Chapter 744

Author: Dreamy Fire
"You bitch! How dare you splash me? Do you know who I am?" Edwin snarled.

Just in time, Felix grabbed Edwin's wrist and pushed him back, causing him to stumble until his friends caught him. Though Felix had not planned on playing hero, he had never felt more compelled to act.

"Get lost!" he warned.

"You're both dead! Neither of you is walking out of here in one piece!" Edwin threatened as he pulled out a switchblade, and his friends quickly surrounded Felix.

"I'm calling the police!" Queenie warned, frightened as she pulled out her phone.

Edwin sneered, "Call them, and I'll slice up that pretty face of yours."

Felix calmly guided Queenie back to her seat before calling out to someone behind the thugs. "Handle this."

"Mr. Zeller!" Multiple voices rang out in unison, startling Edwin and his men.

They spun around to find over a dozen intimidating men standing behind them, far more threatening than any street thugs.

"M-Mr. Gray!" Edwin stammered, recognizing the leader. He could

    Felix instantly recognized the voice—it was Delilah, also known as Dreamscape. After promising Billy, he contacted Seven from Flair to relay a message through Averill, though he had not expected such a quick response.Felix was grateful to Averill for allowing Seven to exist as a connection to his senior apprentices. Perhaps it was also Gerald's way of acknowledging that Felix would not abuse such relationships."Who's that? Felix, i-is someone else in your house?" Queenie asked fearfully, hiding behind him in a natural response to the unexpected voice.Delilah emerged wearing the mask she always wore in public. Felix quickly explained, "Don't be afraid. She's my senior apprentice."Queenie gathered her courage to look and gasped. "A-Aren't you Dreamscape?"Dreamscape was incredibly famous, and almost everyone knew about her. Moreover, her mask was so iconic that no one dared to copy it, knowing her fans would destroy any impostors. Felix shot Delilah an annoyed look before tu

    "What? Queenie is a martial artist?" Felix was stunned, wondering how powerful this Shadow Mask could be. He shuddered to think what dangers might have awaited him if Delilah had not happened to arrive and expose the truth."I mean you no harm! Otherwise, I would have struck already! Let me leave, and I'll agree to any conditions!" Queenie pleaded.Delilah smirked. "Any conditions?""Yes, anything!" Queenie confirmed desperately.Felix suddenly burst out in anger. "Still trying to manipulate me? By 'any conditions,' you mean getting me to sleep with you, right?"Delilah was taken aback, wondering why Felix kept talking about sleeping with women. She wondered if his junior apprentices had messed with his head too much.Seeing Queenie's silence, Felix continued harshly. "I should have known there was something suspicious about that tattoo on your back. You'd better tell the truth, or you're not leaving!" Queenie suddenly turned to Delilah. "Please don't tell Felix what I really

    Standing at Felix's gates was Xena—an utterly unexpected sight that explained his shocked expression. Despite their phone conversation, where she had threatened to block him again, she was there in the middle of the night. Could there be hope for reconciliation?With his heart racing, Felix rushed to open the gates. "Xena, what brings you here?""Can't I visit? How mean!" She pouted, giving him a reproachful look.After a moment's hesitation, Felix followed her inside, then broke into a wry smile. "Delilah, can we stop playing these games?"The woman about to sit on the couch looked puzzled. "What do you mean? Who's Delilah?"Felix shook his head. "Drop the act. Xena would never act cute with me right now—you don't know her at all. You almost had me fooled, though." He gestured toward her chest and added, "Plus, you're a bit more... ample there than she is."Looking down at herself, "Xena" laughed. "Oh? You seem to remember my features quite well. Did you measure me while I w

    Felix maintained a straight face. "You're lucky to get anything at all. I never promised a fancy meal."Billy's frustration grew as Delilah barely spoke during breakfast and left quickly after eating just a little.Almost immediately after she left, he exploded, "Felix! What did I ever do to deserve this? I've dreamed about dining with Dreamscape countless times, and this is how you ruined it!"Felix snorted, pointing at Billy. "You're lucky I kept my promise at all, you fat idiot. After what you pulled, you deserve a good slap or two.""What did I do?" Billy demanded indignantly. "If you don't explain yourself, I'll put funeral wreaths in front of your clinic this afternoon."Felix simply watched Billy's reaction before continuing, "Queenie deceived me. There was never any haunted tattoo situation. What do you have to say for yourself?"Billy deflated and slumped in his chair. "Don't blame me! Queenie offered too much money. I couldn't refuse! Besides, it wouldn't have hurt you.

