Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 739
"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

The company's executives and representatives were dumbfounded. They stared at Serena and Tim with horrified expressions."What's all this about counterfeit materials?""Oh no, this is bad! How much will the compensation cost?""Is this just about money? It’s over for us once someone with ill intentions exposes this!"Some anxiously voiced their concerns. Meanwhile, Serena was just as stunned. She opened the documents and saw some on-site photos and fake material numbers and specifications.“How could this happen?” She had ensured there were no problems before signing contracts with each factory. Everything happened too suddenly.Serena anxiously explained, "Uncle Tim, that’s impossible. I made sure the materials weren’t counterfeit before signing these contracts.”However, Tim coldly rebuked, "What's impossible about it?! The evidence is right before us, and safety incidents have occurred. Are you suggesting someone’s framing you?"Tim snorted and continued, "You are fully resp

Safety was a top priority in Drakonia. Any company experiencing safety issues would face thorough investigation and severe penalties. The lives of Drakonians were paramount.The five simultaneous accidents concerning the Swift Group were the most significant issue Shalholm had faced in the past year. When the media exposed the incident, it quickly caught the attention of Shalholm’s relevant departments and even the capital authorities.In less than half a day, Shalholm's safety supervision department, the enterprise management department, Shalholm's emergency management department, the Occupational Safety Department, and the capital patrol bureau took action.They dispatched commissioners to the construction sites where the accidents occurred to collect evidence. The five departments gathered and caused a massive public opinion storm.All of the Swift Group’s construction sites received orders to halt immediately. The relevant safety production and construction documents of the S

Serena panicked as she nodded. “Yes, I am.”"Are you in charge of these construction projects?" Duncan continued questioning.Serena answered truthfully. "Yes, I’m in charge.""Very well, please accompany us for the investigation," Duncan said, gesturing. Then, several patrol officers surrounded Serena.Serena exclaimed, "Mr. Duncan, there must be a misunderstanding! I signed for those materials. There can't be any counterfeit ones. I'm willing to guarantee my life. I wouldn't allow the use of substandard materials.""Guarantee with your life?" Duncan frowned. A subtle disbelief flashed across his eyes. "Do you entrepreneurs take life so lightly? Don't you find it ridiculous? "There are already five severely injured workers still in rescue. You’ve affected five families’ lives. Do you think you can just dismiss it by saying you didn't use substandard materials?"Serena had been in a daze from the start. She had only just learned about the safety incident."Cat got your tongue?
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 744
The Swift Group executives and family members were shocked to hear that."So it was her!""What a despicable woman. Is she trying to destroy us?!""Mr. Duncan, take her away and punish her! We must give the public an explanation!"The company executives erupted into accusations. Serena was dumbfounded, her face trembling. She desperately tried to explain herself, but no one would listen, “No, I really didn’t!”Duncan scoffed and waved, signaling his men to take Serena away.The media outside exposed Serena's acceptance of a hundred and fifty grand in bribes and the use of substandard materials. It stirred up a frenzy of public opinion online and throughout Shalholm City.The enraged citizens cursed, and the families of the injured workers unfurled banners outside the Swift Group, demanding an explanation and strict punishment for Serena.…Meanwhile, Tim held an urgent press conference with the remaining company executives and family members.At the conference, the emotional

Tim watched as Eric left. Then, he turned to Tony with a sinister smile. “You and your family aren’t allowed to go anywhere until the authorities complete the investigation.”"Tim, that’s..." Tony was bewildered.Tim shrugged Tony off and left with Sophia and Vivian. The other family members followed suit.After reaching home, Sophia exclaimed, “Dad, I never expected Serena to partake in bribery.”Tim calmly sipped his tea and said, “Heh, this incident is very advantageous for us. Once they prove Serena guilty, all her projects will be ours, including Mr. White’s three-million-dollar one. We must secure it as soon as possible.”"Exactly! Serena brought disaster upon herself this time." Sophia revealed a cold and scheming smile.Meanwhile, at Osbo Pharmaceuticals, Curtis was having tea and chatting with a robust middle-aged man. The former anxiously asked, “Mr. Alec, how’s the job going?”The burly man with short hair smiled and said, "Mr. Curtis, rest assured. My people are reli

Xayne furrowed his brows upon hearing of Serena’s arrest. He asked sharply, “What happened?”Deuce explained the details of the incident, causing Xayne’s expression to darken. “Someone must’ve set her up. Let’s visit the construction sites.”Xayne bid farewell to Bruno and quickly arrived at one of the construction sites with Deuce. However, the site already had police lines around it, prohibiting entry to anyone unrelated to the incident. Xayne frowned and called Harold.After learning about the situation, Harold was in disbelief. “I’m on my way, Supreme Commander.”Simultaneously, he used his phone and issued orders to the patrol officers guarding the cordoned-off site, “Let those two men in!”The officers were stunned and promptly allowed Xayne and Deuce to enter. While the duo inspected the site, Harold arrived to inform Xayne about the relevant details, “Supreme Commander, I just received the news about this myself.“Five departments jointly enforced the safety incidents.

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
