Chapter 490

Author: Dreamy Fire
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

    Inside the envelope was a single sheet of paper with one huge word written on it, "Death"."Don't worry. It's probably just someone pulling a prank. I'll go check it out," Felix said.Knowing Felix's abilities, Jack didn't try to stop him. "Alright, but come back quickly. Let me know if it's something serious so I can tell Nessa."Felix headed to Room V03. Pushing the door open, he saw a young man sitting alone on the couch. The table was lined with unopened bottles of alcohol, and the TV was paused. It was clear he wasn't here to have fun."I don't believe we've met before," Felix said as he casually took a seat.To Felix's surprise, the young man rose to his feet and approached him. Then, he suddenly dropped to his knees in front of him. "Please! I beg you to save my grandfather!"Felix blinked in confusion. This wasn't what he expected at all. He had thought it might be an enemy coming to pick a fight. "Please stand up first. Who is your grandfather?" Felix asked.The young

    Felix smiled and replied, "She's alright."Vanessa beamed at that. "I told Jack there'd be no problem! I'm the best person for finding you a girlfriend. Nancy is my best friend from college. She's now a university lecturer at Shunnington University in Canraville. "She's beautiful, has a great figure, a good personality, and lots of guys are chasing her. You have to seize this opportunity!"Felix scratched his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Vanessa, I appreciate your kind intentions, but I'm not really considering anything like that for now."Vanessa glared at Felix, clearly unwilling to give up."Hey! At least spare me the embarrassment, alright? Even when her family sets her up on blind dates, she refuses to meet them. However, she came as soon as I called. If you act like this, what am I supposed to do? Plus, she's a woman—it's not easy for her to do this either."That left Felix speechless. He hadn't thought that far ahead."You know what? I'll get her number later, and w

    Felix had no idea how to get to Shunnington University, which was why he hadn't realized anything. However, the driver soon withdrew a hand from the steering wheel. Reaching toward his abdomen, he pulled out a handgun, pointing it directly at Felix."Don't even think about moving an inch. I've killed more than just one person."In the back seat, Nancy was terrified, even though she couldn't see the gun. With the car speeding along, jumping out wasn't an option."So, you're a killer. I'm guessing this cab isn't yours either?" Felix remarked calmly.The driver smirked. "You're pretty sharp. The real driver is in the trunk. He's dead as a doornail. I was planning to grab some random passenger, but then you flagged me down."As he spoke, the driver glanced at Nancy in the rearview mirror, licking his lips. "Damn, this chick is a knockout. Way better than the ones I've paid for. I'm going to take my time with her."Felix's expression turned odd. Of all the people to run into, he had

    Xena continued, "You can deny it if you want, but the truth speaks for itself. An S-rank fugitive is at least near the level of a Martial King. Even most martial artists wouldn't stand a chance. Yet you took him down effortlessly. Do I need to keep going?"The S-rank fugitive wasn't weak. You're just too strong."She wasn't wrong. Felix hadn't given it much thought as everything had happened too quickly."My strength has indeed recovered," he admitted.Hearing that, Xena broke into a bright smile. It was a genuine smile that came straight from the heart."All that effort finally paid off. Back then, you gave everything to save those kids. It seems heaven has finally smiled on you."Standing up, Xena prepared to leave. "Now that your strength is back, your medical skills must be as well. I have nothing to worry about anymore."Felix hesitated for a moment, then rushed forward and grabbed her hand. "Xena, let's be together!"Xena looked into his eyes, then slowly pulled her hand

    The burly man had never heard his employer sound so irritated before, but it was understandable given the circumstances.Taking revenge on someone as insignificant as Ryland should have been a walk in the park. It should have been an effortless task. However, an unexpected hiccup arose.The unexpected involvement of the Meadowspring village chief wasn't a big deal as their plan could still proceed. However, just as the second phase of their plan was about to begin, someone appeared. That person issued a warning to his employer to leave Michelle and Ryland alone.His employer had no choice but to swallow his pride and comply. The reason? That person was the legendary Silver Flute. Refusing such a figure could easily cost them their life.Naturally, all the pent-up frustration and resentment had to be directed somewhere. Since Felix was also involved, he became the perfect target. However, Karina had left Felix out of the loop entirely. …Meanwhile, Jack had just finished washing

    While on the road to Meadowspring, with only about three miles left to reach his destination, Felix suddenly slammed on the brakes. A BMW X6 had abruptly swerved in front of him, its brake lights flashing. A collision would've been inevitable if not for Felix's quick reflexes.The road was already narrow to begin with, with only two lanes for traffic. While the BMW's aggressive maneuver was extremely frustrating for any driver, Felix was in a hurry. Hence, he couldn't be bothered to deal with it. With a swift turn of the steering wheel, he aimed to overtake the car. To his surprise, the BMW had also veered into the opposite lane, clearly intending to block him.Felix took a moment to assess the situation. The BMW had been driving at a crawl just ten minutes earlier, and Felix had honked a few times, but the driver had ignored him. It seemed like the driver was seeking revenge just because of those few honks.A wry smile crossed Felix's face as he pressed the gas pedal, feinting a

