Grover Maddon was the leader of the Untamed Tigers. He had quite a reputation in Fulham, known for his cruel methods. He was also the most powerful individual within the Blue Dragon Society.Grover single-handedly massacred dozens with just a kitchen knife when he joined forces with Maximilian. The incident shook all of Fulham. His actions made him a core figure in the Blue Dragon Society.Moreover, his thoughts were intricate, not as rough as he appeared on the surface. Within Fulham’s underground forces, his prestige was only second to Maximilian. Many claimed that Glover might take the top position in the Blue Dragon Society after Maximilian.Grover stood at the hotel entrance as he scanned the area. He then roared, “Mr. Maximilian said no one can leave Langham Hotel! This hotel will be your battlefield today. Enter, gather everyone, and wait for my following command!”Immediately after, a group of burly men with machetes charged into the hotel, causing chaos inside. The thugs l
“Understood, Mr. Maximilian,” Grover replied. “Untamed Tigers, listen up! Tear this hotel apart and find a guy named Xayne. You heard the rest of Mr. Maximilian’s orders.”Maximilian smirked sinisterly. He could not afford to fail in a small place like Venzor, especially since he was the president of the Blue Dragon Society. If Maximilian failed, he could not expand his market and influence here. He would also become a laughingstock to Donovan.At that moment, a figure appeared on one side of the hall. A crisp voice echoed, “Mr. Maximilian, it seems you haven’t learned your lesson.”Xayne was having a good conversation with Ariana and was about to take her home when he heard the commotion in the lobby. He was furious when he saw the injured staff and guests. It was one thing to deal with him, but harming innocent people was a different story.Upon hearing the person’s words, Maximilian and Grover looked over. A piercing gaze shot through them, causing them to feel uneasy. Xayne sto
Everyone gasped in terror. They did not even see Xayne move, yet someone on their side had already fallen.Meanwhile, Grover trembled. As a kickboxer, he understood the terrifying force behind Xayne’s strike. The former knew he and his men might have encountered a formidable opponent today.‘That was a flying needle.’Soon after, the Untamed Tigers noticed Xayne’s weapon. It turned out to be a small, thin needle.“You’re arrogant, kid! How dare you kill our men. You're dead meat!" After a brief moment of shock, the Untamed Tigers grew outraged. They raised their machetes and steel rods, ready to charge and avenge their fallen comrade.“Stop!”Suddenly, Maximillian shouted, causing the Untamed Tigers to halt. However, the burning rage in their eyes was still evident. Maximilian stared at Xayne and chuckled confidently.The former did not care about losing a few underlings. He just needed the Blue Dragon Society’s reputation to remain intact, after all.Maximilian said coldly,
After launching a barrage of attacks, Grover grew tired. Unfortunately for him, not a single punch or kick had landed.“Tired?” Xayne asked with a faint smile.“You’re courting death, kid! Now die!” Grover was furious. His frustration from failing to land a single attack made him lose his composure. He swung his right fist with thunderous force.However, Xayne disappeared from where he stood. Immediately after, Grover flew backward like a bouncing ball. Xayne appeared behind Grover and kicked him into the opposite side of the hall.Grover, the undefeated master of the Untamed Tigers, lay sprawled on the ground under Xayne’s kick. The entire lobby fell silent instantly. The elite members of the Untamed Tigers did not expect such an outcome.After all, Grover was their master and an elite of the Blue Dragon Society. Things were not going well for him, which shocked everyone.Grover could only lie on the ground and endure the pain. It seemed Xayne had broken his spine. Grover could
“Go to hell!” Maximilian was not just an empty vessel. After all, he had been around for many years, so many knew about his ruthless methods. He aimed the machete at Xayne’s head, intending to kill him instantly.Still, Xayne remained unfazed. He frowned as he glanced at Maximilian. Xayne chuckled, saying, “Since you’re already here, let’s settle this. Fulham’s underground forces need a change in leadership. Why would a puny Fulham underground leader dare to act tough in Venzor?”Xayne did not dodge the machete. Instead, he shot forward and executed a mid-air kick that tore through Maximilian’s body. His figure came to an abrupt halt in mid-air, followed by an arc-like trajectory as he flew backward.Maximilian felt an indistinct force through his abdomen, causing unbearable pain. He tumbled into the Untamed Tigers, knocking several of them down before finally stopping. He lay on the ground as his subordinates rushed over to help him up.Maximilian was no longer as ferocious as bef
Maximilian gritted his teeth to endure the intense pain, yelling, “Whoever kills him will be the next president of the Blue Dragon Society!”Xayne grabbed a machete and hurled it toward Maximilian. With a swoosh, it severed Maximilian’s hand from the wrist. Blood splattered all over as his hand lay on the ground with its fingers twitching. The agony nearly caused him to pass out.“How dare you babble at a time like this.” Xayne glanced at Maximilian coldly. “If you want me dead, prepare to face death yourselves.”Xayne showed no fear as he stood alone against dozens of Untamed Tigers. He advanced, forcing them to retreat toward the door. Xayne asked loudly, “How much longer, Ms. Ariana?!”“Soon.” Ariana was just behind Xayne, dazed by his brutality. As expected, police sirens wailed outside the hotel as dozens of police cars surrounded the area.“We’ve got you all surrounded! Surrender now!” The officers announced their warnings. Then, armed policemen burst onto the scene and arre
“A yacht party, huh? We appreciate the offer, but we’ll pass,” Xayne replied indifferently.Serena echoed, “Xayne and I won’t be going.”Bradley frowned but quickly smiled and said, “Serena, it’s a gathering I specially arranged. Young elites from prominent families and major corporations from Venzor will be there. It’ll benefit your business significantly. Are you sure you won’t reconsider?”Serena seemed hesitant since she did not like attending such events. Still, expanding her network might be a good choice. She glanced at Xayne hopefully, so the latter frowned slightly and said, “Fine, I’ll go with you.”Bradley’s eyes showed a hint of satisfaction, but he concealed it from Serena. He then stood up and said, “Okay then, I’ll head home for now. See you at the dock at seven.”When he left, Serena stood up and approached Xayne somewhat embarrassedly. She took his hand and said, “I’m sorry, honey. I promise I won’t have any contact with Bradley after this. Is that okay?”Xayne l
Bradley’s expression darkened when he noticed Serena’s actions.“All right, let’s go. I want to introduce you to everyone,” Bradley said as he led Serena and Xayne to the wealthy heirs and heiresses. “Everyone, this is Serena and Xayne.”Bradley introduced the couple with his hands casually in his pockets. The group glanced at Xayne and Serena up and down with varied expressions. Their gazes were strange, making the atmosphere somewhat awkward.However, the young men were pretty enthusiastic toward Serena.“Hello, Ms. Serena, I’m Barclay Pascal. My dad is Edwin Pascal, the chairman of Pascal Group.”“I’m Jake Keller. I own a chain of luxury car modification shops.”“I’m Leroy Smith. I dabble in financial investments and stocks.”…Some even handed out business cards and left their contact information as they introduced themselves to Serena. Of course, her beauty attracted them. After all, they had never met such a stunning woman before.Serena exuded a celebrity-like aura, loo
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
