A chill ran down Nathan’s spine when he entered. He realized Xayne was a moment away from firing the gun.

Meanwhile, the bloodied Fredrick kneeled. When he saw Nathan, he shouted, “Mr. Nathan, save me! You're my brother-in-law. You can't just stand by and watch me die."

Fredrick was younger than Nathan, and the latter’s sister took a liking to Fredrick. That was what made Fredrick and Nathan brothers-in-law. Nonetheless, Nathan now regretted allowing Fredrick into the municipal office.

Nathan would never have done it if not for his sister's insistence. After all, he knew what kind of person Fredrick was. Unfortunately, the latter charmed Nathan’s sister.

Fredrick would always go to Nathan whenever there was trouble. Now, Fredrick had offended someone he could not afford to.

Nathan stepped forward and slapped Fredrick, knocking out several teeth. The former scolded, “You’ve gone too far, you idiot! Do you even realize who you’ve offended? I shouldn't have brought you in all those y

    Upon hearing Fredrick's words, Xayne frowned. "Chandler? The heir to the Cann family?""Mr. Xayne’s asking you a question!" Nathan snapped."Y-Yes, he's the heir to the Cann family." Fredrick nodded, tears streaming down his face. "Mr. Nathan and Mr. Xayne, I'm a lowly municipal official. How could I defy Mr. Chander? H-He forced me into this situation. Please have mercy, Mr. Xayne. Spare my life!"Fredrick knocked his head against the ground, pleading relentlessly. Xayne's eyes turned cold, and a surge of killing intent emanated from him."Chandler Cann, huh?!" Xayne declared, his gaze sharp as he looked at Fredrick. "If you want to live, you should know what to do."Fredrick was confused.Before he could say anything, Nathan kicked him and shouted, "Why are you still here?! Go to Mrs. Serena and process her certification.""Oh? Yes, yes, I’ll do that immediately." Fredrick scrambled to his feet and left without composing himself. He spotted Serena and the others from a dista

    Xayne scratched his head, chuckling, “Oh? You must’ve misheard them. A friend of mind brought these materials from the military factory. When Fredrick claimed the materials were substandard, the folks at the military factory came knocking. I was merely a bystander. Anywho, it’s all settled now. Let’s head back.”Serena pouted in confusion as she gazed at Xayne, hoping to discern something from his expression. Ultimately, she found nothing.She sighed and said, "Thank you, Xayne. I wouldn't know what to do if it weren't for you. Fredrick thought he'd try such a terrible thing on me. He shouldn't be allowed to stay in the municipal office."She had a lingering fear as she reflected on what had happened.Xayne nodded and embraced Serena. "It's okay now. Fredrick won't remain in the municipality for long. He might just find himself in custody."Serena blushed as Xayne held her. Her heart fluttered inexplicably. The two seldom had a chance to be close, especially in public.Serena nes

    Xayne smiled and held Serena's hand. Under the chandelier, he spoke gently, "It's okay. You and Coco are my everything in life. I will spend my lifetime protecting you two."Serena sensed his sincerity, her eyes glistening with tears. She nodded and patted Coco’s head, saying, “Okay, I hope the three of us can always live happily.”The trio picked up their utensils and said in unison, “Let’s eat!”Such a heartwarming scene would evoke envy in others. Serena had waited five long years for this blissful life. She genuinely wished to freeze this moment forever, and Xayne felt the same.Midway through the meal, Serena said, "By the way, I've been looking into some information and advertisements about daycares. I'm considering sending Coco to one. That way, she can make friends and won't have to stay home all the time.“It wouldn't be good for her future development. Plus, you said you just found a job, right? That way, you won't have to be with Coco all day."Xayne nodded, looking at

    An assistant rushed into Chandler's office the following day. She panted while exclaiming, "Mr. Chandler, something's happened!"Chandler, amid a phone call with his mother, spotted the flustered assistant bursting in. He squinted at her and ended the call, asking, "What is it? Why the rush?"The assistant bowed and coquettishly offered, "I'm sorry, Mr. Chandler. I just went to the municipal office to find Mr. Fredrick. They told me the Inspection Center took him away on embezzlement and corruption charges.""What?! They arrested Fredrick? Why am I just hearing about this now?!" Chandler exclaimed in shock.'Why did Fredrick get arrested? Isn't he the brother-in-law to the chief of the municipal office?'"I don't know either. Our materials are still with Mr. Fredrick. What do we do now?" The assistant pouted with concern.Chandler paced around his office and declared, "I'll go to the municipal office and find Mr. Nathan for some answers!"He strode out of his office, driving him

