"Great! Wait for me in the living room, Joe. I'll take a bath and wash up. It'll be too disrespectful to meet Mr. Cane looking like this," Xena said.

Jordan was exhilarated as well. Once Wesley healed Curtis, everything would fall into place for him to be with Xena.

At the same time, Felix stood outside the mansion and rang the doorbell. Yet, it was Belle and Jordan who came out.

"Felix? What are you doing here?" Belle disliked him strongly. He was a useless good-for-nothing, but he still fantasized about marrying Xena.

Just because of that prenuptial agreement? He was craving for what he was not worthy of! Even Jordan alone could easily take on an army of Felixes.

"I'm here to visit Mr. Summers Senior. Is Xena here?" Felix asked.

He had come over because Louie had obtained a Grimflower and delivered it to his villa. Felix verified that it was indeed genuine and came over immediately.

After treating it with acupuncture techniques, the Grimflower could stop the Phantom Poison

    At the same time, Belle also threatened Felix, "Either you keep the needles, or I take action. I'm sure you know the consequences."Felix had enough of Belle and Jordan. With a tapping gesture of his right hand, he made them stand frozen in place, completely unable to move. They could only communicate with their eyes since they couldn't even open their mouths."The spell will be automatically removed after half an hour," Felix said. After inserting the two silver needles, he placed the Grimflower into Curtis' mouth.He then left the room under Belle's and Jordan's furious gazes.20 minutes later, Xena had finished showering. After getting dressed, she arrived on the top floor. She was perplexed upon seeing the two of them standing stiffly in place. "What's wrong with the two of you?"She noticed that they could only gesture with their eyes. Realizing what might have happened, she tapped with her right hand. Straight away, the two of them were able to move again."Something's

    Jordan's expression turned horrifyingly sullen once he heard the word "Grimflower". He barked, "Damn it! Felix has got some nerve!"A sense of foreboding arose in Xena's heart as he asked, "W-What is it?""Grimflowers are rare herbs, but they're highly poisonous. How cruel of Felix!"The news was so shocking that it sparked murderous intent in Xena and Belle at once. They wondered if Felix resorted to extreme measures because he couldn't get what he wanted. Even if that were the case, wasn't he being too bold?"Quit panicking!" Wesley spoke up while glaring at his precious apprentice. "You're right. The Grimflower is indeed highly poisonous. However, whether it's harmful depends on the state of the person ingesting it and how one prepares this herb."After saying that, Wesley pointed at Curtis' mouth. "This specific Grimflower looks paler. It's evident that someone has treated it with acupuncture methods.""Acupunture?" Even for Jordan, that was his first time hearing about such

    "Milady, I think what Jordan said is right. Felix must have gotten this Grimflower by luck," said Belle.A while later, Xena sighed. "Regardless, it's undeniable that Felix has helped me this time. Belle, please arrange a slot in my schedule. I'm going to buy Felix a meal as a token of my gratitude."Jordan sighed in relief, thinking it was fine for Xena to buy Felix a meal. He felt someone of Felix's caliber couldn't compare to him. Because of that, he believed they would be in serious trouble if Xena believed Felix's medical skills were superior to Wesley's.…Meanwhile, Felix had returned to his villa in Tabiner Bay. He had just arrived when he saw Sasha standing at the entrance to his property."Felix," she greeted."What are you doing here? We no longer have anything to do with each other."Sasha bit her lower lip, seeming to have predicted this outcome. "I'm sorry, Felix. I was being too haughty before. I swear, I'm not approaching you because you and Lord Kane are related

    The debt his parents owed? Felix took the papers from Jolene and instantly frowned. "These are the company's debts from back then. What do they have to do with my parents?" To his surprise, his words made Sabrina's body tremble with sheer rage. "Bullshit! My family had the least company shares back then, and we needed to pay off these debts before anyone acknowledged our worth. "Why else would I sell cars when I could've enjoyed my life as an heiress? Anyway, it all comes down to your parents' debt from back then. We've already paid back the debt, so it's only natural that you pay us back."Felix inhaled deeply, suppressing the blazing flames in his chest. He feared he would rip the two women to shreds if he unleashed his rage.These relatives of his had gotten a share of the company back then, yet they were now shamelessly doing this. "Mark my words. Don't blame me for taking extreme measures if you dare come to our house again."Jolene spoke up when Felix turned on his heel

    "We're all involved in this industry. Plus, I'm here to join in the fun today. Please forgive me for the intrusion." Jordan kept a low profile, causing everyone to applaud him more enthusiastically. Of course, he ended up sitting at the first table in front.That said, his smile dropped once he saw Felix."Mr. Lowell, I hope you won't think I'm being immature and foolish for saying this—but shouldn't Avesburgh's Traditional Medicine Association have stricter guidelines when accepting new members in the future?"Simon, who had also sat down, furrowed his brows in confusion. "What do you mean, Dr. Hall?"Even an idiot would understand the situation after seeing Jordan viciously sneer at Felix. "To my knowledge, this Felix guy is a doctor from the countryside. His medical skills are mediocre, which we can ignore, but he sometimes scams people! "I fear Avesburgh's Traditional Medicine Association's reputation will be damaged if people discover such a person can join your associatio

