Chapter 1133

Author: Dreamy Fire
Curiosity was a natural instinct, and Felix was no exception—especially when it came to the Ancient Sage, who had lived for so many years and bore such a striking resemblance to Gerald.

Sarah said, "I can tell you with absolute certainty—the Ancient Sage is not Gerald."

"What?" Felix had braced himself for any revelation, but this still hit like a punch to the gut. The shock flooded through him, leaving him speechless as he stood frozen on the spot.

Sarah continued, "Forget it. Maybe I was overthinking before. You've made it to Martial City and become a Grandmaster all on your own, completing that impossible task. I guess your mental resilience is stronger than I thought, so knowing this early might not be a bad thing after all."

She tapped her fingers lightly against her back, her gaze distant with memories.

"That guy who came after you just now—Ashton—is one of the Ancient Sage's Eight Guardians. Those eight have served him for years, practically his right and left hands."

    Just as Sarah had observed, Felix had already adjusted his mindset. Thinking about things within his grasp was fine, but obsessing over matters beyond his control would be nothing short of foolish.As night fell, Felix arrived in Notura City. With the rising number of disappearances and deaths here, he figured it would not be solved in just a day or two. This time, he would need a bit of luck.Opening a clinic would work. After all, spending all day in one place would make it impossible to stumble upon anything.Since his Ethereal Constitution had been successfully formed, he did not need to train deliberately, and the Phaeron Codex was progressing steadily on its own. So, with plenty of free time, Felix decided to find a more flexible job. Wandering the streets or aimlessly driving around would not get him far.Before long, Felix arrived at the three-story villa Xena had arranged in a quiet neighborhood. After punching in the code and stepping inside, he called out."Finally! I c

    Billy was clearly in too much of a hurry. He blurted out, "It's a coincidence! Pure coincidence! Here—I'm not gonna take advantage of you for nothing. Take this book and study it. It'll give you a solid foundation in soul-related knowledge."With that, Billy tossed a worn, coverless book onto the table and bolted like a madman, as if the Phaeron Codex might vanish if he did not get there in time.Felix still had his doubts, but his curiosity shifted toward the book. He sat down, opened it, and began reading.It did not take long for him to realize he had struck gold. The book's contents revealed the mysteries of the soul with stunning clarity, finally pulling him out of the dark."Wait... there are so many levels when it comes to the soul? Did I just jump straight to the higher ranks?"With the successful formation of his Ethereal Constitution, his soul had already surpassed most who spent years training. Even those with natural talent would struggle to reach this stage so quickly

    The man shouted, "Take her!"Felix stood to the side, looking a bit helpless. Suzie's kind gesture made him feel somewhat guilty, so he spoke up without hesitation. "How much for her first time?"The man with green hair chuckled. "You're just a broke loser who eats street food. Dreaming about playing with a beauty like her? Get lost."Felix retorted, "How much? What if I can actually pay?"The green-haired man sneered, though curiosity flickered in his eyes. "100 thousand dollars! Now get the hell out."Felix calmly pulled out his phone. "How much to buy her freedom completely?"The man's smile instantly vanished. The next second, he grabbed Felix by the collar, shoving him back as he snarled, "You just can't take a hint, can you? You really want to get your face smashed in?"Felix's expression remained unfazed. In his eyes, problems that could be solved with money were not real problems."I'll pay 200 thousand dollars for her first time. Give me your account number, and I'll

    Felix was irritated—after all, who would not be with a gun pointed at their head? Of course, for most people, the feeling would be sheer terror.Still, he did not act recklessly. In Dragonia, guns were mostly carried by law enforcement, and he did not want to risk harming an undercover officer by mistake. To his surprise, the person holding the gun was Milo. He remembered her well from the days of the Martial Arts Competition—she was a close friend of Ronan's.He blurted out, "Milo?"Milo closed the door and lowered the gun, her expression as calm as ever. She wore simple jeans and a T-shirt, and the sword she was once known for was nowhere in sight."Never thought our first meeting after your return would be under circumstances like this," he added.Once Milo confirmed that it was Felix, she let out a small sigh and stated, "Ronan—" Felix raised a hand to cut her off. "Don't worry about Ronan. I promise he'll come back safe in a year. He's with my sister now. Other than losin

    As soon as Milo left, Suzie hesitated for a moment before speaking nervously. "I'm sorry, sir. Did I make your girlfriend misunderstand? I can explain everything to her if you want."She had only caught a few glimpses of Milo but already felt completely out of place. With that kind of beauty and presence, Milo was the kind of woman who could leave others breathless—maybe only someone like her was truly worthy of a good man like Felix.Felix replied, "It's fine. Besides, she's not my girlfriend."A few minutes later, the guy with Eddy showed up, perfectly embodying the phrase "money talks". His eager, bootlicking smile was not fake—it was the real deal."Sir, is Suzie refusing to cooperate?" he asked, shooting Suzie a nasty glare. If Felix had not been there, he probably would have gone straight to roughing her up.Felix replied, "No. Suzie told me she owes you guys money. With the interest, it's up to half a million now, right? I already paid 200 thousand—I'll cover the remaining

