Serena bowed her head down and began to walk very slowly after hearing the whispers and insults of the guests around her.

She felt anxious and confused, not knowing how to deal with those malicious words.

She had faced countless humiliations and contempt in the past five years, yet she had kept herself going and raised Coco without the help of anybody from the Swift family.

And she had to go through that because of that man standing next to her.

She was afraid, afraid that on such an important occasion, she would have to suffer the same criticism and insult from five years ago again because of Xayne! She feared that her parents, her grandfather, or just anyone from the Swift family would despise her because of Xayne. Serena did not want to be a shame to the Swift family again!

So, Serena felt very conflicted.

However, at that time, a warm and big hand suddenly grabbed her cold and delicate hand unexpectedly.

Serena looked up and her gaze met Xanye's bright, determined, and dotin

    "Ah! How dare you hit me! Who the hell do you think you are?!" Sophia yelled as she glowered at Xayne, her eyes filled with rage, desperately wanting to tear him apart!The members of the Swift family and all the guests were stunned!'Damn!'Xayne Xavier is out of this mind!'I can't believe that he actually hit Sophia!'What he did is a blatant insult to Mr. Swift.'"Ethan, get over here! This piece of trash just hit me! Look, my new nose is ruined!" Sophia exploded with anger as she yelled while stomping her feet in anger!Ethan recollected himself and quickly ran over. Then, he pointed at Xayne and shouted as he trembled with rage, "Hey! Are you out of your mind? How dare you hit my girlfriend? Do you know who I am? Don't you know I can make your life a living hell with just a single word? Get on your knees and apologize to her now if you're smart. Otherwise, I'll make sure you and your family suffer a fate worse than death!"However, Xayne swept his disdainful gaze across E

    The members of the Swift family all had disdainful looks on their faces upon hearing what Xanye had said.'This guy doesn't know his place at all!'Does he really think it's very easy to get those projects? If a stray like him can really secure those projects, then the entire Swift family will be beneath eve worthless trash like him!'Eric scoffed and said, "Xayne Xavier, Serena said that you had just returned and I'm guessing you probably couldn't survive in the military, and that's why you came back. You have no influence or connections at all. What makes you think you can handle this? Do you realize how many enterprises and families in Shalholm are desperately trying to secure those projects left behind by the Golding family? If you can manage to do what you've promised in five days, I'll not only allow Serena to return to the Swift family, but I'll also recognize you as my grandson-in-law!"Eric was still a very ambitious man despite his age. He knew very well that the status o

    "I'm giving these to you on behalf of Serena."Suddenly, Xayne spoke in a calm tone and instantly captured the attention of everyone in the Swift family."You?" Eric could not believe it and scolded in a cold voice, "That's enough! Do you really think that we don't know what you're capable of? You could never afford anything like this!""Hahaha! First, this guy blindly promises to obtain the projects left behind by the Golding family, and now he claims to have sent this birthday gift. How shameless!""Serena's so unlucky to be stuck with a piece of junk like you!"Serena quickly pulled Xayne's arm and whispered after hearing the comments, "Xayne, just stop speaking..."Xayne sighed helplessly and could not be bothered to explain himself. Then, he took Serena's hand while holding Coco and said, "The letter of intent to cooperate will be sent to the Swift residence tomorrow. Mr. Swift Sr., I hope that you'll keep your word."After saying that, Xayne left with Serena.The Swifts d

    "Yes, Supreme Commander. How may I help you with that?" Linford immediately responded.He was still shaking inwardly at this time!Xayne's aura was simply overwhelming. Although Linford was just sitting there, he felt suffocated."Pick some of the projects that the Golding family left behind and let Serena handle them. Remember, only Serena, no one else!" Xayne said in a cold voice."Understood," Linford quickly said. Even though he had no idea what Xayne was up to, he dared not ask him about it and merely followed his instructions."If there's nothing else, you can leave now," Xayne said flatly.However, Linford said hesitantly, "Supreme Commander, I have a favor to ask. In three days, there'll be a social event involving some influential people in Shalholm, and I'll be in charge of organizing it. It'll be a celebration for those families and enterprises that have obtained the projects left behind by the Golding family. Here are a few special invitations. I'd like to invite you

    After saying that, Violet angrily yelled at Tony, who was pacing back and forth in the living room, "Enough! You're making me dizzy! Look, this is what that useless stray your daughter brought home did to my son! I'll never forgive you if you don't do something to get back at them!"Tony was helpless. Violet would always be respectful to him in public, but when they were at home, things were the complete opposite.If it were not for that fact, he would have no qualms about his decision of divorcing Serena's mother and marrying Violet."Violet, Serena's already been expelled from our family. What else do you want me to do?" Tony said, spreading his hands in exasperation. "You saw for yourself, that Xayne bastard is nothing but a brute!" he continued."Hmph! Who knows if you still secretly want that disgrace to come home? Let me tell you right now, Serena's never going to set foot in our family again, not on my watch! There's no place in this house for her! Also, what have you prepar

