"Your cooking is amazing, Mr. Summers Senior," Felix praised genuinely.

Curtis laughed heartily. "Of course it is! That's how I won over my wife back in the day!"

While the two men chatted happily, Xena was left to her own thoughts. She had initially felt a strange, inexplicable attraction to Felix, but his attitude during their initial encounter ruined that.

After learning about his medical skills, she even made an effort to talk to him. Yet, his attitude remained unchanged, causing her feelings to shift once again. Just then, Xena's phone rang, and she quickly stepped into another room to answer.

"Lord Hector," she answered respectfully. She knew that even after her promotion to Warlady, she would maintain the same level of deference to her mentor and benefactor.

"There's a concert in Canraville in three days. I want you to personally handle the security," Hector instructed.

Xena almost could not believe what she heard. It was ridiculous to hear that a mere artist's concert

    Telepathy? Felix smirked and kept driving, ignoring the voice. It was amusing that simply having lunch with the Summers family had attracted this kind of attention. As he pondered the matter, he realized that Phantom Poison, which had affected Curtis, was incredibly rare and valuable. After encountering Vilebane, the creator of that poison, Felix knew that ordinary people could not possibly access someone of that power level.In other words, the Summers family had a hidden enemy who was finally showing their hand. After some hesitation, he called Xena, who actually answered. "What do you want?" Her cold tone immediately irritated him.If Curtis had not been such an honorable man who respected their engagement and gave them a month to get to know each other and see if they could make this arrangement work, Felix would not have bothered getting involved."Come to my house. There's someone you need to take into custody," he stated."Are you ordering me around?" Xena snapped."Wha

    The woman huffed. "Ha! I was careless this time, but Xena, you won't get anything from me, and your grandfather—he'll die in absolute agony!"Blood spurted from her mouth as she laughed, and within seconds, she was dead.Felix shook his head in disappointment. "For someone about to become a Warlady, you're quite slow. I gave you such clear hints, yet you didn't restrain her—and now she's dead. Don't blame this on me!"Xena was furious, holding back the urge to slap him. "I just got here and knew nothing about the situation! How was I supposed to react that quickly? Since you could subdue her, why didn't you restrain her yourself?" Felix changed his approach, realizing arguing with her was pointless. "She only mentioned working for someone called Madam Spring. That's all I know. You can go now."The name clearly meant something to Xena. She gasped and immediately grabbed the woman's body before rushing out. The next morning, after breakfast, Felix drove with Jack in the passenge

    Jack did not know who this "miss" was that Yvonne referred to with such respect, but he focused entirely on the concert mention. "Please thank her for her kindness, but I'll have to decline," Felix responded, puzzled by the invitation.He had not really shown his medical skills during the competition with Guneria, so it was strange that Nala was suddenly so interested in him. Not only had she not been angry when he declined her dinner invitation, but now she was offering concert tickets."I understand. I'll relay your response," Yvonne said before hanging up. Before Jack could speak, another call came in—this time from Sherlyn, whom Felix had not heard from in a while. "Hello, Ms. Holt," Felix answered."Hey! Can't you just call me Sherlyn?" she protested.Felix felt awkward with Jack sitting right there. "Go ahead, Sherlyn. I'm listening." "That's better! You must know about Dreamscape's concert in Canraville, right? Would you like to go with me? You won't say no, will y

    "Fine, two tickets it is. I'm easy to please," Jack conceded.After reaching Canraville, Jack was furious to learn that Stellar Group's executives had made a surprise visit to the Avesburgh office. He had to rush back by train, as entertaining the executives that evening was non-negotiable.…At New Glory's luxury real estate office, only a few sales agents were with clients, as such high-end properties naturally drew limited customers. Just as the last clients left, a sharp slap echoed through the office, drawing everyone's attention. "Ms. Martinez, w-why did you hit me?" Michelle Smith asked in disbelief, holding her cheek."Why? You worthless bitch! I lost a villa sale because you offended my clients. Tell me—don't you deserve that slap?" Julia Martinez snapped.Michelle fought back tears as she defended herself, "They tried to get handsy, and I didn't even say anything—I just walked away! How is it my fault if they won't buy?" Julia pointed at Michelle angrily, her eyes

    Julia felt justified in her attitude, both from her assumptions and because financial checks were indeed required to purchase at New Glory—it was company policy. Looking at Felix's attire, with no designer labels and not even a luxury watch that any successful person would wear, Julia was convinced he was just a nobody trying to show off. Felix remained calm. "A financial check? Where do we do that?""We can verify it right here," Julia said with a smirk, thinking Felix was just another shameless person. Someone quickly brought over a card reader while the other agents shared Julia's skepticism about Felix's buying power. Only Michelle inexplicably believed in him, though her position made her hesitant to speak up."Sir, please present your bank card and enter your PIN here. The machine won't charge you—it just needs to verify you have at least ten million dollars in available funds. The light will turn green if successful," Aaron Turner explained.Felix nodded and handed

