Chapter 765

Author: Dreamy Fire
Felix's neck veins bulged, and he glared at Tom with fury, wanting nothing more than to flay him alive.

"You beast! These are five lives you're responsible for!"

To frame him, five people had to die. If the situation hadn't escalated so much, he would've rushed at Tom without a second thought.

However, Tom just sat down casually, a smile still plastered on his face. "Indeed, five lives were lost, but what does that have to do with me? Didn't you hear them? They said it was you, the quack doctor, who killed them. You sure know how to make wild accusations."

Crossing his legs, Tom's smile slowly faded. "Aren't you quite something? I told you not to save Kurt, but you didn't listen. You even used a bit of your martial power to push me out.

"Now, do you see the consequences of provoking me? Soon, the families of these five will come, and then we'll see what you do."

Felix stood there, stunned. For the first time, he encountered someone as ruthless as Tom, who didn't even give the v

    "Look at these origami figures. Don't they look so real? Are there any other shops that have the same quality?" Billy remarked.More than a dozen origami figures were sitting in Floral Wreath Boutique. Tom instinctively glanced over and was shocked. The origamis seemed to be alive! Some appeared to blink at him, and some even took a step forward. Even though it was broad daylight and the outside bustled with noise, his scalp tingled with fear.He turned around and was about to run away when three origamis blocked him. Billy's words rang in Tom's ears."You were still in diapers when I started playing! Send over 500 thousand dollars in cash tomorrow. Otherwise, I'll send origami figures to your house and play with you every day!" Billy threatened.Tom repeatedly gulped, finally realizing that Billy was definitely not someone he could provoke. Billy was someone who had surpassed being a martial artist! Regardless of whether these origami figures were real or an illusion, Tom deci

    "What? Who do you think you are? You can see the Warlord of Thunder with just an ID? What an absolute joke!" Landon bellowed.As Landon complained, Axel had already taken the ID from Felix. His eyes widened in an instant, and he saluted to Felix."Sir!" When Landon saw this, he snatched the ID away in disbelief. His hands began to tremble, and he quickly saluted before returning the ID respectfully."I apologize, sir!" Damn, Felix was actually a Dragon Knight! An admiral-level Dragon Knight at that! His title was much higher than theirs."Notify the Warlord of Thunder, and I'll go with you. Don't worry. I won't make this difficult for you."Almost as soon as Felix was taken to the car, Luna arrived. When she saw Felix leaving, she didn't get out of the car. Her frown grew deeper, and she said coldly, "Go back! I want to know what happened to Dr. Zeller as quickly as possible!"Felix had finally agreed to treat her grandfather. However, now that he had been taken away, this wa

    All of a sudden, Luna walked into Tranquil Clinic. "Dr. Zeller," she called out.Felix glanced up and asked, "Did you solve the issue?"From the look in her eyes, he could tell something had happened."It was just a small favor since I happened to know you. I wanted to bring over the person who framed you, but unfortunately, I wasn't able to. Please forgive me."Felix smiled. "It's alright. You've helped me this time, so I owe you a favor."If this were the old Felix, he wouldn't have cared. But now, he had another identity—an admiral.The deeper and longer his entanglement in this, the worse it would become. Thus, Luna's help this time was of deep significance."Dr. Zeller, that isn't right. I'll owe you a lot if you're willing to treat my grandfather. How can you owe me one?"Felix stood up and said seriously, "Let's put it this way. The things your grandfather did in Dragonia are worth my help. Even if I were to thank you on behalf of the children in the slums, I still owe y

    When Luna saw Felix's expression, her face reddened. She knew he misunderstood the situation."Dr. Zeller, I… I want you to test my lungs first to see if they match my grandfather's," she explained.Felix was immediately embarrassed. He had really misunderstood her intentions. Perhaps the influence of pornography had lingered too deeply in his mind. Under such circumstances, any man would've jumped to the wrong conclusion."Even if they match, what will your grandfather think when he wakes up?" Felix countered.Luna looked at her grandfather lying on the bed. Her expression was doting and full of love."He's taken care of me since I was a child. It's time I repaid him! You can do it, and I'll take care of anything else that comes after."Upon hearing this, Felix stood up and stopped Luna from taking off her shirt. "Alright, I can confirm it by taking your pulse. I won't need the silver needles."After a while, Felix's expression brightened up."You know what? You two are th

    "One day, I'll meet him again," Luna said.…Another day passed, and Willow still hadn't responded. However, Felix didn't rush her—these things couldn't be rushed. Whether he was helping sincerely or not, these were truly two different concepts.Felix didn't open the clinic the whole day. Instead, he hid in a small hotel because the Obsidian Auction was his top priority—nothing else could compare.When he saw the time, Felix put on the Shadow Mask. It didn't require any sacrifices, and it could be adjusted at will after being worn.In the end, he settled on the appearance of a middle-aged man who seemed gentle and elegant before heading off to the auction site. There was a holiday villa near the village a couple of miles away from Gray City. That was where the Obsidian Auction was being held.Unlike the Golden Prime Auction, there wasn't a grand hall. Although the hall at the villa was lavishly decorated, it had no VIP rooms. Everyone sat on the chairs below.As Felix entered th