    Eddy froze, completely thrown off by the question. However, he did not dare delay, quickly responding, "Mr. Bennett, wasn't it half a million dollars?"Draco let out a cold snort. "Pathetic. You're so short-sighted. I know exactly what happened."That stranger forked over half a million to buy Suzie's freedom—someone willing to pay that much without hesitation definitely has more. And you just handed over the contract without trying to squeeze a single extra dime out of him? What a damn waste."So that was what this was about. Eddy was even more confused now—if they demanded more, he figured Felix would realize what they were doing. Plus, Suzie knew the exact amount of the debt."Tomorrow, take some guys and bring Suzie back," Draco ordered, his tone sharp. "That kid's a walking goldmine. I want to see how much more we can milk out of that rich idiot."Eddy's stomach twisted with unease. Summoning some courage, he said, "Mr. Bennett, that guy dropped half a million without blinkin

    Felix thought Milo's explanation made sense. They chatted for a little while longer before Milo left Notura City.After she was gone, Felix sat at home, deep in thought. Since the Malevolent Phantoms's hunting ground was clearly hotels, maybe Eddy could actually be useful. Felix could not be everywhere at once, and without any pattern to the Malevolent Phantoms's hotel selection—even small motels had been targeted—there were simply too many places to cover.He mumbled, "It looks like it's time to implement my plan. I need a job that allows me to work in hotels."The only job that came to mind was food delivery. Delivery drivers had access to hotels, motels, and inns across the city without raising suspicion.Just as Felix was stepping out, his phone buzzed with a call from an unknown number. Confused, he answered."Hello, sir," said the voice on the other end. "This is about the payment you made last night at the barbecue stand. There seems to be an issue. Could you come by for

    Felix had not planned on responding at first. After all, what he did back then was just a spur-of-the-moment decision—he never expected any kind of reward or follow-up.Nonetheless, now that an A-tier Malevolent Phantom was in the picture, it seemed that Eunice might actually come in handy. So, he asked, "You're probably someone with status here in Notura City, right?" Eunice froze for a moment before quickly responding with sincerity, "I'd say I have some influence, but if you need something, I'll do everything I can to help."Felix replied, "I'm Felix Zeller."Hearing his name, Eunice could not help but feel a little excited. This had never happened before—men were always the ones approaching her first, but this time, the roles were completely reversed.Felix added, "If you want to repay me, it's really simple. Do you know any big shots in Notura City's underground scene?"The underground scene? Eunice's mind went blank for a second. She felt like Felix was not playing by any

    When Eira and Luigi saw that Felix was determined to go through with it, they moved instantly. Appearing right in front of him, they dropped to their knees."Please, Felix! For the sake of all those innocent lives, stop.""If you're really set on taking this flame, then kill us first."Seeing the two of them so resolute, Felix hesitated. The lives of hundreds of thousands—maybe even millions—now hung in the balance, all dependent on one decision from him."I haven't known you for long," Eira continued. "But from the way you avenged the 200 people of Innswood Village, I know you're not someone who kills without reason. You'd never turn a blind eye to the lives of ordinary people. "Please show them mercy. They've already suffered enough."Tears streamed down her face. The purpose of The Recovery Association was clear—overthrow the Flame Monarch, destroy the Nine Flames, and return Aquamarinus to what it once was. However, when it came to principles and morals, they were unwaveri

    Felix thought that Gerald's advice really was spot-on. If he hadn't achieved Extreme Mastery, he could still beat the Flame Monarch. However, his subsequent journey would have been difficult. Winning first place in the Rank-Ascending Competition to protect Earth would've been almost impossible.With a casual wave of Felix's hand, the Flame Monarch collapsed to the ground. Thankfully, no one was around to see it. Otherwise, they'd have been scared out of their minds.The most powerful being on Aquamarinus, the Flame Monarch, just got instantly wiped out by Felix. To Felix, it was like crushing an ant and required no effort at all."It's time to complete the mission," Felix said.Just like that, he vanished. His speed was insane because Nine Flames were all scattered far apart. Since travel was banned at night, he couldn't afford to waste even a second.Honestly, he was curious what it would be like to go out at night. However, after thinking it over, he decided it just wasn't worth

    Under the sunlight, Innswood Village looked even lonelier. If it weren't for Felix standing in the open field, the place would've looked like a dead town. Soon, a sound broke through the silent air. A person stood 30 feet in front of Felix. It was the Flame Monarch, whom Felix had met once."I really thought you were a member of The Recovery Association and that you'd laid a trap here. But it turns out, you're really alone."Felix replied, "I am a member of The Recovery Association, but why do I need a trap to kill you?"Oh? A member of The Recovery Association? The Flame Monarch smiled. "You're really brave, you know. You're the first person in Aquamarinus who dares to face me like this. Even the leader of The Recovery Association had been in seclusion, trying to reach Heavenly Realm before facing me."I don't know where you get your confidence from."Initially, Felix wanted to attack immediately. But he still had questions to ask. "There are only the two of us here. Sinc

