Chapter 642
Author: Blanco Burn
Xayne chuckled and said, "I borrowed it."

"From whom?" Serena asked in puzzlement.

After some thought, Xayne replied, "My boss."

"You mean Ariana?" Serena asked skeptically. Then, with a jealous and dejected expression, she added, "It seems she treats you quite well, lending you a hundred and fifty grand just like that."

Xayne smiled when he saw Serena’s cute, jealous pout. He tapped her nose and said, “Stop thinking nonsense. She and I have a simple boss-employee relationship. Don’t overthink it, okay? Let’s go home.”

Serena feigned anger and stared at Xayne. She felt uncertain as she asked, “Are you telling the truth? Is there nothing else between you two?”

The past five years had made her cautious and sensitive. Although she appeared strong, she was fragile. She found herself becoming increasingly dependent on Xayne and was unable to let that feeling go.

With Ariana constantly around Xayne and even lending him so much cash, Serena could not help but feel a sense of crisis.

    Serena fluttered her eyes open. At some point, Xayne had stood before her while the thugs wailed in agony on the ground with broken arms.Serena was astounded. Despite knowing Xayne had military experience and was highly skilled in combat, the exaggerated scene still surprised her.Meanwhile, Sophia and Ethan were shocked as they witnessed Xayne swiftly dealing with the thugs. As Xayne approached them coldly, Sophia panicked and retreated. She hid behind Ethan and fearfully asked, “Wh-what do you want?! Xayne, my dad won’t spare you if you harm us!”Ethan was just as terrified as he desperately tried to hide behind Sophia. The two were frantic, attempting to use each other as shields.Xayne smirked and yelled abruptly, “Get lost!”That single sentence frightened Sophia and Ethan. They rushed into their car in a panic and left the scene. Serena sighed in relief and patted her chest as she watched the two flee. “That scared me. Xayne, are you okay?”Xayne smiled faintly and glanced

    A middle-aged man on the other end of the line chuckled menacingly. “How much are you willing to pay, Mr. Ethan?”"Twenty grand!"Simultaneously, a few men were busy typing on keyboards or answering calls in a particular residential building. The room was smoky and dimly lit.A middle-aged man with a scruffy beard opened a webpage with a dark and bloody theme. He clicked on a button to post a task, entered the requirements, and set the amount to twenty thousand dollars.Afterward, the man smiled and said, “That gig should make a ten-grand profit.”“Penn, we got another job,” said a guy nearby, smiling.“Good work. I’ll treat you all to dinner tonight,” Penn replied."Penn, you're amazing!""Penn, I love you!"The others chimed in with praises. Penn had just brewed a cup of coffee when he received a notification of someone accepting the task. Soon, a ten-thousand-dollar commission entered his account.Afterward, Penn leisurely watched an episode of an anime.…It was dark ou

    Dennis finally realized that Xayne was an expert who was much more skilled than himself. Xayne’s skills and aura seemed to be on par with Dennis’s mysterious boss. Dennis knew he did not stand a chance against his boss. Therefore, he only wanted to escape.However, Xayne clutched him with a cold and disdainful smile. Immediately after, Xayne sidekicked Dennis and sent him flying.Boom! Before Dennis realized what had happened, he felt a massive pain in his chest and abdomen. He had flown and crashed into the courtyard wall. It collapsed onto him and shattered into bricks, pinning him down.Dennis spat blood as he looked up. He had a pained expression as he watched Xayne approach. “Wh-who are you? How are you so strong?”He struggled to speak, and each word he said felt like his organs would burst. He knew Xayne’s kick had crushed his organs. Even so, Xayne had held back. Otherwise, the kick would have killed Dennis.Xayne stood before him under the pale moonlight.Dennis though

    Boom!Xayne’s words blew Dennis’s mind and made him tremble. Dennis widened his eyes in horror, asking, “You’re— Are you one of the Legend Warriors from back then?!”Dennis had already suspected as much. After all, no one else besides those involved in the massacre, the eight Legend Warriors, and a Celestial Warrior knew about Xayne’s previous phrase.Dennis was about to lose his mind.‘Oh, God! What have I done?! I didn’t know this task involved a Legend Warrior. Won’t my actions lead to another bloodbath?!’Sweat poured from Dennis’s forehead.‘Why was I so greedy for the twenty grand?! I’ve only been in Drakonia for a short while. How did I manage to provoke a Legend Warrior?’Xayne scoffed as an overwhelming chill glinted in his eyes. “Are you referring to my eight subordinates?”Once again, his words shook Dennis to the core. The latter realized Xayne was not one of the eight Legend Warriors but the Celestial Warrior who led them during the onslaught. Xayne was the Drakon

