The next morning, Felix got a call from Kane. "Mr. Zeller, we've figured out how the chief died. It was because his martial arts technique went wrong, not foul play."

Since it was not murder, Felix relaxed a bit. He could now focus on Curtis' situation.

"What about you?" Felix asked.

Kane replied, "I've been promoted to Chief of Oasis Clinic, so I can't come back to Avesburgh. Mr. Zeller, the person I found for you should be there in two days max. Her name's Vivian. She's somewhat of a niece to me.

"She's been with Dragon Alliance for almost four years and is a martial arts prodigy. She's already Deputy Chief of the Earthen Hall."

The Earthen Hall? Felix was surprised. It was one of the top divisions in Dragon Alliance, as the people there handled all assassination missions. Getting in there required serious skill. For Vivian to have become a deputy chief in just a few years was indeed impressive.

"Alright, tell her to contact me when she arrives," Felix said.

"Oh, and Mr.

    "Mr. Zeller, I can't thank you enough. Our family's fate wouldn't have changed without your help," Wendy said. Felix smiled and said, "That's just how fate works. You earned this. Why thank me? You helped me plenty with those herbs, too." Wendy seemed to have gathered her courage and finally said, "Mr. Zeller, do I… do I have any chance of being with you? Given your talent, I know I don't deserve to be with you! But even if I could just be your mistress, I'd be willing to be one." Wendy was the heiress of Avesburgh's wealthiest family. Anyone who heard her speak so humbly in front of a man would have been shocked. Felix shook his head. "You deserve better. You've only seen one side of me, you hear me?" Though she had expected this, Wendy could not help feeling disappointed. "I understand. Mr. Zeller, I'll come back to visit when I can. I won't ask for much. Just answering my calls and having a meal with me would be enough." "We're friends. Isn't that what friends do?" As

    A middle-aged man appeared as he said those words. His presence was intense, which made Olly's brow furrow slightly. Just by the aura, this newcomer seemed to match Olly in power. As for who was actually stronger, it would only be clear after a fight. But right now, Felix was the main issue."Did you witness my disciple's death?" Olly asked.The middle-aged man's lips curled into a smirk. "Not personally, but our guys saw it. Your disciple was killed in an instant. You really think you can take this guy down solo?" Felix turned to face the man. His eyes flashed coldly. "Inferno Clan, I gave you a chance. You've got balls sending someone else. Get ready to be wiped off the map then." He had enough on his plate and did not want to waste time on this. Plus, these assassin groups were a pain to track down. But with Dragon Alliance in his pocket now, it would not be impossible If he really wanted to find them. "Inferno Clan?" Olly's expression changed, and he chuckled and said, "Fel

    Olly and the man from Inferno Clan were still standing, but their eyes were wide with disbelief. A moment later, blood trickled from their mouths. "You… you…" Olly sputtered, unable to get out another word before he and the middle-aged man collapsed. Felix shook his head with a wry smile. "Rosalie, I could've handled this myself." The woman who had appeared was Rosalie Evan, his senior. Even Xena could not match her beauty. Rosalie rushed to Felix's side before touching his face and legs. He dodged away. "Oh, Felix, let me check if you're hurt." Felix was terrified. He had experienced Rosalie's boldness all too well during his three years in Eden Village. One wrong move, and she would eat him alive, leaving nothing but bones. Rosalie pouted and glanced at Xena. "This woman is useless. If someone dared touch my man, I wouldn't waste time talking. I'd have already taken them out. Yet she's still playing by the rules. Should I just off her so you and I can ride off into the su

