Chapter 687

Author: Dreamy Fire
The newcomer was a young man, the same one who had earlier looked at Felix from a distance with great disdain.

"How do we know that you've truly cured him? His back might be straightened, but who can guarantee how long it will last?"

Felix ignored the young man's aggressive attitude and didn't even respond. Several elderly figures immediately rushed over.

"Shut up, you impudent brat! How dare you speak out of line?" they scolded.

Levi approached Felix with an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry. That young relative is ignorant and rude. Please forgive him."

Felix nodded without saying much and turned to leave.

Even so, the young man was still seething with anger, though he dared not speak up anymore.

He dared to behave this way because, after Mason's death, he was the most talented and gifted young member of the Jacobs family.

He had just reached the Innate Realm the day before. He had been summoned to that place by his elders to receive guidance, which made him bold but not reckless

    Felix laughed and said, "It's fine, don't worry about it too much.""That's good. By the way, don't forget about my wedding," Jack said.After the phone call ended, Felix and his companions had a few more drinks. Then, they personally took him to the airport. Felix arrived back in Gray City just as the sun was setting.Having just built a good relationship with Willow, Felix felt it was best to seize the opportunity. Even staying a night in Yartford felt like a loss to him.As he was nearing his home, Felix spotted a woman who turned her head as if sensing his presence."Zara Morgan?" he called out.Felix frowned. As soon as Zara took a step, Felix ran off. After all, he had already promised Silas to avoid her.Some time later at night, a call from Kurt came through."What's the situation?" Felix asked."The woman is still standing at the door and hasn't left," Kurt replied.Felix felt a headache brewing from the news he heard. "I understand. Keep watching her."It seemed

    The Twinshade Body? Felix scoured his mind but couldn't find any information about it, so he had no choice but to admit, "I've never heard of it."Silas was visibly disappointed, and he stopped himself from saying more. Rising to his feet, Silas said, "Just hold on for a few more days. I've been trying to find a solution, and I've already contacted Lemuel. He's promised to give me an answer soon. I can only ask for your patience for now."As he spoke, Silas unexpectedly bowed, which startled Felix. Felix asked, "What are you doing, sir?" Silas waved his hand. "This is something my apprentice and I owe you. It has nothing to do with you. You're a victim in all of this. I'm already very grateful that you respect me. Once I have the results, I'll contact you right away."With that, Silas left, leaving Felix feeling unsettled and anxious.It kind of felt like when a beautiful woman had stirred him up to the point of burning with desire, only to tell him that she couldn't proceed

    "At that time, all the righteous and evil factions united to hunt him down. After trapping him, they fought for nine days and nights. There were countless casualties before they finally killed the Twinshade Body's owner," Gerald explained.Felix's mouth hung open in shock, imagining just how intense that battle must have been—it was too exaggerated to even comprehend."Is the Twinshade Body really that terrifying?" Felix asked."Yes! Before the body fully erupts, the person is just like an ordinary human. Only someone at the level of a master healer could detect it by physically touching the body. No matter how strong the martial artist, they wouldn't sense it. But once it erupts, controlling it is nearly impossible."Before Felix could ask more questions, Gerald continued, "If I'm not mistaken, Silas must have used the Ultimate Needle Technique to seal Zara's Twinshade Body. "After the incident in the Era of King Arthur, this formation was researched and became the only way to t

    When Felix arrived at the villa's entrance, Silas, despite coughing up blood, stood firm in front of Zara.Standing across from them was none other than Karina. Who would have thought she would arrive so quickly? It was as if she had been nearby the whole time."If you insist on this, don't blame me for being ruthless," she said.Karina's expression was cold and unyielding. She had already injured Silas with one strike, but she hadn't delivered a fatal blow out of consideration. However, seeing that Silas refused to step aside, she had no reason to hold back anymore.Felix knew how serious Karina was about her tasks, especially when they came from their mentor. Without wasting time on pointless pleas like "spare him", he pushed his speed to the limit. Even resorting to using the Speed Talisman Gerald had given him, he barely managed to intercept Karina at the critical moment.Knowing he wasn't her match, Felix shouted as he threw himself at Karina, holding her back."Take her a

    It would have been too much of a reckless gamble to take Zara away by force."Don't worry, sir. Zara's strength is no match for mine. My mentor once said that the Twinshade Body only activates after falling in love and being intimate with someone they love. If she comes to me, I can completely restrain her and hand her over to you," Felix said.However, Silas shook his head immediately."That won't work. There's something I haven't told you. Do you remember the time Zara saved your life?""Of course."That poisoning incident was something Felix would never forget for the rest of his life."The stunning beauty you were with in your dream? That was the real Zara! Yes, her true appearance is just that flawless."Felix was stunned, like a bolt of lightning had struck him. Could there really be such a perfect woman in this world, with a figure and looks beyond reproach?"Now imagine this. If Zara regains her true appearance and stands before you, as a man—especially one who's alread

