expect Marianne to offer her a toast. The former felt flustered and stood up. “Marianne, I can’t drink now—”Before Serena could finish, Marianne splashed her wine on Serena, painting her clothes red. Marianne expressed fake concern, “Oh, I’m so sorry, Serena! I lost my balance. Are you okay?”Serena was stunned as she took a deep breath, her eyes welling with tears. S

Everyone in the room gasped in shock.‘How dare Xayne say Morris isn’t worthy of toasting with him?!’Though Morris was just a deputy, his role was equivalent to a high-ranking official at a county government in Shalholm. Even officials from the Shalholm Tax Bureau would nod in respect when meeting Morris.After all, taxes from Shalholm to the provincial city had to go through Morris. Moreover, he had connections and influence in the provincial city. Still, Xayne dared to reject his toast.Morris was furious. He slammed his glass onto the table, shouting, “Very well! Then I won’t drink this wine!”In an instant, the atmosphere in the private room became heavy. Charise pointed at Xayne and reprimanded Violet, "What's with your son-in-law’s attitude? Does he look down on my husband?"Marianne added, "Serena, what's your husband trying to do? Is he picking a fight with us? We invited you for a meal out of courtesy, yet he behaves poorly. How dare he underestimate my family?”Violet

Violet scolded Xayne, “You spineless bastard. Why don’t you apologize to Morris and Chandler?! Must we all suffer because of you?”Tony added, “Xayne, you’ve caused enough trouble. Apologize, now!”Xayne remained calm and indifferent. Immediately after, Violet and Tony turned their rebukes to Serena. Finally, Xayne helplessly raised his glass to Morris, saying, “I apologize for earlier, Uncle Morris. I hope you can overlook my mistake, sir.”Morris scoffed after finally regaining some dignity.Serena looked at Xayne with a hint of guilt and whispered, “I’m sorry. I caused all this.”Xayne smiled and said, “It’s okay. I’d give up everything for you. It was just an apology, so it’s no big deal.”Serena felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing that. However, the atmosphere in the private room remained awkward. Suddenly, Morris received a sudden call. After seeing the caller ID, he spoke into the phone with deference, “All right, I’ll go and greet him immediately.”Morris beamed when

Morris and his family could not suppress their shock as Chuck hurried to shake Xayne’s hand. After all, Chuck was the wealthiest man in the city and a financial powerhouse who commanded respect in the city's economic circles.A figure of such caliber did not bother shaking hands with Morris yet was thrilled to greet Xayne instead. Morris and his family were devastated. They looked like they had forgotten to breathe as they watched Chuck’s interaction with Xayne.Meanwhile, Xayne held Coco in his arms and nodded. However, he did not shake Chuck’s hand. The scene shocked the others even more.Morris could feel beads of sweat forming on his head.‘How dare Xayne embarrass Chuck like that?!’Morris was so shocked that he had forgotten about Chuck’s disregard for him. Instead, the former rebuked Xayne, “What are you doing, you idiot?! Mr. Chuck wanted to shake your hand, yet that’s how you respond?!”The others only regained their senses after hearing Morris’s furious shout.Chandler

Xayne held Coco as he said, “Apologizing to me won’t suffice. You owe my wife and her family an apology.”Marianne grew annoyed upon hearing Xayne’s words. She retorted, “Don’t push your luck, Xayne! We know you’re a nobody. Don’t assume having a connection to Mr. Chuck allows you to act recklessly.”Charise followed suit, “Who do you think you are to demand an apology from us? My son-in-law is the heir family. We can simply choose not to open a company in Shalholm.”Of course, she spoke out of anger, and Chandler would disagree with her.Xayne raised a brow and prepared to leave with the stunned Serena.Chuck followed closely after angrily scoffing, which made Morris panic. The latter slapped Marianne and reprimanded her, “Quiet! You’ve gone too far. How does offending Mr. Chuck benefit us? Apologize now!”The slap left Marianne in a daze. She looked at her father fearfully because he had never struck her before.“I-I’m sorry, Serena. I shouldn’t have spilled wine on you earlie

