Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 542
Lilian was not good at rejecting others, so she could only nod and say, "Okay."Meanwhile, Xayne stood up amidst everyone’s astonished gazes. He told Chuck, “Nothing much. Coco told her classmates that I know Shalholm’s wealthiest man. Some kids didn’t believe her and accused her of lying. That’s why I called you here.”Chuck sighed in relief, and his eyes softened as he looked at Coco.Xayne held Coco and smiled, saying, “Coco, you can remind everyone about what you said. No one will make fun of you or call you a liar. Tell them that I know Shalholm’s wealthiest man.”Coco blinked and glanced at Chuck before looking at the puzzled kids and adults. Coco pouted and shouted, “I told you my dad knows Uncle Chuck! I didn’t lie!”The kids who had mocked Coco yesterday lowered their heads in shame. Xayne glared at Elton, who was sweating bullets before leaving with Coco.Chuck hurried after the two and followed Xayne closely.Meanwhile, Elton wiped his forehead with his handkerchief i

Xayne smiled faintly and said, “They’re old friends. Okay, you should return to the company. I’ll take care of things.”Serena looked at him doubtfully. “Oh, okay. Let me know if your friends can’t help, and we can think of another solution.”Xayne nodded with a smile and sent Serena back to the company. Afterward, he called Ace and asked, “How’s the acquisition of the Xavier Corporation going?”Ace respectfully replied, “The acquisition is complete, Supreme Commander. The Xavier Corporation is now yours. However, the public announcement claimed Mr. White as the new chairman. We’ve also renamed it to Serenco Corporation.”Xayne nodded in approval and responded, “Perfect. Now, I need you to do one more thing. Buy a factory specializing in design and decoration materials. Get it done within the day, all right?”“I’ll get to it immediately, sir!” Ace hung up and quickly called Donovan, who had broad connections across Shalholm.“Mr. Ace, please wait a moment—I’ll check if there are

Harrison Stark sat in his executive chair at Skylark Factory. He grinned while enjoying his cigar as a seductively dressed female assistant approached. She sat on his lap and playfully caressed his face and neck.The assistant asked with a flirtatious smile, “Do we really need to sell the factory?”Harrison chuckled. "Of course!"Suddenly, his phone rang, and he glanced at the number with a frown. However, he answered in a good mood, “Hello, who’s this?”The caller asked, “Is this Mr. Harrison Stark of the Skylark Factory?”“Yes, this is him,” Harrison responded as his hand wandered over the assistant.“Hello, we’re calling from the Ghazali Corporation’s headquarters. We’re interested in acquiring your factory. What’s your asking price?” The caller sounded indifferent.Harrison shivered slightly with a conflicted expression. “The Ghazali Corporation is interested in my factory?”“Yes, it is. Name your price.” The caller grew impatient.After some thought and a glance at the ne

“Wait, fourteen million dollars?” Ace stepped forward and glanced at the contract. Then, he glared at Harrison, puffing his cigar. Ace sternly asked, “Mr. Harrison, why did you raise it to fourteen million?”Harrison sneered and chuckled, “Why? It was always fourteen million! If you want the factory, sign the contract and stop wasting my time.”Ace’s expression turned grim as he said, “We agreed on seven million earlier. Why did you change it without notifying us? This isn’t how people do business!”Ace had a fiery temper. If it were another setting, he would have already taken Harrison down. However, the former could not afford to be reckless as it was a business negotiation. Moreover, he did not want to jeopardize Xayne’s plans.“You must be mistaken, Mr. Ace. The seven million is just the down payment. Fourteen million is the actual price I’ve set,” Harrison said with a smirk as he hugged Carol beside him.Then, he glanced at Xayne’s grim expression and added, “Take a closer lo

Harrison rose to wealth by relying primarily on the group of thugs he kept under his payroll. Businesses that collaborated with him had often faced threats and harassment. He even forced them into cooperation at prices below market value.Therefore, Harrison was notorious in the region, and many feared him.Xayne and Ace observed their surroundings with disdain. Xayne asked, “Mr. Harrison, do you plan on using force?”Harrison shouted, “If you know what’s good for you, sign! Otherwise, I’ll break both your legs.”The thugs brandished their knives and steel rods, hinting at a menacing intent to pressure Xayne into signing the contract. Xayne raised a brow and stated, “Is that a threat?”“Yes, it is! If you don’t want my men to shatter your limbs, sign the damn contract. If you don’t, my men might just get to play with their weapons.” Harrison grinned.“What if I refuse?” Xayne questioned coldly.“Damn it! I bet you’ve never taken a beating. Men, get in there and break that guy’s

Harrison could no longer stand steady and knelt on the ground.‘Dear God! Donovan, Shalholm’s kingpin, has bowed so humbly to Xayne. It’s not looking good for me.’Harrison knew it was over for him.Ace sneered. “Mr. Harrison, didn’t you arrogantly threaten to break the Supreme Commander’s legs just now? Go on, show us how confident you are.”Harrison wet his pants, drenched in cold sweat. He trembled, saying, “I-I’m sorry, Mr. Ace. I made a mistake. Please be careful with that gun you’re holding. Don’t accidentally click—”‘If he makes a mistake, I’ll die.’Bang!Ace grabbed Harrison by the collar and then slammed Harrison back down. Harrison’s nose broke, and his teeth scattered, his face covered in blood. He screamed in agony, “Gah! My nose, my teeth!”Meanwhile, Xayne casually sat back down and glanced at Harrison writhing on the floor. Xayne lit a cigar and asked, “Now, do you agree to let us acquire your factory for three million dollars, Mr. Harrison?”Carol, kneeling o

Harrison answered, “It… It was the Ghazali Corporation headquarters. They offered eleven million dollars for my factory.”“The Ghazali Corporation, huh? Perfect! It looks like you haven’t learned your lesson, Nicholas,” Xayne chuckled and then turned to leave Skylark Factory.Xayne informed Serena that he had secured the facility and would start production soon. However, they still needed to purchase a batch of equipment due to insufficient capacity.At that moment, Harrison left the hospital and received a call from the Ghazali Corporation. The caller sounded surprised and angry, “Mr. Harrison, what’s going on? We agreed on eleven million dollars for your factory. Why did you sell it for three million? Are you out of your mind?”“The Ghazali Corporation is nothing! I wouldn’t be in this mess if it weren’t for you guys. My decision has nothing to do with you idiots!” Harrison cursed and ended the call.Meanwhile, the assistant at the Ghazali Corporation’s chairman’s office looked

Damon felt a surreal sensation after hanging up the phone. One of his smiling friends remarked, “Who called you, Damon? I’ve never seen you so humble.”Damon quickly approached them, saying, “It was a call from the Ghazali Corporation.”One of his other friends straightened up and asked, “What? Why would they call you? You’re not the vice president of the capital’s business association.”Damon sipped his tea and then replied, “I don’t understand it either, but they want me to suppress the Swift Group. What do you guys think?”His friends looked at each other, and one laughed. “Damon, this could lead to a promotion. Just suppress that small company. What matters most is that you can get on board with the Ghazali Corporation.“They promised to invest in Shalholm and establish a new company, right? That’s an excellent deal.”“I agree with Conrad.”“As your friends, we want to contribute. We hope you can speak highly of us to Mr. Nicholas.”Damon looked at his friends, and his init

"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
Chapter 2685
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
Chapter 2684
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
Chapter 2682
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
