When Serena turned, she saw Tim and Sophia approaching with unfriendly expressions. Still, she addressed them out of politeness, “Uncle Tim, is there something you need?”

Tim’s expression darkened as he glanced at Evelyn, asking, “What are you doing here, Serena?”

“We’re here to discuss business, of course,” Evelyn interjected with a hint of disdain. She had learned about her boss’s past and various rumors regarding the Swifts. She harbored profound resentment toward the family.

Sophia questioned Serena, “What kind of business are you here for? Aren’t you unemployed?”

“Hmph, Ms. Serena has started her own company.” Evelyn rolled her eyes. She despised Sophia, who seemed to enjoy bossing people around.

Sophia and Tim were stunned and exclaimed in unison, “You did what?!”

Tim quickly realized what was happening and interrogated Serena, “So that’s what you’ve been up to. Is that why you refused to return to us? It seems you’ve been scheming against us. Are you here to negotiate with

    Serena surveyed the area and thought there were easily over a hundred people. She and Evelyn could not even squeeze in. Instead, they had to stand outside and watch anxiously from a distance.Evelyn was concerned, asking, “Um, what do we do? There are way too many people. How long do we have to wait to see Mr. William?”At that moment, Tim and Sophia brought along two well-dressed men to the hotel. They arrogantly glanced at Serena and Evelyn, who were waiting behind the crowd.Tim had his hands behind his back as he chuckled and said, “Serena, you can wait here the whole day. Sophia and I have invitations.”He proudly displayed his invitation to his niece as he spoke.Sophia crossed her arms and laughed disdainfully. “Do you think starting a small company makes you a boss? What a joke. You’ve got a lot to learn in the business world. Take your time to learn about it.”The duo entered the hotel through a side entrance. They even passed the two foreign bodyguards’ verification. Be

    The entire venue fell silent. Nearly a hundred people had their eyes on Serena. They had been waiting here for a whole day, and yet they hadn't seen Mr. William's assistant. However, the foreigner invited a woman to discuss matters with William in such a respectful manner.It was simply unbelievable."Damn! Who's that woman? Mr. William actually personally invited her for a discussion?""I vaguely remember her. She seems to be from the Swift family.""Serena! I know her. She's the daughter of the second son of the Swift family. Isn't Tim there too? They are here as well."With the discussions of the crowd, Serena's identity was revealed, leaving everyone astonished. Tim and Sophia's expressions were constantly changing.'What's going on? Did Mr. William actually invite Serena to go up? What just happened?'Serena was bewildered. She looked at the foreigner in front of her with suspicion and asked, "Are you calling me?"The foreigner politely replied, "Yes, Ms. Serena, it's you.

    "Damn it! Dad, what the hell is going on? Why is it Serena again?!" Sophia stomped her foot in anger.Tim questioned solemnly, "Was it because of Xayne?"Sophia was enraged. "Impossible! He's not the Supreme Commander of the Northern Plains anymore. Besides, Mr. William is a foreigner. Even if he were the Supreme Commander of the Northern Plains, it wouldn't matter!"Tim nodded, his expression turning cold. Suddenly, he burst into laughter. Seeing her father suddenly laughing, Sophia asked with suspicion, "Dad, what are you laughing about at a time like this?"Tim said, "Silly girl. Since Serena secured the collaboration with Mr. William, it means our family secured it as well!"Sophia paused, then caught on. "Dad, you mean—"Tim continued, "No matter what, Serena is still a Swift. Although she left, blood is thicker than water. As long as we talk nicely, our family can take the lion's share of the collaboration with Mr. William.""Right!" Sophia clapped with a sly smile.Tim s