“Everyone, out of the car! Now!” The leader, a tattooed brute, slammed his steel rod onto the car’s hood.Serena held Coco tightly, trembling. She asked, “Xayne, who are they? Should we call the police?”Xayne turned and smiled at Serena and Coco in the back seat. “It’s okay, I’ll handle it. You and Coco stay in the car but don’t get out no matter what you see. Understand?”Serena nodded. Her heart pounded as she watched Xayne leave the car. She could not help but say, “Be careful!”Coco clenched her fist and encouraged Xayne, “Go, Daddy!”Xayne smiled before pushing the car door open. It sent three thugs flying. They groaned as they fell into a nearby bush. Xayne calmly stepped out of the car and locked the door before lighting a cigarette and taking a drag.After exhaling the smoke, he asked, "Who sent you?"The thugs in the bush got up, grimacing in anger. One yelled, “Damn you, you little runt!”Another thug swung his baseball bat at Xayne’s head.Snap!Xayne caught the b

Indeed, at this moment, Xayne had to admit it. While the Christy family had fundamentally misunderstood the origins of formation techniques, their ability to wield them to such a degree was nothing short of extraordinary.No wonder the major organizations held such an ambiguous stance toward the Christy family. Even the Kickboxing Association treated them with near-reverence, like deities.Inside the mansion, the soft cry of a baby echoed once more."That's enough. Let's not disturb the child." Xayne's expression remained calm as he gazed at the swampy ground beneath his feet. His voice was steady, almost indifferent.The crowd froze, their eyes locking onto Xayne as if he were a lunatic.At this point, Xayne could barely move. And yet, he still dared to speak such bold words.'That's enough? Was he serious? Forget everything else—how was he planning to deal with those black vines?' Alfonso thought to himself.And Alfonso had already played all his cards. A seasoned powerhouse l

Divine's Trance was also a key ingredient in an ancient anesthetic once used by a legendary herbalist known as "Horace Med." The concoction was so potent that even Divine Commanders would succumb to its effects, which led to the name "Divine's Trance."Alfonso clenched his jaw, squinting his eyes as he glared at Xayne.From the sidelines, Madoc muttered, "Looks like Alfonso's in trouble this time. What are the odds of Xayne stumbling upon the drug's weakness like that?"Breaking the effects of Divine's Trance by luck. It was almost laughable how fortunate Xayne was. Had this battle taken place closer to dusk, Alfonso's plan might have succeeded flawlessly. But under the glaring midday sun, fate seemed to favor Xayne.At the start of this fight, Alfonso had been the clear favorite. But one twist after another turned the tide. First, Xayne dismantled Alfonso's "Heavenly Peak's Seven Sword." Now, the sunlight's interference rendered Divine's Trance useless.Even though the warriors o

At this moment, everyone suddenly realized the truth, this was the true power of the Christy family.The Christy family of Heavenly Peak had always been shrouded in mystery. No one knew how many secrets were hidden in the First Dragon's tomb.Alfonso, despite his seemingly grand presence, was merely a liaison for the Christy family, a small player tasked with managing external relations. And that fact was what made it terrifying.If someone so "insignificant" could employ such overwhelming formations, enough to leave Xayne completely helpless, the true strength of the Christy family might be unimaginable. Previously, Lyuben, representing Heavenly Peak, had battled Xayne in the Drakonix and the result was terrifying. Xayne barely had to break a sweat before defeating and killing Lyuben in front of everyone.But today, Alfonso had rendered Xayne defenseless. The key issue was that ever since the First Dragon was buried deep in history, all its powerful formations had been lost to tim

"Xayne, feeling numb all over yet?" Alfonso sneered, his voice dripping with triumph."I'll let you in on a little secret. This is the Christy family's unique Blood Acacia! Once it touches you, there's no escaping it. The more you struggle, the faster your strength fades!"Alfonso's expression grew more confident with every word. "The foundation of the Christy family isn't something a brat like you could ever comprehend. Still, you've truly surprised me. To push me to reveal this trump card at your age is no small feat!"He sighed mockingly, "Give you another ten years, perhaps I wouldn't be your match. But today? You're still too weak to go against me!"Standing with his hands clasped behind his back, Alfonso exuded a commanding aura, his demeanor now towering and unassailable. His gaze swept over the crowd, those who had just moments ago been prepared to bow before Xayne in submission. His lips curled into a disdainful smirk. "For decades, I, Alfonso, have dominated the world.

