Miles never believed Xayne was a miracle doctor. However, Geoffrey slapped his son, causing Miles to sprawl onto a nearby chair. Immediately after, Miles’s cheek swelled."Dad... Are you crazy? You hit me for a nobody like him?" The shocked and enraged Miles turned and glowered at Xayne. The former then lunged at Xayne, shouting, "This is your fault! I'll make you pay!"Xayne sneered at Miles’s ferocious approach, raising his hand. Suddenly, a fine needle made of refined iron appeared between his fingers. He sidestepped and jabbed it into Miles’s neck with precise accuracy."Ah!" Miles cried out in pain, stumbling and falling. Then he suddenly burst into laughter."Miles? Miles, what happened to you?" A middle-aged woman rushed forward with concern. She seemed to be Miles's mother, questioning palely, "What did you do to my son?"Xayne shrugged and said indifferently, "Nothing much. I felt he had too much pent-up anger and needed a good laugh to vent it out."Standing on the side
Soon after, several needles appeared between Xayne’s fingers. He then pierced seven of Sylvester’s acupoints. The onlookers were shocked, unable to understand Xayne’s actions.Despite people calling her the new generation’s miracle doctor, Ariel was just as puzzled by Xayne’s unorthodox techniques and acupuncture points. She noted them and planned to ask for clarification later.Several moments later, Xayne stopped and smiled, saying, “All done.”"Is that it?" Naturally, Geoffrey was the first to voice his doubts. He looked confused but hesitated to say much since he was the one who asked for Xayne’s help.'If this kid deceives me, he will pay a painful price,' Geoffrey thought."Ah, he's awake, he's awake! Dad's awake!" a middle-aged woman shouted.When everyone looked over, they realized Sylvester’s complexion had improved exponentially. He showed signs of vitality as his once-pale lips regained their color. Simultaneously, Xayne signed in relief.Sylvester coughed lightly aft
"Stark, how confident are you?" Freddie asked."A hundred percent," an eerie voice sounded from the back seat, sending shivers down one's spine. It was a burly man with closed eyes and explosive muscles.Stark was a former prominent figure in Shalholm’s underground forces. He controlled one-third of the underworld, but his men and his girlfriend betrayed him. He then spent six years in prison before Freddie recruited him."Perfect! You'll get your hundred and fifty grand once it's done." Freddie sneered as if Xayne was already begging for mercy under his foot. The former had initially planned to deal with Ariel along with Xayne. After careful consideration, he realized Ariel suited his taste.Therefore, Freddie intended to have his way with Ariel after dealing with Xayne.…They were on Northern Street on the outskirts. It was the liveliest area in Shalholm, with bars, nightclubs, and shady massage parlors. In short, the place was the center of entertainment hubs.It was a no-ma
Freddie was startled when he turned and saw the familiar face, accompanied by a chilling smirk. He glanced at the men behind Ralph, each armed and prepared."What do you want?" Freddie was somewhat intimidated, his voice trembling.Ralph just nodded toward Stark and said, "Stark, long time no see. Why are you so angry as soon as you come out?"Ralph did not expect to meet Stark when Xayne called him. Stark was the former leader of the Black Panther Group. However, Stark was mid-strike, and his fist was just an arm’s length away from Xayne’s face.A faint chill emanated from Xayne as Stark punched toward him. It was a sense of fierceness Stark had never felt before. Stark felt somewhat relieved that Ralph had arrived, allowing him to stop his punch in time."Ralph?" Stark turned and saw his old acquaintance. He glanced at the men behind Ralph and smiled self-deprecatingly. "I didn't expect the street rascal who used to hang out every day to have his own men. Not bad."Stark mainta
A loud crack echoed, followed by a scream that sent shivers down everyone's spine. Freddie just had both his legs smashed. He clutched his legs as his veins pulsed, and sweat poured down his forehead. Freddie was in agony and would have passed out if not for his regular exercises.Stark frowned at Xayne with a profound chill in his eyes. Breaking Freddie's kneecaps in front of him resembled disregarding his presence."You must have a deathwish," Stark said lowly.Xayne shrugged indifferently and said, "It's an eye for an eye. Didn't you used to do things like this before?"Swoosh!Stark suddenly attacked, his dagger aimed straight at Xayne's chest. The latter retreated and kicked Stark’s elbow. The double-edged dagger flew out of Stark’s hand and landed on the ground.Stark was surprised. He did not expect this seemingly ordinary guy to be so powerful. The former reacted quickly and kicked toward Xayne’s head.Xayne went for a powerful and forceful sidekick.Bang!A figure fle
Freddie trembled at Xayne's words. "Wh-what do you mean?”"Mr. Freddie, this is your fault. You should understand what I mean since you were trying to buy my limbs." Xayne grinned. "Simply put, your life belongs to me now. If you want to leave alive, you must pay for it."Freddie went weak in the knees, the pain from his kneecaps spreading throughout his body instantly. He threatened through clenched teeth, “We’re on Venzor’s Northern Street, where the Jensons are influential. None of you will leave here alive if you dare touch me!”He regretted bringing only Stark with him. None of this would have happened had he informed his people earlier."Oh, Mr. Freddie, you still threaten me even now?" Xayne patted Freddie's face repeatedly. "I have some business to attend to later, so I'll name the price. Nod if you agree. Otherwise, you'd have to stay here tonight."Xayne's eyes shifted, smiling."You...you can't do this! I don't understand what you're saying, and I don't have money!" Fr
"Smart move, Mr. Freddie. Now, 1.5 million for what's between your legs." Xayne patted Freddie's shoulder.Freddie burst into tears. "1.5 million?! I thought you said four hundred thousand.”Xayne shrugged. "Is 1.5 million too much? I think it's reasonable. You wouldn't want to become a eunuch, would you?""No! I disagree. You're raising the price for no reason!" Freddie shook his head. The asking price was too harsh.Even though he had a company with his dad's support and made quite a bit of money over the past few years, he had worked hard to earn it. Giving away 1.5 million was life-threatening. Suddenly, a crisp sound echoed as Xayne struck the ground with the iron rod.Xayne did not need to speak as his actions spoke louder.Freddie’s head buzzed as he clenched his thighs, affecting his kneecaps. The pain made him sweat profusely. "Okay, okay! I agree, I agree!" Xayne grinned. “Indeed, you’re a reliable businessman. Now, how about four million for your life? That’s not too
Xayne's expression darkened as he crouched down, gently grasping Serena's ice-cold hand. He asked, "Tell me who did this to you."Serena avoided his sincere and determined gaze. It seemed his seriousness left her with nowhere to hide. She could only say, "I-It was my uncle."'Tim?! That motherfucker!'Xayne’s gaze turned furious as he pressed for an answer, “Why did he hit you?”Serena felt helpless and anxious, saying, "There was an issue with the project. It's nothing serious. Don't worry about it."Serena feared Xayne might act recklessly. The latter frowned and caressed Serena's face. The vivid slap mark only fueled Xayne's anger. He asked again, “Is everything okay?”Serena held Xayne’s hand and nodded with a smile. “Everything is fine.”At midnight, Xayne sat on a reclining chair in the small courtyard and gazed at the stars. After ensuring Serena and Coco had fallen asleep, he called Deuce's phone. After all, Ace had already returned to Drakonix to investigate the Bullard
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
