Xayne stopped in the middle of the street, facing five motorcycles on the opposite side. Five men dressed in black attire revved their bikes, creating a roaring sound. Xayne coldly observed them, a sharp killing intent emanating from him. He locked eyes with the five men and saw the cold smirk beneath their helmets.The two parties were only about ten meters apart—a mere instant for motorcycles. Two riders revved their bikes and charged at Xayne, drawing machetes from their sides and aiming them at Xayne's head.With a chilling gaze, Xayne released the brakes of his bike. He sped toward the approaching duo, and in a split second, they swung their blades. Xayne lifted the front of his bike. The machetes struck the motorcycle's body, sending out sparks.He then pressed the bike downward and launched himself into the air. With a kick, he sent the rider on the right flying off their bike.Xayne then skillfully landed back on his motorcycle and did a quick drift to right himself. Behind
‘Why is this man's gaze so terrifying?!’ The motorcycle guy who witnessed this horrifying gaze was momentarily stunned. It was reminiscent of the devil.He then snapped back to reality and roared, "You're seeking death!" He charged forward, aiming for Xayne's face with a powerful punch.Xayne snorted coldly and showed no mercy. He counterattacked, lifting his hand and grabbing the motorcycle guy's fist. Then, with a swift motion, he kicked the guy in the chest.Bang! The motorcycle guy was sent flying five meters away, crashing into a row of abandoned cars. The impact caused the cars to collapse on top of him, burying him under.The remaining four assassins became more cautious after witnessing Xayne's swift and lethal counter. Xayne clenched his fists, his eyes emanating a cold gleam. "Tell me, who's pulling the strings here?""I’ll admit that you are skilled, but we have our rules. If you want to know, you’ll have to pry it out of our mouths." The man with sunglasses didn't
Sean had orchestrated all this. He wanted to take advantage of her. Gripping Serena's chin greedily, Sean sneered. He had never felt so excited before. Serena’s face was exquisite, her aura and charm were enchanting, and her devilish figure stimulated his desires."Serena, you're the woman I desire. No woman I've set my eyes on has ever slipped through my fingers. After today, you'll be mine—Sean Kleening's woman. You can live carefree as the wealthy Mrs. Sean Kleening. The Swift Group will become the top interior design company in this city. Doesn't that sound good?"Serena pushed Sean away, frowning. "I’m warning you, Sean. You’re in Shalholm, not the capital. What you're doing is illegal!"Sean stood up, sneering. He opened his arms and said, "Illegal? Tell me, who will know what you and I are doing in this hotel suite? Even if someone finds out, who would dare to speak up? By then, the deed will be done, and there will be nothing you can do about it!”Serena became increasing
The man in sunglasses finally grasped the meaning of death. He had never been so scared in his life, and his hands couldn't stop trembling. This mission was likely to fail."Who the hell are you?" the man asked, standing up and gripping his dagger tightly, ready to launch an assault at any moment.Xayne sneered and asked, "Didn't your master tell you who I am?""Arrogant bastard! Go to hell!" The man pushed off the ground and rapidly charged forward. The dagger in his hand went straight for Xayne's chest.Xayne narrowed his eyes. This man’s strength was not to be underestimated, but everything was futile. Xayne sidestepped and kneed the man in the chest. The sound of broken ribs echoed.The man couldn’t see how Xayne had avoided his rapid attack. It was his signature move that had made countless people perish. Yet, today, it failed.The man felt a thunderous force impacting his chest. At least three of his ribs were broken, and it wasn't over yet.Xayne gripped the man by the ne
In a presidential suite of Warren International Hotel, Sean held a piece of torn fabric from Serena's dress. He sniffed it, revealing a lascivious smile. "Hehe. Just surrender to me, Serena. I'll treat you well,” he purred.Serena huddled in the corner, holding a table lamp in her hands. Her whole body was exposed, and tears were streaming down her face. "Get away! Don't come near me!" she yelled, "Help! Help!”But in the vast suite, apart from her cries and Sean's lecherous laughter, there were no other sounds.Serena helplessly watched as Sean approached. She felt despair and wished someone would save her at this moment.Sean grinned and pounced on Serena. He had been waiting for this moment for far too long.At the last moment, Serena shouted in despair, "Xayne!"Bam, bam, bam! The room echoed with violent noises. With her eyes tightly closed, Serena felt that Sean's weight on her seemed to disappear. She opened her eyes and saw a tall and powerful figure standing befo
Clang! Sean locked eyes with Xayne, and he jolted as if struck by lightning. He sensed a flood of murderous intent in Xayne’s eyes, momentarily leaving him dazed.Xayne wasted no words. He rose and kicked Sean in the chest, pinning him to the ground. The force shattered the floor tiles beneath them."Ahh!" Sean let out a piercing scream as if a truck had crashed into his chest.“L-Let me go! You’re making an enemy of the Kleenings! They won't let you get away with this!" Sean's face turned purple from the excruciating pain. He clutched the foot pressing down on him, struggling to breathe."I don’t care if the Kleenings become my enemy. I'll destroy whoever dares to attack my woman," Xayne said in a low and ominous tone, "I don't mind killing you even."Sean trembled as he saw the imminent threat of death in Xayne's icy gaze. It was so vivid that it seemed a mere snap of the fingers would end him. He regretted not heeding Joshua's advice not to lay hands on Xayne. He wished he co
The floor and walls of the suite were soaked in blood, making for a gruesome scene. Xayne walked to the bedside and picked Serena up, carrying her out of the suite. Completely drained of strength, she simply nestled quietly against Xayne's broad chest."Honey, I promise this won't ever happen again. Don't worry," Xayne declared with determination as he brought her out of the hotel.Xayne then flagged down a cab and went to another hotel, where he got a room. Serena then soaked in a hot bath, vigorously trying to scrub away at her body. When she emerged from the bathroom, Xayne brought over a cup of steaming calming tea."Here, drink," he said."Thank you," Serena replied, sitting down, her hair still dripping.She took a few sips, then slumped onto the couch. She silently stared out of the window. Xayne understood she had a lot on her mind, considering what she had just been through. It wasn't easy to overcome such an ordeal in a short time."Thank you." Serena’s soft and quiet
The tone from the other end of the phone was calm."Sir, Mr. Sean…might be beyond saving," Joshua answered truthfully, sweat dripping down his forehead under the tremendous pressure.Silence came from the other end of the line. Losing the family heir was no trivial matter. It concerned the very legacy of the Kleening family."Find out who did it and kill them!" declared the voice on the other end with furious anger. The voice then added, "Bring Sean back now. I'll go find Dr. Lance.""Yes, sir," Joshua responded.He hung up the phone and wiped away his cold sweat. His employee, William Kleening, had given the order, and all he had to do was execute it.…Meanwhile, in the bustling international metropolis of the capital, a Lincoln Navigator sped down the highway back to the capital. In the rear seat of the car, a man dressed in a branded suit gazed expressionlessly at the scene outside the window. No one could discern the thoughts behind this man’s dark eyes.At this moment, hi
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
