Chapter 57

Author: Dreamy Fire
Felix had already changed into his pajamas and finished washing up. He was now preparing for bed.

However, just then, the doorbell rang. He was puzzled.

Who could be visiting at this late hour?

His expression was strange as he saw Xena on the video monitor.

"Do you have something else to discuss?" he said.

Seeing that Felix was outside but hadn't opened the gate, Xena felt a surge of irritation. However, remembering her inner suspicions, she held back her frustration.

"Although it's a bit late and my visit is somewhat inappropriate, is this how you welcome your guests?" she snapped.

Felix opened the gate and turned to walk away.

"Come in," he said.

Xena was even more annoyed by his attitude.

After all, she was the first goddess of war in Dragonia—beautiful and talented, the dream woman of countless men.

Yet, every time she encountered Felix, it felt as though he had a way of filtering out her extraordinary beauty as if he simply couldn't see it.

    At 10:00 am, Sasha entered a café in Avesburgh."Good morning, Mr. Glover," she greeted.The one who had called her out was Ted. His stature was far beyond her reach, and she had heard he had a terrifying background. Even Hugo would respectfully address him as Mr. Glover.When she received the call last night, she was puzzled. No matter how hard she thought about it, she couldn't figure out what she had done to warrant a meeting with Ted."Have a seat," Ted said with a smile. "I looked around and found out that you know Felix. Your relationship with him is not ordinary." Instantly, Sasha stood up again, her expression in complete disarray."Mr. Glover, let me explain. While I do know Felix, I dislike him. I would not be in touch with him if it weren't for my dad. So, whatever trouble he's caused has nothing to do with me or my family," she clarified.In her view, Felix, the big fraud, had somehow gotten on Ted's bad side. It took guts to mess with someone of his stature. "Y

    "Change?" The sales associate was taken aback by the request. She knew the customer was always right, but she seemed to have a bit of a temper and dared to question him."Why?" Felix frowned even deeper. "Looks like the favors from back then have gone to waste. It's only been three years, and you don't recognize your cousin. Sabrina, you haven't changed at all."Indeed, the woman before him, with her stunning figure, was Felix's cousin, Sabrina Zeller, the daughter of his fifth uncle. When Sabrina heard this, her eyes widened as she took a closer look at Felix, finally recalling something. "Oh, my God! Is that you, Felix? I can't believe you're still alive!" This instinctive reaction revealed the nature of their relationship. "I don't want to waste time talking with you. Get me another sales associate. You wouldn't want me to file a complaint, would you?" Whether from his father's side or his mother's, those relatives were all ungrateful ingrates. When Felix's father

    As Nina prepared the sales agreement, Felix waited in the lobby.Milo entered the car dealership and headed straight for Sabrina."Sabrina, let's have lunch together. I was taking care of some business around this area and thought of you, but you didn't answer my calls at all," Milo said.Sabrina sneered. She usually had men interested in her wrapped around her finger, and Milo was one of them. After he bought a Range Rover last time, he had been pestering her relentlessly."Oh, Mr. Quinton, I'm at work. How could I have time to answer the phone?" Sabrina replied.After saying that, Sabrina suddenly thought of something and looked on the verge of tears, which Milo noticed."What's wrong? Who's bullied you?" he asked.Sabrina forced out a tear. "I'm... I'm fine!" she said.This was the perfect opportunity for Milo to impress the woman he loved. "Tell me! Damn it! Who dares to bully you? I'll stand up for you," he bellowed."Mr. Quinton, you're so good. I feel so safe with y

    Nina was equally stunned. When she'd been preparing the agreement earlier, Jim had approached her. Once the agreement was ready, he followed her as she brought the document to Felix.She didn't expect to see him bow and scrape before Felix, even offering to give him the car for free. It was a top-of-the-range Range Rover worth 400 thousand dollars!"No, it's fine," Felix said.Jim seemed to expect Felix to turn him down. He lowered his head respectfully again. "Understood, Mr. Zeller. Once again, allow me to thank you for patronizing our store."He turned and pulled Nina aside. "Remember to satisfy whatever requirements Mr. Zeller has. You don't need to ask me for permission.""Yes, sir!" Nina said.Jim walked off, sighing in relief. Only then did he realize his forehead was covered in sweat. It was his first time dealing with a customer of such wealth and status, after all. How could he not be nervous?Felix had used Concord Bank's Diamond Card to pay for the car. "Wealthy" cou

    Sabrina knew she'd guessed correctly when she heard Milo's words. He did indeed know Felix. She said, "That doesn't matter. Since you know Felix, tell me what he's doing now. How can he afford to buy such an expensive car?"Now that his doubts had been cleared, Milo returned to being disdainful. "What? Do you think he's someone important? Well, you're wrong. Here's the truth."He told her what Sasha had said and spread his hands. "All I can say is Uncle Warren dotes on Felix too much. You have no idea how pissed Sasha was! The money would've been hers in the future, after all."So, that was it. Sabrina relaxed and even patted her chest dramatically, which made Milo stare. He couldn't help it—she was just too well-endowed."Ultimately, he's still the same worthless loser I know him to be. To think I thought he'd made it big! It's disgusting that he's using his father's friendship with your uncle to scam your uncle out of his money," Sabrina said.…Felix left in his brand-new Rang