    Under the red cloth was a cage, and inside stood a person. Although she was wearing a veil and only her eyes were visible, Felix recognized her instantly—it was Melissa."Don't act so impulsively. Think about Skyward Guild," Billy suddenly said. Felix calmed down quickly after hearing that. It was definitely unrealistic to want to snatch someone away by force. As the top guild in Dragonia, Skyward Guild's strength was beyond imagination."The heir of Thief Guild! Those above the Aetherial Realm can subdue her. The consignor requires money plus one of three items to be considered eligible for auction. "The three items are Bloodstone, Hexbloom, and Bewitched Grass. The auction starts now."Felix heaved a sigh of relief. Thanks to Nala impersonating Queenie, he accidentally acquired a Hexbloom, which proved to be valuable this time. At the Obsidian Auction, there was no worry about bribery after the bidding ended because Skyward Guild was confident in its power. Regardless of w

    Billy's voice was tinged with humor as he replied to Felix, "Don't worry. I'll arrange for someone to pick it up, and they'll bring your Hexbloom here as well."Although Billy usually seemed unreliable, he was still quite useful at critical moments. The following auction items were really quite bizarre. Some of them were items that Felix had never heard of. However, from the fierce bidding between the audience, it could be deduced that all of them were good things.However, Aiden didn't make a single bid at all. Instead, he had his eyes closed the entire time.A few hours later, the auctioneer's expression turned solemn. "Please bring out the last item of the auction. The finale of the Obsidian Auction."A beautiful woman came on stage holding a tray with a glass cover. The item inside was in clear view for everyone to see—an extremely strange-looking bone. Felix didn't get excited by it. When he had arrived earlier, he had already sensed it. This was definitely a real Dragon

    Under the staff's guidance, Felix entered a room. There were already several people inside. Besides Aiden and Asher, there were two others wearing masks gathered together.After sitting down, Aiden suddenly turned to Felix. "Have we met somewhere before?" he asked.Felix was shocked. Aiden's perceptiveness was terrifying."Have we? I don't seem to recall…"Without saying another word, Aiden closed his eyes and began resting again. A short while later, an elderly man came in with an unpleasant-looking middle-aged man."I am Wayne Sutcliff, but you can call me Mr. Sutcliff. I'm the person in charge of the Obsidian Auction." He stretched out his right hand and introduced, "This man next to me is the consignor, Ross Livingston."With that, Wayne got straight to the point. "Mr. Livingston wants to know which master healer you're inviting."Aiden spoke first. "Magnus Grimwald from Medic's Haven."Felix's gaze deepened after he heard that. The Greenes were quite formidable. Magnus

    No matter how much a Malevolent Phantom knew, the only thing that was ultimately recovered from them was the extent of humanity's mastery over the soul—nothing else.According to Donna, when a Malevolent Phantom was killed, only a tiny fragment of their remaining soul was retrieved. It was not enough to record everything they had learned—only the most critical information was preserved.So, in the end, whatever intelligence a Malevolent Phantom gathered during its time on Earth did not matter.Felix narrowed his eyes and said, "You're pretty smart. No, actually, a lot of you Malevolent Phantoms seem to have figured this out. Is that why so many of you beg for your lives?"A flicker of hope flashed in the Malevolent Phantom's eyes, and he replied in a serious tone, "I know martial artists like you are bound by your oaths. If you swear on the heavens that you won't kill me, I'll give you some valuable information."Felix did not hesitate. Raising his hand, he declared, "I swear on t

    Felix was a Grandmaster. From this close, he could tell immediately whether Malevolent Phantom had used a technique to heal his broken arm or if it had simply regenerated on its own. That was why he made that remark.The Malevolent Phantom frowned. He replied, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."Then, as if deciding it was not worth the trouble, he muttered, "Whatever. You're strong. I'll give you that. But this isn't that big of a deal, so I'll let you walk away unharmed."Felix's mouth twitched. This was the second Malevolent Phantom he had encountered—after Karina's incident—that actually knew when to back down.It seemed that just like humans, Malevolent Phantoms changed depending on their environment and way of life. The weaker ones, in particular, were more likely to adapt, which was probably why they only killed when they absolutely needed to feed."I'm just a martial artist," Felix said, smirking. "Are you really that afraid of dying?"The Malevolent Phantom

    If Felix had not come, no one would have noticed the distinct scent on the victims' bodies. Without that clue, the culprits could have continued their crimes without restraint.He muttered, "Was this all planned by the A-tier Malevolent Phantom? I have a really bad feeling about this."The more he thought about it, the more unsettling it became. Could something this organized and meticulously executed really be the work of just one Malevolent Phantom? If humans were involved, that would be far more terrifying.When it came to outside threats, no matter how horrifying, the people of Dragonia had always been willing to fight to the bitter end. However, history had a way of repeating itself—if traitors had existed in the past, who was to say they did not exist now?Eventually, Felix said, "Chloe, here's the plan. Tomorrow, you'll go to this dental clinic. You won't see me, but I'll be watching from the shadows. I promise you won't be in any danger."Then, he pulled out a check. He ha