    Felix strolled down the street and had unknowingly arrived at a downtown area. There, he saw a woman in her 30s. Her eyes were red and swollen as she actively spoke with people who passed by. "Miss, do you have the ametrine blood type? What about you, sir? Do you have ametrine blood?"Alas, her efforts were unsuccessful. Passersby who were nice would reply, "No." As for those who had fouler tempers, they treated her like she was a lunatic. Some even shoved her away. Even so, the woman continued her task of asking around for that specific blood type. Felix could tell the woman likely hadn't slept for several days from her haggard appearance. "Sir, do you have the ametrine blood type?" She stopped Felix in his tracks to ask the same question."Is someone in your family ill and needs to have extra blood in case of transfusions?" Felix replied. It was the first time someone had asked her a question in response. Her gaze was bleak and devoid of hope. Yet, she wanted to vent her em

    A smile appeared on Felix's face as he said, "There's no need for that. Knowing your good character, you'll surely raise your daughter to become someone who can contribute to her country well. That'll be the best repayment."At the same time as he left, a woman stood before a huge floor-to-ceiling window in a room elsewhere. The view of her figure from behind alone was enough to make one's imagination go wild.Someone entered the room and spoke up at once. "Miss, we've just received news that the DNA you've been searching for has been found in one of Avesburgh's hospital's databases."The woman didn't look back at the former, nor did she turn around. Only her slight chuckle filled the air. "Is that so? It seems that when there's a will, there's a way." "But, miss, even the Zeller family has given up. Why are you still putting in so much effort to search for it?"After a brief silence, the woman's voice rang out again. "He's my fiancé, after all. Wouldn't he find his life a little

    "Dr. Cane," Felix greeted Wesley with a smile. Although they had never met before, the fact that Felix appeared at this specific time meant that he was undoubtedly the apprentice of the miracle doctor. "You're even younger than I imagined." Even Wesley was careful to speak in a respectful tone when he addressed Felix. The first reason was because Felix was the miracle doctor's apprentice. Secondly, Felix's medical skills were indeed superior to his own, so he had no right to be resentful. The miracle doctor had only taken on this one apprentice throughout the years. This spoke volumes about Felix's talent. Felix said, "Let's focus on saving the patient." Wesley didn't notice that his own apprentice was standing frozen on the spot. He led Felix into a bedroom, where a woman and a month-old infant were present. "Dr. Zeller, this child is my great-grandson. He was born without innate energy, and I truly have no way to help him." It turned out that the child was lacking in in

    Many people breathed a sigh of relief at this response. For some reason, no one wanted to see this young man rise to power. Finnley, who had returned to his seat, turned ashen with anger, but he knew there was nothing he could do about it. If he had not gone to beg for mercy earlier, Felix could have used that favor to destroy the Walsh family today.Nala's expression softened upon seeing this. She believed the man she had abandoned should quietly live an ordinary life rather than rise so powerfully that even she felt threatened. "You've told the truth, and I'll keep my promise. Yvonne can now make her own choices in pursuing happiness, and I won't interfere anymore," she stated.It was exactly the answer Felix was waiting for. With so many witnesses present, Nala would not dare risk her reputation by breaking her word. "Take care of yourself, Yvonne," Felix said, glancing at her before leaving, with Vivian and Christie following suit as their business was concluded.Outside t

    Felix turned to face Nala, who met his gaze with fierce determination. Just when everyone thought the conflict was over, Nala's intervention brought a deafening silence to the room. Everyone knew Nala's significance—not just for her mysteriously powerful family background, but for her own commanding presence. Her willingness to challenge both Moonshadow and Dragon Alliances spoke volumes about her authority.Felix retorted, "I've been more than reasonable today. Yvonne is safe, and your deal with the Walsh family stands. Don't push your luck, Lady Nala!"The crowd gasped. In all of Dragonia, Felix was the first to dare speak to Nala so brazenly in public. Even Nala, known for her composure, could not hide the icy anger in her glare. Felix continued, "Yvonne remains yours. I only want to ensure you'll never treat her as a mere tool again. Is that so difficult? Answer me!" Nala was about to respond, but Felix stepped closer. Even though he had lost his martial abilities, his

    As they looked at Felix again, everyone felt his presence seem more towering and commanding, inspiring an almost reverential awe. His ability to summon the support of two major powers was unprecedented. George and Ryan remained dumbfounded, their previous misconceptions about Felix shattered by this stunning revelation. Meanwhile, Dominic swallowed his pride with remarkable speed. There was no doubt that his adaptability was what led the Walsh family to such heights.He said smoothly, "Ah, Mr. Zeller, surely there's been a misunderstanding. If I had known about your connection to Ms. Cooper, I would never have agreed to this marriage!" He laughed nervously, aware that the room understood his abrupt change in tone. Nonetheless, with Dragon Alliance and Moonshadow Alliance backing Felix—not just in name but with their most influential figures present—Dominic knew he could not win. Even if the Walsh family exhausted every connection, their do

