The eerie transformation played out in front of everyone, yet not a single person looked surprised. In mere moments, the man had completely taken on Stewart's appearance—it was almost impossible to tell them apart.Felix said approvingly, "Not bad. Unless someone gets close enough to inspect, they'll never notice the difference."After confirming earlier that the solution had successfully eliminated Chloe's body odor, Felix immediately contacted Xena and requested reinforcements from headquarters. Instead of fighters, he asked for skilled operatives who could impersonate Stewart and two other dentists connected to the case.The mastermind behind this would not be switching locations after every move—it was a cycle. Eventually, they would use one of these three dentists again, and whoever got the next call would lead them to the source.Felix had prepared this plan in advance. The actual execution depended on the details Stewart provided, and now that they had those, it was time to

"Alright, alright, I'll do it—just stop shaking my arm, you're gonna rip it off," Felix replied.He had always preferred friends who did not allow their status to create distance. Jack was the same way—if he needed something, he wouldn't play games; he would just call and ask directly.Lindsay lit up with excitement. "I knew you'd come through! Angie, what do you think? Maybe you should marry him as a thank-you!"Angie was completely stunned, wondering if Felix was serious and could even pull strings in Newtown.Just then, Felix said, "You just need to bring that guy to see me."Angel immediately went to the private room. Lindsay had fought to get her this chance, and she would be the biggest fool alive if she let it slip away.Just as she reached the private dining room, a middle-aged man stepped out. She greeted, "Dad."The man was none other than Angie's father, Carlos Sinclair. He asked, "Angie, where are you going?"Without hesitation, Angie laid everything out.Carlos f

Phil acted like he had not heard Angie and continued walking. However, he suddenly stopped just as he took a few more steps. When he turned around, his expression had completely changed.He asked, "What did you say his name was?"Upon sensing a shift in the situation, Angie quickly answered, "Felix Zeller.""He's the one who wants to see me?""Yes!"Phil was visibly unsettled now. After a brief pause, he finally said, "Alright. Let's go."Carlos was stunned, wondering what the hell was going on. Did Felix really have connections in Newtown?When they arrived at the private dining room, Phil visibly flinched the moment he laid eyes on Felix. He quickly greeted, "Sir!"That single word sent shivers down Angie's and Carlos' spines. The difference in status was so glaringly obvious that it was downright terrifying. Felix did not recognize the young man, but anyone with ties to Newtown would undoubtedly know him.Felix immediately ordered, "Arrange for the Sinclairs to open their r

About 20 minutes later, Marley sent another message. "At the supermarket now."Almost simultaneously, Felix finally detected a martial artist within his domain. He mumbled, "Early-stage Blood Realm?"That was not much in Martial City, but it was considered a high-level martial artist in the capital. Either it was just a coincidence, or there was a strong chance this person was the one who had dropped off the solution.Felix picked up his groceries and casually moved toward the checkout counter near the storage lockers, all while keeping his domain locked onto the early-stage Blood Realm martial artist. The man was about 30 feet away, pretending to inspect apples. He was careful, moving naturally and avoiding anything suspicious. However, that was pointless under Felix's domain. Sure enough, he was watching the locker.The man finally relaxed only after the disguised Khalil arrived and retrieved the package. He grabbed two bags of fruit and headed for checkout.Felix exited the s

That evening, Viper slammed a bottle of liquor onto the table with a loud thud inside a villa in Kashmere."That hits the spot!"He had a habit of downing an entire bottle of liquor every evening and had never skipped a day.Just as he stood up and let out a satisfied belch, he became terrified when he realized he couldn't move."What is going on?"It felt like a massive mountain was pressing down on him. He couldn't move a muscle, and breathing became more challenging with each passing moment.At that moment, someone appeared in his view, and his eyes widened in horror.It was Felix.Viper recognized him immediately and understood why he had appeared. He wondered when he had been exposed and why Felix was targeting him.He knew it would be pointless to try and fight him. After all, Felix was in the Grandmaster Realm. It would be impossible to escape or resist him. Fear gripped him as Felix raised his hand to strike him. Unbearable pain overwhelmed Viper. However, it was gon

Felix would lose all perception of the outside world when using the Soul Manifestation technique. If danger struck, he'd be completely helpless. Hence, he would never use it unless absolutely necessary or unless he had someone he trusted to guard him."The threat in your soul has been removed," Felix said. "You can choose to talk, or I'll make you talk. I'm sure you know where the difference lies."Viper grit his teeth as he realized he had no choice but to trust Felix."Hall of Souls!" he spat.After realizing that he was still alive upon uttering the words, Viper's eyes widened in shock.Felix wasn't just a powerful martial artist in the Grandmaster Realm. His control over souls was just as terrifying. The people who had bound his soul had said that it was unbreakable. So what was going on?Felix frowned."Hall of Souls? What is that?" he asked.It sounded like an organization to Felix.Now that he didn't have to worry about dying, Viper's anger started to bubble up."I was

Felix had previously sensed the faint residue left in Chloe's mouth, which was diluted after being washed away. Even so, Felix had been able to determine the medicinal ingredients used.As he inhaled the pure, undiluted scent of the serum, he realized he had been overlooking a crucial truth.The women who had supposedly been cured of their body odor by the Malevolent Phantoms' methods weren't actually healed in the way everyone assumed. Their new, faint fragrance wasn't the key result of the serum—it directly affected their souls.The moment Felix took a whiff, he instantly sensed something invading his soul. However, since he hadn't ingested it directly, the effect dissipated almost as soon as it appeared.Nonetheless, it was clear to him that the serum wasn't a remedy for body odor. Its real target was the soul."Marley, take him back for interrogation!" he ordered.Felix rushed away as Marley, who was standing guard outside with the others, entered. He had already pieced tog

Just as the gaping mouth was about to descend on Chloe, the middle-aged man was sent flying sideways. It crashed into the wall and exploded into a mist of blood. Only his severed head rolled to the ground."A martial artist? You're looking for death!" the man snarled.Even in that state, the man remained arrogant. His body had already begun regenerating as he roared in fury.The one who had struck at the critical moment, of course, was Felix. He let out a sigh of relief. Chloe would've been doomed if he had been even a second later.20 minutes later, the middle-aged man glared up at Felix with rage. At this point, all that was left of him was his head and neck."As expected, the soul energy of an A-tier Malevolent Phantom is ridiculously strong. It took this long just to wear it down," Felix commented.After some quick calculations, Felix realized that only someone who mastered the Transcendent Realm could pull this off. Other martial artists simply wouldn't be able to last until

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
