Chapter 632

Author: Dreamy Fire
By the time Ronald snapped out of it, Felix and Nancy were already gone.

"Damn it! They're like the beauty and the beast. What a waste of my time!"

Ronald had completely lost interest in Nancy. He had two principles when it came to women: they either had to have both beauty and a great figure, or if they were slightly lacking, they had to be untouched.

Nancy wasn't stunning enough to truly captivate him, but she had kept herself well-guarded. Such a pity.

Inside the taxi, Nancy's heart was still racing wildly.

"Did that work?"

Nancy nodded. "Yes. I looked into Ronald's preferences. It should be fine now. I'm sorry for not giving you a heads-up earlier."

Felix sighed inwardly. In a situation like this, where the man clearly had the upper hand, Nancy was still apologizing.

"It's alright. It's fine as long as we avoided trouble this time."

There was one thing Nancy didn't say. That kiss had been her first. And to her surprise, she hadn't felt the slightest discomfort—in fact, she

    Felix's expression darkened as he looked at the three young men, their faces filled with contempt."Is this how the Ruby family treats their guests?"Reid, the so-called fourth brother, spoke again, his tone still arrogant, "How we treat guests in the Ruby family is none of your business. If you've got the skills, prove it and make us step aside willingly instead of running your mouth."Felix sneered and turned to Rosalyn. "Your fourth brother, is it? Either he apologizes to me, or I leave right now. Did he think just any Tom, Dick, or Harry has the right to question me?"Rosalyn panicked. She hadn't expected things to escalate like this. "Mr. Zeller, please wait!"But Felix's remark completely enraged Reid."Hah! Talking big on the Ruby family's turf? You want an apology? Fine! I'll give you a chance. Apologize to me now, or you won't make it out of this house."No elder had stepped in so far, which clearly indicated that these three had been given permission to act as they ple

    Rosalyn hesitated briefly before continuing to argue her case. "Of course he's the real deal! Dr. Cane's diagnosis perfectly matched Mr. Zeller's. What more proof do you need? Even Dr. Cane admitted he couldn't treat me. Why don't you believe me?"It was clear that Richard was aware of Reid's actions. This realization left Rosalyn deeply disappointed."Enough! Can't you see your Augustus' car has arrived? Step aside!"Rosalyn nearly burst into tears. She had always felt unappreciated by Richard, but it was blatantly obvious that day.Just because she was a woman and unqualified to inherit the patriarch's position, does that make being doted on by Rowan a crime?Not far away, Reid sneered. "What a fool! Complaining to Dad? Whether Felix is real or fake, no one can treat your illness now that he has left. If you die, Grandfather's affection for you will fade over time."At that moment, a Rolls-Royce pulled up, and Augustus stepped out with Axel. Richard immediately went to greet

    "Greetings, Mr. Ruby Senior!"It wasn't until those words were spoken that the Ruby family members came back to their senses and greeted Rowan. No one had expected him to appear in such a dramatic way.They understood the reasoning behind his actions, though. After all, if even Augustus could openly apologize to Felix, it was clear that Felix held an extraordinary status. Whether or not the Ruby family feared him was secondary, but they certainly didn't want to create a mysterious and powerful enemy unnecessarily."I've seen enough of the Ruby family's hospitality. It's not necessary to keep this up," Felix said coldly.He sneered inwardly. Rowan clearly knew exactly what was happening. While he might not have orchestrated the events in the hall, there was no way he was unaware of them. If not for the Crayden family's appearance, this situation wouldn't have unfolded like this.A dull thud echoed as Reid was about to apologize. He then rolled his eyes and collapsed to the floor.

