Dazed, Yvonne sat on the couch. She could not comprehend this. Last time, George had personally shown up to cause Felix some trouble. When he left in the end, she had assumed Felix was just too unimportant for George to bother with. That was why Felix had been let off the hook, or so she thought. After hearing their conversation over the phone now, she finally understood. She had been puzzled all this while. George was not the type to let things slide. Spoiled as he was, he was not stupid. If he could mess with someone, he would certainly go for the jugular. Yet, Felix had walked away unscathed. "Why on Earth is George so cautious around Felix? And since when does he call anyone 'Mister'?" These questions buzzed around in Yvonne's head, which gave her a migraine. She even wondered if she should be reporting this to her boss. After some contemplation, Yvonne decided to keep it to herself. If she had not slept with Felix, she would have spilled every detail. But now that Geor
Two days flew by. A plane touched down in Yartford at 10:00 am. Not long after, Felix and Jack hugged at the exit. Jack teased Felix the moment he landed, "Were you worried I've got something going on with Madeline? Coming all the way to Yartford to keep an eye on us, huh?" Felix playfully punched his arm. "Come on. Let's head to the restaurant. Madeline's already waiting for us."The Golden Prime Auction was not until evening, so Felix had time to kill. Plus, he wanted to see how Madeline was adjusting to life in her new city. "Life is interesting sometimes. Maddy's life in Avesburgh was hellish. But ever since she bumped into you, it totally changed for the better after she moved to Yartford." Intrigued, Felix asked while they were in the car, "What do you mean? Are you talking about her career or love life?" Jack flashed a double thumbs-up. "Both." As Jack filled him in, Felix could not help but smile. With the few million dollars he had given her, Madeline had rented a
Felix was not surprised. Yale was the Dragon Alliance's vice leader and now held the Dragon Ring as the new Dragon Lord. Tracking Felix's movements would not be hard. "What if you're not bored?" Felix asked. Harold chuckled and said, "Simple. I just got to Avesburgh, right? Though everyone's calling me Lord Jamison, the truth is I'm short on cash. My place is pretty crappy. "So, I was wondering if you would lend me your big villa to crash in? And you know I don't like sharing a roof with others. You get it, don't you?" He wanted Felix's house? Felix said, "Fine. I'll give you the passcode. You can move in today and stay as long as you like." Harold laughed. "Thanks! Guess I won't be heading to Yartford, after all." After hanging up, Felix's mood remained unaffected. Harold thought he had all the time in the world to play games, but it was quite the opposite. With Averill's skills, finding Yvette would only take a few days. The Golden Prime Auction was set to start at
Wendy tucked the ticket away and picked up her coffee with a smile. She said, "What trouble? You're overthinking, Felix. I'll just return the ticket. It's no big deal. "Cheers! Here's hoping you snag that Moon's Tear at the auction!" As Felix took a sip of coffee, he got a call from George. "Mr. Zeller, are you there yet? I'm on my way." "Yeah, I'm at Sunside Café.""Cool! I'll meet you there. It won't be long." Just as he hung up, a middle-aged man appeared at their table. "Ms. Kinsley, you know Mr. Jackman's temper. We've got five minutes left. You'd better come with me now." A flicker of panic crossed Wendy's eyes. She hurriedly stood up while pulling out the ticket again. "Please give this back to Mr. Jackman. My friend already has a ticket. Tell him I'm grateful and that I'll make it up to him however I can." But the man did not take it. Instead, he sneered and said, "Wendy Kinsley, when has Mr. Sean Jackman ever taken back something he's given? Everyone in Yartford
The middle-aged man spun around. Seeing who had tapped his shoulder, his scowl instantly melted into a fawning grin. "Mr. Zimmerman? You... You must be joking. I'd never dare summon you." Without warning, George, who had just appeared, slapped the man hard across the face. "You piece of trash! How dare you talk to Mr. Zeller like that?" Mr. Zeller?The man's mind went crazy as he started to panic. Did George really call this guy "Mr. Zeller"? No way! Felix was Wendy's friend, so his social status had to be so low that he would not even be fit to lick Sean's boots.But the evidence was right in front of him, and he did not dare doubt it. "Mr. Zimmerman, please forgive me. I had no idea." Another slap landed. George waved his hand dismissively. "Get out! You're not even worthy of apologizing to Mr. Zeller. Tell Sean Jackman about this. He'll know how to deal with it." "Yes, yes! I'm leaving right now!" Felix kept quiet. With George stepping in, Wendy was out of the woods.