    Suddenly, Felix slapped Julia twice and yelled at her, "Listen here! Michelle is my cousin, and you're getting off easy with just two slaps. Now get out of her!"No one thought Felix's actions were rude. Instead, everyone seemed to find them justified. Even Julia had to back away with an apologetic smile—such was the difference in their social standing.After reaching the VIP reception room, the manager quietly excused himself while Michelle remained extremely nervous."I'm sorry about earlier. I just can't stand seeing injustice, and I was only planning to buy a villa when I saw you being bullied. That's why I stepped in, and I hope you don't mind that I called you my cousin," Felix explained.Michelle finally relaxed at his explanation, as his words put her previous concerns at ease."Thank you, Mr. Zeller. There aren't many people like you these days," she said gratefully."Please, call me Felix. Let's go check out the villas. If I find one I like, I'll buy it immediately. I p

    The others looked at Felix with similar contempt, clearly disapproving of Jack and Vanessa's relationship. The Dreamscape concert was the hot topic of the moment, making it the perfect tool for their mockery. Moreover, these were Section A tickets—something even many wealthy people could not get their hands on, let alone what they considered a country bumpkin from Avesburgh like Jack.A strange glint flashed in Felix's eyes, but before he could speak, the woman who had greeted him intervened. She scolded, "Robert! Nessa's already talked about this, and you know her temper! Can't you tone it down?" The woman then tugged at Felix's sleeve and added, "Don't mind him—he just likes to joke around. Please, have a seat."Robert Sharkey tucked the tickets away, and his expression softened slightly. "I'm just trying to be nice here, not insult you. Our circle isn't something ordinary people can just join, and Nessa has other admirers. You'll be in trouble once your name gets out there."

    "So the delivery fee alone starts at a million dollars?" Felix thought to himself, amazed at the extravagant cost. It seemed incredibly expensive, but then he realized there were plenty of ultra-wealthy people who valued this level of service. For them, it was not about the cost—it was about the prestige."Which one of us would even qualify to receive something from Royal Elite?" Robert asked after recovering from his shock. No one answered, which made the situation even more intriguing.Anyone who used Royal Elite Courier Service had to be extremely wealthy and prestigious, and the recipients were usually just as notable. Moreover, Royal Elite was known for its in-person signatures and perfect delivery record—even a single mistake would be scandalous and damage its reputation. Just then, another person in a purple suit, though notably darker than the others, entered carrying an exquisite square box with both hands. Everyone watched as he approached Felix and stopped. "Mr. Zel

    Many people breathed a sigh of relief at this response. For some reason, no one wanted to see this young man rise to power. Finnley, who had returned to his seat, turned ashen with anger, but he knew there was nothing he could do about it. If he had not gone to beg for mercy earlier, Felix could have used that favor to destroy the Walsh family today.Nala's expression softened upon seeing this. She believed the man she had abandoned should quietly live an ordinary life rather than rise so powerfully that even she felt threatened. "You've told the truth, and I'll keep my promise. Yvonne can now make her own choices in pursuing happiness, and I won't interfere anymore," she stated.It was exactly the answer Felix was waiting for. With so many witnesses present, Nala would not dare risk her reputation by breaking her word. "Take care of yourself, Yvonne," Felix said, glancing at her before leaving, with Vivian and Christie following suit as their business was concluded.Outside t

    Felix turned to face Nala, who met his gaze with fierce determination. Just when everyone thought the conflict was over, Nala's intervention brought a deafening silence to the room. Everyone knew Nala's significance—not just for her mysteriously powerful family background, but for her own commanding presence. Her willingness to challenge both Moonshadow and Dragon Alliances spoke volumes about her authority.Felix retorted, "I've been more than reasonable today. Yvonne is safe, and your deal with the Walsh family stands. Don't push your luck, Lady Nala!"The crowd gasped. In all of Dragonia, Felix was the first to dare speak to Nala so brazenly in public. Even Nala, known for her composure, could not hide the icy anger in her glare. Felix continued, "Yvonne remains yours. I only want to ensure you'll never treat her as a mere tool again. Is that so difficult? Answer me!" Nala was about to respond, but Felix stepped closer. Even though he had lost his martial abilities, his

    As they looked at Felix again, everyone felt his presence seem more towering and commanding, inspiring an almost reverential awe. His ability to summon the support of two major powers was unprecedented. George and Ryan remained dumbfounded, their previous misconceptions about Felix shattered by this stunning revelation. Meanwhile, Dominic swallowed his pride with remarkable speed. There was no doubt that his adaptability was what led the Walsh family to such heights.He said smoothly, "Ah, Mr. Zeller, surely there's been a misunderstanding. If I had known about your connection to Ms. Cooper, I would never have agreed to this marriage!" He laughed nervously, aware that the room understood his abrupt change in tone. Nonetheless, with Dragon Alliance and Moonshadow Alliance backing Felix—not just in name but with their most influential figures present—Dominic knew he could not win. Even if the Walsh family exhausted every connection, their do