    Though Rowan and Richard were conversing telepathically, the elder still shook his head."Yes. There's no information on it. The so-called enhancement effects were discovered through generations of personal trials by our ancestors. Who would have thought it would result in this situation with Rosalyn? "But perhaps it's for the best. If this continued, wouldn't it have led to endless problems down the line?The bone was a family heirloom. So, they naturally treated it with great care. That was why they had invited Wesley to confirm its properties and set up multiple safeguards to prevent Felix from potentially claiming it under the guise of treatment.The key lay in Felix's intentions. If he wasn't trying to deceive them and the bone truly was responsible for Rosalyn's condition, then it had to be dealt with. Otherwise, who knew how many future descendants would suffer because of it?An heirloom it might be, but its true worth depended on whether it brought benefit or harm.…Tw

    "Grandfather! You must go. It's Mason Jacobs!"Rosalyn was frantic. The current most famous figure among the Eight Great Martial Families was undoubtedly Mason of the Jacobs family.The Ruby family had been pushed to the second spot because of him. And just yesterday, news spread that Mason had broken through to Innate Realm and entered Aetherial Realm.Considering his age and rapid advancement, his achievements were truly unprecedented and unmatched."What nonsense! He's just a junior. Do you think I need to get involved? It's merely a traffic accident. Go back inside."Despite his dismissive words, Rosalyn acted decisively. "I have to go. Felix was riding in our family's car. Mason isn't blind. There's no way I'm letting Felix get dragged into this mess because of him."…Meanwhile, at an intersection not far from Ruby Manor, Felix had already stepped out of the car. It was, in fact, a simple traffic accident, with clear fault on the other party.Felix's car had been turning

    Half an hour later, Felix arrived at a nearby upscale mall.Malls like this were abundant in Aleshire, but he had specifically chosen this one because he had learned in advance about a shop selling high-quality, locally made scarves. Since he was picking out a gift, he wanted something with a regional flair. A luxury handbag, while expensive, lacked creativity—it could be bought anywhere as long as one had the money.While waiting for the elevator, a sudden scream startled everyone."Ah! Where did this little beggar come from? My dress!"Everyone turned to see a distressed woman glaring at her dress. Nearby stood a six-year-old girl. Her clothes were tattered and dirty, and her face was smudged with grime."Miss, don't you recognize me?"The little girl reached out toward the woman again. Furious, the woman recoiled, clearly unwilling to let her pristine white dress accumulate more smudges. She raised her hand and slapped the child. "Get lost! Where's security?"Felix interv

    Felix extended his perception for a while but found no suspicious movements or individuals. He had no choice but to give up. Perhaps, as the two bystanders had mentioned, this notorious thief had already moved on to another location.Given that this mall had already been hit, it was likely the thief had left.Still, Felix couldn't shake one big question. Why did they target phones? For someone capable of stealing from someone as skilled as himself, they could undoubtedly pull off far bigger heists. Why did they go through the trouble for something so minor?Unable to make sense of it, Felix decided not to dwell further. He headed to the top floor and immediately spotted the scarf shop he had come for. However, the sign at the entrance stood out more than anything else."Members only. Non-members, please do not enter".That one sentence alone showcased the shop's trust and exclusivity. Inside, the store was much larger than it appeared from the outside, with over a dozen sales coun

    "Hah! What a disgrace to men. I can't imagine what Nancy was thinking, getting involved with trash like you," Ronald sneered.Bertha felt vindicated, knowing she would soon have her revenge. Ronald Sullivan wasn't just anyone—he was a second-generation elite in Aleshire who was wealthy and well-connected. On top of that, she had shared a bed with him a few times, giving her some leverage in their relationship."Mr. Sullivan is one of our highest-tier Platinum members. He could slap dozens of people like you to death with a single hand."Ronald's sudden appearance was unexpected, but Felix had no interest in wasting his time on this group of clowns. There were plenty of scarf shops in Aleshire—this one wasn't unique."If I want to leave, who can stop me?"Ronald stepped aside, but his two bodyguards moved in to block Felix. Just as they reached for him, their bodies trembled simultaneously, and they stepped back, backing away."Useless!" Ronald snapped, his face darkening. These