    The small square of Meadowspring was packed with people. The women were crying, and the men were no better, their faces full of sorrow.The cause of this collective sadness was Calum, the old village chief, whose contributions to the village were well-known to all. His downfall was a tragic event for everyone. Despite the grief, no one dared to speak out because of the power of the Saphira family. The Saphira family was the law, and no one could change that. Strictly speaking, Calum had indeed broken the rules, which was a fact, so the villagers could only send him off in this manner.At that moment, Calum appeared, flanked by two men dressed in traditional blue suits, symbolizing their direct Saphira lineage. If someone from the collateral branches of the family dared to wear those clothes, they would be executed on the spot.Among the crowd, a large man frowned. He was Pearly's lackey."Could it be that Pearly's prediction was wrong? It's about to start, but Felix still hasn't

    After Calum finished speaking, he turned to Giovanni. "Giovanni, I've never asked you for anything as one of your former mentors. Felix has not harmed anyone or insulted the Saphira family. Let him go," Calum said.Giovanni sighed but shook his head. "If this was a few minutes ago, I might have agreed, but now it's impossible. You should know that the authority of the Saphira family is unquestionable."Take him away!"At this point, Felix was getting frustrated. All he had come to do was speak a few words, but they were pushing things too far. He didn't want to make an enemy of the Saphira family, but that didn't mean he was afraid of them.Xerxes, still trying to hold back his laughter, had already guessed that Felix wasn't from Meadowspring. However, it no longer mattered. Once someone crossed the Saphira family, there was only one outcome, regardless of whoever they were.The large man who served Pearly also smirked slightly. His employer's prediction had been spot on. Felix's

    Inside the pavilion, Felix reached the top floor. He spotted a young man with tan skin lounging on a couch. On the floor beside him was a pitiful-looking woman. The woman did not react to Felix's arrival at all. Her eyes were blank. The young man, however, spoke up. "Check her out. Can you fix her?" Felix did not move. Instead, he asked, "What happens if I can heal her?" This young man was clearly Koros, the Malevolent Phantom. He looked up at Felix with surprise. "Interesting. You're the first person who didn't even bother looking at her before trying to cut a deal." Though Felix stayed silent, his expression made it clear he was waiting for an answer. "It's simple. If you heal her, I'll leave Medic's Haven, and all these people can go on living their lives. Pretty good deal, right? But the real question is—can you actually do it?" Felix remained rooted to his spot. "I thought A-tier Malevolent Phantoms were stuck in their territories. How are you moving around freely?"

    Magnus was the Supreme Elder of Medic's Haven and had met with Felix not long ago. He was a man of integrity who had devoted himself to advancing traditional medicine. Yet, he was now dead and couldn't even rest in peace. After all, his body had been torn to pieces and hung up as a warning to others. "Screw this! I'll kill that bastard!" Finally, Felix could not contain himself anymore. He was here to kill the Malevolent Phantom anyway. The process didn't matter as long as he could get the job done. Claro and Roger were terrified. They seemed to have anticipated this reaction and rushed to persuade him, "Dr. Zeller, please stay calm!" "You absolutely cannot act rashly. Though we also want to avenge Mr. Grimwald, that Malevolent Phantom holds the lives of thousands of people in Medic's Haven." Felix slowly sat back down, remembering what Xena had told him. If he couldn't figure this out, he could not afford to move. He couldn't bear the responsibility for thousands of deaths

    Felix looked at the middle-aged man who had just appeared. The man's gaze was icy cold, and he definitely didn't look like he was joking. Felix asked, "Is that so? Where should I strip?" While pointing with his right hand, the middle-aged man spoke firmly. "Right here." Felix couldn't help but snicker. "What an unreasonable demand." He had never heard that visitors of Medic's Haven were required to strip for a body examination. Not just Medic's Haven—there couldn't be such an unreasonable requirement anywhere else in the world. "Fine then. I wish Medic's Haven continued success." With that, Felix turned to leave but was suddenly called back. "Wait, young man. Don't go yet." Felix turned around to see another middle-aged man who had just emerged. As the man was about to speak, his eyes suddenly widened. "Are you Dr. Zeller?" Felix wondered if that man had recognized him. This wasn't surprising, considering the commotion Felix had caused at Medic's Haven back then. After

