Xayne turned and saw a pair of mesmerizing long legs striding toward him. It was Ariel, the doctor from last night.She wore sportswear and her hair in a high ponytail.'What a knockout.' Xayne's eyes lit up. Rarely did he encounter a goddess with such outstanding temperament, but in his eyes, no one could match Serena's beauty."She's gorgeous!" Filly gulped, looking infatuated. As Ariel approached, Xayne returned to his senses and asked in confusion, "Dr. Ariel, is there something you need from me?"Ariel was beautiful, with delicate facial features. Her skin was flawless, even without makeup. She seemed slightly displeased as she said, “Did you forget? We agreed that I’d pick you up after work.”'This guy isn't trying to stand me up, is he?' Ariel thought.Although Xayne knew what she meant, it might cause a misunderstanding to those around them—especially Filly, who looked at Xayne admiringly. To Filly, Xayne seemed to have a thing with the CEO while having a stunning girlf
Finally, Xayne realized Ariel wanted to know about last night’s incident. After some contemplation, he noticed Ariel was eager to hear his reply. He said, “You guessed wrong. Although I know about medicine, I’m not affiliated with Healers Valley.“It was just by chance that my master left me a pill. Indeed, my master is a renowned miracle doctor.” His explanation seemed reasonable. After all, he could consider Stephen as his master. The other two miracle doctors, Rudolf and Henry, were also like his mentors.Ariel seemed excited. “Who’d you learn from? Where is that miracle doctor now? Can you introduce me to him?”'Is there a fourth miracle doctor in Drakonia?!'Feeling awkward, Xayne pondered for a moment before replying, "Ahem, I can't. My master has traveled far and wide. Before leaving, he entrusted me not to reveal his whereabouts to anyone."He contemplated telling Ariel that his master was one of the three miracle doctors in Drakonia and that he was the elusive fourth one.
Truman smirked, confident Xayne would beg for mercy after the wine bottle hit. Then, Ariel would know who the real man was.Xayne raised an eyebrow and chuckled. A moment later, everyone witnessed a blur. Xayne held the wine bottle Truman had raised while his other hand gripped Truman's throat. Everything unfolded in the blink of an eye.The onlookers were shocked by Xayne's lightning-fast movements.Xayne had Truman's throat in his grasp, and a powerful aura erupted from him. His eyes were icy, and he uttered a single word, "Scram!"Although his voice was not loud, the thunderous momentum swept over Truman. Trembling all over, Truman felt the terrifying aura before him. The sharp and intense pressure was even more formidable than his uncle’s, Isaiah.Truman shivered. If he could turn back time, he would not have crossed Xayne and impulsively attacked him.Xayne loosened his grip and pushed Truman away with a disdainful smile. “What, do you want me to escort you out as well?”Tr
Xayne sneered. Before he could say anything, Ariel stood in front of him. "Truman, what kind of man are you? How dare you use numbers to your advantage. Don't think too highly of yourself. Now, get out!"Then, Ariel grabbed Xayne's hand, attempting to leave. However, the robust tattooed man directly blocked their path. He stood there, rubbing his chin and marveling at her. "Hey, beautiful, don't be in such a hurry. According to Mr. Truman, this guy brought trouble, and we just came to check the situation."Let's settle this. Spend a little time with us. There's a hotel nearby. If you come with me, I won't bother your little boyfriend. What do you think?" Ralph's eyes were filled with greedy desire."Ralph, it's not Ariel we want. It's this kid!" Truman, noticing something was amiss, chimed in."Do I need your opinion? Get lost!" Ralph slapped Truman and kicked him aside. He then shouted, "Hey, are you up for some fun at the hotel?""Yes, yes!" Truman, sincerely terrified of Ar
Xayne's audacity shocked everyone. They had never heard someone speak to Ralph like that. It was like the kid had a death wish. Once Ralph was riled, breaking arms and legs was just the beginning.Ariel, who was initially moved by Xayne's courage in standing up for her, became worried upon hearing his arrogant words. She tugged at his arm and said, "Xayne, what are you doing? Stop provoking them. They're not good people.""Listen to the pretty lady. We're definitely not good people. So, have you considered Ralph's offer? As long as you promise to go to the hotel with him, I guarantee your little boyfriend will be fine," said one of Ralph's henchmen, rubbing his hands with a lecherous grin.This was a perfect opportunity for him to impress Ralph. He noticed the envious gazes of the other men. Even Ralph glanced at him approvingly. It was his time to shine.However, Xayne did not heed Ariel's advice and stepped forward.A loud slap echoed through the restaurant, stunning everyone. T
Ralph was not lacking in courage. On the contrary, he could clearly discern the situation, so he bowed his head and apologized. Xayne said nothing. He just smiled as he watched, raising an eyebrow and indicating that Ralph could proceed.After some contemplation, Ralph looked at his fallen men on the ground. It was a pitiful sight. Slowly, he squatted down, hugging his head and curling his body. In front of everyone, he indeed rolled out of the restaurant."And don't come back!" Xayne coldly commanded.The small-time thugs who had been playing dead on the floor suddenly felt like they were granted amnesty. They groaned and moaned as they helped each other up, covering their faces before collectively rolling out of the restaurant. Over a dozen of them all rolled out like a collection of balls. The scene was truly shocking.Truman, watching this unfold, was utterly speechless. He had never expected Xayne to be so powerful. He felt frustrated and rolled out of the restaurant as we
Only to Xayne would Serena make such girlish complaints. "If you're tired, take a few days off. The timing's perfect. I can take you and Coco out for a little trip," Xayne suggested with a smile.Serena's eyes sparkled at the idea. She looked at Xayne seriously but quickly lost interest, saying, "Forget it. There's too much going on at the company. If I take a few days off now, the others will use it against me. Besides, the collaboration with Mr. White is about to begin."Speaking of Mr. White, Serena remembered something and asked, "Xayne, do you think I should invite Mr. White for dinner?"Xayne felt a bit uneasy at the idea, but replied, "If you want to, go ahead."Pouting, Serena pondered the matter and said, "Would a person of his stature even agree to have dinner with us?""You won't know until you try," Xayne said.She thought about it and nodded, taking out her phone to call Mr. White. Soon, a hearty male voice came from the other end, asking, "Hello, who's this?""He
Xayne casually agreed, saying, "I know. If there's nothing else, you can leave now."Seeing Xayne's agreement, Tony also wore a smile on his face. He hesitated in the living room, appearing reluctant to speak.Xayne glanced at him, frowning, and asked, "Is there something else?"Tony looked somewhat embarrassed, turned to Violet, and whispered, "How about you say it?"Violet shot Tony a disapproving look, muttering, "I knew you wouldn't dare."Then, she arrogantly addressed Xayne. "Xayne, there's another matter we need your help with. Ethan was deceived, too. He's just another victim. However, he's still locked up at the station. "Without Mr. Bruno's intervention, he might remain there indefinitely. So, Eric, or rather, the whole family, suggested that you step in. Speak on behalf of Ethan, plead for mercy from Mr. Bruno, and get him released."At this point, Xayne's eyes narrowed, emitting a chilling aura.Violet continued. "Ethan and Sophia are about to have their wedding on
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