    "Mr. Hoffman?" Felix muttered. No wonder Delilah had shown up in person."Why didn't Mr. Hoffman just call me?" he asked.Delilah shrugged, raising both hands. "Because it's not convenient. If you make one choice, I can report back and be done with it, saving everyone the time."Felix nodded, finally curious about this big choice. Then, Delilah asked, "Zara, the one with Twinshade Body, came to see you, didn't she?"That caught Felix off guard. "How do you know about that?"Delilah rolled her eyes with a little smirk. If one of her fans saw her like this, they would probably faint from the shock.She explained, "It's not like I'm psychic. Mr. Hoffman told me. Ever since you left Martial City and came back, he's had Ophelia keeping an eye on Zara the whole time, so of course he knows."Ophelia? That explained why he had not seen her around since coming back. "So, what's the choice Mr. Hoffman wants me to make? Is it really about Zara?"Delilah nodded firmly. "Exactly. Mr. Hoff

    Donna said, "Felix, Specter's the kind of guy who'll stop at nothing. I'll hold back and observe for now, but if you really prove you've got what it takes, I'll act like I never even saw that woman."…Later, Zara was resting her chin in both palms with a sweet, innocent smile on her face. She hummed, "Mhm!"Felix let out a groan and rubbed his face. "Don't just say 'mhm'! Did you even understand what I just told you?"After piecing together everything Donna had said, Felix laid it all out for Zara. Since Specter could strike at any time and Zara still did not know what Malevolent Phantoms even were, he figured she needed to hear it all."Of course I understood. Relax, honey. I'm not stupid," Zara replied casually. Since she got it, Felix finally let himself relax, too. A weight lifted off his chest, and for the first time in a while, he really looked at Zara's flawless face. He thought, "Yeah—there's no way I can hold back anymore."He said, "Let's take care of something… imp

    Felix finally snapped out of it. Just moments ago, Donna had looked so grim, claiming something big was about to happen. Yet now, after her whole speech, it was all about the benefits of Zara being a Hollow Soul.Donna said, "Hollow Soul has a unique trait. If consumed, it can greatly boost your chances of success.""Consumed?" That one word made Felix's face darken instantly. "Success in what exactly?"Donna had tried to be vague, but there was no way Felix did not get the implication. To put it bluntly, she was talking about eating Zara's soul."Whether you're stuck at a plateau in your cultivation, your soul is mutating, or you're trying to master powerful soul-based techniques—offensive or defensive—if it's soul-related, Hollow Soul can drastically increase your chances of success."Felix's expression shifted as something came rushing back to him. Billy had once told him that when the Mystical Explosive Orb absorbed enough soul essence to reach capacity, it could be used to re

    Donna added one more thing, her tone grave, "All of S-tier Malevolent Phantoms build our defenses entirely with soul energy. You've clashed with Specter twice now—you should know this already. "So, if your wife ever charged straight at one of us, those terrifying, nearly impenetrable defenses we rely on would shatter like cheap glass in front of her. Hollow Soul breaks right through."That was when it all finally clicked for Felix. Hollow Soul was not just rare—it was a natural-born nemesis to any soul cultivator. Anyone with even a hint of alternative strength could put up a fight, but for beings like Malevolent Phantoms, who relied purely on soul energy, the only real option was to run.Moreover, Zara was not just some non-combatant with a powerful trait. She was the real deal—peak of Grandmaster Realm. With that in mind, Specter's retreat made perfect sense.He asked, "She can't sense the Hollow Soul trait herself, right?"Donna nodded. "Yeah. Unless someone actually explains

    Felix urged, "What do you mean by that? Can you not talk in riddles right now?"He was practically squirming with anticipation. It was the first time he had ever seen Donna—an S-tier Malevolent Phantom—so hesitant to speak."Can I say this in front of her?" Donna asked, glancing toward Zara.Felix nodded without hesitation. If it were anyone else, maybe he would have kept them out of the conversation, but Zara was not like other people. Right now, the only thing that seemed to stir her emotions was Felix—absolutely nothing else.Seeing his response, Donna finally spoke up, "Hollow Soul can completely ignore all soul-based attacks, including soul-bound weapons.""What?" Felix stood frozen. He honestly was not sure he had heard her right. The possibility of something being immune to all soul-based attacks sounded ridiculous. And then, a memory flashed—Specter had tried to obliterate his soul, and the attack had clearly been launched. However, the moment Zara showed up, it all ju

