Xayne’s single question made Gary tremble, sweat pouring down his cheeks. Xayne had killed two of the Trifecta Tigers and made one kneel, yet not even a minute had passed.Gary was terrified, especially as he watched Xayne approaching. The latter’s dagger dripped with blood as Gary’s guards froze.'Is he even human?'This one-sided massacre completely exceeded everyone’s expectations.‘Isn’t Xayne an Expert Warrior at most? How did he trounce the Trifecta Tigers? They were the most notorious villains of the Central Plains.’Gary tensed as his heart pounded with fear. He shouted, “Stay away! I’m the heir to the Waltons, a first-class family in the city with a wealthy heritage and assets of over tens of billions! You and your family will face endless pursuit from my family if you lay a finger on me!”He kept moving backward until he had nowhere left to go. His back was against the floor-to-ceiling window while Xayne stood before him with the Ravenclaw dagger.Xayne looked at Gary,
Xayne had taken Ariana to a hotel on the other side of town, where he asked for her car keys. Immediately after, he hopped into a red Porsche and sped away. It transformed into a streak of red lightning and vanished from Ariana’s view.She looked at the car anxiously as a sense of crisis enveloped her heart. She could not shake the feeling something terrible was about to happen.'Abel…'When a sudden realization struck her, she hurriedly called Xayne. However, his phone line was busy. She quickly sent him a text with a simple plea, “Please don’t harm Abel! He’s my brother!”Ariana felt drained when she sent the text. After all, she did not know how tonight would end. At that moment, she knew Xayne had become an inferno of uncontrollable rage. If Abel had committed something unforgivable, tonight might very well be his last night on earth.Meanwhile, Xayne called Ace and said, “Surround the Stillton Hotel now!”After hanging up and glancing at Ariana’s message, Xayne floored the a
Abel whipped around, only to see Xayne bursting in furiously. Abel stood up and roared, “How did you get in here?!”'Did the Trifecta Tigers fail?'However, the response he got was a swing of Xayne's fist.Bang!Xayne charged forward, his punch slamming into Abel's face, causing a crack to echo through the room."Ahhhh!" Abel flew and crashed onto the ground. He clutched his bleeding nose and mouth, howling in pain. "My nose, my nose... Xayne, you broke my nose again! I just got it fixed! I’ll kill you!"Abel lay on the ground with a fist-sized bruise on his face. His nose had snapped again, causing blood to gush. Several front teeth broke, too.Meanwhile, Xayne ignored the wailing Abel. The former approached the bedside and looked at Serena's current state, immediately realizing Abel had drugged her. Fortunately, Xayne arrived in time. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.He pulled up a blanket and covered Serena, murmuring, “Why are you so foolish? Why do
Abel felt utterly helpless at that moment.Meanwhile, Xayne’s eyes radiated a palpable coldness. He approached Abel, growling, “The Ghazalis, huh? I look forward to facing their wrath. However, you’ll pay for your mistakes tonight.”A bone-chilling aura filled the entire room, causing a chill to run down Abel’s spine. He sensed the impending doom and turned to flee, but Xayne threw several needles out, piercing into Abel’s leg.Thud!Abel fell to the ground again. Before he realized it, Xayne was already looming above him. Xayne grabbed Abel’s collar and lifted him, pressing him against the wall. The wall even cracked under the pressure.Abel saw the horrifying look in Xayne’s eyes at that moment. The former considered ending his own life.“You… You can’t kill me! Even if you don’t fear my family, what about your wife and chi—” Abel was desperate and panic-stricken.Xayne gripped Abel’s left shoulder without waiting for him to finish. The former twisted Abel’s shoulder and broke
Abel’s right leg was useless, and he could only lean against the wall while relying on his left leg. His gaze remained fierce as he pointed his gun at Xayne.When he saw Xayne’s expression finally change, he laughed maniacally and roared, “Get on your knees!”Xayne frowned while observing Abel, retorting, “Do you honestly believe that a gun can protect you from me?”Abel laughed and shouted, “Are you out of your mind?! I can blast your skull open with one shot. What, do you think you’re faster than a bullet? It’s over for you, Xayne. Get on your knees, or I’ll kill your wife!”Abel aimed the gun at Serena.Xayne never expected Abel to possess an illegal firearm in the small town of Shalholm. After all, firearm control was strict in Drakonia.Abel smirked when he saw Xayne’s grim expression. The former fired at the ceiling, creating a bullet hole, and a wisp of smoke came from the barrel.Bang! "See that? Hear the sound? I have a real gun! Do you think I'm bluffing? Get on your
Xayne flicked his cigarette and bellowed, “Men!”“Sir!” A thunderous response echoed."Fire!"Five hundred submachine guns fired toward Abel’s room. The loud noise shook his eardrums as the glass on the entire floor of the hotel shattered. Abel was stunned as sweat dripped from his forehead.‘Th-those were real soldiers with real guns. What’s going on?!’Abel even wished to die at that moment. He stared at Xayne and shouted in a panic, “Who are you?!”Xayne smiled coldly, saying, "That’s none of your concern, Abel. Put down your gun, and maybe you’ll have a way out."Fear washed over Abel, and he slowly lowered his gun. However, he suddenly revealed a sinister grin as he locked eyes with Xayne. “You’re dreaming! I’ll make you suffer for a lifetime!”He aimed the gun at Serena and pulled the trigger. Everything happened so suddenly that Xayne had no time to react. His eyes widened as he radiated a murderous intent. “You’re dead!”Xayne drew the Ravenclaw Dagger from his waist a
