The authorities released Serena when Xayne returned. She cried after seeing Xayne waiting for her at the door. She ran over and threw herself into his arms, crying aggrievedly.

Xayne held Serena and consoled her, “Everything is okay now. Let’s go home.”

"Okay." Serena nodded and followed Xayne back to their small courtyard.

As for the incident, Duncan clarified it through a press conference, stating someone had sabotaged the Swift Group.

The following day, Xayne went to a Starbucks on the first floor of the Ghazali Corporation out of boredom. He bumped into Laila, who was anxiously carrying several boxes of drinks.

"Good morning, Laila."

He thought she was getting more beautiful each day. She wore a white floral shirt paired with a black pleated mini skirt, perfectly showcasing her figure. Her legs were slender, making any man want to put them on their shoulders.

"Xayne?!" Laila exclaimed.

"What's wrong? You don't seem happy to see me," Xayne awkwardly smiled.

"What are you

    Xayne returned to the marketing department, where Filly casually watched a movie on his phone. Xayne then started scrolling through social media on his phone. Suddenly, everyone in the department stood at attention and looked toward the entrance solemnly.Eight men in black suits entered in two rows of four while Ariana accompanied a middle-aged man for an inspection of the marketing department. The man looked to be in his fifties and had the demeanor of a business tycoon.“What a grand entrance, huh?” Filly muttered a few words to Xayne, “He’s Riley Strick, the chairman of Osbo Pharmaceuticals. Rumor has it he’s here to discuss a cooperation with the Ghazali Corporation.”Xayne glanced indifferently at Riley and quickly sent a message to Chuck. He then learned everything about Riley. The man had a net worth of seven hundred million dollars and was even wealthier than Ariana.Xayne muttered, “Such a big shot personally discussing cooperation here doesn’t feel right.”He realized n

    "Osbo is withdrawing its investment?" Ariana frowned. Although she had received prior notice, hearing it from the chairman still came as a shock."Mr. Riley, why the sudden decision to withdraw? I'm aware of the situation in Drakonix, and our investments there haven't been significantly affected by the recent fake medicine case. Have you heard something that caused you to pull out so quickly?"Ariana would not engage in a battle without certainty. She had already investigated and confirmed that Osbo Pharmaceuticals’ Drakonix branch ran smoothly."Ariana, don't be anxious. It isn't something I can decide alone. It's the result of discussions in our board of directors," Riley responded with a smile, “Considering my profound friendship with your father, I’m willing to help to some extent.“However, I had a heated argument with those old men on the board to secure this assistance. Still, the decision is to withdraw.”Ariana pondered with a frown while Roxanne chimed in, “Mr. Riley, th

    At that moment, a disinterested voice sounded at the door. “If Osbo Pharmaceuticals wishes to withdraw its investment, so be it. Ghazali Corporation doesn’t need charity. We can handle the research and sales just fine without Osbo.”When Xayne entered, everyone looked at him with darkened expressions. Ariana was stunned before glaring at him, asking, “Xayne, who let you in? Leave!”Roxanne looked at Xayne suspiciously, thinking it was pretty bold of him to interrupt. After all, the cooperation meant everything to Ghazali Corporation.Riley stood up and sneered at Xayne. “Are you Xayne?”Xayne looked puzzled. “Do you know me?”Riley suppressed his anger and smiled faintly. “Curtis told me about you. He mentioned Ms. Ariana having an excellent bodyguard. It’s nice to meet you.”Xayne responded with a faint smile while Ariana urgently stepped forward and said, “Let me escort you out, Mr. Riley.”“Sure, thank you, Ms. Ariana.” He then gazed coldly at Xayne and left the conference ro