    The moment Vivian spoke, all eyes turned to her, each gaze filled with shock and disbelief. The thought that she might be supporting Felix seemed unbelievable at first, but as she moved to stand beside him, reality sank in. "Milady, w-what does this mean?" Dominic stammered, confused. He was under the impression that Vivian was here as their honored wedding guest."Today, Dragon Alliance will fully support Felix," Vivian declared firmly.A collective gasp swept through the crowd. If there had been any doubt about Vivian's stance before, it was now crystal clear—she had not come for the Walsh family's wedding at all, but to back Felix.At this moment, everyone wondered who Felix was and what he had done to command such an unwavering alliance from the Dragon Lord herself. After all, it was clear from her statement that there would be no compromise."Yvonne, come here," Felix called out.Yvonne stood frozen, hands covering her mouth in disbelief. Even though she knew of Felix's c

    The moment Finnley spotted Felix, he stood up and reprimanded him loudly. As the younger generation, any disrespect from Finney might be forgiven, but Dominic had to maintain composure, especially now.A gentle breeze swept through, and the security guards stumbled backward several steps. Only then did everyone notice the elderly man standing two steps behind Felix—Seven, the head of Flair, founded by Averill.Without even lifting a finger, Seven had repelled the guards, showcasing an immense power that left the crowd in stunned silence. George and Ryan tensed up as they watched Felix's bold entrance. With influential figures like Christie and Vivian present, not to mention the other distinguished guests, they worried about how this situation would resolve.Yvonne's heart was in turmoil. She had not expected Felix to come, let alone with such determination to take her away. Though she longed to run into Felix's arms and live on her own terms, she knew it was not that simple. Nal

    As time passed, the guests took their seats, awaiting the start of the ceremony. The Walsh family had opted for two wedding ceremonies. This was a grand one, meant for a bigger crowd, including friends and business associates. An intimate ceremony was planned for three days later, inviting only their close family members. It was a testament to the family's penchant for elaborate customs.At the front tables, Christie sat on the left and Vivian on the right, commanding everyone's attention. Sharing the table with them was none other than Nala, a clear indicator of her elevated status within this gathering. "What should we do? We still can't find Mr. Zeller, but surely he's heard the news by now. He can't act rashly!" Ryan mumbled anxiously, still feeling guilty about lying during the Eastern Mountain incident."Mr. Gibson, what's the point of worrying? Can we really influence his decisions?" George glanced at Vivian's table with a bitter smile, knowing she could be the wild card i

    The woman appeared to be in her 40s, yet possessed an ageless elegance. Her gentle smile had an almost magical quality that could lift anyone's spirits, making even the gloomiest thoughts vanish instantly.Her presence alone radiated an almost magnetic charm, the kind that was impossible to ignore."Welcome, milady. The Walsh family is deeply honored by your presence," Dominic said as he approached, his voice trembling slightly. He could barely imagine how this day would elevate their family's social standing.The woman smiled gently and said, "I'm Christie Manning, the third-generation Master of Moonshadow Alliance. Forgive me for intruding."Her voice was mesmerizing, rich, and melodious, weaving its way into the minds of everyone present. Many men in the crowd were visibly entranced, their expressions dazed. It was as if her words had struck a chord deep within their souls. Standing nearby, Nala felt a pang of disappointment flicker across her features. She was hoping it mig

    After delivering this news, Dominic hurried away, leaving Nala standing there in disbelief. She mumbled, "Did he say… the Grandmaster of Moonshadow Alliance?"Beside her, Alfie's eyes widened with shock. "If I heard correctly, yes, miss. That's exactly what he said." Alfie understood Nala's astonishment. Moonshadow Alliance's Grandmaster was even more mysterious than Dragon Alliance's founder. While some had at least glimpsed Eloise's silhouette, no one knew anything about Dahlia.Moreover, Moonshadow Alliance had maintained its supreme position for years. Their power was evident at the recent Avesburgh auction of the Miracle Card, where a single bid from them had silenced all other potential buyers. And now, their elusive leader was attending Michael's wedding."Let's go!" Nala rushed toward the entrance, determined to uncover what made this wedding so unique that it could attract two of the most powerful figures players in their world.Ryan and George had also received the news

    After Yale's disappearance, Nala had abandoned her original plans. With the recent appearance of the founder's attendant, Dragon Alliance had regained its former glory, and no one dared to challenge their authority.At the entrance of the Walsh residence, Dominic arrived just as a sleek black executive sedan pulled up. Nala recognized the two figures who stepped out first—both the vice leaders of Dragon Alliance, whom she had met before.The fact that the vice leaders were opening the car door could only mean one thing—the Dragon Lord was here. Understanding the gravity of the situation, Dominic had already instructed security to clear away unnecessary guests."Welcome to Michael's wedding. Dragon Lord, Your presence brings great honor to the Walsh family," Dominic said earnestly. This unexpected visit would undoubtedly elevate the Walsh family's status even higher than their planned alliance with Nala.Vivian nodded in acknowledgment before heading inside, with Dominic carefully