Serena was startled and nervously checked her clothes. Luckily, everything underneath was still intact. She wrapped herself in the blanket and moved back several times until she leaned against the headboard.Serena looked at the masked man with panic and apprehension.‘If I remember correctly, that mask is the same one Mr. White had at the Whitehorse Manor. I remember coming here to discuss a project with Abel, but why is Mr. White here?’Serena’s head spun as she only remembered being on guard against Abel after entering the room. The latter had been a perfect gentleman while discussing their cooperation. Gradually, Serena let her guard down and even drank the tea he poured her.However, she could not remember what happened after.The suite was in disarray, and the air carried a faint scent of blood. The suite's door and windows appeared to be shattered. 'What on earth happened?'Beneath the mask, Xayne could not help but smile when he saw Serena's nervous and frightened expre
‘I might need to get my eyes checked.’Ace sighed in relief after Serena left. He approached Xayne and watched him remove the mask. Confused, Ace asked, “Why did you wear that mask, sir? Are you afraid Ms. Serena might recognize you?”Xayne looked at Ace reproachfully and scolded, “You fool! I’m supposed to be having dinner and discussing cooperation with Ariana now. It wouldn’t make sense if I suddenly appeared here, right?“If Serena gets suspicious, it’ll cause a lot of trouble for our plans. I must be even more cautious now that the Bullards have surfaced. I will never forgive myself If those hidden individuals find out about my wife and daughter and try to harm them. Understand?”Ace quickly lowered his head and said, "Understood, sir. It was my oversight."Xayne furrowed his brows and looked at the white mask he held, saying, “Mr. White's identity is quite helpful. I can freely assist Serena with it. Ace, use Mr. White’s identity to acquire the Xavier Corporation that my fam
Even Delwyn himself hadn't anticipated how powerful the Heaven's Absolute Formations could be once he left the Christy family estate in Heavenly Peak. Back in Heavenly Peak, when he used the same technique, its strength had been far weaker.Now, watching the furious tornado, a maelstrom of lightning, and roaring winds rushing toward Xayne, Delwyn could already picture his rival's gruesome end.Suddenly, the stars above shimmered, their light intensifying as Xayne hurled his Ravenclaw dagger. A streak of brilliance shot straight into the heart of the raging tornado."Shatter!" Xayne roared, his voice echoing like thunder. A beam of starlight descended from the heavens, merging with the dagger. It plunged into the core of the tornado.The ground shook with a deafening explosion, and an eerie wail emerged from the tornado, a sound of anguish, almost otherworldly.In an instant, the tornado began to weaken, its destructive force visibly dissipating. Delwyn stared in disbelief. He watc
Xayne couldn't help but feel a twinge of curiosity, the Christy family had some formidable depth to their lineage.As Delwyn's body plummeted from the 18th-floor window, a chorus of gasps erupted from the crowd below."Oh my God! Someone's falling from the building!""Move out of the way!""Call an ambulance, quick!"But before anyone could process what they were witnessing, Delwyn twisted his body mid-air and landed on his feet. He staggered backward several steps, nearly losing his balance, but steadied himself by grabbing a nearby black sedan.At the same moment, Xayne leaped from the same floor, his figure cutting through the air like a hawk. He knew Delwyn wasn't an ordinary man. He can't be hurt even if he falls flat without resistance from a building with more than ten floors.No matter who it was, if they were a Divine Commander, the strength of their physical body had long surpassed that of a diamond. Not only could they endure falls, but even artillery fire might not h
As the purple lightning streaked through the window, Xayne closed his eyes halfway, focusing intently to bring his mind into a state of complete emptiness. It was only in this meditative void that he could attempt to recapture that fleeting sense of clarity.Though Xayne had once unleashed a similar formation in his duel with Lyuben, the essence of such formations remained beyond his comprehension. His execution was guided purely by instinct, a far cry from the mastery and stability demonstrated by Lyuben and Delwyn. Time-pressed against Xayne like a vice. He had less than a millisecond to react.If the purple lightning struck him, even as a Quin-Divine Commander at his level or if he was a level higher, the damage would be catastrophic, possibly fatal. Thunder Might of Heaven was something no human strength could withstand.The moment the purple lightning appeared in the suite, its devastating power became evident. Several elites who had been kneeling closest to the lightning's tra
Unfortunately, Heavenly Tome did not include the Three Absolutes Formation. There were, however, detailed descriptions of its complexity.This formation said to originate from the First Dragon, had long been forgotten, its full potential left unrealized by those who came after him. The Three Absolutes referred to: Heaven's Absolute, Earth's Absolute, and Man's Absolute. Among them, Heaven's Absolute was the most domineering, Earth's Absolute the most intricate, and Man's Absolute the most ferocious.Delwyn had only mastered the Heaven's Absolute. The pale-blue light curtain surrounding him seemed to embody the so-called Thunder Might of Heaven. If pushed to its limits, this formation could summon something akin to devastating lightning strikes, powerful enough to annihilate anything in its path. Be it life or matter, nothing could stand against such divine retribution. It bore an uncanny resemblance to the world-altering formation the Golden Dragon King had unleashed in times past.