    After they arrived at the hotel room, Felix asked again, "Rosalie, can you tell me now?" No matter how playful his seniors were, they never lied. So he definitely had another fiancée, but he could not remember a thing about her. "What's the rush? I'm tired from traveling. I need a shower. Wait here!" Rosalie said.Felix sighed. Now that he was here, he knew he was at her mercy. Around 15 minutes later, a voice came from the bathroom. "Felix, come in and help me with my back." Felix hesitated. For the sake of learning about this mysterious fiancée, he went in. Damn. He almost turned right back around. Rosalie was lounging in the bathtub with her smooth shoulders on full display. "What are you standing there for? Come here." She turned, presenting her back to Felix. "Rosalie, do we have to do this? I'm a guy too, you know." Rosalie smirked. "I know that. I'm not asking you to do anything weird. Just hold it together, okay? Remember, you've got a fiancée. If you get any f

    Just seeing Rosalie had made Felix happy. Since his parents passed, his seniors and Gerald had become his family. How could he not be thrilled?His phone rang. Seeing it was Madeline, Felix felt relieved. He did not want to rekindle their romance—it had to do with her working at the club. He just wanted his first love to enjoy life again, that was all. "Madeline." "Felix, I've made up my mind. I want a chance to find my own life again. So… please help me." Over the afternoon, Felix paid off the loans Madeline's dad had taken out on her phone. He then hit up several banks and paid off over six million dollars in total. It would have taken Madeline forever to pay off such a massive sum on her own. "How many lenders from the underworld forces do you still owe money to?" Madeline replied, "Just one more to go." It made sense. These guys were on her back every day, so of course, she would pay them off first. When they neared a pawn shop, Felix motioned for Madeline to stop. "

    Felix had met Stinger several times and thought he was decent. He was Kane's right-hand man, after all. But he was already facing rebellion right after taking over. "If it were Kane, I'd be on my knees apologizing and wiping the debt. It's a shame you only know Stinger." Just as Hunter finished, a car pulled up, and Stinger stepped out. "Stinger! What an honor! What brings you to our shop?" In a heartbeat, Hunter's tune changed. He was now all smiles and bows. "Mr. Zeller." Ignoring Hunter, Stinger went straight to Felix and bowed. Hunter's eyes widened. It seemed this young guy was a bigger fish than he thought. "Give me your account number. I'll transfer now." Felix kept it short. Proving his earlier bravado, Hunter coughed up his account details. When the text alert pinged, Hunter checked and frowned. "500 thousand dollars? What's the deal?" Felix pocketed his phone. "I told you the price changes when Stinger shows up. Now, you only deserve 500 thousand for the principal

    At the same time, a helicopter descended over the Great Imperial Sect. Xena stepped out, accompanied by two subordinates carrying a corpse covered with a white cloth.Every seat was filled except one in the Great Imperial Sect's council hall.The five remaining elders, the sect leader, and the deputy leader were all present."Ms. Cunningham."Xena greeted Jaxon with a deep bow. The sect leader of the Great Imperial Sect, Jaxon Cunningham, sat in front of everyone with a solemn expression."It's been years, and yet you came back only to deliver a corpse. As your mentor, I can't help but feel ashamed."Anyone else could hear the dissatisfaction and anger in his tone, not to mention Xena."Mr. Cunningham, Olly was killed by a mysterious woman. I'm doing everything I can to track her down," Xena explained.Just as she finished speaking, an elder interjected."Xena, we old folks may be on the verge of death or hidden away in the mountains, but we're not ignorant. Are you trying to

    Ten minutes later, inside the council hall, the atmosphere among the Great Imperial Sect members was tense, and no one said a word."Mr. Cunningham! Are we really going to detain Xena like this? Is that fine?"The deputy sect leader, who was arrogant and dismissive of Xena, now appeared worried.After all, while his seniority might allow him to treat her this way, Xena's identity as the goddess of war was a whole different matter."Exactly, Mr. Cunningham. Xena is the goddess of war, and if Hector gets involved, we're in serious trouble."In Dragonia, were there sects that dared to defy the Warlord of the East openly? Yes. But the Great Imperial Sect was definitely not one of them. The authority of the Warlord of the East wasn't just an empty title.However, Jaxon didn't seem concerned."There's no need to worry! We'll just say that Xena was deep into her cultivation and returned to the Great Imperial Sect to go into seclusion. Even the Warlord of the East won't interfere."The

