Chapter 813

Author: Dreamy Fire
With that roar, Felix finally understood that the monster's target was Nala. He knew he could survive if he abandoned her right now, but how could he do that when she only came to Astoria because of him?

As the distance between them and the creature grew shorter, Nala shouted desperately, "Let me go, or we'll both die!"

Being only at Pulse Realm, she would have been caught immediately if she ran alone. It was also why Felix had been carrying her all this time.

"Shut up!" Felix shouted, his heart racing as he realized they had less than five seconds before the creature would catch up to them.

In a split-second decision, Felix roughly pushed Nala forward and turned to face the charging monster. He commanded, "Run!"

Nala fled with tears streaming down her face, not daring to look back. She knew Felix was buying her time with his life.

The ground shook violently as the surrounding rocks crumbled to dust and trees were ripped from their roots. At that moment, Felix unleashed several p

    "He treats the brush like a sacred relic, which means he absolutely won't allow anyone else to claim it," Felix said, his voice firm.With that, he grabbed the brush in his hand. Instantly, a roar erupted from far away, followed by Alfie's alarmed shout."Damn it! The creature's turning back!"Selmer instinctively wanted to flee, but seeing Felix remain motionless, he did not dare move either. Disobeying his master in such a moment would be nothing short of betrayal."Step back," Felix said, his tone steely. "At this point, I have no choice but to take a gamble!"As the creature rushed back toward them, Felix's suspicions seemed increasingly accurate. If they did not solve this now, Nala would not be the only one dead. In fact, everyone who had come into contact with the brush—himself included—would eventually be hunted down.If this also involved its presence, that might mean Luna and the others were not safe, either."Mr. Zeller, just… be careful!" Selmer shouted, his voice he

    The name Benjamin Stone was entirely unfamiliar to Felix, but he was beginning to piece together the situation. In ancient times, emperors were often called the Sons of the Dragon, and their presence was described as "dragon energy".Felix, with his unique possession of the Dragonspine, could very well radiate such a presence. Was it possible that this man knelt and called him "my liege" because he sensed the dragon energy emanating from the pen?"Stand and speak!" Felix commanded.The strange man obeyed immediately, rising to his feet. His tangled hair fell away, revealing a face marred by dirt and scars. Beneath his grimy exterior, Felix saw the features of a middle-aged man, his eyes cloudy but occasionally flashing with a murderous intensity. It was clear this man had seen countless battles, his energy thick with the bloodlust that only came from waging war—and winning it. Such a presence was impossible to fake. Nala and the others edged closer, curiosity etched across their f

    "We still can't confirm if he's really from the Bronze Age over 2000 years ago," Felix mumbled thoughtfully.Everyone studied Benjamin carefully, finding it hard to believe. Yet, considering that his body had been used for ancient alchemical experiments by the greatest mystics of the time, it was not entirely impossible."I'm sure I'll have a way to verify it once we're back in Dragonia," Felix added confidently.At dawn, Felix and Nala were set to return home while Selmer stayed behind. The plan was for Reagan to gather the Steele family that night, eliminate them all, and then return. They were not worried about the Elders' Council for now, as Felix's betrayal would not be discovered anytime soon."Thank you for everything," Felix said on the private jet, still feeling guilty about the night's events. "Don't mention it. I've already decided to pursue you, so helping you is only natural," Nala replied simply.Felix frowned at her words. "A relationship between us is impossible.

    Felix could not understand why these two had shown up again, especially since his dealings at the Obsidian Auction with the Dragonspine should have left no traces."I won't say it twice," Asher warned, but Aiden ignored him and turned to the woman instead."What seems to be the problem?" Aiden asked, his demeanor commanding respect.Intimidated by Aiden's imposing presence, the woman reluctantly answered, "I have a terrible headache."Aiden snapped his fingers, and his men immediately placed stacks of cash on the table. "Here's 100 thousand dollars. It's all yours—how's your headache now?"The woman excitedly clutched the money to her chest, backing toward the door with a broad smile. "It's gone! The pain is completely gone! Thank you so much!" In the inner room, Melissa felt furious even without seeing what happened. She would have stormed out to confront them if Nala had not held her back."Felix, isn't my way of treating patients faster and more effective than yours?" Aiden

    No one showed Felix where to go, with only Asher standing beside him as they waited for Aiden to return."Felix, don't be so stubborn. You can't fight the inevitable! You should be grateful that Grandma is willing to let you return to the Greene family," Asher urged, but Felix remained silent."If it weren't for Uncle Victor, do you think I'd be this patient with you? Today is your best chance—if you cure Grandma, you'll prove your worth, and no one will oppose your return to the family."When Felix continued ignoring him, Asher finally became quiet. Ten minutes later, Aiden appeared, pushing a wheelchair, followed by over a dozen impressive-looking individuals.Felix studied the elderly woman in the wheelchair. Despite her silver hair, her skin showed remarkably few wrinkles—a testament to decades of careful maintenance. "Grandma, this is Felix Zeller," Aiden announced.Meredith Armstrong, the Greene family matriarch, did not even bother to flash a smile. She said coldly, "Vict

