Boom! A bullet burst out from the barrel, cutting across hundreds of meters, carrying a shockwave that directly pierced through a soldier's abdomen and then hit the ammo box behind him.Boom!An explosion erupted, and flames soared into the sky.The next moment, the entire artillery battalion experienced a chain reaction of explosions.In an instant, the entire area turned into a sea of fire.Countless soldiers were blasted to pieces. Some even managed to rush out of the fire but quickly fell to the ground.Xayne stood on the tree branch, his expression indifferent, his face illuminated in a fiery red by the soaring flames.Then, he turned around, jumped down, and swiftly dashed through the jungle. Behind him, a sea of fire, accompanied by desperate screams, echoed.In the town of Volendam, the people also felt the enormous impact of the explosion. Countless residents of the town gazed toward the direction of Dragon Gate Mountain, where the flames shot up into the sky.At th
A grenade rolled in directly from the doorway."Grenade!" The vice officer shouted in terror, flipping over and sprawling on the ground.Boom! The explosion reverberated, flames shooting up into the sky, and the entire command room was blown away.Several soldiers were all blown to death, their flesh and blood a gruesome sight.The vice officer had his leg and arm severed by the blast. Covered in debris and lying in a pool of blood, he watched an unfamiliar face approaching with an assault rifle."K-King of the North..." The vice officer spat out blood, trembling all over, staring at the man before him.Xayne stood coldly in front of the vice officer. Then, he pulled out a cigarette and took a puff before squatting down and inserting the cigarette into the vice officer's mouth.The next second, Xayne aimed for his head.Just like that, the entire command room was wiped out.Afterward, Xayne quickly left the scene.Not five minutes later, nearby soldiers swarmed in. When the
In an instant, the three hundred elite warriors of Dracarium surged forward.Countless figures leaped from the cliffs, turning into black shadows weaving through the dense forest. Each figure was unstoppable, directly sending dozens or even hundreds of fully armed soldiers flying.Boom! Boom! Boom!Explosions echoed continuously in the dense forest. The entire Dragon Gate Mountain was divided into hundreds of small-scale battlefields.Those well-equipped soldiers now seemed like lambs being targeted by three hundred fierce beasts, utterly at the mercy of their assailants.In the dense forest, cries of misery, gunfire, cannon blasts, and the thunderous sound of armored vehicles being destroyed filled the air. A figure flashed through it all, directly harvesting the lives of a group of soldiers, blood splattering everywhere.The figure licked the blood off the blade, turned around, and shot off to the next battlefield.A burly man of immense stature, wearing the most sophisticated
After the battle at Dragon Gate Mountain, they suffered losses of nearly fifty thousand troops. They had to immediately report to their respective countries and then call Drakonia, begging for influential figures from Drakonia to intervene and stop the impending massacre.Otherwise, with a hundred-thousand-strong army, there was a high risk of complete annihilation.Although Drakonia intervened to prevent this crisis, it left the five nations with no room to maneuver.The decree was clear. The King of the North was responsible for border affairs.However, the intentions of the King of the North were crystal clear. Kill. Not a single soldier of the hundred thousand would be spared.Hence, the five nations reluctantly surrendered, leading to this six-party meeting to negotiate compensation. However, neither the King of the North nor a single soldier from the Northern Plains had appeared.These high-ranking individuals, usually at the top of their respective countries, were unwi
The entire conference room fell into an eerie silence. No one dared to even breathe too heavily, primarily because the killing intent emanating from Xayne was too intense. The blood on his body, a testament to the recent fierce battle, added to the tension.Even the general of Baicilica wore an expression of anger mixed with the pallor of fear. He had intended to use his momentum to suppress others, but unexpectedly, he found himself being suppressed by the King of the North.Seeing that no one spoke up, Xayne coldly spoke, "Since you all have nothing to say, let me state my demands. Firstly, withdraw your troops! Retreat twenty miles from the border. No less, or my Dragonbreakers Legion will charge directly into your capital cities."The military officers, their faces frozen, dared not speak. All eyes turned towards Ernesto and Ambrose, the two main commanders sitting in the front.The two looked at Xayne with extremely cold expressions, silently nodding in agreement. "Fine."X
Red Rose, accompanied by Deuce to Augustin, stood at the forefront of the battlefield, gazing at the end of the only road leading to Volendam."Attention, all troops! Prepare to march!"Unable to wait any longer, Red Rose waved, ready to lead the army forward.However, at this moment, at the end of the road, a jeep appeared with its back to the blood-red sunset, catching everyone's attention.On the front of the car, the flag of Drakonia fluttered proudly.Red Rose and the seven Dracarium Warriors were filled with excitement.Xayne was driving the jeep with Ace in the passenger seat, and they stopped directly in front of everyone."Commander!""Commander, are you okay?""Is Ace injured? Quick, take him to the hospital!"The crowd shouted with a mix of excitement and concern.Xayne jumped down from the car and exchanged fist bumps with several Northern Plains warriors.The next day, the news of what happened spread like wildfire within Drakonia, creating nationwide excitemen
Xayne soon arrived at the Denit Hotel and immediately saw the joyful trio inside.Bradley portrayed himself as attentive and gentle, meticulously serving dishes to Coco and making her happy. Serena wore a light smile on her face, her eyes filled with indulgence as she watched Coco's cheerful laughter.At that moment, Xayne entered with a chilling expression and said, "Coco."Coco turned her head, spotted Xayne, and immediately ran over, exclaiming, "Daddy, you're back!"Xayne bent down and lifted Coco into his arms. He wore a smile, and gently touched her nose, saying, "Yeah, daddy's back."Coco hugged Xayne's neck, kissed him on the cheek, and then happily said, "Daddy, Mr. Bradley treated Mommy and me to a big meal, and it was delicious!"Xayne smiled faintly, his gaze shifting to Serena, who seemed a bit uneasy. She stood up and said, "Xayne, you're back."Xayne nodded lightly, then looked at Bradley, his eyes emitting a cold gaze.Bradley, on the other hand, was extremely g
Bradley waved. "It’s fine. It’s just a meal. I can afford it, unlike some people.”His remark carried a hidden meaning, but Xayne did not mind it. Meanwhile, Serena smiled awkwardly and then glared at Coco, who was enjoying her ice cream."I'll teach you a lesson when we get home," Serena muttered.As the group prepared to leave, a limousine appeared at the hotel’s entrance. Three military jeeps were in front, and three more followed behind. Soldiers jumped out of the jeeps to secure the surroundings.Then, several bodyguards in black suits stood beside the limousine, and one of them opened the door. A middle-aged man in a gray checkered suit and someone else in military attire stepped out."Captain Archer, welcome to my restaurant. Please, come inside." The man in the suit warmly invited the man in military attire.Seven to eight soldiers escorted Archer and the man in the suit into the restaurant. The scene attracted the hotel guests, including Bradley and Xayne’s attention.U
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
