Hugo's brows knitted together as his deep gaze landed on Ruth."Are you saying Felix—the guy freeloading at Sasha's—has Wendy's phone number?"Ruth shrank back in fear, while Sasha stepped in to smooth things over."Hugo, I'm afraid you've misunderstood. That guy just loves to show off. If you let me explain, I'm sure we can clear things up for you."After learning about Felix's actions at Concord Bank and his presence here, Hugo let out a disdainful sneer."That's more like it. If someone like that had access to Wendy's contact, even pigs could fly!"Ivan quickly chimed in, "You're right. It was just too much of a coincidence! We almost let that bastard fool us again."Hugo patted him on the shoulder. "How dare that piece of garbage that even Sasha despises pretend to have Wendy's number? Don't you guys agree that he needs a lesson?"Ivan caught his message without fail. He had long been thinking about teaching Felix a lesson for harboring thoughts about his woman. Now that he

The Miracle Card worked in a rather straightforward way. On its flip side were multiple layers of a special coating. Each time it was retrieved, a layer would be peeled off to reveal a new phone number. This would be Gerald's latest contact information.This system seemed to have no safeguards, yet it topped any high-tech security system. Only two people in the world could process the card for its next use—Felix and Gerald. They practiced the same unique technique, which was the only method to remove the coating.By now, the little boy had arrived at the entrance of Luxe Dining. He held the Miracle Card in his hands. The previous coating had already been peeled off by Felix, thus making it ready for use.The boy hastily stopped a heavily bejeweled woman and asked, "Excuse me, ma'am. Would you like to buy this?"Disgust instantly clouded her face."Go away! Where on earth did this little beggar come from? How useless can the security be at Luxe Dining? How could they let him linger

The Phoenix Legion was a formidable force led by Xena. Apart from the highest authorities in Dragonia, the army only answered to Xena.The legion was stationed on the outskirts of Avesburgh. They occupied a vast area and were equipped with all sorts of advanced weaponry. Whenever they were deployed, victory was guaranteed.Because her unit was based here by national orders, Xena also had to reside in Avesburgh. At this moment, Xena was in her office at the headquarters of the Phoenix Legion, reviewing some documents."There's a possibility that the S-ranked fugitive group—the Menacing Four—could make an appearance in Avesburgh in the coming days? Ha! Where did these thugs get the balls to come and make a mess in my territory?"Just then, her office door swung open, and in walked her subordinate, Belle Frost. She was drop-dead gorgeous, a stunning beauty who had been under Xena for a few years now."Milady, there's news about the miracle doctor."Xena leaped to her feet. She had

At sunset, Felix stood near a café in Avesburgh. He waited by the roadside for someone to pick him up.He was in quite a good mood now. He was clad in white from head to toe, including a pair of snow-white shoes."The old man definitely did this on purpose," he muttered.This attire was Gerald's requirement, as a distinctive mark for recognition. He strongly suspected it to be a prank Gerald was pulling on him, but he ultimately had no choice in the matter.Since the Miracle Card was still in Avesburgh, it had to be the one he handed to the little boy. Its reputation and immeasurable value had to have made it an easy sell. It didn't take long at all for it to change hands.As he pondered this, a Mercedes S500 pulled up to him. The driver's door swung open, and Ivan stepped out of the car.He scanned his surroundings and reluctantly locked eyes with Felix."Felix Zeller! What are you doing here!"As per Winston's instructions, Ivan was here to pick up someone dressed entirely in

Xena couldn't believe her eyes. Ivan had gone out to welcome the miracle doctor, and there was no way the Cameron family would get something so important wrong. Didn't this mean that Felix was the miracle doctor?How could that be? Felix was so young, and the legends about the miracle doctor had already been around for decades. The timeline didn't match up.Winston was similarly confused. Who the hell was this guy that Ivan had brought in? Based on his looks alone, he couldn't be the miracle doctor.Felix didn't expect to see Xena around. He frowned when he saw her. "Why are there outsiders around?"Ivan didn't dare say anything—he knew he was bound to upset someone, no matter what he said. More importantly, he couldn't afford to offend any of the people present.Having outsiders around after summoning the miracle doctor with the Miracle Card was against the rules. Xander had been present at the Kinsley residence, but that was fine because he was also a healer."An outsider?" Xen

Before this, Winston would've demanded Felix return the Miracle Card to him so he could show it to Xena. Now, however, things were different. Felix had yet to start treating Cheryl, but he'd already diagnosed what'd happened.Even if Ivan didn't understand what Felix meant, Winston did. He knew that the Cameron family did indeed have a hidden foe who was a martial arts master. A few years ago, they'd received threats from this person, but Winston hadn't expected Cheryl to be the one to suffer from it.Naturally, he believed Felix was the real deal. He said hesitantly, "Mr. Zeller, what do you…""Tell her that I've already taken back the Miracle Card and left. Or if you feel like you've been put in a tough spot, you can just ignore her," Felix said. After that, he pulled out two silver needles. This time, the acupuncture was only a helpful tool. What would really do the work here was his skills.As he started treating Cheryl, the butler stood by, feeling like he was between a rock

