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

Vanessa's eyes narrowed as she shot Robert an icy glare. "Robert, didn't I specifically warn you about looking down on Jack and his friend? What's your problem?"Given their years of friendship, Robert was not particularly bothered by Vanessa's confrontation. However, Felix's actions had thoroughly infuriated him.Robert replied, "I'm just giving them a reality check. Nessa, you know how I am. But Felix, calling me out like this in front of everyone, is crossing a line. Do you think getting some fancy delivery service makes you better than me? The waters in Canraville run deeper than you can imagine!" Instead of apologizing, Robert became even more hostile. Vanessa was furious, but before she could speak, Felix held up his hand to stop her."That's not the point here; the main issue is that a real man keeps his word about making an apology," Felix stated calmly.He was already acting considerate for Vanessa's sake, but if Robert insisted on being disrespectful, he had other ways

"Felix! Are you out of your mind? You're seriously not planning to go?" Vanessa's voice was filled with disbelief."Nope," he replied simply. His brief response sent chills down everyone's spine, as only someone completely clueless would say something like that."You have to go. Those VIP seats at Dreamscape's concert are incredibly rare," Vanessa insisted with absolute seriousness. "I can personally guarantee that if you don't show up, every Dreamscape fan in Dragonia will make your life a living hell."Felix looked up at Vanessa, and upon seeing her dead serious expression, he could only nod in resignation. "Fine, I'll go."At that moment, Robert approached them with an awkward smile plastered on his face. "Um, Mr. Zeller, I was wrong earlier. I'm really sorry. I hope you'll forgive me, for Nessa's sake at least."The contents of that box completely humbled Robert. He knew the consequences would be severe if he did not apologize now.When Felix remained silent, Robert quickly a

The reason Edmond dared to question Felix at all was that he was holding onto that one sliver of arrogance—he assumed Felix had only cured Christopher by pure luck, just because it happened to fall under his area of expertise.Otherwise, would he have even dared speak up? Not a chance.Once the silk threads were tied and tension filled the air, Felix spoke calmly after only a short pause. "Her Grace has a mild seasonal chill. It's nothing serious. I'll prescribe her some herbal blends—she'll recover within five days. Or, if she prefers a quicker route, acupuncture will do the trick."The Green King blinked, clearly stunned by the response. "You mean you can heal her without medication?""That's right. No medicine necessary." At the same time, a soft, melodic voice floated from behind the curtain. Sydney Haye said, "My love, that sounds perfect. You know I hate taking medicine. Please, Dr. Zeller, come in and begin the treatment."...15 minutes later, Felix stepped back out in

Joaquin was on the edge of madness. He wanted nothing more than to kill Felix right there, but he didn't dare risk the entire Goldstein family just to satisfy that rage. Disobeying a royal summons meant immediate execution—there was no bluffing around it.After taking a deep breath, Joaquin forced himself to put on a smile. "Dr. Zeller, then tell me—what exactly do you need in order to head to the Green King Manor?"Felix had seen this kind of groveling far too many times before. "Gras is right outside your estate. Go talk to him. The sooner you two reach an agreement, the sooner I'll leave for the manor.""What? Gras is here?" Only now did Joaquin realize just how thoroughly he had been played. Everything had been a setup from the beginning, and he had walked straight into the trap.Time ticked by, and eventually, Gras strolled into the courtyard. He said, "Dr. Zeller, the talk went well. How's the view treating you so far?" From the smile on Gras's face, it was clear he hadn't

Not far away, Wagner silently prayed with all his might. "Come on, Felix, don't back down now. Keep acting like a hothead—because only then will you die."As for any retaliation from the Longstone family, he wasn't the least bit concerned. Things had already gone too far, and Joaquin clearly wasn't about to back down. He would definitely find a reason to escalate the fight, and if that weren't the case, Wagner wouldn't have dared tag along tonight.Maybe his prayer actually worked, because Felix shook his head. "Sorry, I came here just to cooperate with your investigation. Anything beyond that… I won't do."Just as Wagner thought Felix had sealed his fate, someone suddenly rushed in, holding something in his hand. "Mr. Goldstein! We've got trouble—Green King Manor just sent a royal summons!""What?" Joaquin's expression twisted as he snatched the letter. A summons from one of the nine Minor Kings was no small matter—when it was issued, compliance was mandatory. Ignoring it meant