    Felix stared in bewilderment at Clement's intense reaction. "What happened?"Suddenly, Clement released his grip and let out a bitter laugh. He said, "Never mind. Perhaps this is my fate. I shouldn't blame others for it."Then, he got into his car and drove away, leaving Felix completely confused but certain something serious had occurred.…At the clinic, Felix could not sit still and finally decided to call Willow. "I wanted to ask about Clement—""Don't bother!" Willow snapped. "Felix, don't contact us anymore. I wanted to yell at you, but Clement is right—sometimes, we have to accept our fate instead of blaming others. "You did save Darcy, and we'll always remember that. Let's leave it at that."The line went dead, and when Felix tried calling back, he discovered he had been blocked. "Damn it!" He slammed his hand on the desk in genuine anger. Willow had been the key to reconciling with Xena, and just when things were looking promising, this mystery situation had erupte

    Felix tried calling Ryan but got a "temporarily unavailable" message. He asked Oscar, "Did Tristan mention why he's doing this?Oscar shook his head. "No. He wouldn't budge no matter how much our chairman begged. We finally got this huge loan from Concord Bank and were about to take the company to the next level. Now, it's all falling apart."Felix found it strange. After all, there was no reason to go after Clement if someone wanted to target him. They were merely friendly neighbors during his short time in Gray City, so their connection was not that deep."Did Clement agree to sell?" Felix asked."What choice did we have? The Jacintos are too powerful. Even selling at a low price would at least cover our debts and let us survive. We'll lose everything if we don't sell."Felix finally understood why Clement had been so emotional—Tristan must have said something specifically threatening in private. "When's the contract signing?""Tomorrow morning at the company," Oscar replied.

    Tristan sneered with contempt. "Do you actually think a mere card can stop a loan collection? Who do you think you are?"However, Dorian's composure crumbled as he suddenly stood up and grabbed the card, his face filled with shock. "Y-You're a Supreme Black Card holder!"The standards at Concord Bank were incredibly strict. Even if Felix had shown a regular VIP card earlier, no one could access his other credentials without proper authorization. This explained Dorian's astonishment, especially since Felix had only presented a Diamond Card during their last encounter."Is there a problem?" Felix asked calmly.Dorian was terrified. "No problem at all, Mr. Zeller! I promise to execute your orders immediately, regardless of what anyone else says."He was not joking. After all, a Supreme Black Card held immense power. One call to the international headquarters could get the Dragonia branch president fired in seconds."Get it done," Felix commanded.As Dorian left, Tristan's express

    "I'm sorry, Felix. I was too emotional and believed Tristan's words," Clement apologized.Felix waved his hand dismissively. "No. I should be the one apologizing. My personal grudges ended up affecting you both."It was obvious that everything had been resolved, or these two would not have come to see him."Don't say that! Mr. Yardley told me about the additional 500-million-dollar loan, interest-free this time. I don't know how to thank you enough," Clement said earnestly.The interest on a mere 500-million-dollar loan was nothing compared to earning the favor of a Supreme Black Card holder—anyone in that position could do the math. Felix had planned to reveal things gradually, but at this point, there was no use hiding anymore. After all, Clement and Willow were not foolish. They knew a simple neighborly relationship could not run this deep, though they had not dared to ask. The incident with the Jacinto family had shown them that Felix was far more than just a doctor."Actual

    "Felix, don't worry! You're on an official mission to Martial City. That scoundrel is an unexpected problem, but I'll ensure your safety," the Protector reassured Felix as he handed Felix two tokens.The Protector explained, "The red token is essential for entering and leaving Martial City. Without it, no one can safely pass through the barriers. Each token only works once before turning to dust, so guard it carefully. They're extremely rare and valuable, even within Martial City." Felix nodded in understanding as he accepted the tokens, but his attention was drawn to the yellow one. It was round and slightly mysterious."The yellow token wasn't something I originally planned to give you," the Protector continued. "It's not ideal for your growth, but given what just happened, I want to ensure your safety above all else.""If that old man from the Elders' Council comes after you again, don't hesitate to crush this token. Someone will come to your aid immediately."Felix was unsure

    "Wait over there. They won't dare touch you," Felix told Xena while maintaining a calm expression as he faced the six Council Elders.In the past, he might have been less confident against these formidable opponents. Each of them was strong enough to challenge those above their level, which was precisely why they had earned their positions as Council Elders.Having dealt with Gage before, Felix knew his cunning and temperament were terrifying. All that made him an exceptionally dangerous adversary."Felix, are you sure about this?" Xena asked worriedly, wondering how the Elders' Council dared to act so boldly and who this Grand Elder was that could hold off the Protector."Just go," Felix replied, his tone firm.Gage took a step forward, his expression cold. "I know you're keeping your cool because you have the Lone Paragon on your side, but relying on something like that won't change your fate." Felix smirked. "Skip the speech. You chose this location because you plan to hide i

    "Let's go," Xena said.After getting off the plane, Felix got into a car with Xena behind the wheel. She was driving herself, with no one else accompanying them."In the backpack, you'll find everything you need for Martial City. I'll explain each item as you take them out," she said.Felix grabbed the backpack from the back seat and opened it, finding only a few items inside.Xena explained, "This phone only works in Martial City. Due to the barriers, it can't connect to satellites, but it works perfectly within the city. It's unregistered too, so you don't need to worry about being tracked."The device was more of a chunky block than a modern phone. It had an archaic feel and a tiny screen that did not support video calls or other advanced features."What's this card?" Felix asked as he pulled out another item—a card that looked like an emerald-green bank card. The only difference was that it appeared to be made of emerald, with elegant swirls of pale green throughout."That's

