Nevertheless, Alistair understood Xena's emotional state. When one's family was involved, all rationalities seemed to go down the drain. Hence, he decided to wait for another opportunity to share his thoughts.…Felix went to Yardley Dining for his four-hour training session the next morning. He noticed Vivian wanting to say something and said, "Am I that scary? Just tell me what's on your mind." Vivian nodded and explained, "The Martial Alliance asked me to visit them. I'm not sure if it's related to Andrei's situation."After some thought, Felix responded, "Then, go. Don't let Dragon Alliance appear weak."When Felix returned home, he found both the gate and the front door wide open, as if someone had broken in. Rushing inside, he was puzzled to find Xena sitting in the living room, her face ashen as if something serious had happened."Xena, what brings you here?" Felix asked.Xena stood up and examined him with ice-cold eyes. "Keep acting! Everything ended safely, and now, y

Felix's face darkened with concern. He pressed, "Ryan, are you sure you want to take responsibility for what you said?"After a pause on the other end, Ryan replied, "Nothing happened, so what do you want me to say? This is ridiculous!" Then, the line went dead, prompting Xena to let out a cold laugh. "Can't even find someone to back you up. Felix, I finally understand everything now. You're a failure as a person, but at least you can brag about fooling the Warlady once," Xena said before walking away.Her understanding of "everything" meant she believed Felix's rescue of those dozen kids was just an act to impress her. None of this would have happened if she had not been so moved by that moment. Especially since Felix admitted that saving those children would not have cost him his life—he would only lose his fighting abilities. Then again, none of that mattered. Any fool would know it was worth trading combat skills for Xena's affection. After all, being known as the Warlad

Of course, there had always been people who cared about nothing, like Madam Spring, who poisoned Curtis with Phantom Poison. As a lone wolf with only revenge on her mind, she did not care about the consequences or who was involved.However, those with families or organizations had to be more careful. When the government stepped in, everyone involved would pay the price, and they could not just offer up a scapegoat to make it all go away. Still, these were just Felix's theories. Whether the Elders' Council had other reasons for keeping him and Xena apart remained a mystery for now."Mr. Zeller, I can see you're a reasonable man," Ryan said. "I really wanted to help you, but my hands were tied! I even told my grandfather about your true identity, but he still insisted I lie."Felix suddenly chuckled. "Let me guess—he said something like 'Dr. Hoffman is a legendary master healer who saves lives. He wouldn't wipe out an entire family, so the choice is obvious,' right?"Ryan's awkward

Without her trench coat, Michelle stood there in a black bodysuit with fishnet stockings and straps that created an alluring yet tastefully suggestive appearance."Michelle, what are you doing?" Felix asked helplessly, but Michelle walked toward him with a blush spreading across her face."Felix, I... I like you, and I don't know how else to express my gratitude. This is all I can offer."Michelle was undeniably attractive, and most men would have lost control by now. But Felix, having seen his fair share of beauty, found her merely average in comparison. Besides, even if she were stunning, he could never act on it—she was family to Karina, after all. "Don't do this, Michelle. I really only see you as a sister. Please put your clothes back on," Felix said as he reached for a robe, but Michelle suddenly lunged at him. Felix's brows furrowed. Even without his fighting abilities, his body was still far superior to an ordinary person's. He should have been able to dodge that predict

Felix looked surprised. "You know about Madam Spring?""Only by reputation. She's an old-school troublemaker you don't want to mess with. Good luck with that—I got what I came for, so I'm out," Averill replied, but as she stood up, she sensed something wrong and quickly turned to Felix. "Damn it! She was carrying poison!"Though Averill was not a medical expert, her heightened abilities allowed her to detect it. The fact that it took over a minute to notice meant this was no ordinary toxin.Sure enough, Felix was now grinning at her lustfully. "Averill, you like me, right? I'm feeling really hot and bothered right now." As Felix grabbed her and started kissing her wildly, Averill felt conflicted. "Stop it, Felix. You're poisoned! Try to fight it and see if you can neutralize it yourself."The woman's seductive entrance made the poison's purpose clear. When Felix looked up, Averill noticed his eyes were already bloodshot."What poison? Come on, Averill. Didn't you want to play la

"You'll do it instead?" Averill sized up Zara, silently musing to herself. While Zara was a little ugly, Averill figured all that mattered was if she could save Felix's life. If Zara hadn't shown up, Averill would have done it, even though she cherished her own first time. After all, Felix's life was the most important.However, she had to admit Felix's charm. Zara might not be much to look at, but she was still a woman. Since she volunteered herself, it meant she was at least somewhat willing. What other reason could there be?"Don't get the wrong idea. I-I'm not suggesting anything like that!" Zara stammered, waving her hands as Averill stared at her. She figured that she'd gotten the wrong impression."What do you mean?""I mean, I have a special acupuncture technique that can remove the poison in Felix's body. However, I'd need you to get that other woman out of here first. The poison's coming from her, and if I try to block it, I won't be able to concentrate on the treatment