    Felix had not expected Gerald to bring up the Ancient Sage and the Eight Guardians on his own.Gerald replied, "Quit worrying about me and my brother. Karina already told me everything, and since you've already clashed with the Eight Guardians, you might as well see it through to the end."With that, the call ended. Felix felt a rush of excitement. At least now, he had something solid to report to Eloise.Of course, he was not arrogant enough to think this would be easy. If Gerald had set this as his goal, it meant the Eight Guardians were not just some random pushovers.Now that he had already crossed paths with Ashton, he did not need to look for trouble—the rest of them would definitely come after him sooner or later. There was no way they would just sit back and do nothing if one of their own was taken out.But so far, Felix had only encountered two of them—Ashton and Bonnie. The other six remained a mystery, and that was the real problem.By the time the sun was setting, his

    Ian finally understood why Angie respected Felix so much. After all, he could even take time off whenever he wanted. Angie's gaze was filled with mixed emotions as she stared at Felix, saying, "Felix, to be honest, I don't even know how to talk to you anymore. "Even Wendy, the head of Kinsley Corporation, listens to you without question, yet you're seriously working here as a front desk manager?"She had already been shocked to learn that Felix's cousin was Dreamscape, but what she had just witnessed was on a whole other level—it was like a bolt of lightning striking her. In fact, she was starting to question if that whole "cousin" thing was even real.Her words were spoken casually, but they hit like a sledgehammer. Bob, who was already sweating bullets, felt his legs go weak and collapsed to his knees.He quickly shouted, "I was wrong! I never should've set you up—please, just think of me as nothing and let me go!"He never expected Wendy to be the very person everyone in Kas

    Bob did not say much. He kept wondering if Felix and Wendy were just being polite. He was absolutely certain he would not be exposed. The waiter would never admit to intentionally causing trouble, and no investigation could possibly reveal anything. He might as well keep things as messy as possible. Less than ten minutes passed before Angie arrived. She did not even greet Felix, immediately rushing to the Azure VIP Room with Ian. Felix remained in the main hall. It was past the lunch rush, so the restaurant was almost empty and quiet. Suddenly, Bob heard Felix's voice say, "I won't be here for more than a few days, so you really didn't need to use these tactics." "Mr. Zeller, were you speaking to me?" "You know exactly what I mean. Don't do this again." Felix was not naive. He could tell from how Bob had been helpful in the main hall but went silent in the private room. Something was definitely fishy. But Felix was totally focused on the Malevolent Phantoms now, and he

    Just as Felix turned, the bathroom door opened, and a woman walked out. Seeing how the hem of her dress was wet, it was clearly from washing off spilled wine. "Mr. Zeller?" With just a glance, Felix was instantly wordless. Of all people, it was actually Wendy. "Oh, Wendy. What a coincidence!" Seeing Felix in his professional attire, Wendy was stunned. "What are you doing?" "I'm working as a front desk manager at this restaurant." Hearing this, Wendy remembered Felix was currently running important tasks nationwide. So, this made perfect sense. "Since we know each other, let's just drop this. The waiter didn't mean to cause trouble. There's no need to make such a big deal." Franz had already walked over at that moment. But he was shocked to see Wendy knew the front desk manager and was even addressing him so respectfully. "Got it, Mr. Zeller. Sorry for the trouble." Felix nodded and left. Bob followed, but a bad feeling crept into his mind. How did Felix know Franz's

    Sally heard the intercom call, too, and her admiration for Bob reached new heights. Everyone in the restaurant knew that for VIP rooms like the Azure Room, customer complaints could not be handled by a front desk manager. Only the general manager—like Ian—could deal with it—and if he couldn't, Angie herself would have to step in.This was clearly Bob's setup. If not, Felix would not have had to go over. Bob had taken advantage of Felix being new and clueless about the rules.But his guts were something else. He was actually sacrificing one or two waiters just to go up against the boss' daughter. Was this really just about a front desk manager position anymore? In the Azure VIP Room, there were only two people by the massive table. A waiter knelt on the floor, body shaking uncontrollably. Just this scene told Felix the guests were definitely high-profile. "Who are you?"The young man with a powerful presence immediately frowned when he saw Felix."Hello, sir. I'm the front des

    In the morning, Felix visited the dental clinic where the two women had their teeth cleaned. He found nobody suspicious there. He had already reviewed the relevant videos. They only had a routine teeth cleaning with barely any interaction. Any hope of finding a lead this way was completely crushed. After leaving, he received a call from Angie and rushed to an incredibly luxurious restaurant. "Felix, how about working as a front desk manager here?" she asked.What should have been a simple job offer now felt like she was tentatively seeking his permission. "Sure. But Ms. Sinclair, I have one condition."Angie smiled and said, "Go ahead.""I have some personal matters to deal with here. So, when I need to leave to handle something, I hope I can get time off normally." Angie thought that was nothing. She glanced at the middle-aged man beside her. "No problem. This is the restaurant's general manager, Ian Goodwin. Just give him a call when you want to leave." Ian immediately
