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 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

    “Ah! Run, it’s a ghost!”No one knew who shouted, but the remaining thugs dropped their weapons and bolted for their lives. They scrambled into the vans and stepped on the gas.The leader was the first to run. He squeezed his hefty self into the van and shouted desperately, “We ran into a tough one! Step on it!”However, his men saw a godly apparition with a chilling aura standing before the van. The leader sneered, “Run him over!”The van revved and hurtled toward Xayne. He remained composed as he faced the oncoming van without intending to move aside. To everyone’s shock, he punched the speeding van head-on.Boom! An explosion sounded as an immense impact crushed the front of the van. Due to inertia, the vehicle lifted off the ground. Inside the van, the tattooed thugs flew forward.Crash!The windshield shattered as three bloodied and mangled figures flew out. The driver’s body jammed against the windshield, rendering him unconscious. Meanwhile, the leader was half out of t

    In the heart of Shalholm, Fenton sat on a sofa in a small villa. He held a seductive lady wearing a bikini. She teased him, creating a sultry and alluring atmosphere.Fenton grinned as he took a drag from his cigar. He had a stack of cash on the coffee table, totaling over a hundred and fifty grand.“Hahaha, okay! Perfect!” Fenton hung up the phone, beaming with satisfaction. He looked at the piles of cash and grabbed the lady, firmly squeezing her. He chuckled and said, “I got you in my grasp tonight, babe.”"Oh my, Mr. Fenton, you're so naughty—"Boom! The villa’s front door flew open, the entire door frame exploding inward. The two guards at the entrance flew aside and crashed onto the ground. They coughed blood and fell unconscious.Soon after, a figure radiating a murderous aura stormed into the living room. Xayne glared at Fenton and said menacingly, “You’re Fenton?”Fenton snapped to attention. His anger flared as he yelled at Xayne, “Who the fuck are you?! How dare you

    "What's going on? Where are all my men?!" Fenton cursed in anger as he began to sweat."What's wrong, Mr. Fenton?" The lady at his side began to worry.Fenton mustered his courage and said, "It's nothing—probably just a bad signal."Then, he turned and stared at Xayne. With an icy tone, he asked, "Who are you? What do you want?"Xayne replied, "Were you the one who ordered the attack on my family?"Fenton finally realized who Xayne was. Fenton felt slightly relaxed as he plopped onto the sofa and continued smoking his cigar. He spread his arms and sneered, “Hahaha, I never thought it’d be you, Xayne. Since you found your way here, Chase and the others have failed.“It seems you're pretty skilled. How about you work for me? I promise you’ll have more money than you can spend and more women than you can handle. What do you say?” Fenton grinned at Xayne.Strangely, the former became interested in Xayne.Xayne smiled faintly. “I don’t think so. You’ve got it twisted, Fenton. I’m he

    ‘Seven hundred thousand dollars for my left hand?! That’s extortion!’Fenton was on the verge of passing out, but he could only agree. After all, he had lost his right hand. He conceded through gritted teeth, “All right, I’ll listen! Seven hundred grand it is… S-Sir, I think I’m going to pass out. I need to get to the hospital…”Xayne chuckled, “Did I say we were done? Tell me who's behind all this, and then you can go to the hospital.”Fenton grew tense when the idea of betraying his employer came up. He knew it would be over for him if he ratted on his employer.‘This business has its own set of rules. I’m in a dilemma.Xayne sneered, “Since you won’t talk, let’s continue our transaction. How much is your leg worth?”“W-What?! Sir, please have mercy. My leg is worth nothing…” Fenton was in a panic.“1.4 million,” Xayne calmly stated.Fenton’s hair stood on end.‘This guy’s taking advantage of the situation. 1.4 million for a leg?!’Although Fenton was wealthy, he did not ha

    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
