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
‘Harold arrested all my men?! That’s my blood, sweat, and tears!’Bull looked at Xayne, terrified. The former then quickly called a mysterious person, shouting in the phone, “Mr. Wilfred, it’s Bull! There’s an emergency here. I need your help.”Wilfred Sapphire was his most substantial supporter. Most revered Wilfred, and even mentioning his name could cause shockwaves. Even Bull could not fathom Wilfred’s financial power and influence.Wilfred had only visited Venzor once. During that time, his little trick made Bull utterly loyal to him. The former was not from Venzor or the capital. Instead, he hailed from Drakonia’s Sapphire family.The Sapphires were one of the eight great aristocratic families. Their financial power and influence were incredible. Wilfred was the youngest of the family and Seth Sapphire’s most beloved grandson.Seth was an influential figure in Drakonia’s governing units, and his words held great weight. Most addressed the man as Master Seth, as his status wa
Bull became arrogant, feeling like he was on cloud nine because Wilfred supported him. Bull knew the others were nothing to Wilfred. The former wished he could make Donovan kneel and beg for mercy.Since Wilfred intended to take action, Bull saw it as a chance to devour Donovan’s influence completely. That way, Bull would be the undisputed king of Shalholm’s underground forces.Nonetheless, Xayne calmly took the phone, and disdainful laughter sounded on the other end. “Bull told me you’re a remnant of the Xaviers and that you want to eradicate his influence.”Wilfred’s voice was unruly and mocking. The private room fell silent and caused chills to run down everyone’s spines. Meanwhile, Bull’s men were in a standoff against Donovan’s.Xayne calmly replied, “You’re Wilfred Sapphire, huh?”There was a sudden silence on the phone, followed by a disrespectful voice, "Interesting. I didn't expect you, a little Shalholm scum, to recognize me. Who are you?"Xayne revealed a devilish smir
Wilfred knew no one could contend with Xayne and that no one was more terrifying than him. Xayne was once a terror to the eight heirs of Drakonia. They did not even dare to say his name.Wilfred had once offended Xayne when he served in Drakonia. The former was unruly and domineering, only relying on his family’s wealth and power.Later, Xayne mobilized a hundred thousand Northern Plains soldiers and sealed off the entire city. The Sapphires found themselves surrounded by the soldiers. At that time, Seth had to lead over a hundred family members, including Wilfred, to kneel at Xayne’s house.Back then, Seth had to break one of Wilfred’s legs to appease Xayne’s anger.Xayne warned them, saying the eight great aristocratic families would drop to seven if Seth refused to break one of Wilfred’s legs.News of that incident shook all of Drakonia. Therefore, hundreds of Sapphire family members could only bow before Xayne and beg for his forgiveness. It was a shocking and terrifying sight
Dean's wild provocations quickly drew a crowd of onlookers.At that moment, a striking young woman stepped forward, removing her sunglasses as she made her way through the throng.The woman was dressed in an elegant black gown, the hemline revealing a pair of flawless, slender legs that caught everyone's attention. Her expression, however, was haughty, as though she looked down on everyone around her.She was Deanana Lovorka, the heiress of the Lovorka family conglomerate. While not exactly a household name, she was considered a minor socialite in the upper circles of Drakonix."Manager Dean, it's been a while!" Deanana greeted casually.As someone who frequently traveled abroad for business, Deanana was a familiar face at the airport and she had crossed paths with Dean on several occasions.But she was not here for a casual chat with Dean. It was far from it.She had come specifically to see Xayne.This was, after all, the legendary King of the North. Just six months ago, he w
"Do you have any idea whose luggage this is?" Aava asked coldly with a sharp and commanding tone.She was on the verge of revealing her special credentials—something she rarely used unless absolutely necessary. Xayne had been her hero, someone she deeply admired. The ridicule from Miodrag moments earlier had already pushed her to the edge, and now even a low-level airport staffer dared to humiliate him."Of course, I knew. Xayne, the King of the North six months ago; now he's just a regular civilian," the staffer replied with icy indifference. The staffer smirked. "Miss, do you think Xayne is still the mighty King of the North? There's no war, the capital isn't under siege, and he's utterly useless now. Take my advice—someone young and beautiful like you should stay far away from trash like Xayne. Get closer to someone like Young Master Dongfang instead. It'll do wonders for your future!"Dean swaggered over, cigarette dangling from his mouth, hands clasped behind his back. His ex
Upon hearing those words, both Xayne and Aava paused in surprise, then frowned in unison.The VIP lounge was clearly still operating as usual. Inside, over twenty people were relaxing—some reading newspapers and sipping coffee. There was no sign of any "closure" or "disinfection."It was obvious that this so-called announcement was deliberately targeting Xayne and Aava."Manager Li, isn't this going a bit too far? That's Xayne—formerly the King of the North. He has special privileges to use the VIP lounge. If this gets reported to higher-ups, we could all be in trouble…," whispered one of the airport staff, cautiously approaching Dean."Higher-ups? Haven't you heard? Young Master Lyuben already gave the order—anyone who sides with Xayne will see their entire family wiped out." Dean sneered, exhaling a cloud of smoke as he lit a cigarette."And even if the higher-ups find out, what can they do?" Dean added mockingly. "I'll admit, six months ago, I wouldn't have dared cross Xayne. B
