As Felix turned around, he saw several security guards dragging someone toward him. The noise earlier was the person being dragged shouting."It doesn't matter who you know! Shut him up. How dare he cause a scene here? He must be out of his mind!" one of the security guards said.Felix furrowed his brows as he recognized the person being dragged. It was Sasha's cousin, Milo. That guy had been quite sarcastic toward him at Warren's birthday party. He didn't understand why Milo was calling out his name now.As Felix was about to ignore the situation and leave, Milo saw him and shouted as if he were a savior, "Felix! He's Felix! He really knows your boss!"The security guards turned their attention to Felix, and one of them promptly inquired, "Sir, do you know our boss?"Felix shook his head. "I have nothing to do with this."Although he didn't know the reason Milo was being treated that way by security, he felt the latter deserved it. After all, he was just as much a troublemaker a
Felix was well aware that Warren would never lie in his life, so it must have been Sasha who suggested it. However, it didn't matter to him. He could tolerate it as long as it wasn't too much.Besides, he had already promised Wendy he would attend the banquet. The process didn't matter as long as the outcome was right.The scale of the Kinsley family's banquet was impressive, with the venue set at Snowfall Manor near the suburbs. The luxury vehicles along the way indicated that Avesburgh's elites were all attending.As they reached the manor's entrance and got out of the car, Sasha suddenly remembered something. She glanced at Felix. "I left my bag in the car. Could you get it for me?""Why can't you get it yourself?" Felix retorted.Sasha was stunned. She never expected Felix to talk like that. He was just too obnoxious."Do you want us to stand here and argue so others can laugh at us? Or do you want me to tell my dad that you have no sense of chivalry?" she asked.Not wanting
"Felix, come with me. I'll introduce you to some people who could be useful to you later." The moment Warren saw Felix, he almost dragged him away immediately."Uncle Warren, thank you for your good intentions, but I have my own approach. I'm really not that keen on this," Felix replied.Warren smiled and patted Felix on the shoulder. "Alright. I guess I was being too eager. Go ahead with Sasha and get to know some of the younger folks.""Okay," Felix responded. After Warren left, Sasha's expression turned icy. "Don't expect me to show you around."Felix said nothing and headed to a corner. He planned to grab something to eat and then call Wendy.If he hadn't given prior instructions, Wendy would have already been at the entrance to greet him personally. He didn't want Sasha to see the other side of him. After all, he wouldn't need to keep up the act much longer.Meanwhile, Sasha approached Hugo. She looked a bit nervous. "Hugo, do you remember me? I was also at Ivan's barbecue
Sasha was dumbfounded. Her mind went completely blank.She couldn't grasp why Hugo not only acted like he knew Felix but also didn't cause him any trouble. He even had a smile on his face. That was utterly baffling. She wondered if Hugo was being careful because Felix was known to be a strong fighter.However, as soon as that thought crossed her mind, she dismissed it.The Lambert family was powerful and prestigious in Avesburgh, far beyond what the Cameron family could compare to. There was no way Hugo would be intimidated by someone just because they were good at martial arts."You should use your time to do something worthwhile." After saying that, Felix left. He needed to find Wendy.Sasha stared blankly at his departing figure, and a terrifying thought suddenly crossed her mind. She couldn't shake the feeling that Felix might be a successful person."No! That can't be!" Sasha gritted her teeth and stomped her foot in frustration. She had to figure out the reason behind Hug
Hanging up the phone, Wendy hurriedly left after informing Felix. "Felix, I have to leave now! The goddess of war, Xena, has arrived unexpectedly. I need to go greet her."Felix nodded in acknowledgment. He wasn't planning to leave just yet. He didn't care why Xena had shown up suddenly, as long as he didn't run into her.A few minutes later, Wendy and Vincent were at the door to welcome Xena's arrival. Bernard, as the central figure of the event, was also there. With Xena's high status, there could be no room for any oversight."Dad, why has Xena come all of a sudden?" Wendy asked.Vincent shook his head. "I don't know. I just received the news myself. Could it be related to Mr. Zeller?"Hearing that, Wendy also thought it might be the case. It seemed that Xena hadn't given up."Listen up, both of you. Since Mr. Zeller refuses to reveal his personal information, we absolutely can't disclose it, no matter who the other party is," Bernard stated. To him, it was a matter of princip
When the car arrived at the manor, both Xena and Jordan got out, and the Kinsley family immediately greeted them, "Welcome to the banquet, Lady Summers."Xena nodded in response. "There's no need to be so formal. I heard that Mr. Kinsley Senior has fully recovered from his illness. After all, he did a lot of good deeds for Avesburgh back in the day. It's only right that I come to visit him."As she spoke, she extended her right hand. "This is Jordan Hall, the apprentice of Wesley Cane, who ranks fifth among the top ten master healers."The crowd was somewhat astonished. Anyone who rode with the goddess of war had to be extraordinary."Welcome, Mr. Hall," the crowd greeted.When the group entered the front courtyard, all the guests who had already received the news were visibly excited but didn't dare to approach. They could only watch from afar."My goodness! It's the goddess of war, Xena. I can't believe I'm seeing her in real life. She's so gorgeous." Sasha's face flushed with
Gilbert's sudden call brought Xena to an abrupt halt. She turned to look back, and instinctively, the others followed her lead. A sense of dread tightened in Wendy's chest. The shout from Gilbert felt like a harbinger of trouble. What could unfold now?Felix, however, remained unfazed. With no secrets to hide, he welcomed the opportunity for Gilbert to come to terms with the situation. "Let's go inside and discuss this further," he said.As Felix led Gilbert back into the dwelling, Xena's eyes flickered with disdain. "Master healer? If a small doctor from the countryside could be labeled as such, then this title had lost all its value," she thought as she continued on her path, convinced that Gilbert was another victim of Felix's schemes. "People are truly amusing these days. Master healer—what a joke!" Jordan scoffed, echoing the sentiment that the title had become a mere shadow of its former self. Xena would have apprehended Felix long ago if it weren't for the engageme
Businessmen were still businessmen, after all—they had a lot to consider."Yes, Dr. Zeller," Gilbert answered.As the two left the banquet, only Xena, Jordan, and three members of the Kinsley family remained in the reception room."I don't like to beat around the bush. You should understand the benefits of my visit today! You can also amplify these benefits, which can work in reverse," Xena said harshly.Upon hearing Xena's words, Wendy and the others changed their expressions. They wondered if this was a threat.However, it was undeniably a fact—if Xena wanted to take action against the Kinsleys, she could do so in the blink of an eye."Xena, the Kinsleys have become the wealthiest in Avesburgh. While I can't say they're cunning, they certainly hold their own," Jordan played the role of the peacemaker. Jordan had known Xena for quite some time. He understood how to navigate the situation."You should also understand. After all, Mr. Kinsley Senior was once bedridden and in dan
