‘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
The Kleening family was in turmoil, but no one knew about the storm that was brewing beneath the torrential rain that engulfed the city.The Kleenings mobilized several groups of people that very night. Some went to Shalholm, while others retrieved the critically injured and unconscious Sean from the airport and transported him to the military hospital.William braced the cold rain and went to Howsworth Mountain. He sought out the famous Lance, pleading with him to fix Sean.…Serena could barely sleep that night. In her dreams, she saw Sean's sinister face—his lecherous grin—as he lunged toward her. She woke up with a jolt several times.When she arose in the morning, she found Xayne exercising on the balcony. He was wearing only a pair of shorts, showing off his well-proportioned upper body and robust muscles. However, there were numerous gunshot and knife wounds on his body.Gazing at Xayne's sweaty, Serena got lost in thought, her mind wandering to places unknown. She then sh
Delwyn's confidence surged as he witnessed the effectiveness of his formation. Xayne's formidable Ravenclaw dagger had been effortlessly repelled, leaving Delwyn feeling invincible.No wonder the Christy family elders always stressed the importance of mastering their First formations. The Christy family's prominence wasn't solely due to their role as guardians of the First Dragon's tomb. Their mastery of ancient formations, some passed down from the First Dragon, was unparalleled, formidable enough to command respect even from the Five Great Mountains.Delwyn laughed triumphantly. The thrill of holding his ground against a Quin-Divine Commander filled him with elation. He had overestimated Xayne.Meanwhile, Xayne retrieved the Ravenclaw dagger, noting an unusual and elusive force surrounding it. Even he couldn't fully grasp its nature. As the dagger's momentum forced him back several steps, Xayne steadied himself, his eyes narrowing."Feeling humbled now, Xayne?" Delwyn smirked, hi
"You're courting death!" Xayne's words had barely landed when a figure rushed forward, grabbing his arm tightly."Mr. Xayne! Please, calm down! This might all just be a misunderstanding. You can't start a fight here, the consequences would be unimaginable!" Luther's face had turned pale with fear.Both men, Xayne and Delwyn were far beyond what he could handle. If anything happened to either of them in Folksberg, it would spell the end of his political career and likely his freedom."Misunderstanding?" Xayne's cold laughter echoed in the room as he pointed at Delwyn. "Using my name to scam and extort people was bad enough. Forcing women into unspeakable situations? If that's a 'misunderstanding,' then what isn't?"As he finished speaking, a powerful surge of energy erupted from Xayne, his aura soaring to its peak, a Quin-Divine Commander's aura, overwhelming and unstoppable. The force shook Luther's grip loose, leaving him stumbling back in shock.Luther took one look at Xayne's i
Xayne stepped into the suite with Yanny close behind, drawing the attention of everyone in the room.A collective gasp rippled through the crowd. The two men, Xayne and the imposter looked nearly identical.Even Yanny froze, her eyes darting between them.Before, when they weren't side by side, their resemblance had been noticeable but not striking. Now, face-to-face, their shared aura and presence were unmistakable.The difference was that Delwyn carried himself with an arrogant, almost oppressive authority as if the world were beneath him. In contrast, Xayne exuded a calm yet commanding energy, one rooted in confidence rather than superiority."What is going on here?" Luther stammered, clutching his wine glass.Delwyn was momentarily stunned to see Xayne, but he quickly regained his composure."Xayne!" he sneered.The charade was over. Delwyn saw no point in pretending anymore as he took a sip of red wine from his wine glass and an arrogant expression appeared on his face. Tr
"In Warren International Hotel. But, young man, we appreciate your kindness but you can't just throw your life away!" Channy turned toward Xayne, his face full of worry.Beside him, Renny chimed in, her voice urgent. "Serena is pregnant! If something happens to you, how am I supposed to explain it to her?""I've told you. I'm Xayne too!" Xayne's tone was firm, his expression unyielding.What he left unsaid, however, was the truth: the so-called "Xayne" they'd met before was a fraud.The problem was that the Riller family had all seen Delwyn. Compared to Xayne, Delwyn carried himself with authority and charisma far superior to Xayne.No one believed that this seemingly ordinary young man before them was the legendary King of the North."Renny, take me there," Xayne ordered, casting a glance at the bedridden Yanny. Seeing that she was no longer in danger, he turned back to Renny."I..." Renny hesitated, unsure.Before she could decide, Yanny struggled to sit up on her bed. Her vo
