Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 72
It was simply horrifying!Sophia was completely stunned by Xayne's chilly aura!"Grandpa, say something. This partnership is so important to us. How can we simply hand it over to someone who doesn't know anything? S-she's going to ruin our family's reputation!"Sophia immediately grabbed Eric's arm and said in a coquettish voice.Eric's expression darkened as he contemplated the pros and cons. Finally, he said in a cold voice, "That's enough! Serena was the one who secured the project, after all. If she wants to be a part of it, she will.""Grandpa, but..."Sophia wanted to protest further, but Eric raised her hand and cut her off. "However! Before that, I'll assess both of your capabilities. Each of you will anonymously submit a business proposal for this cooperation. Then, we'll conduct a vote within the company. The person with more votes will have full authority over this project! Xayne, Serena, are you fine with this?"After hearing that, Sophia and her family suddenly look

Xayne smiled dotingly. The sunlight cast a shining glow on his side profile, making him look so handsome and gentle."Of course." Xayne caressed Serena's head.Serena blushed and shyly buried her face in Xayne's embrace, not knowing how to respond.After some time, she sat up and took a deep breath. Then, she clenched her fists and encouraged herself, "All right! From today onward, I, Serena Swift, will work hard and be strong!"On the same day, Serena went back home and gathered several books about the Swift Group and a few about business planning.Xayne watched Serena aimlessly flipping the books without learning anything and smiled resignedly. Then, he personally picked a few other books and handed them to her. "Try these."Serena lifted her brows and blinked her puzzled eyes. "How do you know so much? Weren't you in the military? Did they teach you all this in the camp?"Xayne shrugged his shoulders. "Did you forget that I was once the heir of the Xavier family? I've been ex

Violet exploded with anger!She had never been so infuriated before and Xayne's words completely enraged her!"What did you say? What do you think you are? Serena's my daughter. Although I wasn't the one who gave birth to her, I'm still legally her mother! I oppose this marriage! Never!" Violet shouted furiously.She had planned to introduce Serena to some young heir of other wealthy families or successful businessmen.Besides, Serena was still one of the prettiest women in Shalholm. Although she already had a child, it would not hinder her chances of marrying a wealthy man, since there were many infertile but rich bachelors in Shalholm waiting for someone like Serena, who conveniently already had a child.Xayne ignored her and simply dragged Serena away and left in front of her.Violet got nervous as she chased after them and yelled, "Y-Y-You're doing too much! How dare you ignore me like that? I'm the head of this family! You'll have to leave this place immediately as long as I

Serena lowered her head shyly as butterflies fluttered in her stomach.Meanwhile, Coco covered her mouth, squinted her eyes, and giggled at the side, "Oh, oh, oh. Mommy's shy. Mommy's shy..."Serena immediately chased after her upon hearing that and pretended to be angry. "Coco, what are you talking about? I'm going to spank you...""Ah! Daddy, Mommy's going to hit me." Coco ran over and jumped into Xayne's arms.Serena glared at Xayne and said, "You're going to spoil her."Xayne shrugged his shoulders and made funny faces with Coco at Serena. "She's my daughter. What's wrong with spoiling her?"Meanwhile, after Royce left the cottage with Violet, he threw the gift boxes angrily on the ground and shouted, "Mom! Did you see how arrogant Xayne was just now? Who does he think he is? How dare he speak to us like that? I'm so mad!"Violet replied with a cold expression, "That's enough. Just stop complaining. I would never have come to this stupid place if it weren't for the partnersh

Finally, the results were in. The first proposal had garnered an impressive eighty percent of the votes, securing a decisive victory."Alright," Eric said, his satisfaction evident as he accepted the name list from his assistant. A faint smile graced his face, convinced that Sophia's proposal would undoubtedly secure the victory. After all, with her extensive years of experience and remarkable capabilities, she should have far surpassed Serena in terms of capability.Confidently, Sophia stood up, wearing a smug smile as if she had anticipated her name being called next. Her demeanor exuded self-assurance, while Serena anxiously remained seated beside her."Watch this, I'm definitely the winner!" Sophia declared, gazing proudly at Serena.But then, Eric's next words shattered everyone's expectations. "It was prepared by... Serena Swift..."The room fell into stunned silence as Eric's announcement reverberated. He glanced at the name list in his hands, clearly bewildered, and sought

"Ah!" Violet was shocked that she covered her mouth and widened her eyes, looking at what had just happened in front of her in disbelief.Royce cowered in fear, seeking refuge at the side while his eyes darted nervously around.A vivid red handprint appeared instantaneously on Serena's face, a horrifying sight to behold. She sat there in a daze, struggling to comprehend what had just occurred. Tears of injustice and confusion welled up in her eyes."Sophia... what did I do wrong?" Serena's voice quivered as she fought back the urge to cry. She held her stinging cheek, trembling all over.Sophia clenched her teeth in anger, furrowing her brows. "Who do you think you are? How dare you take this project away from me? A bitch like you has no right to be here!" With those words, she raised her hand, poised to slap Serena once more.However, things did not go her way this time, because her arm was grasped by another hand in the air.Xayne suddenly appeared behind Sophia. When he saw th

Xayne accompanied Serena to a nearby clinic to have her injuries assessed. Fortunately, her condition was not serious, and all she needed was some ice to soothe her face."I'm sorry, Xayne. I-I feel like I let you down," Serena murmured, her head bowed as tears streamed down her face. She felt deeply wronged and preferred not to delve into the details.Xayne gently caressed her head and reassured her, "Don't worry. Nobody will ever bully you again. I'll always be by your side."Serena nodded, wiping away the tears that welled up in her eyes. Then, with a hint of joy in her voice, she exclaimed, "Oh, by the way, Xayne, my proposal got approved! I can't thank you enough for staying up with me day and night to finish it. I couldn't have done it without you."Xayne smiled warmly and replied, "It wasn't really about me. You achieved this through your own hard work."They exchanged glances, their smiles reflecting the deep bond they shared.Meanwhile, Sophia vented her frustration to T

Serena was stunned by the unexpected slap, and she immediately started crying. That was the second time she had been slapped that day. In a world that had always felt like a minefield of hostility, Serena struggled to grasp the reasons behind the Swift family's unwavering animosity. Each blow, each cutting remark, etched deeper into her wounded psyche, leaving scars that not even time could heal. 'Why am I the target of their disdain? Why do they revel in causing me such relentless pain?'Eric's snort echoed through the air as he stormed into the room. "Where's Xayne?" he barked, his voice dripping with contempt and frustration.Unable to meet his gaze, Serena lowered her head, her trembling hands futilely wiping away the tears that streamed down her face. "He went out with Coco... Grandpa, please take a seat," she managed to say, her voice strained with a mix of vulnerability and respect.Even in the midst of her own agony, Serena's empathy tugged at her heartstrings. Despite the

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
