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
Felix's bold move caught the attention of everyone in the room. The crowd whispered among themselves, wondering who this newcomer was. They could not believe that he actually dared to challenge Nala as he would surely not stand a chance.Even the auctioneer, who had hosted the Golden Prime Auction for years, was taken aback by this unprecedented turn of events. It was his first time seeing someone competing against Nala.Yvonne reported, "Miss, Felix raised his hand."She was stunned by his action and could not understand what Felix was trying to achieve. It would have been understandable if he had been at the event alone. However, he was with George, who would have undoubtedly warned him beforehand.Nala's eyes sparkled with intrigue as she watched the scene unfold below. "Let's see what kind of connection he can pull out," she mused. There were only a few true master healers in Dragonia, and the top three were so highly regarded that even many so-called important figures would
The moment the auctioneer confirmed the Miracle Card's authenticity, the room erupted. The once-quiet auction hall was buzzing with discussion. After all, the power and value of a Miracle Card were impossible to ignore."F-Felix actually traded a Miracle Card for Moon's Tear?" Yvonne stuttered, dumbfounded by Felix's decision. As Nala said before, Yvonne also thought it was simply short-sighted of Felix to do so. With the right strategy, a Miracle Card could yield an unimaginable return. For instance, the Kinsley family from Avesburgh had been wise. They made a spectacle of auctioning off a Miracle Card, which caught the attention of Moonshadow Alliance. Consequently, they had gone from being a small local name to a recognized force in Yartford, gaining a foothold in record time. Hence, Yvonne regarded Felix's move as a waste.Nala's disappointment was palpable. "If you don't have anything worth keeping in Avesburgh, don't bother going back," she told Yvonne coldly.Yvonne cou
"Back then, I was an S-rank Malevolent Phantom," Donna said. "There were tons of restrictions placed on me, so I couldn't say much even if I wanted to. "But now that I've reforged my soul, those restrictions are gone. My soul power and memories are all intact, so you should understand what that means."Felix's interest immediately sparked. He knew almost nothing about the Rank-Ascending Competition, and neither did Gerald. Funny how a former Malevolent Phantom might actually be his best source of information."I don't know everything, but I can tell you what I do know, as it could be of a little help. First off, our wave of Malevolent Phantoms was just the first. "The next group coming will be from the Orion family. They're extremely powerful. One of their ancestors won the Rank-Ascending Competition generations ago. They've already contacted multiple planets, and Earth is their next target."That caught Felix's attention, as Gerald had mentioned something about powerful familie
Felix was startled. Cordelia's reaction meant something serious had happened."Mom! What's wrong?" he asked.It wasn't until he spoke that Cordelia seemed to realize her beloved Felix was awake. Without a second thought, she rushed over to him. "Felix, you're awake? Are you feeling okay? When we found you, you were covered in blood from head to toe."Felix wasn't concerned about himself."I'm fine, really. But what about you, Mom? What happened?"His question seemed to snap her out of it. Since he was alright, her expression lit up with joy."I'm just so happy. It's amazing news! Nerissa is pregnant!"Felix froze, completely caught off guard. Soon, panic kicked in. "She's pregnant? Wait. Does that mean I'm going to be a dad?"Even Nerissa looked shocked. She had only started noticing some symptoms and had gone for a checkup with Cordelia. She hadn't expected to be pregnant for real."That's right, you little rascal! Now do you see? Your mom's instincts were spot on! Look at
Just then, the Ancient Sage's meridians finally stabilized. Without wasting a second, he unleashed his strongest move once again."Lightning Matrix!"A huge mouthful of blood burst from his lips. His face went deathly pale as he activated the secret technique. Disregarding the harm he was inflicting on his body, he struck Felix. This time, he unleashed the true Lightning Matrix, not the lighter version he used against Felix previously. "Bring it on!" Felix was completely fearless now. Although his energy was locked in place and his body was paralyzed, he radiated power."I'm about to compete in the Rank-Ascending Competition. There's no way I'll die here."It was like something inside him snapped. Felix suddenly burst into motion. Instead of passively handling the attacks, he charged straight toward the three lightning palms crashing down on him.Even the Ancient Sage was shaken. He could hardly believe that a battle could escalate to this level.When the smoke finally cleared,