Felix rolled his eyes but decided to speak honestly.He said, "It was a woman of unimaginable beauty. She was truly indescribable! A woman like that doesn't exist in the real world. She's something that would only appear in a dream."He found himself recalling those images again. They were just so vivid. And that woman—she was the only one he could call perfect."Well, I guess you must have enjoyed it very much." Averill scoffed. "Goodbye."Even long after Averill had left, Felix was still sitting on the bed, murmuring to himself, "Could a woman like that actually exist in real life?"…Meanwhile, atop a remote mountain in Dragonia, stood an opulent building. It was the headquarters of the Martial Alliance. Inside one of its rooms, four individuals were seated when Vivian entered."Mr. Lawrence, you called for me?" she asked, taking a seat unceremoniously. Her face showed no expression. After all, according to Felix, she couldn't let the prestige of Dragon Alliance be diminished

A woman stepped in gracefully, dressed in a wine-red dress with a high slit. She exuded elegance and beauty."How dare you trespass in the Martial Alliance?" "'Trespass'?" the woman replied with a hint of displeasure. "The guards didn't even detect my presence. How could it be trespassing?"Everyone in the room—except Titus—looked visibly shaken. This was the headquarters of the Martial Alliance, and yet someone had managed to slip in undetected. It was a huge embarrassment.Samuel pointed angrily at Vivian. "Vivian! Your Dragon Alliance is flaunting its strength here. Do you want a war with the Martial Alliance?""How dare you!" The woman raised an eyebrow, and with just a word, Samuel staggered backward a few steps, a muffled thud accompanying his retreat.Even Titus frowned at this sudden display. The newcomer's strength was no joke. Without even lifting a finger, her mere presence had overpowered Samuel."The Dragon Lord's title is not something you're qualified to invoke s

As soon as Chelsea's finger touched a card, it turned and displayed the number one. Hendrix immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Although there were no longer any tricks at this point, it all depended on their strengths and luck.If anyone met Chelsea in the first round, then it would definitely affect the morale of the rest of the battles. After Chelsea, several people jumped out simultaneously, including Lachlan and Felix. When Felix touched a card, it revealed the number three.Hendrix quickly frowned and looked over. There was another person he didn't want to fight—Felix.During the two days of rest, he talked a lot with Yvian. Of course, he had learned some things, like the cooperation with Lyle and Felix. This made him feel unsettled, but he didn't expect that they would meet.Once everyone had drawn their numbers, Chelsea and another player who had drawn the same number stayed on the island. The rest temporarily left the island."Begin!"The fight between the two start

Holly was right—Felix could no longer question it. He smiled bitterly as he realized he had no choice in the matter. He thought for a while before suggesting, "What about this, if you're really part of their family, come back to Earth with me after the competition. Can you do that?"Holly agreed willingly. "Of course, I'm looking for family. That isn't an issue."Once Holly left, she contacted someone. A look of astonishment flashed in her eyes as she read Felix's information."Oh? I didn't expect this guy to be so well-known! Has Star Alliance already contacted him and offered a position as the Elder of External Affairs?"Given this information, it was evident just how powerful Holly's connections were. After all, not many people in Star Alliance knew of it.Since they were offering him the position of Elder of External Affairs, it seemed that Felix had already formed the Way of Mind. Holly didn't expect someone from such a barbaric planet to be so powerful."How interesting

Felix's expression fell immediately, and he tried to push the woman away. "Are you crazy? Get out!"However, as he closed the door, the woman stopped it from shutting. "You're a contestant in this year's Rank-Ascending Competition, right? I can sense that there's someone in Star Alliance protecting you."But there are some things you can't avoid," she said. "Either you take this chance to talk to me, or I'll ask myself. It shouldn't be difficult to find out where you're from."Felix realized the seriousness of her words as he gazed at the woman. She could sense the higher-ups secretly protecting him, but at least she couldn't figure out who he was—in other words, this woman was extremely powerful.No matter her purpose, if she really went to Earth, who could stop her? Since the Rank-Ascending Competition hadn't ended yet, and with Earth still a mess, who could stop the invasion?"Fine, come in," Felix relented.The corners of her mouth curled into a smile. "Hahaha! This is the at

