"I'm going to die?" the young man asked, stunned. He knew how healthy his body was. How could he be about to die?"You don't believe me? Let me show you some proof," Felix said calmly.With that, he extended his other hand toward one side of the alley, releasing a powerful suction force from his palm. This was an advanced use of Primordial Energy, something only those at the Martial Emperor level could control with such ease.The next moment, as the young man watched in disbelief, a figure was pulled through the air toward them. Judging by the expression on the man's face, it was clear he hadn't expected to be pulled out from his hiding spot."You weren't just recording for fun, right?" Felix asked.The middle-aged man who hurtled toward them was shocked, but his eyes kept darting back and forth as if calculating his next move."W-what do you want? What did you do to me? Let me go!" the man shouted.Felix gave a cold chuckle and released him. Initially, he thought the man had si
"What happened?" Xena asked.After thinking it over, Felix had decided to call Xena to handle the situation. He couldn't be bothered, and he didn't bother to treat Lennox either."Your cousin showed up out of nowhere and attacked me. I had no choice but to knock him out," Felix explained.Xena clearly didn't believe him and said, "Impossible! He's the only son of my third uncle. Just like my uncle, he is honest and straightforward. He would never attack someone without reason."Damn it! Felix was displeased that Xena didn't believe him."Oh really? Honest and straightforward, is he? I don't know about that, but he seems to be a martial arts fanatic. Am I wrong?" Felix retorted.Xena went silent. Indeed, Lennox had dreamed of practicing martial arts ever since he was young, but her uncle never allowed it. Otherwise, she would have asked him to join Phoenix Legion long ago."What about him?" Xena asked."From the moment Lennox arrived, he had been hiding behind the alley and taki
Xena stood frozen in place. Xander's words repeated in her mind. It was exactly the same as what Felix had warned her earlier."What's wrong?" Xander asked.It wasn't until Xander spoke again that she snapped back to reality, realizing now wasn't the time to dwell on those thoughts."So… Can you cure my cousin?" Xena asked hesitantly.Xander nodded. "Yes! The poison in his body is strong. It will only be triggered by physical impact. But once it is identified, treating it is quite straightforward."Suddenly, a thought struck Xena. "Wait a second. You said his body can't handle any impact, but he was knocked unconscious by someone!"A strange look crossed Xander's face. He sighed helplessly. "You're a skilled martial artist yourself. Do you really think it always takes force to knock out an ordinary person? Just a touch to the right pressure point would have been enough."Xena fell silent as she watched Xander begin the treatment, but her mind drifted back to Felix. Why had he sa
Brandon answered right away, "How could that be possible? Xander, are you out of your mind? It was Phantom Poison, and you say they've been bedridden for how long? You're overestimating me. I bet only two people in the world could cure it. "If you talk nonsense like this again, don't blame me for blacklisting you."The sound of the call ending left Xena utterly stunned."Now, do you believe me?" Xander asked.Xander's expression was grave. The situation was too strange. Curtis had been cured, but they had no clue who did it. His curiosity was piqued to the extreme. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made that call in the first place.After a long moment, Xena anxiously asked, "Then who could it be? I didn't call any famous doctor. I know my own abilities. I couldn't even afford to hire Dr. Quinn, let alone a miracle doctor."Xander cautiously said, "Think carefully. As the goddess of war, you must have arranged for someone to secretly guard the villa and protect your grandfather. It wo
When Felix arrived at the restaurant, he pushed open the private room door, but Xena wasn't there. Instead, there was only Xander, who stood up, looking shocked."You… it's you!" Xander exclaimed.With a casual smile, Felix raised his hand and was about to leave. "Sorry. Wrong room."However, Xander hastily called after him. "No! You're not in the wrong room. This is the one Xena booked."Felix hesitated for a moment, but then he walked back inside. He asked, "What's going on? Did Xena invite you too?"Xander's emotions were a tangled mess. He never would have imagined that the mysterious doctor who cured Curtis turned out to be the young man he had once met at the gathering. Fate really had a strange way of playing tricks."I asked Xena to bring you here because I suspected that someone other than Dr. Quinn cured Curtis. Now, my biggest doubt has been cleared."After hearing Xander's explanation, Felix couldn't help but laugh. He hadn't expected such a misunderstanding. It must
For instance, the God of Death was an excellent assassin skilled at hiding. Even if the Phoenix Legion managed to find him, keeping him captured would be a whole other challenge."Though my superior and yours don't exactly get along, we're still friends. Since we're in Avesburgh, I had to notify you. If we really take down the God of Death, naturally, you'll get a share of the credit," Timothy said.Xena was genuinely touched. Any one of the Thirteen Aces on the Super S-rank wanted list didn't need to be put on trial. If found, they could be killed right away. That kind of honor was unparalleled.It could be said that whoever earned such a credit would have no trouble getting promoted."Bring a few capable fighters with you; the others shouldn't join. They're just cannon fodder for the God of Death. Your job is only to locate him. When the time comes, I'll make my move with a few Asuras."Xena nodded and headed out. She was the strongest in the Phoenix Legion, yet even she wasn't
The God of Death was in no state to listen to Felix's chatter and immediately fled. Now that he was terribly injured, finding the master healer would be his only chance at survival. Felix decided not to go after him. There was no point since the Inferno Clan would not dare cross him again. Besides, it would practically be impossible for the God of Death to escape with so many martial arts masters rushing over here. This actually worked in Felix's favor. At least he could wash his hands of the whole affair and avoid all the troubles that would follow. In the nearest alley, Xena arrived at the scene. Though the thunder had died down, she could sense where it came from with her skills. While she could not confirm it was the God of Death, the sudden thunderclap was definitely suspicious. A figure suddenly darted into the opposite end of the alley. Their eyes met for a split second before the figure charged straight at her. Xena's expression fell as she recognized the old man as the
Timothy leaned in and said with a playful tone, "The Asuras and I will never reach those heights, and that's just how it is. But you're different! Don't forget to buy me a drink when you become Warlord." Xena was ecstatic. She had not expected Timothy to decline any credit and report the truth. This meant she could skip the usual evaluations and networking. She would be promoted to Warlord directly. The boost in her status would be tremendous. On her way back, Xena glanced at a courtyard residence along the street where Felix now lived. While the sight sparked a thought, she did not dwell on it. She figured that Xander must have met with Felix by now. Then she chuckled at herself. What was she thinking? How could Felix possibly have healed Curtis? He was far too young to have such amazing medical skills. …Early the next morning, Felix headed out to go fishing with Ernest. He then found a car rudely blocking his gate. The only way out would be to step over the vehicle. Whoever
