"What’s with your attitude?" Warren's expression darkened. "What kind of bodyguard did you hire, Ariana? If you don't handle problematic employees like him, I'll call the board of directors now and let them deal with it."

Warren quickly took out his phone to make a call, but his phone disappeared from his hand in the blink of an eye.

“Are you that immature? Imagine being a grown-up who’s a snitch.” Xayne played with Warren’s phone with a faint smile.

“What did you say?!” Warren’s eyes widened. No one had ever confronted him before. He thundered, “Ariana, why would you hire such a problematic employee?!”

“That’s enough!” Ariana glanced at Xayne and then at Warren, saying coldly, “I hired Xayne, so it’s my decision whether or not he stays. You don’t need to concern yourself with that, Mr. Warren.

She then glanced back at Xayne and said, “Xayne, put down the phone and leave.”

Xayne shrugged, casually tossing the phone to Warren. The former put his hands in his pockets and leisurely

    ‘You're having dinner with a sought-after bachelor. Who do you take me as?’Curtis had plotted for today for too long. He would not allow anything to get in his way. Anyone who got in his way would face the consequences.As he was about to confront the situation, a subordinate ran over and whispered to him, “Sir, they’ve caught Tanner.”Curtis frowned and lowered his voice, asking, “How’d he get caught? Never mind, forget about him for now and focus on what’s important tonight. Ensure you get a few more people and make no mistakes.”Tanner was more trouble than he was worth. Despite helping Curtis secretly, Tanner still managed to mess things up. After some thought, Curtis suppressed the hint of anger in his heart.He had arranged for Tanner to stir up trouble at Ghazali Corporation, aiming to gain more leverage for tonight's dinner. Yet, his plan failed. He gloomily ordered his subordinates to step back and then adjusted his tie with a forced smile as he walked out.“Ms. Ariana,

    Xayne appeared to be an easily provoked greenhorn, raising his wine cup, ready to gulp it down. It amused Curtis. The latter initially considered putting in some effort to deal with Xayne. However, he did not expect the young man to be so unaffected.The next step was to get Xayne drunk. Once he hit the floor, Curtis could proceed without hindrance. As for Ariana, Curtis had prepared a big surprise for her.Meanwhile, Ariana kept signaling Xayne with her eyes, but he did not even look at her.'Damn it, what's wrong with him? Doesn’t he realize Curtis wants to get us both drunk? I don't trust him!' Ariana was anxious, but she couldn't speak out. She could only keep trying to get his attention.Simultaneously, Curtis lifted a high-footed cup and drank with Xayne."Haha, you seem to be able to hold your alcohol. We’re friends today!" Curtis smiled, pouring another full glass for Xayne and patting his shoulder. "I'm older than you, so call me brother if you don't mind. Here’s a toast

    ‘Who is this young man?'Everyone turned their attention to Xayne, seemingly trying to figure out who he was. The worried middle-aged man hastily asked, “Can you really save Mr. Clark, young man? I promise to give you anything you want if you save him!”Xayne nodded silently, his demeanor mysterious. From the conversations, he learned that Clark was a retired military general. Clark had been on numerous battlefields and was an honored veteran of Drakonia, even by the Emperor.Xayne could not just stand by and watch.Ariel, who was preparing to put away her medical equipment, frowned slightly. She looked at Xayne with a hint of displeasure. She had already diagnosed Clark's condition and believed that even the best doctors could not save Clark.However, the intruder claimed he could. It was not that she looked down on others, but she was the capital’s renowned miracle doctor and the daughter of Lance Neel. Everyone in the capital knew who the miracle doctors were.Ariel considered

    The middle-aged man was somewhat irritated. The handsome man beside Ariel was ordering the middle-aged man’s subordinates around, which did not sit well with the latter.If it were not for the middle-aged man’s respect for Ariel, he would have kicked the handsome man out long ago. Xayne glanced sidelong at the handsome man and walked past Ariel steadily."What are you doing?" The handsome man was startled, awkwardly taking a few steps back. Suddenly, a loud slap echoed throughout the private room. Everyone was dumbfounded as Xayne had resorted to violence at the slightest provocation.Xayne said coldly, “You talk too much. I told you I could help that old man, didn’t I?”Xayne exuded a dominating aura, sending shivers down everyone’s spine. The handsome man took a while to react. He palmed his reddened cheek and shouted hysterically, “How dare you hit me! I’ll kill you!”“That’s enough!” The middle-aged man could no longer stand it. He glared at the handsome man, scaring him int

