Chapter 93
Author: Blanco Burn
The words hung in the air, and the meeting room fell silent. Everyone stared at each other, wide-eyed, completely unaware of where Xayne found the audacity and confidence.

"If you can't secure deals with all five material suppliers, Serena will resign, and Sophia will take charge of this project. You will also have to leave the Swift residence," Eric said coldly.

"Okay," Xayne replied calmly.

Violet and Royce, who had been sitting quietly, were now alarmed.

"Xayne! What are you doing? Why did you agree to this? What does it have to do with you? This is my daughter's problem, and Serena hasn't even agreed. Who do you think you are?" Violet exclaimed, shouting at Eric. "I disagree! This loser can't speak on behalf of my daughter!"

"Exactly! He has no right to speak for my sister!" Royce added, glaring resentfully at Xayne.

Sophia and her parents smirked and remained silent.

Xayne approached Serena, who wore a face full of sadness. He said, "Trust me."

With tears in her eyes, Sere

    "Hmph! What can a loser like you, who has been disowned by our family, bring to us? Nothing but a series of jokes!""I suggest we immediately remove Serena from her position as the lead for the collaboration with the Linford Group!"In that instant, the Swift family members reveled in anticipation of the consequences Serena would soon face.Serena sat there, overwhelmed with nervousness and fear. She anxiously glanced at her phone, silently praying that Xayne's assurances were true. However, an hour had passed, and despair began to seep in. She pondered, 'Could it be that Xayne was lying to me?'Violet, sitting to the side, let out a disdainful snort. "Serena, I've been telling you all along that Xayne is unreliable! But you wouldn't listen! Now, look! He still hasn't shown up, and you're here to face everyone's anger. You should just divorce him and let me set you up with a wealthy man."Royce joined in, mockingly laughing at Serena. "Serena, stop waiting and start packing your b

    Without a moment's hesitation, Eric urged everyone, "Let's move! We need to go out and greet them immediately!"The senior executives of the Swift Group and the Swift family members swiftly grasped the gravity of the situation. They took a collective breath and prepared to rise, ready to extend a warm welcome to the five chairpersons.However, the five chairpersons strode into the meeting room, accompanied by their assistants. They were dressed in brand-new and impressive attire.As they entered, a palpable tension filled the room. These individuals represented the foremost companies in the Shalholm construction materials industry. Collectively, the assets of their companies surpassed three billion dollars, a staggering twenty times greater than the value of the Swift Group. Their financial power made them untouchable by the Swift Group.What added to their intimidating presence was their affiliation with DominionCorp, under the leadership of Chuck Lavy, the richest individual in S

    "Could it be Xayne's doing?"The meeting room filled with speculation and discussion as everyone pondered the question.Eric snapped out of his surprise and rushed over to Serena, filled with excitement. He took five contracts from her hands. "This is incredible! Our company has secured material supply from these five conglomerates. It will give us a foothold in Shalholm! Serena, you're amazing. Well done!"Still a bit dazed, Serena suddenly remembered Xayne's words from yesterday. She wondered, 'Are those five Xayne's friends? But they're much older than him... Does Xayne have another identity?'Violet quickly approached, wearing a smile. "Eric, make sure you keep your promise. Serena secured collaboration with these five material suppliers. Her position as the project leader shouldn't change."Eric, still filled with excitement, reassured her, "No changes, no changes." Then he turned to Serena and said, "Keep up the good work. I have high hopes for you!"In contrast, Sophia and

    Xayne couldn't help but let out a laugh. "Well, they have some connection to my family in the past. I reached out to them for a favor this time, and they agreed to help out, probably because of their previous ties with the Xavier family. But hey, let's not dwell on that too much. Just focus on giving it your all and don't let me down, okay?"Serena's eyes filled with grateful tears as she heard his words. She mustered a smile and said, "Thank you, Honey. I really appreciate it."With an awkward grin, Xayne scratched his head. "No need to thank me that much. I'll go check on the soup."In no time, Xayne approached the table, carefully balancing a steaming pot of freshly cooked cream of chicken soup. "Voila! Our homemade cream of chicken soup is ready!"Coco eagerly settled into her chair, her eyes locked on the tantalizing pot of soup. She couldn't contain her excitement and exclaimed, "Mommy, Daddy made it! I want a bowl!"Indulging her daughter, Serena dished out a bowl for Coco,

    A burly, bald man, clad in a trench coat and puffing on a cigarette, emerged from the midst of the crowd. He removed his sunglasses and briskly wiped them with his coat, exposing a glimmer of gold teeth as he flashed a menacing grin at Ruben Mendoza. "Mr. Mendoza, it appears my warning from yesterday failed to make an impression on you. What's the matter? Do you truly believe you can challenge me with this pitiful group of yours?"Before Ruben could utter a word, Serena stepped forward, a pleasant smile adorning her face. "Hello, I'm Serena Swift, in charge of the factory business here. How much money do you want to put an end to this?" Serena held a naive belief that money alone could resolve the problem.Instantly, the bald man became captivated by Serena's beauty. Today, Serena appeared stunning as usual, and the touch of light makeup accentuated her allure even more."Well, well, you're from the Swift family, huh? Serena? Haven't heard much about you, but that's alright. You're