Felix and George settled into the fourth row, gesturing to the staff to push their single-seater chairs together. Considering the high-profile attendees present, Felix could not help but feel curious about George's bold move. It was a clear statement to others about their close relationship. "Showing me this much love? What if my ties with Moonshadow Alliance aren't as close as you think?" Felix teased. George shrugged casually and said, "Come on. A friend is a friend, and having more friends means more opportunities. I'll prove myself through actions. If I ever need your help and you're able and willing, I won't hesitate to ask. If you can't, no hard feelings. Life's unpredictable, you know?" Felix nodded in agreement, a smile playing on his lips. Then, George continued, "The first three rows are off-limits to the younger crowd."George's explanation hinted at his own elevated position. In other words, the fourth row onward was where the younger generat
George keenly noticed the change in Felix's expression. He patted Felix's shoulder sympathetically and said, "Tough luck, Felix. Take my advice—you can't outbid Lady Nala." Felix furrowed his brow and asked, "Is it always about money at the Golden Prime Auction?"If it came down to cash, Nala might have the upper hand; someone with her status in Yartford would surely not be short on funds. Unless Gerald's assets were unfrozen for him, Felix was unsure if Leslie's Concord Bank's Supreme Black Card would suffice. George explained, "Not always. Most items go for cash, but some have weird requirements. You never know until the moment arrives." With concern evident in his voice, he added, "Felix, you're not seriously thinking of competing with Lady Nala, are you?" Felix could not help but chuckle. "What's wrong? Worried that I'll drag you into this?"To his surprise, George shook his head. "That's not it. It's all fair game in auctions. Besides, Lady Nala isn't petty enough to hold
George had murmured under his breath, which piqued Felix's interest. Indeed, for the first time, no one in the entire hall placed a counterbid, proving that George had not been exaggerating."30 million dollars," the electronically-altered voice from earlier announced. It was done to protect the identity of those in the private boxes. Knowing the drill, the auctioneer did not wait for another bid and immediately brought the hammer down. He declared, "Sold for 30 million dollars! Congratulations!" Even though Nala could have easily won with a casual bid of a few hundred thousand, she chose to pay a respectable amount. It spoke volumes about her wealth and integrity."Still think you have a shot at Item 18?" George persisted, trying to dissuade Felix from challenging Nala as he was unaware of just how crucial Moon's Tear was to him."We'll see. I think I know what Lady Nala is up to," Felix replied.George could not help but be curious and asked, "Oh? Care to share?"Felix expl
"Fire Dragon!" Huge flames appeared above Felix out of nowhere. After a spin, the flames headed toward Oliver, who was in midair.The flames collided with the Cross Slayer mid-way. They diminished quickly. As both moves collided, Felix didn't dare to pause at all because the attacks of Luca, Charles, and the others had reached the point where he didn't have the chance to catch his breath."Dancing Dragon!" The Dancing Dragon was deployed again. It cut off the sudden attack. The movement was so smooth that it couldn't be compared to the previous one. When there was an empty spot, Oliver entered through the only ball of flame and hit Felix on the chest. Felix spat out a mouthful of blood and stumbled a few steps back."Help me put out the fire! He has already used all his strength. He is no longer a threat!"When Luca and the others were about to kill Felix when the latter was weak, they were summoned by Oliver.Felix stood in the same spot and didn't dare to move because his en
"Rising Dragon!" When Felix made a move, Luca's and Charles' expressions changed. The two took action simultaneously. With a loud boom, Felix was nowhere to be seen. It turned out it was a decoy."Can he escape?" Luca and Charles disappeared. Meanwhile, the other members of the Jacobs family had only reached Pulse Realm, so they couldn't participate in this battle. They could only wait in the same spot."Levi! Isn't Felix a bit too exaggerating?" Someone asked, but Levi couldn't answer him because he was still stunned.Charles and Luca were superb martial arts masters in the middle stage of the Blood Realm. It was already terrifying that Felix could escape with one move.One yard away, Felix stopped because three other people appeared before him. Their faces were all covered.Although they seemed unremarkable at first glance, their demeanor caused Felix to have a serious expression for the first time.The two were in the middle stage of Blood Realm, while the other had reached th
Actually, Felix was trained in Dragons Destroyer. There were five pieces of the Dragonspine in his body as well. He could fight against someone at a higher cultivation level than him with no issue.But he didn't dare to act recklessly in the current situation because Elders' Council was involved as well. He couldn't be certain that there wasn't anyone else from Elders' Council present aside from Luca.Elders' Council had suffered losses because of Felix. Once they had gotten a hold of the news, they would definitely kill him."Felix, you're so young, yet you're already so strong. You're indeed gifted, but being cunning and having good strategies only come with age. Do you think that we don't know you're stalling for time by talking nonsense?"Luca exuded his strong presence as he raised his right hand. "I only cooperated with you because I need the Jacobses to witness me killing you. Otherwise, you would have been dead long ago!"At this time, the people who rushed over from afar
When Charles spoke up, Felix had already secretly made a call to the phone Dahlia left behind. As for whether or not she could arrive in time, that depended on fate.It acted as a layer of security. Felix had the Speed Talisman given by Gerald. If he couldn't win, he could still escape. Even if he couldn't escape, at least he could buy some time."The Jacobs family? I've never heard of this family before."Looking at Felix, Charles snorted. "You're so young, yet you already have such great capability. You dare to do it, but you're afraid of admitting it? I have seriously overestimated you in the past! Do you dare to say that you didn't kill Mason, who's a genius in my family?"Everything was just to buy some time. Felix looked as though he had thought of something. "Mason? You're right. I killed him. I only killed him because he wanted to kill me. I can't possibly just tie my own hands and let him kill me, can I?"Felix didn't expect Charles to be so overbearing. "That's right!