    The moment Vivian spoke, all eyes turned to her, each gaze filled with shock and disbelief. The thought that she might be supporting Felix seemed unbelievable at first, but as she moved to stand beside him, reality sank in. "Milady, w-what does this mean?" Dominic stammered, confused. He was under the impression that Vivian was here as their honored wedding guest."Today, Dragon Alliance will fully support Felix," Vivian declared firmly.A collective gasp swept through the crowd. If there had been any doubt about Vivian's stance before, it was now crystal clear—she had not come for the Walsh family's wedding at all, but to back Felix.At this moment, everyone wondered who Felix was and what he had done to command such an unwavering alliance from the Dragon Lord herself. After all, it was clear from her statement that there would be no compromise."Yvonne, come here," Felix called out.Yvonne stood frozen, hands covering her mouth in disbelief. Even though she knew of Felix's c

    The moment Finnley spotted Felix, he stood up and reprimanded him loudly. As the younger generation, any disrespect from Finney might be forgiven, but Dominic had to maintain composure, especially now.A gentle breeze swept through, and the security guards stumbled backward several steps. Only then did everyone notice the elderly man standing two steps behind Felix—Seven, the head of Flair, founded by Averill.Without even lifting a finger, Seven had repelled the guards, showcasing an immense power that left the crowd in stunned silence. George and Ryan tensed up as they watched Felix's bold entrance. With influential figures like Christie and Vivian present, not to mention the other distinguished guests, they worried about how this situation would resolve.Yvonne's heart was in turmoil. She had not expected Felix to come, let alone with such determination to take her away. Though she longed to run into Felix's arms and live on her own terms, she knew it was not that simple. Nal

    As time passed, the guests took their seats, awaiting the start of the ceremony. The Walsh family had opted for two wedding ceremonies. This was a grand one, meant for a bigger crowd, including friends and business associates. An intimate ceremony was planned for three days later, inviting only their close family members. It was a testament to the family's penchant for elaborate customs.At the front tables, Christie sat on the left and Vivian on the right, commanding everyone's attention. Sharing the table with them was none other than Nala, a clear indicator of her elevated status within this gathering. "What should we do? We still can't find Mr. Zeller, but surely he's heard the news by now. He can't act rashly!" Ryan mumbled anxiously, still feeling guilty about lying during the Eastern Mountain incident."Mr. Gibson, what's the point of worrying? Can we really influence his decisions?" George glanced at Vivian's table with a bitter smile, knowing she could be the wild card i

    The woman appeared to be in her 40s, yet possessed an ageless elegance. Her gentle smile had an almost magical quality that could lift anyone's spirits, making even the gloomiest thoughts vanish instantly.Her presence alone radiated an almost magnetic charm, the kind that was impossible to ignore."Welcome, milady. The Walsh family is deeply honored by your presence," Dominic said as he approached, his voice trembling slightly. He could barely imagine how this day would elevate their family's social standing.The woman smiled gently and said, "I'm Christie Manning, the third-generation Master of Moonshadow Alliance. Forgive me for intruding."Her voice was mesmerizing, rich, and melodious, weaving its way into the minds of everyone present. Many men in the crowd were visibly entranced, their expressions dazed. It was as if her words had struck a chord deep within their souls. Standing nearby, Nala felt a pang of disappointment flicker across her features. She was hoping it mig

    After delivering this news, Dominic hurried away, leaving Nala standing there in disbelief. She mumbled, "Did he say… the Grandmaster of Moonshadow Alliance?"Beside her, Alfie's eyes widened with shock. "If I heard correctly, yes, miss. That's exactly what he said." Alfie understood Nala's astonishment. Moonshadow Alliance's Grandmaster was even more mysterious than Dragon Alliance's founder. While some had at least glimpsed Eloise's silhouette, no one knew anything about Dahlia.Moreover, Moonshadow Alliance had maintained its supreme position for years. Their power was evident at the recent Avesburgh auction of the Miracle Card, where a single bid from them had silenced all other potential buyers. And now, their elusive leader was attending Michael's wedding."Let's go!" Nala rushed toward the entrance, determined to uncover what made this wedding so unique that it could attract two of the most powerful figures players in their world.Ryan and George had also received the news

    After Yale's disappearance, Nala had abandoned her original plans. With the recent appearance of the founder's attendant, Dragon Alliance had regained its former glory, and no one dared to challenge their authority.At the entrance of the Walsh residence, Dominic arrived just as a sleek black executive sedan pulled up. Nala recognized the two figures who stepped out first—both the vice leaders of Dragon Alliance, whom she had met before.The fact that the vice leaders were opening the car door could only mean one thing—the Dragon Lord was here. Understanding the gravity of the situation, Dominic had already instructed security to clear away unnecessary guests."Welcome to Michael's wedding. Dragon Lord, Your presence brings great honor to the Walsh family," Dominic said earnestly. This unexpected visit would undoubtedly elevate the Walsh family's status even higher than their planned alliance with Nala.Vivian nodded in acknowledgment before heading inside, with Dominic carefully