Without wasting a second, he led a small group of servants up to the second floor at a brisk pace."Miss Yanny! Please open the door!" Loud, frantic knocks echoed from upstairs."Sir, the door to Miss Yanny's room won't open!" the butler called down, his forehead glistening with sweat as he rushed back downstairs, his breathing uneven."Then what are you all standing around for? Break the door open!" Channy's voice cracked with panic, his face flushed red with desperation. He stomped his foot and beat his chest, his heart filled with regret. He loved Renny and Yanny very much. The words he'd spoken earlier were out of desperation and now felt like a blade twisting in his gut. If anything happened to his granddaughter, he'd never forgive himself.Xayne didn't wait for anyone else to react. He stormed up the stairs, his movements sharp and purposeful. Pushing past the Riller family's servants, he raised his leg and delivered a powerful kick to the door. It burst open with a loud cr
Before the words were even finished, Xayne had already pushed open the car door and stepped out. Without hesitation, he brushed past the servants at the entrance and led Renny straight into the estate.The moment they walked in, they heard Channy pounding his chest in frustration, his voice thundering as he pointed toward the second floor. "Even if you have no regard for family, can you bear to see so many people dragged down with you?"Around him, more than a dozen servants stood in silence, heads bowed, not daring to make a sound. Two middle-aged men stood before Channy like chastised schoolchildren, their posture rigid, their faces full of unease.When Channy spotted Renny, his face twisted with a mix of surprise and anger. He barely spared a glance at Xayne. After all, in his opinion, Xayne was too ordinary, so ordinary that he didn't even deserve a second look."Renny?" Channy frowned deeply. "You're back just in time. Go upstairs and talk some sense into your sister. If she r
"Miss Riller, every move you make is under my watch. I even know when you left for Folksworth and when you came back. I have detailed reports here!" Zenn smirked as he pulled out his phone, scrolling through text messages before waving the screen in front of Renny's face."Move your car. I'm in a hurry!" Xayne said coldly, his tone sharp and unwavering.Zenn looked Xayne up and down, sneering. "Who the hell do you think you are? I'm here on Mr. Xayne's orders to wait for her. If you ruin his plans, can you bear the consequences?"As Renny had suspected, if he couldn't have her, he'd make sure no one else could either.When Zenn was having a fancy dinner with Delwyn earlier, he had spilled every detail about her. He praised the Riller sisters, calling them goddesses, but admitted that Renny was far prettier than her sister, Yanny. He mentioned how she'd gone to Folksworth and wasn't sure when she'd return.The moment Delwyn decided to send someone to drag her back to Folksberg, Zen
Serena noticed Renny's sudden change in expression and asked curiously, "What's wrong?""Nothing!" Renny's voice trembled as she swallowed hard, her small hands shaking as she quickly put her phone away. But no matter how she tried, she couldn't hide the panic in her eyes."Renny, what's going on? Do you still see me as your friend?" Serena pressed, her eyes narrowing with concern.Renny's unease didn't escape Serena's sharp gaze. Renny glanced at Serena and Xayne, her face full of hesitation. "It's about someone with the last name Xavier. He's powerful, and I don't want to drag you two into it!""What?" Serena's brow frowned.Xayne's eyes flickered with interest. He hadn't been paying attention initially, but hearing the mention of the name "Xavier" brought a subtle shift to his gaze. "Someone with the last name Xavier? Renny, can you tell me what's going on?"After a long moment of hesitation, Renny finally pulled out her phone and handed it to Xayne showing the farewell messag
Channy had stood right behind Luther, and when he heard those words, his heart sank hard. Both his granddaughters had been as stubborn as they came, but if Yanny Riller had decided to stand her ground, it would have spelled big trouble for the Riller family. This hadn't been the same as crossing the Scallow or Armen families. Xayne's influence in Drakonia had been untouchable at that time.Watching Luther bow and scrape as he ushered Xayne into the car, Channy pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Too bad he didn't know that this so-called Xayne was nothing but a fraud."Yanny, you heard what Mr. Xayne just said, didn't you? You see what I mean, right?" Channy asked.Yanny bit her lip hard, her eyes filling with tears. Her gaze was firm as she looked straight at her grandfather. Seeing that look, Channy's heart skipped a beat. He quickly grabbed Yanny's arm and guided her into the car. If Xayne saw that look of defiance on Yanny's face, it'd be the en