    "Sophia..." Serena felt a little scared as she hurried pulled her hand back from Xayne.Sophia walked over, her face cold as looked at Serena and Xayne. "Don't you know what this place is? Hurry up and leave now. Don't embarrass our family! Can you afford to bear the responsibility if our cooperation with the Linford Group ends up being affected because of you?"Clearly, Serena was not prepared to face Sophia's aggressive words. She began to look hesitant and nervous as she looked at Xayne, "Xayne, I think we'd better leave now."However, Xayne said, "We're already here. There's no reason to leave. What if the Linford Group picks you?"Serena was taken aback as soon as she heard that.She had not held much hope to begin with.There were so many wealthy families and huge enterprises of Shalholm there. In contrast, she was just a weak-willed woman with nothing to offer. There was simply no reason for the Linford Group to pick her."What?" Sophia sneered and furrowed her delicate b

    "Enough! Stop talking to me. I don't know you!" Tony cut Serena off coldly. Then, he walked past her without looking bad.Serena sobbed softly, feeling helpless.She could not believe that her own father had just said that he didn't know her. It was simply heartbreaking and tormenting for her.At that time, the main entrance of the Linford Group was opened. A middle-aged man dressed in a black suit with glasses stepped out, followed by four soldiers in military uniform while carrying guns.Suddenly, the entire place fell silent!"I'm the representative of the Linford Group handling the projects left behind by the Golding family. My name is Evan Robinson. Now, listen carefully, the Linford Group will not work with anyone who brought gifts here today! Those who didn't bring a gift, please step forward!" That middle-aged man spoke loudly.At that instant, the representative of those wealthy families and enterprises at the entrance panicked.They were not expecting to be rejected be

    However, with Xayne's encouragement, Serena gathered her courage and walked forward, despite still looking very nervous.She caught the attention of everyone there, as she was the only person who had come here without a gift!And those who brought a gift suddenly remembered what Xayne had said earlier and hated him and Serena even more!"What's your name?" Evan smiled and asked, despite already knowing who Serena was. He had already received orders from Linford and had spotted Xayne from afar earlier."M-my name is Serena Swift," Serena replied weakly in a barely audible voice, trembling all over."Serena Swift? What company are you from?" Evan asked.Serena was at a loss because she was not working for any company, so she turned around and tried to ask for Xayne's help.However, Royce and Violet raised their hands and put on fawning smiles before Xayne could say anything.Violet said loudly, "The Swift Group. She's one of us, my daughter!""Yeah, she's my sister. My name is R

    Deanana glanced at Xayne as she coyly smiled. "Mr. Xayne, no need to be so reserved with me. After all, I used to be one of your admirers. I always thought you were an extraordinary man."Although it seems I misjudged you, still, you were a part of my girlish dreams. Don't let your current misfortunes bother you too much. People say a fallen phoenix is worse than a chicken, and while that's true, I happen to have a kind heart."Her words, though laced with laughter, were razor-sharp. Each one was a jab meant to cut deep.Her meaning was clear: "You might have been a shining star once, but now, you're nothing in my eyes—not even worth a second glance." Helping Xayne get his luggage was just an act, nothing more."Mr. Xayne, do you remember? Just a few years ago, at this very airport, you were returning from... oh yes, the Seven Nations Summit!"You know, I waited at the airport entrance for over four hours that morning just to get your autograph. But sadly, your security team didn'

    "Heh, Miss Deanana, you also know that's all in the past. Even if he were still the King of the North, we live in peaceful times now. No one gets special privileges, right?" Dean chimed in smoothly, his tone laced with mockery."Dean! Do you even realize what you're doing?!" Aava could not hold back any longer, her eyes glaring fiercely as she clenched her fists in anger."Of course, I know what I'm doing, and I know neither of you are ordinary people. Thinking about hitting me? Don't forget, there are plenty of reporters over there. If you dare lay a hand on me, I'll make sure Xayne's reputation is ruined," Dean replied smugly.Dean's sneer widened into a wicked grin, the confidence radiating from him undeniable."Manager Dean, how about this? To be honest, I used to admire Mr. Xayne. Why don't you do me a favor and return his belongings? It would be a great gesture," Deanana interjected with a gentle smile.Upon hearing this, Aava bristled with fury. She knew Deanana was up to s

    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
