Chapter 252

Author: Dreamy Fire
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

    Felix stood up. He had never seen Gerald this furious before, so something big must have happened. "I'm listening, Mr. Hoffman." Even Ernest looked over curiously. For someone as young as Felix to have such exceptional medical skills, his mentor could not be an ordinary man, either. "Guneria's gone too far! How dare they look down on our traditional medicine that's been passed down for generations? There's going to be a medical competition with them soon." Felix then realized that Gerald's anger was because of the same thing Ernest had just mentioned. "Mr. Hoffman, another respectable hero had already asked me to participate. Don't worry. I'll make sure those Gunerian jerks leave in tears." Gerald laughed. "Is that so? Then, I won't say much more. If you don't crush them completely, don't bother showing your face to me again." "Mr. Holt Senior, my mentor's call was about the same thing. He's furious, too." Ernest smiled. Having devoted himself to the country, he naturally

    Just then, Yvonne's boss called. "Miss." "That woman in the photo you sent yesterday is Sherlyn, Ernest Holt's granddaughter." What? Ernest Holt? Yvonne was shocked. Having followed her boss for so long, of course she would know such a prominent figure. "My goodness, miss! How could someone of Sherlyn's status be associated with Felix?" Surprisingly, she laughed. "Ernest has settled in Avesburgh, right next door to Felix. Given how low-key Ernest is, some interaction as neighbors should be normal. It's probably just surface-level pleasantries, nothing big."As for why Sherlyn helped Felix, perhaps Ernest just didn't like how the Phoenix Legion was making such a fuss over an ordinary person, so he sent his granddaughter to smooth things over. No need to read too much into it. "But if Felix really did earn Ernest's support, he might just have a shot at climbing the social ladder." The call ended abruptly, leaving Yvonne with a bitter smile. The reason why her boss could be

    "Just give me the account number." Logan smiled. Judging from Felix's attitude, things would be easier to deal with. "Not so fast. After paying, this Harold kid has to be a greeter at the restaurant entrance for a week. He'll have to be on his knees and greet every customer who comes in round the clock." Felix, who was about to open his banking app, frowned at Logan. "Is that really necessary?" Harold cheerfully shrugged. "I don't mind. I trashed their stuff, so of course I should apologize properly." Despite Harold's nice words, he would likely kick up a fuss once the money was transferred. This was clearly meant to humiliate him, so there was no way he would actually kneel there as a greeter. "Who owns this place?" At this point, Felix had to address the root of the problem. Logan looked Felix up and down with a disdainful look. "What? Trying to pull strings? Let me tell you something. The owner of this restaurant is way out of your league. Even Avesburgh's richest couldn

    Good lord! Terrified, Logan swallowed hard. Felix must have had an insanely powerful background if even Zachary had to speak that way to him. "Y-Yes, Mr. Xanthos. I understand." Felix then said to Zachary, "You don't need to see me anymore. Let's end this here." After Felix hung up, Logan broke out in a cold sweat. He fell to his knees. "Mr. Zeller! I'm sorry for being so blind and offending you. Please spare me. I have parents and children to feed, I..." Felix waved him off. "I won't do anything to you. After all, you gave me a chance earlier. I'm taking him with me." As Harold followed Felix out, his face darkened. He could not believe that even the Xanthos family, the second richest family in Avesburgh, could be so afraid of Felix. How was this possible? "Harold, you can keep trying to annoy me like this, but remember this. Once I find your mom, the price you'll pay will only get steeper." After leaving those words behind, Felix set off. Harold punched the wall in fr

    Hearing Vivian say the same thing, Felix thought he must have misheard. After all, Vivian was the deputy chief of the Earthern Hall in Dragon Alliance. How could she not get a ticket to this so-called Golden Prime Auction? "Felix, Golden Prime Auction tickets are never sold. They're distributed based on qualifications, and it's only held once a year. No one who gets a ticket ever resells it. Even among our Dragon Alliance chiefs, only a select few qualify as far as I know." Felix understood now. Though Vivian did not say it outright, it was clear that Kane, who had just become chief of Oasis Clinic, would not make the cut. "I see." On the other end, Vivian felt bad. Felix had only asked for one thing, yet she was powerless to help. The key was that Yale had taken the Dragon Ring now. If not, getting a ticket would have been a breeze. Without the Dragon Ring, only she and Kane would recognize Felix as the Dragon Lord. Others would not see him that way anymore. The Dragon Allia

