"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
Yvonne's mind went completely blank; she could hardly believe what she had just heard."That's right—I was the one who prepared that bottle of red wine," her boss said.Upon receiving verbal confirmation, Yvonne was instantly overwhelmed with mixed emotions. She didn't know what to say."What? You have a problem with that?"Upon noticing her boss' tone, Yvonne quickly replied, "No, no! I wouldn't dare! My life is yours, after all. So, of course, I wouldn't have a problem with something like this."Yvonne had once been left destitute, and it was her boss who had taken her in and given her a second chance at life. As such, she was not exaggerating when she said that."Don't overthink it. Felix and I are simply not meant to be, but it's only fair that I give him a little something since he's my fiancé."A woman like you will be utterly unattainable to him in the future. When we finally meet one day, he'll know that he should be content."Yvonne could only take it with a bitter smi
"You want to pursue Ms. Summers?" Belle asked.Joshua nodded with a serious look. "That's right.""You do know that she's the first goddess of war in Dragonia and the dream girl of most men, right? What makes you think you are qualified to pursue her?"Joshua already had an answer prepared for this question."I'll let you in on something. My uncle is the chief of Dragon Alliance's Lawson Clinic, and I'm not too shabby myself, being the vice president of Stellar Group and all. Is that not good enough?"Belle was slightly taken aback."To be honest, your position as vice president of Stellar Group isn't worth mentioning, but your uncle's position does mean something."As Xena's deputy, needless to say, Belle knew how powerful Dragon Alliance was. That faction was where hidden talents thrived, and being one of the chiefs for Dragon Alliance was quite a feat."Before I help you, you should know something. If you can't even handle the matter, don't think about pursuing her," Belle s
Felix stood at the entrance of an alley at around 7:00 pm with a confused look.He stood at the location Sasha had given him, but no matter how much he looked around, the place didn't seem like there would be a restaurant there."Felix."In less than a minute, Sasha appeared."Is the restaurant here?" Felix asked.Sasha answered with a smile, "Yes, there's a fondue restaurant here that's been around for years. The food is really good."Fondue? Felix wasn't going to question it. It didn't matter what they ate. He'd be grateful as long as Sasha would stop bothering him.As they turned the corner into the alley, the fragrant aroma of food hit them, instantly increasing his appetite.There was indeed a fondue restaurant nestled in the alley. There was even a line of people waiting to be seated at the entrance."Don't we need to line up?" Felix was puzzled when he saw Sasha walk right in."No need. I've known the owner for a long time and reserved a table ahead of time."The rest
Felix didn't give Sasha's behavior much thought.After all, Sasha was used to being pampered by Nattie, and with this being a sort of farewell, she was likely in a bad mood. Felix thought it was only natural for her to be a bit temperamental."It seems you two prefer to suffer the consequences rather than do things the easy way."The men in black surrounded them, and Felix raised his hand."Guys, running a small business isn't easy for these folks. If you have any problems with me, let's settle them outside."Seeing Felix head outside, Sasha breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally taken the bait.Just now, she had acted out of desperation. It would have been a big problem if Felix had truly abandoned her. Thankfully, everything was back on track.There were only a dozen or so bodyguards. It also seemed like their employer hadn't shown up yet.Since Felix didn't want to cause trouble, he suggested, "How about you let us finish our meal first, and we'll leave right after?""He
They were Kane's men? Felix slapped the burly man, sending him straight to the ground."The rest of you, clean this place up quietly. Otherwise, don't expect to leave here unharmed."There was no way they were actually Kane's men—his men would have recognized Felix. If they were indeed Kane's men, they would be fools.Felix's smack didn't seem all that frightening, but how he broke the bat was so intimidating that the remaining men quickly started cleaning up the place.A few moments later, they stood in the garden, none daring to meet Felix's gaze."Who sent you?"At that moment, a car abruptly pulled up at the gate, and a few armed men got out."There's been a report of an assault here. Everyone, stay where you are, and don't move!"As if their saviors had arrived, the thugs all pointed at Felix."It was him!""That's right! He attacked us for no reason. We don't even know if our friend is dead or alive."The guns were quickly pointed at Felix. The leader then made a hand
"I'll send you the relevant information right now." Joshua hung up the phone before stretching lazily."Handling one measly martial artist is too easy."Joshua believed that Xena's fiancé was just some loser, so it was only natural for Xena not to care about him.To Joshua, this issue could already be considered resolved. Even if they decided it was excessive self-defense, Felix would still get a few years in prison.At the Phoenix Legion base, Belle entered the interrogation room where Felix was being held with a tablet in hand."Felix, do you know why you were brought here?"Felix stared at Belle expressionlessly. "If I find out that you're involved in this, not even Xena can save you."Belle immediately grew anxious at his words."Are you really threatening me right now, Felix? Can't you see where we are? Do you really think you can leave here unscathed just because of your meager connections with Ms. Summers?"With that, she placed the tablet on the table."The person you
The anxious and hesitant Belle couldn't help but take the risk and ask, "Milady, w-why has Mr. Holt Senior suddenly come to the Phoenix Legion base?""He's here to see Colonel Bradley Sutton. It turns out that Bradley's grandfather was Mr. Holt Senior's comrade-in-arms. I just found out about this as well."Belle instantly felt a great sense of relief, like the weight on her shoulders had suddenly been lifted.She had been terrified moments ago, thinking Ernest came specifically because of Felix, which would have caused a major problem.Not long after, a car slowly pulled up, and Ernest stepped out with his bodyguard, Jairo Acosta.Not only did Xena and Belle rush forward to greet Ernest, but a sharp-eyed middle-aged man also approached.That man was none other than Bradley Sutton, a highly influential figure and a colonel in the Phoenix Legion."Mr. Holt Senior!"Seeing Bradley's salute, Ernest said with a smile, "I'm retired now. No need for salutes."Bradley's eyes were fil
