"Let him in immediately!"After recalling the incident, Jaxon hurriedly gave the order. What shocked everyone was that the moment the words left his mouth, a young man suddenly appeared in the hall.No one present had noticed how he entered.Jaden was a handsome young man with a unique air, which set him apart. He was the type that would stand out instantly in a crowd."Mr. Cunningham, I am Jaden Hault, the Ninth Elder of Crimson Sage Sect. Nice to meet you," Jaden greeted with a calm smile.Although this was a rather casual gesture considering their ranks, Jaxon didn't take it as arrogance. Instead, he eagerly stepped down from his seat, no longer daring to remain at the head of the hall."Mr. Hault, it is an honor for the Great Imperial Sect to receive someone of your stature," Jaxon said warmly.After the two sat down, Jaden finally spoke, "I've come today for your student, Xena. I believe you've already recalled what my mentor told you eight years ago?"Jaxon nodded. "I tho
Finally, Dora made up her mind. "Let's do this! I, Dora, have never gambled once in my life. But this time, I'll go crazy with you!"Just as she finished speaking, three cars suddenly appeared, blocking the road both in front and behind. Dora was forced to slam on the brakes."Are they out of their minds? Who dares block my car?"But the next moment, she saw the license plates and immediately knew she was in trouble."Damn! It's my dad's car."Sure enough, the door of the Rolls-Royce opened, and a middle-aged man stepped out. Right beside him was her brother, Sam."Damn it! It was Sam. He must have ratted me out."Dora turned to Felix with a pitiful expression. "Felix, can you come down with me? Otherwise, my dad will definitely kill me this time. Please help me explain."Felix sighed. He did owe Dora a favor for helping him earlier, so doing her this small favor was no big deal."Alright."After they stepped out of the car, the middle-aged man's expression softened slightly
Bradley's sudden reaction left Zachary stunned for a moment, but he quickly chuckled."Felix? He was just a friend of mine."Before he could finish, Bradley's sharp gaze locked onto him, and his tone became sterner. "Tell me the truth. Is he really just a friend, or are you trying to dig up information about Felix?"How could Bradley not know his nephew's character? Zachary was notorious for stirring up trouble. As the commander of the Phoenix Legion, Bradley had dealt with all sorts of cunning individuals. He could easily tell when someone was lying.The room fell silent as everyone turned to watch, especially Benedict. He stood up and sternly said, "Tell your uncle the truth!"A man of his experience could easily sense the seriousness in Bradley's demeanor.Although Zachary was puzzled, he hurriedly told the truth, "Uncle Bradley, it's true. I wanted to find out more about Felix. We had some disagreements, but it's not a big deal. I saw with my own eyes that the Phoenix Legion t
"Felix, I'm Bradley Sutton, colonel of the Phoenix Legion. My grandfather was once comrades-in-arms with Mr. Holt Senior."Felix's attitude naturally shifted when he heard Bradley's introduction. If Ernest was a war hero, how could Bradley's grandfather be any less significant?"Hey, Bradley, what can I do for you?" Felix asked with a friendly tone."Alright. Zachary is my nephew. From what I understand, your disagreement with him isn't too serious. Could you do me a favor and allow him to apologize to you? Honestly, I only just found out about this situation."Felix pulled the car over to the side of the road, smiling. "Since it is you, of course, I'll give you this courtesy."After all, their disagreement hadn't gone too far. If it had, even Bradley's intervention wouldn't have helped."Thank you very much. I'll make sure my cousin keeps an eye on Zachary in the future."With that matter resolved, Felix turned his car around and decided to head home.…Meanwhile, Dora, who w
After Felix arrived at Tabiner Bay, he pulled into the parking lot and handed his keys to the security guard. He then told Dora to send someone over for the car. As he walked past Yvonne's villa, he noticed her sitting in her yard, even though it was already late. "Want to come in for a bit?" she offered after they locked eyes. "It's alright. I'm kind of tired." Curiosity flickered in Yvonne's eyes. Felix actually managed to get back from the Phoenix Legion unscathed. It seemed unlikely that they would arrest someone by mistake. It would be ridiculous if the Phoenix Legion had mobilized their teams without solid evidence, wouldn't it? "What other secrets are you hiding, Felix?" As Yvonne muttered to herself, she steeled herself. This was precisely why she was sent here. But part of her hoped she would not uncover anything. If she did, the chances of him being together with her boss might just become higher. Felix had barely stepped into his yard when Sherlyn dashed over.
Outside, Jaden was approaching slowly with a faint smile on his face. "He can't even sense the killing intent I'm releasing on purpose. This Felix guy is pretty average, isn't he?" He wanted to test the waters. Otherwise, nobody could have noticed his movements with his skills. "Are you Jaden Hault?" A woman suddenly appeared and blocked his path. Jaden squinted as he sized her up. He then smiled. "Well, well, if it isn't Xena Summers! Never thought our first meeting would be at such a place and timing." Jaden had seen Xena's pictures countless times. Even if she had looked hideous, he would still marry her and treat her well. That was because his mentor's divination demanded it. However, what man wouldn't appreciate beauty? He had been struck by her looks in the photos, so he was naturally overjoyed. He had basically already claimed her as his woman. "You're indeed very strong. I can tell just from your killing intent." Xena had mixed feelings about this. She never expecte
Xena knew Jaden had already achieved the level of Martial King. He was capable of projecting Primordial Energy to kill invisibly. The security cameras had already been destroyed. There would be no evidence even if the murder happened right before her eyes. Martial artists of this caliber were normally handled by the headquarters. Even as the goddess of war, she was not qualified to face someone of his strength. In desperation, Xena blurted out, "If you kill him, I will never be with you!" Frowning, Jaden lowered his hand. "Fine. I'll spare his life since you're the goddess of war and have duties to fulfill. But you'll have to explain this to your mentor. If not, my vow to him would become a joke."Xena sighed in relief. "I'll explain everything." The two of them left.In the yard, Felix had just seen Sherlyn off, too. He merely glanced their way without much concern. He would have confronted Jaden for sure if Xena had not been there. But since she was present, he preferred no
It was just a joke. Ernest continued, "Promise me something. If you give it a shot and still don't have any feelings for Sherlyn, tell her straight. I'm worried she'll fall too hard and end up hurting more later." Felix gave a wry smile. "Do you really think I'm that irresistible?" To his surprise, Ernest nodded firmly. "That's right. Some people are born to be great. So, women would flock to them naturally. My granddaughter is not some untouchable goddess after all—it's only natural she'd fall for you." Such high praise made Felix feel a bit awkward. "If that's how it turns out, I will." This seemed to be just the warm-up. Ernest set down his fishing rod and looked Felix in the eyes. He said, "I've got a favor to ask you." Felix became a bit fidgety. "You're always making me nervous." Ernest waved him off with a grave look. "This is about our national pride. I don't take that lightly. Our Dragonian culture has kept martial arts alive for thousands of years, and the same
