Chapter 221

Author: Dreamy Fire
After pondering it for a while more, Felix still could not put a face on that name. Not wanting to waste more time, he grabbed a machete from one of the thugs and threw it with deadly precision.

Hunter was about to retort Stinger, but he was silenced immediately.

The blade sank deep into Hunter's chest. He stared in disbelief at his chest, mumbling, "Y-You killed—"

Yet, before he could finish his sentence, blood gushed out from his mouth, and he collapsed to the ground.

Meanwhile, Sasha and Ruth screamed in terror, having never witnessed such a brutal act of violence before. The sight and smell of blood filled the air, intensifying their fear.

Felix approached Sasha, who broke down in tears. She pleaded desperately, "Felix! Please don't kill me! I'm sorry! I truly am! I promise I'll never bother you again!"

Ruth was equally terrified and instantly fell to her knees, trembling and sobbing. "It was all Sasha's idea! I had nothing to do with it! Felix, please let me go. I don't

    At 3:00 pm, Felix and Jack sat across from each other in an all-you-can-eat barbecue restaurant. Jack grinned and commented, "Great minds think alike, huh? Neither of us had lunch, so this timing is perfect."Felix looked puzzled and asked, "Don't you have work today?""Nah, I switched companies," Jack replied casually.Felix was surprised, knowing that Jack had been thriving at his previous job and was on the verge of becoming a vice president thanks to Felix's influence.Jack continued, "I just started at my new place this morning. I'm now the head of Stellar Group's Avesburgh office. It was a no-brainer, really." Seeing Felix's stunned expression, Jack chuckled and placed a few pieces of meat on Felix's plate. "Eat up, Felix. I owe you a lot, you know."Felix was baffled, knowing he had not spoken to anyone about this. He wondered how Jack had managed to land such a position without connections. After a hearty laugh, Jack explained, "The president of Stellar Group is chasi

    Felix had not met any chief leaders since taking over Dragon Alliance, so this was a first. It seemed that after the recent gathering of all chiefs, someone had finally grown restless."Let's set it for tonight," Felix replied to Vivian's call.Vivian hesitated before asking, "Mr. Zeller, could I meet you in person?""Sure," Felix agreed.Within 20 minutes, Vivian arrived. Felix had already sent Jack away, knowing his friend would have teased him endlessly about Vivian's beauty."What's the matter? Why do you need to talk about it in person?" Felix asked. Vivian sat across from him, her eyes blazing with anger. "Mr. Zeller, Mr. Jones is out of line! I can't believe he's demanding that you go to him!"So, it appeared that Yale Jones was the chief leader who had come to town. Felix frowned. "He told you that himself?"Vivian nodded. "Yes, and he insisted even after knowing your status as the Dragon Lord."Vivian was fuming. Ever since joining Dragon Alliance, she had heard co

    Xena snapped, "Enough talk! Mr. Jones is waiting inside. Listen carefully, Felix! If I catch you slipping up even once, I'll make your life a living hell!"Without Dragon Alliance's protection, Xena believed Felix would be powerless. Even though she was not close to Gregory, Jaxon was clearly affected by his death.The image of Jaxon grieving still haunted her, and she was determined to make Felix pay. If it were not for her duty as the goddess of war to follow the rules, she would have struck Felix down long ago. "There might never be a day like that between us," Felix replied calmly. He suspected Dora was not bluffing about having information on the Veilflower. If he could get his hands on it, he would be just one herb away from waking Curtis. That was the real reason for his confidence. As Felix entered the suite's bedroom, a faint breeze closed the door behind him. Then, he studied the middle-aged man standing before him with interest. The man was about six feet tall,