    The next morning, Felix rushed back to Innswood Village. Just as he arrived, the Flame Monarch brought people to the Green King's Manor."Joaquin is dead?"The Green King quickly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty. The content of my letter is true. I wonder if you still remember that doctor, Felix Zeller?"The Flame Monarch rubbed his chin, and a man appeared in his mind. "Of course, I do!" Then, he burst into laughter. "I didn't expect him to hide so much strength that you aren't even worthy of being his opponent."The Green King looked a little unwilling. "We only exchanged a few moves. If it had been a true fight, the winner would be uncertain. I only let him go because I was worried the entire Cloud City would be affected."A smile appeared on the Flame Monarch's face. He seemed to find this amusing. "How interesting. A doctor suddenly seemed to have gained the strength of an Earthly Realm martial artist. It seems like he has a lot of secrets!"Are you sure he went back to Innswood

    No one dared to stop Felix from leaving. After all, they all saw how Joaquin died. If the Green King didn't make a move, who else could?Everyone in the yard stayed silent even after Felix disappeared, especially the Green King. He couldn't believe that a doctor had surpassed even himself! That was simply incredible!He was in Earthly Realm. How many people on Aquamarinus had even reached Earthly Realm? Taking Felix's age into account, it was simply unbelievable."Your Excellency…" Dave spoke up first, and the Green King immediately snapped back into reality. He walked out with a dark expression without another word."Dad, is there a chance that Felix can survive?" Ginny suddenly asked. Gras shook his head with a bitter smile. "I don't know… At their level, it'll be like a fight between gods. Let's head back."A fight between gods? Ginny sighed. That truly seemed to be the case. Who could've thought that Felix was this amazing?…As night fell, Felix was in a room of an inn

    Gras and the rest breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed like the Green King intended to protect Felix. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked such a question. After all, it all happened in Innswood Village, with no eyewitnesses.As long as Felix denied it, it would be impossible to trace. However, Felix nodded. "Yeah, I killed Caesar. He massacred over 200 people in Innswood Village. Doesn't he deserve to die?"The answer caught everyone off guard, but Joaquin gritted his teeth in anger. "How brave of you to admit it!"To be honest, even he wasn't expecting Felix to admit it. Everyone had clearly heard it, so it would be impossible for him to argue.The Green King looked helpless. Was Felix just incredibly stubborn? It was clear he was trying to help. Could Felix not see it?"Dave, take Felix away! We'll wait for the Flame Monarch to decide his fate."A member of the Royal Guards had been killed, and Felix admitted to killing him. No matter what strength Felix had hidden, it was no l

    Ginny's face was full of disbelief. Just then, everything clicked. She finally understood how Felix came back alive.He had simply hidden his strength. Were there people who practiced both medicine and martial arts? Of course, there were, but there were only a few. And most of them could only excel in one aspect, yet Felix was great in both.The Transcendent Realm martial artists were killed without even reaching Felix. This meant that Felix was at least in Grandmaster Realm. Now, the possibility of Caesar being dead grew much higher.Joaquin, who had been writhing on the ground, almost forgot his pain. He never thought that a mere doctor could be a terrifying martial artist. Why did the Goldsteins mess with someone like this?"Dr. Zeller, you've already killed my son… Please spare the Goldsteins…" Joaquin lowered his head in reverence. There was no other way. He still had his wife and children. He couldn't sacrifice everything."Do you feel the pain now? Caesar slaughtered over

    Gras's and Ryker's expressions were full of confusion. It looked as if they had seen a ghost. After all, Felix should've died against Caesar, yet he was here, standing by them, and alive!The half-dead messenger really wanted to thank Felix right now. He didn't lie!As Joaquin came back to reality, his panic dissipated. He turned to Felix unwillingly and said, "Humph! What kind of trick did you play on Caesar for him to let you come back alive?"Felix just looked at Joaquin. "Oh? That's what you think?"Joaquin snorted coldly, his eyes full of pride. "Nonsense! Of course! Did my son ask you to apologize to me first before deciding how to deal with you? If that's the case, then I support him as his father."Kneel. Kneel and apologize. Then, you can think about how to appease me."Felix burst out laughing, shaking his head. "You truly have an indescribable confidence in your son, Joaquin. Let me tell you the truth. Caesar has committed great crimes, and I've sent him on his way. I

    Joaquin slapped the messenger to the ground while shouting, "Bullshit! Felix is a dead man. How could he come back on horseback? If you dare spew nonsense again, I'll cut off your tongue!"The messenger was terrified, quickly covering his face in fear. However, he still muttered, "But several people saw him. It was Felix…"Joaquin was so angry that he went straight up to the messenger and beat him up. Gras, Ginny, and Ryker turned to look at one another. To be honest, they couldn't believe it, either. Even if what the messenger said was true, it was still odd.After all, Felix went against Caesar, who was a martial artist in the Grandmaster Realm. How could he survive that? At the same time, in the Green King Manor, Dave came rushing into the yard, where the Green King was admiring the flowers."Your Excellency, I just got the report that Felix has entered the city."The Green King held a beautiful flower, admiring it without a care. His expression didn't change much despite the