    Felix felt a chill ran down his spine when Billy said he was haunted."A master practitioner has cursed you," Billy explained between bites. "They're so skilled that I couldn't even sense it when you first walked in."Felix checked himself but felt nothing unusual. "I feel fine, though. What kind of curse are we talking about?"Instead of answering right away, Billy casually continued eating. "There are many types of curses, both in Dragonia and abroad. From what I can tell, this is the work of a foreign expert."He paused to take another bite, then added, "These masters are especially dangerous. All they need is something you keep close to you, and they can attack you remotely. From the looks of it, they've already started." Felix jumped up in alarm. "Stop joking around! I don't feel anything, and the Dragonspine isn't even reacting!"Billy smirked. "That's because your soul is unusually strong. What's strange, though, is how much it's grown in such a short time. I mean, the th

    Time flew by quickly, and the one-month deadline was suddenly upon them. Xena would come for Felix tomorrow, making this his last night in town. There was no grand farewell party since he had already said his goodbyes to everyone. Ronan and Melissa were getting along well, planning to travel the world together after Felix's departure. From the looks of it, they were not far from making their relationship official.Felix definitely approved of this match, as Ronan was a genuinely good person. The man was honest and reliable, someone worthy of trust. As for Jack and the others, they had called to say they would be laying low for a while, which had become somewhat routine by now.That night, Felix and Billy were sitting in Floral Wreath Boutique, where a few dishes and bottles of wine were on the table."Honestly, eating and drinking in a place like this gives me the creeps," Felix said, glancing around.Billy waved him off, unconcerned. "You're overthinking it. Look at me—am I not

    "Ha! I can't believe you actually got up! Think you can handle it?" Averill doubled over with laughter.Karina was also chuckling, and Felix finally realized they had been teasing him. He shook his head and said, "Alright, you two, enough with the jokes."…The next day, Felix met with Kayden, the powerful Fish Man, on the outskirts of Gray City."Here's the Twin Fish Cauldron. I trust everything is in order?" Felix asked, and after carefully examining the artifact, Kayden smiled with satisfaction."Indeed, this is the genuine Twin Fish Cauldron. You truly delivered on your promise," Kayden confirmed.Felix understood why someone as powerful as Kayden had been hesitant to retrieve it himself—he feared the founding master of Skyward Guild. "And here's your Dragonspine," Kayden said as he handed over the item, making Felix smile. It was refreshing to have a straightforward exchange without any hidden agendas.…That evening, Melissa executed Shane, the imprisoned Fish Man. She

    Several minutes later, Terry returned, holding a small bronze cauldron. He also brought along two young individuals—a man and a woman."Dragon Knight, this is my disgrace of a son, and that woman is his lover. Everything started because of this little bitch. I'll make things right with you today."As soon as he finished speaking, Terry raised a hand and pointed at the young woman. She collapsed into a pool of blood before she could even react."Please, spare my son's life," Terry pleaded, his voice trembling with desperation.Terry was truly out of options. Even the founder of his guild had given up trying to handle Felix, so what could he possibly do? If Felix continued to grow stronger, Terry knew his own fate would be sealed one random night. "I'm not unreasonable. We'll proceed as you suggested," Felix responded in a measured tone. If not for Xena's warning about outside threats, he might not have been so lenient. Besides, the Skyward Guild's strength made them valuable na

    A terrifying aura spread from a distant building, instantly enveloping the entire Skyward Guild. Terry and his followers were overjoyed, knowing their Founding Master had been monitoring the guild's safety even during meditation."How long has it been since someone dared to cause trouble in the Skyward Guild? Such audacity!" A powerful voice echoed across the grounds, brimming with authority. Even without appearing in person, the sheer presence of this unseen force was overwhelming."Felix, you've brought this upon yourself!" Terry snarled through gritted teeth, his injuries making his anger even more palpable.The other guild members began shouting, their earlier caution forgotten. "So what if you're a Dragon Knight? You struck first, and that gives us every right to retaliate. The headquarters won't say a word against us!"Someone else growled, "Do you really think that being at the Boneforging Realm makes you invincible? Wait until you face our Founding Master!"

    Terry's only comfort was Felix's status as a Dragon Knight, believing it would keep him in check. However, Stamford could not help but laugh bitterly—how could they expect restraint after sending assassins after Felix?"Terry!" a voice suddenly boomed throughout the Skyward Guild, causing all the training disciples to freeze in curiosity."Who dares to cause trouble in my Skyward Guild?" Terry growled as he vanished on the spot, with Stamford following close behind.When they reached the front courtyard, they found Felix standing there, which immediately dampened their aggressive stance. Terry asked diplomatically, "Ah, if it isn't the honorable Dragon Knight. What brings you to our Skyward Guild?" Felix smirked at the gathered martial arts masters. "Call me Felix or Dragon Knight; I don't care—I'm here for justice."Terry's greeting was not lost on Felix. Using the title "Dragon Knight" was a calculated move to tie him to the headquarters and make things more complicated.
