Chapter 525
Author: Blanco Burn
Several eager and ready security guards approached Xayne and Serena. Serena hid behind Xayne, yelling, "We didn’t steal anything!"

However, Adam remained indifferent as he mocked, "We'll see if that's true after checking your bags."

As the security guards were about to take action against Serena and Xayne, a furious voice echoed behind Adam. "Stop!"

Adam shivered and turned around to see Nicholas rushing over angrily. The former revealed a fawning smile and greeted the older man, “Mr. Nicholas, why are you here?”

Nicholas was one of Bamboo Hills’s shareholders and also one of Adam’s bosses. He slapped Adam and scolded, “Who told you to kick Mr. Xayne and Ms. Serena out? They’re my distinguished guests.”

Adam was dumbfounded as he palmed his swelling cheek. He looked at Nicholas, then at the couple.

Nicholas glared at Adam and turned to smile at Xayne and Serena, saying, “I sincerely apologize for my subordinate’s misconduct. Please, come inside.”

Xayne gave Nicholas a cold look

    Xayne chuckled, "Did you forget why Mr. Nicholas invited us tonight? He needs a favor from us, so he has to cater to us. All right, don't overthink it. Follow my lead once we're in the private room."Serena nodded, and the two soon entered the private room, where Amelia awaited.She quickly approached Xayne with a fake smile, saying, “I apologize for my behavior before. I was too hasty and said things I shouldn’t have. I hope you, as a gentleman, won’t hold it against me.”Xayne raised an eyebrow, surprised that Amelia was apologizing first. He found it pretty interesting. While he casually glanced around the room, Nicholas hurriedly said, “Please, sit, everyone.”He raised his glass as everyone sat. “Mr. Xayne, Ms. Serena, I apologize to you two on my incompetent son’s behalf.”Nicholas then sipped his drink while his wife followed suit, saying, “I’m sorry, Ms. Serena. Abel is willful, and I’ve spoiled him too much. I hope, as a mother, you can overlook his actions. He will reali

    The group that barged in radiated a fierce aura, clearly not average folks. Most sported tattoos of dragons and tigers with ruthless demeanors. Anyone else would be scared still just by looking at them.However, Xayne remained composed as he sat still while holding Serena’s trembling hand. Xayne glared at the dozen or so tough-looking men who stormed in. He wiped his mouth and spoke indifferently, “Is this all you’ve got, Mr. Nicholas?”The atmosphere in the private room tensed as Nicholas sneered. “You still talk tough, even when facing death. Do you think I brought these people just to scare you?”He calmly pulled out a cigar from a box on the table, lit it, and took a puff. Nicholas crossed his arms and continued, “I don’t want trouble, but you must drop my son’s case. Otherwise, these people are more than enough to throw you, your wife, and your daughter to the bottom of the river.“Don’t doubt my capabilities. I can make it happen quietly. There will be no evidence, and I can

    "My arm! It's broken… It's broken!" The three men screamed in pain. Before they could look at Xayne, he kicked them all in one swift movement, sending them flying.Boom, slam, bam!The trio crashed into the wall, leaving distinct human-shaped imprints on the wall. The remaining tattooed thugs roared in anger and charged forward. "Kill him!"Several of them aimed their knives at Serena, who was seated nearby. Xayne's eyes narrowed as a killing intent surged from him, captivating the entire room. He effortlessly lifted a wooden plate from the table and hurled it.The massive plate struck a few thugs, slamming them to the ground with a thunderous crash. At that moment, the unfortunate thugs felt their ribcages shatter. They spat blood and writhed in pain and some even lost consciousness.Immediately after, Xayne lunged forward and grabbed one of the tattooed men’s wrists. He broke it and then caught the thug’s falling knife and flung it in another direction. The knife shot through

