Chapter 447

Author: Dreamy Fire
Sean frowned. "His name is Felix. How do you know him?"

Dylan hurriedly took out his phone and showed a photo. "Is it this guy?"

Sean nodded immediately. "Exactly!"

Since his plan to retaliate against Felix at the bar failed, Dylan had done some digging on Felix. He found that Felix was indeed not an ordinary man.

Dylan smirked. "So, Felix is going to be at the engagement party?"

"Yes. He's on his way now," Sean replied, but something felt off. "Whatever you're planning, I would advise against it. Felix and George are extremely close. Otherwise, why would I call him a big deal?"

Dylan remained unfazed. "You don't understand. Felix used to be a miracle doctor, which is probably why he knows George. But for some reason, he's nothing now—just an ordinary man."

A miracle doctor? Sean hadn't known that and wouldn't dare investigate Felix's background, even if he had the courage.

"If he's really nothing now, then why did I just get word that George and Felix are coming to the party t

    George's expression turned odd. He wondered how Dylan ended up going against Felix. Was he so bored with life that he was seeking death?"Dylan, you're way too full of yourself. Shut your mouth and don't ruin someone's engagement party. Seriously, you have no manners!" George said.Huh? Dylan hadn't expected George to stand up for Felix. His face darkened as he struggled to come up with a response.Felix didn't escalate the situation further. What was most important now was Madeline's engagement. Any incident would spoil the event, and this wasn't just some casual gathering.Sitting at the same table, Sean was full of disdain for Dylan. He talked big, but the moment George spoke up, he became quiet like a child.After a moment of silence, Dylan opened his mouth again. "I'll say this one last time! Felix, if you apologize to me now, for George's sake, I'll let this go. Otherwise…"Felix shot a sharp glance and cut him off, "No otherwise. I won't apologize, especially since I did n

    Aside from George, Jack, and Vanessa, everyone else was stunned, gasping at Felix's audacity. Did he realize who he was talking to?Especially Dylan, who was elated internally. If Felix had only provoked him, he might get a broken arm or leg. But angering Fabian meant a completely different level of consequence.Terrance reacted quickly, rushing over. "Felix! What are you saying? Quickly apologize to Mr. Fabian."He tried to calm the situation by scolding Felix while smiling apologetically at Fabian. "Fabian, young people can be rude. Please don't mind them."Internally, he was anxious. Although he knew Felix and George were close, this was too reckless. Didn't Felix see that even George was staying silent?Terrance had thought Luke marrying Madeline would solidify their connection with George. Now, it seemed like a massive problem was brewing instead.Although this old classmate of his was no longer useful in providing benefits, they couldn't afford to turn him into an enemy.W

    But wasn't it a bit too unbelievable? Fabian, the president of Lionsfield Chamber of Commerce, was a significant figure in Yartford. Otherwise, how could Dylan have spoken to George that way? Yet here he was, treating Felix with the utmost respect and even promising Dylan would no longer speak for life. Terrance wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't witnessed it himself."F-Felix, our family bears some responsibility for what happened," Terrance said again.His tone was respectful to the extreme. If anyone dared to mistreat his future daughter-in-law, Madeline, he would deal with them himself."It's me who should be apologizing for disrupting the engagement," Felix replied.Sean, who had been anxiously watching, quickly interjected, "Felix, what are you talking about? There was no disturbance at all.""Exactly! No disturbance! Everything is proceeding as normal."As the engagement ceremony resumed, George remained silent, deep in thought. Why would Fabian fear Felix? Logic

    Only one man entered the room. He seemed to be in his 40s and was impeccably dressed. He even wore a subtle smile that did nothing to diminish his overwhelming presence. The entire banquet hall fell silent at his arrival. Felix frowned. "What's going on?" George's eyes widened in recognition as he said, "Well, well... I can't believe Lilian had the nerve! Five years after the Starlight incident, someone cleverly tried to pull one over on Lady Nala. The bastard actually succeeded and fled overseas. "Now that Alfie's shown up, they must have caught him. Looks like it's time for everyone involved to face the music." As he spoke, Lilian cowered behind Terrance with a trembling voice. "It wasn't me, Mr. McDonald. You've got the wrong person, I swear!"Alfie stood motionless. His smile was unwavering as he slowly raised his right hand. "Will you come with me, or should I make you? The outcomes of your decision would be quite different." Terrance swallowed hard before stepping forw

    No matter how capable Felix was, he could not possibly defeat Nala. Madeline could not let her family drama ruin her first love and life savior. But Alfie's smile faded as he studied Felix. "You're Mr. Felix Zeller, right? Since you've spoken up, there may be room for negotiation. Lady Nala owes you a favor from the orphanage incident. But are you sure you want to waste it on someone like Lilian? After all, a favor from Lady Nala is invaluable." The revelation that Nala owed Felix a favor stunned everyone. Lilian saw a glimmer of hope and collapsed at Felix's feet, sobbing, "Felix, please save me! I don't want to die!" When he remained silent, she turned to Madeline. "Please, Maddy. Help me convince him. I was deceived! I never would've dared cross Lady Nala!" Madeline did not hesitate at all. How could she possibly let Felix waste such a precious favor? But he spoke first before she could, "Let Lilian go." Alfie nodded. "Very well. Consider Lady Nala's debt settled, then

