Chapter 152

Author: Dreamy Fire
Sasha quickly chimed in, "Exactly, Dad! You're really too kind."

She thought to herself gleefully, "Felix is such an idiot. He helped our family so much, but now he's going to be utterly destroyed by Dora. Just thinking about it makes me so happy!"

Though he said nothing more, Warren had his own plans. He could not simply accept this without giving anything in return.

As a new day dawned, Kane appeared at Felix's home around noon. "Mr. Zeller, we have news about the Shimmeroot."

Oh? Felix smiled, as Shimmeroot was one of the herbs needed to treat Curtis. "Did you get it, or..."

Kane had woken up ecstatic to this news from his subordinates. He finally had a chance to make up for his mistake.

"Not yet. It's in a village on the outskirts of Avesburgh. But the old man is very stubborn. He says it's a family heirloom and won't sell at any price. My men even brought ten million dollars in cash, but the old man wouldn't budge."

Another tough case? This was somewhat similar to the

    Felix had not expected Ted and Perry to be meeting with Yvonne, but that was no longer important now.Ted's face darkened at Felix's sudden appearance. Cooperation with Stellar Group was a big deal. While their connections ensured it would not fall through, upsetting the president would certainly be bad. Besides, Ted had plans to pursue Yvonne, so Felix's intrusion would be humiliating."Felix! Don't you dare play the victim! Come outside with me." Ted walked over hastily. Perry put on a smile and said, "Ms. Cooper, please pay this no mind. It's just a minor conflict between young people." Yvonne nodded, curious about how Felix kept antagonizing these important figures. Did he really have such capability? She had intervened with Joshua, but what about the Glover family? Anyone who could contact their chairman was certainly of no simple character.Ted was relieved when Felix followed him out. Arguing in the private room would have damaged his image and embarrassed Perry. "Are

    "Hurry! Drive faster!" Perry urged. Though he had martial artists protecting him, they were not nearly as good as Xena. Going to her was definitely the safest option.…Meanwhile, Xena was already waiting outside the Phoenix Legion headquarters, having received word of their arrival. "Xena," Ted greeted with a forced smile as he got out of the car. He could barely hide his panic. "Xena, I—" But before he could finish, he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed. "Son!" Perry quickly caught him. Xena instantly appeared by their side. After extending her right arm, her eyes turned ice-cold. "Ted... is dead." What? Perry could barely breathe and nearly fainted. They had come as fast as possible, yet tragedy still struck. Belle watched in shock. Did Ted die from a sudden illness or something else? My God! As a cousin of Lady Summers, Ted had died right in front of her. What a catastrophe!Regaining his senses, Perry roared to the sky, "Felix! I'll have your life

    At Tabiner Bay, Felix sat in the courtyard of his villa as if he were waiting for someone. His phone rang. It was Kane. "Mr. Zeller, Daniel just called. He said Belle came to ask him about last night's incident in the gala room. He told her Joshua died of a sudden heart attack and didn't reveal your identity." Felix knew someone was watching outside—someone Belle likely sent. Joshua's death could not be kept secret forever, as it would eventually reach Xena. This was why Felix had not immediately driven Daniel out of Avesburgh.Others' words might be useless, but Daniel was the chief of Dragon Alliance's Disciplinary Hall. His status spoke for itself. Belle would at most ask a few questions and would not dare verify personally. So, Joshua's matter was easily settled. "Tell Daniel to call Belle back and say this..." "Understood, Mr. Zeller." Felix was not one to always hide things. Sometimes, what had to be done should be done—just like Ted's death now. Xena's side surely h