    Donna said, "Alright. I agree to your terms. And don't worry—when Malevolent Phantoms give our word, we mean it. Specter showing up like that was a complete surprise to me, too. I never imagined he'd go that far off the rails."Seeing that Felix had finally cooled down, Donna spoke again, "Take out the Mystical Explosive Orb. The imprint Specter placed on it has a time limit. If you wait too long, it'll fade."Felix thought that made sense. If anyone could just take someone else's Mystical Explosive Orb and casually absorb their soul essence, the entire system would have collapsed a long time ago. With that in mind, he pulled out the orb and gripped it in his right hand. Donna leaned forward and tapped Specter's orb against it. In an instant, a surge of soul energy shot straight into Felix's soul. The rush was just as satisfying as killing a Malevolent Phantom directly, and the amount was no joke."I'll be heading out now," Donna said, turning to leave.Felix called after her, "W

    At the edge of Zuera, near the city border, Felix met with Donna. For now, he kept Zara in the car and did not ask her to step out.Felix teased, "I'm guessing S-tier Malevolent Phantoms like you are too proud to ever say 'sorry' to someone like me, huh?"Donna nodded. "This time, it was my mistake. I didn't expect Specter to be bold enough to pull something like that."To say Felix was not angry would have been a lie—he had nearly lost his life because of this. Of course, he had every right to be furious.He argued, "A mistake? Do you even realize that your so-called 'mistake' almost got my soul erased from existence? Then again, judging by how Specter behaved, "It's clear he wasn't interested in the Mystical Explosive Orb, which means you didn't lose a damn thing. You can just move on and pick your next partner like nothing happened."Donna knew she was in the wrong and did not try to reason.Felix continued, "I just don't get it! Zuera's S-tier Phantoms wouldn't let you in,

    Terrence's eyes were surprisingly clear as he gave Felix a faint smile. He said, "I'm a dead man anyway, so why worry about all that? Even if I hadn't told you, I doubt you would've fallen for the trick. I could tell from the way you fought—you're too sharp for that."He looked at Felix, his gaze distant with a hint of nostalgia. He added, "Felix, I believe you're one of the few who'll truly shake the world in the days to come. Let me go in peace. If you can, cremate me. I've never liked the idea of rotting underground."Felix pressed a finger to Terrence's forehead, and the latter closed his eyes.Felix still did not dare use soul search on any of Eight Guardians—mainly because of the Ancient Sage. Just thinking back to Bonnie was proof enough that the Ancient Sage's expertise in soul techniques ran deep. There was no saying what kind of protections or traps were in place, and one misstep could backfire in ways Felix could not afford. Besides, the Guardians were not going around

    Felix finally felt relaxed once they arrived in Zuera. For now, it looked like Specter was not coming back—at least not anytime soon. Still, he needed to check with Donna to know for sure.He said, "Zara, give me a minute."Right now, the priority was getting some answers out of Terrence. That mattered more than anything else. Otherwise, Felix would have already killed him instead of dragging him back here.In the hotel suite, Terrence lay half-dead on the bed, barely conscious. Yet, when Felix walked in, he actually smiled.He said calmly, "Getting killed by someone like you? Honestly, I've got no regrets. Ask whatever you want. I'll tell you what I can. But if it's something I'm not supposed to reveal, not even a soul search will get it out of me."Felix did not doubt that at all. After all, Eight Guardians served directly under the Ancient Sage—a figure whose power and methods were far beyond anything Felix could predict or afford to mess with. Especially since that exact figur