Xena relaxed in that instant. She'd thought Felix was secretly some powerful medical practitioner—if that were the case, she wouldn't have known how to feel about the situation. Now, the secret was out.She herself was a martial arts master, so she understood what Winston meant. "So, that's what it's like. You guys have taken the wrong path over the years, so it's no wonder your wife hasn't gotten better. Indeed, that's not something a doctor can cure. Only martial artists can do it."Winston went along with her and said, "Yes, exactly. I didn't expect Mr. Zeller to be a martial arts master at such a young age."Her gaze turned disdainful. "A master?"How could ordinary people understand the world of martial arts? Perhaps Felix had actually reached the level of a martial artist, but how powerful could he be? In her eyes, he'd only gone from being a small-town doctor to a martial artist who wasn't half bad. It didn't make him that much worthier."Where's the Miracle Card?" she as

Felix's expression became odd. Xena was quite narcissistic, wasn't she?"You're insane." He hung up, not caring how furious Xena would be over his response. He continued resting.He and Wendy arrived at the auction venue Sunrise Bids had set up near Avesburgh, which was at a farmhouse of sorts. They got out of the car and followed someone into the venue. It had to be said that things were much more convenient with Wendy around.The farmhouse looked old on the outside, but it was well decorated on the inside. The person who greeted them was a somewhat feminine-looking middle-aged man. "Long time no see, Ms. Kinsley." "Long time no see. This is Mr. Zeller, the one I mentioned to you before. Mr. Zeller, this is Louie Storm, Sunrise Bids' person in charge for Avesburgh," Wendy said.After shaking hands, Felix got down to business. "I'm sure Ms. Kinsley has already informed you of my needs. How long will it take for you guys to acquire everything?"Louie chuckled. "I wouldn't dare

Felix knew he was not seeing things. The woman knocking on the door was definitely Donna. But considering the Webster family's status in Notura City, why would she have to be in a place like this? Moreover, why would she be meeting with five other people? It made no sense.Questions aside, the moment five people matching the target's age and gender range had gathered, Felix knew it was time to act.Rushing from the surveillance room to a spot just outside Room 303, he immediately activated his Grandmaster Realm's domain. Within this field, he could sense the presence of every living being inside.Malevolent Phantoms had a fixed pattern—they could only consume a person's soul after assuming their form and making physical contact. That meant the Phantom had to be inside the room at some point.Even though Malevolent Phantoms could suppress their energy, they still could not escape the detection of his domain, which he had tested it before.All he needed now was the final person to

The man said, "Flip the last card. No matter what it is, you'll get at least 500 dollars. If you refuse, I'm giving you a bad review. Do it right now."Since Felix had already fully committed to his food delivery role, he knew just how devastating a bad review could be. There was no choice—he had to play along. He said, "Alright."The hotel suite was filled with six people gathered around a poker table, playing Hold'em. Felix was not an expert but knew enough to understand what was happening.Four community cards had already been revealed—A, A, K, K—and the young man who pulled Felix in was demanding that he flip the final card. Judging by the stacks of poker chips on the table, this was no small bet. Why they were letting a delivery guy reveal the last card was anyone's guess.Felix flipped over the final community card with everyone watching—another Ace. The young man burst into laughter, shouting, "Four of a kind! I got four Aces!"He slammed his cards onto the table, his exc

Felix had never heard of the title "legendary healer" before. Stacy asked, "Aren't you Mr. Felix Zeller, the legendary healer?"Felix was puzzled. "Yes, I'm Felix Zeller, but I have no idea what a legendary healer is." Stacy suddenly became excited. "Oh, my God! I'm actually standing in front of the legendary healer! Even Mr. Lemuel Morris, the number one master healer, admitted that his skills couldn't compare to yours. "Ever since the title of Miracle Doctor was established, you've been recognized as the strongest master healer alive!"The entire room fell into stunned silence. Even Eunice had never expected that the man she randomly met on a plane was the very same legendary healer who had shaken the entire Dragonia two years ago.No one had ever seen him, and no one knew what he looked like. Yet today, he was standing right in front of them."All that legendary healer nonsense doesn't matter." Felix sighed. He thought Lemuel and the others were really getting caught up