    "Clement?" a middle-aged man with a huge belly stepped out and called out when he spotted Clement."Oh, Vernon. Are you having dinner here, too?" Clement forced a smile and kept his tone polite, though he actually could not stand the sight of the man. Vernon Parker had been one of his company's veterans. After he took over when his father passed, he quickly discovered Vernon's shady dealings behind the scenes. If left unchecked, those schemes would have eventually bankrupted the company. So, Clement had fired him without hesitation. Life had a twisted sense of humor, though. Vernon's nephew had struck it rich, which meant Vernon was now doing quite well himself. He would use his new power to undermine Clement's company whenever possible. As Vernon walked over, his smile dripped with contempt. "Drop the act. We both know where we stand." Clement maintained his composure. "Whatever happened, you were still one of our first employees. It's only right that I show you proper respec

    At the Tranquil Clinic, a man walked in. "How can I help you today?" Melissa greeted him but immediately felt something was off. The visitor's gaze wandered shamelessly over her body. Even though she was fully dressed, she felt an urge to cover herself with her arms. "You fatso! What's wrong with you? What the hell are you looking at? Get out!" Melissa was not one to hide her feelings. Even if the fat man was actually sick, she would not be polite since he was being way too inappropriate. The man cleared his throat and finally looked away. "Is Felix here? I'm his brother!" Brother? Melissa was startled and quickly changed her attitude. "Oh, you're my boss' brother! Please, come in." Just then, Felix's voice rang out, "Like hell he is!" After just coming out of the bathroom, Felix was instantly annoyed when he heard those words. When he saw it was actually Billy, the supervisor from Sixview Peak, he became even more irritated. "Come on, Felix. I must be a few months older

    Felix pretended to think for a moment before saying, "I treated someone who works at a bank. We're on good terms, though I'm not sure about his position there or if he can help." Willow's eyes instantly brightened up. "Really?" But she quickly became self-conscious. "No, we shouldn't burden you with using your connections. Just forget I mentioned it." Felix smiled. "They say good neighbors are like family. It's fate that brought us together as neighbors—and Queenie, too. If there's any trouble, of course, I'll help if I can. I'll make a call tomorrow and contact Clement if it works out." At this point, Willow could not refuse. Besides, the company was nearly at a dead end. Felix was not really an outsider anymore, and he had proven himself trustworthy, though they hadn't known each other long. …The next morning, Clement called just as Felix arrived at the clinic. "Felix, please don't listen to Willow's rambling. She sometimes speaks without thinking, so don't take it seriou

    No one expected Felix to be so harsh toward Craig. Even Xena was startled. "You!" Craig's expression darkened; no one had ever dared treat him this way. It was utterly humiliating. "Get out of my clinic! Now!" Felix would not have gone this far if Craig had apologized earlier. But now he was only apologizing because he realized it was the Seven Points of Transcendence. That was too late! "Hmph!" It would be too humiliating for Craig to stay there, so he turned and stormed out. Only Xena remained. "You went too far. Craig holds a high position at headquarters." Felix's smile returned. "Don't worry. I couldn't care less about trash like him." Before Xena could respond, she remembered something. Their legendary Chief Commander was Felix's fellow apprentice. If Craig tried to use his position against Felix, he would be fighting a losing battle. "Got it. Anyway, thank you for everything," Xena said.Felix pointed to his cheek with a chuckle. "If you want to thank me, how abou