    Yvonne looked at Felix with a strange expression. "I don't know what you're planning, but people like that block all unknown numbers. It'd be useless even if I gave you his number." Felix had forgotten about that. He hesitated, then said, "Can I use your phone to call him, then?" To his surprise, Yvonne handed over her phone without hesitation. But she warned, "Whatever you're going to say, apologize immediately if he gets angry, and don't say anything else." "I understand." Yvonne was curious about Felix's intentions. It would not matter even if this angered George and he took it out on her. Unlike last time, this was not her personal issue. With Felix involved, her boss would not stay out of it. George would have to behave if she stepped in. Felix went into the guest room on the first floor and dialed George's number using Yvonne's phone. It rang for a long time before someone picked the call up. "Yvonne, make it quick. I'm busy." "George, it's Felix."There was a ru

    Delilah said, "Your words have brought back memories. That old man is cunning and sly. While I don't consider him a real threat, removing him won't be a simple task. "He comes from the royal lineage and holds a high position as the general of the city's defense forces. His demise would not go unnoticed by the royal family." Felix was smart, but Delilah's tone hinted that there was more to the story. It seemed like she still had some limitations in Martial City, and there were certain individuals she couldn't risk angering."But don't worry," Delilah reassured. "I can easily transfer him out of North City to ensure your safety while you’re here." With that taken care of, Delilah got down to business. "I've already submitted your application for the Intermediate Alchemy Assessment. It will take place in five days at Harmony Clinic's headquarters. Unfortunately, I won't be able to accompany you. I made a promise to an old friend to refine some pills for him. Your presence has cau

    Jeremy was known for his ruthless nature. With a flick of his hand, he sent an invisible force toward Mindy. She had no time to even scream before she collapsed in a pool of blood, her final sound unheard. Despite murdering his own family member, Jeremy acted as though it were no big deal and even managed to force a smile. "You can make one more request," he offered casually. Once again, Felix was reminded of the heartlessness of the inhabitants of Martial City. It was a place where strength equaled power. "Release Laura. From now on, she has no relation with the Larsson family."Jeremy waved his right hand again, and the ropes binding Laura snapped. She landed safely beside Felix. "Let's go," Felix said. With a deep exhale, Jeremy finally relaxed, only to come face-to-face with Jared. "Jeremy, I believe I'm owed an explanation, don't you think?" Jeremy narrowed his eyes at Jared. If this guy weren't the son of a high-ranking general in the city defense forces, he would ha

    At that moment, Felix became aware of Jared's presence and realized the situation. Jared rose from his seat as well. "Felix, I had a feeling you'd show up to rescue Laura. "That's why I informed the head of the Larsson family beforehand, anticipating your attempt to deceive them by posing as Madam Goddard's disciple."Laura, who was in the process of getting hung, desperately wanted to say something. However, she had been silenced and could not utter a single word. The look in her eyes displayed a silent plea for Felix to leave as soon as possible and not to worry about her. If they both stayed, they would never be able to escape. However, Felix ignored her and remarked coldly, "So, you don't believe me?"Jeremy's eyes narrowed as if he were staring at something beneath him. "So today you're Madam Goddard's disciple," he scoffed. "What about tomorrow? Will another kid come along and claim to be Mr. Earnhart's disciple? And what about the day after that? It's absurd, and here

    The locations of Harmony Clinic and the Larsson residence were in completely opposite directions. Jared speculated that at Felix's speed, there was no way he could make it to both places in time to save Laura. So, once Felix made his move, he was certain to go to the Larsson residence. To guarantee the success of this plan, Jared threatened one of Andrew's subordinates with life or death, forcing them to block all signals in the area surrounding Harmony Clinic.After all, Andrew held a high-ranking position in the city defense forces and had the power to make this happen. In Martial City, one of the four major cities under the rule of the royal family alongside Imperial City, various families held power and influence. However, they are all subordinate to the royal family, and their city defense forces are under their command.As time went by, in a courtyard belonging to the Larsson family in North City, Laura hung from a rope. Though she didn't show any visible signs of physical