"I've thought it through! If Abyssal Surge Sect were a decent sect, I wouldn't have had a dispute with you guys. If a patient found me, I wouldn't refuse to treat the patient, either. But for the things you've done, how are you any different from beasts? "You want me to respect you? Abyssal Surge Sect is nothing to me!"Hendrick never expected Felix to say such things. He immediately got up. "Alright, then. I'll let the sect know your attitude when I go back. I hope you can still be so stubborn when we meet next time."Abyssal Surge Sect trained Skybound Revenants and let them kill people once they were skilled. If Felix looked up to Abyssal Surge Sect, he could just die.He was currently under attack from all sides. If he weren't in this situation, he would have already annihilated Abyssal Surge Sect to remove the threat once and for all.…The wedding was carried out successfully. Felix drank quite a lot of alcohol as well. Soon, the wedding was coming to an end. After toastin
Felix's expression changed, but he still smiled and said, "It is a large sect. It's a good thing."Although he said that, he thought, "Fuck! They investigated this so quickly. Are they treating me as an enemy already?"To be honest, he felt as though he was taking the blame for someone else. From the beginning to the end, this matter had nothing to do with him."Why are you glaring at me?" Billy ran his finger through his buzz cut and opened the mirror. "Did I get more handsome?"Felix wanted to cry. Billy was the one who found the Skybound Revenant, so why did Abyssal Surge Sect shift the hatred to Felix?…Around 9:00 am, Felix brought Melissa to a hotel's banquet hall, where weddings in Canraville were held. George, Ryan, Madeline, Luke, Wendy, and the others had arrived. They were all people Felix knew."This is my sister, Melissa."Upon arriving there, Melissa acted quite shy. "Nice to meet everyone."Then, George and Ryan fought to give Melissa a seat."Melissa, sit her
Felix felt speechless. "I said, as long as you're willing to help, in addition to the agreed dojo, you'll also get a chance to dine with Dreamscape."After receiving confirmation, Billy patted his chest and said, "Humph! Don't insult me with these rewards. As a citizen, cooperating is my duty. Just leave it to me!""Damn it, Billy!" Felix thought, trying to suppress his irritation."Time to work my magic and track down that Skybound Revenant," Billy suddenly said. "Everyone, leave! Phoenix Warlord and Felix, you two stay."At Alistair's command, everyone quickly evacuated, leaving only the three of them in the open space.Felix waved his right hand, sending out a wave of energy to ensure there were no living people around and that the village was empty before signaling Billy to begin.He was being cautious, worried that a member of Abyssal Surge Sect might still be nearby. But he was probably overthinking it—after all, even the boldest person wouldn't risk staying here for too lo
"Come out and face me if you dare. Otherwise, stop barking like a dog!" Felix snapped.The voice vanished. Felix quickly asked, "Can you tell me what sect Candace exposed?"Alistair remained silent, unwilling to speak. Xena hesitated for a while before using voice transmission to say, "It's Abyssal Surge Sect. But you must keep this to yourself."She chose to confide in Felix because she had absolute trust in him.Felix thought, "Abyssal Surge Sect—the second of the top super sects. Those bastards really have some nerve."He then asked, "So, with no actual evidence, I take it Abyssal Surge Sect is untouched?"Xena sighed in frustration. "Yes. We can't act on Candace's testimony alone. Even if they were a minor sect, we'd still need evidence before taking any steps."Felix sneered. It made sense now why someone would risk reaching out to him via voice transmission, trying to pressure him into fabricating evidence. They knew there was no proof.Even if he told Xena about the
After hearing Alistair's explanation, an image suddenly flashed in Felix's mind."Hold on. I might know an expert in this field. The question is whether he'll agree to help."When Felix glanced at Xena, she immediately understood and, after a brief hesitation, nodded. With dozens already dead, they couldn't afford to delay any longer—who knew how many more lives might be lost?"Fine. Ask him. If he can genuinely help, there will definitely be a reward," Xena assured him.But before making the call, Felix had another question. "What about those elite experts you mentioned earlier? Haven't they been deployed?"Xena sighed. "They've been deployed to key cities. Each one can monitor multiple locations and immediately detect a Skybound Revenant if it appears. The problem is, these revenants might possess intelligence, allowing them to sense danger."They could deliberately target remote, impoverished areas or deep wilderness regions. But those are still living, breathing citizens of D
