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
Fortunately, Skylark Factory was not far from the suburbs, and Xayne arrived in just ten minutes.A large group of menacing-looking thugs had gathered outside the factory with sticks and machetes. They had even parked several trucks at the gate so that no one could go in or out.When Xayne appeared, the smoking and chatting thugs grabbed their weapons. One pointed at him and shouted, “Who the hell are you?! Can’t you see the factory’s closed? Fuck off!”However, Xayne responded with a punch that sent the thug crashing into a cargo box, creating a human-shaped dent in it. The thug fell unconscious and lay in a pool of blood. The other thugs roared, “Damn you! You must have a death wish! Let’s kill him!”The thugs charged at Xayne with their weapons. A killing intent burst from Xayne as he said, “You ignorant fools.”He sent them all flying into trucks and the gate. The thugs groaned in pain and spat out blood. Meanwhile, Xayne glanced around and then rushed into the factory. From a
Xayne’s voice echoed throughout the factory.Buck pushed away his subordinates and a cold light glinted in his eyes. "Are you trying to protect that woman?!""I’m her husband," Xayne spoke threateningly.Buck laughed and then smirked. He mocked Xayne, "You're her husband? You mean you're the famous freeloading loser, Xayne Xavier?!"Xayne frowned and sighed. "You're just adding to your sins.""Bah! Damn, you're exceptional at pretending to be a hero! Can you even kill me?" Buck cursed, "Kid, you owe me a hundred and fifty grand for kicking me. You better pay up, or I’ll cripple you!" Xayne shrugged, saying, "That’s all? How about I give you 1.5 million instead?""What do you mean?!" Buck was dumbfounded. He had never met anyone as straightforward as Xayne. However, he soon understood Xayne’s true intention.Bang!Xayne delivered a flying kick and sent Buck flying again.Bam!Buck crashed into a wall, cracking it. When he fell, there was a human-shaped pit in the wall. The r
Xayne unleashed a powerful punch and sent one thug crashing into several others behind him. They did not even have a chance to scream as Xayne’s punch had knocked them out cold.Bang! Bang! Bang!Xayne threw several more punches and then grabbed the neck of a thug wielding a machete. Then, Xayne lifted him and tossed him aside. The thug collided with a stack of materials.After a few more simple moves, a few more thugs lay on the ground, moaning in pain as they clutched their limbs and chests. The remaining thugs stared at each other but hesitated to step forward. They thought Xayne resembled the devil at that moment.After all, he had taken down over a dozen of their comrades in less than half a minute. The gang was terrified, and some even considered running away.“Why would you run?! Let’s take him down together!”“Yeah, let’s do it together! Buck has already shot the signal flare, so Rufus will be here soon!”"Let’s kill that guy!" Although the lead thug’s voice trembled, he
Xayne frowned after hearing that name so many times.The thug sighed in relief when he saw Xayne’s expression. The former thought Rufus’s name had affected Xayne.Rufus was from the capital and a member of the Ascentia Society. He was one of the top ten underground figures in the capital, too. Even so, Xayne said, “I don’t know who Rufus is. Is he any good?”The thug was shocked and became wide-eyed. He roared to intimidate Xayne, “You don’t know who Rufus is?! He’s one of the top ten underground gangsters. You’re as good as dead if you even dare to offend him!”However, Xayne merely muttered an “oh.”Then, he stomped on the thug’s chest, and the sound of ribs breaking echoed. Immediately after, the thug fainted.Serena was dumbfounded while the factory workers and manager stood rooted in disbelief. They thought Xayne was the devil.Xayne looked toward the factory gate and then glanced at the thugs lying on the ground. His eyes narrowed as he muttered, “Rufus from the capital, h
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