    At that moment, the kind of temptation no man could resist was fully unveiled.It was especially so when Zara revealed her breathtaking, flawless face. It was simply beauty at its absolute peak. Her delicate hand lifted slightly, and the smooth curve of her shoulder began to show.Felix was caught completely off guard. He hadn't anticipated Zara breaking her word so abruptly, let alone launching such a powerful move without a single warning.His hands trembled violently as he tried to summon a burst of energy or a forceful wave to knock her unconscious. However, his body wouldn't respond. Some deep, primal urge in his mind held him back, preventing him from taking decisive action. And in the depths of his consciousness, the memories of their intimate dream became even more vivid."Am I beautiful? Don't you want to have me—truly have me?"Zara stepped closer to Felix, and with each step, a captivating fragrance grew stronger. It wasn't just a scent that filled his nose. It seemed

    Felix let out a bitter laugh, thinking, "Aren't I just as guilty?"Overconfidence was a flaw, and today, he had fully realized it. He had already experienced Zara's perfection in his dreams, so he should have known how terrifyingly overwhelming her allure could be. Yet, here they were.Silas soon departed with his spirits crushed, leaving Felix to return to the villa. Sitting on the living room couch, he softly called out, "Karina."As expected, Karina appeared across from him, as if out of thin air."So, you've finally crossed that line?"Her tone was calm, not reflecting the turmoil that would typically accompany the eruption of the Twinshade Body."Yes," Felix admitted. "I overestimated myself. Karina, could you please contact Mr. Hoffman? Perhaps I don't have the right to claim responsibility for everything, but whatever consequences there are, I won't avoid them."Without another word, Karina dialed a number and, after a brief exchange, handed the phone to Felix."You br

    Felix's hands trembled while holding his phone—his entire body was overcome with fear. He was so anxious he couldn't bring himself to press the answer button.In the end, it was Karina who stepped in, unable to watch him struggle any longer. She reached over and answered the call, putting it on speaker mode."Mr. Zeller, a chemical plant caught fire. So far, 35 fatalities have been confirmed."Felix felt a whirlwind of emotions. On one hand, it was good news that this wasn't connected to Zara. However, it was bad news that over 30 lives had been consumed by the merciless flames."I understand. I'll transfer some money to you. Please make sure it's distributed to the families of the deceased," Felix said.Not knowing about the incident was one thing. Now that he knew, there was no way he could ignore it. Felix wasn't a saint, but he wasn't heartless either."By the way, Karina, what does Dahlia need me to do?" he asked.Karina handed him a piece of paper. "Donate ten million doll

    As soon as Chelsea's finger touched a card, it turned and displayed the number one. Hendrix immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Although there were no longer any tricks at this point, it all depended on their strengths and luck.If anyone met Chelsea in the first round, then it would definitely affect the morale of the rest of the battles. After Chelsea, several people jumped out simultaneously, including Lachlan and Felix. When Felix touched a card, it revealed the number three.Hendrix quickly frowned and looked over. There was another person he didn't want to fight—Felix.During the two days of rest, he talked a lot with Yvian. Of course, he had learned some things, like the cooperation with Lyle and Felix. This made him feel unsettled, but he didn't expect that they would meet.Once everyone had drawn their numbers, Chelsea and another player who had drawn the same number stayed on the island. The rest temporarily left the island."Begin!"The fight between the two start

    Holly was right—Felix could no longer question it. He smiled bitterly as he realized he had no choice in the matter. He thought for a while before suggesting, "What about this, if you're really part of their family, come back to Earth with me after the competition. Can you do that?"Holly agreed willingly. "Of course, I'm looking for family. That isn't an issue."Once Holly left, she contacted someone. A look of astonishment flashed in her eyes as she read Felix's information."Oh? I didn't expect this guy to be so well-known! Has Star Alliance already contacted him and offered a position as the Elder of External Affairs?"Given this information, it was evident just how powerful Holly's connections were. After all, not many people in Star Alliance knew of it.Since they were offering him the position of Elder of External Affairs, it seemed that Felix had already formed the Way of Mind. Holly didn't expect someone from such a barbaric planet to be so powerful."How interesting

    Felix's expression fell immediately, and he tried to push the woman away. "Are you crazy? Get out!"However, as he closed the door, the woman stopped it from shutting. "You're a contestant in this year's Rank-Ascending Competition, right? I can sense that there's someone in Star Alliance protecting you."But there are some things you can't avoid," she said. "Either you take this chance to talk to me, or I'll ask myself. It shouldn't be difficult to find out where you're from."Felix realized the seriousness of her words as he gazed at the woman. She could sense the higher-ups secretly protecting him, but at least she couldn't figure out who he was—in other words, this woman was extremely powerful.No matter her purpose, if she really went to Earth, who could stop her? Since the Rank-Ascending Competition hadn't ended yet, and with Earth still a mess, who could stop the invasion?"Fine, come in," Felix relented.The corners of her mouth curled into a smile. "Hahaha! This is the at

