Chapter 53
Author: Blanco Burn
It was obvious that Sophia had purposely placed that tiny table there to humiliate them in front of everyone, implying that they could never sit at the same table with the Swifts even though they returned to the family.

Xayne was not bothered. However, Serena looked at him with apologetic eyes and whispered, "Xayne, I'm so sorry that you have to sit here with me and endure their criticism and insults."

Xayne smiled and patted Serena's tiny hand. "Don't worry about it. As long as you and Coco are by my side, that's all that matters to me."

"Daddy, I want to eat that..." Coco pleaded. She was sitting beside Xayne, pointing at a cream pastry on the table.

After the three top doctors treated her continuously for a few days, Coco's sight had recovered by seventy to eighty percent, but there was still a very thin silk layer covering her eyes.

"Sure. I'll get it for you." Xayne touched Coco's tiny head dotingly.

But Sophia suddenly walked over, a mischievous glint in her eyes, and threw

    Sophia's dissatisfaction was written all over her face as she locked eyes with Eric, her grandfather. Her voice laced with annoyance, she questioned, "Grandpa, why are you defending that loser and his child? I'm your granddaughter, after all. I..."Interrupting her, Tim and Vivian chimed in, adding their own protestations, "Dad, don't you think it's going too far to ask Sophia to apologize to that illegitimate child?""Yeah, Dad. Sophia is our daughter, and it's quite embarrassing for her to apologize to some nameless little thing."Eric's expression remained stern as he reiterated his demand, "Apologize to Coco right now! Don't think you can behave like a spoiled brat just because you're my granddaughter. You are in the wrong this time! If word of this ever gets out, people will think that our family is nothing but a bunch of bullies, stooping so low as to mistreat a defenseless child."Sophia stomped her feet and pouted, clearly reluctant to comply.Feeling pressured by their fa

    Everyone suddenly stopped flattering and praising Ethan. They curiously and confusedly turned to Xayne, who was still holding Coco in his arms while sitting at the small table."What are you talking about?!" Ethan's face immediately darkened. He cursed inwardly, 'You motherfucker! I haven't even got my revenge on you for beating me up that time! How dare you interrupt me and try to steal my limelight now!?'The Swifts sensed the atmosphere and couldn't contain their disapproval. Glances were exchanged before they scolded Xayne in unison. "Xayne Xavier! Who do you think you are? Do you believe you have the right to speak here?"One of the Swifts demanded an apology from Xayne, their voice filled with authority. "Apologize to Mr. Brown immediately! He's a friend of the King of North, and if he becomes angry, a single word could annihilate the entire Swift family!""Seems like you've got brawn but no brains!" Another person interjected, "Serena, is this really the idiot you insisted o

    The eyes of the Swifts sparkled upon seeing the five invitation cards. These invitations were like golden tickets, granting access to the highly anticipated welcome party organized by the esteemed military headquarters of Venzor. It was an exclusive affair, reserved for the crème de la crème of society. What made it even more thrilling was the fact that the event would be graciously hosted by none other than Lieutenant Haith himself. This alone was enough to make everyone absolutely desperate to attend.But that wasn't all. The icing on the cake was the expected presence of the Supreme Commander of Northern Plains. His esteemed appearance transformed the event from a mere welcoming party into something far more significant.The prospect of catching a glimpse of the Supreme Commander sent countless people into a frenzy, as they brainstormed and schemed to secure a chance. Until now, they could only see him through the television news, and even then, he never revealed his face.Litt

    The entire living hall fell silent.Everyone looked at Xayne curiously, followed by a burst of loud laughter."What? What did he just say? A truckload of invitations?""Xayne, would it kill you to stop bragging? You're just making a fool out of yourself!""Unbelievable! Why would Serena bring home such a big-mouthed idiot? It's hilarious!"Vivian scoffed and chimed in, "Oh my, did I hear that correctly? Violet, are you sure this is your son-in-law? He just said that he could deliver a truckload of invitations to you. Why don't you ask your wonderful son-in-law to do that right now to open our eyes?"Vivian was amused. She had never seen such an idiotic person before!'Did he lose his mind after going to the military service for five years?'Why does he like to lie so much?'Sophia laughed while leaning back and forth, holding her stomach as she said, "Serena, is this your good husband? Why does he look so much like just some idiot to me?"Eric snorted and said in an angry ton