Miodrag's laughter quickly caught the attention of onlookers in the bustling terminal. But their gazes were fixed not on him but on Xayne.The "King of the North" was a name nearly everyone recognized, yet no one dared approach him. Lyuben's warning had spread far and wide: anyone who got close to Xayne would face annihilation."Miodrag! What gives you the right to mock Mr. Xayne? Just hours ago, he was fighting on the front lines for this country. And you? What have you done besides indulge yourself in luxury?" Aava snapped with a sharp and clear voice."Heh, I pay taxes, don't I? Doesn't spending money generate tax revenue? Without people like me keeping the economy alive, what would Xayne have eaten in the north? Dirt?" Miodrag smirked, his tone dripping with mockery. He sneered and continued, "If not for us rich kids throwing around millions in donations every day, Xayne wouldn't even have warm dirt to eat!""Damn it! The nerve of that guy!""What's so special about the East
"Is it true that Xayne captured the so-called 'Lord of Light' alive?" Lyuben remained calm as he was playing a grand piano in the lounge."Indeed! Word is, the Lord of Light's master, Master Emin, was present as well. However, Xander also made an appearance. My analysis suggests it was Xander who forced Master Emin to retreat, while Xayne crippled the Lord of Light." An older man lowered his head respectfully as he spoke, his voice tinged with urgency."Oh? Defeating the Lord of Light… he must have had a trick up his sleeve. Was it some kind of tactic or setup?" Lyuben asked without betraying a hint of emotion."It's said that Xayne specializes in traps and ambushes. Otherwise, Hiram and his crew wouldn't have met their end in that mansion. Master Dongfang, you mustn't underestimate him!""Hmm?!" Lyuben's eyes shot open suddenly, piercing beams of icy resolve radiating toward the older man.The man immediately lowered his head further, not daring to meet the gaze of the young lead
"Lowes, what are you panicking for?" Zoro's cold gaze locked onto Lowes.Even though Lowes was several generations younger than him, as the head of the Bullard family, he had the status to stand on equal footing with Zoro."I'm not panicking, I just don't want to see more white funeral banners hanging at the Bullard family estate. If Xayne comes back and chooses to settle the score, do you think any of us can handle it? You might not know this, but back when King Quidie rebelled, even Klink didn't dare lay a hand on him," Lowes replied, his voice strained but steady.He paused, taking a long, slow breath to calm himself. "Put it another way, if Xayne comes for us, even KB Kings Circle won't step in to save us. If that doesn't scare you, then I don't know what will!"The air in the room grew colder. Lowes glanced around at the faces of the other family heads, hoping to see reason in their eyes. But then came a sneer.Zoro let out a low, disdainful chuckle. "Even if Xayne didn't die
"Xayne!" Zoro clenched his fists so tightly. If anyone had a grudge against Xayne, the Eastin family's hatred was no less than that of the Bullard family. Not to mention, Flamey had been killed by Xayne not long ago. This blood feud had to be settled.The Big Four weren't some weak, defenseless prey that Xayne could toy with as he pleased. For decades, the Big Four had controlled the heart of the Drakonia's economy. Every senator, governor, and political figure had to show them respect. But since Iver's death, the Big Four had lost their glow. People who once bowed their heads were now looking down on them. The root of all this was because of Xayne.That's why, after Flamey's death, the Eastin family had no choice but to call upon their master, a man who had been living in seclusion for decades. Every bit of information regarding Xayne's trip to Egenda, his plans, his contacts, and even his flight schedule had been deliberately fed to Lord of Light.They made it clear that the momen
"In the end, his ambitions were never realized. When he attempted to merge all five Dragon's Hearts, he died. After his death, the Dragon's Hearts vanished without a trace. That's why the Light Order has always kept a close eye on Drakonia, especially on the methods Commander Zedd used to track down those Dragon's Hearts," Joe explained.Hearing this, Xayne was utterly stunned. He had never imagined that over a century ago, Commander Zedd had possessed five Dragon's Hearts. That would have been a time when Drakon Destiny was on the rise. However, because of the failed fusion, Commander Zedd lost not only his life but also Drakon Destiny's, which declined, leading to the humiliations and defeats that followed over the next century."So you're saying the Dragon's Hearts are tied to the fate of a nation?" Xayne asked, his shock evident."Absolutely. Based on our research, there's no doubt about it. The fate of Drakonia is linked to the Dragon's Hearts. Every time someone successfully f
In the VIP lounge of the airport, Xayne and Aava were waiting for their flight. Not long after, a tall, broad-shouldered young man strode in. He scanned the room briefly before his eyes locked onto Xayne and Aava. Without hesitation, he walked straight toward them. "Mr. Xayne, I'm sorry for the wait. I was sent here by Yves."The young man sized up Xayne, his eyes flashing with surprise when he saw that Xayne was completely unharmed. Word had spread about Xayne's clash with Lord of Light, a confrontation that even drew out a Radiant Commander figure, Emin. Yet here Xayne was, perfectly fine. It was hard not to be impressed.As Yves's right-hand man, Joe Zhird knew better than to underestimate someone like Xayne. His respect was evident in his tone and demeanor. With his status as the top lieutenant of Black Ice Platform, even the heads of prominent families would approach him with courtesy. But right now, it was Joe who was showing deference to Xayne, and this caught Aava by surprise
