“Okay, I’ll get to it right away.” Ace nodded. Immediately after, he informed the East Yoskea Military about Xayne’s plans.Rhaega received Ace’s call. The former frowned and asked, “Did the King of the North really say he needs a favor?”“Affirmative, Supreme Commander Rhaega. Please take action immediately,” Ace respectfully responded.Rhaega fell silent for a moment before saying, “Understood. Since that’s what the King of the North wants, I’ll help out.”After hanging up the call, he instructed his deputy, “Contact the military factories or business units cooperating within our military theater. Have them send the equipment to Swift Group’s factory in Shalholm. Make no mistakes!”“Sir, is that the King of the North’s order?” A Lieutenant asked.Rhaega smirked and said, “Indeed, the King of the North is interesting. He’s willing to owe me a favor for his woman. Quick, get going.”“Right away, sir!” The deputy nodded and left the command center.…After resolving the equipme
“I agree! He also wears a mask as if he’s afraid someone might recognize him.”“We should listen to Mr. Ian if we want the company to grow.”These individuals had already approached Xayne as they chatted. Ian and his group did not notice him initially. When they bumped into each other, Ian scolded, “Move aside!”Suddenly, he realized the person before him looked familiar. After taking a closer look, Ian exclaimed, “Xayne?! Is that you?!”Xayne frowned and then smiled when he looked at Ian. Back in the day, Ian Sanchez was only a low-level employee at Xavier Corporation. However, he became a manager a few years later. Earlier in the meeting room, Ian ignored Mr. White.Ian used to be an incompetent individual who only knew how to flatter. He had flattered Xayne quite a bit back then.“Long time no see,” Xayne calmly replied. At that moment, he was not wearing a mask.Ian sneered and said, “Oh, what a rare guest. I never expected to see the former heir to the Xaviers, or should I
Ian felt humiliated as his subordinates quickly helped him up from the ground. They pointed at Xayne and rebuked him.“Are you insane?! How dare you attack Mr. Ian?!”“You’re just a scumbag, so don’t be so arrogant.”“He’s right! Apologize to Mr. Ian immediately! Otherwise, we’ll take matters into our own hands!”The four employees rolled up their sleeves, ready for action. Meanwhile, Xayne observed them, huffing as he said disdainfully, “Do you think you can even touch me?”A strong killing intent filled the air, causing the four employees to step back instinctively.‘What a potent aura! Why is his gaze so horrifying?!’They all turned to look at Ian, and he pushed aside his subordinate standing before him. Ian roared, “You’re dead, Xayne! We’re no longer in the Xavier Corporation, nor are you the general manager of Serenco. This company isn’t yours. I’ll kill you if you lay your hands on me again!”Xayne chuckled as he casually lit a cigarette and blew the smoke at Ian, sayin
‘Is Xayne the boss?! How can that be?!’The four employees were just as shocked and in disbelief as Ian. ‘How did the Xaviers’ disgraced family member become the company’s boss? Is the masked Mr. White from earlier Xayne?’Plop! Ian dropped to his knees, shouting at Xayne's departing figure, "Sir, I beg you, please don't fire me! I have my parents and children to care for. I was wrong to insult you. Sir, forgive me!" Ian repeatedly knocked his head against the ground. However, Xayne coldly said, "We know you can betray the company at any moment." With that, he left without looking back.Ace watched the trembling Ian and said, "You brought this upon yourself. You are all fired. We will also issue a notice that no companies shall hire you within the next three years. Keep today's events to yourself. If I find out that any of you leaked the boss's identity, you'll face severe consequences."Ace turned and caught up to Xayne.Soon after, Ian and the others received a notice fr
Three young thugs overturned the fruit stand and smashed the fruits to pieces.Danny fell to the ground as tears streamed down his face. He looked at the scattered fruits, heartbroken, as he shouted, “Rocky, please stop! I beg you. That’s our only source of income.”He knelt and kowtowed to Rocky. The fruits were all he had to support his family of four. He had two children, one in high school and the other in middle school.“Where’s the money, damn it!” Rocky menacingly asked as he kicked Danny and then stepped on his chest.Danny’s wife took a tightly wrapped bundle of money from the stand. She rushed to him and dropped to the ground, pleading and crying, “H-Here… Here’s all we have, Rocky. Please stop kicking my husband.”Rocky snatched the money and realized it was all in small notes, so he had to count them individually.Danny watched as he cried in pain, “Please, that’s for our daughter’s education funds. Please give us two more days. I swear I’ll have the money by then!”