    Nicholas trembled as Xayne single-handedly lifted him. The former’s expression showed unimaginable fear as his complexion turned red, and his breath became labored.Nicholas shouted, “Let me go! I’m the chairman of the Ghazali Corporation, damn it! You better think twice about my influence and position in the capital. I’ll make you and your family’s lives miserable if you dare to cross me!”Amelia was shocked as she witnessed Xayne lifting her husband with one hand. She rushed forward to push and scratch Xayne, yelling, “Let go of my husband! You don’t know your place. The Ghazali Corporation is a multi-billion-dollar conglomerate. How dare a low-class guy like you offend my family?”“Shut it!” Xayne frowned as a cold aura emanated from him. He slapped Amelia, causing her to spin in place before falling to the ground. The slapped stunned Amelia into silence.She looked at the bodies strewn across the floor, some with brutal injuries while the others had broken limbs and bled profus

    When the couple reached the courtyard, Serena got off the scooter and asked, “Xayne, I know you can fight, but what you did tonight was too much. Things will get messy if Nicholas decides to pursue us. What if he tries to hurt us?”Her eyes were teary, and she felt helpless. After all, she might face the Ghazalis’ retaliation.Xayne caressed her face and smiled. “Relax, okay? I have everything under control. Besides, Nicholas is in Shalholm, not the capital. The Ghazalis can’t stir too much trouble here, no matter how powerful they are.”Serena wanted to raise more concerns but could only sigh in resignation at Xayne’s calm demeanor.After spending some time with Coco, Xayne took out a bank card and handed it to Serena, saying, "This is an advance payment of my salary. There’s thirty-five grand in there. Take it and enroll Coco in the school tomorrow."Serena was sitting in the bedroom and reading about Mr. White’s multi-million-dollar cooperation. She looked at the bank card with

    Elton squinted and said, "Enough of the speculation. Gavin, you handle their enrollment. I have something else to attend to." With that, Elton left the guidance office without looking back.'Damn it! What bad luck. I've prepared so much early in the morning, only to be greeted by a family like this.' Elton was furious.Although Les Petites Academy accepted students from ordinary families who could afford the annual thirty-five thousand dollar fee, Elton expected Xayne to drive at least a BMW, Mercedes, or Audi. Seeing someone riding a little scooter here was a first for him.Gavin felt awkward, too. He pushed his glasses and instantly dropped his smile. Xayne, carrying Coco, arrived just in time. He asked, "Excuse me, who is Mr. Elton?"Gavin answered indifferently, "You must be Xayne, Coco's father?"Xayne nodded. "Yes, I am."Gavin looked Xayne up and down, frowned, and muttered, "How are you shameless enough to enroll at Les Petites Academy when you ride a scooter?"Alt

    “Mr. Xayne, I must remind you that Les Petites Academy’s tuition fees are pretty high. You and your wife’s combined salary is less than three grand a month, and your child’s annual tuition is thirty-five grand.“How do you plan on paying for her education, and how can you ensure her future school expenses?” Gavin looked worried. However, he was not concerned about Xayne but rather about how he could profit from this situation.Gavin added, “You should know that our fees don’t cover your daughter’s daily expenses.”Xayne nodded and calmly asked, “How much more do we need?”“Seven thousand, and that’s the minimum,” Gavin said, “That’s for Coco’s basic expenses.”Xayne nodded again and said, “That’s not too bad. I’ll transfer it to you tomorrow.”Gavin sighed and stamped the documents. Then, he led Xayne and Coco to a classroom. Gavin knocked on the door, and a female teacher inside turned to greet them.Gavin said, “Ms. Lilian, we have a new student here. She just enrolled, so ple

    "You're just bragging!" The boy who spoke earlier shouted, "Your dad, buying a mall? You're just a big liar!"Coco hurriedly exclaimed, "I'm not lying!""Get her! She's a liar!" The boy shouted again and picked up his stationery, throwing it at Coco.The other students followed suit, throwing pens, brushes, and backpacks at Coco. Lilian shielded her and led her out of the classroom. Lilian knew she could not afford to offend the little children inside the classroom.Coco stood outside with teary eyes, aggrieved. Lilian squatted before the little girl and wiped her tears, asking with concern, “Are you okay, Coco?”Coco pouted and sobbed, “I didn’t lie, Ms. Lilian. I’m not a blockhead or a liar. My dad isn’t…”Lilian sighed, feeling some resentment toward Xayne.‘How can he be a father who deceives his daughter? He told her he bought a mall?’Lilian believed Xayne was just tagging along with his boss, then going home to brag to Coco about buying a mall.‘Coco said her father mee