    The chief secretary seemed puzzled. Suddenly, Nathan appeared and greeted from a distance, "Mr. Chandler, I'm sorry, I just returned."Chandler saw Nathan and quickly approached to shake the latter’s hand, "Mr. Nathan, nice to meet you. I'm Chandler from Windsor Corporation."Nathan nodded. "Mr. Chandler, your name has been making waves recently. Let's talk in my office."The two smiled at each other and then proceeded to Nathan's office. Nathan made a cup of coffee and offered it to Chandler, who accepted it with a smile.The atmosphere was slightly awkward. Still, Nathan smiled and said, "Mr. Chandler, since you're a businessman, let's get straight to the point. I'm quite busy here."Chandler cleared his throat, then chuckled. "You don't beat around the bush, do you? Okay, I'll be direct too."With that, he signaled his female assistant to present the generous gift he had brought. Chandler said, "That is a hundred-year-old whiskey I brought from the capital. They say it’s good

    Xayne raised an eyebrow and looked at Abel coldly. Then, he continued to read his magazine.Abel was dissatisfied with Xayne’s expression. After all, no one had ever disrespected Abel that way. He was the center of attention wherever he went because he was the scion of the Ghazli Corporation.The Ghazli Corporation was an upcoming giant enterprise and conglomerate in Shalholm. While this branch was in a small town, the headquarters was in the capital. The Ghazli Corporation headquarters was a first-rate major enterprise, with assets exceeding seven billion dollars.The Ghazali family was prestigious, and Abel held the title of one of the Four Scions of the Capital. He would not have come to this small town if it weren’t for his father.Abel was furious when Xayne ignored him.Abel’s female assistant pointed at Xayne and rebuked, "Hey, why aren't you standing? You have no manners at all. Who let you in?!"Xayne frowned and lifted his gaze. He glanced at Abel again and then at the

    Scarlett palmed her reddened cheek in shock. She tearfully grabbed Abel's arm, shouting, "Mr. Abel, she hit me! What did I do wrong?"Abel frowned at Ariana. He asked coldly, "Scarlett is my assistant. Aren't you disrespecting me by slapping her?"Ariana stared at Abel and replied, "So what? You better put a leash on your assistant. I'm Ariana Ghazali. How can a mere assistant make decisions for me? I hired Xayne as my bodyguard. Whoever dares to kick him out has a problem with me."With that, Ariana turned and stomped past Abel. Her imposing presence stunned Xayne.‘She’s impressive.’Xayne then stood up and moved to catch up with Ariana. However, Abel blocked him and said, “I suggest you resign. Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to make your life miserable. If I'm not mistaken, you mentioned yesterday that you have a daughter."Xayne stopped. His expression turned cold and sharp as he turned to Abel, saying, “If I find out you've laid a hand on my family, there will be only one

    "Mommy, it hurts so much!" Coco cried as she looked at her scraped knees and palms.Serena grew concerned, taking a tissue to clean Coco’s wounds. She comforted her daughter, “Don't cry. You need to be strong. I’ll take you to the infirmary in a moment.”Serena stood up and glared at the little boy. She spoke sternly, "Why’d you push her?"The little boy crossed his arms and glanced at Serena disdainfully. He then raised his middle finger and cursed her, "Stupid pig!"The four-year-old boy shocked Serena with his foul behavior.‘What an uncivilized child!’"Who are you insulting? Where's your guardian?" Serena was furious but could not bear to lay a hand on a four-year-old.A middle-aged woman ran over from the black Maybach. She looked at the little boy with concern and asked, "Oh my! Are you okay, sir?"The boy pointed at Coco with contempt, then shouted, "That stupid pig got in my way!"The woman turned, staring at Serena and Coco. She reprimanded, "Who are you two? You bet

    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