    Jack mumbled, "Damn it, I'm so jealous you have so many wives."Felix thought to himself, "Oh no." And sure enough, Vanessa's face darkened with anger. "Nessa, he's just talking nonsense while drunk. Don't take it personally." Vanessa stretched her neck and smiled, though her smile made even Felix feel uncomfortable. "Listen to yourself. Why would I get upset over what some drunk man says?" As he watched the car drive away, Felix silently mourned for his good friend. He guessed that when Jack woke up tomorrow, he'd be in for a world of hurt. The next morning, Felix was in the car heading toward Medic's Haven when he received a call from Donna. "There's an A-tier Malevolent Phantom inside Medic's Haven. Don't worry, an S-tier would absolutely never do something like this." So it was indeed an A-tier, just as he had suspected. "How did this thing manage to erase ten people's souls simultaneously? And according to the monitoring personnel on site, no one even saw the Malevo

    Felix thought he had misheard. There was no way Malevolent Phantoms would provoke humans. "Do you know what you're talking about?" On the other end, Xena raised her voice, as if to remind him that this was serious business. "You heard me correctly! Do you remember Medic's Haven?" "Of course I do." Because of a man named Ethan, Felix had visited Medic's Haven back then. He hadn't paid much attention to it since then. After eliminating some corrupt elements, Medic's Haven's existence had only benefited Dragonia with no downsides. Many highly skilled traditional medicine practitioners were trained there, and Silas was one of them. "What does this have to do with Medic's Haven?" Xena continued, "A Malevolent Phantom has appeared at Medic's Haven and claimed to have occupied the place. It's demanding we send highly skilled medical practitioners there, or it will start killing people." What the hell! Had it completely lost its mind? Felix's expression changed. He was sure the

    Felix hadn't realized anything was wrong until he returned to Newtown that evening. He was totally stunned when he saw the scene before him. "What's going on here?" The massive living room was filled with beautiful women. Besides Eloise, Dahlia, and Karina, all his other fellow apprentices had somehow arrived. Including Nerissa, there were seven gorgeous women in total. Felix felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and he felt nervous. After all, what man wouldn't feel uncomfortable with seven beautiful women giving him such suggestive looks? "Don't ask. It was all Aunt Cordelia who invited us here," Rosalie said with a mischievous smile before Cordelia stood up. "Alright, everyone, go get ready. Don't worry. Nerissa has already agreed, so I'll handle the rest of the arrangements." The women departed one by one, leaving behind a thoroughly confused Felix. "Mom, what are you trying to do?" Cordelia walked over and took Felix's hand. "You're not getting any younger, F

    Kingston's soul was covered in dense soul ties, and countless threads wove through his soul."I'm a Black Soul Scout, second to the White Soul Scout! I have many secrets up my sleeves. Do you really think you can get priceless information out of me, Felix? Stop your wishful thinking!" he sneered smugly."Maybe you think you're truly powerful, but these ties are all linked together! Just cutting one would crush my entire soul. In the end, you'll get nothing!"Felix had miscalculated. He didn't expect the Scarlet Lord to be so cunning."I'd advise you to let me go. Just because we're not confronting you head-on, doesn't mean we're afraid of you! There are reasons why we're not. But if you kill a Black Soul Scout like me, the Hall of Souls will definitely go to war with you!"As Kingston spoke, he felt like he had more and more control over the situation; like the tides were turning in his favor. "You've provoked the Ancient Sage, killing two of his Eight Guardians. Do you really t

    After some time had passed, Felix rode a rental bike to a parking spot near the rented house. After all, the show still needed to go on. At this point, his soul power had been fully restored.As for Xena, her soul must've improved as well. If he could successfully capture the Black Soul Scout, it would be like killing two birds with one stone! After paying off the bike and taking a few steps, Felix felt a dark energy coming toward him.The energy wasn't strong, but it was enough to make him trip. He didn't dodge or avoid it, just merely pretending that he didn't notice. When the dark energy reached him, his body felt unstable, falling straight to the ground."What the hell?" he muttered, getting up from the ground. He looked around but continued to walk forward helplessly.The Black Soul Scout was truly cautious. Even with three soul barriers, Felix was still being tested. Was it because of how he looked? Was this its final test?After entering the rental house, he turned on the t

    As Felix looked at the various swarms of clothing rushing into the store, he had no time to think and decide. In his "final attempt" to escape, he closed his eyes desperately, letting the clothes swarm him.Felix had decided to take a gamble. Orchard Square had never reported a murder, after all. The Black Soul Scout had set up multiple soul barriers, making it complicated. It was definitely not for killing.Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to have done it from the start, or killed them in secret? Why did they have to go to a mall where people gather?When Felix opened his eyes again, he knew he had won his bet. At this moment, he was definitely still in Orchard Square. He was sitting on a bench and the customers who walked in and out were extremely normal.He turned to look at the time and it had been an hour since he had entered Orchard Square. Strangely, it lined up perfectly with the time he had spent in the illusion. As he glanced around, he noticed a few people sitting on cha