    Later that afternoon, the company convened an impromptu meeting with the department heads. It created unease among the employees. Someone had leaked the news of Osbo Pharmaceuticals’ withdrawal at this critical juncture.“Who the hell spread this rumor? Find who did it!” Ariana trembled with anger as she sat in her office. “Gather all the department heads in the conference room for a meeting!”Laila witnessed her usually composed boss’s rage for the first time. Laila hastily responded, “Right away, Ms. Ariana.”She then ran out of the office and took a moment to catch her breath outside the door.“What’s wrong, Ms. Laila?” Xayne’s sudden voice startled Laila.She asked, “Why are you here again?”Xayne scratched his head and glanced at the CEO's office, feigning ignorance. "Ms. Ariana asked me to come."Laila nodded and reminded him, “Watch what you say. Ms. Ariana is pretty upset now.”Xayne smiled and thanked her before entering the office. As expected, the atmosphere in the o

    Warren pointed at Xayne and shouted, "How dare you slap her! Do you know who she is?""I do. She's your side piece," Xayne replied nonchalantly.Warren reddened with anger and motioned to slap Xayne. However, he was no match for Xayne. The latter twisted his arm and pinned him to the wall.Warren struggled. “Let go! I’m the deputy CEO, damn it! I’ll fire you if you hurt me!”Xayne spat, “Stop using your position to oppress others and threaten to fire them. I’ve heard that countless times, yet I’m still here.”Warren grimaced in anger as he shouted, “All right, let’s see how you plan to explain this to Ariana!”Xayne detested people threatening him. He tightened his grip and caused Warren to howl in pain, scaring Eloise and the two bodyguards away. Eloise screamed and caused a commotion in the entire lobby, “Security, help! Assault!”Johnny rushed over with several security guards. When they arrived, they saw Xayne pressing Warren against the wall. He shouted at Johnny, “What the

    Gordon’s subordinates were shocked. They knew Gordon could easily handle three men on his own, but Xayne had incapacitated him with the electric baton."Who is this punk? You're asking for trouble!" One guard pulled out a baton from his waist and rushed forward, aiming at Xayne’s head. The strike could leave one either brain-dead or paralyzed.Xayne raised a brow as his expression turned cold. He exuded a sharp aura, not expecting the guard to resort to deadly force. A second later, he snatched the baton from the guard and kicked him out the window.The glass shattered, and the guard crashed to the ground outside, struggling to get back to his feet. Meanwhile, the remaining guard trembled in fear and quickly fell to his knees, begging, “Mr. Xayne, you win! We were just following Mr. Warren’s orders. Please, we beg you—”Xayne kicked the pleading guard through the door, causing the door frame to shatter from the tremendous impact. Xayne was furious at that moment.Johnny’s two subo

    "Okay, see you at the restaurant at the corner of Byres Road."Eloise hung up the phone and gave Warren a thumbs-up.Warren smiled and put his arm around Eloise's waist. He kissed her cheek and said, "Good job, honey."...Xayne swaggered back to the marketing department from the security room. As soon as he entered, he bumped into Laila. Her ample curves made him a little embarrassed. Xayne quickly asked, “Are you okay?”Laila took a few steps back as she blushed. She combed her hair behind her ear and nodded, saying, "I'm fine."Immediately after, she ran past Xayne. He helplessly shook his head as she ran away.Around four in the evening, a stream of people left the conference room. As they passed the marketing department, Xayne noticed how anxious, confused, and angry everyone looked.Filly poked his arm and asked, “Xayne, I heard Osbo Pharmaceuticals is withdrawing its investments. Is that true?”Xayne rolled his eyes and asked, “Where’d you hear that from?”Filly looked

    Serena chose the private room on the second floor since she could only afford something mid-range in price. Upon entering, she nervously sat down.On the other hand, Xayne sat casually with his arms crossed. He frowned as he pondered who would dare impersonate him and contact Serena.Serena felt uneasy as she asked, “Xayne, what should we say when Mr. White arrives?”Xayne casually responded, “You can say anything you want. How did you contact Mr. White anyway?”After some hesitation, Serena smiled. “I didn’t contact him. It was the other way around.”"He reached out to you?" Xayne's frown deepened, sensing something ominous."Yeah, is something wrong? Are you overthinking it?" Serena asked, her tone turning slightly annoyed."Perhaps he's a fraud?" Xayne suggested.That statement caught Serena off guard, her expression turning conflicted. After some thought, she responded, "That's impossible. Why would anyone impersonate Mr. White?""Don't forget, Ethan hired someone to imper

    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
