Haqin picked up four chess pieces from the board and said, "Hyenka is indeed remarkable, but do not forget, there is still that man, Xander! This matter has spread throughout the entire Drakonia, yet Xander remains silent. What does that imply?""Xander… is still alive?" The Great Elder looked at Haqin in confusion."Who dares claim that Xander is definitely dead? If Xayne dies, the Xavier family will be left with no heir! Xander is bound to reappear. And the outcome—will it be the destruction of the Bullard family or the Xavier family?"Haqin raised his head, gazing indifferently at the sky. A patch of blood-red clouds tinted the evening sky like fire."Do you mean that the Bullard family cannot match up to the Xavier family?" The Great Elder suddenly realized."Cannot match? Not necessarily. With the situation unclear, the best offense is a strong defense. Remaining still is far better than making a rash move!" Haqin’s voice was emotionless, completely devoid of feeling."Maste

Steam was rising from the large pot above, and while its contents were unknown, the aroma was incredibly inviting."Honey, we have guests!" the old man called into the courtyard.An elderly woman, leaning on a dragon-headed cane, slowly turned around and glanced at Xayne and Dragos.She then resumed fanning the fire and continued cooking as if nothing had happened."Sir, I'd very much like to hear about Kulun Ruins. Would you be willing to teach me?"Xayne put down the bundle of firewood and asked politely."What is ruins?" Before the old man could reply, the old woman spoke up.Xayne frowned slightly and replied, "In ancient times, ruins referred to the tombs of emperors."The old woman turned her head back, her eyes flashing with sharp brilliance, and carefully examined Xayne. "You're from the Xavier family?""M-Madam, how did you know my surname is Xavier?"Xayne was puzzled.At the same time, his curiosity about the identities of the two elders deepened."Hehe," the old

"Go on." The old man waved his hand, hunched his back, and headed toward the wooden house.After thanking the old woman, Xayne left with Dragos."Drakon King…" Dragos still seemed reluctant, unsure whether these two elders were deceiving them."Let's head back. Kulun Ruins is indeed not a place we can enter right now,"Xayne glanced back at the towering Mount Kulun, especially at the cloud-covered peaks, and gritted his teeth slightly.When he took the old man's blow earlier, it nearly drained all his strength. This frightening level of power was like that of an unbeatable force.Not even Xayne's grandfather had ever given him such an overwhelming sense of awe.Moreover, Xayne vaguely sensed that the old man wasn't the strongest of the two; it was the quiet old woman who was truly unfathomable.At the same time, these two elders had revealed an ancient secret.It wasn't that no one had ever found the locations of the five Dragon Hearts—it was just that most who ventured into K

Before Harbin could finish his words, he noticed Jean’s gaze suddenly turn cold, and the rest of his words were swallowed back down. Reluctantly, he stepped back to his position."In doing things and dealing with people, one must understand the rules!" Jean turned his head and glared at Harbin.In this group, the real leader was Xayne.Xayne hadn’t spoken yet, so Harbin’s presumptuous interference only irritated Jean further.Seeing Harbin back down, Xayne calmly raised his head and said, "Move aside."His voice wasn’t loud, but it carried an undeniable authority.Both Zelsis and the middle-aged man in the suit involuntarily stepped back."You’re Xayne?" The man in the suit scrutinized Xayne with a hostile look.Xayne didn’t bother answering. With his hand behind his back, he walked right past him.When Xayne passed by, the man in the suit’s face suddenly changed, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.He had been completely ignored by Xayne, treated as if he didn’t even ex

"Many things can be handed over to managers below; there's no need to handle everything personally," Xayne advised.Serena could only smile bitterly. With the Serena Group responsible for national pharmaceutical exports, reviewing all kinds of product specifications wasn't an easy task. No manager could handle all that. Even ordinary employees were now having to wear multiple hats."It's not that easy. We've almost resorted to sending security guards into these roles!" Serena sighed."Expand the workforce," Xayne said bluntly. Given the current workload of the Serena Group, it was clear that the staff was far from sufficient."There aren't enough people who really understand pharmaceuticals. Moreover, the top talents have long been poached by various pharmaceutical companies. We can only hire fresh graduates, which is challenging," Serena explained, feeling utterly helpless about the situation."Ms. Serena, we do have some talented individuals at our company who meet your requireme