    "Mr. Rush.""Ms. Cooper, I forgot to tell you something last night. Felix is also a member of Dragon Alliance."What?Belle's mouth dropped wide open as she stared at Felix in disbelief. To be honest, she had never experienced such an overwhelming shock in her entire life.In her eyes, Felix had always been an ordinary doctor from the countryside. And now, she was suddenly told that he was a member of the extremely prestigious and powerful Dragon Alliance. Could there be anything more shocking than this?"What's wrong?"Seeing Belle standing there as if she had turned to stone, Xena frowned. Something important had clearly happened.Belle, being snapped back to reality, looked slightly fazed. She managed to gather herself. "Milady, just now... Daniel called me. He said..."Xena's expression darkened. "Don't make me ask a second time!"Belle swallowed. She really didn't want to say it out loud. "He said Felix is also a member of Dragon Alliance!"In an instant, Xena narrowed h

    Xena gave a deadline of three days. She clearly wanted to test whether Felix had any real connection to Daniel or if he was genuinely a member of Dragon Alliance."Milady, you don't believe Felix is a member of Dragon Alliance?"Upon hearing Belle's question, Xena looked over and immediately sensed something off."Are you serious? You're my deputy, yet you're concerned about a member of Dragon Alliance? Why are you still so easily shaken?"Belle froze, carefully pondering the meaning behind those words."Whether he is or not is secondary. We'll know in three days. Let's deal with it then."After Xena left, Ernest came to the courtyard."Felix, things are so lively here! And all your guests are big names, too."Felix could only smile bitterly."Please, don't tease me."Sitting down, Ernest laughed. "With your reputation as a skillful doctor, even someone like Xena will eventually fall for you."Felix shook his head and sighed. "My mentor always taught me to follow my conscien

    Even though Xena was reliable, with the halo of the goddess of war, she insisted on following rules and procedures. They found no signs of foul play in Ted's autopsy. In other words, it was impossible for them to arrest Felix.How could Perry just sit by and do nothing? His only son was dead. What was the point of making any more money now? At his age, it was impossible to have another child. So, he used all his connections to find the terrifying Inferno Clan, draining all his savings. Finally, they accepted the job.Normally, an assassin wouldn't cost much, but Perry wanted an ultimate contract. This meant that even if Felix killed the first assassin, Inferno Clan would keep sending stronger assassins until Felix was dead."Felix, I'm waiting for the day you die!…Meanwhile, Felix was drinking with Jack."Jack, you'll get drunk soon if you keep drinking like this. Don't you want to talk to me about it?"Jack kept gulping down one drink after another. His eyes were filled wit

    When Jack returned, Felix could see that he was conflicted. Clearly, he truly loved Trina. Otherwise, he wouldn't be acting like this."I've thought about it. I want to give her another chance. I'll find some time and talk to her again.""Alright. Do whatever you feel is right. I'm always here if you need me."At that moment, Felix's phone rang. It was Kane."Felix, we found the old man."Previously, Kane had mentioned that there was an old man in a village on the outskirts of Avesburgh who possessed the rare herb, Shimmeroot. But even after offering ten million dollars in cash, the old man wouldn't budge, claiming it was a family heirloom.Felix had planned to visit the old man after dealing with Ted, but the man had disappeared. He had asked Kane to station people to watch the area, but they lost track of him. Now, unexpectedly, they had news again."Where is he?""You won't believe it. This old man actually owns a villa in Azure Residences. He's inside now, which explains

    When Felix arrived at Villa No. 7, it was pitch dark inside, as if no one lived there.But since Kane had said the old man was inside, Felix would like to think he was right.He rang the doorbell. If he wasn't the one who needed the old man's help, he wouldn't have done so with such patience.After a full half-hour of ringing the bell, the courtyard gate finally opened, but no one came out. The door to the villa opened only after Felix had walked a few steps further.It was still pitch dark inside the villa, and there was no one around.A table lamp in the living room was turned on with a click, and there was an old man sitting in an armchair."You must be with them. Are you trying to buy my Shimmeroot? You're quite persistent. You've been politely ringing the doorbell for half an hour."Felix walked over and said earnestly, "Sir, I truly need the Shimmeroot to save someone's life. I hope you can make an exception. Name me whatever conditions you have."The fact that this old m

