Chapter 565

Author: Dreamy Fire
"Mr. Rothwell?" Drake felt his soul leave his body, his mind grinding to a halt.

The man before him was none other than Caleb Rothwell, the president of Titan Holdings. He was a titan of power capable of influencing every major conglomerate in Azuria. His fearsome reputation was something only a citizen of Azuria could truly comprehend.

Even if Drake had a thousand lifetimes' worth of courage, he would never dare to cross someone like Caleb.

"Mr. Zeller, I deeply apologize for this unexpected situation. Rest assured. I will handle this matter to your satisfaction!"

Ignoring Drake completely, Caleb strode briskly to Felix and bowed in respect.

"Mr. Rothwell, you're too polite. Just handle it as you see fit," Felix replied casually.

Meanwhile, Drake was dragged out of the room by Gavin, a dumb grin plastered on his face.

He wasn't even aware of what was happening. His perception of reality had been completely shattered. Felix, a mere youth from Dragonia, not only knew the mighty

    "Jenna, they're almost here. Dad just called me. This time, they'll definitely cure you," Elijah reassured.Jenna Carter was unlike many women in Azuria—completely natural and without any trace of high-tech modifications. However, anyone could see she was in poor spirits.It was understandable. Marrying into such a wealthy family was already a challenge. She was already grateful Elijah Rothwell loved her deeply, but failing to conceive a child? She couldn't imagine how many whispers and pointed fingers were directed at her behind her back. The weight of that alone was more than enough to crush her."Okay, darling. I'll do everything I can. For you, I'll endure any hardship," Jenna said with determination.A short while later, Felix and his team arrived. Everyone had gathered outside, ready to greet them."Mr. Zeller, if I may ask, my daughter-in-law, Jenna, has always looked unwell. Could there be another issue? Could you please take a look as well?" Caleb Rothwell inquired.Fe

    This was Felix's suggestion, and Caleb naturally complied. Deep down, he was already uneasy. Everything was happening too fast—so fast it was almost unbelievable."To be honest with you, Mr. Zeller. Jenna has undergone numerous tests, but nothing abnormal has been found." Garrett spoke up, giving a subtle reminder that Felix recognized as well-intentioned."I wasn't finished. Just call your medical team over to confirm if she's pregnant through a blood test," Felix said.Everyone was stunned. Even Jenna, who had just stepped out of the bedroom, stood frozen in shock."Felix Zeller! What are you implying? How dare you make such malicious accusations against my sister-in-law? If she could get pregnant, why would we need you here?" Adrian seized the opportunity, rising to fan the flames of discord.Before anyone could react, Caleb struck Adrian across the face with a harsh slap, his gaze sharp and piercing."Get out! If you can't keep your mouth shut, don't speak at all," Caleb comm

    Caleb didn't even wait for the blood test results to come back before having Elijah and Jenna kneel in gratitude to Felix. This gesture was a clear statement of his trust and respect—it was no wonder he had become one of the most powerful magnates in Azuria.Once Elijah and Jenna stood up, Caleb announced with a wide grin, "Spread the word—every employee under Titan Holdings will receive double their performance bonus this month!""Yes, sir!"When a family patriarch like Caleb was in high spirits, he could afford to be extravagantly generous, easily flaunting his wealth.The entire Rothwell family was swept into a wave of joy as soon as the blood test results confirmed everything Felix had said. Whether Caleb's two daughters and sons-in-law shared the same enthusiasm was irrelevant to Felix—it wasn't his concern.That evening, Caleb, still deeply moved, asked, "Mr. Zeller, are you sure you don't want any money?"He had prepared billions as a token of gratitude, only for Felix to

    "We're here. The person is inside," the woman said, gesturing toward a small wooden cabin as they emerged from the forest.Felix nodded. "Alright."Although Felix spoke calmly, he immediately extended his senses toward the cabin, scanning its interior. A moment later, he realized it was completely empty.Almost simultaneously, a powerful gust of wind surged toward him. Felix's instincts kicked in, and he swiftly leaped back, his body retreating at lightning speed.But the danger wasn't over. Another ambush came from behind, forcing him to spin around and unleash a strike.The ground beneath him shattered with a boom, and Felix was pushed back several dozen yards before stopping at the cabin's doorway."After the Dexter Grimshaw incident, our Elders' Council has started taking you seriously. We even sent the two of us, but it seems we still underestimated you!"The speaker was a middle-aged man who stood beside the woman who had guided Felix here. Her face now twisted into a sini

    The two pursuers were utterly baffled—Felix's speed far surpassed theirs."It must be some sort of forbidden technique. Don't worry. This is an island; at best, he'll head for the sea. With our superior cultivation level and spiritual energy, we can outlast him. Techniques like that can't last forever," the man said.As they spoke, they both broke into confident smiles. In their minds, Felix was like cooked meat on a platter—there was no escape for him. Even though he was already over the sea, as long as he remained within their sensory range, catching him was just a matter of time. After all, their strength was undeniable."Darling, what's that?"Suddenly, the woman froze in place, pointing skyward. Her husband followed her gaze, his face turning pale as he saw the massive object streaking through the sky with a fiery tail."A missile?"Those were the last words he uttered. What followed was sheer terror.Explosions erupted as Felix dived into the sea just in time."Damn! Th

