"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

    However, Xayne suddenly stepped forward and said to Serena, "Serena, you need to think carefully about how they've treated you in the past. They're only claiming you as part of their family because they want to secure a partnership with the Linford Group."Serena trembled all over and looked at Xayne with her eyes red. "But they're still my parents and brother no matter what. Xayne, I've been waiting for five years. I really want to go home..."Xayne sighed helplessly upon hearing that. "Do you trust me?""Yeah!" Serena nodded firmly and said, "I trust you!"Xayne grabbed her small hand and said, "Then just leave it to me."After that, he turned around and looked at Tony and his family coldly before speaking to Evan. "I'm sorry, but we don't know any of them! They're not related to us in any way and Serena has cut all ties with the Swift family! Besides, he himself personally said that he disowned my wife!"Boom!Xayne's words hit Tony and his family like a bomb. He shocked ever

    Xayne and Serena went back to their car. Serena still looked lost in a trance and was very worried throughout the entire journey, as she could not stop bringing up the same thing over and over."Xayne, what do we do now? Are they going to hate us? The conditions you offered them were terrifying. What if Grandpa doesn't want me back ever again..."The more Serena talked about it, the more unsettled she felt.Xayne held Serena's tiny hand and comforted her, "Don't worry. I'm sure that they'll come begging for you to go back. This collaboration is a very rare opportunity for the Swift family! Your Grandpa will surely beg for your return if he wants the Swift family to improve its social standing and ensure its continuous growth.""But Grandpa's already so old. I can't bear to see him begging me. I'm afraid..." Serena was so kind-hearted that she was still considering Eric's feelings at this time."Serena, do you want to be looked down upon forever in the Swift family? Didn't you say

    "That's right! I can't believe Serena's actually turning her back on us! How could she listen to Xayne? Our family raised her and took care of her for so many years! She's nothing but an ungrateful traitor!"Everyone was fuming as they scolded Xayne and Serena.The expression on Eric's face could not be any darker as he spoke coldly. "That's enough! Keep quiet! Tony, Serena's your daughter. You'll handle this matter on my behalf."Tony sat at the side, looking hesitant. However, he had no other choice but to say, "Sure."But Violet immediately refused, "It's not going to work. Xayne made it clear that he wants you to go personally. What if he rejects us because you're not there?"Tim scoffed. "Violet, do you really expect my father to go beg in front of Serena? Who does she think she is? It would be an insult to our entire family if Dad gave in!""That's right! I wasn't expecting you to be as immature as Serena." Vivian chimed in."But..." Violet wanted to say something, but Eri

    Ace's demeanor stood in stark contrast to Xayne's calmness. His presence exuded an undeniable aura of power, leaving those around him unsettled. Violet, her cheek throbbing with pain from the slap, instinctively sought refuge behind Tony, her voice silenced by fear.Ace, a natural-born killer, possessed an intense gaze that could send shivers down the spines of even the most formidable individuals."Leave now, or face the consequences," Ace's words sliced through the air, each syllable dripping with icy coldness.Tony and Violet, overwhelmed by the weight of Ace's presence, took a few hesitant steps backward, their minds consumed by uncertainty and confusion.However, Royce defied the mounting fear. His voice rose in defiance as he pointed accusingly at Ace. "And who might you be? Mere guard dog of this villa! How dare you speak to us in such a manner? Do you have any idea who we are? We're from the prestigious Swift family of Shalholm! I am Royce Swift, Serena Swift's own brother!

    Led by Eric, the haughty Swifts arrived at the entrance of Moonbeam Hill Villa.When they got out of their cars and saw the magnificent and grand Moonbeam Hill Villa, they were all stunned."My goodness! Does that little slut really live here?!""Damn! This hill villa is probably worth at least ten times more than the Swift residence, right? Did she hook up with a billionaire?""T-this can't belong to Xayne Xavier, right? Could it be that the Xavier family left him a portion of their wealth back then?"The younger generation of the Swift family could not stop chatting among themselves.Eric looked at the enormous hill villa and was very shocked too.Sophia, who was standing beside Eric, had jealousy and envy written all over her face. She bit her red lips and cursed loudly, "Serena Swift! I can't believe that she lives in such a luxurious place, yet she pretended to be so pitiful in front of us! What a bitch!"She was bitter and jealous, imagining how wonderful her life would b

    However, Sophia's hand stopped in mid-air, grasped tightly by Xayne!"Do you have a death wish?" Xayne said coldly. Although it was not loud, it sounded very terrifying."Xayne! This is none of your business! Get out of my face now!" Sophia retorted in a vicious tone.Xayne scowled as his eyes turned cold and a surge of aggressive aura radiated around him.Sophia was frightened as she hurriedly took a few steps back and mumbled fearfully, "...What are you going to do?"Just as Xayne was about to teach the insolent Sophia a lesson, Serena held him back. She shook her head and said, "Xayne, don't do it. You promised me that you won't hurt them."Xayne sighed helplessly and let go of Sophia upon hearing that.Sophia quickly stood behind Eric after escaping from Xayne. She rubbed her wrist, which had turned purple from how hard it was being squeezed, and cried, "Grandpa, look at this. Serena has become more and more arrogant now..."Serena bowed down and repeatedly apologized, "Gra

    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
