Having said that, he quickly walked to the guard post and dialed a number. "General Otis, the mission didn't go as planned. The King of the North didn't show up at the east gate. He used a body double to deceive us.""I suspected as much. The King of the North is not someone you can easily capture. Inform the men and stay vigilant. Activate drones to patrol the town, closely monitor any suspicious situations, and find the King of the North at all costs.""At once!"Just as Otis finished speaking, a burly figure entered the fortress gate. He towered at two meters tall, with thighs thicker than an average person's waist.His face was dark, and he spoke with a chill. "General Otis, you are being too cautious. Just let our ten Legend Warriors enter the town and finish him off. Why go through so much trouble? He's just the King of the North, and we are renowned international warriors. Even if he has three heads and six arms, there's no way he can walk out of the town alive."General
In sight was a luxurious room, with two rows of large couches and a desk in the center adorned with stacks of cash. Surrounding the room were several sturdy locals, all of them armed with firearms at their waists.At that moment, a middle-aged man wearing a floral shirt, a floral hat, and a large gold chain around his neck walked in from behind. "A rare guest! I never thought the renowned Drakon King would actually come to my place."The man had a sly smile, revealing a few large gold teeth. Holding a whiskey bottle, he poured a glass for Xayne and then sat directly across from him. He asked with a smile, "Drakon King, what orders do you have?"Xayne's expression remained cold as he directly stated, "Help me get rid of the tailers."The man chuckled and said, "Drakon King, you must be joking. Do you know that since you entered this town, you've been targeted by people from Five Nations? According to my information, General Otis has set up a trap in Dragon Gate Mountain, just wait
Xayne had already left Volendam, and Robert's men took care of the tailers from the Five Nations.Now, he was alone, driving an off-road vehicle, heading towards Dragon Gate Mountain.About a mile away from Dragon Gate Mountain, Xayne jumped out of the car and concealed it on the spot. Then, he swiftly moved through the woods, weaving in and out among the trees.Soon, he climbed a steep cliff and reached a nearby mountaintop, hiding in the bushes. He took out binoculars, carefully observing the geographical terrain and strategic defenses of Dragon Gate Mountain.Sure enough, Xayne discovered at the foot of the mountain a hundred armored vehicles equipped with weapons of terrifying destructive power. Nearby, there were also two helipads with six armed helicopters.Various hidden posts and patrolling soldiers were scattered all over Dragon Gate Mountain. In the sky, surveillance drones kept a tight watch.This level of intense monitoring made it difficult for even a fly to enter or
At this moment, Xayne had already donned a soldier's uniform, blending into the crowd of searchers. Xayne watched Otis, who was just a few hundred meters away, with a faint, cold smile. This distance was more than enough for him to claim Otis's head.However, he couldn't afford to startle the snake. His current goal was to rescue Ace. After causing a series of disturbances, Xayne slowly distanced himself from the main search party. Then, seizing a few opportunities, he dashed toward the military fortress halfway up the mountain. Near the military fortress, only a few dozen fully armed soldiers remained, along with some armored vehicles and jeeps. Xayne walked out, using their language, and said coldly, "General Otis's orders. You all must immediately head down the mountain to capture the King of the North!" Upon seeing Xayne wearing their military uniform, the dozens of soldiers looked confused, then coldly asked, "General Otis's orders? He instructed us to stay put and guard
Blood Butcher was a fourth-ranked Legend Warrior from North Yisher Nation. Upon hearing the opponent's name, Xayne frowned slightly. He had heard this name before. Once, a man stormed into a grand army of thousands, slaughtering them all and earning the notorious name of Blood Butcher. This person's reputation in North Yisher Nation was renowned, especially in the bordering Five Nations, where he was a bona fide villain. The number of people who died at his hands was in the tens of thousands.Meanwhile, Blood Butcher, with a fierce and sinister grin, looked at Xayne and was quite excited. He threw a punch directly, carrying a burst of energy, and fiercely struck Xayne."Today, I will kill the Drakon King and cement my reputation as the strongest of all!" Blood Butcher roared. The force behind this punch was insane.Xayne dodged quickly with a swift movement.Blood Butcher's punch slammed directly into a stone wall beside Xayne. The wall cracked and then burst into pieces. A rum
Blood Butcher let out a fierce roar, swiftly getting up. Clenching his left fist, he charged towards Xayne, taking a giant leap and soaring over three meters high. In an instant, Blood Butcher, suspended in mid-air, exuded a fierce and menacing aura. He aimed a powerful punch toward Xayne's head.This punch carried a force of at least ten thousand pounds. Even stone walls, iron armor, and cannons would be instantly shattered.However, Xayne stood still, raising his eyebrows as he calmly faced the airborne Blood Butcher. With a composed fist, he countered the attack.Boom!The fists collided, and the sound of bones shattering echoed once more, resonating through the surroundings.Blood Butcher let out another miserable scream. His body was sent flying backward. Seizing the advantage, Xayne pursued him, diving straight down. He leaped into the air and, in an instant, reached the still-airborne Blood Butcher. Then, he swiftly lifted his right fist and, from above, delivered a thu
The jeep landed, leaving behind a long, elegant skid mark on the ground. Simultaneously, the car door was kicked open with a powerful kick, crashing into a stone wall with a resounding smash. From the driver's seat, Xayne calmly stepped out, his face carrying an overwhelming aura of killing intent as he stared at the nine imposing figures in front of him.Nine Legend Warriors.It was truly a grand entrance.Upon seeing Xayne appear, excitement filled the faces of the nine individuals. Davy felt a sense of leadership and stepped forward, about to speak. However, Xayne coldly interrupted him, saying, "Where is Ace?"Davy frowned slightly, somewhat displeased, and said, "King of the North, now that you're here, your fate is no longer in your hands. Only if you defeat us do you have the qualification to see your subordinates again. Otherwise, today, you and your subordinates will become forgotten skeletons in Dragon Gate Mountain.""Who are you?" Xayne asked, glancing sideways with
He had been stuck at the level of Legend Warrior for several years, unable to break through. It was necessary to go through a fierce battle to make a breakthrough. With ten Legend Warriors teaming up to besiege the Supreme Commander, it was his best opportunity for a breakthrough. As long as they kill the King of the North, he could break into the Celestial Warrior level.However, at the moment, it looked more difficult than he anticipated.While Davy was contemplating, Xayne and Scarlett had already exchanged several moves.Scarlett suddenly spun and delivered a side kick, lifting her leg like a steel whip, fiercely slicing the air toward Xayne's head. However, Xayne did not even dodge. He raised his hand and directly grabbed Scarlett's ankle. Despite Scarlett's efforts, she could not advance half an inch.Suddenly, she kicked off the ground with her left leg, propelling herself into the air. In a mid-air spin, she forcefully thrust her left knee toward Xayne's chin. However
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