    Sophia was stunned and frustrated. "Dad—""Kneel!" Tim shouted.Sophia reluctantly knelt and bowed. She then apologized to Serena and Xayne, "I'm sorry. I was wrong just now. I apologize to both of you."Standing aside, Tim immediately put on a smiling face and said, "Xayne, are you satisfied now? My daughter has already apologized."Xayne nodded indifferently and directly led Serena away.Behind them, Tim hastily called out, "Xayne, Serena, I'll visit you tomorrow to discuss collaboration!"Until Xayne and Serena were far away, Tim's face quickly darkened.Sophia also quickly stood up, angrily shouting, "Dad, why did you make me kneel? It's so embarrassing! She's just a lowlife. Why should I?"Tim turned his head, glaring at her coldly. "Do you think she's still the old Serena? Can't you see that she no longer acknowledges our family or even me as her uncle? Let's go home. We'll tell Dad about this."He got into the car and returned with Sophia.At that moment, Eric was sitt

    "Dad, how's Grandpa?" Serena asked with a concerned look on her face. After all, he was her grandpa, and she couldn't help but worry.Tony shook his head with a sigh. "Not good. They're still trying to save him.""Hmph! Serena, how do you have the nerve to come here? It's all because of you that Grandpa had a heart attack!" Sophia suddenly rushed out, pointing at Serena and scolding her.Xayne's face darkened, and he spoke in a cold tone, "Sophia, mind your words."With just one sentence, Sophia trembled all over, taking a few steps back in fear. Then, she continued to shout, "What, Xayne? Do you want to start a fight here? You used to be the Supreme Commander of the Northern Plains, but that's not the case now. Don't try to intimidate people with your authority."Xayne frowned. Tim immediately stepped forward, glaring coldly at Sophia, and said, "Enough!"Then, he looked at Serena with cold eyes, saying, "Serena, Grandpa collapsed entirely because of you.""Me?" Serena was pu

    Serena had no choice but to nod and agree, "Okay, Grandpa, I promise you."With that, Eric finally breathed a sigh of relief.Tim stood behind, wearing a sly smile on his face.Later, after leaving the hospital room, Serena and Xayne walked out.Tim caught up, shouting, "Serena, you must make sure to fulfill Grandpa's request regarding this collaboration—"Serena interrupted, "Uncle, come to my company tomorrow for discussions.""Sure, sure, sure." Tim was all smiles, not bothering Serena any longer.As they left the hospital, Violet and Royce hurriedly caught up, calling out, "Serena, wait!""Mom, what's the matter?" Serena didn't look too happy."Serena, what else could it be? You've started a new company and signed a cooperation agreement with some foreigner, right? I heard it's a 700-million-dollar investment. "Look, your brother has nothing much to do in the company lately, and your uncle is constantly sidelining him. How about letting him work at your company? Just g

    Several days later, Serena signed a partial cooperation agreement with the Swifts. She would outsource a portion of William’s foreign business team’s projects to the family. As for Royce, he worked for the company as a regular employee.Although dissatisfied, Royce could only stay quiet under Xayne’s warning.Just like that, Serena’s new company began cooperating with William’s team. She also immersed herself in a busy rhythm while Xayne became the most leisurely person.Since Ariana had not contacted him for a while, and he even resigned from being the Supreme Commander, he had few responsibilities. While he exercised in the villa, a figure leaped down from the ceiling and silently approached Xayne from behind.The figure knelt on one knee and said, “Subordinate Draven, reporting to the Drakon King.”Xayne turned and wiped his sweat with a towel, saying, “Stand.”Draven stood up in his black armor and stood there silently. He was one of Dracarium’s four Dracoguards and possessed

    The airport was under strict security as armed bodyguards stood everywhere. The heads of various prestigious families and entrepreneurs were anxious while waiting in the arrival hall. Suddenly, a commotion erupted in the crowd.“Wow, it's the Loya family! They’re here, too.”“That’s incredible. The news of the foreign investor's return has even attracted the Loyas’ attention.”“Even the representatives from all six prominent families are here, too!”Discussions filled the airport as a group of people moved through the crowded space toward the front of the arrival hall.Lark Loya, the head of the family, stood at the forefront with his second brother, Humphrey Loya, and his son, Cedric Loya. Elite family bodyguards stood behind the trio, each with guns at their waists.The family’s appearance caused an immediate stir. Many prominent figures greeted the trio with respect. The slightly thin Lark nodded at them. He had a hooked nose and cold eyes that shimmered with cunning and ruthl

    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
