Chapter 973
Author: Blanco Burn
The three family heads glanced at each other before sitting back down.

“All right, we’re willing to talk just based on your claims, Mr. Alexander.”

Meanwhile, the Blanton, Sarratt, and Fitzgerald families nodded silently. Soon, a specialist entered and collected everyone’s phones. Then, the bodyguards left the meeting room. Only nine people remained.

Alexander said smilingly, “Let’s begin, shall we? We shall discuss Mr. White, the overseas investor. As prominent Hacincth figures, you all should have gathered some information on him. My elders want to be a part of his seventy billion dollar investment. Does anyone object?”

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

Finally, Lark said, “Six of us have no objections. We can cooperate better with that foreigner if we collaborate with your family, Mr. Alexander.”

Since the other family heads and Schuman did not voice opposition, Alexander continued, “Very well, we’ve reached a preliminary consensus. My family wishes for the Loya family to act

    “Y-You’re forcing us to cooperate!”“This is outrageous! How dare your family act so poorly!”“Lark, you’re the head of a prestigious family in Hacincth! Can’t you say something?!”The heads of the five prominent families were furious. Alexander’s methods had angered them. Even so, Lark smiled and calmly said, “I’m sorry, but I agree with Mr. Alexander’s proposal. I advise you all not to oppose the Bullards. Otherwise, we might cease to exist in Hacincth.”He looked triumphant as he spoke. Even Humphrey looked arrogant at that moment. After all, the Bullards were their most considerable reliance. The Loyas would do whatever the Bullards said.The heads of the five families were outraged after hearing Lark’s response. The head of the Sarratt family looked at Schuman and said, “Won’t you say something?”Schuman’s expression darkened as he considered the situation. He then smiled and said, “It seems my interests aren’t involved in this distribution, correct?”Finally, everyone real

    Everyone looked troubled except for Lark and Humphrey, who were overjoyed. The heads of the other families finally realized the truth. Lark had betrayed them and became the Bullards’ lackey.As everyone was about to disperse from the meeting, Schuman said, “Hold on, everyone. Mr. Alexander has been talking all night. Shouldn’t it be time for my boss to come and talk?”Everyone was shocked, not expecting the big shot behind Schuman to be at the feast. Everyone exchanged astonished glances as Alexander smiled. “That’s interesting. I would love to meet your mysterious boss, Mr. Schuman.”Schuman had already rushed to the entrance to open the door. Soon after, everyone saw Xayne and Draven entering the meeting room. Xayne had a hand in his pocket as he patted Schuman’s shoulder with the other.Xayne walked past Schuman and took his seat.The family heads, and Alexander frowned as they watched Xayne sit down. Alexander was the first to ask, “What is this esteemed gentleman’s name, I wo

    Alexander fell silent as the financial power of seventy billion dollars was indeed sufficient. Based on the information he had obtained, Mr. White had assets totaling a trillion dollars. Such financial strength was substantial."Mr. White, you must be joking." Alexander's expression soured.Xayne stood up and left. Subsequently, the heads of the other five families followed suit, hoping to catch up with him.Meanwhile, Alexander looked gloomy and displeased. He contemplated whether or not Mr. White was genuine. Mr. White’s appearance had disrupted Alexander’s plans and the Bullards’ strategy.No one expected Mr. White to be Schuman’s boss. Just moments ago, they were discussing how to divide Mr. White’s investment.Lark grew grim as he quickly approached, saying, "Mr. Alexander, what should we do now? Schuman’s boss is Mr. White. No wonder I felt Schuman behaved strangely at the airport!"Alexander's eyes flashed with coldness, saying, "I need to consult with my elders first. The

