Nicholas cleared his throat and stepped forward with a faint smile. He calmly addressed Carl, saying, “My apologies, Mr. Carl. My wife got carried away. Allow me to apologize on her behalf. We’re here to bail out my son.”

Nicholas had handled the situation smoothly. After all, ordinary citizens surrounded them, creating a scene that would not reflect well on the Ghazalis.

Carl looked at the middle-aged man and recognized him as an influential figure from the capital. Nicholas’s air of authority demanded respect.

Carl replied, “Mr. Abel, your son is indeed a suspect of attempted rape. We’re still investigating the case, so we cannot grant bail.”

Nicholas nodded slightly and remained silent before saying, “Should I call Mr. Abner at the Capital Patrol Bureau?”

Upon hearing that, Carl and the other officers looked uneasy. They would be in trouble if the matter involved Abner Lowry. It could even implicate the chief judge and Harold. Still, it was also a matter of strict orders from h

    All eyes turned to Xayne and Ariana as they entered. Nicholas and Amelia looked at the two and frowned slightly.“Who are you?” Nicholas’s assistant stepped forward and pushed up his glasses.Xayne raised a brow, looking at the man indifferently, stating, “I’m Xayne. The authorities arrested Abel at my request.”Amelia scrutinized Xayne’s attire, realizing how plain his clothes were. She rebuked, “Did you frame my son? Do you have any idea who we are? How dare you plot against Abel?”Xayne glared at Amelia in her flashy attire and asked, “You’re his mother?”“What’s wrong? Do you want to arrest me too? I’m Amelia Hawthorn, not an ordinary person. If you don’t let my son go, I’ll get someone to kill you,” Ameluia threatened. She spoke proudly, not taking Xayne seriously.To Amelia, a person from the lower strata of society had no right to shout at her. She held the power to decide a person’s fate and even life with just a word.Still, Xayne smirked, saying, “It seems the apple do

    “Nope. I saw nothing.”“Neither did I.”“Didn’t she slap herself?”Everyone teased Amelia, causing her to explode with anger. “How dare you humiliate me like this! Honey, these scumbags are mocking me. They don’t even respect us.”Nicholas’s expression turned grim as he looked at Xayne. The former removed his glasses and wiped them before putting them back on, saying lightly, “Do you know the consequences of offending my family?”His voice brimmed with coldness, showing his imposing aura of a big shot from the city. He faintly smiled as he looked at Xayne.Ariana hurried over and asked, “Dad, why’d you come here?”When Nicholas looked at Ariana, he remembered Xayne entering with her. Nicholas asked coldly, “Do you know him?”Hesitant, Ariana glanced at Xayne and nodded, “He’s a bodyguard I recently hired.”“What? You hired him?” Amelia raised her voice, “I knew your daughter was up to no good behind Abel’s back! Are you so jealous of our family that you resort to such low meth

    Xayne stunned everyone with his words. He displayed unparalleled confidence to speak such words against the chairman of the Ghazali Corporation. Even Ariana was astonished as she looked at Xayne.‘Why is he so confident?’Ariana tugged at Xayne’s sleeve and whispered with concern, “Xayne, stop talking like that. Did you forget what I told you before we came?”She knew arguing with her father like this would not end well for Xayne. Nicholas was a ruthless man who believed in retribution for transgressions. Otherwise, his business would not have grown so immensely.Ariana had a profound understanding of her father’s temperament and methods. He was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. With Xayne being so assertive, Nicholas would find a way to deal with him.Nonetheless, Xayne glanced at Ariana and said, “It’s okay. I can handle myself.”Ariana fell silent while her father looked solemn. Nicholas stared at Xayne piercingly and said, “Since that’s the case, let’s make a deal. If I bail my son

