Felix's expression darkened. Xena had been taken away right after sending him that message. "Did they say why?"

"They just said they need her to 'cooperate with an investigation.' But it can't be good! Mr. Zeller, when the Disciplinary Affairs Committee shows up from headquarters, it means serious trouble. They don't appear unless something's very wrong."

Last night's conversation with Nala flashed through Felix's mind. His eyes glinted coldly. "Got it."

After hanging up, he quickly called Hector, who answered promptly. "Felix, are you calling about Phoenix Warlord?"

Given Hector's intelligence, he must have noticed something between them when Xena had asked about Felix last time.

"Yes, Mr. Downy. How serious is it?"

"It depends on how the committee classifies it. This morning, headquarters received an anonymous tip claiming that during her time as the goddess of war, Xena abused her position to help her uncle, Perry Glover, establish Goldwind Chamber of Commerce.

    "Sorry, Nancy. I have an urgent matter to attend to, so I'm heading back now." Nancy smiled. "I just called out since you hadn't gone far. Take care on your way back." Her eyes showed no suspicion, so Felix left. What had started as an excuse was now a genuine emergency. Almost immediately after Felix disappeared, someone approached Nancy. "Cici, who was that?" The one asking the question was Drake, the subject of the students' earlier gossip and the owner of the Porsche.Nancy's smile vanished instantly. "Are we that close? And how many times have I told you not to call me Cici?" As Nancy rode away on her scooter, Drake's brows furrowed deeply. Normally, having friends of the opposite sex would not be weird. But after pursuing Nancy for so long, this was the first time he had seen her give any man such a genuine smile. Something was definitely off. "Damn it! How dare that guy touch the woman I've got my eyes on? He's asking for trouble!"…At New Glory, Felix was reliev

    Lionel responded without hesitation, "Felix, you saved my life. How could I ignore your request? But as I said, we can't violate principles. "Here's what I can do. I'll have them release Xena to continue her work. She'll need to stay in Canraville, waiting for the investigation's outcome." Felix was satisfied with this. Even though someone of Xena's rank would surely have comfortable accommodations, freedom was far better than detention. "Thank you, Lord Lionel." After the call ended, Lionel turned to Nala, who was sitting beside him. "You clever girl, always thinking ahead for your grandpa!" Nala smiled and said, "I knew I couldn't fool someone as shrewd as you." Lionel glared at her before sighing resignedly. "By doing this, it shows your power to Felix and uses up the debt I owed him. Nala, do you have to be so calculating? You're always planning so far ahead. Isn't it tiring to live like that?" Nala slowly raised her hands before saying, "Grandpa, I'd already be dead if

    The engine roared suddenly. It was enough to startle anyone normal, but Felix remained unmoved on his scooter as he sat through three green lights. It eventually forced the woman to back up and find another route.Back home, he received a call from Leonard, the specialist from Mercy Hospital who had helped him before. "Mr. Ziegler, what can I help you with?" "Felix, remember I mentioned I might need your expertise? I wonder if you could help me out with something now." Felix smiled warmly. "Of course. Without your help last time, that old man would have died, and my friend would've been in serious trouble. Just tell me what you need." Despite his exceptional medical skills, Felix always showed deep respect to those he deemed worthy. "Great! Then, I'll be direct. An old friend of mine has a rare heart condition with only a few dozen cases worldwide. There's foreign medication available, but it only treats symptoms and not the cause. His spirits are sinking daily." After heari

    The woman's appearance drew different reactions from everyone. Marcus quickly asked, "Bertha, do you know Dr. Zeller?" Felix had not expected to encounter the rude Mercedes driver here. He smirked and said, "That would be an understatement. Mr. Rothwell, is this your wife?" Despite his growing unease, Marcus admitted, "Yes, she's my wife." Bertha Whitmore, who had been about to speak, quickly shut her mouth upon seeing Marcus' respectful attitude toward Felix. Felix scoffed. "Your wife's quite the tyrant in public. She's the rudest person I've ever encountered!" Turning to Leonard, Felix continued, "Mr. Ziegler, though I promised you I'd help, I can't help a family with someone like this. Frankly speaking, they can't be good people. I'm leaving!" Felix was not a masochist. Why should he help her family after she had insulted him so viciously? That was impossible! Caught off guard by this development, Leonard shot Bertha a dark look before hurrying after Felix without a

    "Bertha used to be slender, beautiful, and refined. But two years ago, they lost their only child in a car accident. She turned into a completely different person. Though she's alright at home, she's become a complete shrew in public. "I'm not excusing her behavior, but I truly hope you can give Garrett a reason to keep living," Leonard explained. Felix sighed deeply before turning around. "Alright. You've convinced me." Seeing Felix return, Garrett broke down in tears. Knowing it was Leonard's doing, he pointed at Bertha. "Kneel and—" Felix raised his hand. "No need. Let's go to the bedroom for your treatment." Watching Felix's retreating back, Bertha collapsed, crying into Marcus' arms. "Marcus, I'm sorry. I know my mistake this time."…After leaving the Rothwell residence, Leonard was overwhelmed with emotion. "Felix, thank you. Seeing Garrett recover was my greatest wish." He was once again astounded by Felix's medical skills. That rare heart condition stumped doctor

