Xayne's statement resembled a bombshell, causing everyone to explode in shock. 'What’s happening? Why did the Yowes conspire to murder the Supreme Commander and his family? That’s unbelievable!' Everyone questioned if they had heard correctly. Xayne intent to kill once again rattled everyone present. Gareth paled as he narrowed his eyes, unable to believe the information Xayne had just revealed.'How dare they conspire to murder a Supreme Commander?'Then, Xayne stood with his hands behind his back, asking, "Are there any objections to annihilating the Yowes?""That..." Silence fell over the entire room once more. The influential figures were stunned, still trying to process the shocking revelation. They knew the Supreme Commander did not visit the Yostow province in the middle of the night for mere amusement. This event could overturn Yostow province’s power dynamics.No matter how powerful the Yowes were or how complex their web of influence was, they courted disaster aga
Meanwhile, the four elders of the Drakonia council looked concerned.Hammond roared, "The Yowes are outrageous for plotting against Xayne! To defy Drakonia is a crime deserving of the destruction of nine generations."Notify the Yostow province's leader and warn the Yowes to devise a substantial compensation plan. We must appease the wrath of the Supreme Commander. Otherwise, Yostow province will be without the Yowes!"His military aide responded, "Yes, sir!""Wait!" Hammond halted the departing aide gravely. "Report the situation in the Northern Plains Military.""Yes!" The military aide saluted, then left the Drakonia council's conference room.Hammon took a deep breath as he glanced at Warren, sitting at the head. The former asked, "What's your take on this?"Warren remained silent before saying, "Do you think that kid will forgive the Yowes, considering his temperament?"The other three elders trembled at his words. Hammond’s heart sank as he asked, "Warren, what are you su
A nation with two Celestial Dracarium Commanders held sway over all other countries.Warren paced back and forth in the conference room gravely. Finally, he picked up the phone and dialed the South Canyon Military Headquarters number. "Supreme Black Dragon, this is the Drakonian council. I'm Warren Jent. The Star Troopers were dispatched from Northern Plains four hours ago. They are now outside Clovelly in Yostow province, which is under your jurisdiction. "No one touches the soldiers. It’s an order from the Drakonian council. You must avoid any conflict with the Supreme Commander. The Drakonian council will bear any consequences."Meanwhile, men and women in military uniforms stood solemnly in the South Canyon Military Headquarters’s command room. They gazed at the middle-aged man standing before the headquarters’s topographical map.He was the Supreme Black Dragon, Rex Palmer.Rex was robust and exuded a commanding aura. He stood imposingly with his hands behind his back, wea
Maximillian’s statement caused the atmosphere in the grand hall to grow tense. Each family member looked outraged and determined.Maximilian’s younger brother said, “Don’t be sad, Kimberly. With your father and uncle’s support, no one will lay a finger on our family. None can harm our family’s bloodline and live to tell the tale.“Even Kenneth, Harold, and Linford can’t withstand our family’s fury." Brennan, the second elder of the Yowes, was a well-known figure in the province. All the underground tycoons of the Yostow province were pawns nurtured by Brennan. While Maximillian was a prominent figure on the surface, Brennan was the most revered figure among the underground forces of the province’s nine cities. People often called him Big Bren, the Yostow province’s overlord.Brennan's every move and word represented the will of all the underground powers. None of the underground tycoons dared to oppose him. He even resolved many matters his family couldn’t handle on the surface.
Maximillian nodded to the suggestion, then frowned. "That's not enough. Move one-fifth of the family's wealth and launch an assault on Venzor’s major enterprises and stock market. I want those secret figures to know what awaits them when they cross my family!""Okay, Mr. Maximilian. I'll handle it right away." The middle-aged man stood up promptly. Following that, Maximillian turned and looked at Brennan, saying, "Issue orders to the underground forces to make ample preparations. We're in a tough battle this time and can't afford to be complacent. After all, we're dealing with all of Venzor, not just an enterprise.""Rest assured, Maximilian. I'll notify them immediately," Brennan said, already retrieving his phone.Then, Maximillian stood with hands behind his back and gazed at the entrance. He turned to an elderly man at his side, saying, "Uncle, you have numerous connections within the system. You should have some dealings with people in Venzor as well.“I need you to use your
The Yowes stood up in surprise, looking toward the figures at the door. Leading the way was Xayne, and behind him were the other Drakarium Warriors. The eight figures disrupted the atmosphere.The Yowes’ enforcers entered from all directions, their fierce gazes on Xayne and his group. Maximilian rose to his feet and looked at the figures at the door.Maximilian sneered, “You must be Xayne. You’ve got balls to barge into my family’s villa with only a handful of people. Don’t you know that my family is the wealthiest in the Yostow province?”The various Yowe family members looked at Xayne and his companions disdainfully.“We never expected you to meet your doom personally. Hahaha! You saved us a lot of trouble finding you.”“Kimberly, we will make Tristan and Andre’s killer kneel before their graves and atone with his life.”"Hmph, how arrogant of you to show up here! You’re seeking death by intruding upon the villa!"The Yowes smirked with contempt for Xayne and his group. The Yo
Kimberly did not deny Xayne’s claims. Instead, she declared, “That's right, I did! It's a shame I failed to kill your wife and daughter in that crash."Xayne frowned as his rage consumed him. His aura left the Yowes family dumbfounded. 'What a terrifying presence! How can he exude such an overwhelming aura?'Xayne’s intensity was beyond belief. Maximillian and Brennan, accustomed to grand spectacles, found themselves in an unprecedented murderous intent emanating from a young man. ‘This is bad! Was our information wrong? Is he more than just a good-for-nothing?’Maximillian and Brennan exchanged concerned glances.The now frightened Kimberly stammered, "W-What do you want? Don’t forget where you are! If you act recklessly here, it's over for you!"She panicked at Xayne’s fearsome presence. His aura resembled the most furious storm imaginable.Xayne roared furiously, "Do you know what Tristian and Andre did? Tristian caused a car accident that almost killed my daughter. Then,
The aura emanating from Xayne left the members of the Yowe family stunned. Xayne even spoke boldly as the family exchanged puzzled glances.Initially, Maximilian was shocked but then burst into laughter. “Hahaha! I’ve roamed Yostow for decades but never encountered anyone as bold and clueless as you. Yostow is nothing without my family. I’d like to see how you erase my family from this land.”“What an arrogant young man! Our family can wipe you out with a snap of a finger!”“Hahaha! What an amusing young man. Who does he think he is? Even the Supreme Black Dragon visits us whenever he’s in Yostow. Does that young man think he’s more formidable than the Supreme Black Dragon?”“How ridiculous. The Supreme Black Dragon is a mighty figure beyond that kid’s imagination.”The Yowes sneered and mocked Xayne, but he remained silent as he turned to leave with the Dracarium Warriors. However, the Yowes’ henchmen surrounded them.Maximilian waved and said through gritted teeth, “Let them go
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
