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
The tattooed men charged at Ace. The latter looked disdainful as he flexed his arms before lunging forward. Immediately after, a shadow flashed through the group, causing the men to collapse and clutch their broken limbs."Gah, my arm!""My leg, my leg is broken...""That guy’s the devil..."The tattooed men were frightened as they looked at Ace standing before them. His aura was intense and formidable.At that moment, Xayne calmly entered with his hands behind his back. He observed the tattooed men on the ground and asked, "Where's Bull?"However, the men remained tight-lipped, shaking their heads. One shouted, “We don’t know! Bull isn’t here!”Xayne sneered and stepped forward before stomping on one of the tattooed men’s knees. Crack!"Ah, my leg! I'll talk, I'll talk! Bull is upstairs. He's upstairs..." The man screamed miserably. He paled as his knee turned into a bloody mess.Xayne simply approached the elevator silently. Of course, someone had already charged toward th
Bull lifted his gaze, only to see two young men swaggering in. Rocky pointed at the two and shouted, “Bull, that’s them! They’re the ones who broke my wrist and beat up my men!”Bull turned and slapped Rocky, scolding, “Do you think I’m blind?! Fuck off and call all the men up now!”Rocky lowered his head and palmed his rapidly swelling cheek. Immediately after, he dialed a few numbers on his phone. Then, Bull turned to Xayne and Ace, asking, "Which one of you beat up my men?""Me," Xayne casually replied, standing before Bull with his hands in his pockets.Bull chuckled. "Excellent, you’ve got guts, kid! Do you know where you are? Do you know who I am? Who sent you?"Xayne shrugged and responded, "Of course I do. This is your turf, and you're Bull Wayne, the big shot of the entire suburb.""How dare you mess up my place, even after knowing this? There's just the two of you, as well! Do you have a death wish?!" Bull was furious. "Tell me, who sent you? Maybe I'll give you a cha
Bull laughed maniacally and mocked, "So, you're Xayne Xavier?"Xayne raised an eyebrow, and his killing intent burst forth."I never expected you to show up and seek justice for that old fart, kid. Indeed, the Xaviers were prominent five years ago, and I was just a hoodlum back then. I’ve heard of your reputation, but things aren’t the same anymore.“Now you’re nothing but a sorry stray. How dare you come here and cause trouble? It seems you’re desperate to die!” Bull roared. His fierce aura was oppressive.Rocky sneered and added, “Hehe, a waste of space like you daring to cause trouble here shows how ignorant you are!”He smirked, seemingly envisioning Xayne’s demise with broken limbs.Xayne glanced at Rocky, who wore a mocking expression, and said, "It seems I’ve failed at teaching you a lesson, even though I broke your wrist.”"What the fuck did you say?!" Rocky was furious as he pointed at Xayne.However, Xayne grabbed his finger and broke it, causing a cracking sound to e
"That half a million is mine!""Kill them!"Threatening screams echoed throughout the private room. Countless henchmen and thugs, with machetes and baseball bats, swarmed toward Xayne and Ace.Boom!Ace's body erupted with an incredibly fierce killing intent. The aura of a Legend Warrior burst forth and filled the entire room, causing the henchmen to freeze. Ace’s killing intent resembled a devil emerging from hell and a sea of corpses.Even Bull trembled as cold sweat formed on his forehead. He could not look away from the horrifying Ace. Bull had only seen such a frightening demeanor from one person. That person was a bodyguard to Bull’s boss.However, Bull felt that the bodyguard was an ant before Ace. The latter’s aura was tens of times more potent than a Master Warrior’s. Bull’s mind was a mess, and he finally realized who he had messed with. He knew he could only survive if Xayne and Ace died.Therefore, Bull nervously yelled, “Kill them! I’ll offer a million dollars to wh
Bull gasped at what he saw, thinking, ‘Donovan bowed to that good-for-nothing from the Xavier family. What in the world is going on?!’Xayne nodded and said, “You’re not late at all. You’re just in time.”“I’ve brought four hundred of my best men, Mr. Xayne. We’ve already taken over Earth’s Heaven. I’ve also instructed my other subordinates to surround Bull’s companies and casinos.“We’ve encircled everything related to Bull. We’ll eradicate his influence in Venzor as soon as you give the order.” Donovan hid nothing from Xayne and openly spoke about his plans. The former knew that if Xayne wanted to take action against someone, it would require elimination.Moreover, Donovan had been waiting for this day for a long time.Meanwhile, Bull sneered upon hearing Donovan’s words. “What are you talking about, Grim Reaper? Do you know how many people have tried to eradicate me from the suburbs?”Bull initially felt uneasy at Donovan's words but quickly decided otherwise. After all, the f
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
