Upon hearing Xayne's words, everyone was stunned, their faces filled with astonishment. Had Xayne just threatened to break Sean's fingers?Darkness flashed through Sean’s eyes. He said coldly, "What did you just say?"Xayne's gaze was cold and sharp as he stared at Sean before him. "Touch me again, and I'll break your fingers."Sean burst into laughter. Then, he said mockingly, "You are bold, Xayne, but what gives you the power to say such things? I am Sean Kleening, the third son of the Kleening family! My status and position are much higher compared to a useless bodyguard who freeloads for a living.“Bringing about your downfall would be as easy as squashing an ant! Now, kneel and apologize to me for what you said. Otherwise, you'll regret it."Those around them immediately joined in rebuking."That's right! Kneel and apologize to Mr. Sean immediately!""Xayne is so arrogant! How dare he say such things to Mr. Sean. He's just a worthless dog who doesn't know his place.""How
He didn't even have to lift a finger. Xayne would surely be finished after offending Sean."Are you okay, Mr. Sean?" Bradley stepped forward, first examining Sean's injuries, then reprimanding Xayne. "How could you do this, Xayne?! You're so reckless! Do you know who Mr. Sean is within the capital? Do you understand the consequences of offending him?"Xayne, with an indifferent expression, replied, "I was just holding my ground, and I warned him. He brought this upon himself. If it were in the past, he'd be a corpse by now."The dignity of the Supreme Commander of the Northern Plains could not be tarnished. An heir of the Kleening family daring to challenge the might of the Supreme Commander was a clear case of not knowing one's place. If this were in the past, the Kleenings would have disappeared from the territorial boundaries.Hearing this, the crowd condemned Xayne's arrogance and audacity.Sean's expression turned dark. Clutching his bent finger, he glared at Xayne, growling,
Seeing Xayne approach him with a menacing expression, Sean felt a chill down his spine. He stared at Xayne with a mix of anger and fear, saying, "Wh-What do you want? If you dare to harm me any further, everyone you love will die!"At the sight of the terrifying Xayne, everyone anxiously started backing away, pushing Sean to the forefront. Sean became dumbfounded. He looked back at his friends—who were even more eager to avoid confrontation than himself—and was about to scold them. However, Xayne grabbed him by the collar and lifted him off the floor."Ugh… Let go..." Sean felt his airway being tightly constricted and struggled to breathe. He tried to break free from Xayne's grip.The others witnessing this scene were extremely surprised by Xayne's strength.“I’m warning you, Mr. Sean, don't push your luck. You will not do anything to harm my wife or my family. Otherwise, you'll die a miserable death. Not only you but the precious family behind you will also face destruction. Und
The dozen wealthy heirs and heiress on the yacht, along with the service staff, were all shocked and in utter panic.The captain immediately stepped forward, shouting, "Oh no! Pirates! Everyone, don’t fight back!""What? Pirates?!""Oh my God! How did we encounter pirates?!""We're done for! Are we going to die out at sea? I'm still young! I haven't even gotten married yet!"The rich heirs, never having witnessed such a scene, were instantly terrified, wailing and shouting.Serena was extremely frightened. She gripped Xayne’s arm and said, "What do we do? How did we encounter pirates..."Xayne frowned, his gaze ice-cold. "Don't worry. Everything will be fine."At this moment, a dozen gun-wielding pirates boarded the yacht. They had dark skin, spoke incomprehensibly, and herded everyone onto the deck.The leader, a burly man in his thirties with scars on his face, fiercely shouted, "Greetings, everyone! Welcome to our territory." He then fired several shots into the sky, causin
In the blink of an eye, Xayne took down the pirates who wielded guns. They didn't even have time to react before they were riddled with bullets, falling into pools of their own blood.The remaining pirates with machetes instantly dropped their weapons. They knelt on the ground and clutched their heads. The sudden change left everyone stunned.Xayne swiftly collected all the pirates’ weapons and tossed them to the yacht's captain and the others. Then, he said, "Stay here. Someone will come to assist you shortly."With that, Xayne turned and charged toward the cabin. Inside, Bradley and Sean were smirking, awaiting the outcome outside."Hahaha! Did you hear that, Mr. Sean? There's definitely a fight going on outside!" Bradley sneered. "In no time, Serena will undoubtedly be brought in. You can then enjoy her right here."Sean’s face flushed. He could barely contain his excitement at the thought of having a beauty like Serena soon.Suddenly, an icy, death-like voice echoed from the
Bradley desperately shook his head. "What plan? I don't understand a word you're saying, Xayne. You’re absolutely lawless! You’re hurting people and even injured Mr. Sean!"Xayne violently slapped Bradley, knocking out several teeth and causing blood to gush from his mouth."I'll ask again. Was this your plan?" Xayne asked in a cold voice."No!" Bradley knew that admitting to it would mean his end.Xayne sneered and went to drag in one of the pirates. He pointed the gun at the pirate's head and asked, "Who sent you?"The pirate burst into tears, pleading, "I-It was Jim who led us here. Please don't kill me. I'm just trying to make a living. I haven't done anything evil. I just came to bolster the gang’s numbers…”"Is Jim on this yacht?" Xayne asked.The pirate nodded frantically. "He was… But you killed him..."Xayne was stunned, thinking, 'Seriously? How unlucky is that?'Bradley, who was covered in cold sweat, was relieved that Jim had been killed. There was no evidence, and
In the bustling Venzor port at noon, a large luxury cruise ship was slowly docking. This private yacht was owned by the Kleenings and adorned with a big, red "Kleening" logo on its hull.At the forefront of the deck, a man dressed in a white suit gazed at the modern skyscrapers in the distance. His eyes revealed a faint gleam of determination. This man was none other than Sean, the third son of the Kleening family, who had been on the yacht two days ago.After two days, the icy temperament emanating from him had become more apparent. His eyes were glowering, containing a simmering anger."I'm back, and this time, I will make you pay, Xayne," Sean uttered. His tone was calm, but his words exuded a palpable killing intent.Behind him stood an older gentleman in a gray suit. He possessed white eyebrows and had a lean face and slightly squinted eyes. He appeared benevolent, but the aura surrounding him made him seem formidable."Mr. Sean, your father instructed you not to act reckless
Sean sat in the limousine Bradley had arranged for, keeping a cold expression from start to finish."Mr. Sean, how do you plan to acquire the Swift Group?" Bradley tentatively asked.Sean, who was looking out of the car window, turned to Bradley with a smirk. He said, "You seem to be in a hurry, Mr. Bradley.”Bradley wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead, awkwardly explaining, "You've misunderstood, Mr. Sean. I'm just considering your interests. If you successfully acquire the Swift Group, Serena will naturally become your forbidden fruit. We should prepare for any unexpected situations.”Sean glanced at Bradley and said, "Head to the Swift Group.""Okay," Bradley replied.…Sean stepped out of the limousine, adjusted his suit, and looked up at the Swift Group building with a cold smile. Behind him stood Joshua, Bradley, and others.The security guards at the entrance of the Swift Group hurriedly nodded and bowed as they approached. Bradley held out his hands, inviting Sean
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
