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
"Let it go? What do you mean by that?! Do you know what I've been through in there these past two days?!" Ethan roared hysterically, his eyes bloodshot and filled with rage.Sophia was frightened.Ethan realized he had lost control and took a deep breath. Then, he grabbed Sophia's hand, saying, "Don't worry, I'll handle it myself."Ethan dialed a number, his tone menacing. "Help me find a few experts. Remember, they must be real experts. Money is not an issue. I want to break someone's limbs!"He then hung up, exuding a brutal chill.Meanwhile, Xayne, who was about to go to the Ghazali Corporation, suddenly saw a pink BMW M8 stop before him.Ariel got out of the car. This young lady wore a long, sky-blue dress and white high heels."How did you know I'd be here, Dr. Ariel?" Xayne asked, hands in his pockets, with a slight frown.Ariel was like an enchantress, looking different every time he saw her. She had started as an elegant lady, then transformed into a girl-next-door, and
"Miles! Don't be insolent!"At this moment, a dignified but pale-faced old man descended from a nearby Bentley, leaning on a cane. Behind him, a whole family of well-dressed men and women followed."Grandpa! Look at this clueless guy daring to block your way! I was just about to kick him out!" The arrogant second-generation rich kid yelled angrily, glaring fiercely at Xayne, before going to assist the old man.Xayne's expression turned cold. In the past, this spoiled young man would have been lying on the ground already."Don't be so rude. Have you forgotten the manners I taught you? When you're away from home, always be humble. Don't judge people by their appearances! Have you forgotten the lesson from last time? Apologize immediately to this gentleman!" The old man frowned and he spoke sternly, tapping his cane on the ground.The younger man lowered his head immediately, seemingly afraid of the old man."Get on with it!" The old man ordered again.The arrogant kid frowned, hes
"Alright, let him go," Sylvester waved, not paying much attention, just noting Xayne's appearance."You really know medicine. The old man's condition just now was indeed bad, a sign of a serious illness..." Ariel said, giving Xayne a curious look.Xayne's medical expertise was impressive. He calmly determined that the old man should not drink with just a glance. It takes years of medical expertise to notice that.Xayne shrugged, not offering much of an explanation."Ariel!"At that moment, a gorgeously dressed woman walked toward them, waving at Xayne and Ariel.She was clad in a long black dress, her flowing hair cascading down her back. She had delicate facial features, fair skin, and an infectious charm. She had a good figure, with assets that swayed with every step. It was hard to look away.She was a fully matured woman, and in terms of looks and temperament, she was on par with Ariel."Hannah."Ariel, full of joy, ran over, embracing the woman."It's been ages since I'v
More than ten people had already taken their seats in the private room. They were all vibrant and attractive young men and women, dressed in unique styles, chatting and joking with each other. They created an atmosphere that seemed harmonious but was mostly just a facade.Many of the guys had their eyes on the girls who had come without male companions, and quite a few of the girls were trying to seduce the well-dressed guys with luxury watches. Overall, the people in the private room were a mix of playboys, wealthy heiresses, and some schemers."Ariel! You finally made it. We've been waiting for you forever," a woman of similar age to Ariel stood up and greeted her, smiling.She was not quite as beautiful as Ariel and Hannah. However, she was dressed flamboyantly and wore heavy makeup. She had on a red crop top, and her legs wrapped in black stockings."This is Britney Wood, a local from Shalholm and my college classmate. She's the planner for this gathering. We haven't seen each
Delwyn's confidence surged as he witnessed the effectiveness of his formation. Xayne's formidable Ravenclaw dagger had been effortlessly repelled, leaving Delwyn feeling invincible.No wonder the Christy family elders always stressed the importance of mastering their First formations. The Christy family's prominence wasn't solely due to their role as guardians of the First Dragon's tomb. Their mastery of ancient formations, some passed down from the First Dragon, was unparalleled, formidable enough to command respect even from the Five Great Mountains.Delwyn laughed triumphantly. The thrill of holding his ground against a Quin-Divine Commander filled him with elation. He had overestimated Xayne.Meanwhile, Xayne retrieved the Ravenclaw dagger, noting an unusual and elusive force surrounding it. Even he couldn't fully grasp its nature. As the dagger's momentum forced him back several steps, Xayne steadied himself, his eyes narrowing."Feeling humbled now, Xayne?" Delwyn smirked, hi
"You're courting death!" Xayne's words had barely landed when a figure rushed forward, grabbing his arm tightly."Mr. Xayne! Please, calm down! This might all just be a misunderstanding. You can't start a fight here, the consequences would be unimaginable!" Luther's face had turned pale with fear.Both men, Xayne and Delwyn were far beyond what he could handle. If anything happened to either of them in Folksberg, it would spell the end of his political career and likely his freedom."Misunderstanding?" Xayne's cold laughter echoed in the room as he pointed at Delwyn. "Using my name to scam and extort people was bad enough. Forcing women into unspeakable situations? If that's a 'misunderstanding,' then what isn't?"As he finished speaking, a powerful surge of energy erupted from Xayne, his aura soaring to its peak, a Quin-Divine Commander's aura, overwhelming and unstoppable. The force shook Luther's grip loose, leaving him stumbling back in shock.Luther took one look at Xayne's i