Delwyn's confidence surged as he witnessed the effectiveness of his formation. Xayne's formidable Ravenclaw dagger had been effortlessly repelled, leaving Delwyn feeling invincible.No wonder the Christy family elders always stressed the importance of mastering their First formations. The Christy family's prominence wasn't solely due to their role as guardians of the First Dragon's tomb. Their mastery of ancient formations, some passed down from the First Dragon, was unparalleled, formidable enough to command respect even from the Five Great Mountains.Delwyn laughed triumphantly. The thrill of holding his ground against a Quin-Divine Commander filled him with elation. He had overestimated Xayne.Meanwhile, Xayne retrieved the Ravenclaw dagger, noting an unusual and elusive force surrounding it. Even he couldn't fully grasp its nature. As the dagger's momentum forced him back several steps, Xayne steadied himself, his eyes narrowing."Feeling humbled now, Xayne?" Delwyn smirked, hi
"You're courting death!" Xayne's words had barely landed when a figure rushed forward, grabbing his arm tightly."Mr. Xayne! Please, calm down! This might all just be a misunderstanding. You can't start a fight here, the consequences would be unimaginable!" Luther's face had turned pale with fear.Both men, Xayne and Delwyn were far beyond what he could handle. If anything happened to either of them in Folksberg, it would spell the end of his political career and likely his freedom."Misunderstanding?" Xayne's cold laughter echoed in the room as he pointed at Delwyn. "Using my name to scam and extort people was bad enough. Forcing women into unspeakable situations? If that's a 'misunderstanding,' then what isn't?"As he finished speaking, a powerful surge of energy erupted from Xayne, his aura soaring to its peak, a Quin-Divine Commander's aura, overwhelming and unstoppable. The force shook Luther's grip loose, leaving him stumbling back in shock.Luther took one look at Xayne's i
Xayne stepped into the suite with Yanny close behind, drawing the attention of everyone in the room.A collective gasp rippled through the crowd. The two men, Xayne and the imposter looked nearly identical.Even Yanny froze, her eyes darting between them.Before, when they weren't side by side, their resemblance had been noticeable but not striking. Now, face-to-face, their shared aura and presence were unmistakable.The difference was that Delwyn carried himself with an arrogant, almost oppressive authority as if the world were beneath him. In contrast, Xayne exuded a calm yet commanding energy, one rooted in confidence rather than superiority."What is going on here?" Luther stammered, clutching his wine glass.Delwyn was momentarily stunned to see Xayne, but he quickly regained his composure."Xayne!" he sneered.The charade was over. Delwyn saw no point in pretending anymore as he took a sip of red wine from his wine glass and an arrogant expression appeared on his face. Tr
"In Warren International Hotel. But, young man, we appreciate your kindness but you can't just throw your life away!" Channy turned toward Xayne, his face full of worry.Beside him, Renny chimed in, her voice urgent. "Serena is pregnant! If something happens to you, how am I supposed to explain it to her?""I've told you. I'm Xayne too!" Xayne's tone was firm, his expression unyielding.What he left unsaid, however, was the truth: the so-called "Xayne" they'd met before was a fraud.The problem was that the Riller family had all seen Delwyn. Compared to Xayne, Delwyn carried himself with authority and charisma far superior to Xayne.No one believed that this seemingly ordinary young man before them was the legendary King of the North."Renny, take me there," Xayne ordered, casting a glance at the bedridden Yanny. Seeing that she was no longer in danger, he turned back to Renny."I..." Renny hesitated, unsure.Before she could decide, Yanny struggled to sit up on her bed. Her vo
Without wasting a second, he led a small group of servants up to the second floor at a brisk pace."Miss Yanny! Please open the door!" Loud, frantic knocks echoed from upstairs."Sir, the door to Miss Yanny's room won't open!" the butler called down, his forehead glistening with sweat as he rushed back downstairs, his breathing uneven."Then what are you all standing around for? Break the door open!" Channy's voice cracked with panic, his face flushed red with desperation. He stomped his foot and beat his chest, his heart filled with regret. He loved Renny and Yanny very much. The words he'd spoken earlier were out of desperation and now felt like a blade twisting in his gut. If anything happened to his granddaughter, he'd never forgive himself.Xayne didn't wait for anyone else to react. He stormed up the stairs, his movements sharp and purposeful. Pushing past the Riller family's servants, he raised his leg and delivered a powerful kick to the door. It burst open with a loud cr
