Flame King’s robust physique was evident when he removed his Red Flame suit. He stared at Xayne and casually cracked his neck, saying indifferently, “Let me see if the former Supreme Commander of the Northern Plains is as mighty as they say.”Xayne squinted as he gazed at Flame King. “You’re no match for me.”Flame King chuckled with a trace of anger in his eyes. “I guess we’ll find out.”Immediately after, an explosion echoed as Flame King’s figure disappeared. Suddenly, his fist appeared before Xayne at the speed of light, showcasing his speed as a Supreme Commander. Even Legend Warriors could not see the attack, not to mention ordinary people.However, Xayne simply leaned to the side to dodge the punch. Although he countered with a right hook, Flame King dodged it. The latter smirked, saying, “Excellent, you’re a worthy opponent.”Xayne calmly gazed at Flame King, observing as the latter jumped around. Suddenly, Flame King dashed forward again and executed a chop kick at Xayne’

Flame King sneered. “I never thought I’d lose. But don’t celebrate too early, Xayne. You’ll be betraying the emperor and Drakonia if you kill me now.”Xayne frowned, his voice cold, “I won’t kill you because you’re the current Supreme Commander of Northern Plains. However, you must promise me one thing.”“What is it?” Flame King asked with his face covered in blood.“I want to bring Ace, his brothers, and Red Rose away from here.”Flame King frowned. After some thought, he agreed, “Fine, you have your wish.”Finally, Xayne’s immense killing intent faded.Flame King lay on the ground and looked toward the sky, saying, “I never expected to meet such a talented individual. You’re only in your twenties, yet you’ve already reached such a level. Indeed, your strength is monstrous.“However, there are many more who are stronger than us, Xayne. Being a Supreme Commander is far from the peak.”Xayne’s gaze turned cold as he asked, “What are you trying to say?”Flame King chuckled. “I’v

Warren sighed and continued, “That brings us to the Heavenly Tome.”Xavier frowned.“This extraordinary book has been passed down for thousands of years, documenting many mysteries. Rumor has it that possessing the tome can help one rule the world. Your family was the guardians of the book, which was why the Big Four conspired against them.”Warren was full of regret and anger as he continued, “The Big Four framed your grandfather during Drakonix’s upheaval years ago. In a fit of rage, the emperor stripped your grandfather of his title and imprisoned him.“Drakonix’s officials pleaded for Xander, but the Big Four rejected them. It resulted in the massacre that occurred at the emperor’s pavilion. The officials who knelt before the pavilion were executed.“That night, Xander disappeared from prison. His fate remains unknown. Rumor has it the Big Four persecuted him that night. Still, the outcome is that your once-prominent family collapsed overnight and received a thorough investiga

Immediately after, seven mercenaries emerged from the woods with submachine guns. They then cautiously surrounded the heavily damaged vehicle. One approached and inspected it, frowning in fear as he exclaimed, “Captain, no one’s in the car!”"What?! No one?!" The captain was terrified.In the blink of an eye, an overwhelming battle intent shot forth from a distance. Xayne's Ravenclaw Dagger pierced through one of the mercenaries' chests.Bang, bang, bang!The remaining six mercenaries fired their guns into the distance, shattering the bushes and trees. However, no one was there. Suddenly, a figure leaped down from a tree, grabbed the captain’s neck, and snapped it.Xayne then picked up the dead captain’s submachine gun and used him as a human shield as the remaining five turned to fire at him.Bang, bang, bang!Xayne killed the five men. He looked on as the seven men lay on the ground, feeling a chill run down his spine. It seemed someone had planned an ambush on him. He approac

Flame King’s expression turned solemn as she said, “I understand. You may leave.”“Yes, sir,” the deputy replied before leaving.Flame King remained seated as his gaze turned sharp. He directed his voice toward the door, “Since you’re here, come in and take a seat.”Xayne slowly appeared at the door and entered with a murderous aura. He stood before Flame King, asking coldly, “Did you send those mercenaries?”Flame King did not hide it. “Indeed, I did.”“Why?” Xayne asked.“Because you’re the former King of the North.”“You know, you can’t kill me even if you relied on those mercenaries.”“I know, but I’d like to try.”“Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you right now?”“You wouldn’t dare.”“Why not?”“Because you have a wife and child. Killing me will be a crime of treason, and all of Drakonia will condemn you. Your wife, child, and those you cherish will become enemies of the nation because of you.” Flame King smirked, already determining that Xayne would not dare harm him.Xay
