Serena cried for a while before finally taking a deep breath. Her expression turned solemn before she asked, “You’ll handle the equipment issue?”Xayne nodded. “Yeah, I’ll figure something out.”“Xayne, I know you have some connections, but won’t they get sick of you constantly asking for help?” Serena expressed her concern.Xayne caressed Serena’s hair and smiled. “Don't worry about it. They’re my old comrades who will always help if I ask.”Serena grew puzzled, asking, “But there are only seven companies in all of Shalholm with the equipment we need. None of them are willing to sell to us. Where else can you get the equipment?”After some thought, Xayne replied, “If Shalholm doesn’t have what you need, we’ll go elsewhere. Maybe even the capital. I’ll check on the situation while you wait for my message, okay?”When he turned and left, Serena called out to him a few times. However, he simply waved without turning back and rode away on his scooter.Serena watched his departing f

“Okay, I’ll get to it right away.” Ace nodded. Immediately after, he informed the East Yoskea Military about Xayne’s plans.Rhaega received Ace’s call. The former frowned and asked, “Did the King of the North really say he needs a favor?”“Affirmative, Supreme Commander Rhaega. Please take action immediately,” Ace respectfully responded.Rhaega fell silent for a moment before saying, “Understood. Since that’s what the King of the North wants, I’ll help out.”After hanging up the call, he instructed his deputy, “Contact the military factories or business units cooperating within our military theater. Have them send the equipment to Swift Group’s factory in Shalholm. Make no mistakes!”“Sir, is that the King of the North’s order?” A Lieutenant asked.Rhaega smirked and said, “Indeed, the King of the North is interesting. He’s willing to owe me a favor for his woman. Quick, get going.”“Right away, sir!” The deputy nodded and left the command center.…After resolving the equipme

Ian felt humiliated as his subordinates quickly helped him up from the ground. They pointed at Xayne and rebuked him.“Are you insane?! How dare you attack Mr. Ian?!”“You’re just a scumbag, so don’t be so arrogant.”“He’s right! Apologize to Mr. Ian immediately! Otherwise, we’ll take matters into our own hands!”The four employees rolled up their sleeves, ready for action. Meanwhile, Xayne observed them, huffing as he said disdainfully, “Do you think you can even touch me?”A strong killing intent filled the air, causing the four employees to step back instinctively.‘What a potent aura! Why is his gaze so horrifying?!’They all turned to look at Ian, and he pushed aside his subordinate standing before him. Ian roared, “You’re dead, Xayne! We’re no longer in the Xavier Corporation, nor are you the general manager of Serenco. This company isn’t yours. I’ll kill you if you lay your hands on me again!”Xayne chuckled as he casually lit a cigarette and blew the smoke at Ian, sayin

Three young thugs overturned the fruit stand and smashed the fruits to pieces.Danny fell to the ground as tears streamed down his face. He looked at the scattered fruits, heartbroken, as he shouted, “Rocky, please stop! I beg you. That’s our only source of income.”He knelt and kowtowed to Rocky. The fruits were all he had to support his family of four. He had two children, one in high school and the other in middle school.“Where’s the money, damn it!” Rocky menacingly asked as he kicked Danny and then stepped on his chest.Danny’s wife took a tightly wrapped bundle of money from the stand. She rushed to him and dropped to the ground, pleading and crying, “H-Here… Here’s all we have, Rocky. Please stop kicking my husband.”Rocky snatched the money and realized it was all in small notes, so he had to count them individually.Danny watched as he cried in pain, “Please, that’s for our daughter’s education funds. Please give us two more days. I swear I’ll have the money by then!”

Becca could not help but glance at Xayne. She thought he was handsome and seemed a little too easygoing.Her tone carried a sense of resentment toward him as she said, “Bull leads the underground forces in our area. People have scorned and harassed my family because you disappeared for five years.“Now that you’ve finally returned, you’ve offended Bull. That means trouble for us. Once you leave, Bull will come looking for us.”Danny and his family used to live happy lives, but things turned out poorly for them because of the Xaviers. Becca could not understand why her father continued to search for Xayne for so long, even accumulating so much debt.“Becce, why are you talking to Xayne like that? He used to play with you when you were little,” Danny scolded reproachfully.Xayne chuckled and said, “Becca’s right, Mr. Danny. You and your family wouldn’t be in this situation if it weren’t for me and my family.”“At least you know you’re wrong!” Becca added and then stomped away.“Be
