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
"Simple! You've humiliated me, and you even hit Sasha. She's made it clear that I should inform you of this. Tomorrow night, go to this place and apologize to her and me. Otherwise, don't blame her for not giving any face, not even for her father," Ruth declared.Felix smiled."Alright, I'll definitely be there. You can also tell Sasha that from now until the meeting time tomorrow, she still has a chance to change her mind. Otherwise, I'll make sure she spends the rest of her life in a wheelchair."Did Sasha really think that just because Warren had her back, she could act as she pleased? She had already been involved in a lot of messy situations."Interesting. I'll be sure to pass on your message."Meanwhile, in a high-end café, Jack arrived at the entrance. Judging by the interior, he could tell that the person who had arranged to meet him wasn't ordinary. The person had only mentioned they were Felix's friend and nothing else.When he entered the room, Jack was stunned. The wo
How big was Stellar Group? It was a top-rank company in the entire Dragonia. Forget about being a vice president, just passing the layers of screening to work there was something most people could only dream of—the kind of dream that would make you laugh in your sleep. The benefits and perks offered there were unimaginable for an ordinary office worker.Plus, to add one percent of shares in the company, there were simply no words to describe how valuable that was. Most people would grab the pen and sign the contract immediately after seeing it. To put it bluntly, even if Yvonne mistreated them later, they would do it without hesitation.What was more important, poverty or dignity? Only those who had truly experienced it knew the answer.However, Jack didn't hesitate even for a second. His expression darkened, and he stood up."Ms. Cooper, I don't care what your status is. If you dare to harm my buddy, I'll give up my life to drag you down with me!"As he was about to leave, Yvon
The girl's ponytail swayed as she turned around, seemingly having heard the sound. She was indeed very beautiful, with a mix of innocence and allure that was hard to define.The girl bent over in a bow, her eyes sparkling with excitement."I'm Vivian Murphy, the deputy chief of Dragon Alliance's Earthen Hall. I've met the Dragon Lord before."If they weren't outside, Vivian would probably have already kneeled down."So, you're Vivian? It seems you've come a bit early."Felix opened the gate, and Vivian followed closely behind."I have the opportunity to serve the Dragon Lord. How could I let anything else distract me?"Vivian's heart was still far from calm. When Kane had informed her that she would be serving the Dragon Lord directly, the emotion she felt was indescribable.Once inside the living room, Felix gestured for Vivian to sit."To become a deputy chief of one of the Dragon Alliance's subsects at such a young age is an impressive achievement.""Thank you for your pra