    Felix's expression was devoid of emotion. "Nala? What does her situation have to do with me?"On the other end of the call, Yvonne was already sobbing. "I'm sorry, Felix! Please, I'm begging you to save Lady Nala. She's abroad and can't handle this on her own. I'm begging you!"But Felix remained indifferent. "I refuse. Yvonne, don't forget—it was that woman who first took away your happiness and then sent you to your death. Is she really worth it?""She is! Without Lady Nala, there wouldn't be me! Fine, I get it. Just help her this once, and I promise to leave Caraville immediately. I won't bother you again, ever."Felix sighed. He knew agreeing now would break Yvonne's heart. But he had no choice—Madam Spring's artifact posed a deadly risk to him. He could only act harshly to completely sever Yvonne's hope. Over time, she would heal and eventually find her own happiness."Fine, I'll go check the situation. But if it's too much, don't blame me for walking away."Time passed, and

    "What brings you to Azuria?" Nala asked.Even though Felix remained silent, Nala kept talking tirelessly, almost as if she were speaking to herself. Her demeanor was entirely different from the impression she had given before—she was practically unrecognizable."Are you truly not considering returning to the Greene family? You can't begin to imagine the power they hold in Dragonia. "With your background, if you went back now, the Greene family would undoubtedly welcome you. With their formidable support, your future path would be incredibly smooth. Trust me," Nala said.At that moment, footsteps finally echoed from outside. Felix silently thanked the heavens—if they hadn't come, he might've been tempted to plug his ears."Who dares to hit my men?"A middle-aged man strode in, flanked by seven bodyguards dressed in black. Hands in his pocket, his swagger was practically oozing arrogance."I did," Felix said.Julian Hale let out a derisive snort, his face full of disdain."Do y

    "Bones?" Felix frowned, sensing there was more to those words than met the eye. "What does that mean?"Nala looked surprised. The Greene family had sought her out, instructing her to pass along this exact message. If Felix ignored it, she was simply to repeat the same words.She hadn't expected it to actually catch his interest, making the whole situation even stranger."I don't know what it means. Your father, Victor, asked me to tell you," Nala said.Felix studied Nala for a moment before walking away, leaving behind a single comment. "If I figure it out, I'll contact you."As his car headed toward the airport, Felix remained deep in thought. Bones? Did his biological father know something?After all, how could anyone expect him to remember his childhood fascinations? On the surface, the phrase seemed meaningless, like idle chatter. But when "bones" were involved, the implications changed entirely.While mulling it over, his phone buzzed with an incoming call from an unfamil

    Delilah said, "Your words have brought back memories. That old man is cunning and sly. While I don't consider him a real threat, removing him won't be a simple task. "He comes from the royal lineage and holds a high position as the general of the city's defense forces. His demise would not go unnoticed by the royal family." Felix was smart, but Delilah's tone hinted that there was more to the story. It seemed like she still had some limitations in Martial City, and there were certain individuals she couldn't risk angering."But don't worry," Delilah reassured. "I can easily transfer him out of North City to ensure your safety while you’re here." With that taken care of, Delilah got down to business. "I've already submitted your application for the Intermediate Alchemy Assessment. It will take place in five days at Harmony Clinic's headquarters. Unfortunately, I won't be able to accompany you. I made a promise to an old friend to refine some pills for him. Your presence has cau

    Jeremy was known for his ruthless nature. With a flick of his hand, he sent an invisible force toward Mindy. She had no time to even scream before she collapsed in a pool of blood, her final sound unheard. Despite murdering his own family member, Jeremy acted as though it were no big deal and even managed to force a smile. "You can make one more request," he offered casually. Once again, Felix was reminded of the heartlessness of the inhabitants of Martial City. It was a place where strength equaled power. "Release Laura. From now on, she has no relation with the Larsson family."Jeremy waved his right hand again, and the ropes binding Laura snapped. She landed safely beside Felix. "Let's go," Felix said. With a deep exhale, Jeremy finally relaxed, only to come face-to-face with Jared. "Jeremy, I believe I'm owed an explanation, don't you think?" Jeremy narrowed his eyes at Jared. If this guy weren't the son of a high-ranking general in the city defense forces, he would ha

    At that moment, Felix became aware of Jared's presence and realized the situation. Jared rose from his seat as well. "Felix, I had a feeling you'd show up to rescue Laura. "That's why I informed the head of the Larsson family beforehand, anticipating your attempt to deceive them by posing as Madam Goddard's disciple."Laura, who was in the process of getting hung, desperately wanted to say something. However, she had been silenced and could not utter a single word. The look in her eyes displayed a silent plea for Felix to leave as soon as possible and not to worry about her. If they both stayed, they would never be able to escape. However, Felix ignored her and remarked coldly, "So, you don't believe me?"Jeremy's eyes narrowed as if he were staring at something beneath him. "So today you're Madam Goddard's disciple," he scoffed. "What about tomorrow? Will another kid come along and claim to be Mr. Earnhart's disciple? And what about the day after that? It's absurd, and here