    Terry waved his hand decisively."This isn't something for you to worry about! When it comes to Lone Paragon, even those old recluses will send their prized disciples or family members. If Zack doesn't go, who else will stand a chance? Now leave."…As a new day dawned, Felix made his usual round at the clinic before heading over to Floral Wreath Boutique."Billy, are you signing up for the upcoming Dragonia Martial Arts Competition?"Unexpectedly, Billy shook his head, saying, "I'm not a martial artist, so why the hell would I join?"Hearing that, Felix's expression turned strange, wondering why he claimed not to be a martial artist. Then again, Billy had always been hard to figure out."Well, it's a relief that you're not joining," Felix said. He had confidence in taking on anyone, except for Billy. This guy was too mysterious, and his methods were downright bizarre."Felix, are you serious about what you mentioned last night?"Felix nodded. "Yeah, I already got Melissa's co

    At the Greene family estate, Aiden sat frowning. He held the same expression for quite some time. Meanwhile, Asher was in great turmoil and could not calm down.Aiden had sent a True Blood martial artist to kill Felix, yet the mission had failed. The assassin had gone missing, while Felix returned alive. He was completely unscathed, according to the reports."Aiden, should we strike again?" Asher asked cautiously.Aiden waved his hand dismissively."There's no time to waste on him for now. The Dragonia Martial Arts Competition is just around the corner, and the championship prize is the Lone Paragon ancient secret technique. That should be our priority."Standing up, Aiden smiled confidently."Only I am worthy of Lone Paragon. Anyone else who dares to covet it is nothing more than a fool."After a moment of hesitation, Asher asked carefully, "What if Felix decides to participate?"There were two possibilities regarding Felix. The first was that he had reached the True Blood R

    "You brat! Why do you always have to bring that? I'm hanging up." Gerald scoffed."Wait, Mr. Hoffman!" Felix shouted. There was something even more critical he hadn't yet addressed. "My soul… it has a problem."Gerald grew serious. "Don't scare me. Soul-related issues are no small matter.""Here's what happened. Headquarters initially sent me to Seapoint for a mission, and I encountered..." Felix recounted everything in full detail. This was Gerald, his mentor, after all. There was nothing he couldn't share."Vigilantes? And no one remembers them? Destiny Crystals? Honestly, I've never heard of these things," Gerald admitted. "But what you're describing is beyond bizarre! Especially the ability to erase all memory of their existence. There are only a handful of individuals in the entire Dragonia capable of that."Felix was stunned. "What? Can people actually do that? How many more unbelievable things are hidden in Dragonia?""Did you show it to Fatso?""Fatso? Who's that?" Fel

    A moment ago, Felix's mind was preoccupied with Helena, so he hadn't asked Xena any questions. But since Gerald called, he wouldn't let this opportunity slip by, especially not with someone as close to him as he was.Gerald began, "Lone Paragon! Do you realize how precious it must be for the country to safeguard it for so many years without letting anyone learn it? There's even a rumor that it's not from Earth. That might be an exaggeration, but it still speaks to its mystique."He continued, "To get to the point, what makes Lone Paragon so irresistible to martial artists is its power. Once mastered, it allows you to triple your combat strength for one whole hour with zero side effects. And you can use it again after 24 hours.""What?" Felix shot to his feet. It was almost too good to be true.A chance to triple one's combat strength! Anyone who obtained the ability would become invincible among their peers, and defeating stronger opponents would be effortless. The fact that it las