Xayne stepped into the suite with Yanny close behind, drawing the attention of everyone in the room.A collective gasp rippled through the crowd. The two men, Xayne and the imposter looked nearly identical.Even Yanny froze, her eyes darting between them.Before, when they weren't side by side, their resemblance had been noticeable but not striking. Now, face-to-face, their shared aura and presence were unmistakable.The difference was that Delwyn carried himself with an arrogant, almost oppressive authority as if the world were beneath him. In contrast, Xayne exuded a calm yet commanding energy, one rooted in confidence rather than superiority."What is going on here?" Luther stammered, clutching his wine glass.Delwyn was momentarily stunned to see Xayne, but he quickly regained his composure."Xayne!" he sneered.The charade was over. Delwyn saw no point in pretending anymore as he took a sip of red wine from his wine glass and an arrogant expression appeared on his face. Tr
"In Warren International Hotel. But, young man, we appreciate your kindness but you can't just throw your life away!" Channy turned toward Xayne, his face full of worry.Beside him, Renny chimed in, her voice urgent. "Serena is pregnant! If something happens to you, how am I supposed to explain it to her?""I've told you. I'm Xayne too!" Xayne's tone was firm, his expression unyielding.What he left unsaid, however, was the truth: the so-called "Xayne" they'd met before was a fraud.The problem was that the Riller family had all seen Delwyn. Compared to Xayne, Delwyn carried himself with authority and charisma far superior to Xayne.No one believed that this seemingly ordinary young man before them was the legendary King of the North."Renny, take me there," Xayne ordered, casting a glance at the bedridden Yanny. Seeing that she was no longer in danger, he turned back to Renny."I..." Renny hesitated, unsure.Before she could decide, Yanny struggled to sit up on her bed. Her vo
Without wasting a second, he led a small group of servants up to the second floor at a brisk pace."Miss Yanny! Please open the door!" Loud, frantic knocks echoed from upstairs."Sir, the door to Miss Yanny's room won't open!" the butler called down, his forehead glistening with sweat as he rushed back downstairs, his breathing uneven."Then what are you all standing around for? Break the door open!" Channy's voice cracked with panic, his face flushed red with desperation. He stomped his foot and beat his chest, his heart filled with regret. He loved Renny and Yanny very much. The words he'd spoken earlier were out of desperation and now felt like a blade twisting in his gut. If anything happened to his granddaughter, he'd never forgive himself.Xayne didn't wait for anyone else to react. He stormed up the stairs, his movements sharp and purposeful. Pushing past the Riller family's servants, he raised his leg and delivered a powerful kick to the door. It burst open with a loud cr
Before the words were even finished, Xayne had already pushed open the car door and stepped out. Without hesitation, he brushed past the servants at the entrance and led Renny straight into the estate.The moment they walked in, they heard Channy pounding his chest in frustration, his voice thundering as he pointed toward the second floor. "Even if you have no regard for family, can you bear to see so many people dragged down with you?"Around him, more than a dozen servants stood in silence, heads bowed, not daring to make a sound. Two middle-aged men stood before Channy like chastised schoolchildren, their posture rigid, their faces full of unease.When Channy spotted Renny, his face twisted with a mix of surprise and anger. He barely spared a glance at Xayne. After all, in his opinion, Xayne was too ordinary, so ordinary that he didn't even deserve a second look."Renny?" Channy frowned deeply. "You're back just in time. Go upstairs and talk some sense into your sister. If she r
"Miss Riller, every move you make is under my watch. I even know when you left for Folksworth and when you came back. I have detailed reports here!" Zenn smirked as he pulled out his phone, scrolling through text messages before waving the screen in front of Renny's face."Move your car. I'm in a hurry!" Xayne said coldly, his tone sharp and unwavering.Zenn looked Xayne up and down, sneering. "Who the hell do you think you are? I'm here on Mr. Xayne's orders to wait for her. If you ruin his plans, can you bear the consequences?"As Renny had suspected, if he couldn't have her, he'd make sure no one else could either.When Zenn was having a fancy dinner with Delwyn earlier, he had spilled every detail about her. He praised the Riller sisters, calling them goddesses, but admitted that Renny was far prettier than her sister, Yanny. He mentioned how she'd gone to Folksworth and wasn't sure when she'd return.The moment Delwyn decided to send someone to drag her back to Folksberg, Zen
Serena noticed Renny's sudden change in expression and asked curiously, "What's wrong?""Nothing!" Renny's voice trembled as she swallowed hard, her small hands shaking as she quickly put her phone away. But no matter how she tried, she couldn't hide the panic in her eyes."Renny, what's going on? Do you still see me as your friend?" Serena pressed, her eyes narrowing with concern.Renny's unease didn't escape Serena's sharp gaze. Renny glanced at Serena and Xayne, her face full of hesitation. "It's about someone with the last name Xavier. He's powerful, and I don't want to drag you two into it!""What?" Serena's brow frowned.Xayne's eyes flickered with interest. He hadn't been paying attention initially, but hearing the mention of the name "Xavier" brought a subtle shift to his gaze. "Someone with the last name Xavier? Renny, can you tell me what's going on?"After a long moment of hesitation, Renny finally pulled out her phone and handed it to Xayne showing the farewell messag
Channy had stood right behind Luther, and when he heard those words, his heart sank hard. Both his granddaughters had been as stubborn as they came, but if Yanny Riller had decided to stand her ground, it would have spelled big trouble for the Riller family. This hadn't been the same as crossing the Scallow or Armen families. Xayne's influence in Drakonia had been untouchable at that time.Watching Luther bow and scrape as he ushered Xayne into the car, Channy pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Too bad he didn't know that this so-called Xayne was nothing but a fraud."Yanny, you heard what Mr. Xayne just said, didn't you? You see what I mean, right?" Channy asked.Yanny bit her lip hard, her eyes filling with tears. Her gaze was firm as she looked straight at her grandfather. Seeing that look, Channy's heart skipped a beat. He quickly grabbed Yanny's arm and guided her into the car. If Xayne saw that look of defiance on Yanny's face, it'd be the en
