Chapter 178

Author: Dreamy Fire
Belle immediately ran over to check on Santhor.

"Milady, he's dead!" she exclaimed.

Xena scoffed coldly. "He deserves to die. He's the most disgusting wanted criminal on the list. Take him away!"

Xena looked calm on the surface, but deep down, she was thoroughly confused. The database has said that Santhor was a very powerful person. The Earthen Hall probably couldn't even handle him, but she had defeated him way too easily just now.

In fact, she hadn't even attacked him with all of her might. She recalled the final expression Santhor made before his death and wondered if she had been lucky enough to attack him right when he was feeling unwell. Perhaps something had happened to his physical body…

However, none of that mattered anymore as long as this was the final outcome.

Time passed by quickly. Around 4:00 pm, Felix arrived at the deserted hill Nora had told him about. However, with his keen sense of smell, he had already detected the unique snakefruit scent at the foot of the

    Felix was rather taken aback to hear the man's claims, but that was just about it. After all, Xena couldn't have conjured all her fighting skills out of thin air. She had to have had a mentor or at least a sect from where she trained and learned them.Felix figured the man had to be telling at least 80% of the truth. Xena's status now was anything but ordinary. None of the sects would ever dare to crack a joke in her name like this unless they were from an extremely powerful one. The repercussions could be terrible if anyone else found out.Thinking that Felix must be shocked, the middle-aged man turned cocky and said, "Now that you're scared, you'd better hand over that snakefruit to me. It will only be a waste for you to take it away."Felix shook his head. "I'm not giving you the snakefruit, ever. It's still the same thing for me. I'm not in the mood for bloodshed today, so leave now."The next second, the man suddenly released his aura into the air. It was so powerful that the

    "Doesn't this look like an acupuncture needle to you?" Xena asked.Belle replied, "Yes, milady. The needle has been confirmed to be an acupuncture needle."Xena had a strong feeling that this needle had to be the reason for Santhor's easy defeat just now. It had suppressed his true power, making it easy for her to take him down."Get all of the hotel's security footage here at once. I want to go through them myself," Xena declared."Yes, milady!" Belle nodded.Just then, a voice appeared in Belle's in-ear microphone."Milady, Perry Glover is here.""You may leave now. And ask him to come in," Belle replied.Xena felt sorry for Perry when he finally came into her office. Her uncle looked as if he had just aged by ten years."Xena! It's been so long! Why have you still not arrested Felix yet?" Perry questioned.Perry was at his wit's end. He had expected that Xena wouldn't have done anything much on her side, but to think that even the Inferno Clan hadn't made much progress eit

    Sasha was confused. Why would Nora be looking for Felix? There didn't seem to be a possibility for the two of them to even know each other.In her circle of friends, Sasha looked down the most on Nora. She was a good-for-nothing sugar baby who would willingly bend over backward for money.It was most probably because Nora's family's company had gone bankrupt a few years ago, but she hadn't wanted to give up living her life of luxury. So, if she wanted to get large amounts of money quickly, the only way to do so without becoming a prostitute was to become a sugar baby to married men."Who's your boyfriend? Why would he want to kill you? That's too ridiculous."However, Nora's reply instantly made Sasha rejoice internally."Believe me, Sasha, he'll really kill me if he had the chance! He doesn't even give a fuck about people like Lord Kane. Please, can you find this someone for me?"Someone who didn't even care about Lord Kane? Sasha briefly glanced at Felix and wanted to laugh o

    Felix nodded. "Because of this, I'll give you another chance. It's up to what your sister chooses to do after that."His sister? Sam's smile vanished. How dare such filthy trash like Felix bring up Dora? Did he really think that he could start spouting nonsense just because he had heard something from Kane?"Give me another chance? You've got the nerve! Although Nora's just one of my toys, I absolutely do not allow anyone else to touch her before I'm done playing with her. "But really, I'm surprised that you'd actually give a slut like her five million dollars cash. Is she even worth that much?"Sam had been thoroughly shocked when he saw all the cash at the hotel that day. Sure, he was filthy rich, and five million dollars was just another figure to him. But that was the first time he had seen it in cash form."I've already told you that it was a misunderstanding. I gave her five million dollars in exchange for some information. Can we end things here now?" Felix sighed.Sam wa

    Felix was also taken aback to hear the news. Thinking back, he had only met the Oasis Clinic chief just a while ago. He was honest and looked like he would do well in business and managing money. How could he just die in the blink of an eye?"Did he die of an illness or other causes?" Felix asked.If someone had poisoned him, that meant the rebellion in Dragon Alliance was so serious that they would dare to kill the chief. It was evident that they were unscrupulous with their ways now.Kane shook his head."I don't know. Mr. Zeller, the vice leader wants me to go over at once. I think he needs me to stand in as the temporary chief."In Dragon Alliance, it was challenging for someone to be promoted from a regular member to a deputy chief, let alone be promoted to chief from deputy chief.Kane knew he shouldn't be the next in line between himself and the other deputy chief. Maybe it was because the news that the Dragon Lord had returned had already spread among the rest of the me

    "How about this—I'll sleep with you for a night, and you let my brother go?" Dora offered.Sam's jaw dropped open. He felt once more just how terrifying Felix must be for Dora to offer up her body to him like this. Most importantly, he could see the anxiety and desperation in her eyes. He didn't know what to think anymore."Jack Graham is a manager from this company. He's a good friend of mine. The Clarksons have a lot of resources to go around, right? It shouldn't be a problem for you to collaborate with them on something, right?" Felix asked while handing Dora a business card.Was that all? Dora took the business card from Felix's hand and blinked at him in confusion."Are you sure you really don't want to punish me hard in bed for what my brother did to you?"Felix was rendered speechless. He was too lazy to reply to her, so he just waved her off.It wasn't until Sam had left the premises and gotten into Dora's car that he finally dared to speak up. "Dora, how did you and Mr.