    Dennis continuously knocked his head on the floor as he spoke, causing blood to flow down his head.Xayne narrowed his eyes as he understood the situation. He smiled faintly and said, “Drakon King, huh? As I said, you only have one chance. Who sent you?”Dennis quickly replied, “I accepted a task from the Dark Network, sir. People like me who operate in the shadows can’t get the employer’s information.”Indeed, tasks and missions always remained anonymous in the world of hitmen. The hitmen could not obtain the employer’s information unless the employer willingly disclosed their name.Even large hitman organizations like the Dark Network cannot obtain an employer’s information. After all, the missions posted online had to go through the encryption of Westfordia’s most prominent dark force, the Council.Xayne frowned, knowing the situation in Westfordia. He looked at the kneeling Dennis and said, “Go and tell the Slasher Society that I’ll give them three days to disband. Each member

    Ethan was dumbfounded. He stammered, “I-I didn’t lie to you, Penn. My target is just an ex-soldier who has no other identity. He’s just a remnant of the Xaviers that got annihilated five years ago.”Penn fell silent momentarily before coldly saying, “I see. Don’t contact me anymore, Ethan. Take care of yourself.”He hung up, leaving Ethan puzzled as cold sweat formed on his forehead. Sophia anxiously asked, “Honey, how did it go?”Ethan panicked, saying, “There’s been a slight error. The mission failed.”Sophia punched Ethan’s arm a few times and shouted, “I knew it! Your people are always unreliable. What kind of hitmen are they? They’re just a bunch of deceitful assholes!”Ethan frowned while pondering Penn’s previous words.‘Is Penn lying to me? How can a vast hitman network fail to handle someone like Xayne?’Ethan smashed his wine glass and shouted, “I’ve been fooled again, damn it! I told him that Xayne is just a useless freeloader, yet Penn doesn’t dare to take on my task

    The supervisors’ suspicious glances puzzled Serena, but Xayne understood them all too well. He frowned, sensing these supervisors were up to no good.One of them looked at Xayne and asked, “Who’s that, Ms. Serena?”Serena smiled, saying, “He’s my husband, Xayne.”The supervisors seemed to grasp something and chuckled. One said, “Oh, he’s the freeloader—I mean, your husband.”That comment made the situation awkward, but Xayne did not mind it. He knew it was intentional and that it was an attempt to embarrass him.Serena awkwardly changed the subject, “How’s the progress?”A slightly overweight middle-aged man in a navy blue suit grinned. He had documents tucked under his arm as he said, “It’s going well, Ms. Serena. There are just a few minor issues.”“What are they, Mr. Shaun?” Serena asked with concern.Since the project was related to the cooperation with the Linford Group, they could not afford to be careless. The Swifs subcontracted these construction units and were partner

    When Serena called, Tim was busy depositing more than a hundred thousand dollars in cash Shaun and the others had brought to his small safe in the office.When he heard Serena’s question over the phone, he smiled and calmly said, “Yes, I’m well aware of that. Mr. Shaun and his team have been old friends of the family. That 20% defect rate is the lowest in all of Shalholm’s renovation market. You should work well with Mr. Shaun and his team, all right?”Serena frowned and said, “Mr. Shaun said he wants to procure some materials on their own. How do you feel about that?”“That’s okay. Just trust Mr. Shaun, okay? He’s experienced and won’t make mistakes. Serena, this cooperation with the Linford Group is the most important for our family business. Mr. White’s project hasn’t started yet, so you shouldn’t take the decoration design of these malls lightly.“You must entrust it to experienced people like Mr. Shaun. You should learn more from him, understand?” Tim smiled and sipped his tea

    The moment the colossal sword fell, the entire mountain range trembled violently. The towering peak split cleanly in two, a massive chasm nearly a kilometer wide ripping through the center, sending avalanches roaring down its slopes. Every spectator shuddered involuntarily.Within the glowing barrier, Xayne was aging. His jet-black hair turned silver in the blink of an eye. A sharp realization struck him—it was a time-lock formation. Beneath his feet, a massive circular pattern flickered to life, shifting between red and white. A yin-yang symbol spun in an endless cycle, draining his vitality at an alarming rate. A wave of deathly stillness spread through his body.

