This caused everyone in the backyard to gasp.William, who was the most agitated, scolded, "You’re too audacious! How dare you disrespect our family's Legend Warrior! You're asking for death!"Just as he finished speaking, William saw a flash of darkness before him. He realized that Deuce had somehow appeared before him, grabbing his neck with one hand and lifting him off the ground.With an ice-cold expression, Deuce said, "How dare you disrespect my commander? Are you asking for death?"William was stunned, completely unable to catch his breath. A feeling of impending death lingered in his mind.Meanwhile, Phil acted as soon as Deuce made his move. However, as soon as Phil got up, Deuce had already lifted William by the neck. Deuce's speed was horrifying. The person before him was even stronger than himself.Phil was a Legend Warrior. At the very least, the opponent had to be better than a Celestial Warrior to approach him so quickly right under his nose.At that moment, Phil'
Phil knelt on the ground, trembling all over. He couldn't fathom that the person standing before him was the Supreme Commander of the Northern Plains. Not long ago, this man had single-handedly slaughtered nine Legend Warriors and annihilated fifty thousand soldiers from five different nations. Phil could not imagine meeting such an extraordinary figure.Xayne coldly gazed down at the kneeling Phil and said sternly, "As a lieutenant general and a Legend Warrior, how dare you involve yourself in worldly affairs? And attempting to use your status to threaten me? If I weren't the King of the North today, wouldn't I already be dead?""N-No! I won't dare! I realize my mistake. I beg for your forgiveness, sir." Phil quickly lowered his head even further.Xayne snorted, then turned to the now stupefied William. Deuce released William, and the latter’s knees gave way as he knelt on the ground. He looked thoroughly shocked."Y-You’re the King of the North?" William used up all his strengt
People were discussing the Kleening family's situation on every corner of the street."What the heck?! Seriously? The Kleenings suddenly upped and left the city?""That's right. I heard they offended some mysterious big shot, and all their assets were confiscated overnight. All the Kleenings have left the city.""Don’t the Kleenings have a Legend Warrior watching over them? How could they have ended up this way?""Heh, the Legend Warrior? I heard that the Supreme Black Dragon demoted him and transferred him away from the South Canyon frontline.”…For a moment, the entire city was abuzz with the news. The information about the Kleenings naturally reached Shalholm and the ears of the Swifts.Early in the morning, Sophia rushed into Tim's office with an excited expression. "Dad! Dad! I have great news. Fantastic news, in fact!""What is it? We’re in an office. Keep it down!" Tim frowned."It's excellent news, and it’s spreading all over Shalholm as we speak. The Kleenings offend
At that moment, Sophia's face instantly changed. 'Serena?! She wants to have her wedding at the Imperial Hotel?!'The Imperial Hotel was the top-ranked seven-star hotel in Shalholm. If it weren’t because it was too expensive and required one to have a special membership to book the place, Sophia's wedding would have long been arranged at the Imperial Hotel.And Serena dared to have her wedding there.Sophia became fed up. She angrily rushed across the road, stood before Serena, and condescendingly mocked, "I never expected you to have a wedding, Serena. Did you deliberately plan it across from mine? Are you trying to provoke me?"Serena, still somewhat bewildered, quickly explained, "Sophia... I-I didn't know it would be here. Xayne just told us where to go.""Xayne?!" Sophia sneered. "This is ridiculous! Open your eyes wide and take a good look, Serene. This is the Imperial Hotel, the most expensive hotel in all of Shalholm. You think loser Xayne has the qualifications to arrange
A red carpet adorned with gold thread rolled out before everyone. Simultaneously, a massive wedding poster of the deeply in love Serena and Xayne descended from the top of the building, decorating the entire face of the ten-story-high Imperial Hotel. Every door and window of the hotel suddenly displayed auspicious wishes and colorful balloons. Above the roof were floating giant hot air balloons featuring Xayne and Serena’s wedding photos.This scene shocked the Swifts and Browns.Serena was also stunned. Before she could absorb what was happening, the manager of the Imperial Hotel approached. He wore a flattering smile as he bowed and said, "Please wait a moment, Ms. Serena. The wedding reception party is about to arrive.""A reception? For her? There's actually going to be a reception?" Sophia's voice escalated in anger. "Is this a joke?! How does this woman have the privilege of holding her wedding at the Imperial Hotel?!"Ethan then stepped forward and asked the manager, "Mr.
Boom, boom, boom! In an instant, a hundred golden fireworks went off. One hundred thunderous shots echoed across Shalholm. The sky exploded into a dazzling display, adorning the skyline with unparalleled brilliance."Goodness, they even have fireworks!""You have quite the extravagant taste, Mr. Ethan. This isn't just about being wealthy. You must have some powerful connections. Very impressive.""Your son-in-law is extraordinary, Mr. Tim."Facing the congratulations from the crowd, Eric and the rest of the Swifts wore bewildered expressions. Even Ethan looked confused. None of this was his doing.On the other hand, Sophia was excitedly holding onto Ethan's arm, exclaiming, "Honey! Is this a surprise you prepared for me? I love it!"Ethan's lips twitched. It seemed like denying it at this point wouldn't help."Do you like it?" he asked."I love it! I love you so much!" Sophia replied, then shouted toward Serena, "Are you seeing this, Serena? This is the surprise my husband pr
Fireworks exploded once again as eight fighter jets suddenly soared through the sky, each carrying a massive banner. The banners boldly proclaimed, "To the bride and groom, Serena and Xayne, congratulations on your wedding day from the South Canyon Military!""To the bride and groom, Serena and Xayne, congratulations on your wedding day from the East Yoskea Military!""To the bride and groom, Serena and Xayne, congratulations on your wedding day from the West Dangria Military!”"To the bride and groom, Serena and Xayne, congratulations on your wedding day from the Drakonix Military!”"To the bride and groom, Serena and Xayne, congratulations on your wedding day from the Northern Plains Military!”As Drakonia's Five Pillars extended their congratulations, everyone was dumbfounded, and shock surged through them."Wh-What's going on? Drakonia's Five Pillars are congratulating them?""Oh my God! What did I just witness? It’s Drakonia's Five Pillars!""What kind of wedding is this?
Everyone was shocked by the scene before them. Behind the limousines were three thousand fully armed soldiers. They had never seen such a spectacle.Upon witnessing this, Ethan and Sophia, among others, wore expressions of astonishment. Their eyes widened in disbelief."Could this be Xayne's wedding reception?" someone wondered aloud."Oh my God! What's happening? Isn’t he just a loser? How did he pull off such a grand spectacle?""Blessings from all Five Pillars, Drakonia limousines as wedding cars, and even the number one car from the Northern Plains Military..."Everyone was puzzled. Who was Xayne?!At the Imperial Hotel entrance, Serena, dressed in an exquisite white wedding gown, stood before the dignitaries. She was ecstatic, tears of joy streaming down her face as she watched the procession approach her.Simultaneously, all the billboards on the streets of Shalholm had wedding photos of Xayne and Serena. All news channels and broadcasting stations rushed to the scene fo
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
