Chapter 133

Author: Dreamy Fire
"Please elaborate," Felix said. He believed that although he had only exuded his demeanor a bit last night, given the elder's strength, the elder must have been frightened. The grudge with Dora would naturally dissipate as well.

"Sure, but you need to treat me to a meal."

A while of silence later, Dora still didn't want to elaborate further. So, before ending the call, Felix said, "It doesn't matter to me."

Felix left and arrived at Xena's house around 10:00 am. He had contacted her previously.

"Let's go up."

After opening the door, Xena remained expressionless. At least, she was someone who kept to her word. She didn't stop Felix from visiting Curtis. For some reason, she followed him upstairs.

Felix began to check on Curtis. Then, he let out a sigh of relief. The Phantom Poison didn't continue to spread. If so, once he got the last few herbs, he could start saving Curtis. Besides that, he could make sure that the latter could live for a while longer.

    James wasn't someone who stood out. In school, he kept a low profile. It was unexpected for him to become wealthy. As expected, no one could predict one's fate.Since they used to be classmates, the pretense of a class reunion was the most appropriate setting. If Jack had invited James alone, there would have been a high probability that he would have been rejected as they weren't close friends in school. There would be nothing he could do about it.As time passed, their high school classmates entered one by one. Of course, all they engaged in was small talk. The people who had successful lives would take the initiative to speak up and ask about other people's work as well as questions about status and wealth.At last, James arrived. He came together with a classmate, Harvey Johnson, who was known as Gray. His hair color was gray, which was why he acquired such a nickname. When Felix saw Harvey pulling the chair for James, he guessed that Harvey was like a minion to him."Felix, wh

    Upon hearing James say that, everyone understood the situation. No wonder Harvey made things difficult for Felix the moment he entered the room. It turned out they were doing it on purpose. They didn't hide the fact that they were targeting Felix at all.Jack narrowed his eyes and stared at James. "Before making Felix leave, I want to know how he has offended you."Felix was silent because he knew what Jack's temperament was."Do you remember the most beautiful woman in our class back then? She was my crush, but Felix was her boyfriend for two years. I've been holding onto this grudge for a long time."When Felix heard that answer, his expression became strange, let alone the others. Was this considered a grudge? What a joke. Just because James couldn't get the woman he wanted as his girlfriend, he didn't allow anyone to date her either? As expected, Jack chuckled because he was furious."Just because of that? It has already been so many years."However, James remained serious. "

    Felix didn't have a choice, so he sent Wendy a message and had her act as his girlfriend. What did that mean? She had always wanted to be his girlfriend, and now, her dream had come true. Even though it was just an act, she was satisfied with it."Wendy, come and take a seat."It was only then that everyone else returned to their senses. Wendy was very beautiful and had a great demeanor. Who would have thought that Felix's girlfriend was such an excellent woman?"Nice to meet everyone."Wendy greeted everyone before sitting beside Felix obediently. James had gone to the restroom, and Harvey was feeling unhappy about the situation's development. He couldn't believe that Felix was still showing off. He felt that Felix was going too far to support his lie.Besides, why would such a woman like Felix? It didn't matter, though. Something great would happen soon."Felix, your girlfriend is so beautiful. Is she an actress you hired temporarily?"Without sparing Harvey a glance, Felix sa

    Jack was dumbfounded. He didn't expect Felix to have such a wealthy girlfriend. Since James was the one who said it, it was most likely the truth. Upon hearing what James said, Felix smiled."If you don't fulfill your promise, you'll pay a huge price one day."Since James had openly challenged Felix, he was no longer frightened. He snorted and said, "I'll wait for you to make me pay the price!"Once James left, the private room fell into complete silence. After all, no one could be themselves when they were dining with the daughter of the Kinsley family."Jack, I have something to do, so I'll be taking my leave now. You guys can continue."Felix knew that the atmosphere would continue, thus he got up and left with Wendy. "Alright. Go ahead," Jack said.Jack was sincerely happy for Felix to be able to have such a girlfriend. It seemed that he had misunderstood the latter. The Range Rover must belong to Felix. It didn't matter who paid for it anymore."Thank you."After exiting

    "Our general manager has something to do last minute and has returned to the company. He told me to apologize to you sincerely," Joshua said.Upon hearing that, Xena got up. "Joshua, if you want to gain a high status, then don't play tricks. If you play tricks, you'll only suffer losses."Xena was the first goddess of war in Dragonia. How dare a mere general manager of Stellar Group deceive her? What a laughable situation it was. After listening to what Joshua said, she already knew his true motive. How could she continue to stay in the private room?A few minutes later, Belle entered the private room and looked at Joshua's dark expression. Helplessly, she said, "Look. I've already told you that Ms. Summers is extremely smart and that your trick won't work on her. Do you understand the consequences of your actions now?"Joshua clenched his fists. Then, all of a sudden, he smiled. "If so, I can only show my true value. Otherwise, it'll be impossible for me to ask her out to a meal a

    Looking at how proud James was, Felix couldn't help but interrupt him. "I'm listening."James snorted and acted prouder than ever. "You're unknowledgeable and think that the Kinsley family controls Avesburgh. In actuality, there are a few hidden affluent families that truly control the ins and outs of Avesburgh. And I'm the relative of one of the affluent families. Are you afraid now?"Felix's expression became strange. That explanation would make sense for James was so arrogant. "What a coincidence! I happen to know someone from one of the affluent families you mentioned. Since everyone's here, I should let you meet each other."Then, Felix pointed at a Porsche 911 that was nearby and made a gesture with his finger. He didn't say anything."Felix! Just admit that you're afraid. If you're a man, just admit it. Who are you trying to deceive?"When Harvey had just finished shouting, the door of Porsche 911 opened. After that, a woman got out of the car and slowly walked over to them