    Yale was taken aback, but he quickly chuckled and said dismissively, "You young folks sure know how to talk big these days."If it were not for his worry about the real Dragon Lord showing up too soon, he would have swatted Felix like a fly."This is your aunt, Yvette Harrington, right?" Yale asked, tossing a photo onto the table.Felix's expression faltered as he picked up the photo. The woman in the picture was attractive, with a sweet smile. Time seemed to have been kind to her. She was indeed his mother's younger sister—there was no way Felix would not recognize her."So this is your trump card?" Felix asked, his voice steady.Yale smiled. "Don't you think it's enough? I've investigated you thoroughly. Your father's relatives are worthless—you've taught them a lesson before I even had to lift a finger. But your aunt... She's different, isn't she?" Felix remained silent, memories flooding back. The Harrington sisters had their share of conflicts when they were younger, leadi

    Vivian felt this whole situation was not as straightforward as it seemed—just a gut instinct. Somehow, she trusted Felix more than anyone else right now.Hearing Vivian's declaration, Felix smiled. "Alright. Then, I'll have to trouble you for a bit longer. I have a task for you—I'll pay you five million dollars to flood social media with one name."Vivian looked puzzled. "What name?""Averill Davis," Felix replied. His plan was simple. He needed Averill to find Yvette. After all, Yale was a high-ranking member of Dragon Alliance, and he would surely have the means to keep her well beyond the reach of ordinary people. However, Averill was no ordinary person.…When Felix returned to Tabiner Bay, he found Nattie waiting at the entrance with Sasha in a wheelchair. She lunged at Felix, grabbing his collar. Her face contorted with rage as she shouted, "Felix, you bastard!""Can I help you?" Felix asked calmly.Nattie's body trembled with anger. "How can you be so calm? Did you do

    At that moment, Yvonne's expression suddenly became complex, as if she had something difficult to say. This piqued Felix's curiosity even more, making him wonder if the situation was not as simple as it seemed."Y-You just need to kneel before me and slap yourself twice. Then your Dragon Alliance status will be restored tomorrow," Yvonne stated, looking relieved after speaking.Yvonne figured her boss wanted to test Felix's pride and character as a man, but she could not understand why the kneeling had to be directed at her. Either way, whether Felix agreed or refused, whatever good impression he had of her would probably evaporate. Sure enough, Felix furrowed his brows and stared at Yvonne, making her nervous. He replied, "Yvonne, I didn't realize you were into that kind of thing. Thanks for trying to solve my problem! A man kneels to no one else except his mentor or seniors. Sorry, but that's a hard pass!"With that, Felix went inside, leaving Yvonne standing there alone.

    Inside, a middle-aged man sat in a chair, missing his left arm and right leg. He was casually sipping from a bottle of liquor."Are you Gabriel Wade?" Dora began.But Felix nudged her aside and spoke up, "Hello, we're sorry to disturb you." The man took another swig and looked at Felix with amusement. "I'm just a cripple. Why are you being so polite?"Felix's expression was serious. "I always respect those who've fought on the battlefield."The man chuckled. "Well, well, you're an interesting one. You can sense the killer instinct in me, huh? Impressive." Felix had indeed noticed it as soon as they entered. This man had clearly seen combat, which explained his missing limbs."You're alright, kid. I'm Gabriel Wade. What brings you here? It's been years since anyone's come around. I'm curious," Gabriel said.Dora stayed quiet, letting Felix take the lead. "Mr. Wade, I know you have the Veilflower. I was wondering if you'd be willing to sell it to me. Name your price. I need the

    Gabriel's words caught Zachary's attention. Zachary scoffed. "What a joke! A cripple with a big mouth. I wasn't raised to be scared of a guy like you."He took a drag from his cigarette and waved his hand dismissively. "Take out his other leg. Maybe then he'll understand the kind of attitude he should have when talking to me."Even Felix found Gabriel's claim about Xena a bit exaggerated, like he was just trying to scare them off. As one of Zachary's henchmen stepped forward to carry out the order, Felix moved in front of Gabriel. "This is a transaction, not an extortion. You're free to leave if you don't want to buy. There's no need for violence."Without waiting for Zachary's order, the man threw a punch at Felix. They were used to bullying others with Zachary, and anyone who dared to stand up to them had to be ready to face the consequences.A dull thud echoed through the room. Felix stood unharmed, while the attacker flew out the door, landing heavily on the ground. He tw