Xayne shook his head and told Ace, "Settle this.""Okay," Ace casually replied. Immediately after, his aura burst forth and filled the entire street. A series of thuds sounded as he kicked Rocky and the others away and then beat them to a pulp.The debt collectors wailed incessantly, shocking Danny and Becca.Meanwhile, Xayne approached and lifted Danny from the ground. Xayne addressed the older man, “Mr. Danny.”Danny was astonished as he looked at the man before him. His lips trembled as he muttered, “Xayne? Is that you?”“It’s me, Mr. Danny. I’m back.” Xayne nodded and became teary-eyed. After all, Danny was the closest person to Xayne, aside from Serena and Coco. Though not blood-related, Xayne and Danny’s bond was stronger than most blood relations.“I can’t believe it’s you! You’re alive! That’s wonderful!” Danny instantly burst into tears as he grasped Xayne’s hands.Ace finished dealing with Rocky and the other debt collectors. The former stood silently at the food stand
Becca could not help but glance at Xayne. She thought he was handsome and seemed a little too easygoing.Her tone carried a sense of resentment toward him as she said, “Bull leads the underground forces in our area. People have scorned and harassed my family because you disappeared for five years.“Now that you’ve finally returned, you’ve offended Bull. That means trouble for us. Once you leave, Bull will come looking for us.”Danny and his family used to live happy lives, but things turned out poorly for them because of the Xaviers. Becca could not understand why her father continued to search for Xayne for so long, even accumulating so much debt.“Becce, why are you talking to Xayne like that? He used to play with you when you were little,” Danny scolded reproachfully.Xayne chuckled and said, “Becca’s right, Mr. Danny. You and your family wouldn’t be in this situation if it weren’t for me and my family.”“At least you know you’re wrong!” Becca added and then stomped away.“Be
Bull’s reputation made many covet the suburb’s territory and profits. Several underground big shots from the city had negotiated with him, but Bull’s men beat them up. Although his actions angered the big shots, they hesitated to move against him.After all, it would involve touching some influential interests. Hence, they agreed not to mess with Bull for now.Nonetheless, Bull had offended Xayne.Suddenly, Donovan’s eyes lit up as he said, “Mr. Ace, you and Mr. Xayne wait there. I’ll bring my men over immediately. Bull must be seeking death if he offended Mr. Xayne.”“Be quick,” Ace calmly replied before hanging up the phone.Donovan pondered on the conversation before lighting up with excitement. He entered the private room and announced, “I have incredible news, everyone!”A few of Shalholm’s influential underground figures looked at Donovan curiously. Someone asked, “What’s the big news, Mr. Donovan? Why are you so excited?”"Yeah, what is it?"Donovan said smilingly, “Have
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
Before the words were even finished, Xayne had already pushed open the car door and stepped out. Without hesitation, he brushed past the servants at the entrance and led Renny straight into the estate.The moment they walked in, they heard Channy pounding his chest in frustration, his voice thundering as he pointed toward the second floor. "Even if you have no regard for family, can you bear to see so many people dragged down with you?"Around him, more than a dozen servants stood in silence, heads bowed, not daring to make a sound. Two middle-aged men stood before Channy like chastised schoolchildren, their posture rigid, their faces full of unease.When Channy spotted Renny, his face twisted with a mix of surprise and anger. He barely spared a glance at Xayne. After all, in his opinion, Xayne was too ordinary, so ordinary that he didn't even deserve a second look."Renny?" Channy frowned deeply. "You're back just in time. Go upstairs and talk some sense into your sister. If she r
"Miss Riller, every move you make is under my watch. I even know when you left for Folksworth and when you came back. I have detailed reports here!" Zenn smirked as he pulled out his phone, scrolling through text messages before waving the screen in front of Renny's face."Move your car. I'm in a hurry!" Xayne said coldly, his tone sharp and unwavering.Zenn looked Xayne up and down, sneering. "Who the hell do you think you are? I'm here on Mr. Xayne's orders to wait for her. If you ruin his plans, can you bear the consequences?"As Renny had suspected, if he couldn't have her, he'd make sure no one else could either.When Zenn was having a fancy dinner with Delwyn earlier, he had spilled every detail about her. He praised the Riller sisters, calling them goddesses, but admitted that Renny was far prettier than her sister, Yanny. He mentioned how she'd gone to Folksworth and wasn't sure when she'd return.The moment Delwyn decided to send someone to drag her back to Folksberg, Zen
Serena noticed Renny's sudden change in expression and asked curiously, "What's wrong?""Nothing!" Renny's voice trembled as she swallowed hard, her small hands shaking as she quickly put her phone away. But no matter how she tried, she couldn't hide the panic in her eyes."Renny, what's going on? Do you still see me as your friend?" Serena pressed, her eyes narrowing with concern.Renny's unease didn't escape Serena's sharp gaze. Renny glanced at Serena and Xayne, her face full of hesitation. "It's about someone with the last name Xavier. He's powerful, and I don't want to drag you two into it!""What?" Serena's brow frowned.Xayne's eyes flickered with interest. He hadn't been paying attention initially, but hearing the mention of the name "Xavier" brought a subtle shift to his gaze. "Someone with the last name Xavier? Renny, can you tell me what's going on?"After a long moment of hesitation, Renny finally pulled out her phone and handed it to Xayne showing the farewell messag
Channy had stood right behind Luther, and when he heard those words, his heart sank hard. Both his granddaughters had been as stubborn as they came, but if Yanny Riller had decided to stand her ground, it would have spelled big trouble for the Riller family. This hadn't been the same as crossing the Scallow or Armen families. Xayne's influence in Drakonia had been untouchable at that time.Watching Luther bow and scrape as he ushered Xayne into the car, Channy pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Too bad he didn't know that this so-called Xayne was nothing but a fraud."Yanny, you heard what Mr. Xayne just said, didn't you? You see what I mean, right?" Channy asked.Yanny bit her lip hard, her eyes filling with tears. Her gaze was firm as she looked straight at her grandfather. Seeing that look, Channy's heart skipped a beat. He quickly grabbed Yanny's arm and guided her into the car. If Xayne saw that look of defiance on Yanny's face, it'd be the en