    Many people visited the Fitzgeralds to ask about Mr. White’s whereabouts. Meanwhile, Schuman remained secluded and refused to entertain any guests.On the other hand, Alexander contacted his family again after receiving news of Mr. White’s temporary leave from Hacincth. Still, the Bullards told Alexander to wait.…Xayne thought he would go crazy after several days of not seeing his wife and daughter. Serena had been swamped due to the collaboration with William. Moreover, her company gradually established itself with ongoing expansions and hiring.When Serena returned home that night, she was ecstatic to see her husband cooking in the kitchen. She ran over and hugged him from behind, exclaiming, “You’re finally home! Coco and I missed you so much!”Xayne replied smilingly, “I had some things to attend to. You can call Coco down for dinner now.”Serena sneakily tasted a piece of braised pork Xayne had made and then went upstairs to get Coco. Soon after, the family of three sat to

    Xayne and Draven headed to the Venzor Military Airport and boarded a jet to the Northern Plains. Xayne told Draven, “Inform the others in Dracarium so they are prepared. If we encounter any resistance on this trip, take action and exert pressure.""Drakon King, have you made a decision?" Draven asked severly."Of course." Xayne nodded."Understood, sir." Draven quickly contacted Dracarium through a satellite phone and ordered, "All members of Dracarium, Drakon King has given orders. Head to the Northern Plains and prepare for any unforeseen circumstances."At that moment, the individuals affiliated with Dracarium dropped their work upon receiving this notice. They then rushed to the nearest airport to travel to the Northern Plains. Even the remaining three Dracoguards of Dracarium, Dragos, Drakix, and Draluna, were on their way.Numerous private planes worldwide headed straight to the Northern Plains, attracting attention from various organizations and military theaters.The Twel

    As soon as the plane landed, Xayne and Draven got into a car and headed to the military hospital where Trey, Quad, and Sefton were.Upon reaching the hospital, Xayne noticed the hospital was under strict lockdown. Armed soldiers guarded the entrance, and Xayne frowned. He got out of the car and walked toward the hospital.However, the two soldiers on duty blocked his way, sternly saying, "This area is under martial law, no entry allowed!"Xayne raised his hand and pushed them aside, easily overpowering them. As they stumbled backward, they quickly aimed their guns at Xayne and Draven, warning, "Halt! Otherwise, we'll shoot!"Unfazed, Xayne challenged, "Go ahead. Shoot if you dare!" Just as the guards were about to open fire, a captain responsible for duty rushed in, kicking the soldiers aside, and angrily exclaimed, "Are you insane? He's the former Commander of Northern Plains! How dare you point guns at him?!"The captain was furious. He ignored the frightened soldiers and respec

    With a single sentence, the entire ward fell into a swift and eerie silence. The chilling aura emanating from Xayne filled the room, causing the major and the others to tremble involuntarily. "What do you think you're doing?" The major's eyes twitched as he attempted to draw his gun.However, in the next moment, a shadow flashed before him. Xayne swiftly grabbed the Major by the neck, lifting him off the ground.His eyes glinted with fierce killing intent as he coldly commanded, "I order you to unlock their handcuffs and beg for forgiveness. Otherwise, I'll snap your neck right now!"A surge of killing intent enveloped the room. The five soldiers behind the major raised their rifles, aiming at Xayne, shouting, "Release Major Nathan! Otherwise, we'll open fire!"These five soldiers were also panicking. Before them stood the former Supreme Commander of the Northern Plains, their superior. Xayne frowned and tossed the major aside, who landed near the hospital bed with a thud. Nathan

    Rose led the way and waited at the door. When she saw Xayne, she stepped forward and said, “Supreme Commander, you can’t go in now.”Xayne frowned and asked, “Why not?”“Flame King just issued an order. Without his authorization, anyone who intrudes will be punished with treason,” Red Rose growled, “It’s a trap.”Anger flickered in Xayne’s eyes as he said, “Very well, then I’ll have to break in. The rest of you stay here.”He then rushed toward the building alone. At that moment, heavily armed soldiers stood before the building. When they saw Xayne approaching, they raised their guns and roared, “Who dares to intrude into the headquarters? Leave now, or we’ll shoot.”However, several silver lights flashed before their eyes. Numerous needles pierced their necks, paralyzing them and causing them to fall to the ground. However, Xayne did not kill them because they were just ordinary soldiers.Although another group of soldiers rushed over, Xayne’s figure transformed into a shadow an

    "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