    Ernest's eyes narrowed as he studied Felix, which made Felix feel embarrassed. "You want to attend Xena's appointment ceremony?" Seeing Felix nod, Ernest suddenly laughed before saying, "No." Felix was baffled. Given their relationship, this should have been a simple request. "I can't betray Sherlyn like that. She'd never forgive me for helping her rival." Ernest chuckled, showing his playful side while Jairo watched in amusement."Mr. Holt Senior, you've got it wrong. I'm just curious about the ceremony." "Really? I've been around long enough to know better. Are you saying there's nothing between you and Xena?"Felix fell silent. He did not want to lie to the old man. "Goodbye, then." Watching as Ernest walked away, Felix felt helpless. Left with no choice, Felix called Hector after getting home. He needed to attend the ceremony. He had to signal Xena about Madam Spring's situation and save his own life. Their relationship had been tough from the start, with simple

    "Mr. Holt Senior, how did you know he would attend? His connections must be limited now," Jairo said."True. Felix lost his martial powers, and his medical skills have dwindled. But I think he isn't as simple as he appeared to be. Look. He managed to get in." Jairo was impressed. This was not some ordinary party. It was an official ceremony that only people connected to the authorities could attend, yet Felix had secured entry effortlessly.…Xena's appointment ceremony was being held at the Wolfie troops' base. The guards stopped Felix's car when he arrived. "Hello, I'm here for the ceremony." "ID please." The guard took it but radioed instead of checking the list. "Lady Leia, Mr. Zeller has arrived. Please verify." After that, he turned to Felix. "Please step out and wait for Lady Leia's verification." "Alright!" Someone was sent over to drive Felix's car away, so he stood at the side waiting. Right then, a Bentley arrived. The guard went over to verify their identitie

    Dissatisfied, Aimee turned to look at whoever was speaking. When she saw the elegant woman addressing Felix, she became even more upset. She started to speak but stopped when she saw the soldiers saluting Leia. This was Wolfie troops' territory, after all. Still, she memorized Leia's face. If she could not handle this, Xena certainly could. This was Xena's big day being crowned as Warlady, so no outsiders were allowed. Even Aimee was here only because she was a relative. How did Felix get in? Someone must have broken protocol. "You must be Leia, right?" Leia studied Felix. His reputation preceded him. This young man who had earned even Hector's respect had truly hidden his power well. "Yes. Please follow me." Inside, Leia said, "Lord Hector is with important guests. He suggested you wait in the waiting room." Felix raised his hand. "It's okay. Let Mr. Downy handle his business. I'm just here for the ceremony. We can always catch up another time." Felix knew better than t

    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

    Felix wasn't the least bit surprised by the Flame Monarch's reaction, but he still feigned confusion. "Flame Monarch, I'm sorry... but I don't understand. What do you mean by soul-related injuries?"Just from that single line, Felix confirmed what he suspected—Aquamarinus had no concept of soul-based matters. Whether it was training methods or anything else, this realm hadn't yet touched that domain.The Flame Monarch stared at him, pressure radiating from his body. Felix immediately felt his limbs start to tremble under the invisible weight."You don't know? Then how could you claim to treat that man's condition?" Felix calmly pointed toward the herbs laid out on the table. "The force inside him is definitely strange. It triggered a memory... I once sensed something very similar, and it came from within that herb. It was purely instinct—when something feels familiar, there's a chance it might work."The Flame Monarch shifted his gaze to the herb, then said flatly, "Start from th

    Felix gave him a direct and honest answer. "As long as I have enough herbs. I can treat him. I won't promise a full recovery, but one thing I can guarantee you is that this man won't die."For now, that was the best possible answer anyone could offer.The Flame Monarch replied, "Good. Begin. As long as you can keep him alive, you'll be handsomely rewarded."It seemed the Flame Monarch already knew something and never truly expected anyone to completely cure Christopher. Preserving his life alone would already be a feat."Flame Monarch, please reconsider!" one of the elderly doctors suddenly cut in, seething with resentment. "This boy is barely grown—how could he possibly possess such remarkable skill in medicine?"The Flame Monarch turned and gave him a cold, mocking glance. "If he can't do it, then can you?"The old man went silent. Perhaps fearing the loss of favor or acting out of sheer pride, he hesitated. Eventually, he found the courage to speak again."I admit I can't, bu

    The Green King's expression changed instantly, and he turned to Felix in a hurry. "Dr. Zeller, please come with me to greet him.""Of course," Felix replied.For anyone in Aquamarinus, getting the chance to see the Flame Monarch up close was like a once-in-a-lifetime dream, and people would probably die happy just for that. Naturally, Felix put on a show of reverence as well, even if he didn't feel it deep down.As they reached the front gate, Felix saw several figures striding toward them with heavy steps. At the front of the group was a towering man, nearly nine feet tall. Even someone as built as Dave looked like a delicate bystander next to him.What stood out the most was his bright crimson hair, which flared upward like flames, making it look like his head was on fire. His facial features were fairly average, but the power behind his gaze radiated pure, undeniable authority.So, this was the Flame Monarch?Felix studied him closely. He suspected the man had cultivated some

    According to the rules set by the Flame Monarch, the position of Minor Kings rotated every five years. Those who made outstanding contributions could keep their titles, but anyone who fell short would have to fight for their place all over again.The Green King knew he wasn't particularly strong—he was painfully aware of that. And with the next year marking the fifth year, the pressure was mounting fast. So when Christopher appeared, it felt like fate. If he could heal this man before the Flame Monarch arrived with his elite doctors, the credit would be immense, and his reappointment would be virtually guaranteed. Anyone who had never held a Minor King title wouldn't understand just how many perks came with it. If they did, no one would give it up willingly."I can treat him," Felix said calmly. "But I can't promise a full recovery."The Green King smiled. "Do your best. Even if you can only keep him alive, that alone is worth it."Two doctors before had said that Christopher's b