They all carried countless tricks up their sleeves, refined through years of battle. Now, as an endless swarm of blood-red phantoms filled the sky, Xayne frowned. He had read about this technique in the Heavenly Tome—the Blood Phantom technique.On the surface, it appeared as a mass of shifting shadows, but the real body was hidden somewhere within. It was both an advanced illusion and a deadly attack. A single misstep would be fatal. There existed only one way to counter it—one chance to strike the real body. If he failed, the consequences would be dire. The sea of blood-red figures surged toward Xayne, their forms flickering and blurring as they closed in.Nearby, Alovandrio and Arthura exchanged amused glances, entertained by the spectacle before them. They both knew the terror of Dakura’s Blood Phantom technique. Even they wou

    A suffocating pressure filled the air, pressing down like an iron weight. Andrea’s heart pounded as he hurriedly spoke, his voice edged with urgency. "Honored elders! I mean no disrespect—I only seek reconciliation! The champions of the outer battleground are returning. If—""If?" The Lion King interrupted with a cold sneer, his tone laced with contempt."If the champions of the outer battleground return, the first person they will kill is you!" King Arthura’s voice was like a blade, sharp and merciless. "You stood by and let Eukrania’s royal bloodline be butchered! Do you even realize the weight of your crime?" His gaze bore into Andrea, unyielding and filled with contempt. "When Xayne first set foot in Eukrania, you should have driven him out at all costs! Instead, you welcomed the wolf into the fold. Worse still, you dared to speak in his defense. Calling you a traitor would be an understatement!"Cold sweat dripped from Andrea’s face. Under the piercing gazes of four Radiant Comma

    A thousand years had passed, yet he had not aged. At the level of a Divine Commander, every warrior understood one undeniable truth—once one ascended to the rank of Radiant Commander, time itself would halt. Their faces would never wither, and their youth would remain untouched until the day of their death.It was no wonder Alovandrio was hailed as the greatest legend in Eukranian history. His presence alone commanded awe, a living testament to power beyond mortal comprehension. By his appearance, he could have been no older than thirty when he first achieved Radiant Commander status.He may not have ascended as early as Xayne, but his accomplishment was no less extraordinary. A thousand years of existence, a millennium of unmatched dominance—his very name inspired absolute reverence across the land."Indeed, he is Alovandrio," one of the elders murmured. "But even a Bi-Radiant Commander is not truly immortal. If he fails to ascend to the rank of a Supreme Radiant Commander within the

Even those who had no idea who this man was were left shaken by the sight.King Arthura himself had just addressed him as "Your Majesty.""Who is that man?!""If even King Arthuraa shows him such respect, then he must be a truly terrifying figure!""He looks so familiar… Wait—could it be Alovandrio?!"A gasp of pure disbelief tore through the crowd. All eyes snapped toward the final arrival.A man in his prime, standing tall and proud, his waist-length hair billowing in the wind. In his grasp, a long spear, radiating a chilling brilliance. From among the Ten Great Families, the elder of the Ashlan family spoke with deep reverence. "That's right. He is none other than Alovandrio the Great."The moment those words were spoken, the battlefield erupted in shock. It did not matter whether they were warlords, kings, or noble heirs from the greatest houses in Eukrania—all of them lowered

From below, a noble from the Ten Great Families gasped in recognition.That legendary battle armor was once worn by Emperor Charman himself, conquering lands far and wide had returned to the battlefield.Before the crowd could even process this revelation, the northern sky erupted in a flash of crimson light.

Five hundred years ago, Dakura had already become a Radiant Commander. But his rise was unlike any other. He fed on human flesh and blood, devouring entire civilizations to fuel his strength.

    A radiant aura, glowing with crimson, gold, and white illuminated the sky.From within this dazzling light, a young man strode forward, walking through the void.
