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
Felix frowned. When the man first appeared, he had sensed a murderous intent aimed at him, but it quickly disappeared and shifted toward the old man. Yet now, he just heard that the man was here to kill him."You're here to kill me?" the old man asked, astonished.Killian gave a bitter smile. He could move his legs and his facial muscles slowly. To be frank, Felix's strength had amazed him. With just half a coffee cup, Felix had rendered him immobile with almost no visible injuries on his body."That's right. But we underestimated you."The old man, finally understanding the situation, took a step back in shock but said nothing."Interesting. You must be a professional assassin, right? Seems like your organization is on the brink of destruction," Felix said.He was no stranger to assassin organizations. Back in Eden Village, assassins had managed to locate him. The nine female apprentices became furious. On that same day, three of the apprentices left the village, and by the
The old man let out a sigh of relief and nodded at Felix. Then, Killian collapsed to the floor."Someone will come to deal with the body."Since the old man was also an assassin, his background was not clean, either. Thus, Felix didn't mind killing someone in front of him. It wasn't a big deal."I keep my word. Wait here, and I'll get the Shimmeroot for you."As for the so-called Inferno Clan, Felix didn't take it seriously at all. As long as he was strong, everything else would just be a piece of cake for him. It was just noises and not real danger.By the time Felix left the villa, Kane, who had already been notified, brought people over to handle the body inside.…Meanwhile, in Villa No. 6 next door, Sasha was tearfully complaining to Nattie, who had just returned. "Mom! Felix is such a jerk! He actually slapped me in the face. You have to stand up for me!"Although Nattie was also angry, she managed to stay calm. "Sasha, just bear with it for now. Your father just signed th
At the headquarters of the Phoenix Legion, Belle was flushed with excitement. "Milady! I'm sure Mr. Summers Senior is definitely going to be saved this time!"Xena was equally elated. After all, it was the Miracle Card at stake. Once they had it, the miracle doctor would surely appear, and Curtis' illness would be cured without question."Don't get too excited just yet. We still don't know exactly what the Kinsley family wants in exchange, and the publicity for this auction is everywhere. Even though it's only been one day, many big names are bound to come in."However, Belle was unconcerned. "I'd like to see who dares disrespect you."The smile on Xena's face faded as her voice turned cold. "Though I am a goddess of war, there are plenty of people in Dragonia who don't take me seriously. Don't try to flatter me. It won't help us secure the Miracle Card.""Oh, I'll investigate which influential figures are coming to the auction."Xena raised her hand to stop her. "No need to do t
Wendy's phone was turned off? Felix was baffled. Someone like Wendy would never turn off her phone or let it out of her sight, even for a moment. This was odd."Alright. Leave it to me. I'll make sure tomorrow night's dinner goes as planned. You just go ahead and make a reservation.""Haha! I knew I could count on you!"This was what true friendship meant. No matter Felix's status or connections, in Jack's eyes, he was simply his good buddy and nothing more. If something came up, they wouldn't hesitate to ask each other for help, and vice versa.Felix called Wendy, but once again, her phone was off. He frowned.When it was nearing noon, Felix drove his Range Rover out. Since Wendy's phone was still turned off, he decided to visit the Kinsley family.It was partly because of Jack's problem. Another part was because he was worried something might have happened to Wendy. After all, they had developed a certain level of friendship since getting to know each other.When he arrived at
When Felix parked his car, Wendy and Vincent were already waiting for him."What's going on here?"Felix got out of the car with a puzzled expression. Since nothing seemed wrong, why were all the guards stationed outside? And why did they have their phones turned off?Wendy looked embarrassed. Felix rarely contacted her, yet today of all days, he did, and it just happened to be the day they were auctioning off the Miracle Card. She felt awkward about bringing it up."Felix, there's… a bit of a misunderstanding here. Let's get inside, and I will explain?""Sure."A few minutes later, Felix had a strange expression on his face. "That's it?"Wendy nodded. "Yes. My father and grandfather were even worried that you might be upset."Felix chuckled and leaned back on the couch. "The Miracle Card has already been handed over to you. How you deal with it is up to you. Why would I be upset?"Hearing this, the members of the Kinsley family all breathed a sigh of relief. It truly would ha
