Upon hearing this, Ethan sneered, saying, "That’s a good idea. Let him embarrass himself in public!""Yes, yes, yes! That's the way to do it!""Perfect, then we can distinguish who is real and who is fake.""Xayne is funny. How dare he have someone impersonate Mr. Bruno?"For a moment, the members of the Swift family mocked Xayne.Later, when everyone was chatting, Ethan took Emmett outside. After looking around, he whispered, "Are you sure?"Emmett replied, "Rest assured, Mr. Ethan. I am an experienced actor who plays the role of Mr. Bruno. No one can be more convincing than me. As long as the other person is not the actual Mr. Bruno, I’ll definitely come off as the real deal!"Upon hearing this, Ethan nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Good, very good! I'll give you an additional two thousand afterward.""Really? Thank you, Mr. Ethan!" Emmett shouted excitedly, tears filling his eyes.He was over fifty years old, and it was not easy to pretend to be a big shot
Everyone gasped as the atmosphere tensed. There were impostors pretending to be Mr. Bruno."Oh my, these two Mr. Brunos look identical. If you don't look carefully, it's tough to distinguish between them.""This is hilarious. Xayne actually brought a fake Mr. Bruno to dinner. What is the meaning of this?""That's bold of him! Isn't he bringing shame to the Swift family?"Questions and disapprovals from the crowd continued.At the main table, Tim and others were startled when they saw Bruno beside Xayne. If there had not been another Bruno sitting there, they would think that the guest Xayne brought was the real deal. They looked incredibly similar.This made Tim extremely angry. He slammed the table and shouted, "Xayne! How dare you! Today, we finally managed to invite Mr. Bruno through Mr. Ethan, and you dare to bring a fake Mr. Bruno here just to show off? Is this all nothing but a joke to you?""That's right! It's despicable that he even came," Vivian scolded."Tony, is this
Upon hearing this, the whole venue fell silent. Everyone gasped. Xayne was so arrogant he dared to declare openly that the Mr. Bruno before him was fake. It was unbelievable!"What did you say?! Kid, you're outrageous! How dare you say I'm fake?!"Emmett was furious, his face turning red, eyes bloodshot. Being accused of being fake to his face was what he hated the most, making him both flustered and enraged. Although he was indeed an impostor, being called out by someone else made Emmett furious."Xayne! Have you not gone too far? How dare you disrespect Mr. Bruno like this?! You even called him an impostor!" Ethan immediately stood up, staring at Xayne coldly, then scolding angrily."This is insane! Mr. Bruno, such a distinguished figure, is suspected of being fake!""Ridiculous! Does Xayne think the one he invited is genuine?""How funny! I can't stand it anymore. Let's just kick them out!"Members of the Swift family, including Tony and Violet, were all filled with ang
Kai Smeeth is a billionaire with over 1.5 million net worth.Upon hearing this, Emmett was taken aback, sweating. He glanced at Ethan and said, "Of course I do. Uh... Kai and I are old friends. We have a good relationship together. We often discuss bridal design concepts together and frequently go horseback riding and golfing."Upon hearing these words, the people below showed envy and admiration."Wow! Mr. Bruno is truly amazing! To think he goes horseback riding and golfing with such a big shot.""Mr. Bruno, you're awesome!"Hearing the admiration from the crowd, Emmett also had a proud look on his face.The real Bruno smiled and said, "Since that's the case, why don't we have Mr. Bruno call Mr. Kai? I believe everyone here has an overwhelming admiration for Mr. Kai."Emmett's face turned extremely ugly instantly, and sweat poured down his forehead."Well..." Emmett stammered.He obviously did not know Kai. This was turning out to be a disaster. Emmett looked at Ethan for he
The call went through.The entire room fell silent. Everyone stared at Bruno with expressions of shock, some even gasping in disbelief. On this side, Bruno chatted briefly with Kai before hanging up, leaving the Swift family members in the room dumbfounded."Wh-what's going on?""He really called Kai?""Isn't he supposed to be the fake? What's happening here?"At that moment, Emmett was panicking, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He was flustered because the other party had actually called Kai."Heh, interesting. I didn't expect your act to be so thorough. Is the Kai on the phone also fake? After all, none of us have seen Kai. You just made a random call, trying to deceive us?"These words instantly made everyone realize the situation. Emmett was also excited, shouting, "Exactly. That Kai is also a fake. You guys are shameless. Impersonating my identity and deceiving others. I've given you a chance. Since you refuse to admit your mistake, don't blame me for bei
A pair of icy eyes swept across the room. It was Linford.The Swifts were dumbfounded. At that moment, Eric and Tim, among others, stood up respectfully. They left the main table to greet him. "Lieutenant Linford, why are you here?"The other family members followed suit and showed the utmost respect. Linford stared at them and spoke with a frigid tone, "I heard someone here is impersonating Mr. Bruno, so I came to take a look."Amidst the crowd’s astonished gazes, Linford approached the real Bruno and said, “I apologize, Mr. Bruno. I rushed here after receiving your call. I’ll take it from here.”Bruno nodded lightly. Meanwhile, the Swifts were shocked at what they had just witnessed.“Goodness, that’s the real Mr. Bruno?!”“What on earth is happening? The one Ethan brought is an impostor?”“It’s over for our family, especially since Lieutenant Linford is here.”Linford glared at Emmett, who attempted to escape. The former roared, “Get him!”A guard rushed forward and kicked
The Swifts exchanged flustered looks. Even Eric was ashamed as he said, “Mr. Bruno, you—”Before he could explain himself, Bruno turned and approached Xayne and Serena, saying, “Mr. Xayne, the matter is resolved. Shall we leave?”Xayne nodded and replied, "Sure."With that, he grabbed his astonished wife and left the private room. After the trio left, the family erupted into thunderous discussions."What on earth just happened?!""Xayne somehow brought the real Mr. Bruno here.”"We're done for! Did we just offend Mr. Bruno? What are we going to do?"Eric and Tim, among others, appeared regretful and worried."Tony, Serena is your daughter, and Xayne is your son-in-law. We need your help. Please beg Mr. Bruno for forgiveness on our family’s behalf.” Eric looked seriously at Tony.Tim added, "Yes, Tony, we'll leave this matter to you. It's crucial for our family's future. You must handle this well."Tony was stunned but could only nod and promise. "I'll try."Meanwhile, Serena
“Ms. Ariana, something's wrong! There's trouble downstairs!” Laila urgently opened the door to the CEO's office."Trouble?" Ariana frowned. She quickly took the elevator to the ground floor in her high heels, clad in a black miniskirt. By now, the ground floor was already in chaos, with the troublemakers confronting the security guards.Ariana arrived at the scene, her expression stern. She first had someone take the injured security guard out, then stood at the forefront, guarded by a few security personnel."Are you Ariana Ghazali?" The leader of the troublemakers saw a beautiful woman on the other side, a hint of lust flashing in his eyes."I'm Ariana Ghazali, the CEO of Ghazali Corporation. If you have something to say, say it to me!" Ariana was indifferent, her tone exuding a sense of arrogance.The lead troublemaker sneered, taking a package of pills from one of his men and throwing it on the ground. He roared, "My boss took the medicine your company made! Not only did it fa
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