    Serena was emotionally fragile, constantly preoccupied with what her family thought of her. But now, thanks to Xayne, every member of the Swift family had mercilessly ridiculed them, leaving her utterly despondent.Xayne stood frozen, stunned by the profound impact his thoughtless words and actions had on Serena. Kneeling down before her, he placed both hands on her shoulders and spoke with a grave expression. "Serena, do you trust me? I wasn't lying about delivering those invitations!"Upon hearing this, Serena raised her tear-filled eyes, her face a pitiful sight that tugged at the heartstrings. Blinking her curious eyes, she asked, "Are you serious?"Xayne nodded earnestly, assuring her, "Absolutely! I can guarantee it! They've always belittled you, haven't they? Those invitation cards are nothing—I can get as many as they want! And for tomorrow's welcoming party, I am actually..." Xayne could no longer conceal the truth. He yearned to reveal to Serena that there was no challen

    Xayne abruptly ended the call, leaving the room enveloped in an eerie silence. All eyes turned toward him, captivated by the intensity in his voice and the frigid glare in his eyes. They couldn't help but question the truth behind his words.In response, Royce rose to his feet, pointing an accusatory finger at Xayne. "What the hell were you thinking? Who were you even talking to? Trying to impress someone here?" He stormed forward, snatching the phone from Xayne's hand and callously hurling it to the ground. With a crushing stomp, the device was reduced to irreparable pieces.Witnessing the destruction, Xayne furrowed his brows tightly, his fists clenching in anger. In his eyes, Royce had just signed his own death warrant.Yet, Serena swiftly intervened, grasping Xayne's arm and subtly shaking her head, urging him to restrain himself.After venting his frustration, Royce sneered, tauntingly challenging Xayne, "Well, let's see what you're really made of!

    Eric said in a cold voice, "Hey! What's the rush about? You're embarrassing me! What's the matter?"The butler's face looked extremely pale as he said, "Mr. Swift Sr., this is bad! There's a military vehicle from the military headquarters of Venzor parked outside! H-he says he's here to deliver the invitations!"Boom!Suddenly, the entire living hall fell into dead silence!Everyone was shocked as they looked at each other in disbelief!'What's going on?! A military vehicle from the headquarters is outside the Swift residence?''Th-This is unbelievable! More importantly, it's here to deliver the invitation cards!'Everyone took a deep breath as they froze in place. None of them dared to make a sound!The butler's forehead was covered in cold sweat as the stood there, not knowing what to say at all."M-Mr. Swift Sr.?"

    "Ah? Y-yes, Mr. Swift Sr., I'm on it!"The butler's face went pale with shock, causing him to hastily turn around and rush toward a small courtyard where Xayne and Serena were currently residing.Although referred to as a courtyard, it was merely a diminutive space measuring around sixty to seventy square feet. Once used to house the Swift family's dogs, Sophia had deliberately repurposed the area as a cottage solely to humiliate Serena and her kin.However, Serena and Xayne remained unruffled by such circumstances, engrossed in playing gleefully with Coco within the cottage. Their joyous laughter reverberated throughout the entire cottage.Panting heavily, the butler stood at the door and spoke, "X-Xayne, Mr. Swift Sr. requests your return... to receive the invitations..."With Coco perched on his shoulders, Xayne responded with an icy demeanor, "Tell him that unless they personally come and ask me, I won't go!"He was Xayne Xavier, the Supreme Commander of Northern Plains respe

    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

    They had been supreme powerhouses, returning from the outer battlegrounds—warriors far beyond the likes of those reclusive Radiant Commanders of Eukrania. The environments that had shaped them could not have been more different.In the outer battlegrounds, battles to the death had been a daily occurrence. Meanwhile, the so-called Bi-Radiant Commanders of Eukrania had spent their days in seclusion. The gap between them had been as vast as the heavens and the abyss.That was precisely why Xayne had been able to slaughter eight of them at the outset yet still failed to bring down the remaining three. When it came to battle experience, understanding of formations, and sheer mental fortitude, Fent and Elder Stringer had surpassed the others by an overwhelming margin."You overestimate yourselves. I was merely testing some insights I've recently comprehended!" Xayne’s voice was cold.The moment those words fell, Fent and Elder Stringer’s expressions darkened."Xayne, you are indeed formidabl