    Upon hearing Xayne's words, Ruben responded with a concerned expression on his face. "Sir, Baxter Webb is notorious around here for being ruthless. He has a gang of about a hundred guys working for him. He's been to prison before and has connections in the underworld. He extorts money from all the factories in this area, and no one dares to speak up. He's the vengeful type, even for the smallest offense."You beat up his henchmen today; he won't let it slide. How about you and your wife go back first? If you're not here, Baxter Webb probably won't do anything to us."Serena, feeling anxious upon hearing this, immediately interjected, "We can't just leave like that. Since things have already happened, I'll face it and resolve it."After speaking, she turned her head toward Xayne and said, "Xayne, you should go back and hide for now. I'll handle this, and they probably won't cause any trouble with me here. If things get worse, I'll call the police."Xayne chuckled and shrugged. "If c

    "Chief Saun, what happened to make you so angry? Who was that on the phone just now?" A subordinate spoke up, shattering the tense silence.Harold turned around, casting a glance at the people below and let out a disdainful snort. "Angry? Nah, I'm not angry! I'm scared, damn it! In front of that guy, I'm nothing but a nobody! With just a word from him, the whole damn town of Shalholm could be thrown into chaos!"Even Linford Haith and Kenneth Selby, the big shots, wouldn't dare to lift their heads in his presence! Have you all forgotten what went down with the Golding family? That was all thanks to that man! And now his wife's factory in Terrence's jurisdiction has been hit and trashed by those goons over yonder!"How many brain cells do you have to lose to get it? You useless morons! Worthless pieces of crap!

    The factory workers were terrified as the renowned Baxter Webb stood before them. Behind him were over a hundred fierce-looking henchmen with weapons. It was something ordinary factory workers had never seen before, so it was natural for them to feel terrified.Some of the workers were so frightened that they ran away.Baxter held a cigar as he approached Xayne and his group. The former unbuttoned his coat and shrugged, causing it to drop when one of his henchmen swiftly caught it.He had an angular face that exuded an imposing aura. With his cigar between his fingers, he exhaled a puff of smoke and looked at the workers before him, asking, “Which of you laid hands on my men just now?!”His voice echoed throughout the factory as the workers exchanged glances before looking at Xayne.Xayne replied, “It was me.”Baxter turned to look at Xayne and puffed his cigarette, ordering, “Break both his legs! I want him to kneel before me.”He sounded as if he had done this many times. Sudd

    "There are more than thirty of them?" Xayne's heart pounded. That meant there were people even stronger than Horin."They're all waiting... waiting for the Ruins of the Dragon Clan to surface. In the end, anyone who craves that treasure will lose their life to greed. That is the cycle of the world." Horin gazed into the distance with a calm expression.He had not been avoiding conflict—he had been biding his time, accumulating power. Xayne could sense it in his eyes. There was ambition there. Every move Horin made served his ultimate goal. Even forging a connection with Xayne had been a calculated step to expand his influence.Xayne was a lone warrior, with no faction backing him. From Horin's perspective, all he had to do was lend Xayne a hand, earn his gratitude, and that was enough. That was why Horin had treated him so favorably. He had even shared some of his own insights, sharpening Xayne’s mindset, strengthening his abilities. Someday, Xayne might become one of his strongest ass

    Xander sized up Fent and spoke coldly. "Fent, will you not turn back from your misguided path?"Fent struggled to his feet, his glare filled with hostility. He spat on the ground and growled, "I will never stand on the same side as Xayne! And you, mark my words—when I return from this mountain, it will be the day of your demise. Just you wait!" With that, he dragged his battered body away, limping down the mountain path without looking back. Stringer and Yeti flanked him, offering their support as he leaned on them for balance.At the Heavenly Water Sanctuary, to the east, a towering waterfall crashed down in torrents. To the west, a quiet river snaked through the valley, its current slow and steady. At the river’s heart lay a tranquil pool, its surface untouched by the world beyond.A hundred feet above the gorge, nestled into the cliffside, a cave overlooked the breathtaking scenery. The air was crisp and pure, carrying the scent of fresh earth and mountain blossoms."Senior, this p

    Fent did not dare utter a single word of protest. Clutching his chest, he trembled as he knelt before Horin."How is your teacher?" Horin turned slightly, directing his question to Yeti."It has been a hundred years since I last saw him. I do not know," Yeti replied with the utmost reverence.Horin suddenly shifted his gaze to Xayne. "The secret of the Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars… lies like the self—no thoughts, no desires, no life, no death! It does not rely on the power of the stars! The world follows the Path of Veyara, but what is the Path of Veyara? The radiance of the stars is not true light." His words were spoken softly as if he were merely muttering to himself—or perhaps offering Xayne a lesson.Xayne's heart stirred. Horin’s insight was astounding. The eight words—"No thoughts, no desires, no life, no death."—lingered in his mind. They placed Horin far beyond the comprehension of ordinary cultivators."Magnetic fields… are simply the pull of the stars. They have al

