Chapter 482

Author: Dreamy Fire
"What are you talking about?" Sherlyn pouted. "My grandfather truly has something important to discuss with you."

Felix sighed, deciding to be direct with her. He genuinely didn't want her to waste her time on him. "Sherlyn, you deserve better happiness. Don't waste your time on me."

Unexpectedly, Sherlyn wasn't angry. Instead, she smiled and said, "Don't worry. If I ever feel there's no hope at all, I'll leave. A woman's intuition is quite accurate, you know."

Since she had made up her mind, what else could Felix do?

Just then, footsteps sounded again, and Felix stood up quickly. To his surprise, even Sherlyn's father, Isaac, was there. It seemed that this matter wasn't a simple one.

However, what could Felix possibly help with? After all, to everyone else, he was just an ordinary person now. He had no plans to reveal that he had regained his strength as his current situation was rather nice.

"Hello, Mr. Holt Senior and Mr. Holt."

After the three of them sat down, Isaac broke

    Felix could barely hold back his frustration. If it weren't for the presence of Ernest and others inside, he might have shouted."You old geezer, do I even have your contact information? How was I supposed to report to you?" Gerald's shameless behavior was something he was well acquainted with. The voice on the other end sounded as nonchalant as ever."So, you succeeded then! Doesn't it feel wonderful to break through and rebuild yourself?" Felix had to admit it was true."Yes," he replied simply."Now that your strength has advanced to the Innate Realm, don't go bothering your fellow apprentices anymore, understand?" Felix had expected this. The thrill of being able to rely on his fellow apprentices' resources over the past month was clearly short-lived."Understood. However, there's one more thing I would like to report, Mr. Hoffman. It's about the Shadowdragon Warlord."After Felix was done explaining, he could hear Gerald's voice lower in tone."That old coot is still

    Just as Ernest finished speaking, a loud, grumbling voice came from inside the room."Ernest! Who are you calling an old man?"The voice sounded robust, hardly like that of a sick person. Ernest put on an embarrassed smile. The man was, after all, his old superior. His rebukes were warranted.As Felix passed Nala, he ignored her entirely. However, he had already picked up on something–the relationship between Lionel and Nala wasn't an ordinary one. Given the way Ernest spoke to her, they might even be family."If Ernest hadn't brought you, I wouldn't even let you set foot inside this door, Felix!" Nala's gaze was impassive, but her disdain was palpable. She wasn't one to be swayed by emotions, but the incident with the Walsh family had infuriated her. Although the agreement with the Walsh family still stood, it grated on her that someone she had labeled as useless dared flaunt himself in her presence. Had he come to curry favor with Shadowdragon Warlord using his past ties with

    As Felix's words echoed through the room, even Lionel was momentarily stunned despite his vast experiences. He had long since given up hope of a cure, so his surprise was only natural. Ernest and Isaac, who always believed in Felix, were immediately filled with uncontainable excitement. For men of their caliber and integrity, this wasn't about personal gain or reputation. They were genuinely praying for Lionel's health.Only Nala's gaze remained icy."Felix! Do you think this is a joke? So many master healers have tried and failed, yet you think you can? Maybe once upon a time, I would've believed it. However, given your current skills, stop joking around!"Felix ignored her and looked directly at Lionel. "Would you permit me to give it a try, My Lord?"Lionel, who had snapped out of his shock, laughed heartily."Why wouldn't I agree? True healers never enter a battle they're not prepared for. While I am not afraid of the outcome, I must ask you how confident you are.""A hun

