Melissa's outfit at that moment was enough to make almost any man lose his composure.She wore a tight, white nurse's uniform that hugged every curve of her body. The top had only three buttons, barely containing what it needed to, and with her figure somewhere between a D and E cup, it created quite the spectacle. As for the skirt, it stopped just at the top of her thighs, paired with black stockings that did not leave much to the imagination—it was something straight out of a man's fantasy.Five minutes later, Melissa returned to the room with a breezy attitude."You men are so weird," she said, shaking her head. "That guy was sweating bullets from pain and still asked for my number!"Felix's expression darkened instantly. "Melissa, are you seriously planning to work in that?"She blinked in confusion and glanced down at herself, even spinning around for effect. "What's wrong? You're the doctor, and I'm the nurse. Isn't this what nurses wear?"Felix's eye twitched as he force
"This is so delicious! I'll have to ask Nelly for more," Felix said to himself as he finished the pasta.Shortly after, the doorbell rang— it was Queenie Larrington, his new neighbor from Villa No. 2. She stood there holding something rolled up.She explained, "I wasn't sure what to give a neighbor. I love painting, so I hope this is fine with you.""Thank you, that's very thoughtful of you," Felix replied.But Queenie did not stop there. She added hesitantly, "Could you take a look at it now? I'd love to hear your thoughts. I'm not a professional, but I really enjoy painting.""Of course," Felix agreed. He carefully unrolled the painting and was shocked to see the painting. He exclaimed, "This is incredible! How did you capture me so well after meeting just once?""So... it's good?" Queenie asked nervously."Beyond good. It's incredible! You've got some serious talent—you're definitely gifted."Queenie smiled at the compliment and left shortly after. Felix returned inside,
Silas's voice carried a mix of desperation and pleading, with an undercurrent of fear that Felix found unsettling. He was confused by the warning about Zara and asked, "Mr. Grayson, what do you mean? I don't understand.""Don't ask questions—just remember your promise. Ernest was there when you swore never to meet with Zara again. That debt has been paid. Can you give me your word?" Silas pressed urgently.Felix wondered if Zara had escaped as it seemed the only explanation. "I'll keep my promise. Even if she finds me here, I'll avoid her completely."After hearing that, Silas seemed to relax a little. "Good. I hope you'll remember what you said."Felix hung up the call, shaking his head. The dynamic between Silas and Zara was so strange, as though there was some massive secret neither of them could share.…Melissa had already opened up the clinic. She was wearing a modest dress that completely concealed her figure. She asked, "Is this outfit acceptable enough?"Felix gave her
From what Melissa had shared, it seemed that the moment Mason died, someone must have sensed it right away."I feel like you're talking but not really saying anything," Felix remarked, raising an eyebrow.Melissa grew a little flustered. "No, it's not that! It's just… I have this weird feeling. If Mason really did have an accident, it would explain why those rumors popped up out of nowhere. "Ugh, if something really happened to him, the Jacobs family would probably be so furious. Mason's the most talented person they've had in generations."Felix did not continue the discussion, as a middle-aged man walked into the clinic at that moment."Hello, how can we help you today?" Melissa asked politely.Having an attractive receptionist really did make customers more agreeable. "I've got some stomach pain," the man replied, rubbing his abdomen."Please, take a seat," Melissa said, motioning toward the chair.Felix walked over and pretended to take the man's pulse. After a moment, h
"Felix, come over here!" Clement called out excitedly when Felix stepped back into the room.Clement had every reason to feel overjoyed—Darcy was the apple of his eye, and since he and Willow could not have another child, it felt like the entire family narrowly escaped a brush with death today. Hence, to the couple, no amount of gratitude toward Felix could ever feel like enough, especially since they were hitting it off so well in conversation."Sorry, something urgent just came up. I need to step out for now," Felix said, his expression genuinely apologetic.Clement and Willow quickly got to their feet. Clement replied, "No problem. Take care of what you need to do. We'll catch up another time."Felix had no choice but to leave abruptly—he had just sensed a Dragonspine's energy, and nothing could take precedence over that. If he did not act immediately, it would slip out of his range of perception, and the chances of running into it again would be slim to none.After stepping
After a moment of silence, the first man in black rubbed his chin thoughtfully as he stared at the box. He said, "What you're saying might actually be true. "According to the notes our ancestor left behind, if this box is opened, whatever is inside will fly out on its own. Something that magical really could be what they're after.""No kidding!" the second man retorted, his voice laced with impatience. "Why else would we go through the trouble of using the old portrait instead of opening the box for a fresh picture? If the notes are right and it flies away, we'd be left with nothing but regrets."He licked his lips and added, "If this actually works out, it'll all be worth killing those six idiots in the family. That took some effort, didn't it?"Suddenly, the door burst open with a loud bang, and a gust of wind swept through the room. Before the two men could even react, they collapsed unconscious on the floor. When the dust settled, the only thing missing was the box on the tabl