    Aiden made a subtle hand gesture behind his back. He and Meredith knew that someone like Felix, who would not even acknowledge his own father, would never respect the Greene family's authority.They had not really brought him here to treat Meredith's condition—their true intention was to eliminate Felix. The Greene family had always been ruthless—if someone could not be controlled, what was the point of letting them live? This was especially true since Felix carried Greene blood but refused to serve the family's interests.However, Felix's Dragon Knight status complicated matters. Since it was an official position appointed by headquarters, killing such a person would mean directly opposing the organization—something even the Greene family could not afford."What do you think you're doing, Felix?" Aiden asked with a barely concealed smirk. He had deliberately used Felix's friends to provoke him into attacking first, which would give the Greene family legitimate grounds for retal

    "Have you forgotten what I always taught you? The Greene family never fights a battle without certainty. Send an expert to test Felix's abilities first—just testing, mind you, nothing lethal," Meredith instructed.Aiden nodded in understanding. "Yes, Grandma."…At Xena's residence in Yartford, Felix sat silently on the couch until Xena broke the silence. She said, "About your earlier situation, you don't need to worry for now. "While you're on assignment, headquarters will protect your family members, and since you have no acknowledged relatives, this protection extends to your friends."Felix looked up with interest. "Is that really possible?"Xena nodded. "Yes, I've authorized it personally. No matter how powerful they are, the Greene family wouldn't dare openly defy headquarters. "You can rest assured about that. However, how you resolve your conflict with them after the mission is your own business."How to resolve it? Through elimination, of course! Now that his anger h

    While looking into those bright eyes, Felix, who intended to brush things off, finally admitted it. "Yes, it's me."Xena waved her hand dismissively, silently telling him to leave.Felix couldn't figure out what was going on in Xena's mind. He didn't know if Willow's letter affected her.For some reason, Felix felt a sense of relief. He had done what he could—the rest didn't matter.By the time he returned to Gray City, night had fallen. Nala greeted him, "Welcome back. Come eat."The timing was perfect, and Felix didn't question it since he was hungry. "Thank you."After finishing his meal, Felix stopped Nala from doing the dishes. "You gave up everything to be with me. Is it truly out of love?"Nala thought for a moment. "Not entirely. At the very least, I do care about you."Nala was being genuine, that was if she ignored Felix's abilities and his overly protective mother.However, Felix shook his head. "You don't even dare to show me your face. You should leave. There's no

    Felix knew he was not seeing things. The woman knocking on the door was definitely Donna. But considering the Webster family's status in Notura City, why would she have to be in a place like this? Moreover, why would she be meeting with five other people? It made no sense.Questions aside, the moment five people matching the target's age and gender range had gathered, Felix knew it was time to act.Rushing from the surveillance room to a spot just outside Room 303, he immediately activated his Grandmaster Realm's domain. Within this field, he could sense the presence of every living being inside.Malevolent Phantoms had a fixed pattern—they could only consume a person's soul after assuming their form and making physical contact. That meant the Phantom had to be inside the room at some point.Even though Malevolent Phantoms could suppress their energy, they still could not escape the detection of his domain, which he had tested it before.All he needed now was the final person to

    The man said, "Flip the last card. No matter what it is, you'll get at least 500 dollars. If you refuse, I'm giving you a bad review. Do it right now."Since Felix had already fully committed to his food delivery role, he knew just how devastating a bad review could be. There was no choice—he had to play along. He said, "Alright."The hotel suite was filled with six people gathered around a poker table, playing Hold'em. Felix was not an expert but knew enough to understand what was happening.Four community cards had already been revealed—A, A, K, K—and the young man who pulled Felix in was demanding that he flip the final card. Judging by the stacks of poker chips on the table, this was no small bet. Why they were letting a delivery guy reveal the last card was anyone's guess.Felix flipped over the final community card with everyone watching—another Ace. The young man burst into laughter, shouting, "Four of a kind! I got four Aces!"He slammed his cards onto the table, his exc

    Felix had never heard of the title "legendary healer" before. Stacy asked, "Aren't you Mr. Felix Zeller, the legendary healer?"Felix was puzzled. "Yes, I'm Felix Zeller, but I have no idea what a legendary healer is." Stacy suddenly became excited. "Oh, my God! I'm actually standing in front of the legendary healer! Even Mr. Lemuel Morris, the number one master healer, admitted that his skills couldn't compare to yours. "Ever since the title of Miracle Doctor was established, you've been recognized as the strongest master healer alive!"The entire room fell into stunned silence. Even Eunice had never expected that the man she randomly met on a plane was the very same legendary healer who had shaken the entire Dragonia two years ago.No one had ever seen him, and no one knew what he looked like. Yet today, he was standing right in front of them."All that legendary healer nonsense doesn't matter." Felix sighed. He thought Lemuel and the others were really getting caught up