    The speaker was one of the triplets. Besides them, two other women were standing, with the only person seated being a bald man named Justin Odell. Justin laughed coldly. "You're a short-sighted fool! Look at how pretty and alluring this woman is. Imagine how much food she could bring us." The women immediately began flattering him. "You really have such a great vision, Mr. Odell." "Whatever you say is right." "Yes, we'll definitely listen to you." Justin smiled. "Don't worry. I'll modify your soul slightly so you'll follow my commands obediently." At that moment, Milo felt no fear. She had long been accustomed to life-and-death situations. Ever since becoming a martial artist, she had anticipated such a day. After joining the headquarters to fight Malevolent Phantoms, the chances of dying were naturally even higher. The headquarters' intelligence turned out to be wrong this time. There weren't just three B-tier Malevolent Phantoms in this village. Those two women were a

    An ordinary person would have been scared enough to run away immediately. Apart from the village ahead, the surrounding areas were completely open, with no sign of any person. Anyone would have thought they had encountered a ghost. How could they not run? But Felix was different. He raised his right hand with a frown, and a powerful suction force appeared. The next moment, something from the distance flew toward him rapidly. When he lowered his hand, a woman now stood before him. She seemed to be around 30 years old and fairly attractive."Why are you trying to act all creepy and eerie?" What intrigued him was that the woman showed no fear at all, instead looking arrogantly at him. "I'm trying to save your life. Don't ask questions. Just leave quickly." Felix laughed. "It seems my skills are stronger than yours, right?" Was this woman confused? Did she not understand who was stronger? He could not believe that she was still so deluded even when he had caught her now. Une

    Felix then said, "I have something to deal with tonight. Just do it tomorrow, as I said." Louise answered, "Yes, sir!" For Louise, Felix's words were absolute law. After being threatened by that masked mysterious person last time, he was eager for revenge. Just after leaving the meeting place, Felix suddenly furrowed his brows. Among the lackeys he had back then, the only one he had kept was Reagan. He hadn't dismissed him, thinking he might be useful later. But just now, he could sense that their connection had vanished. This could only mean two things. Either Reagan was dead, or he had escaped control. After hesitating, he called Luna. "Felix!"Her voice was filled with excitement, which made Felix feel slightly helpless. "Luna, listen carefully. Confirm the Shadowstalker Emperor's status as quickly as possible. "If he's alive, pack up and come to Dragonia with all of your family immediately. Staying in Astoria is definitely not safe." Luna had helped him a lot. While

    Felix felt awkward. He had been so confident, and then, Lars dropped the bombshell. He added, "But wait. You guys were just talking about how powerful Fifteenth Overlord is. How could he be useless against the Meyers?" Yolanda looked at him suspiciously. "Do you know Fifteenth Overlord?" Last night, her father, Giveon Zuckerberg, had asked Rick to request Louise's help. But she had held no hope—Rick was a nobody to them, after all. Even Ben, who worked under Louise, wouldn't even give him a second glance. Yet somehow, things had worked out. She felt like someone had been secretly helping her behind the scenes.Now that Felix mentioned him, Yolanda started to suspect something. "I don't know him. I figured offering him a billion dollars would make him willing to help." Lars and Yolanda looked exasperated at his words. Money truly talked—Felix was willing to offer a billion dollars just to get Louise's attention.Even if others had considered doing the same, they would eith

