Basil burst into a loud laugh, completely disregarding Xayne in front of him. He said, "Kid, you're really something. It seems like you still don't understand the situation you're in."After speaking, Basil took off his robe, revealing his bronze-toned body and muscular physique. He twisted his neck, threw a few punches into the air. He arrogantly declared, "I heard you killed Alec?"Xayne did not deny it. "Yes, I did.""Alec is a Master Warrior. If you could kill him, it means that you're stronger than you look. Let's have a little contest. If you can defeat me, you can leave this place with your wife."Basil smirked with pride on his face. Based on his judgment, Xayne, at most, had the strength of a Master Warrior, similar to his own strength a year ago. However, Basil was now almost a Grand Master Warrior himself. This was a secret Basil had kept to himself to surprise others.Xayne frowned slightly. In Basil's eyes, he thought that Xayne was afraid, so he became even more
Xayne walked over and stepped on Basil's chest.Several cracking sounds echoed as rib bones broke, resonating throughout the entire suite.Basil's face turned blue. He spat out several mouthfuls of blood and screamed miserably, "Spare me, please lift your foot. I was wrong. I shouldn't have tried for your wife. Spare me, please."At that moment, Basil understood the taste of death.The man in front of him was terrifying.Despite being a Master Warrior, he could not withstand even a single blow from the opponent. That was the strength level of a Grand Master Warrior.It was no wonder he could kill Alec and wipe out the Seven Tigers Order.He was too powerful for a man in his twenties. It was beyond Basil's expectation that such a strong person existed in Shalholm.Perhaps only Leon had the strength to fight with him.Cold and indifferent, Xayne gazed at Basil, who was spitting blood on the floor. He said in a cold tone, "Serena is the most precious thing in the world to me. Any
Basil had come to stir up trouble for the Swift family."Tim. What's going on? Have you found out what happened?" Eric anxiously looked at Tim, whose face was covered in injuries.Tim had just returned from the hospital and heard the news of Basil and ten disciples from the Jenson Kickboxing School being annihilated. He was drenched in a cold sweat."It’s over. It’s over," he muttered."Dad, I don't know what happened. All I know is that this afternoon, that scum, Xayne came and asked me where I sent Serena. He even beat me up. After that, he left. I don't know if he went to find Basil or not."Tim’s face was covered in cold sweat. He looked nervous.If it was Xayne who did it, then the Swift family was finished.Eric and the others had solemn expressions on their faces.Suddenly, a servant rushed in, shouting, "Mr. Eric, Xayne and Serena are back."Eric immediately stood up, anxiously asking, "Back? Where are they?""In the courtyard," the servant replied, gasping for breath
At the same time, a loud explosion echoed through the halls of Jenson Kickboxing School as Leon smashed the chair under him, shattering it into pieces.Immediately after, a roar resounded through the entire Jenson Kickboxing School."Arrogant scum. How dare he kill Mr. Basil and his disciples? The Jenson Kickboxing School will be his archenemy!" Leon shouted furiously."Come here. Issue an order immediately. All disciples of the Jenson Kickboxing School will rush to Shalholm immediately. I want everyone in Shalholm to know the consequences of offending the Jenson family."Leon was furious, his eyes filled with overwhelming anger and a raging murderous intent.Someone had killed his loyal subordinate. It was a flagrant humiliation against him and the entire Jenson family.Some nobody from Shalholm's Swift family dared to be so arrogant.Freddie was sitting in a wheelchair, smirking arrogantly in his heart, "Xayne. You're truly done for this time."Immediately afterward, Leon w
It was a catastrophic situation.Leon was among the top five figures in the kickboxing community of the capital. He was a powerful figure in the capital who could call the shots. Shalholm was normally entirely beneath Leon's notice.The Swift family was truly finished this time.As soon as Tim received the news, he was so frightened that he rushed back to the Swift residence, panting heavily. He barged into his father's room and dropped to his knees with a thud, tears streaming down his face. He wailed, "Father, it's over."Eric was resting, and his face immediately darkened upon hearing Tim's words. He shouted angrily, "Are you cursing your old man? No one curses their father like that!"Tim was nervous and quickly said, "No, Dad, it's not that. The Swift family is done for. Leon from the Jenson family is coming to Shalholm with five hundred disciples. They said—”After hearing these, Eric was alarmed and extremely anxious. He asked, "What did they say? Hurry up and tell me."