"Felix?" Asher scoffed at the name, his expression filled with disdain. "You've got to be kidding me. Those two were Aetherial Realm experts! "To steal from them, someone must be at least Oceanus Realm, if not higher. Are you seriously saying Felix is already at that level?"The old man's smile did not falter as he shifted his gaze to Aiden, completely ignoring Asher as though he did not exist."If you could watch everything unfold, why didn't you step in to grab the box yourself? Or better yet, kill Felix?" Aiden asked, remaining calm and composed as if the entire conversation was a casual chat. He continued, "Are you perhaps some kind of friend of his?"The old man clapped his hands twice, the sound breaking the tension in the room. "Impressive," he said with genuine admiration. "The infamous prodigy of the Greene family. Unshaken even in the face of chaos. I respect that."He paused before adding, "Due to certain... circumstances, I couldn't attack Felix myself. My role was
Felix had been so excited last night that he completely forgot to text Melissa and let her know he would not make it to work. After all, once the refining process started, he could not stop, even if he wanted to. It was supposed to take a full day and night, but to his surprise, it went much faster than expected." Looks like you've just decided to throw in the towel," Melissa huffed as Felix walked into the clinic.Before he could respond, five men with menacing expressions barged into the clinic."Who's the doctor here?" one of them demanded.Felix glanced up calmly. "That would be me. Are you here for treatment?"The group leader, a young man, stormed over and grabbed Felix by the collar. "So you're the doctor? You've got some nerve, being this young and running a clinic! I'm shutting this place down today."Felix stayed calm, but Melissa was not having it. "Hey! What's that supposed to mean? Explain yourself!" she snapped.The young man sneered, motioning for someone to st
After returning to Newtown, Felix's life gradually settled into a steady rhythm. Naturally, he informed his family about his upcoming departure.Thankfully, both Cordelia and Nerissa were understanding people. They didn't question him. Instead, they offered their full support and encouragement.Jack, Madeline, and the others also made a trip to Newtown at Felix's invitation. He didn't tell them anything specific, treating the meetup as a casual reunion.Days passed, and with only half a month remaining, the inevitable finally came.Felix was out shopping with Nerissa that day when an SUV suddenly pulled over beside the street. The window rolled down, revealing an ordinary-looking old man behind the wheel, staring directly at Felix."Nerissa, you should head back first," Felix said.Sensing something was up, Nerissa clutched his arm tightly. "Honey, I'm going to call Eloise and the others."They all knew about the existence of the Ancient Sage, so the moment she saw the man, she
Xena didn't look the least bit afraid. Instead, she simply turned her head and smiled."You must be Donna, the S-tier Malevolent Phantom Specter mentioned. You're the one who can peacefully coexist with Felix, right?"That's right. The newcomer was Donna. In fact, when she called Felix earlier, she was already in the city."Yes." Donna nodded.Without hesitation, Xena tossed the Mystical Explosive Orb over."I'm not interested in this thing. It's yours now. Just... don't kill me."Donna's eyes held a curious glint, but she still reached out and caught the orb."It seems like you've really changed a lot, and your instincts are sharp. How'd you know I came to kill you?"Xena stayed silent.Donna turned and walked away. "Whether I kill you or not doesn't make much difference to me. I'll spare you this time. Who knows, maybe someday, you and Felix will clash again."…Later that day, Donna sat across from Felix in a small restaurant."This is where our partnership ends," he sai
Was Felix actually qualified to learn the Phaeron Codex? Why? How was that even possible?As someone who practiced the Red Moon Reincarnation Requiem, the Scarlet Lord had faced all kinds of enemies. Even when he couldn't win, he could usually survive. There was one exception—someone who could cultivate the Phaeron Codex. That was a threat he couldn't possibly contend with.However, the Phaeron Codex was nearly impossible to find, let alone master. On top of that, its cultivation requirements were absurdly high. In all these years, no one had managed to learn it until now. And that someone was Felix?The Scarlet Lord knew then that he wasn't getting out of this alive. Running into Felix was like a rat running into a tiger. No—it was worse.Now suppressed by the Phaeron Projection, he couldn't unleash a single technique. This was the fatal weakness of the Red Moon Reincarnation Requiem. And who would've thought the second person to master the Phaeron Codex would appear at just this
When Felix first discovered a scout of the Hall of Souls, he noticed red threads inside the man's soul.He'd discussed it with Billy at the time and learned about the existence of the Scarlet Lord and the twisted cultivation method known as the Red Moon Reincarnation Requiem.He just never imagined that the Scarlet Lord would still be alive. Even Gerald had said that anyone who could maintain consciousness while cultivating the Red Moon Reincarnation Requiem was incredibly dangerous and a nightmare to deal with.In other words, the Scarlet Lord might actually be more terrifying than Francis. After all, he'd lived for countless years, too."Haha! What's the matter, Felix the Invincible? Afraid to make the first move?"Specter burst into laughter when he saw Felix just standing there, expressionless and not even trying to fight.To be honest, if it weren't for the Scarlet Lord being here to wipe Felix out personally, Specter wouldn't have had the courage even to try setting a trap.