    Yolanda said, "Are you satisfied now? We've not only failed to get Zachariah's help, but we've also made an enemy. If the Meyers decide to attack our families, how long do you think we can survive?" Lars hadn't expected Felix to be so aggressive. He kept his head down without a word, knowing he had made a mistake. But Felix tried to help clarify things. "Calm down, Yolanda. Lars told me everything. I've already called my dad, and his think tank is analyzing your family's situation. I think they'll probably invest." Yolanda stared at Felix in disbelief. "Are you serious?" "Absolutely. With your family's survival on the line, why would I lie? Everything depends on my dad's assessment, of course. 50 billion dollars isn't pocket change. "You helped me once, and we're classmates. You should have told me about this earlier. How could I just watch you suffer and not help?" Felix smiled and said, "I can guarantee that if we invest, your dad will still run the company. We won't inte

    With Lars' help, Felix could definitely be more aggressive. And he could interfere without raising Yolanda's suspicions, too. His words immediately infuriated Zachariah. "You stupid brat! Are you talking to me?" Zachariah's two bodyguards immediately glared menacingly. "There must be a misunderstanding, Zachariah!" Sure enough, Yolanda snapped out of her daze and rushed to Felix's side. "Felix, have you lost your mind? My business is not your concern!" Clever as she was, how could she not guess that Lars had already told Felix everything? Otherwise, why would he suddenly show such hostility toward a stranger? "It doesn't matter whether I should get involved or not. I can't just let you be bullied. After all, I still owe you a favor from when we were kids." As he spoke, Felix raised his hand and made a gesture. "Get him out of here!" The manager appeared with over a dozen security guards, now approaching Zachariah. Zachariah burst out laughing. "This is ridiculous! I'm

    Felix chuckled. "Just stay out of it. I'm not an idiot." After arriving at the tennis court, they immediately spotted Yolanda playing with a slightly pudgy man with a beer belly. If Lars hadn't mentioned him, Felix would have thought the man was in his 40s. He looked way older than Felix had expected. He was the type of man who would have been completely forgettable in the crowd if it weren't for his good family background.Right then, Zachariah waved for a break and sat down next to Yolanda. "Zachariah, I've improved a bit, right?" Wiping sweat with a towel, Zachariah said with a smile, "Yeah, you've improved. But you're still far off. If I wasn't holding back, you wouldn't last three rounds." Yolanda, who never liked flattery, forced herself to say, "Of course. You're so amazing at tennis, after all. I'm nowhere near being able to actually play with you." Putting down the towel, Zachariah looked at Yolanda. "I know your family's situation, so let's cut to the chase. I'm

    Felix was exaggerating a little. Lars then said, "Felix, this isn't even funny. Yolanda was fine, so how could she end up getting assaulted and committing suicide?" Lars knew Felix would not buy the story, so he said with a bitter smile, "Alas… Since I've started talking, I'll tell you everything. The truth is, I've known Yolanda since we were teenagers. "We've always been close friends—the kind that never quite turned romantic. That's why I'm so worked up about this whole mess." Hearing his words, Felix's expression turned serious. "Tell me everything. I'll definitely help you if I can. Although it's been a long time since I last met her, I haven't forgotten the young woman who was once brave enough to help me. "If I can do something about this, I absolutely will." Regardless of whether Felix was telling the truth, Lars felt he had chosen the right person to confide in."Yolanda's family is in deep trouble. They're facing a 50-billion-dollar funding gap. Every major bank

    The hint couldn't have been any more obvious, but Felix didn't care. If the woman was a Malevolent Phantom, of course, he was more than willing to drink with her. Since she wasn't, she needed to get out of there.On the piece of paper Donna had given him was the address of this private karaoke booth. It also mentioned that the triplets inside were all Malevolent Phantoms. As for what was next, there were no further instructions. Everyone knew what was to come. Soon, the young man came back with three women who looked identical. To be honest, they weren't the most beautiful women Felix had met, but they weren't that bad. Besides, with three women, any man would've jumped at the chance. The pleasures of sex—at least for men—were divided into two aspects, physical and mental. According to some experts, the mental pleasure of sexual intercourse is more important than physical pleasure. For example, if a man got lucky enough to sleep with a celebrity, the excitement from it was somet