    Felix thought he was hearing things. Did Xena really agree to his proposition? He stared at her in shock."Are you sure you know what you're saying? You're Dragonia's goddess of war. Do you even know what kind of position that is?" Felix asked.Xena's facial expression remained unchanged. "I just want to know the truth, that's all. It has nothing to do with whether or not you're a member of Dragon Alliance. You should know that more than I do."Of course, Felix knew that. It didn't mean that Xena would change her attitude about him just because he was a member of Dragon Alliance. At the very most, she just thought slightly better of him now."Alright. Since that's what you said."Felix didn't believe it. He didn't think that Xena would put aside her ego and really sleep with him for the night.After entering the villa, Felix went straight into his bedroom."Xena Summers, there's still a chance for you to leave if you regret this," Felix warned.He didn't know what got into Xena

    "You've got your answers. You can go now," Felix said.But Xena was stubborn as ever. After all, she was the goddess of war. "I said I'd leave at dawn, and I will." Felix could not take it anymore. How was he supposed to sleep with her there? He got up, threw on his clothes, and headed for the door. "You stay and rest then. I'm going to grab something to eat." Xena bolted upright. As Felix's silhouette disappeared beyond the door, she became furious. What was his deal? Did he find her repulsive or something? She was Lady Summers, the first goddess of war in Dragonia, and the fantasy of men everywhere. They had shared a bed, and he just... walked out? Gosh! If word got out, no one would believe it. Felix left Tabiner Bay and wandered the streets. He eventually found himself near the alley where Ted and Sasha had tried to set him up at that fondue restaurant. "I wonder if they're still open." Though he was not hungry, the memory of that fondue tempted him. It was already mid

    The old man burst into uncontrollable laughter after confirming the truth."Cured? Someone has actually managed to cure our family's Fish Man Disease? Oh, thank the heavens!"What the heck? Did that mean he didn't want to be a Fish Man?"I am Kayden Lannerby," the old man said. "And what's your name?""Felix Zeller."Kayden nodded and continued, "You may not know this, but the Fish Man Disease is a hereditary curse in my family, Felix. We've sought out countless famous doctors over the generations, but no one could treat it. "Truthfully, curing it is quite simple—when the silver scales begin to show, removing just one from the hand would return the person to normal. But the challenge lies in the fact that the scales can't be removed."Felix silently agreed. Even with his extraordinary medical skills, it had been an incredibly difficult task."From this moment onward," Kayden said with a trace of hope, "if Pierre builds a family of his own, perhaps the Fish Men lineage will fin

    Felix was stunned that he had been detected. After all, he had even activated the Nightshade Discipline. Back when he was with Helena, his presence could not be sensed even at close range. "What's the matter? Are you not willing to show yourself?"Grinding his teeth, Felix revealed himself. About ten yards away, an elderly man was standing there, watching him intently. The old man had an ordinary appearance, with slightly clouded eyes, and stood with his hands behind his back. There wasn't the slightest trace of fear or nervousness in his demeanor."Sorry. Maybe we're just traveling the same path," Felix said, forcing a smile.The corners of the old man's lips curled up slightly as he chuckled. "There's no such thing as pure coincidence in this world. Besides, I've never seen an expert as young as yourself."As he spoke, the old man slowly extended his hands forward. Felix noticed he was wearing gloves. Was he a Fish Man?The realization hit him like a thunderclap. As the gl

    "I heard you've slept with Averill, Leslie, Delilah, and Mira?" Naomi said.Felix, who was in the middle of slurping the pasta, coughed out the contents in his mouth the moment he heard Naomi's words. He was at a loss for words. After all, it was true, and trying to deny it wouldn't change anything."What are you embarrassed about? We've always been your women. It was just a matter of time."Hearing those words come from Naomi's mouth gave Felix an indescribable sense of awkwardness.Her face, which had been slightly flushed, now seemed calm and resolute, as though she had come to terms with it."Do you know why Mr. Hoffman asked me to seek you out? It was to make sure we could sleep together."Felix started coughing again. "Naomi, are you serious?"Naomi nodded. "Yes. The cultivation technique I've been practicing is closely tied to the soul. Mr. Hoffman must have thought the time was right. He always has his reasons. "When we… uh… connect, it's not just about the physical

    After an hour's flight, Felix landed at Hermestown Airport, where someone was already waiting to pick him up."Mr. Zeller, does this car work for you?"The arrangements had been made by George. It was a piece of cake for someone like him.Looking at the sleek black Rolls-Royce Cullinan, Felix gave a nod of approval. "It'll do.""There's one million dollars in cash in the trunk. Take care, Mr. Zeller."Driving the Cullinan for another hour, Felix found himself mesmerized by the scenery along the way. Rolling mountains and lush greenery stretched as far as the eye could see. Clearly, the environment was a top priority for Naomi, judging by where she lived.Finally, the car arrived at the destination she had sent him: Juno Village.From a distance, Felix spotted a familiar figure. It was Naomi Lovelace.Although her head was wrapped in a scarf and she was dressed like a farmer, it did nothing to mask her beauty, especially when she smiled. She was as captivating as ever, and Felix

    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