    "There are more than thirty of them?" Xayne's heart pounded. That meant there were people even stronger than Horin."They're all waiting... waiting for the Ruins of the Dragon Clan to surface. In the end, anyone who craves that treasure will lose their life to greed. That is the cycle of the world." Horin gazed into the distance with a calm expression.He had not been avoiding conflict—he had been biding his time, accumulating power. Xayne could sense it in his eyes. There was ambition there. Every move Horin made served his ultimate goal. Even forging a connection with Xayne had been a calculated step to expand his influence.Xayne was a lone warrior, with no faction backing him. From Horin's perspective, all he had to do was lend Xayne a hand, earn his gratitude, and that was enough. That was why Horin had treated him so favorably. He had even shared some of his own insights, sharpening Xayne’s mindset, strengthening his abilities. Someday, Xayne might become one of his strongest ass

    Xander sized up Fent and spoke coldly. "Fent, will you not turn back from your misguided path?"Fent struggled to his feet, his glare filled with hostility. He spat on the ground and growled, "I will never stand on the same side as Xayne! And you, mark my words—when I return from this mountain, it will be the day of your demise. Just you wait!" With that, he dragged his battered body away, limping down the mountain path without looking back. Stringer and Yeti flanked him, offering their support as he leaned on them for balance.At the Heavenly Water Sanctuary, to the east, a towering waterfall crashed down in torrents. To the west, a quiet river snaked through the valley, its current slow and steady. At the river’s heart lay a tranquil pool, its surface untouched by the world beyond.A hundred feet above the gorge, nestled into the cliffside, a cave overlooked the breathtaking scenery. The air was crisp and pure, carrying the scent of fresh earth and mountain blossoms."Senior, this p

    Fent did not dare utter a single word of protest. Clutching his chest, he trembled as he knelt before Horin."How is your teacher?" Horin turned slightly, directing his question to Yeti."It has been a hundred years since I last saw him. I do not know," Yeti replied with the utmost reverence.Horin suddenly shifted his gaze to Xayne. "The secret of the Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars… lies like the self—no thoughts, no desires, no life, no death! It does not rely on the power of the stars! The world follows the Path of Veyara, but what is the Path of Veyara? The radiance of the stars is not true light." His words were spoken softly as if he were merely muttering to himself—or perhaps offering Xayne a lesson.Xayne's heart stirred. Horin’s insight was astounding. The eight words—"No thoughts, no desires, no life, no death."—lingered in his mind. They placed Horin far beyond the comprehension of ordinary cultivators."Magnetic fields… are simply the pull of the stars. They have al

    "Do you yield?" Horin gazed at Xayne with a calm, indifferent expression.Fent and the others broke out in a cold sweat. Just a single finger—that was all it took. It proved that Horin’s power was unfathomable. Standing before him, they felt no different from mere ants. But what was even stranger was the complete absence of dominance around Horin. No oppressive force. No overwhelming presence. It was as if he, the heavens, the earth—everything—were one. His arrival, and that single finger strike, felt less like an act of man and more like the will of the universe itself.Xayne was beyond shocked. But he was not the only one. Andrea, watching the live broadcast, sat in stunned silence. He could hardly believe what he had just witnessed. Because the one who had been defeated—was Xayne.'Then what realm had this man reached? Quad-Radiant Commander? Rising Numen Commander? Or had he already ascended to Numen Commander?' The mere thought sent shivers down Andrea’s spine.The Light Order’s