    When Felix heard that, he said without stopping in his tracks, "Of course, I'm curious. But it depends on you whether or not you want to tell me about it." Dora pouted. It was the first time she met such a man like Felix, but she couldn't do anything since he was very powerful."I hate you. You're no fun at all. I'm sure my findings will shock you. But even if you treat me in this manner, I'll still tell you about it. I want you to have a taste of knowing who the enemy is but can't take action."Upon hearing that, Felix couldn't help but turn to look at Dora. "Are you saying that even you can't do anything to the mastermind?"Dora nodded without hiding the hatred in her eyes. "That's right! That guy has a great support. I can't deal with him. Otherwise, my family will be in trouble. Besides, I don't have sufficient evidence."After standing in the same spot and thinking for a while, Felix chuckled and shook his head. "I think I know who it is. It's Ted Glover, isn't it?"Dora wi

    Felix's expression turned rather peculiar when he heard those words. He did not reproach Dora for playing both sides. Instead, he was surprised that Xena would come all the way here because of him. Had she discovered something? "I don't plan on causing trouble for anyone. After all, I'm a law-abiding citizen." Xena furrowed her brows. She stared at Felix for a long while before speaking again. "That's for the best. You know very well how unworthy you are. You think I came here because I was worried about your safety? You're wrong! If it weren't for your contribution in finding the Grimflower last time, I wouldn't care about you at all." She turned and took a few steps, then looked back. "People like you need to know their place. Living an unsatisfactory life should be the least of your worries. If you lose your life, you won't even have the chance to regret it." Felix smiled as he watched the car drive away. "It's better if you think that way." He went to the neighboring v

    The reason Edmond dared to question Felix at all was that he was holding onto that one sliver of arrogance—he assumed Felix had only cured Christopher by pure luck, just because it happened to fall under his area of expertise.Otherwise, would he have even dared speak up? Not a chance.Once the silk threads were tied and tension filled the air, Felix spoke calmly after only a short pause. "Her Grace has a mild seasonal chill. It's nothing serious. I'll prescribe her some herbal blends—she'll recover within five days. Or, if she prefers a quicker route, acupuncture will do the trick."The Green King blinked, clearly stunned by the response. "You mean you can heal her without medication?""That's right. No medicine necessary." At the same time, a soft, melodic voice floated from behind the curtain. Sydney Haye said, "My love, that sounds perfect. You know I hate taking medicine. Please, Dr. Zeller, come in and begin the treatment."...15 minutes later, Felix stepped back out in

    Joaquin was on the edge of madness. He wanted nothing more than to kill Felix right there, but he didn't dare risk the entire Goldstein family just to satisfy that rage. Disobeying a royal summons meant immediate execution—there was no bluffing around it.After taking a deep breath, Joaquin forced himself to put on a smile. "Dr. Zeller, then tell me—what exactly do you need in order to head to the Green King Manor?"Felix had seen this kind of groveling far too many times before. "Gras is right outside your estate. Go talk to him. The sooner you two reach an agreement, the sooner I'll leave for the manor.""What? Gras is here?" Only now did Joaquin realize just how thoroughly he had been played. Everything had been a setup from the beginning, and he had walked straight into the trap.Time ticked by, and eventually, Gras strolled into the courtyard. He said, "Dr. Zeller, the talk went well. How's the view treating you so far?" From the smile on Gras's face, it was clear he hadn't

    Not far away, Wagner silently prayed with all his might. "Come on, Felix, don't back down now. Keep acting like a hothead—because only then will you die."As for any retaliation from the Longstone family, he wasn't the least bit concerned. Things had already gone too far, and Joaquin clearly wasn't about to back down. He would definitely find a reason to escalate the fight, and if that weren't the case, Wagner wouldn't have dared tag along tonight.Maybe his prayer actually worked, because Felix shook his head. "Sorry, I came here just to cooperate with your investigation. Anything beyond that… I won't do."Just as Wagner thought Felix had sealed his fate, someone suddenly rushed in, holding something in his hand. "Mr. Goldstein! We've got trouble—Green King Manor just sent a royal summons!""What?" Joaquin's expression twisted as he snatched the letter. A summons from one of the nine Minor Kings was no small matter—when it was issued, compliance was mandatory. Ignoring it meant

    In the past, no one dared provoke a family war so openly as it would've been a blatant slap in the Green King's face. But this time, the Goldsteins had the upper hand. After all, Justus was dead, and the Longstone family was a prime suspect. Hence, even if blood were shed, it could still be justified.Joaquin knew this well. He also understood that Gras would never give up Felix for the sake of the Longstones' reputation, so even forcing the standoff served his purpose.Just as the tension reached its peak and a battle was about to break out, Felix stepped forward on his own. "You're the head of the Goldsteins, right? I'll go with you."Joaquin narrowed his eyes. He hadn't expected Felix to boldly step forward."Dr. Zeller, please step back," Gras said.Felix glanced at Gras and said, "Thank you for everything, sir. But the truth will speak for itself. Once the investigation is done, I'm sure they'll let me return."Gras stayed silent, but Joaquin chuckled coldly. "Return? Do you

    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