    ‘This guy’s definitely causing a scene!’ The handsome man sneered. He thought Xayne would wet himself if he knew Clark’s identity.“Anyway, here’s the pill. It’s up to you whether or not you give it to the old man.” Xayne did not waste time. He held the pill and gestured for Isaiah to take a look.The pill did not look like ordinary medicine. Drakonia’s miracle doctor, Stephen Saye, had meticulously concocted it. He spent over three years researching and refining the pill. It was a life-reviving pill that was effective for sudden severe illnesses.It revived the dead by stimulating blood circulation and vitality. Moreover, there were only five of these pills in total. Stephen kept two for himself and gave the remaining three to Xayne. The latter carried these pills with him at all times, just in case.Unexpectedly, it proved helpful today. Xayne could have used his medical skills to treat Clark. However, he decided to use Stephen’s pill to avoid unnecessary trouble. If someone disc

    Isaiah slapped the handsome man and glared at him. “Shut up and fuck off!”The latter’s face reddened as he silently retreated to the side. He even glowered at Xayne resentfully.Isaiah then excitedly rushed over with tears streaming down his face. “Mr. Clark, you’re finally awake!”Clark suddenly stood up and waved his limbs. “Hahaha, I haven’t felt so energetic in ages! I bet your son can’t outrun me now, Isaiah!”Ariel watched in astonishment. She said Clark only had one breath left, yet he stood before her, full of life. Judging by his complexion, Clark had indeed recovered. Ariel could not help but look at Xayne, sitting in a corner as if nothing had happened.‘Who on earth is this guy? How did he revive Mr. Clark with just a pill? Is he from Healers Valley?’Only those from Healers Valley could pull off such a thing with pills. Stephen had founded Healers Valley. The medical sect not only possessed unparalleled medical skills but also reached the pinnacle of alchemy.Every

    Xayne smiled and said, "Sure thing, Isaiah. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave.""Hold on. I haven't thank you yet." Clark smiled kindly and motioned to bow.However, Xayne quickly stepped forward and stopped the veteran from bowing. It was not Xayne’s way of doing things. He said, “It was just a small favor, Mr. Clark.”Clark nodded and smiled. The more he looked at the young man, the more he liked him. The old man thought Xayne was a good man who cared for and respected his elders. If it were a decade or two ago, Clark would have urged Xayne to join the military.After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xayne left the private room to search for Ariana. However, he realized she had already left. She even told the waiter to inform him about it. As Xayne was about to exit the hotel’s main door, a group of people hastily appeared.“Hehe, you’re Xayne, right? We finally caught up with you. Cuff him and take him away!”Leading the group was a patrol team captain. Curtis had call

    Jeremiah grew impatient. He pointed at Xayne and declared, “We are patrol officers, and upholding justice is our code! I can add another charge of defamation to your list with the things you said.”Just half an hour ago, Jeremiah received a call from Curtis instructing him to handle something. Curtis promised him a ten-thousand-dollar reward if he was successful. Additionally, detaining commoners was a task Jeremiah was well-versed in.He pointed at Xayne and whispered aggressively, “You better be honest and cooperate with the investigation. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you regret it at the station.”Xayne looked at Jeremiah with no signs of anger. Instead, the former smiled mockingly with a hint of provocation."Why are you smiling?" Jeremiah became even more furious because he suspected Xayne of mocking him. His gaze was full of contempt."Why am I smiling?" Xayne's smile suddenly turned cold, his eyes carrying a chilling intensity. "You're facing death, yet you still don’t realize

    Deanana glanced at Xayne as she coyly smiled. "Mr. Xayne, no need to be so reserved with me. After all, I used to be one of your admirers. I always thought you were an extraordinary man."Although it seems I misjudged you, still, you were a part of my girlish dreams. Don't let your current misfortunes bother you too much. People say a fallen phoenix is worse than a chicken, and while that's true, I happen to have a kind heart."Her words, though laced with laughter, were razor-sharp. Each one was a jab meant to cut deep.Her meaning was clear: "You might have been a shining star once, but now, you're nothing in my eyes—not even worth a second glance." Helping Xayne get his luggage was just an act, nothing more."Mr. Xayne, do you remember? Just a few years ago, at this very airport, you were returning from... oh yes, the Seven Nations Summit!"You know, I waited at the airport entrance for over four hours that morning just to get your autograph. But sadly, your security team didn'

    "Heh, Miss Deanana, you also know that's all in the past. Even if he were still the King of the North, we live in peaceful times now. No one gets special privileges, right?" Dean chimed in smoothly, his tone laced with mockery."Dean! Do you even realize what you're doing?!" Aava could not hold back any longer, her eyes glaring fiercely as she clenched her fists in anger."Of course, I know what I'm doing, and I know neither of you are ordinary people. Thinking about hitting me? Don't forget, there are plenty of reporters over there. If you dare lay a hand on me, I'll make sure Xayne's reputation is ruined," Dean replied smugly.Dean's sneer widened into a wicked grin, the confidence radiating from him undeniable."Manager Dean, how about this? To be honest, I used to admire Mr. Xayne. Why don't you do me a favor and return his belongings? It would be a great gesture," Deanana interjected with a gentle smile.Upon hearing this, Aava bristled with fury. She knew Deanana was up to s

    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
