Chapter 519

Author: Dreamy Fire
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

    Felix had no other choice. Whether he would succumb to darkness or not was a problem for later. Since his Ethereal Constitution was still incomplete, he could only unleash Lumen in an attempt to kill Kevin.His strength was beyond anything Felix had anticipated.Just when he thought it was about to be over, Kevin suddenly stood still. A crimson glow flickered around him, then condensed into a shield the size of a plate. It perfectly intercepted Lumen just inches from his forehead."What?" Felix was utterly shocked. This was the first time anyone had ever blocked Lumen. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought it was a dream.Kevin sneered. "Aren't you the miracle doctor's mentee? Do you really think that once a martial artist reaches a certain level, they wouldn't have some understanding of the soul? If I wasn't fully prepared, do you think I would have revealed myself to kill you?"Kevin had a soul-defense weapon similar to the Infinite Shield. Felix found i

    What Kevin said next left Felix utterly shocked."Forget Eloise. If the miracle doctor were to release the seals on all nine of your fellow apprentices, I wouldn't stand a chance against a single one of them."Seals on all nine of his fellow apprentices? What did that mean?No matter how much Felix tried to goad Kevin for more information, he wouldn't say another word. He had no choice but to dismiss it as nonsense.After another ten minutes, Kevin suddenly unleashed a devastating strike, which sent Felix flying backward. However, by doing so, Kevin left himself exposed. For the first time, Felix landed a clean hit on him."Felix, now you'll witness the moment I've been waiting for all these years. Without this full-power battle between us, I never would've reached this point!"With that, Kevin pulled out an object. As his upper garments shredded apart, he pressed it against his chest.Felix grew anxious as he had seen that object before. It was the same bone that had flown away

    The moment a disheveled old man appeared, Felix knew that it was no coincidence. The old man had come looking for him on purpose. However, the real question was why he dared to do that."I believe this is our first meeting, right, Kevin?"Kevin grinned. "Yes."Felix rolled his neck. After all, he anticipated this fight a lot. During his fight against Cordelia, he felt the need to hold back. However, he didn't have to do that this time. After all, Kevin was one of the best fighters. There was no doubt about that."Did you come to avenge your mentee Aiden?" Felix asked.To his surprise, Kevin shook his head. "No. On the contrary, I should be thanking you for killing Aiden. I believe in fate, and I never try to manipulate it. "When the three Celestial Royals joined forces against you at the foot of Trirock Mountain, I was certain you would die. However, fate took a turn."Felix frowned, struggling to make sense of why he would want to thank him."So many things I thought were des

    "What is this thing?" Westley asked."This thing created all the mist in Misty Ridge," Felix replied.He didn't bother explaining the origins of the Infinite Shield in detail. Instead, he simply raised his right hand and touched it.In an instant, the Infinite Shield transformed into a streak of green light and disappeared into his body.As he felt the shield merge with his soul, a lingering sense of unease crept over him as he recalled Ophelia's warning.When dealing with the Three Forbidden Lands, the order of entry was crucial. If done incorrectly, the consequences would be disastrous.He had entered Echo Cavern first by pure luck. Back then, he had been ambushed by Dean and the Grand Elder. Both of them had mastered Transcendent Realm. Hence, Felix hadn't had the luxury of choice. Just surviving had been enough for him.It was only thanks to Ophelia's guidance that he had avoided stepping into Misty Ridge back then. Otherwise, who knew what would have happened?Even though

    Felix was stunned. What were the odds? He had just run into one of Nerissa's family members. On top of that, he was a highly respected elder. "Hello, sir."Since he wasn't officially engaged with Nerissa yet, Felix wasn't sure how to address him. Hence, he simply nodded at him in greeting and handed him a few pills hurriedly.Westley was dumbfounded as Felix offered both fasting pills and ones for recovery. As the fifth elder of the Xavier family who mastered Transcendent Realm, he was experienced enough to know that these pills weren't something just anyone could casually offer. "Thank you very much."Half an hour later, Westley had finished regulating his condition. Although he hadn't fully recovered, he could move freely again."What's your name, young man? I owe you a huge favor. Once we get out of here, I'll repay you."The sincere gleam of his eyes revealed that Westley was a man who never left a debt unpaid. It made sense. After all, how else could he have raised Neriss

    "The reason that creature suddenly lashed out so violently was because of the formation covering Martial City," Xena explained. "Based on my observations, this formation prevents Malevolent Phantoms from entering. That old man only got in because someone deliberately used a token to bring him inside. Even though he made it through, the formation still affected him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have killed so openly like you described."Malevolent Phantoms were already difficult to deal with, and intelligent Malevolent Phantoms were even worse. But that raised a bigger question. How were they created?"Since you've already taken care of it, I can at least report that much," Xena continued. "Felix, I really hope you can finish your mission soon. The capital desperately needs the warriors of Martial City to step in."With that, the call ended. Felix hadn't gained much new information, so all he could do was continue following his plan.After arriving at Misty Ridge, Felix immediately sens

    For martial artists who reached the Transcendent Realm, the first three years were crucial for growth. After that period, their strength would be practically set. Hence, that phase determined the gap between those at the same level.Cordelia, for example, had attained her current level of power three years after reaching the Transcendent Realm. Given how things are unfolding, Felix only needed six months after activating Lone Paragon to reach his current strength. It was highly likely that he could reach her level as well.However, before he could dwell on these thoughts, a phone call from Xena completely disrupted his focus.To be honest, Felix was caught off guard. This was a phone exclusively used in Martial City. If Xena hadn't saved her number on his phone before he entered Martial City and mentioned that she might contact him one day, he would have never believed it."You entered Martial City?" Felix asked, puzzled. Xena wasn't someone who could just waltz into Martial City f

    "This guy's cultivation technique is just a little strange, nothing special," Laura said.After relaying Felix's telepathy message, she stepped back. Her words had the intended effect. Everyone let out a sigh of relief. If more of those kinds of monsters started appearing, who could possibly stand against them?Though the situation had finally settled down, Felix wasn't the least bit happy. While his own troubles had just ended, the ordeal was completely unexpected. Logically, he still believed in the Phaeron Codex. After all, he had been practicing it himself and understood its power. If what was written in it was true, then there was no way for any of the wraiths to leave Corpse Town. So how did that old man get out?He decided not to dwell on it for now, as he had his own path to walk first.A few days later, in Imperial City, the Emperor and his sons sat in gloomy silence, staring at the three Celestial Royals standing at the forefront."You all saw what happened at the foot

    "Make way!""Mr. Zeller is here!""Yeah, step aside!"The open space where Felix had previously confronted the three Celestial Royals remained empty. However, panic filled the air. Two bodies lay motionless on the ground. Although there were no visible wounds, the bodies were utterly still."Mom! What happened?"Cordelia pointed toward the only man still standing in the middle of the clearing. His lower body had been blasted apart. However, fresh flesh was already regenerating at an eerily incredible speed. At this rate, he'd be fully healed in less than five seconds."We're not sure. He suddenly attacked the two people lying on the ground. No one saw exactly how it happened, and then it turned into this mess."From what Cordelia explained, the man had erupted in violence without warning. The relatives of the deceased had immediately retaliated, unleashing a furious assault. They managed to destroy most of his body. However, he wouldn't die. His flesh kept regrowing, which was a