    Xayne spun abruptly, his Ravenclaw Dagger and Scarlet Dragon Lance striking out at Elder Stringer and Fent in unison. In an instant, dazzling light engulfed the sky, turning everything into a blinding silver-white.The sheer intensity caused distant cameras to suffer momentary overexposure, while those positioned too close melted instantly under the searing heat waves. The shockwave from their clash alone sent entire blocks of buildings crumbling into rubble. Yet despite the destruction, Xayne was not unscathed—his skin split open, and blood flowed freely from his wounds.Still, he remained standing, his Scarlet Dragon Lance firmly in his grasp, his figure as proud and unyielding as ever. What troubled him most, however, was the phantom of himself conjured by the enemy’s formation. After all, no one understood him better than himself.As expected, the moment presented itself. The phantom Xayne seized the opportunity and launched a sneak attack at his back.Without turning his head, Xay

    Even in Eukrania, with four Radiant Commanders fallen, the inevitable had to be acknowledged—Xayne was beyond anything they had ever seen.The Emperor let out a wry smile. At this moment, the world’s attention was fixed on the battle raging over Folksworth. Major news outlets from across the globe had arrived, capturing every moment in live broadcasts. Radiant Commanders clashing openly—this alone was enough to shake the world. It meant the ancient contract forbidding Radiant Commanders from interfering in the mortal realm had been broken.But the true terror was not in one or two Radiant Commanders meddling in human affairs. It lay in the possibility that all Radiant Commanders could now walk freely among mortals. The fundamental difference between a Radiant Commander and a Divine Commander was simple: Radiant Commanders could not be killed—not even by nuclear weapons.If the threat of mortal weaponry no longer restrained them, they would, by default, rise above all others. When that

    From the very start, the battle at Folksworth had drawn the highest level of attention from the Emperor. Not only had the media broadcasted it nationwide with aerial drone footage, but the Black Ice Platform had also deployed agents to closely monitor every move on the battlefield.The Emperor glanced at his watch—it was nearly noon. Thankfully, Xayne was still holding his ground. Yves paced back and forth, restless.Of the eleven elite fighters White Blossom Mountain had sent, eight were already dead, including two Bi-Radiant Commanders. But the real threats remained. Fent, Elder Stringer, and Yeti, all masters of formations, had served as the core combat power of the group.In the outer world, Yeti was among the strongest of the Bi-Radiant Commanders, someone even outer battleground warriors treated with respect. With opponents like these, there was no telling if Xayne would make it out alive. The doors of the Emperor's Pavillion burst open. Elder Waze strode in, his face grim.

    Another brutal, bone-crushing strike sent a violent tremor through Xayne's arms, leaving them slightly numb. He couldn't help but marvel, 'No wonder this guy was a legendary warrior from the Three Kingdoms era.' Just that one strike alone could've split a mountain in half. Before Xayne could steady himself, a spear came hurtling straight for his chest, blazing fast, almost like a laser. With a roar, Xayne launched himself into the air, swinging his Scarlet Dragon Lance in a powerful arc. The two Scarlet Dragon Lances collided midair, unleashing a shockwave so intense that even Spartacus, who had been ready to strike, was forced back several steps. Xayne himself was sent flying sideways by the sheer force. Then a sharp, icy pain shot through his left arm. He let out a muffled grunt. The Ravenclaw dagger had pierced straight through his arm, embedding itself in the wall behind him. Since becoming a Radiant Commander, he had battled against the Four Radiant Commanders of Eukran

    Fent's eyes widened as Xayne evaded his lethal strike. With a flick of his sleeve, a glint of cold light shot forth like a falling star. A chilling sense of death descended upon Xayne. At that moment, Xayne was locked in combat against the Green Dragon Crescent Blade and a spear over three meters long. He had no choice but to manipulate the spatial magnetic field to knock the deadly projectile out of the air. His Scarlet Dragon Lance clashed with the Green Dragon Crescent Blade once more, sending a silver explosion ripping through the battlefield. It was as if a miniature nuclear blast had detonated in midair. Even Elder Stringer had to turn his head, unable to face the searing light. At the same time, an even more intense sense of mortal danger surged toward Xayne. Acting purely on instinct, he twisted his head and, in the same motion, flung out his Ravenclaw dagger. Two Ravenclaw daggers collided in midair, releasing a devastating shockwave that sent even Xayne hurtling back
