Chapter 118

Author: Dreamy Fire
"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

    Xena began, "Mr. Holt Senior, I can assure you that the Phoenix Legion would never…"Ernest shot Xena a sharp glance before she could finish her sentence."Xena, you're still young. There are some things you shouldn't speak about so definitively. There is a difference between not knowing something and not revealing something."Just as Xena was about to make another firm statement, Belle piped up, "I'm sorry, Mr. Holt Senior. S-something like that did happen. I just found out about it as well."Xena abruptly turned to Belle, looking as if she wanted to devour the latter."Do you know what you're saying?"Belle, filled with fear, replied, "Y-yes, it's true. And the person who was taken is Felix Zeller."Right then, Ernest patted Bradley on the shoulder."Let's head to your office, Brad. I'll be leaving right after. I'm not as energetic as I used to be now that I'm older."After they left, Xena had a grim look on her face."Speak! Tell me everything, down to the last detail!"I

    Ginny was naturally present as well, and she spoke up at that moment. "Mr. Goldstein, no one wanted to see Justus die like that. But why did you bring your people to Longstone residence? Are you suggesting that his sudden death has something to do with us?"Joaquin's expression grew darker as he looked at her. He blamed Ginny for this, thinking that none of this would have happened if she had just agreed earlier. And now, they couldn't even determine the cause of death."No connection? That doctor from your household, Felix Zeller—he's the one responsible for Justus' death."Right then, someone spoke up from the crowd. "That's him! That's Felix Zeller!"Felix, who had been calmly sitting in a chair, finally saw Wagner standing among them. And in that moment, everything made sense."Wagner? You've gotten quite bold, huh?" Gras sneered.Wagner flinched at Gras's words, but remembering that he now had the Goldsteins backing him, he stiffened his spine and stood tall. "Cut the crap

    In Cloud City, there were a few noble families. Nonetheless, behind the polite smiles, tensions surged. Infiltrating each other's estates with spies had practically become a tradition. While they rarely uncovered major secrets, the information they did gather always gave them a head start.So when the news broke, Gras didn't doubt it for a second. He jumped to his feet, furious. "This is outrageous! Their son dies, and somehow it's the Longstone family's fault?"Ryker looked just as puzzled, agreeing that the accusation made no sense.But Felix let out a quiet, weary sigh. "Mr. Longstone, I'm afraid this is probably my fault. I'm a doctor, and I've gotten a bit of attention lately. After they failed to determine the cause of Justus' death, and given our meeting earlier today, they likely saw an opportunity to drag your family into the mess." Gras's expression darkened, knowing that Felix wasn't wrong. After all, doctors could also be poisoners, and plenty of martial artists had fa

    It was clear someone had said something to Justus. Otherwise, this situation wouldn't have escalated to this point.Felix said calmly, "It was a standard therapeutic massage technique, and I was blindfolded the entire time. Does that explanation satisfy you? Or would you rather find someone else capable of treating Ms. Longstone—I'll gladly step aside if you can."Justus sneered, his eyes filled with disdain. "Cut the crap, Felix. Don't act like I don't know exactly what's going through your head. Ginny's the heiress of the Longstone residence—Gras's precious jewel. Everyone knows that marrying her is like securing the entire household. Don't tell me that thought never crossed your mind.""It didn't," Felix said simply.Unfortunately, that answer was never going to satisfy Justus. He snarled, "Listen up, boy! I'm giving you three days to get the hell out of the Longstone residence. If you don't, you won't even get the chance to regret it. Everyone else might be afraid of Gras—but I

    As Wagner watched Justus explode in rage, he felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction. With what he'd just uncovered, there was no need to exaggerate—it was already explosive enough on its own.After all, Justus' future fiancée was touched in that kind of intimate way by a young, healthy doctor. Any man with a spine would lose it."But Justus," Wagner added with a smirk. "Didn't Felix just get publicly praised by the Green King?"Cloud City wasn't that big. Anyone with any influence had been keeping close tabs on Green King Manor—especially with the mystery man who walked out of Desolated Lands involved. So, the news of Felix being rewarded had already spread far and wide.Justus clenched his jaw. "So what? It's just a flash in the pan. If he was truly skilled, the Green King would've kept him. But as long as he hasn't climbed into the Green King's inner circle, I can crush him whenever I want."Wagner's grin widened. That was exactly the attitude he needed. If Justus had shown