The girl, Stacy Barnes, looked completely unimpressed, as if Felix's phone call was nothing more than a pointless attempt to save himself from getting embarrassed. In her mind, no matter who he called, he would still end up leaving in embarrassment.On the other end of the call, Silas fell silent for a moment before letting out a bitter chuckle. "Just got back and already swamped, huh? Well, let's catch up when you're free. So, you found out I took in a new apprentice?"Felix raised a brow. "Yeah. What's the story there?"Silas hesitated before sighing. "It just kind of happened. Maybe I was just looking for something to take my mind off Zara."Felix knew how much Silas cared for Zara, and he had no doubt about that. He replied, "Zara's fine. She made it through the worst of it, and she'll be back to full health soon."He had been so busy since returning that he had completely forgotten to update Silas about Zara's condition. When he left Martial City, he had checked in on her—her

Felix glanced at Eunice, searching for answers. Even with his trained eye, the woman standing before them was an exact copy of Donna—down to the smallest detail. There was not a single difference.However, Eunice looked just as confused. She hesitated for a moment before saying, "Donna, it's me, Eunice."That single sentence ruled out the possibility of a twin. If Donna had a sister, Eunice would have known.Meanwhile, Donna studied them both for a moment. Then, without saying a word, they turned and walked out of the room. Her reaction left Felix and Eunice completely bewildered.She said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zeller. I have no idea what's going on, either."If even Eunice was clueless, that meant something truly bizarre was happening. A strange thought crossed Felix's mind—Malevolent Phantom.Only Malevolent Phantoms had the ability to mimic anyone perfectly, and even Felix, a Grandmaster, could not tell them apart by energy alone. But typically, when a Malevolent Phantom replaced s

The Webster family of Notura City was not just wealthy—they were power players. But Eunice had only mentioned the part that would pique Felix's interest. In reality, the family's hotel empire was just a fraction of their vast business holdings, which spoke volumes about their status in Notura City.At around 2:40 pm, in the sprawling front courtyard of a massive estate, Eunice stood waiting alongside another young woman as a car was sent to pick up Felix."Eunice, I really appreciate this." The girl beside Eunice had delicate features and gave off a quiet, reserved air. She wore a sporty, casual outfit, her twin ponytails making her look even younger than she was. She was Donna Webster, a direct descendant of the Webster family and the most beloved granddaughter of Albert Webster himself.Eunice replied, "Donna, don't even mention it. Honestly, I just got lucky. Otherwise, I never would've met someone this extraordinary."Donna had already heard stories about Felix's miraculous

"Malevolent Phantoms!" That was Felix's first thought. What these two women were saying and what they were about to do were all too similar to how Malevolent Phantoms operated.He wondered if the surveillance cameras outside had already been taken out. Then again, that did not quite fit the Malevolent Phantoms' style, though. Besides, it was too reckless just for a meal—there was no real reason for them to take such a risk.Eventually, Felix replied, "Sorry. I'm allergic to oysters."The two women exchanged glances before one of them casually reached for her purse. She pulled out a thick stack of cash, looking to be about 10,000 dollars."Then, eat it. If you actually have an allergic reaction, this money is yours—take it and get out."Felix was surprised, unsure what to make of this. Trying to refuse any longer would only seem suspicious, so he picked up an oyster and swallowed it.Within a minute, red spots began appearing on his neck, and he instinctively reached up to scrat

Felix went back to work. There were plenty of late-night diners, and even though Yadiel's men were already stationed across the city, nothing beat sheer luck when it came to running into the right target.The A-tier Malevolent Phantoms in Notura City had already killed dozens of people. If they were not taken out soon, they would become a massive problem.…When Felix arrived at a seafood restaurant for a pickup, the staff reminded him, "Take it easy on the ride. This order's not cheap.""What's the address?" he asked.As he turned to leave, he overheard the servers murmuring behind him. "This customer is so weird. We have our own delivery staff, but they insisted on using an outside service instead."Nonetheless, Felix did not care about those. Soon, he reached a five-star hotel and set the order down at the front desk, planning to take a quick glance around before heading out. Just then, the receptionist called out to him."Hey, the guest in Room 1002 specifically requested th

Ever since Felix learned that the Ancient Sage was actually Gerald's half-brother, he had been feeling conflicted. Yet, for some reason, he could not bring himself to ask Gerald about it—not because he was afraid, but because something inside him hesitated. Now, hearing that Averill also knew about it, he immediately perked up. At least he was not alone in this anymore. He urged, "Averill, hurry up and tell me."Averill flashed a sweet smile. "Aren't we Mr. Hoffman's family? I don't see why you're getting so worked up."Felix was instantly disappointed. But as much as that answer frustrated him, he could not deny the truth in it. Hence, he simply muttered, "Yeah… We are his family."Still, if they were family, then why had Gerald placed seals on all nine of his senior apprentices? What was the reason behind it?"Alright! Enough of small talk," Averill said, stretching lazily. "Eat up, and after dinner, I'm coming over to your place. I've got skills to show off."Felix sighed