    The locations of Harmony Clinic and the Larsson residence were in completely opposite directions. Jared speculated that at Felix's speed, there was no way he could make it to both places in time to save Laura. So, once Felix made his move, he was certain to go to the Larsson residence. To guarantee the success of this plan, Jared threatened one of Andrew's subordinates with life or death, forcing them to block all signals in the area surrounding Harmony Clinic.After all, Andrew held a high-ranking position in the city defense forces and had the power to make this happen. In Martial City, one of the four major cities under the rule of the royal family alongside Imperial City, various families held power and influence. However, they are all subordinate to the royal family, and their city defense forces are under their command.As time went by, in a courtyard belonging to the Larsson family in North City, Laura hung from a rope. Though she didn't show any visible signs of physical

    It was clear to Felix that Laura was struggling to live within the Larsson family. Despite not sharing her troubles with him, he could sense her discomfort from the get-go. It was telling that she didn't even have skilled bodyguards by her side, especially considering the size and influence of the Larsson family in North City. It was unthinkable for them not to provide proper protection for their direct kin.Mindy said, "I am here to inform you that Laura has been confined to the water dungeon due to her involvement in an inappropriate relationship with a member of our household staff. She will face execution in 30 minutes. "If you have already had any relations with her, consider yourself fortunate. It is acknowledged that she possesses considerable physical attractiveness. However, if not, then it is indeed unfortunate for you."Mindy left without saying another word. Felix's expression became stern and disapproving. It was absurd to accuse Laura of having an affair with a me

    Bern stood up and pointed a trembling finger at Felix. "No one stop me! I'm going to beat this little show-off into a pulp right now!"However, no one even attempted to stop him! Delilah was laughing wholeheartedly, and Natalie was dumbfounded.This was Felix's first time refining an intermediate pill; he not only succeeded in three attempts but also made six pills? It was so terrifying that it was hard to describe. Yet, throughout all this, he was more worried about the outcome."Sit down, Bernie! You know nothing at all! My disciple has high ambitions. And here I thought he was as easily satisfied as you!"Delilah's eyes sparkled with joy. This was indeed her beloved disciple. She was also surprised by the success rate of his first intermediate refinement."Felix, making six pills on your first try has already broken the record of the alchemists of Martial City! If you don't believe me, you can ask old Bernie here how many pills he had made on his first try."Bern calmed down,

    "You truly hit the nail on the coffin, girl! Felix is a perfect match for you. If he doesn't get the Ice Dragon furnace, who else would?" Delilah exclaimed.Huh? A couple? Natalie's expression quickly changed. Her? Coupled with that pervert? That was absolutely impossible!"Alright, alright, Nattie. Since Delilah is asking for it for once, I cannot refuse. As for whether you get with him or not, that's for you youngins to decide. We won't care about the matchmaking," Bern said with a chuckle.Immediately, a silver-white furnace appeared. There were two dragons carved on each side—a total of four dragons. On the silver surface of the furnace, the dragons truly looked like they were real. "I've lifted the restrictions on it. Now, let's allow Felix to try." The smile on Delilah's face grew even wider. "Ah, you old man, you're still so kind. Let's wait until he comes out before letting him try it. He's refining the Breath Concealment pill currently."Bern nodded. "Alright. Then let

    In the end, Delilah still chose not to hold a ceremony to accept him as a disciple. She knew that Felix was still harboring a secret, and although they were mentor-mentees, they still respected each other.She was very happy that they could acknowledge each other as mentor-mentees in public without having to hide it anymore. Soon, Felix went to the secret room in Harmony Clinic to try the intermediate refinement process for the first time. Meanwhile, Atlas had already contacted an elder of the family."Herbert, I just received news from the spy at Harmony Clinic. Felix Zeller had just been accepted as Delilah's disciple!"On the other end, Herbert wondered for a long time before replying, "This complicates things. If he was merely a genius at Harmony Clinic, your earlier assumptions would've been right. "But since Felix was accepted as Delilah's disciple, this is a little difficult to deal with! I can't guarantee anything—but two things are certain. First, Harmony Clinic will st

    "Impressive! No wonder you're someone who practices Dragons Destroyer. If your family hadn't practiced it before, I would've been shocked by your terrifying martial arts talent. Haha! "This is just another benefit of having the true Dragonspine. Otherwise, how could you reach the Physical Refinement Realm so fast?" Atlas laughed.Felix shook his head again. "Is it necessary to say such things to comfort yourself? I can practice the Dragons Destroyer. I think that speaks for itself."Atlas's smile immediately vanished with those words. "Well, whether you want to or not, you'll come with me today! A mere Physical Refinement Realm martial artist means nothing to me!" "Alright, then let's see if you're able to make me go with you," Felix said as he stood up. The shutter door was pulled aside just as they were about to fight. "Two grown men with the door closed in broad daylight? What are you two doing in here?"Atlas turned around fiercely and was about to angrily spit out the wor
