Xayne's words echoed through the grand hall of the mansion, lingering in the air like a dark cloud. No one dared to speak. Rogers and Irina kept their heads down, their silence heavy with fear and shame. The man Xayne had just killed was none other than Sean, a name that sent chills through all of Eukrania. They knew exactly how terrifying Sean was. Rogers had once witnessed him single-handedly slaughter a city.Even back then, when that country sent an army after him with tanks, helicopters and advanced weapons of mass destruction, not a single hair on Sean's head had been harmed. But just a minute ago, Sean had died. The whole process was so effortless. Rogers felt his face flush with embarrassment as he recalled his earlier words to Xayne. They had been trying to protect him but he didn't need their protection. Sean, the same man who could kill ten of them without breaking a sweat, had been reduced to nothing in front of Xayne. Irina let out a bitter laugh, shaking her head in

The man speaking was none other than Karol. He wasn't as old as the rumors said. It stuck because of his shrewd nature and cunning reputation, a man who always stayed one step ahead of his enemies.In Fran, Karol didn't control everything, but with the backing of the powerful Keil family, he was still one of the most influential players in town. He wasn't the type to show respect easily, even to rising stars from the Cantor family.Phil remained expressionless as he spoke. "Karol, the gentleman behind me needs to speak with you. It's urgent!"Karol narrowed his eyes, sizing up Xayne with a dismissive smirk. He couldn't believe they had gone through all this trouble for a young man from Drakonia. This was Eukrania, not Drakonia. Even if the Emperor of Drakonia himself walked through the door, Karol wouldn't bat an eye."You'd better think carefully before you speak. Do you even know who you're talking to?" Karol's voice was cold, his gaze sharp."Of course, I'm talking to you," Phil

The moment Xayne finished speaking, Karol leaned back and let out a loud laugh. To him, this young man from Drakonia had no idea how deep the waters ran in this world. The person who was bold enough to talk like that in front of him hadn't been born yet.After laughing for a while, Karol pressed the speakerphone button and said to Xayne, "Kid, I'm just trying to save your life here. Tell you what, I'll give you a chance. If you get on your knees right now and apologize, I might consider letting you walk away from this. Otherwise, once the people I've called show up, it won't just be you who's screwed. Even your boss, Yves, will be dragged into a mess so big he won't see the light of day!"He wasn’t bluffing. With the power of the Keil family, they had been able to influence dozens of small Eukranian nations to sever ties with Drakonia. Such a move had been devastating for Drakonia’s global standing. They had risked getting completely shut out by both the Eukranian and Newcroa allianc

Before Karol could finish his sentence, Masterson swung his hand again. The crisp slap echoed through the hall, knocking out Karol's last front tooth. Karol's head buzzed. His thoughts were a blank mess. He couldn't understand what he had done wrong."Mr. Masterson! I've spent my whole life working for the Keil family! I've always been loyal. Why are you treating me like this?" Karol said with a mix of disbelief and defiance.Masterson sneered. "You want to know why? Yes, you've done a lot for the family. Your contributions were significant, no doubt. But right now, you've brought disaster to the Keil family! Compared to the mistake you just made, everything you've ever done is worthless. The fact that I'm only stripping you of your status as a Keil family member and not executing you on the spot is already an act of mercy!"Karol stood there in stunned silence as he heard that he had brought disaster to the Keil family."You have no idea who the man sitting in front of you is, do y

Emilia noticed the darkening expression on Borre's face and suddenly seemed to remember something. She quickly stood up and shouted, "Excuse me, Mr. Borre. Xonor asked for leave today!"Phil had already arranged everything with the other teachers. As for the visiting instructors from Drakonia, he didn't even take them seriously. Phil had even gotten the school's vice principal on board. There was no way a few visiting teachers from Drakonia would dare cause trouble for Xayne, or so he thought.What he didn't expect was that Borre wasn't like the others. Luckily, Emilia acted fast and came up with an excuse. In her mind, Xayne was from Drakonia, and Borre was also from Drakonia. He'd probably look out for him.But as soon as Emilia finished speaking, Borre's brows shot up, and his voice turned ice-cold."What? Skipping on the first day of class? How bold! Maybe you don't understand how important this course on magnetic fields is. Even the great family heirs wouldn't dare miss my clas
