Xayne’s overwhelming voice sent shivers down everyone’s spine and stunned the Swift family members. He resembled a demon as he approached, frightening the family members, who quickly backed away.Xayne looked at the crying Serena and Coco huddling together on the ground. He clenched his fists as anger burned in his eyes.Upon seeing his return, Coco rushed toward him, sobbing, “Daddy, they bullied Mommy and me. Waa!”Xayne lifted his daughter and noticed the red handprint on her face. He frowned and gazed over everyone, asking, “Who did this?”No one dared to utter a word, and the other Swift family members retreated while avoiding eye contact with Xayne. Meanwhile, Vivian quickly hid behind the crowd, terrified.‘He’s terrifying. How can his demeanor be so intimidating that no one dares to meet his gaze?’“I will ask again. Who did this?!” Xayne raised his voice as the rage in his eyes burned even brighter.Five years had passed, and he owed the two much. He had promised to pro

Xayne stood silent for a long time and hesitated to tell Serena everything. However, he still had many dangerous tasks to do. Those tasks often involved the interests of influential figures, which could put his life at risk.While Xayne could protect himself, he could not be by Serena and Coco’s side every moment. After all, he could no longer mobilize the Northern Plains’ soldiers, let alone bring the Dracarium soldiers here again.It would be too risky as the four elders had already expressed their concerns through Ace. Although they were not pointing fingers, Xayne could read between the lines.Moreover, for a Supreme Commander to casually move three hundred thousand troops would alarm the Drakonians and make many prominent figures uneasy.When Serena noticed Xayne’s hesitance, she composed herself and said, “Since you’re not willing to talk, I won’t force you. I can care for Coco alone. If you genuinely care about us and want to be Coco’s father, you should spend more time with

The guy they fought over pursued Serena relentlessly, but she turned him down. However, Tracy had a crush on him. Over time, it led to several clashes between Tracy and Serena until Tracy even resorted to physically attacking Serena.Candy noticed Serena lost in thought and grabbed her hand, asking, “What are you thinking about? Let’s go in.”The trio entered the private room and could already hear laughter and chatter. Everyone there discussed luxury handbags, designer watches, etcetera.“Hey, look who’s here! It’s Serena Swift, our beauty queen,” Candy shouted and clapped as she entered.Serena and Xayne entered and saw the spacious room with tables of top-shelf liquors and food. People there even had Porsche, Ferrari, or Lamborghini keys in front of them. Meanwhile, the few women present had luxury handbags, exuding an air of wealth.These women had successful gentlemen accompanying them, dressed like heirs or elite professionals. The previously boisterous room fell silent when

"Tracy, why?” Serena was confused as her tears and the red wine flowed down her face. She felt sorrowful because she had hoped her childhood friend would finally reconcile with her. However, it seemed it was just one-sided.“Why? Because you’ve always been better and prettier than me while I remain a shadow. I was a wallflower while you basked in your glory. Do you think I’m content with that?!” Tracy shouted resentfully.After taking a breath, she continued, “You’re nothing but a worthless woman to us. Do you think we’ll forgive you?An unattractive woman pointed at Serena and added, “Get on your knees and apologize to us. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have to endure my dad’s constant scolding.”“Hmph! If it weren’t for that bitch, I would’ve pursued the school’s heartthrob. However, that idiot was in love with you,” Tracy said, “Even thinking about it makes me angry! Apologize to me now, Serena.”The other women chimed in and verbally attacked Serena. She felt terrified and

Tracy, Candy, and the rest noticed Xayne’s blood-stained clothes and thought he resembled the reaper of death. Everyone paled and looked terrified, hiding toward the back of the private room.“Don’t come any closer! My family owns this hotel. My dad won’t spare you if you harm us. He won’t even spare Serena or her family.” Tracy was horrified.She was typically arrogant with the temperament of a spoiled rich girl. She had an overbearing personality and considered herself superior to everyone. Moreover, her family’s wealth and her father’s doting made her believe she was invincible.Meanwhile, Emily Brunt, the overweight woman, and daughter of Darren Brunt, also looked panicked. She pointed at the approaching Xayne and cried, “Don’t move! I’ve already called my dad. Do you know who I am? Do you know who my dad is?!"He's Darren Brunt, one of the four rulers of Shalholms' underworld, with over five hundred men under him. He also controls over a dozen establishments. My family has ski