When the car came to a stop, Felix saw what looked like a rural guesthouse-style building. Judging by how desolate the surrounding area was, it had been abandoned for a long time."Specter is inside, just ahead. He can sense me, but he won't run," the Phantom said.Felix extended his senses. Inside the compound, he sensed three people. They were all currently in the courtyard.In the blink of an eye, Felix grabbed the man who had led him there and vanished. When he reappeared, they were already inside the guesthouse.Felix sneered. "Xena, you've really fallen far.One of the three people present was Xena.It had only been a month since he'd last seen her, but she had changed so much that he barely recognized her. And it wasn't just her gaze—her outfit alone was enough to make him do a double take.A tiny miniskirt, an extremely revealing top, and a flirtatious expression. If it weren't for the aura confirming her identity, Felix would've thought she was just someone with a simil
Felix could tell the four figures were moving fast. However, their speed didn't impress him at his current level.He even had time to pick up his phone when Donna called."Felix, bad news! I just got solid intel. The others are panicking since you've already killed three S-tier Malevolent Phantoms. Somehow, word got out that you're the one behind it, and now the S-tiers are teaming up to take you down!"Who else leaked it? There was no doubt that it was Specter. Who else would do that?"Oh yeah? Well, you're a little late. I've already run into four of them working together. But this explains a lot. I was wondering why they'd suddenly join forces.""What? You've already run into them?" Donna was stunned. "What will you do? Can you get away?"Felix let out a cold chuckle. "Why run? This is a golden opportunity. Just wait for the good news. Soon, you can get the Mystical Explosive Orb back."According to Donna, once the Mystical Explosive Orb overflowed, it couldn't rebound any mo
"Hmm. Not bad," Francis sneered, lifting his hands again. His face suddenly began to tear apart. In the blink of an eye, another face emerged, twisting grotesquely as it rapidly expanded and launched itself toward Felix.Felix didn't flinch. With the added power of the Phaeron Projection, he finally unleashed his ultimate move."Six Word Mantra—Astral Bloom!"The grotesque face instantly shattered, obliterated into pieces, and redirected toward Francis.A flicker of seriousness passed through Francis's eyes. He clearly recognized how powerful that move was.After all, this technique from the Phaeron Codex was unleashed under the full amplification of Lone Paragon. Its power was nothing to scoff at.When the smoke cleared, Francis's figure looked noticeably dimmer."This isn't over, kid!"Francis retreated, and Felix didn't chase him. He had already thrown out every card he had. Who knew what else that old monster was hiding? It was better to leave it at that.At the very lea
Malachar was dead.Felix's eyelids twitched slightly. Although he and Specter had previously clashed in a fierce and breathtaking battle, there had ultimately been no clear outcome.However, he'd done it on his own this time—he had truly taken down an S-tier Malevolent Phantom. While he didn't think this guy was as strong as Specter, he was still undoubtedly S-tier.After spending a full day and night healing over 20 people and their souls, Felix met up with Donna at the hotel."Next one," he said.Donna let out a wry smile. Even she felt a trace of fear now toward Felix."We're still tracking it down. We should be able to find it soon."Felix closed his eyes. "Let me know when you've found it."…Just like that, a month passed, and Felix had eliminated three Malevolent Phanttal. The terrifying power of the Phaeron Codex and the soul-refining feedback from the Mystical Explosive Orb elevated his soul cultivation once again. He reached the Quantacore Realm, and his overall st
After hanging up, Donna stared off into the distance. She murmured, "Felix, just how far can you really go?"...Late at night, inside a luxury estate, Malachar lounged on a velvet couch in the living room, chain-smoking in silence. He could not shake the restlessness gnawing at him—something felt off, which was strange because he had never experienced anything like this before.Suddenly, Malachar frowned as a blinding silver light burst from his body, flinging away something that had just tried to strike him. He snapped, "Who's there?"He was stunned—someone actually had the guts to try and assassinate an S-tier Malevolent Phantom like him. However, there was no answer, only a terrifying wave of soul-based energy rushing in, instantly alerting him to the situation's severity.His body flared up again, even brighter than before, and he let out a furious roar. "I've got over 20 lives in my hands—if you keep attacking, they'll all die!"That threat seemed to work. Before the attac