    The moment the Flame Monarch mentioned the Healer Sage, the Green King's expression shifted noticeably. "So the Sage really was living out there in seclusion... No wonder. Flame Monarch, does this mean you've taken a liking to Felix?"But the Flame Monarch waved his hand dismissively. "There's no need for that."That response made the Green King secretly rejoice. If the Flame Monarch didn't intend to recruit Felix, then he understood why—and that was perfect. It meant the opportunity to take Felix under his own wing was wide open.The night passed quietly. Felix stood beside Christopher's bedside, noticing the man's breathing had grown steady and stable.At this point, the herb had run its course and was no longer effective. But what was left inside Christopher's soul—a strange, lingering force—was exactly what Felix had hoped for.Christopher was alive but completely unconscious. The remaining energy had no regenerative properties, which meant he'd likely never wake again. For Fe

    Felix wasn't the least bit surprised by the Flame Monarch's reaction, but he still feigned confusion. "Flame Monarch, I'm sorry... but I don't understand. What do you mean by soul-related injuries?"Just from that single line, Felix confirmed what he suspected—Aquamarinus had no concept of soul-based matters. Whether it was training methods or anything else, this realm hadn't yet touched that domain.The Flame Monarch stared at him, pressure radiating from his body. Felix immediately felt his limbs start to tremble under the invisible weight."You don't know? Then how could you claim to treat that man's condition?" Felix calmly pointed toward the herbs laid out on the table. "The force inside him is definitely strange. It triggered a memory... I once sensed something very similar, and it came from within that herb. It was purely instinct—when something feels familiar, there's a chance it might work."The Flame Monarch shifted his gaze to the herb, then said flatly, "Start from th

    Felix gave him a direct and honest answer. "As long as I have enough herbs. I can treat him. I won't promise a full recovery, but one thing I can guarantee you is that this man won't die."For now, that was the best possible answer anyone could offer.The Flame Monarch replied, "Good. Begin. As long as you can keep him alive, you'll be handsomely rewarded."It seemed the Flame Monarch already knew something and never truly expected anyone to completely cure Christopher. Preserving his life alone would already be a feat."Flame Monarch, please reconsider!" one of the elderly doctors suddenly cut in, seething with resentment. "This boy is barely grown—how could he possibly possess such remarkable skill in medicine?"The Flame Monarch turned and gave him a cold, mocking glance. "If he can't do it, then can you?"The old man went silent. Perhaps fearing the loss of favor or acting out of sheer pride, he hesitated. Eventually, he found the courage to speak again."I admit I can't, bu

    The Green King's expression changed instantly, and he turned to Felix in a hurry. "Dr. Zeller, please come with me to greet him.""Of course," Felix replied.For anyone in Aquamarinus, getting the chance to see the Flame Monarch up close was like a once-in-a-lifetime dream, and people would probably die happy just for that. Naturally, Felix put on a show of reverence as well, even if he didn't feel it deep down.As they reached the front gate, Felix saw several figures striding toward them with heavy steps. At the front of the group was a towering man, nearly nine feet tall. Even someone as built as Dave looked like a delicate bystander next to him.What stood out the most was his bright crimson hair, which flared upward like flames, making it look like his head was on fire. His facial features were fairly average, but the power behind his gaze radiated pure, undeniable authority.So, this was the Flame Monarch?Felix studied him closely. He suspected the man had cultivated some

    According to the rules set by the Flame Monarch, the position of Minor Kings rotated every five years. Those who made outstanding contributions could keep their titles, but anyone who fell short would have to fight for their place all over again.The Green King knew he wasn't particularly strong—he was painfully aware of that. And with the next year marking the fifth year, the pressure was mounting fast. So when Christopher appeared, it felt like fate. If he could heal this man before the Flame Monarch arrived with his elite doctors, the credit would be immense, and his reappointment would be virtually guaranteed. Anyone who had never held a Minor King title wouldn't understand just how many perks came with it. If they did, no one would give it up willingly."I can treat him," Felix said calmly. "But I can't promise a full recovery."The Green King smiled. "Do your best. Even if you can only keep him alive, that alone is worth it."Two doctors before had said that Christopher's b