In the past, no one dared provoke a family war so openly as it would've been a blatant slap in the Green King's face. But this time, the Goldsteins had the upper hand. After all, Justus was dead, and the Longstone family was a prime suspect. Hence, even if blood were shed, it could still be justified.Joaquin knew this well. He also understood that Gras would never give up Felix for the sake of the Longstones' reputation, so even forcing the standoff served his purpose.Just as the tension reached its peak and a battle was about to break out, Felix stepped forward on his own. "You're the head of the Goldsteins, right? I'll go with you."Joaquin narrowed his eyes. He hadn't expected Felix to boldly step forward."Dr. Zeller, please step back," Gras said.Felix glanced at Gras and said, "Thank you for everything, sir. But the truth will speak for itself. Once the investigation is done, I'm sure they'll let me return."Gras stayed silent, but Joaquin chuckled coldly. "Return? Do you

Ginny was naturally present as well, and she spoke up at that moment. "Mr. Goldstein, no one wanted to see Justus die like that. But why did you bring your people to Longstone residence? Are you suggesting that his sudden death has something to do with us?"Joaquin's expression grew darker as he looked at her. He blamed Ginny for this, thinking that none of this would have happened if she had just agreed earlier. And now, they couldn't even determine the cause of death."No connection? That doctor from your household, Felix Zeller—he's the one responsible for Justus' death."Right then, someone spoke up from the crowd. "That's him! That's Felix Zeller!"Felix, who had been calmly sitting in a chair, finally saw Wagner standing among them. And in that moment, everything made sense."Wagner? You've gotten quite bold, huh?" Gras sneered.Wagner flinched at Gras's words, but remembering that he now had the Goldsteins backing him, he stiffened his spine and stood tall. "Cut the crap

In Cloud City, there were a few noble families. Nonetheless, behind the polite smiles, tensions surged. Infiltrating each other's estates with spies had practically become a tradition. While they rarely uncovered major secrets, the information they did gather always gave them a head start.So when the news broke, Gras didn't doubt it for a second. He jumped to his feet, furious. "This is outrageous! Their son dies, and somehow it's the Longstone family's fault?"Ryker looked just as puzzled, agreeing that the accusation made no sense.But Felix let out a quiet, weary sigh. "Mr. Longstone, I'm afraid this is probably my fault. I'm a doctor, and I've gotten a bit of attention lately. After they failed to determine the cause of Justus' death, and given our meeting earlier today, they likely saw an opportunity to drag your family into the mess." Gras's expression darkened, knowing that Felix wasn't wrong. After all, doctors could also be poisoners, and plenty of martial artists had fa

It was clear someone had said something to Justus. Otherwise, this situation wouldn't have escalated to this point.Felix said calmly, "It was a standard therapeutic massage technique, and I was blindfolded the entire time. Does that explanation satisfy you? Or would you rather find someone else capable of treating Ms. Longstone—I'll gladly step aside if you can."Justus sneered, his eyes filled with disdain. "Cut the crap, Felix. Don't act like I don't know exactly what's going through your head. Ginny's the heiress of the Longstone residence—Gras's precious jewel. Everyone knows that marrying her is like securing the entire household. Don't tell me that thought never crossed your mind.""It didn't," Felix said simply.Unfortunately, that answer was never going to satisfy Justus. He snarled, "Listen up, boy! I'm giving you three days to get the hell out of the Longstone residence. If you don't, you won't even get the chance to regret it. Everyone else might be afraid of Gras—but I

As Wagner watched Justus explode in rage, he felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction. With what he'd just uncovered, there was no need to exaggerate—it was already explosive enough on its own.After all, Justus' future fiancée was touched in that kind of intimate way by a young, healthy doctor. Any man with a spine would lose it."But Justus," Wagner added with a smirk. "Didn't Felix just get publicly praised by the Green King?"Cloud City wasn't that big. Anyone with any influence had been keeping close tabs on Green King Manor—especially with the mystery man who walked out of Desolated Lands involved. So, the news of Felix being rewarded had already spread far and wide.Justus clenched his jaw. "So what? It's just a flash in the pan. If he was truly skilled, the Green King would've kept him. But as long as he hasn't climbed into the Green King's inner circle, I can crush him whenever I want."Wagner's grin widened. That was exactly the attitude he needed. If Justus had shown

The moment the Flame Monarch mentioned the Healer Sage, the Green King's expression shifted noticeably. "So the Sage really was living out there in seclusion... No wonder. Flame Monarch, does this mean you've taken a liking to Felix?"But the Flame Monarch waved his hand dismissively. "There's no need for that."That response made the Green King secretly rejoice. If the Flame Monarch didn't intend to recruit Felix, then he understood why—and that was perfect. It meant the opportunity to take Felix under his own wing was wide open.The night passed quietly. Felix stood beside Christopher's bedside, noticing the man's breathing had grown steady and stable.At this point, the herb had run its course and was no longer effective. But what was left inside Christopher's soul—a strange, lingering force—was exactly what Felix had hoped for.Christopher was alive but completely unconscious. The remaining energy had no regenerative properties, which meant he'd likely never wake again. For Fe