    The girl, Stacy Barnes, looked completely unimpressed, as if Felix's phone call was nothing more than a pointless attempt to save himself from getting embarrassed. In her mind, no matter who he called, he would still end up leaving in embarrassment.On the other end of the call, Silas fell silent for a moment before letting out a bitter chuckle. "Just got back and already swamped, huh? Well, let's catch up when you're free. So, you found out I took in a new apprentice?"Felix raised a brow. "Yeah. What's the story there?"Silas hesitated before sighing. "It just kind of happened. Maybe I was just looking for something to take my mind off Zara."Felix knew how much Silas cared for Zara, and he had no doubt about that. He replied, "Zara's fine. She made it through the worst of it, and she'll be back to full health soon."He had been so busy since returning that he had completely forgotten to update Silas about Zara's condition. When he left Martial City, he had checked in on her—her

    Felix glanced at Eunice, searching for answers. Even with his trained eye, the woman standing before them was an exact copy of Donna—down to the smallest detail. There was not a single difference.However, Eunice looked just as confused. She hesitated for a moment before saying, "Donna, it's me, Eunice."That single sentence ruled out the possibility of a twin. If Donna had a sister, Eunice would have known.Meanwhile, Donna studied them both for a moment. Then, without saying a word, they turned and walked out of the room. Her reaction left Felix and Eunice completely bewildered.She said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zeller. I have no idea what's going on, either."If even Eunice was clueless, that meant something truly bizarre was happening. A strange thought crossed Felix's mind—Malevolent Phantom.Only Malevolent Phantoms had the ability to mimic anyone perfectly, and even Felix, a Grandmaster, could not tell them apart by energy alone. But typically, when a Malevolent Phantom replaced s

    The Webster family of Notura City was not just wealthy—they were power players. But Eunice had only mentioned the part that would pique Felix's interest. In reality, the family's hotel empire was just a fraction of their vast business holdings, which spoke volumes about their status in Notura City.At around 2:40 pm, in the sprawling front courtyard of a massive estate, Eunice stood waiting alongside another young woman as a car was sent to pick up Felix."Eunice, I really appreciate this." The girl beside Eunice had delicate features and gave off a quiet, reserved air. She wore a sporty, casual outfit, her twin ponytails making her look even younger than she was. She was Donna Webster, a direct descendant of the Webster family and the most beloved granddaughter of Albert Webster himself.Eunice replied, "Donna, don't even mention it. Honestly, I just got lucky. Otherwise, I never would've met someone this extraordinary."Donna had already heard stories about Felix's miraculous

    "Malevolent Phantoms!" That was Felix's first thought. What these two women were saying and what they were about to do were all too similar to how Malevolent Phantoms operated.He wondered if the surveillance cameras outside had already been taken out. Then again, that did not quite fit the Malevolent Phantoms' style, though. Besides, it was too reckless just for a meal—there was no real reason for them to take such a risk.Eventually, Felix replied, "Sorry. I'm allergic to oysters."The two women exchanged glances before one of them casually reached for her purse. She pulled out a thick stack of cash, looking to be about 10,000 dollars."Then, eat it. If you actually have an allergic reaction, this money is yours—take it and get out."Felix was surprised, unsure what to make of this. Trying to refuse any longer would only seem suspicious, so he picked up an oyster and swallowed it.Within a minute, red spots began appearing on his neck, and he instinctively reached up to scrat

    Felix went back to work. There were plenty of late-night diners, and even though Yadiel's men were already stationed across the city, nothing beat sheer luck when it came to running into the right target.The A-tier Malevolent Phantoms in Notura City had already killed dozens of people. If they were not taken out soon, they would become a massive problem.…When Felix arrived at a seafood restaurant for a pickup, the staff reminded him, "Take it easy on the ride. This order's not cheap.""What's the address?" he asked.As he turned to leave, he overheard the servers murmuring behind him. "This customer is so weird. We have our own delivery staff, but they insisted on using an outside service instead."Nonetheless, Felix did not care about those. Soon, he reached a five-star hotel and set the order down at the front desk, planning to take a quick glance around before heading out. Just then, the receptionist called out to him."Hey, the guest in Room 1002 specifically requested th

    Ever since Felix learned that the Ancient Sage was actually Gerald's half-brother, he had been feeling conflicted. Yet, for some reason, he could not bring himself to ask Gerald about it—not because he was afraid, but because something inside him hesitated. Now, hearing that Averill also knew about it, he immediately perked up. At least he was not alone in this anymore. He urged, "Averill, hurry up and tell me."Averill flashed a sweet smile. "Aren't we Mr. Hoffman's family? I don't see why you're getting so worked up."Felix was instantly disappointed. But as much as that answer frustrated him, he could not deny the truth in it. Hence, he simply muttered, "Yeah… We are his family."Still, if they were family, then why had Gerald placed seals on all nine of his senior apprentices? What was the reason behind it?"Alright! Enough of small talk," Averill said, stretching lazily. "Eat up, and after dinner, I'm coming over to your place. I've got skills to show off."Felix sighed
