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
Flame King’s robust physique was evident when he removed his Red Flame suit. He stared at Xayne and casually cracked his neck, saying indifferently, “Let me see if the former Supreme Commander of the Northern Plains is as mighty as they say.”Xayne squinted as he gazed at Flame King. “You’re no match for me.”Flame King chuckled with a trace of anger in his eyes. “I guess we’ll find out.”Immediately after, an explosion echoed as Flame King’s figure disappeared. Suddenly, his fist appeared before Xayne at the speed of light, showcasing his speed as a Supreme Commander. Even Legend Warriors could not see the attack, not to mention ordinary people.However, Xayne simply leaned to the side to dodge the punch. Although he countered with a right hook, Flame King dodged it. The latter smirked, saying, “Excellent, you’re a worthy opponent.”Xayne calmly gazed at Flame King, observing as the latter jumped around. Suddenly, Flame King dashed forward again and executed a chop kick at Xayne’
Although Xayne was only in his twenties, he had already become a Celestial Dracarium Warrior. It was unparalleled and unheard of.“Xayne, your strength is beyond my expectations.” Flame King laughed sinisterly. “However, I’ve yet to use my full strength. The real duel starts now!”Xayne frowned and said calmly, “Is that so? Show me your full strength, Flame King!”Suddenly, Flame King stomped, creating a crack in the floor. He then shot toward Xayne and drew a finely crafted blade from his waist, aiming for Xayne’s neck.At that moment, Xayne felt an unprecedented sense of danger as he noticed Flame King’s incredible speed. Even so, Xayne’s reaction was instant as he retreated several steps. He swung his Ravenclaw Dagger at Flame King’s blade.The two weapons collided, creating brilliant sparks. Flame King fumbled backward several steps. He held the tip of Xayne’s dagger, his hands bloodied and cut.Flame King stared at Xayne’s dagger coldly and remarked, “Nice weapon you got her
Flame King sneered. “I never thought I’d lose. But don’t celebrate too early, Xayne. You’ll be betraying the emperor and Drakonia if you kill me now.”Xayne frowned, his voice cold, “I won’t kill you because you’re the current Supreme Commander of Northern Plains. However, you must promise me one thing.”“What is it?” Flame King asked with his face covered in blood.“I want to bring Ace, his brothers, and Red Rose away from here.”Flame King frowned. After some thought, he agreed, “Fine, you have your wish.”Finally, Xayne’s immense killing intent faded.Flame King lay on the ground and looked toward the sky, saying, “I never expected to meet such a talented individual. You’re only in your twenties, yet you’ve already reached such a level. Indeed, your strength is monstrous.“However, there are many more who are stronger than us, Xayne. Being a Supreme Commander is far from the peak.”Xayne’s gaze turned cold as he asked, “What are you trying to say?”Flame King chuckled. “I’v
“Where are the four elders?” Xayne asked.“They’ve gone to the emperor’s pavilion, sir.”After some thought, Xayne said, “Then I’ll wait here.”About an hour later, the four elders’ limousine approached from the street and stopped at the entrance. Hammond saw Xayne standing at the door and out of the car. He shouted joyfully, “Lad, you finally decided to visit us!”Xayne smiled and saluted the four elders, saying, “Hammond, I have something to ask you all.”Hammond noticed Xayne’s severe expression and turned to look at the other three. Warren frowned as he sensed something was amiss. He then said, “Let’s talk inside.”They then entered the most confidential meeting room in the building. Inside, Hammond looked at Xayne’s scars and asked, “Where’d those come from?”“I fought Flame King,” Xayne casually replied.“Did you win?” Lexter asked.Xayne nodded. “I did.”The four elders smiled as Leroy remarked, “Well done, Xayne. Indeed, you’re worthy of representing the Drakonian cou
Warren sighed and continued, “That brings us to the Heavenly Tome.”Xavier frowned.“This extraordinary book has been passed down for thousands of years, documenting many mysteries. Rumor has it that possessing the tome can help one rule the world. Your family was the guardians of the book, which was why the Big Four conspired against them.”Warren was full of regret and anger as he continued, “The Big Four framed your grandfather during Drakonix’s upheaval years ago. In a fit of rage, the emperor stripped your grandfather of his title and imprisoned him.“Drakonix’s officials pleaded for Xander, but the Big Four rejected them. It resulted in the massacre that occurred at the emperor’s pavilion. The officials who knelt before the pavilion were executed.“That night, Xander disappeared from prison. His fate remains unknown. Rumor has it the Big Four persecuted him that night. Still, the outcome is that your once-prominent family collapsed overnight and received a thorough investiga
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