    Craig chose to ignore those comments. Until Candace revealed her information, no one could touch her. "Well, well, are you trying to weasel your way out of this?" Candace questioned."Weasel my way out?" Craig glanced at Felix with coldness and disdain. "I was practicing medicine before you were even born. If it weren't for your dumb luck today, you wouldn't even deserve to speak to me. Let's go, and bring Candace along!" Xena could only shake her head apologetically at Felix as she followed Craig toward the exit. But then Felix's voice rang out, "This is the Seven Points of Transcendence! It harnesses the essence of all things. While I won't claim it can raise the dead, it comes pretty close. "The final step requires all seven needles to merge into one before injecting the extracted essence back into the patient. Only then is the technique complete. Are you trying to take my patient away before I've even finished the treatment?" Everyone froze in their tracks. Candace was t

    At this moment, Xena and the Warlord of Thunder knew the symptoms all too well. After all, they had witnessed it happening before when Candace's martial energy went haywire. Did this mean that not only had Felix failed, but Candace was also going to die? If the situation weren't so dire, Craig would have burst out laughing. "You fool! When Candace's martial energy starts activating like this, not even the gods can save her. Those seven needles weren't meant to heal; they would just accelerate her condition. You clearly have bad intentions!" Beside him, Marine Asura's expression darkened too. Everyone knew how important Candace was, and he felt partially responsible for this situation. "Who said I failed?" Felix remained calm as he threw the question back at Craig. "How dare you argue with me? I've examined Candace's condition myself. Another surge of martial energy will kill her! Don't think you can dodge responsibility with empty words!" As he spoke, Craig thrust an accusi

    Xena wanted to speak up for Felix, but she realized it would be futile, considering even the Warlord of Thunder didn't dare to say a word. Not only would her efforts be meaningless, but she might also end up offending Craig.Suddenly, Felix turned to Craig and said, "Fine! I'll treat her in front of all of you. But if I succeed, you must bow and apologize to me."Craig gritted his teeth. "What did you just say? Even your mentor has to show respect to me. How dare a young brat like you try to humiliate me?"Felix sneered. "If you don't agree to it, I'll take my leave now. I'm sure someone of your caliber, as a master healer, will have no trouble curing Caden. Why would I make a fool of myself?" "If you won't agree, I'll take my leave now. I'm sure someone of your caliber—a master healer—can handle curing Candace without any problem. Why should I embarrass myself?"Seeing Felix actually turning to leave, Xena chose to let him be. She knew it would be uself to try to make him stay. On

    Craig responded with great confidence, "Based on your physical condition, I'd say you have at least two months to live. But it's hard to say if we factor in the backlash from your martial energy."Candace sneered. "Ha! I knew you were a joke. Dr. Zeller could tell with just one look that I only had a few days to live. You can't compare to him! Hurry up and bring Dr. Zeller to treat me!"Craig, who had been crouching, stood up in fury."Fine! Let's see how capable this Dr. Zeller of yours really is. You said he's better than me? Warlord of Thunder, go bring him back this instance."In fact, Craig had already thought it through. He didn't have much confidence in treating Candace. If her martial energy activated during treatment, he would be the one responsible for her death, destroying his hard-earned reputation.But with Felix as a scapegoat, he could easily shift the blame onto him.The Warlord of Thunder was astonished.Craig was one of the best physicians in Dragonia.

    "Happy now?" Xena asked, her expression displeased."Very," Felix replied with a smile and a nod. Dealing with someone like Xena required a different approach. In fact, he wasn't trying to take advantage of her—it was just a way to keep their dynamic intact. After all, chances to outmaneuver Xena didn't come often.As the sun set, the people from headquarters finally arrived—a gray-haired elder and a middle-aged man."Greetings, Marine Asura and Dr. Dixon," Xena said politely.She had already given Felix a heads-up about the two visitors. The middle-aged man was Marine Asura, a Hellbringer from headquarters, whose strength was so formidable that even the Warlord of Thunder was no match for him.The elder was Craig Dixon, the most skilled physician in the headquarters."Who is he? Why is he allowed to be here?" Craig asked, glancing at Felix with a frown. His curt tone hinted at his bad temper. "Dr. Dixon, this is Felix Zeller, the owner of this clinic. He's a reclusive expert,
