Jordan turned around, his face darkening, and asked, "Who are you two?"Ethan quickly stood up and bowed. He went to shake hands with Jordan, saying, "Hello, Mr. Jordan. I'm Ethan, the heir of the Brown Corporation."The guy in front of him was Jordan Shud, the son of the powerful Shud family and the general manager of the Shud Group. In Shalholm, the Shuds held prominent status, much stronger than the Browns.Jordan frowned. "The heir of the Brown Corporation? Sorry, I don't recognize you. I'm currently entertaining an esteemed guest. If you have any questions, you can consult the other staff."With that, Jordan respectfully invited Xayne into the VIP reception room.Ethan was shocked to see Jordan ignore him and leave with Xayne. ‘Wh-What's the hell? That’s Jordan Shud, yet he's treating Xayne with such deference. Just who the hell is Xayne?'The anxious Sophia approached him and asked, "What’s going on, honey? Who is this Xayne, and how did he suddenly become so rich?"Ethan
Eric sat on the chair, his expression solemn and unpleasant. Tim also looked grim. They had no idea how this had happened.On the side, Tony and Violet wore expressions of doubt. Violet's mind was already scheming various thoughts."Haha! I knew my son-in-law wasn’t an ordinary person!" She laughed heartily, stood up, and pulled Tony to leave.She said, "Why are we just sitting around? Let’s find Serena and get her to allocate some rooms for us. Emperor Villa is the best villa in all of Shalholm. Living there would be so comfortable and prestigious."After Violet left with Tony, Tim and others were left standing in the courtyard, staring at each other."No wonder Serena chose to leave the Swifts. Has she already paved the way for herself?!" Tim shouted in anger.A villa worth 1.5 billion was more than all of the Swifts’ assets combined."Whatever the case, we need to find out where Xayne got so much money from," Eric said in a deep voice.Tim scowled. "Do you think it could be
The crowd turned to look, only to see Xayne striding in.With an unpleasant expression, Tim said, "I was asking for Serena's opinion. What does it have to do with you?""That's right. Don't think too highly of yourself, Xayne," Sophia coldly added.Violet immediately stood up, excitedly rushed over, and pulled Xayne toward the couch where they were seated. She arrogantly said to Tim and others, "How is it not related to him? Xayne is the one who bought the villa. Whether you can move in or not is entirely up to him."This sentence made Tim's family's faces instantly darken.At this moment, Violet turned to Xayne excitedly and said, "My dear Xayne, I heard that you bought the Emperor Villa."This question made everyone excited—especially Serena, who didn’t fully understand what was happening."Xayne, my mom said you bought a villa worth 1.5 billion. Is that true?" Serena asked, her heart pounding. She didn't know where he had gotten so much money."Tell us, Xayne. Did you buy it
Now, all eyes were eagerly fixed on Xayne. However, Xayne waved grandly and chased them all out. From the door, Violet anxiously shouted, "Serena! We're your parents! How can you not let us live there?!""Yeah, Serena. At least try to persuade Xayne…" Royce added.Hearing the commotion outside, Serena looked at Xayne with a conflicted expression and asked, "Am I doing the right thing?”Xayne shrugged and said, "I support whatever decision you make. The Swifts need to face some difficulties to understand certain principles. Some people are not as they appear."Hearing this, Serena chuckled. "Did you really buy Emperor Villa?""Yeah." Xayne nodded.Serena looked concerned. "Isn't it too expensive?""Don't worry. After we have our wedding, you will be the madam of that villa. It's just a little money, nothing much," Xayne reassured.With a slight frown, Serena said, "It sounds like you have a lot of money."Xayne smiled without saying anything.Meanwhile, Tim's family were b
Phil descended from the plane, sweeping his gaze over the Kleenings before fixing his eyes on William.William immediately greeted him, saying, "Welcome home, Phil. Your presence has been missed." He opened his arms and embraced Phil.Phil didn't refuse the hug, and after they separated, he asked, "How's Sean?"William's expression darkened. "He's been emasculated. Even Dr. Lance, the old miracle doctor, couldn't help him."Phil's eyes flashed with intense hatred when he heard this.William then added, "Let's go home."After returning to the Kleening residence, Phil frowned after understanding the situation. He asked, "Have you dispatched the Grand Master Warriors to Shalholm?"William nodded. "Yes, all three of them. Xayne won’t escape them. You don’t have to lift a finger. Just sit back and let those who covet our family know that we have a Legend Warrior watching over."Phil's face remained indifferent as he nodded. "So be it. I won't intervene. I won't stay long this time,
The solid and forceful punch flew toward Xayne. However, what was even more shocking was that Xayne also raised his fist, colliding with the man’s attack head-on.Crack! The sound of bones breaking echoed, resounding through the surroundings. The Grand Master Warrior was astonished and terrified. He staggered back several steps, looking down at his shattered fist in disbelief."Who the hell are you?!" he asked coldly.The man was astonished that his opponent's punch had managed to shatter his fist. The remaining two Grand Master Warriors swiftly rushed forward with icy expressions upon seeing their comrade’s defeat. "You’re no ordinary kid," the leading Grand Master Warrior said.Under their gaze, Xayne calmly smiled and said, "Who I am doesn't matter. What matters is that you shouldn't be here, especially when you're trying to kill my wife and daughter." "Such arrogance. Let's see what kind of strength you have to speak to us that way!" The man in the black robe sudden
However, a cracking sound echoed a moment later. Xayne calmly grabbed the opponent's ankle. Then, with a firm squeeze, he crushed the Grand Master Warrior's foot bones. A sharp and miserable scream resounded through the air. The middle-aged man paled. He quickly hopped backward on one leg, creating distance from Xayne. Sweat poured down his forehead as he looked at his broken right leg, feeling both horrified and terrified.Who the hell was this young man? How did he possess such strength? He managed to crush the right leg of a Grand Master Warrior with just his hand. Such strength must belong to a Legend Warrior.At that moment, all the middle-aged man could think about was escaping. Fighting with a Legend Warrior was akin to seeking death. He panicked, turned around, and wanted to run. However, a silver light flashed, and the Ravenclaw Dagger in Xayne's hand once again shot out, piercing through the Grand Master Warrior’s left knee. The middle-aged man instantly fell to the
An hour later, a jeep pulled up at the Kleening residence and screeched to a sudden halt.Xayne and Deuce quickly jumped out of the car, cocking an eyebrow as they observed the immensely luxurious manor before them. It boasted typical garden architecture.Xayne sneered, taking confident steps forward. However, several black-suited bodyguards quickly approached, blocking their way.The guards growled, "Who are you? Intruding into the Kleening residence at night is a capital offense. Leave, now."Xayne's eyes narrowed as he coldly replied, "I'm here to see the head of the Kleening family. Tell him I've come to take his life."The guards drew pistols from their waists, shouting, "How dare you! Take them down!" They charged at Xayne and Deuce.However, a black figure flashed. Deuce moved swiftly, sending several figures flying and crashing into the vermilion gates of the manor. With a loud bang, the gates collapsed.On the ground, the guards were out cold, blood streaming from their
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
