Dora had always been a nice person. She was still being polite even after Felix had already told her she could cash in that favor anytime. "Just tell me. I will help you if I can," Felix said."Great! There's this VIP who's sick. We heard that whoever can find a doctor to cure him will earn enough rewards to boost my family up a level. We could easily become the second most powerful family in the city." Her voice quickened with excitement. Clearly, she did not want to miss this chance. "Someone with your martial arts skills must have serious connections. Could you find us a master healer? They already tried Dr. Fielding, who's ranked tenth in the country. But even he was stumped. I've told you everything, but I wonder if it's too much to ask." Most people, or even the big shots, would lose hope after Xander failed to treat a patient. Getting one master healer did not guarantee access to better ones. Even Xena could not get Brandon to help. "Sure. Come by my place tomorrow mo
"Why didn't you say so earlier? The act was killing me! Come on, let's drink. Whoever stays sober is a loser!" Vanessa said joyfully.Jack threw up his hands. "Man, I actually liked the sweet act. Felix just had to ruin it with one sentence." The next thing he knew, Vanessa pinched his ear. "Oh yeah? Love the cutesy voice, do you? Wait till we get home. I'll talk like that all night long. You'll get your fill, I promise!" Felix could not help but grin. Vanessa was quite the firecracker. Two hours later, Jack was carrying a passed-out Vanessa as he glared at Felix. "Damn it, man. Couldn't you have slowed her drinking down? So much for setting the mood tonight." Felix ignored him and made a gesture. Vivian appeared, handing over a tablet. Jack was already used to seeing all the beauties around Felix. "Thanks." Vivian turned away with a heavy heart. Who knew when she would see him again? "It's my first time meeting her, so I wasn't sure what to get her. Give her this when she
The Longman family? Felix chuckled. He had been planning to check out the Longman family today anyway. Vivian's investigation had linked them to the troublemakers who had staged that scene and filmed it. But Gerald's call about the Miracle Card call had pushed those plans back since he had to go to Canraville tomorrow. Dora's request really came at a perfect time. "That smile of yours gives me the creeps for some reason," Dora remarked.Felix did not reply to that. He just gazed out the window. This visit would definitely smoke out whoever was pulling the strings. It would be one less headache to deal with. …Franklin and a few others were standing at the Longman residence, waiting. "Mr. Zeller," Franklin greeted Felix with the utmost respect. The others were probably Longman family members. "Dora, where's the master healer?" someone asked while peering into the empty car. "This is Felix Zeller, the master healer I brought," Dora replied.It was a gamble. It seemed unlik
"I've paid back Dora's favor, so I'll now settle accounts with the Longman family," Felix suddenly said.The celebration died instantly at Felix's words. "Felix, what are you doing?" Dora was confused. Franklin stood there sweating as well. "Nothing much. I don't start fights, but I finish them. Joseph, someone from your family has been orchestrating schemes against me. They hired thugs to harass me while others filmed from the shadows. Do you want to handle this yourself, or should I start digging? It's up to you." In the past, anyone who dared talk to Joseph like this would have been crushed. But things were different now. After all, Felix had just casually treated an illness that had stumped Xander. His connections and power had to be terrifying. Even a hardened player like Joseph knew when to back down. "Mr. Zeller, give me some time to deal with this. If someone from my family has schemed against you, I'll send them over to you myself." Felix smiled slightly. Joseph had
Around six in the evening, Felix was sitting in his courtyard when Kane walked in. "What brings you here?" Felix asked.Kane's expression showed the same respect as always. Just like Vivian, Felix was the only Dragon Lord in his eyes and no one else. "Mr. Zeller, since you finally gave me a task, I had to report back personally." That was true. After Vivian left, Kane was Felix's go-to person for intel. But he had not expected Kane to show up in person. "I appreciate it. Have a seat." Once he sat down, Kane got straight to it. "You told me to look into that guy Jaden. Turns out he's quite the player. He's the youngest elder in Crimson Sage Sect's history. His mentor is one of their sect's Supreme Elders too, and he's actually the oldest and strongest amongst them." Crimson Sage Sect? Felix was unfazed. "So he's got an ancient mentor backing him. That'll be a bit of a hassle." By hassle, Felix meant time-wasting instead of fear. Even Kane could read that much. "How do you rat
Vanessa's expression lit up when she saw Felix. "You came at the right time, Felix! My car broke down. I just got off the phone with Jack when you showed up." Her car broke down? Felix then asked, "Are you heading back to Canraville?" "Yeah, it's my nephew's birthday tonight. What about you?" "I'm driving there too." In typical Vanessa fashion, she did not hesitate to ask for his help. "Perfect! Why don't you give me a ride? I'll tell Jack to send someone for the car. It'll save me a ton of time." "Sure." On the road, Vanessa kept studying Felix till he got uncomfortable. "Is there something on my face?" She shook her head and turned serious. "Do you know how precious that martial arts scripture you gave me is?" Felix smiled. "It doesn't matter. It's fine as long as you like it." Vanessa continued, "So you did spot that I'm a martial artist. That's impressive. It's wild that a regular guy like Jack has someone like you for a friend. "But honestly, thank you. That
Something felt off at this point. Before Felix could speak, all hell broke loose. Boom!All four doors of the Raptor exploded outward, with windows shattering everywhere. Baldo went flying through the windshield to somewhere about 50 feet away. Only then did he manage to land steadily. Even with blood trickling from his mouth, he wore a sinister grin. "Haha! It seems you're both a master healer and a martial artist, just like the miracle doctor." Felix stepped out, studying Baldo. That hit was not weak, yet Baldo only had minor injuries. He had to be a Martial Emperor, at least. "Did you use a Miracle Card just to try and kill Mr. Hoffman? I'm impressed by your audacity and your stupidity," Felix sneered.Baldo licked the blood from his lips as his grin widened. "Nope! Who'd dare target the miracle doctor? You're his disciple, so we knew you'd come instead. Get it?" Oh? Felix's eyes showed contempt. "But you're not in my league either." A breeze whispered through, and sud
"Nice talk. Let's see if you can walk away alive today!" Vilebane snarled.The one who could strike first would certainly gain the upper hand. Having sensed Vilebane's power, Felix was not about to wait around. He thrust both hands skyward as his energy surged. The clear sky instantly darkened with storm clouds.The sight of that astounded Baldo, who was hiding in a nearby building. "Damn! He must've started training in the womb. Just his opening move could kill me ten thousand times over!" Boom!Thunder rolled as five massive lightning bolts crashed down, each thick as pillars. It was a terrifying scene to behold. "Five Thunders Strike!" This was Felix's strongest move. Before this, no one had warranted using it until he met Vilebane. The thunderous impacts carved a massive crater in the ground. "Not bad, kid!" To Felix's horror, Vilebane's voice cut through the chaos. Felix instinctively leaped back. Vilebane appeared before him almost immediately with his fist stuck out.