    At the infirmary of the Phoenix Legion's base in Avesburgh, Jordan retrieved the silver needles administered to one of the patients. "Alright. You'll make a full recovery after resting for about a week."There were a few people in white doctor's coats standing nearby. They were doctors based at the Phoenix Legion's base and were a combination of traditional and modern medicine practitioners.They had to be of a certain standard to be a part of the Phoenix Legion, but at that moment, they couldn't help clapping their hands agitatedly."As expected of Dr. Cane's apprentice! You're amazing!""To think you're already so accomplished at such a young age. It'll only be a matter of time before you become one of the nation's best doctors!"Jordan was long used to hearing flattery like this. After all, he was one of the best doctors among the younger generation. At least he hadn't shamed Wesley."Thanks for this, Joe. Things had happened so suddenly that my soldier would've been permanent

    Belle said, "This is Inferno we're talking about, ma'am. If the headquarters has sent an Asura over to help, it's clear that Inferno is much scarier than Nocturno. You…"Xena held up a hand, her expression grim. "Don't say such pessimistic things! I didn't get to where I am today by pulling funny tricks and hiding from danger. We'll immediately start setting up our defenses when the Asura gets here. Inferno might show up at any moment.""Yes, ma'am!" Then, Belle thought of something. "Milady, we'll be using the villa at Tabiner Bay as our defense base, and Felix is the owner. What should we…"A trace of disdain flitted past Xena's face. "All irrelevant people have to be cleared out when the Phoenix Legion is conducting its business. So what if it's Felix? Issue him a notice—that's good enough!"…Felix received another call from Sasha that evening. "Come to Club Neuf. I've arrived earlier because I have something to do, so someone else will meet you at the entrance. I want you out

    Sasha looked like the promiscuous type, but she knew just where to draw the line. She knew it was important to remain chaste until marriage, so she'd never crossed the line. Even when dating playboys, she hadn't gone to fourth base with them. She would never have allowed them to take her away.And so, Saul's sudden attack had scared her. If Ted had made it clear that this was the price she had to pay to take Felix down, she would never have agreed to it."Let me go! Help!" she screamed.At the same time, Felix arrived at the private room that Sasha had told him about. He ignored the two bodyguards standing outside and looked at Ted. The latter pretended to be surprised. "What are you doing here, Felix?"In truth, he was delighted. Everything was going according to plan."Fuck off!" Felix wasn't interested in knowing what Ted was up to. The fact that he could still walk around like a normal person was only because he was Xena's relative."What makes you think you can act so obnoxi

    Felix took out a memorial coin and lit it on fire before playing the harmonica again.As the memorial coin began to burn, Helena's expression twisted in pain. "Impossible!"Her body shook uncontrollably. "Stop! Felix, you love me, right? Please, stop! I'm begging you."But there was no way Felix would stop. It was clear that Helena was far more formidable than the man from Seapoint.Finally, as the memorial coin burned to ashes, Helena fell to the ground unconscious. Felix swiftly loaded Helena into the car. After nodding to Wayne and Reagan, he drove off in the opposite direction.The car was headed toward a coastal area that would take about four hours to reach. Luna had arranged a smuggler's boat there, and everything was prepared.When Helena woke up, the first thing she saw was Felix sitting a short distance away, and she felt the unmistakable rocking motion of a boat on the sea. "Where are we?""On a ship bound for Dragonia," Felix replied cautiously.Helena smiled bitter

    Elliott covered the microphone and turned to Felix. "There's a problem. Who is the woman you wish to abduct? Mr. Robins just told me that a high-ranking member of the Westerio Order approached one of ours and demanded a woman named Helena be safely escorted into the city once this was over.""What?" Felix's expression fell. If that was true, his plan was ruined. Waiting for another chance could take forever. "Is there no way to resolve this?"Elliott pondered for a moment before his eyes lit up. "Let's put it this way. Mr. Robins has a lot of influence. There won't be a problem if he crosses the senators. You've met him before. He's the one deeply knowledgeable about Dragonia's culture. However..."Elliott trailed off. But Felix caught on—everything came with a price."Tell Mr. Robins he can find me in Dragonia if he needs anything, or I can come to him." Felix sighed.Elliott nodded and relayed the message. Shortly after, he hung up the call. "He agreed. It's mainly because you

    Impressed by Jesse's loyalty, Helena teased, "How many Scarlet Cardinals can you gather on such short notice?"Jesse fell silent, realizing the impracticality of the suggestion. The 12-mile perimeter in the desert was too vast. It would require over 20 Scarlet Cardinals for complete coverage, and there were not even that many in all of Guneria.Helene continued confidently, "Don't bother. No one who could overpower me exists yet, so let's not make a big deal of this. Neither Reagan nor that facility would have such a person." She had completely dismissed Felix as just an ordinary person, thanks to his masterful use of the Nightshade Discipline technique borrowed from Darren. With Felix's skill level, using it perfectly masked his martial artist aura, making him seem utterly unremarkable.…As they approached the facility, Felix felt elated when he noticed all traces of the powerful guards had vanished. Elliott was telling the truth—the Westerio Order really would not dare come ne