Upon hearing this, the entire Swift family shuddered, their faces filled with fear.Eric was particularly frightened, stammering, "Already?"Immediately, he shouted, "Quick, everyone, come out with me."Under Eric's leadership, the Swift family members all walked out of the residence. Dozens of members of the Swift family stood outside the Swift family residence, attracting the attention of many passers-by.Not long after, the Swift family felt an extremely cold and oppressive aura approaching from a distance. That feeling made them shiver.Dozens of black commercial vehicles lined up in a row, completely blocking the street in front of the Swift family residence.The car doors opened, and men wearing black martial attire jumped out, forming a vertical line, filling the open space on the street. At a glance, there were at least five hundred of them.These five hundred men, dressed in black martial attire, exuded a powerful aura, causing the Swift family members to tremble.Then
Serena frowned but quickly relaxed and nodded. "All right, I'll follow your lead."Meanwhile, Tim frantically made several phone calls, but none were answered. Eventually, the phone even got turned off. Tim was dumbfounded and driven mad, crying out, "What do we do?! That damn Serena is ignoring my calls!"The other Swifts panicked upon hearing this. "Keep calling! Are we all going to die here?!" They shouted desperately.Tim was helpless and in despair, saying, "It's...her phone’s turned off."The Swifts were dumbfounded.'Turned off?! Good Lord! Serena has a heart of stone! Is she planning to let us all die?!'Leon observed everything, saying, "Your time is almost up. You better hurry."Tim tried calling Serena's phone again, but it remained off. The Swifts panicked as they watched time slip away. Some even clung to each other, wailing and preparing to accept death. At that moment, Leon declared, “Time’s up! Who will die first?”His low growl caused everyone to tremble.
The crowd looked toward the voice and saw a figure approaching. A sense of coldness followed each step."Xayne?!"“That bastard finally decided to show up!”“Our family is on the verge of destruction because of you! Kneel and beg for Mr. Leon’s forgiveness!”The Swifts seemed to have found a glimmer of hope with Xayne’s appearance. They thought the Jenson’s should not implicate them since Xayne had returned.Tim was relieved as he knelt and pointed at Xayne, shouting, “You’re a curse to this family! We wouldn’t be in this situation if it weren’t for you. Apologize to Mr. Leon, now!”Violet gasped for air as she had narrowly escaped death. She turned to Xayne and scolded, “I almost died because of you! You’re despicable!”The other Swifts joined in condemning Xayne while Leon observed with a smirk. It seemed the Swifts did not welcome Xayne at all. At that moment, Leon placed his hands behind his back and turned to gaze at Xayne, saying, “So, you’re Xayne.”"Indeed, I am." Xayne
Deanana glanced at Xayne as she coyly smiled. "Mr. Xayne, no need to be so reserved with me. After all, I used to be one of your admirers. I always thought you were an extraordinary man."Although it seems I misjudged you, still, you were a part of my girlish dreams. Don't let your current misfortunes bother you too much. People say a fallen phoenix is worse than a chicken, and while that's true, I happen to have a kind heart."Her words, though laced with laughter, were razor-sharp. Each one was a jab meant to cut deep.Her meaning was clear: "You might have been a shining star once, but now, you're nothing in my eyes—not even worth a second glance." Helping Xayne get his luggage was just an act, nothing more."Mr. Xayne, do you remember? Just a few years ago, at this very airport, you were returning from... oh yes, the Seven Nations Summit!"You know, I waited at the airport entrance for over four hours that morning just to get your autograph. But sadly, your security team didn'
"Heh, Miss Deanana, you also know that's all in the past. Even if he were still the King of the North, we live in peaceful times now. No one gets special privileges, right?" Dean chimed in smoothly, his tone laced with mockery."Dean! Do you even realize what you're doing?!" Aava could not hold back any longer, her eyes glaring fiercely as she clenched her fists in anger."Of course, I know what I'm doing, and I know neither of you are ordinary people. Thinking about hitting me? Don't forget, there are plenty of reporters over there. If you dare lay a hand on me, I'll make sure Xayne's reputation is ruined," Dean replied smugly.Dean's sneer widened into a wicked grin, the confidence radiating from him undeniable."Manager Dean, how about this? To be honest, I used to admire Mr. Xayne. Why don't you do me a favor and return his belongings? It would be a great gesture," Deanana interjected with a gentle smile.Upon hearing this, Aava bristled with fury. She knew Deanana was up to s
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