    "The Lord?" Felix wondered. But Jerry continued, "The Lord—the deputy leader of the Star Alliance. He's one of the champions of the Rank-Ascending Competition and one of the current fighters of the Star Alliance—Tyrone Linetti, nicknamed The Tyrant."When you were on the ninth floor of the Tower of Babel, he couldn't sleep a wink."Felix was shocked by the revelation. It turned out that he had no privacy at all, even in the tower. Besides the Spirit of the Tower, Star Alliance could also observe him.Before he could respond, Jerry nodded sagely. "Yes, Lord Tyrant discovered that you've successfully condensed the Way of Mind! Otherwise, why would he tell me to recruit you personally?"Sure enough, Felix's Way of Mind was discovered."You're so young, and you'd definitely rank among the top three in Star Alliance's records," Jerry said. "Hell, you'd even be better than Lord Tyrant! That is why Star Alliance is willing to make an exception for you."They're offering you the positi

    However, Felix was the only one who sat there unmoving. Julius quickly pulled him up."That's Jerry Gonzalez, one of the top three elders in the Star Alliance. You can't even fathom how powerful he is! How dare you keep sitting there?" Julius muttered.Felix hated having to worship the powerful, but there were times when he couldn't help it. He watched as Scopulus bent over in a bow, greeting Jerry respectfully. That told Felix everything he needed to know."Mr. Gonzalez, what are you doing here?" Scopulus asked warmly. However, Jerry smiled and completely ignored him. Instead, he walked straight to Felix."Felix! I'm Jerry Gonzalez from Star Alliance. Are you free to chat? Let's head into a more private area."Everyone in the bar watched with bated breath, and their mouths fell agape as they watched the scene unfold. One of the top three elders of Star Alliance came all the way here to find a contender. This has never happened before.Even if there was a contender from a pow

    Xenon helplessly said, "Dude, it doesn't matter if you sign the agreement. They've met their goal as long as you meet Lachlan in the round! If you lose to Lachlan, it doesn't matter if you live or die—you won't be able to save the Earth."At that point, you can't go back to Earth, so where will you go? Even if you run, you won't be able to escape death." Xenon was right—the Orions wanted to kill Felix quickly in the past so he wouldn't hinder their plans to invade Earth. …As Felix followed the two, he experienced the entirety of the Star Alliance headquarters. There was advanced technology that Felix had never seen before, as well as delicious food. "Felix, don't you want to check that place out? There are women from all races in the universe. You can do them however you want. Besides, Star Alliance will pay for it all," Julius teased.As a man, Felix naturally wanted to experience it all. But as a man with a family, he didn't want to. After a full day, no other families

    Just then, Yvian interrupted, "Dad, since Felix is this sincere, I think we should tell him some things in advance—to prove our sincerity."After a pause, Lyle nodded, and Yvian looked at Felix, saying, "What I said about Star Alliance was a very big maybe. Because of your current situation, they may not even come to help you. If they do, I can't predict what they will do."But one thing is for sure—if you need Star Alliance's help, you must join them. My family can't compare to them. I believe you understand that." Felix looked a bit unsure but smiled. He replied, "Thank you for telling me the truth. Let's take a look at the contract."Lyle's eyes glinted mysteriously. He knew that Yvian's words convinced Felix. Sure enough, with someone like that, Lyle could only treat him with sincerity—lies and deceit were meaningless to Felix.After reading the contract, Felix confirmed that it was exactly as Lyle had said. There was not even a word out of line."Alright, I'll sign it," F

    "No idea. Oh, right. My dad told me to check in with him, too," Julius said.Julius lifted his wrist, and a white wristband flashed briefly. Then, he closed his eyes.It was a communication device developed by Star Alliance. It was way more advanced than anything on Earth—it could handle video, voice, and even silent messaging—meaning it allowed direct brain-to-brain communication without anyone around knowing you were chatting.Right now, Julius was silently talking to Trent. "Father, Lyle just approached Felix to recruit him. What do you think about that?"To his surprise, Trent chuckled on the other end. "His instincts are still as sharp as ever. Don't worry about it. Lyle has always trusted his intuition, and so far, he's never been wrong. "His move doesn't affect us. You already have the upper hand. Like I said before, just stay friends with Felix. As long as you maintain that bond, it's as good as recruiting him for our family."When Julius thought back to how Felix had sa

    Julius and Xenon exchanged a look and chuckled."Do you know why they gave you two days of free time?" Julius asked.Felix shook his head and signaled for him to get to the point."Among the ten finalists, those without a strong family background are prime targets for recruitment. Hence, you might be one of them," Julius said.Felix thought it made sense—it wasn't all that different from how things worked back on Earth."Recruitment by families? Do they expect you to change your last name or something?" Felix asked.Julius laughed. "Of course not. Every strong martial artist has their pride. No one would agree to something like that. The ones they're interested in are people with limitless potential, like you. Since you come from a developing planet, you have no resources—you're a perfect target."He added, "For instance, if my family wanted to recruit you, we'd propose an alliance. You wouldn't have to give up anything—you would only need to agree to a contract saying you'd hel