    Was Reagan really coming? Of course, he was—it was all part of Felix's plan since Reagan was now under his control. Felix had maintained this elaborate charade in case his first attempt to capture Helena failed, knowing he might need to try again.He had privately contacted Elliott without revealing the true nature of his mission, only mentioning his desire to take someone from Dragonia. Given Helena's appearance, her citizenship papers were likely forged anyway. Elliott agreed to help immediately, knowing that even foreigners sometimes got sick. Felix's extraordinary medical skills made the decision easy, as he could be their last hope when modern medicine failed. The plan centered around the desert biochemical research facility where Felix had previously been held captive. According to Elliott, this facility was one of Guneria's highest-priority projects, and its perimeter was surrounded by a strict 12-mile no-entry zone. While they did not have extraordinary fighters, they po

    "So, how would you like to discuss this? Perhaps like this?" Helena purred as she placed her index finger on Felix's forehead.Felix immediately felt his Dragonspine trembling, responding to whatever trick she was pulling. He struggled internally, unsure how to react to Helena's technique since he needed to fake his response.Deciding to maintain his lustful persona, Felix widened his eyes and feigned an expression of ecstasy while muttering suggestive nonsense. From the corner of his eye, he noticed Helena returning to her seat, clearly satisfied with the effect of her power. She said, "I didn't want to use my abilities on you, but you were too eager. No one tries to seduce someone on their first meeting, though this works out well—now you won't be able to stay away from me."Felix's overeagerness actually matched his supposed identity perfectly. As Reagan's illegitimate son, why would he need to think twice about anything in Astoria? Getting whatever he wanted would be natural f

    As the sun began to set, Helena sat in a private room of the Drapetown restaurant, listening to her subordinate's report."Ms. Mooney, we've uncovered his background! Felix is quite something—he's connected to the Starfires in Astoria, supposedly the beloved grandson of one of Kyro's old friends. However, our Westerio Order's investigation suggests there's more—he's likely the Shadowstalker Emperor's illegitimate son."Helena's eyes sparkled with interest as she laughed. "The Shadowstalker Emperor's son? Well, that explains everything. With Reagan's status in Astoria, it makes sense for the Starfires to step in as a cover to avoid scandal." Her subordinate nodded in agreement. "This guy seems to be quite carefree and privileged, and his features suggest mixed heritage—likely between the Shadowstalker Emperor and someone from Dragonia."Apparently, he got bored in Astoria and decided to find the best Dragonian cuisine to franchise worldwide. Money really does allow for such whims.

    After finishing his business, Felix decided not to let Louise return home just yet. A True Blood Realm fighter could still be quite useful, especially since Felix was about to embark on a critical mission. It was better to make some extra preparations rather than risk anything going wrong.The next day, around noon, Felix visited a restaurant in Drapetown. After ordering several dishes, he made an unexpected request to the server. "Could I speak with your owner? I'm interested in buying this restaurant—money is not an issue," Felix said.The server responded politely, "I apologize, sir, but our owner has made it clear that the restaurant isn't for sale."As if anticipating this response, Felix gestured toward the packed dining room. "Is that so? Well, all these people are with me. Don't worry, they won't cause trouble, but I can't control how long they'll stay here to dine."It was only 11:00 am, typically a time when the restaurant would have just one or two tables occupied.

    Felix moved with lightning speed, his overwhelming presence leaving the two martial artists unable to even resist. "Enough talking! Submit, or die!" Felix demanded, his tone icy and commanding.Since gaining the loyalty of Selmer, a Blood Realm major mastery warrior, Felix had prioritized subduing his enemies whenever possible. These two True Blood Realm masters presented an opportunity too valuable to waste. "I'll submit!" Louise, the elder working for the Greenes, responded immediately. As a hired hand with no true loyalty to the Greenes, his quick surrender was unsurprising.Felix turned to Skyward Guild's master, slowly raising his right hand. "I am a Guardian of the Skyward Guild, and you expect me to submit? If you dare kill me, the Skyward Guild won't—" Before he could finish, Felix struck him down. After that, he used the Soul Sealing Needle on Louise, successfully adding him to his ranks. Though he now commanded only Selmer and Louise, Felix believed his force woul

    The Greenes' involvement was no surprise after their previous confrontation, and, of course, they would not miss this opportunity abroad. Skyward Guild's presence also confirmed Felix's suspicions."Enough talk. I'm not exactly a fan of Guneria either, so let's not waste time," one of the elders said casually."Perfect, I couldn't agree more!" Felix's smile grew brighter as his aura surged, causing both men to look at him with surprise."Gage wasn't wrong at all—this young man has indeed reached True Blood Realm," one master remarked. Though they maintained their composure, they were shocked that someone so young had achieved their level. After all, it had taken them decades of training to reach it. The comparison was enough to make them choke on their frustration. Still, it did not matter much. There were two of them, both in the True Blood Realm, while Felix was alone. Two against one—the odds were solidly in their favor.Felix chuckled, cracking his knuckles. "You two old-ti