    Felix felt really annoyed being called out in such a rude way in public. Turning around, he saw it was Ethan from Medic's Haven. His irritation subsided. Clearly, Ethan was still relying on his supposed backup to cause trouble. "Damn it! I don't care who you are. Get lost!" George erupted. He was furious that his moment of joy over Felix's agreement had been ruined. "I'm here for Felix. You're the one who should leave!"With a clank, George's glass shattered on the floor as he pointed angrily, while a middle-aged man appeared before Ethan. "Get rid of him. I'll deal with him myself later!" George could afford such arrogance as a rich young heir from Yartford. In Canraville, he could disregard anyone he pleased. Felix was content to let things play out silently. Ethan clicked his tongue. "George, I haven't seen you in a while, but your temper's gotten worse, hasn't it? Heard you'd reformed and started managing your dad's business. I guess you still need more practice."With

    Harry, who had been listening intently the entire time, suddenly burst out laughing. "Talk about asking for trouble! Felix, did you really think we hadn't looked into your background?"Sure, you used to have some influence, and plenty of big shots owed you favors, but what are you now? Just another ordinary doctor. Do you honestly believe everyone is like George, desperately hoping you'll make a comeback?"Maybe you had a shot at that before, but now? That chance is long gone. Besides, even if you did rise back up, do you think you could go against Ethan?"Ethan works for Malcolm, and Malcolm is my cousin. By messing with Ethan, you're disrespecting Malcolm. Simply put, you've picked a fight with someone you shouldn't have." George watched with a cold smirk, knowing everyone who had tried to destroy Felix felt this same confidence. Yet, they all regretted it the next moment."Oh? Someone I shouldn't mess with? Are they really that important?" Felix asked casually.Harry straight

    Harry expected the other party to back down after making such bold threats, since no one would typically risk a conflict between two great martial families over an outsider. However, the young man responded by striking Harry to the ground with a single slap. When the men in black suits moved to intervene, the young man merely flexed his arms, and an invisible force sent them all flying backward. "You're just a distant relative of the Crayden family, yet you dare show off in front of us? If Malcolm came here to say these words, that would be a different story." He emphasized his point by stepping on Harry's face. "The name's Jeffrey Saphira, and you can tell the Craydens that Felix is a friend of the Saphira family. If anyone wants to mess with him, they'll have to deal with us first. Now get lost!" His commanding tone terrified Harry. Even Ethan, who had just gotten up, stood dumbfounded. They could not comprehend why someone like Felix had such strong backing from the Saphira

    With Xena already being so forward, Felix saw no reason to hold back. He swept her up in his arms and rushed upstairs at lightning speed.…When Felix awoke the following day, he could hardly believe how easily things had progressed with Xena, especially without having to deal with Curtis. He quickly checked his body, but his face fell as he made a shocking discovery."How is this possible?" he muttered, noticing that Madam Spring's mark was still clearly visible.As a thought struck him, he turned to look at the woman beside him, who had just rolled over to face him. He gasped in shock, exclaiming, "Averill?"Lying next to him was not Xena at all, but Averill. At the sound of her name, Averill opened her eyes, blinking innocently."Oh, seems like the illusion spell wore off right on schedule," she said casually. Felix was speechless. With Averill's level of power, there was no way he could have detected her disguise.Averill sat up and playfully tilted Felix's chin toward h

    Felix could swear he was not seeing things. Xena sat on his couch, with two glasses and a bottle of wine on the coffee table before her."Your life seems quite fun," Xena remarked, her initial smile instantly fading as her eyes fixed on Wendy in Felix's arms. Felix glanced down, finally realizing the gravity of the situation."Xena, I—" he started, but she cut him off, "No need to explain. I clearly came at a bad time. Don't worry. I'll use the front door next time."Felix inwardly cursed at this massive misunderstanding. He called out, "Xena, please let me explain! This is Wendy Kinsley—you must know who she is. She had too much to drink, and I don't know where she stays, so I—"However, his words trailed off as Xena had already vanished through the door.Looking at the wine bottle on the table, Felix felt incredibly frustrated. It was obvious Xena had found her own way into his villa to surprise him and probably have a heart-to-heart conversation.Instead of strengthening the

    Felix took a sip of his beer before asking, "Do you really think this was a coincidence? If the Saphira family wanted to visit me, they could have done it anytime. Why specifically now?"Although he was unsure about Barack's background, Felix knew the situation was not as simple as it appeared. Seeing his expression, George decided not to pursue the topic further."Oh, by the way, Malcolm is a direct descendant of the Crayden family. He's also one of Lady Nala's suitors," George mentioned. "He's actually one of those powerful pursuers Mr. Gibson warned about earlier."The implication was clear—George wanted Felix to be careful. Felix merely nodded, as Nala's romantic affairs were not his concern.Nonetheless, he figured Malcolm would likely let the Ethan incident slide after the Saphira family's intervention. After all, it was simply not worth the trouble.An hour later, as they were leaving, the elevator stopped one floor down. Felix could not help but be shocked when he notice