    Nicholas had agreed with a smirk. He knew he would win this bet with Abner’s support. Nicholas casually pushed up his glasses and explained, “Before we begin, I must remind you that Abner from the Capital Patrol Bureau issued an order for Abel’s release before you arrived.”Amelia beamed with arrogance by her husband’s side, taunting Xayne, “Hmph, you’re in for it now, punk!”Xayne responded, “Is that so? Since I’m here, things will change.”He pulled out his phone and called Harold, “I’m at the Silburg Division Patrol Bureau. Are you familiar with a Mr. Abner?”Harold was just leaving work as he answered the call. After entering his private car, he frowned and asked, “Yes, I’m acquainted with Mr. Abner. Has something happened, Mr. Xayne?”Xayne’s voice carried a stern tone, “He called and requested Abel’s release from here. Aren’t you aware of it?”Harold shuddered as sweat formed on his forehead. He knew about the charges against Abel. The latter had offended Xayne and attempte

    Clang!Henry nearly fell out of his seat. He paled and anxiously asked, “The Supreme Commander of the Northern Plains wants me to do this? Are you sure?”Harold urgently explained, “Do you think I’d lie to you? The King of the North is here in Shalholm and has kept his identity a secret all along. Abner has offended him and wants to protect the Ghazali Corporation’s hier, Abel. Do you have any idea what Abel got himself into?”Henry hastily wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, asking, “How did Abel get involved?”Harold instructed his driver to rush to the Silburg Division Patrol Bureau and continued, “Abel used a collaboration deal to lure the Supreme Commander’s wife to a hotel. Then, he drugged her and attempted to rape her.”Henry was astounded.‘Abel tried to defile the Supreme Commander’s wife?! That’s a crime worthy of a punishment Abel can never imagine.’“So, you’re telling me the owner of the Ghazali Corporation is using his connections to have Abner intervene?” Hen

    Nicholas’s gaze turned cold as he looked at Harold and spoke threateningly, “I suspect he framed my son. I’ve already contacted Mr. Abner. I believe it won’t be long before he contacts you.”Harold furrowed his brows. He chuckled dryly and said, “The big boss of a major corporation sure knows how to throw his weight around. However, Mr. Nicholas, it seems you might not understand what I mean.“You’re in Shalholm, and all cases fall under our Patrol Bureau’s jurisdiction. Even if you’re acquainted with Mr. Abner, that doesn’t allow you to bypass me and meddle in this case. Our principles are evident. We will not wrongly accuse the innocent or let a guilty person slip through.”“Perfect!”“Exactly! No injustice for the innocent and no leniency for the guilty.”“Hmph, did you forget you’re in Shalholm? How can an outsider call the shots here?”“You’re right. That guy thinks he can bend the rules just because he has money?”The surrounding onlookers were fired up, criticizing Nichol

    Abner sighed in relief when he saw Henry leading the team. The former stood up and chuckled, saying, “Mr. Henry, you wouldn’t be pulling my leg, would you? I’m a law-abiding citizen, so this must be a joke.”Abner grinned and offered Henry a cigarette. However, Henry remained indifferent as he rejected the cigarette and said, “Mr. Abner, or rather, Abner, I’m not joking. You are currently under investigation for suspected misconduct. Please put aside your pretenses.”Abner’s expression darkened. He let out a forceful laugh and said, “Are you really going to investigate me, Mr. Henry? Are you sure you have the evidence to prove I’ve committed misconduct?”Henry had expected Abner’s response. The former took a report file from his assistant and slammed it onto the table, saying, “You still refuse to admit your wrongdoing, Abner?! These are the two-year results of an investigation into your wrongdoings.”Abner shuddered when he saw the thick stack of report files. Sweat formed on his

    Nicholas turned to his daughter and said, “You’re the CEO of Shalholm’s Ghazali Corporation now, but don’t forget that Abel is still your brother!”When Nicholas, his wife, and their assistant left the Patrol Bureau, the common folk and patrol officers cheered. It did not matter if Nicholas was a big shot from the provincial capital. He still had to abide by the law.Ariana glanced at Xayne and then at Harold, asking softly, “Xayne, do you know Chief Harold?”Xayne shook his head and answered, “How could I possibly know him?”“Then, why is he helping you?” Ariana asked in suspicion.Xayne explained, “Harold is simply an upright patrol officer and a dedicated public servant.”Ariana raised an eyebrow and then left to explain things to Nicholas.Meanwhile, Harold looked at Xayne and then at Nicholas. One after the other, they left the bureau and entered the waiting cars parked at the entrance. When Harold and Xayne got into the car, the former grinned and said, “Mr. Xayne, my brot

    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