    Xayne’s comprehension must have been immense—not only to counter Fent’s attack but to transform it into his own. Fent would have easily blocked this spear had he not taken that devastating palm strike.But now, his entire right side was caved in. One arm hung limply, the other completely empty. No sword, no weapon, not even a sliver of metal remained to block Xayne’s spear. It was no different from trying to catch a nuclear warhead.Yet, Fent had no choice. His retreat had already been cut off. If he turned his back, he would only meet a deadly stab from behind—a certain death sentence."If I die—then I'll drag you down with me!" Fent’s face twisted in fury. With only one thought in his mind, he lunged toward Xayne. He would deliver a lethal palm strike, even if it meant taking Xayne’s spear head-on."Master, he's going for mutual destruction!" From a distance, Esmond saw Fent shooting forward and cried out in alarm.But Xayne had already seen through him. And now, there was no turning

    Xayne appeared to be at his limit, yet in truth, he was far from it. From the Heavenly Tome, he had already mastered the Seven-Star Footwork to perfection. With the slightest lift of his feet, his positioning shifted unpredictably.Three consecutive strikes from Fent were missed completely. The sheer force of the sword energy alone shattered the nearby trees into splinters.Xayne lunged forward, spear in hand, as a formation flared to life around him. In an instant, multiple spear projections erupted outward, each infused with lethal intent, hurtling toward Fent from every angle."Not good! Fall back quickly!" Elder Stringer suddenly shouted toward Fent.But at that very moment, just as the spears were about to pierce into Fent's body, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Fent's lips. It went exactly as he had planned. From the very start, his attacks had merely been probing. Through those exchanges, Fent had already figured out that Xayne's strength was high, but his battle exp

    Just as Fent unleashed his full-force attack, far away in the Skyveria Cave Heaven within Nindragon Mountain, a young man with long hair slowly rose from a white lotus platform. He turned to the elderly figure beside him and murmured, "Fent of White Blossom Mountain?" The elderly figure was none other than Xander. Xander frowned slightly and said, "Your Excellency, in truth, the moment Killian's descendant was attacked days ago, forces from outer battlegrounds had already begun their plans. This time, they've dispatched eleven Radiant Commanders just to erase the last glimmer of hope for Drakonia. If Xayne dies, the three Dragon Hearts will be masterless, and the Ruins of Dragon Clan will never be opened again!" Xander spoke with no emotion as if merely stating an unrelated fact. Upon hearing this, Horin Tamie, the Creator of Light Order, turned his gaze toward Xayne's distant battlefield before suddenly tilting his head back and laughing. "Xander, are you truly not worried about

    Xayne let out a sudden roar, and his Scarlet Dragon Lance erupted with a dazzling radiance. The void within hundreds of meters shuddered violently, while the earth beneath them cracked open with deep fissures. At this moment, the sky seemed on the verge of being torn apart by the overwhelming force. Xayne's aura surged to its absolute peak. "Elder Stringer! Hurry! You and I must join forces to kill him! He's burning his life force, he can't last much longer! Just hold out a little longer, and he will surely perish!" Fent roared at Elder Stringer. But there was no need for Fent to say anything; Elder Stringer and Yeti could already feel it. Xayne was igniting his very soul. Elder Stringer unleashed his full strength at that instant, his sword slashing toward Xayne with killing intent. They needed just five more minutes. Xayne's aura would surely weaken, and when that moment came, it would be the end of him. "Hold out? Do you think you have a chance to kill me?" Xayne let out a c

    After the relentless battles, Xayne was clearly at his limit. Fent refused to believe that Xayne could still put up a fight. He could distinctly sense Xayne's aura weakening. As the saying goes, "Strike while the iron is hot." With a sudden tremor of his body, Fent flicked his wrist, and the sword he had tossed aside earlier shot back into his grasp. With a single thrust, his blade erupted with a dazzling silver radiance, peerless sword energy piercing straight into the sky. Fent wasn't regarded as the peak combatant among the eleven just because of his raw power. It was because he wielded a lost secret formation from White Blossom Mountain, the "Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars."Strictly speaking, this formation surpassed conventional formations. It was a forbidden secret formation. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a peerless heavenly skill. The origins of the Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars could be traced back to the first ancestor of White Blossom Mounta