    Felix nodded—that was precisely what he was thinking."It's because headquarters got approval to offer the ultimate prize to the champion," Xena said mysteriously.She leaned forward and whispered, "It's Lone Paragon."Xena thought Felix would react wildly. But to her shock, he seemed unimpressed. "Have you never heard of Lone Paragon?""Should I have?" Felix asked flatly.Xena sighed. "Fine. I only learned about it myself after this tournament was finalized. Lone Paragon is an ancient secret technique passed down through the ages. It's been safeguarded by the country for centuries and has never leaked out."An ancient technique that was valued by the country? It had to be extraordinary, then."If it's truly that remarkable, wouldn't the champion become a target for everyone? I doubt this tournament allows contestants to use fake identities or disguise themselves, right?" Felix asked.It was an important question. If he became the focus of countless ambitious warriors, his life

    Felix was taken aback by the question. "Decide what?"Nala was nervous and didn't know how Felix would respond. While terrified of hearing the answer, she couldn't help but hope for clarity.Xena also felt conflicted. For the first time, she felt uncertain and doubted her charm, which was rare for her. It was a moment of vulnerability, a decision every woman dreads."You can choose to stay here at the clinic or come with me. I have something important to discuss with you," Xena said, surprising herself with how much her tone had shifted.She intended to confront Felix, but her tone softened, catching her off guard. Why was she suddenly uncertain about her feelings for a man who had fought hard to win her back?"I'll come with you," Felix replied without hesitation.If Xena was asking, it was likely related to a mission, so Felix didn't dwell on what Nala might think. He followed Xena without a second thought.Once they had left, Melissa asked, "Nala, why are you smiling?"Nala

    Felix chuckled. "You're a grown man, yet you're still hung up on things like this! Not just anyone can be my follower. Sure, some might see you as cowardly or disloyal, but I've always believed people can change. So stop worrying about how others see you, and even more so about how I do."Felix tossed a pill over. "This is a new formula I developed. It's designed to boost the strength of those who mastered Blood Realm. Give it a try.""What?" Selmer quickly caught the pill. It turned out Felix hadn't forgotten about him after all. "Thank you, Mr. Zeller! Thank you!"In truth, Felix had created this pill a while ago. However, he wasn't sure of its effects or whether it might even be harmful. So he hadn't dared to let Selmer use it. However, after the success of the Windseeker Pill during his mission in Guneria, Felix was confident that the medical text's descriptions were accurate.Even the most basic pills from the text could enhance the strength of warriors who were already consid

    Upon seeing Billy's astonished expression, Felix was stunned. He hadn't expected Billy to notice something unusual.Ever since getting to know Billy, Felix had come to trust him despite his air of mystery. With all the skills Billy possessed, if he wanted to harm Felix, he could have done so long ago. There was no need to wait.After some pondering, Felix decided to let Billy take a look while framing it as a joke. If Billy noticed something, they could discuss it. If not, it would just be a fleeting joke."What's wrong? Is there something different about my soul?" Felix pressed.Billy widened his eyes and rubbed his chin. "What the heck did you get into this time? I don't know exactly what's in your soul, but as far as souls go, it's..."After a long pause, Billy still hadn't said another word. Felix grew impatient. "Well? Is it good or bad?""Good! It's a blessing! Whatever this thing is, it nourishes the soul, enhances the power, and has countless benefits." Billy rubbed his

    As the Phoenix Warlord, Xena was well aware of the terrifying reputation of the Westerio Order abroad, which only made Felix's accomplishment even more impressive.The success of this mission would earn her a medal from headquarters, a rare honor for someone newly appointed as the Phoenix Warlord. It would also be a first in the organization's history.And all of this was because of Felix.…Meanwhile, in the cabin, Felix gazed at Helena with a complicated look. "You don't have to meet such a fate. While I can't avoid turning you in, I could stop you from meeting Tony."Helena smiled and kissed Felix on the cheek. "There's no need. This is my destiny. It cannot be changed."Though he couldn't claim to have fallen for her, Felix couldn't deny a stirring of emotion."I can change it. I'll report that you shouldn't meet him," Felix insisted.Helena shook her head. "Absolutely not. If you stop us from meeting, then there will come a time when death is a luxury to me. Do you really