    How could that be possible? Hadn't Felix lost his martial abilities? Silas personally confirmed it, and she had been there to witness it. However, just one month later, he had not only regained his strength but also ascended to the Innate Realm."Very impressive, young man. It's remarkable that you reached the Innate Realm at such a young age!" Lionel chuckled, clearly impressed. It made him even happier, especially because Felix was a patriot.Nala, her expression conflicted, shot Felix a hard look before turning and leaving the room. Since he had reached the Innate Realm, it was clear that his medical skills had not only returned but likely surpassed his previous level. She couldn't possibly continue to argue."Did you ever refine a specific bone, My Lord?" Felix asked once they were alone in the wooden house.Lionel's gaze shifted instantly. "Can you detect that bone's presence? Felix nodded. "Yes, and I'm certain that your current condition was caused by that bone."In fact,

    Felix fell silent before standing up. "If that's your decision, then I have nothing more to say."To his surprise, Lionel chuckled. "I was just joking. How could I possibly risk my life for that bone? Go ahead with the treatment."It was all a test to see if Felix truly understood the nature of the bone. Felix hadn't given away anything, so the Warlord felt reassured.Felix felt a little helpless. Dealing with these experienced veterans was truly nerve-wracking. Even a minor reaction could have complicated things. Gerald had been right. Only those who practiced the Dragons Destroyer technique could safely refine an ancient dragon's spine. Anyone else, like Lionel with his unorthodox approach, was bound to face problems sooner or later.Outside, Nala sat on a small bench in the courtyard, lost in thought.To be honest, she had always had men wrapped around her finger, but Felix was different. Not only did he seem unaffected by her charm, but he had also, strangely, become an enig

    As days passed, Nala never left. She would only enter the wooden house after Felix had finished his treatments. Over time, Felix also discovered the presence of an elderly person living somewhere nearby. This person only appeared during mealtimes, bringing them food. Felix figured he was likely there to protect Lionel.On the fourth day, after finishing his treatment, Felix stepped outside and saw someone approaching."Zara?" he called out.Felix was surprised. He hadn't expected to see Zara here at such a time and place. Her face, as always, could only be described as unattractive."Felix!" Clearly, Zara was equally stunned to run into him here. But the next moment, she quickly looked away. "My… my mentor told me not to speak to you."If it hadn't been for this reminder, Felix would've forgotten about the conversation with Silas and the promise he had made.At that moment, Nala appeared, and Zara hurriedly spoke up. "Lady Nala, this is a new medicine my mentor developed. It ca

    On the seventh day, after Felix withdrew the silver needles from Lionel's body, he wiped the sweat from his forehead."Kindly check your body. Your issue's all resolved," Felix said.In truth, the silver needles were just a diversion. Without the Dragons Destroyer technique, he would have been powerless against the ancient dragon's spine fragment within Lionel's body.After getting off the bed and stretching his limbs, Lionel's eyes gradually grew brighter. He struck out with a palm, and the door to the wooden house shattered into pieces."Not bad. I can feel my old vigor returning! Finally, I don't have to lie in bed like a sickly person waiting for death!" Lionel exclaimed.As his voice echoed, the elderly man who had been bringing them meals appeared at the door, his face also showing a smile."Congratulations on your rebirth, My Lord."Nearby, Nala also smiled. Her grandfather's recovery made her genuinely happy. Felix was now a secondary matter."Felix, how would you like

    In a karaoke center in Canraville, Felix sat alone in the private room, surprised that Jack hadn't arrived yet. He thought to himself, "What a flaky guy."He took a moment to assess himself, and a smile spread across his face. His strength had once again increased since he had two pieces of Dragonspine in his body. Honestly, Felix felt like he was dreaming. Because of this, his fascination with the Dragonspine deepened, but he also had one lingering concern in his mind.After thinking it through, and since Jack and Vanessa hadn't shown up yet, Felix got up and walked to the lounge area in the center's main hall. He then dialed the strange number from before.Perhaps because of Lionel, Gerald answered his call after a few rings. "Did you succeed?""Yes, Mr. Hoffman. You might not believe it, but I found out the true cause of Lionel's condition."Gerald scolded him immediately, "Drop the suspense, you little brat. Tell me right now!"Felix couldn't help but chuckle. So Gerald was

    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