Seeing Xayne leap toward Alfonso, the latter retreating in obvious desperation, most spectators dismissed Madoc's earlier warning as unnecessary. A man on the verge of death couldn't cause any massive chaos.The crowd's focus shifted to Xayne. They were already planning how to bow to him in reverence after he killed Alfonso, hoping their submission would spare their families and circles from annihilation.But just as Xayne closed within five steps of Alfonso, an unexpected shift occurred. Alfonso's eyes suddenly gleamed with an intense light, and his body erupted with blood-red radiance."Let me show you the true foundation of the Christy family!" Alfonso shouted.The sight of the crimson light sent a chill through the crowd. Only now did Madoc's earlier words resurface in their minds, but it was already too late. From Alfonso's body, waves of scarlet light surged outward, radiating an unbearable heat.Xayne frowned slightly as he felt the scorching force. The crimson aura wasn't

Alfonso let out a roar of fury, raising his Seven Death Star Sword and slashing toward Xayne."Xayne, you may be formidable, but you will never kill me! I am Alfonso! I am the true Divine Commander among the Divine Commanders!" His voice thundered across the battlefield, his words carrying an unyielding arrogance.This strike was unlike any before. It bore no dazzling light, no blinding sword aura, just a simple, slash. Yet, within its simplicity lay an incomprehensible force, an extraordinary power Alfonso himself had never wielded before.For the first time, he wasn't relying on the Christy family's formations. This was his power."Ah, it seems you've finally begun to realize something," Xayne said, his lips curling into a faint smile.The astonishment in Alfonso's eyes betrayed his realization: the notion of "man triumphing over heaven" was no longer an abstract concept but something tangible. But he would never truly grasp its essence.The Scarlet Dragon Lance in Xayne's hand

Xayne's grip faltered, and the Scarlet Dragon Lance fell to the ground with a resounding metallic thud."Xayne, how does it feel now? Still think the Christy family misunderstood the formation?" Alfonso burst into laughter, his confidence soaring.In his eyes, Xayne was already a defeated, frail old man. Even the weapon in his hand had betrayed him, falling uselessly to the ground. Such a decrepit figure could not pose any threat. Yet just as everyone assumed Xayne's demise was certain, he took a step forward.The moment his foot touched the ground, the world changed. The crimson sun that had dominated the sky began its descent. Scarlet rays dimmed, replaced by the soft glow of twilight. Stars emerged, shimmering in a deep blue sky, and a brilliant full moon rose overhead, bathing the earth in silver light."Time doesn't flow because of your formation, Alfonso. What you create is nothing more than a powerful illusion. The brilliance of the Christy family's formations lies in their

The Wyncock disciple's trembling voice echoed, his weathered hands shaking as he stared at the elder before him.A mere youth in his twenties, he now bore the visage of an elderly man, his hands calloused, his face etched with wrinkles. His master, barely able to lift his eyelids, cast him a helpless glance before sighing deeply.Alfonso stood proudly, his hands clasped behind his back. Despite the bruises on his face left by Xayne, his demeanor remained arrogant. "Xayne, now do you understand? Time itself is the ultimate weapon. Since my debut, I've never used such a profound formation. You should feel honored. It's a first, just for you!"Alfonso's voice dripped with disdain as he continued, "Since you're about to die, let me unravel the mystery for you. Have you ever wondered why Drakonia has so few Divine Commanders?"The crowd fell silent, the air thick with unease. Alfonso's words struck a nerve. For centuries, Drakonia had produced countless powerful warriors, including Radi

The crimson sunlight bathed everyone in its eerie glow, aging them by more than a decade in an instant.No one understood what kind of formation this was. Everyone's hearts trembled with fear and disbelief. Even Xayne was not spared. Threads of white hair appeared on his head, and his aging progressed far faster than anyone else's.Watching Xayne wither before his eyes, Alfonso erupted into wild laughter. "Xayne, do you see now? I don't even need my sword to kill you! The Three Absolutes Formation is far beyond your comprehension! Let me enlighten you, this is the Earth's Absolute Formation!"Gasps rippled through the crowd as they absorbed Alfonso's revelation. The Earth's Absolute Formation could accelerate aging at such an incredible rate.Xayne, his face lined with wrinkles and his voice now hoarse and brittle, slowly raised his head. "According to the Christy family's interpretation, the Heaven Absolute Formation stirs storms and commands the wrath of the skies. The Earth's Ab