    It was clear to Felix that Laura was struggling to live within the Larsson family. Despite not sharing her troubles with him, he could sense her discomfort from the get-go. It was telling that she didn't even have skilled bodyguards by her side, especially considering the size and influence of the Larsson family in North City. It was unthinkable for them not to provide proper protection for their direct kin.Mindy said, "I am here to inform you that Laura has been confined to the water dungeon due to her involvement in an inappropriate relationship with a member of our household staff. She will face execution in 30 minutes. "If you have already had any relations with her, consider yourself fortunate. It is acknowledged that she possesses considerable physical attractiveness. However, if not, then it is indeed unfortunate for you."Mindy left without saying another word. Felix's expression became stern and disapproving. It was absurd to accuse Laura of having an affair with a me

    Bern stood up and pointed a trembling finger at Felix. "No one stop me! I'm going to beat this little show-off into a pulp right now!"However, no one even attempted to stop him! Delilah was laughing wholeheartedly, and Natalie was dumbfounded.This was Felix's first time refining an intermediate pill; he not only succeeded in three attempts but also made six pills? It was so terrifying that it was hard to describe. Yet, throughout all this, he was more worried about the outcome."Sit down, Bernie! You know nothing at all! My disciple has high ambitions. And here I thought he was as easily satisfied as you!"Delilah's eyes sparkled with joy. This was indeed her beloved disciple. She was also surprised by the success rate of his first intermediate refinement."Felix, making six pills on your first try has already broken the record of the alchemists of Martial City! If you don't believe me, you can ask old Bernie here how many pills he had made on his first try."Bern calmed down,

    "You truly hit the nail on the coffin, girl! Felix is a perfect match for you. If he doesn't get the Ice Dragon furnace, who else would?" Delilah exclaimed.Huh? A couple? Natalie's expression quickly changed. Her? Coupled with that pervert? That was absolutely impossible!"Alright, alright, Nattie. Since Delilah is asking for it for once, I cannot refuse. As for whether you get with him or not, that's for you youngins to decide. We won't care about the matchmaking," Bern said with a chuckle.Immediately, a silver-white furnace appeared. There were two dragons carved on each side—a total of four dragons. On the silver surface of the furnace, the dragons truly looked like they were real. "I've lifted the restrictions on it. Now, let's allow Felix to try." The smile on Delilah's face grew even wider. "Ah, you old man, you're still so kind. Let's wait until he comes out before letting him try it. He's refining the Breath Concealment pill currently."Bern nodded. "Alright. Then let

    In the end, Delilah still chose not to hold a ceremony to accept him as a disciple. She knew that Felix was still harboring a secret, and although they were mentor-mentees, they still respected each other.She was very happy that they could acknowledge each other as mentor-mentees in public without having to hide it anymore. Soon, Felix went to the secret room in Harmony Clinic to try the intermediate refinement process for the first time. Meanwhile, Atlas had already contacted an elder of the family."Herbert, I just received news from the spy at Harmony Clinic. Felix Zeller had just been accepted as Delilah's disciple!"On the other end, Herbert wondered for a long time before replying, "This complicates things. If he was merely a genius at Harmony Clinic, your earlier assumptions would've been right. "But since Felix was accepted as Delilah's disciple, this is a little difficult to deal with! I can't guarantee anything—but two things are certain. First, Harmony Clinic will st

    "Impressive! No wonder you're someone who practices Dragons Destroyer. If your family hadn't practiced it before, I would've been shocked by your terrifying martial arts talent. Haha! "This is just another benefit of having the true Dragonspine. Otherwise, how could you reach the Physical Refinement Realm so fast?" Atlas laughed.Felix shook his head again. "Is it necessary to say such things to comfort yourself? I can practice the Dragons Destroyer. I think that speaks for itself."Atlas's smile immediately vanished with those words. "Well, whether you want to or not, you'll come with me today! A mere Physical Refinement Realm martial artist means nothing to me!" "Alright, then let's see if you're able to make me go with you," Felix said as he stood up. The shutter door was pulled aside just as they were about to fight. "Two grown men with the door closed in broad daylight? What are you two doing in here?"Atlas turned around fiercely and was about to angrily spit out the wor