"The Lord?" Felix wondered. But Jerry continued, "The Lord—the deputy leader of the Star Alliance. He's one of the champions of the Rank-Ascending Competition and one of the current fighters of the Star Alliance—Tyrone Linetti, nicknamed The Tyrant."When you were on the ninth floor of the Tower of Babel, he couldn't sleep a wink."Felix was shocked by the revelation. It turned out that he had no privacy at all, even in the tower. Besides the Spirit of the Tower, Star Alliance could also observe him.Before he could respond, Jerry nodded sagely. "Yes, Lord Tyrant discovered that you've successfully condensed the Way of Mind! Otherwise, why would he tell me to recruit you personally?"Sure enough, Felix's Way of Mind was discovered."You're so young, and you'd definitely rank among the top three in Star Alliance's records," Jerry said. "Hell, you'd even be better than Lord Tyrant! That is why Star Alliance is willing to make an exception for you."They're offering you the positi

However, Felix was the only one who sat there unmoving. Julius quickly pulled him up."That's Jerry Gonzalez, one of the top three elders in the Star Alliance. You can't even fathom how powerful he is! How dare you keep sitting there?" Julius muttered.Felix hated having to worship the powerful, but there were times when he couldn't help it. He watched as Scopulus bent over in a bow, greeting Jerry respectfully. That told Felix everything he needed to know."Mr. Gonzalez, what are you doing here?" Scopulus asked warmly. However, Jerry smiled and completely ignored him. Instead, he walked straight to Felix."Felix! I'm Jerry Gonzalez from Star Alliance. Are you free to chat? Let's head into a more private area."Everyone in the bar watched with bated breath, and their mouths fell agape as they watched the scene unfold. One of the top three elders of Star Alliance came all the way here to find a contender. This has never happened before.Even if there was a contender from a pow

Xenon helplessly said, "Dude, it doesn't matter if you sign the agreement. They've met their goal as long as you meet Lachlan in the round! If you lose to Lachlan, it doesn't matter if you live or die—you won't be able to save the Earth."At that point, you can't go back to Earth, so where will you go? Even if you run, you won't be able to escape death." Xenon was right—the Orions wanted to kill Felix quickly in the past so he wouldn't hinder their plans to invade Earth. …As Felix followed the two, he experienced the entirety of the Star Alliance headquarters. There was advanced technology that Felix had never seen before, as well as delicious food. "Felix, don't you want to check that place out? There are women from all races in the universe. You can do them however you want. Besides, Star Alliance will pay for it all," Julius teased.As a man, Felix naturally wanted to experience it all. But as a man with a family, he didn't want to. After a full day, no other families

Just then, Yvian interrupted, "Dad, since Felix is this sincere, I think we should tell him some things in advance—to prove our sincerity."After a pause, Lyle nodded, and Yvian looked at Felix, saying, "What I said about Star Alliance was a very big maybe. Because of your current situation, they may not even come to help you. If they do, I can't predict what they will do."But one thing is for sure—if you need Star Alliance's help, you must join them. My family can't compare to them. I believe you understand that." Felix looked a bit unsure but smiled. He replied, "Thank you for telling me the truth. Let's take a look at the contract."Lyle's eyes glinted mysteriously. He knew that Yvian's words convinced Felix. Sure enough, with someone like that, Lyle could only treat him with sincerity—lies and deceit were meaningless to Felix.After reading the contract, Felix confirmed that it was exactly as Lyle had said. There was not even a word out of line."Alright, I'll sign it," F

"No idea. Oh, right. My dad told me to check in with him, too," Julius said.Julius lifted his wrist, and a white wristband flashed briefly. Then, he closed his eyes.It was a communication device developed by Star Alliance. It was way more advanced than anything on Earth—it could handle video, voice, and even silent messaging—meaning it allowed direct brain-to-brain communication without anyone around knowing you were chatting.Right now, Julius was silently talking to Trent. "Father, Lyle just approached Felix to recruit him. What do you think about that?"To his surprise, Trent chuckled on the other end. "His instincts are still as sharp as ever. Don't worry about it. Lyle has always trusted his intuition, and so far, he's never been wrong. "His move doesn't affect us. You already have the upper hand. Like I said before, just stay friends with Felix. As long as you maintain that bond, it's as good as recruiting him for our family."When Julius thought back to how Felix had sa

Julius and Xenon exchanged a look and chuckled."Do you know why they gave you two days of free time?" Julius asked.Felix shook his head and signaled for him to get to the point."Among the ten finalists, those without a strong family background are prime targets for recruitment. Hence, you might be one of them," Julius said.Felix thought it made sense—it wasn't all that different from how things worked back on Earth."Recruitment by families? Do they expect you to change your last name or something?" Felix asked.Julius laughed. "Of course not. Every strong martial artist has their pride. No one would agree to something like that. The ones they're interested in are people with limitless potential, like you. Since you come from a developing planet, you have no resources—you're a perfect target."He added, "For instance, if my family wanted to recruit you, we'd propose an alliance. You wouldn't have to give up anything—you would only need to agree to a contract saying you'd hel
