"That greedy old dog!" Jagson gritted his teeth, a vicious snarl contorting his face."Get up. Your life will only be guaranteed when you are still valuable. Understand?" Xayne spoke calmly, looking at Jagson.Jagson's eyes darted around. He wasn't some fool. Everyone was knowledgeable and wise in a powerful family like the Einar family. Xayne's words weren't a threat. He didn't need to threaten him now, with a metaphorical knife already at his throat."Mr. Xayne, what exactly are you suggesting?" Jagson's demeanor shifted. There was a new clarity in his eyes.After that phone call, Jagson's mind raced, and he understood certain things. The Einar family had never been his safety net. Only those preselected as heirs received the family's full protection. He was just a pawn."The Einar family will only value you if they're plagued with problems you can solve or if those problems are somehow tied to you," Xayne said calmly.Jagson's piercing blue eyes stayed on Xayne for a long mome

Castrid and Luna barely glanced at the document about the Kickboxing Academy. Instead, they focused intently on the oil field ownership agreement.Jagson skimmed the personnel list provided by the Roland family, frowning. "Who's Kidd Cudi? What makes him qualified to be principal?"If the position of the principal went to the Roland family, the Einar family's efforts would be in vain. As a negotiator, Jagson had to protect his family's interests, even if his ultimate goal was its destruction. His motive can't be too obvious.Roderick's tone was calm but firm. "Have you heard of Karlos the Giant Bear? A Radiant Commander of the past century. He used to be Kidd's disciple. They have a mentor-student bond. I doubt the Einar family founded this Kickboxing Academy just to promote talent. Their true aim is to get in touch with Radiant Commanders. Forming alliances with all existing Radiant Commanders is the real agenda. It must be done before that day arrives!"Roderick's cryptic stateme

Luna and Castrid quickly secured ownership of the oil field and bid farewell to Xayne and Jagson without hesitation.Roderick nodded in satisfaction at Jagson. "I knew the Ashlan Lanchester family would always mak the wiser choice," he said approvingly. With that, he gathered the signed documents and left briskly with his four bodyguards in tow.Behind Jagson, a black-clad bodyguard stepped forward and said respectfully, "Master Jagson, the Third Elder has instructed that you return to the family as soon as possible."Jagson's expression darkened as he whipped around, glaring at the bodyguard. "The Third Elder? Do you even see me as part of this family anymore?"Snatching the signed documents, he threw them at the bodyguard. "I still have to make a trip to Kaman. The Third Elder wants me to inform Spencer about the change in plans."Without waiting for a response, Jagson let out a cold snort and strode toward the door. He paused briefly to glance back at Xayne. "Mr. Xayne, can y

Just as Spencer said that, the two imposing men on either side of him shifted, cutting off Xayne's escape routes entirely. Their presence radiated power as each of them exuded an aura on par with a Quad-Divine Commander. It was unrelenting and suffocating."Mr. Spencer, this… this has to be a misunderstanding! He's… he's just a mercenary I hired for protection!" Jason stammered, his face pale as he scrambled to explain.Spencer's expression remained cold as he tilted his head back and laughed heartily."This is the King of the North, isn't it?" Spencer said as he pulled a picture from his pocket and waved it before Jason and Xayne. "You people… Always trying to play me for a fool. The relationship between Xayne and Luna is complicated—sometimes allies, sometimes enemies. She has no reason to kill him, does she? Isn't that right… King of the North?" Spencer shook his head with mock.Hands clasped behind his back, Spencer turned to admire the city skyline beyond the suite's window

Although one of the henchmen managed to deflect Xayne's Ravenclaw Dagger, the sheer force of the impact sent him flying backward uncontrollably. The impact made the blood within him surge, and his energy was thrown into chaos. His body crashed to the ground with a heavy thud, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.For a moment, he stared at Xayne in disbelief. Both were Quad-Divine Commanders, but the gap between their strength was unimaginable.Meanwhile, the other henchman did not fare any better. The dagger spun midair, its blade pivoting with deadly precision, heading straight for the other henchman's chest.The sheer force of its rotation created a mini vortex, the shockwave shattering every window in the room.Jason clung to a nearby concrete pillar as his face turned pale with fear.'Is this Xayne's true power? Is this the strength of a Quad-Divine Commander?!'Jason's thoughts were a chaotic jumble of curses and terror. The shockwaves were so strong he genuinely worried abo