    "Do you yield?" Horin gazed at Xayne with a calm, indifferent expression.Fent and the others broke out in a cold sweat. Just a single finger—that was all it took. It proved that Horin’s power was unfathomable. Standing before him, they felt no different from mere ants. But what was even stranger was the complete absence of dominance around Horin. No oppressive force. No overwhelming presence. It was as if he, the heavens, the earth—everything—were one. His arrival, and that single finger strike, felt less like an act of man and more like the will of the universe itself.Xayne was beyond shocked. But he was not the only one. Andrea, watching the live broadcast, sat in stunned silence. He could hardly believe what he had just witnessed. Because the one who had been defeated—was Xayne.'Then what realm had this man reached? Quad-Radiant Commander? Rising Numen Commander? Or had he already ascended to Numen Commander?' The mere thought sent shivers down Andrea’s spine.The Light Order’s

    Xayne’s comprehension must have been immense—not only to counter Fent’s attack but to transform it into his own. Fent would have easily blocked this spear had he not taken that devastating palm strike.But now, his entire right side was caved in. One arm hung limply, the other completely empty. No sword, no weapon, not even a sliver of metal remained to block Xayne’s spear. It was no different from trying to catch a nuclear warhead.Yet, Fent had no choice. His retreat had already been cut off. If he turned his back, he would only meet a deadly stab from behind—a certain death sentence."If I die—then I'll drag you down with me!" Fent’s face twisted in fury. With only one thought in his mind, he lunged toward Xayne. He would deliver a lethal palm strike, even if it meant taking Xayne’s spear head-on."Master, he's going for mutual destruction!" From a distance, Esmond saw Fent shooting forward and cried out in alarm.But Xayne had already seen through him. And now, there was no turning

    Xayne appeared to be at his limit, yet in truth, he was far from it. From the Heavenly Tome, he had already mastered the Seven-Star Footwork to perfection. With the slightest lift of his feet, his positioning shifted unpredictably.Three consecutive strikes from Fent were missed completely. The sheer force of the sword energy alone shattered the nearby trees into splinters.Xayne lunged forward, spear in hand, as a formation flared to life around him. In an instant, multiple spear projections erupted outward, each infused with lethal intent, hurtling toward Fent from every angle."Not good! Fall back quickly!" Elder Stringer suddenly shouted toward Fent.But at that very moment, just as the spears were about to pierce into Fent's body, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Fent's lips. It went exactly as he had planned. From the very start, his attacks had merely been probing. Through those exchanges, Fent had already figured out that Xayne's strength was high, but his battle exp

    Just as Fent unleashed his full-force attack, far away in the Skyveria Cave Heaven within Nindragon Mountain, a young man with long hair slowly rose from a white lotus platform. He turned to the elderly figure beside him and murmured, "Fent of White Blossom Mountain?" The elderly figure was none other than Xander. Xander frowned slightly and said, "Your Excellency, in truth, the moment Killian's descendant was attacked days ago, forces from outer battlegrounds had already begun their plans. This time, they've dispatched eleven Radiant Commanders just to erase the last glimmer of hope for Drakonia. If Xayne dies, the three Dragon Hearts will be masterless, and the Ruins of Dragon Clan will never be opened again!" Xander spoke with no emotion as if merely stating an unrelated fact. Upon hearing this, Horin Tamie, the Creator of Light Order, turned his gaze toward Xayne's distant battlefield before suddenly tilting his head back and laughing. "Xander, are you truly not worried about

    Xayne let out a sudden roar, and his Scarlet Dragon Lance erupted with a dazzling radiance. The void within hundreds of meters shuddered violently, while the earth beneath them cracked open with deep fissures. At this moment, the sky seemed on the verge of being torn apart by the overwhelming force. Xayne's aura surged to its absolute peak. "Elder Stringer! Hurry! You and I must join forces to kill him! He's burning his life force, he can't last much longer! Just hold out a little longer, and he will surely perish!" Fent roared at Elder Stringer. But there was no need for Fent to say anything; Elder Stringer and Yeti could already feel it. Xayne was igniting his very soul. Elder Stringer unleashed his full strength at that instant, his sword slashing toward Xayne with killing intent. They needed just five more minutes. Xayne's aura would surely weaken, and when that moment came, it would be the end of him. "Hold out? Do you think you have a chance to kill me?" Xayne let out a c

    After the relentless battles, Xayne was clearly at his limit. Fent refused to believe that Xayne could still put up a fight. He could distinctly sense Xayne's aura weakening. As the saying goes, "Strike while the iron is hot." With a sudden tremor of his body, Fent flicked his wrist, and the sword he had tossed aside earlier shot back into his grasp. With a single thrust, his blade erupted with a dazzling silver radiance, peerless sword energy piercing straight into the sky. Fent wasn't regarded as the peak combatant among the eleven just because of his raw power. It was because he wielded a lost secret formation from White Blossom Mountain, the "Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars."Strictly speaking, this formation surpassed conventional formations. It was a forbidden secret formation. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a peerless heavenly skill. The origins of the Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars could be traced back to the first ancestor of White Blossom Mounta
