At that moment, a well-dressed dandy with slicked-back hair and a rather luxurious appearance leisurely stood up, holding a wine glass in his hand. His eyes were filled with a strong sense of predation, openly revealing admiration for Ariel and shooting a lustful gaze toward Hannah.

This guy had a refined appearance, the look of a typical heir. Every move he made exuded a cultivated aura. When he looked at Ariel and Hannah, there was a desire in his eyes, but his mouth was curved in a polite smile. He raised his glass, tilted his head slightly, and drank it all at once.

Ariel was somewhat stunned, looking at Freddie with confusion. She did not recognize the man.

"Ariel, don't just sit there like a fool! Mr. Freddie is toasting you. Why don't you hurry up and have a drink? Freddie is one of the Four Scions of the Capital, a young talent who commands attention and respect. He came to Shalholm just to see you!"

Britney excitedly pushed Ariel but was secretly jealous of her.

    Ariel was taken aback and felt somewhat embarrassed. "I really can't drink..."At this point, Ariel could see through Britney's scheme. She deliberately set this gathering up to match her with Freddie. Unexpectedly, her university classmate was betraying their friendship, trying to win favor with Freddie."I don't care. Tonight, you must drink! Otherwise, we can't be friends!" Britney grumbled, sulking."It's okay. Since Ariel can't drink, we shouldn't force her," Freddie said with a gentle smile."Mr. Freddie, you'd better call me Ms. Ariel. I'm not used to being called Ariel, except by those close to me." Ariel was not a naive girl, and gradually displayed a colder demeanor. She was not going to show him respect unless he earned it. Freddie's face instantly fell and he chuckled awkwardly before sitting down. His eyes swept over to Xayne, sitting next to Ariel, and he suddenly asked, "Ms. Ariel, I wonder what your friend does for a living?"Xayne frowned. He had not expecte

    With a single statement, everyone in the entire private room was stunned."No food at home? Hahaha, you're truly something else! I don't know how Ms. Ariel can be friends with someone like you. You're an embarrassment to men!" Marty chimed in, seizing the opportunity to help Freddie attack Xayne, selling a favor to Freddie in the process."Hahaha! This is hilarious!" The laughter echoed through the room once again."Hey, Marty, you shouldn't say that. Being frugal is a virtue. After all, those who can dine here are not ordinary people. Just being here once is enough for him to brag about for an entire lifetime." The fat guy who ridiculed Xayne earlier teased with a smile.However, Xayne remained indifferent, looking at them as if they were clowns, completely unfazed.Ariel's expression grew darker, and she angrily exclaimed, "Enough! Is this how you treat my friend?""Ariel, don't get mad. We're just looking out for you. How can you be friends with such a useless person? He's n

    Everyone in the room gasped, looking at Xayne with incredulous eyes. 'Is this guy out of his mind? Did he really just ask Freddie to kneel and apologize?!'Freddie's face instantly darkened. It was the first time someone dared to demand him to kneel and apologize. It was extremely disrespectful."Bro, do you have a death wish? How dare you ask Freddie to kneel and apologize? Are you hearing yourself? You're not even qualified to be his lapdog, yet here you are, yapping away. You've overestimated yourself." Marty, who had mocked Xayne earlier, was the first to stand up, slamming the table and roaring at Xayne.Some words Freddie might not be able to say, but Marty could.Xayne smirked, coldly glancing at Marty, and said, "Oh? No wonder I kept hearing barks. It turns out you're Freddie's lapdog."Once again, everyone in the room gasped.Marty's face turned red. He stared angrily at Xayne and roared, "You... You're dead!"He could not believe that a country bumpkin, a mere bodygu