At that moment, within the dark clouds above, lightning began to gather. Soon, even the naked eye could see it taking the shape of a massive human palm. Felix unleashed his Dragon Punches, throwing everything he had to take down the enormous lightning palm that was crashing down on him.At that moment, Auroris emerged from the sand. Despite its disheveled fur and obvious injuries, it showed no fear of death. Standing beside Felix, it was ready to face the Ancient Sage's terrifying attack.A deafening explosion filled the air, forming a massive crater in the ground. It was more horrifying than before. A wave of sand was blasted upward, suspended for a few seconds before falling back to the ground. Stray arcs of lightning crackled in the air."What a pity," the Ancient Sage said.His breath was a little ragged. During the intense battle, his final strike had pushed his body to its limit. He felt sorry that Auroris, the beast he had grown fond of, had perished with Felix.A sudden
"You old fool! How dare you think of laying your hands on my friend? You're asking for death!" Felix roared.He coughed up blood uncontrollably, and with a thought, Auroris charged straight at the Ancient Sage.While taking advantage of the opportunity, Felix used the Seven Points of Transcendence to heal himself. With Auroris's help, he believed he could now go toe-to-toe with the Ancient Sage."Ha! This is truly excellent!" The Ancient Sage was overjoyed as he fought with Auroris. Though Auroris's strength couldn't match his own, each of Auroris's attacks was infused with a soul component, which made them incredibly formidable.The Ancient Sage felt that such a rare beast was wasted on Felix. "You little thing, why don't you just acknowledge me as your master?"Having evolved once more, Auroris had grown significantly stronger. Its intelligence was never in question—when it saw that its soul-based attacks did not affect the Ancient Sage, it immediately shifted its focus entire
As they spoke, Felix had already activated Lone Paragon, specifically its enhancement for martial strength.The saying "strike first to gain the upper hand" held especially true when facing someone as powerful as the Ancient Sage. At that moment, the Phaeron Projection appeared, and one of the most powerful secret techniques from the Six Word Mantra was unleashed in a sudden strike.The next instant, Felix's expression changed drastically. He raised his arms with a crack, and after a deafening impact, he was thrown backward."Hmph! How dare you show off such petty tricks in front of me?" The Ancient Sage scoffed. "Stick to your own path."Felix gave a bitter smile. Clearly, the Ancient Sage had more than just that soul-reflecting mirror among his collection of treasures.After defeating the S-tier Malevolent Phantoms, Felix had already reached Aetherium Realm, so his soul energy was pretty formidable.Yet, even with that powerful soul attack, he hadn't managed to injure the Ancie
After returning to Newtown, Felix's life gradually settled into a steady rhythm. Naturally, he informed his family about his upcoming departure.Thankfully, both Cordelia and Nerissa were understanding people. They didn't question him. Instead, they offered their full support and encouragement.Jack, Madeline, and the others also made a trip to Newtown at Felix's invitation. He didn't tell them anything specific, treating the meetup as a casual reunion.Days passed, and with only half a month remaining, the inevitable finally came.Felix was out shopping with Nerissa that day when an SUV suddenly pulled over beside the street. The window rolled down, revealing an ordinary-looking old man behind the wheel, staring directly at Felix."Nerissa, you should head back first," Felix said.Sensing something was up, Nerissa clutched his arm tightly. "Honey, I'm going to call Eloise and the others."They all knew about the existence of the Ancient Sage, so the moment she saw the man, she
Xena didn't look the least bit afraid. Instead, she simply turned her head and smiled."You must be Donna, the S-tier Malevolent Phantom Specter mentioned. You're the one who can peacefully coexist with Felix, right?"That's right. The newcomer was Donna. In fact, when she called Felix earlier, she was already in the city."Yes." Donna nodded.Without hesitation, Xena tossed the Mystical Explosive Orb over."I'm not interested in this thing. It's yours now. Just... don't kill me."Donna's eyes held a curious glint, but she still reached out and caught the orb."It seems like you've really changed a lot, and your instincts are sharp. How'd you know I came to kill you?"Xena stayed silent.Donna turned and walked away. "Whether I kill you or not doesn't make much difference to me. I'll spare you this time. Who knows, maybe someday, you and Felix will clash again."…Later that day, Donna sat across from Felix in a small restaurant."This is where our partnership ends," he sai
Was Felix actually qualified to learn the Phaeron Codex? Why? How was that even possible?As someone who practiced the Red Moon Reincarnation Requiem, the Scarlet Lord had faced all kinds of enemies. Even when he couldn't win, he could usually survive. There was one exception—someone who could cultivate the Phaeron Codex. That was a threat he couldn't possibly contend with.However, the Phaeron Codex was nearly impossible to find, let alone master. On top of that, its cultivation requirements were absurdly high. In all these years, no one had managed to learn it until now. And that someone was Felix?The Scarlet Lord knew then that he wasn't getting out of this alive. Running into Felix was like a rat running into a tiger. No—it was worse.Now suppressed by the Phaeron Projection, he couldn't unleash a single technique. This was the fatal weakness of the Red Moon Reincarnation Requiem. And who would've thought the second person to master the Phaeron Codex would appear at just this
