Alex was terrified. He immediately shouted at Warren, "Warren! Are you out of your mind? How dare you speak to Mr. Zeller like that? You're the one who should get out!"Then, he hurried over to Felix, his attitude groveling. "I'm really sorry, Mr. Zeller. This is one of my clients. Please don't mind him."However, Felix only looked at Warren. His eyes were full of guilt. "I'm really sorry, Uncle Warren. I'll wait for you outside. I owe you an explanation."After saying this, Felix turned and walked out, leaving Alex standing there, dumbfounded.Uncle Warren? Felix, the holder of the Supreme Black Card, was addressing Warren as "Uncle Warren"? What was going on?"Humph! I'd like to see what kind of explanation you think you can give," Warren muttered.Seeing Warren head for the door, Alex quickly came to his senses and grabbed hold of him. "Warren! Y-You know Mr. Zeller? Why didn't you say so earlier?"Consider your loan approved. No, I'll get you a one-billion-dollar loan right
Before leaving, Warren added one last condition. "If you can't make this happen, publicly declare that we have nothing to do with each other. Make it a clean break, and don't come near me again."Warren mentioned the partnership on purpose. Stellar Group's visit to Avesburgh and their plan to build a city within a city in the suburbs were genuine. Everyone in the business world knew about that.However, their prestige was unmatched. Ranked tenth in Dragonia, Stellar Group was far beyond Kane's reach. For Felix, it was an impossible task.Warren's real aim was to sever ties with Felix completely to prevent any potential danger to his family in the future.Money was secondary to him. As long as he had enough to get by, it was sufficient.Having accepted the deal, Felix wasted no time and rushed to Kane's place. "Kane, have you heard of Stellar Group?"Kane nodded. "Yes, I've heard of them. They're the tenth-ranked company in Dragonia. You can probably imagine just how significant t
By late morning the next day, both Xena and Belle were seated in a private dining room at a restaurant in Avesburgh."Milady, according to the intel, the president of Stellar Group was supposed to attend. However, our team at the airport confirmed that only the vice president arrived. Is it still necessary for you to host this lunch?"Xena chuckled. "Don't say that. Stellar Group is ranked tenth in all of Dragonia, and they're investing here in my hometown. As the host, it's only right to treat them to a meal. "Besides, others might not know, but you surely know that Stellar Group is just the smallest of that person's companies."That person? Belle suddenly remembered and immediately smiled."I understand now, milady. You're extending this courtesy more because of that person's influence. Though I must say, Stellar Group's president is quite the mystery. No one even knows their name yet. If you'd let me investigate further, I'm sure we could uncover it."Xena shot her a playfu
"Felix! Are you blind? Can't you see the car coming?" Belle shouted.Felix's face darkened. "This is a residential area. Even if a car is coming, basic courtesy says the driver should give way to pedestrians. Don't you even know that much?"He was well aware that Belle was intentionally picking a fight. He had seen the car approaching from a distance, but it had suddenly sped up."You're saying I'm the rude one?" Belle laughed incredulously. "Do you think just because you're a martial artist, you can act arrogant and reckless, thinking a speeding car can't kill you?"Felix, clearly uninterested in continuing the argument, glanced at the figure in the back seat of the car. "What is it this time?"Instantly, Belle's irritation hit its peak. "Oh, my God! How can someone be so shameless? Do you really think every time Lady Summers comes to Tabiner Bay, it's to look for you?""It's better if she's not here for me."Felix made his way over to the neighborhood's artificial lake, where
Belle lost it at once. "How is this possible? Does Felix actually know Mr. Holt Senior? How?"It was utterly outrageous. Ernest held a position of immense significance. Even someone like Xena had to pay him a personal visit, let alone ordinary people."Calm down. It's just fishing. Mr. Holt Senior isn't the type to block off the entire lake for himself. Let's go."Belle felt a bit better after hearing this. Otherwise, she wouldn't know how to process the situation.Before they could get close, Jairo intercepted them. His voice was barely above a whisper, yet the two women could hear him perfectly."Mr. Holt Senior is fishing. No one is allowed to disturb him."Xena's expression shifted slightly. As expected from Ernest's personal bodyguard! Jairo's strength was undeniable, likely on par with her own."Okay. I'll wait here."As time dragged on, Belle's frustration mounted. While she and Xena stood idly by, Felix was happily fishing with Ernest. This was maddening.After over tw
Since Felix had said it was fine, Kane wouldn't reject Joshua either. "Helping with other matters is fine, but when it comes to winning over the goddess of war, that's all on you.""Don't worry, Lord Kane. I understand that Xena is out of reach, but I'm 80% confident. Anyway, once I successfully join Dragon Alliance, I will definitely remember your kindness," Joshua said.Kane suddenly caught on to a crucial point. "You're one of the people from Stellar Group who came to Avesburgh to invest? You're the vice president?"Joshua smiled. This was exactly the reaction he wanted.Although Dragon Alliance was powerful, Kane was just the deputy chief of Oasis Clinic. Meanwhile, Joshua's position as the vice president of Stellar Group was quite significant."Yes, and I'll also be the project head for the city within a city development."Kane's expression brightened instantly after hearing that."That's great! If you have decision-making power, can you do me a favor? Can we include Veloci
Yvonne could hardly believe what she had heard. She stared at Felix in disbelief. "Felix! I considered you a friend, and now you want me to strip myself?"How could he ask her to take off her clothes with such righteous conviction? It was truly disappointing.However, Felix was unfazed by her misunderstanding. He stood up and explained, "Trust me. This red wine has been mixed with a substance called Phytarone, a potent aphrodisiac. The formula for Phytarone has long been lost, and the remaining quantities are extremely rare. Do you understand what I'm saying?"Yvonne displayed her disdain as she looked at Felix. As a martial artist, she wouldn't fear him harassing her."Ha! I must say, your story is so ridiculous I almost believe it. Are you going to say that if you don't treat me, I'll end up wanting your body due to the effects of Phytarone?"She wasn't lying. The bottle of wine had indeed been gifted by her best friend—someone she had known for over a decade. There was no way
"Felix! I'm sorry. I'm really sorry for doubting you. It's my fault. Please save me!" Yvonne cried out. Seeing Yvonne approaching him, Felix sighed in resignation. "I've already told you—Phytarone is extremely potent. Even I can only guarantee treatment in the first few minutes, but now it's too late."Yvonne gritted her teeth. She knew that she was close to losing her rationality, so she made up her mind."If doing it with a man is the only way to save my life, I hope that man is you!"Right then, Yvonne's face turned bright red, and she clung to Felix as if she were an octopus. Her lips wandered clumsily on his face and her hands clutched his.Even though she couldn't control her body, her mind was clear. She was fully aware of everything she was doing at the moment.The fact that Felix could still think straight in this situation was already quite remarkable.In the end, he gave a bitter smile before carrying her.Yvonne was quite beautiful. Whether it was her appearance, f