    The crowd erupted.Everyone froze instantly, all wearing looks of disbelief as they stared at Xayne. 'Good gracious! This guy must be insane! He actually dared to insult Freddie and call him a lapdog?!' They all wondered if they had misheard. At the same time, they could not help but smirk and revel in Xayne's audacity. 'This guy is finished! He may not walk out of this room today. He may end up with broken limbs and thrown out onto the street.'Freddie's face contorted with rage, his eyes flashing with a chilling intent as he looked at Xayne. "Xayne, I've tolerated you enough! Do you have any idea who you're talking to?"No one had ever dared to humiliate him like this. Freddie was furious. If it were not for the sake of maintaining his image, he would have punched Xayne in the face long ago."Freddie, Xayne is too arrogant! He is dressed like a pauper, and his mouth is so foul. Doesn't he see where he stands?" Marty, who was retorted by Xayne earlier, stood up again, angril

    "Go to hell!"Freddie aimed his fist at the approaching Xayne, his eyes radiating a murderous intent.This punch looked extremely powerful. It was truly the punch of a kickboxer. The Jenson family was indeed formidable. The onlookers marveled. Freddie wore a sinister smirk, seemingly already envisioning the sight of Xayne's nose bleeding and him kneeling and begging for mercy.However, contrary to everyone's expectations, Xayne remained calm with both hands casually in his pockets. 'Damn! Is he trying to act cool? Doesn't he realize who he's dealing with? Freddie is the reigning three-time champion in the capital's kickboxing competitions.'Britney and Marty sneered, anticipating the unfolding scene. At that moment, Xayne made his move. He raised his fist to meet Freddie's.Freddie's eyes narrowed, a malicious grin on his face. Judging by Xayne's appearance, he looked dissatisfied. 'Does he want to fight me?'At that moment, a resounding noise echoed through the entire

    Freddie was utterly dumbfounded. He could not believe that Xayne actually defeated him. Even his fingers were broken.Freddie's strength should not be underestimated. Yet, Xayne, with a seemingly light punch, shattered his arm bone while he stood unscathed and indifferent in the same spot.This left Freddie astonished and furious.Xayne walked toward Freddie. His aura was intimidating and his gaze domineering."What the hell do you want?! I am the heir of the Jenson family in the capital, and my father is Leon Jenson. If you dare do anything to me, my father and the entire Jenson family won't spare you!" Freddie, clearly panicking, took a few steps back, shouting angrily.He saw an unparalleled and chilling murderous intent on Xayne's face. This kind of killing intent was something he had only seen in his father. To be precise, the killing intent emanating from Xayne was a thousand times more intense than his father's. This was almost impossible. His father was one of the repres

    That gaze made Freddie shudder, stammering, "W-What do you want?!""What do I want? I told you. Get on your knees and give me a toast. Then, apologize for being disrespectful," Xayne replied coldly before delivering a slap across Freddie's face.Everyone was in shock. Xayne hit Freddie again. He was playing with fire."Ariel! Your friend must be crazy! How dare he hit Freddie? This is suicide!"Britney gasped and looked at Ariel in shock. "Quick, stop him! His reckless behavior will not only endanger himself, but it will also implicate us. "The Jenson family is a powerful kickboxing family in the capital. Their influence is formidable. If the Jenson family retaliates, it's over for all of us!""Shut up," Ariel coldly reprimanded, glaring at Britney, who was scared into silence.Ariel's face was pale, and her inner turmoil was evident. Xayne offended Freddie, which meant offending the Jenson family. If something really happened, it would be her responsibility.With these th

    Xayne looked at Freddie indifferently as he chuckled and said, "I'll be waiting."With that, he sat back down next to Ariel."Aren't you afraid? Freddie is the heir of the Jenson family. He comes from a lineage of kickboxers, with over three hundred apprentices and two instructors of a Master Warrior level," Ariel nervously said. "And there's Leon, one of the top kickboxers in the capital, with strength akin to a Grand Master Warrior."In the eyes of ordinary people, this was indeed extraordinary power.However, Xayne remained fearless."What's wrong? Are you worried about me?" Xayne teased playfully. Sometimes, he found Ariel quite amusing. Xayne made a casual joke to ease the tension in the air.At the remark, Ariel was taken aback. Then, she pouted and said, "Who's worried about you? I I just wanted to tell you that you've stirred up trouble with the Jenson family! You're in deep trouble now!""Oh," Xayne responded nonchalantly and calmly started to eat.He was genuinely h

    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
