"I've made up my mind. Let's not talk about it anymore. I'll have lunch with you all at noon, and then, I'll leave," Felix stated.Just as he finished speaking, Billy walked in. "I heard you're leaving?" Felix glanced at Nala, who stood by the door. He guessed that it was Nala who told Billy."Yes. Join us for lunch." Billy sighed. "Well, lunch is fine. But you look horrible. Are you sure you want to leave?"Felix's expression darkened immediately. After what happened in Seapoint, he was really worried when Billy said that he looked horrible. "Don't be so nonsensical," Felix said. Billy shook his head with a sigh. "Forget it. You'll regret it if you don't listen to your old friend. The cause and effect are hard to say. Anyway, I've advised you, so I'm no longer responsible for anything."With that, Felix didn't know how to react before finally calling Billy back with a sigh. "What if I don't leave?"Billy turned around with a chuckle. "See? When you said you don't want to
"I'm sorry, but this isn't a Patek Philippe membership card," the salesman said after looking at the card. He gave Felix a look of disdain. Was Felix making fun of him because of his kindness?However, the middle-aged man's expression changed quickly. He immediately said, "This is the Concord Bank Diamond Card. Hurry up and get your manager over here."What? The Diamond Card of Concord Bank? The salesman rushed off in a hurry. On the side, the man's wife's expression turned into shock. She never would've thought that Felix could actually take out a Diamond Card from Concord Bank. That was definitely a symbol of status. When she thought of how she acted toward him, she felt a little scared."I'm so sorry, sir. My wife didn't know. I hope you can forgive us for offending you earlier."To be honest, the man had cold sweat running down his back. Fortunately, he acted kindly. Otherwise, he would be in big trouble."It's alright. Thank you for your explanation." Felix didn't want
"How about this? I'll give you an answer in a few days' time, okay?" Yasmin didn't dare to question him any more. Since her issue wasn't particularly urgent, she left.After she left, Felix couldn't hold back and immediately began trying to refine the elixir.…After a full night, Felix looked at the pills in his hand. He had a strange expression on his face. Gerald's notes in the medical book mentioned that alchemy was as difficult as going to heaven and wasn't an overnight's work. Besides, he should not be discouraged.But what was the situation now? He had just started, and the success rate was amazing. Except for the first failed pill, all his other trials were successful."Forget it. I'll wait for Mr. Hoffman to contact me, and I'll ask him, then."…Another day passed, and by noon, Felix returned home from the clinic because Xena had come by.In fact, he had been expecting her. The mysterious man had been taken away by the headquarters. Felix figured that after a few
"A Dragonspine?" Felix stood there, totally stunned. "What's going on? Wasn't I supposed to get this after six months of service?" Xena replied with a serious expression,"Now, you understand how crucial this mission is, don't you? They wouldn't have assigned it to you if it wasn't for the fact that Guneria already has intel on most of our elite agents. "Thanks to the Chief Commander's endorsement, they decided to give you the Dragonspine early. It should boost your power significantly, right?" Felix brightened up. "Yeah, absolutely. This definitely improves my chances." Though Xena maintained a poker face, Felix caught the flash of concern in her eyes. He knew she was still wrestling with what happened to Sarah, and she just could not express her feelings to him.But Felix did not press the issue. She needed to figure this out on her own, or it would all be a waste.…As sunset approached, the headquarters sent over the Dragonspine. The fact that Hector personally delivered
As the leader of Skyward Guild, Terry did not even bother to look up as he spoke, "Go back to your training. This isn't your concern." The young man gritted his teeth, clearly unsatisfied. "I know you're wary of his Dragon Knight status, but my sources just confirmed Felix went to Guneria. Even though he booked under different names, my people were good enough to track him." Terry opened his eyes with a dissatisfied look. "You've wasted too much time obsessing over that woman. Fine. I'll grant you this last request. After that, focus on your training. It's quite embarrassing how you haven't even reached Martial Saint level at your age." The young man brightened up. He thought, "Felix, your Dragon Knight status might protect you back home, but you're nothing overseas. Thomas, I'll finally avenge you." Terry had also been frustrated with the situation. He could not touch Felix since he had both Dragon Knight status and evidence against Patrick's death. Any conflict would only hur
"Luna, what a coincidence!" Felix approached Luna. Luna was equally surprised to see him here. "Felix? I can't believe you're here, too." The blond man shot Felix a strange look before leaving, which was easier than Felix had expected. "Are you okay?" Felix asked as they sat down. Luna nodded. "I'm fine. Thanks for stepping in." Then, she lowered her voice and said, "That foreigner was strange. The charm Reagan gave me activated, which means he was trying something. He's not normal." Given Felix's connection to Reagan, it made sense that the Starfires would receive such protective items. "Don't worry about it. He was probably just acting on impulse. What brings you to Guneria?" Luna smiled. "It's May! After your treatment, she rushed back home and immediately got tested. She's pregnant! I'm going to celebrate with her."May? She was from Wealthhealth Pharmaceuticals, so this could be useful. Felix had no connections in Guneria. He had planned to search for John alone,
Felix cleared his throat. "Luna, you should head back," he said. Luna was clearly flustered. The suite was cramped, and they were sitting close. The sounds next door were too much for her to handle, too. "Oh... right." She stood up too quickly and lost her balance, landing right in Felix's lap. She felt something pressed against her bottom. Their eyes met as she leaned back, and time seemed to freeze. Instinctively, she kissed him. Though they had not spent much time together, what woman wouldn't be drawn to a man like Felix? He was handsome, capable, and powerful enough to subdue even Reagan. He had captured her heart long ago. The sudden kiss caught Felix off guard. He wanted to push her away, but his hands happened to land somewhere inappropriate. Combined with the constant sounds from next door, everything seemed to naturally progress from there.After what felt like an eternity, Luna stood up, her face crimson. "Luna—" Felix began, but she cut him off.She said, "I k
"Is it because I'm a martial artist? How did he figure that out?" Felix wondered to himself. He got in the car without resistance. In a country flooded with weapons, anyone bold enough to show a gun was surely ready to use it. The submachine guns couldn't hurt him, but gunfire at an airport would draw massive attention. News coverage would follow, which would kill any chance of completing his mission. After all, who wouldn't make headlines after surviving multiple gunshots? "That's more like it," said the blonde man, satisfied with Felix's compliance. At his nod, the van started moving. Two hours later, they had left the city behind as they drove through endless desert, which was typical Gunerian landscape. They continued off-road for another hour before reaching a compound surrounded by high walls. Armed guards at the entrance meant this was no ordinary facility. "You can get out now!" As Felix stepped down, he could not determine the compound's purpose. A dozen gunmen sur
If the government was planning to just attack Hall of Souls with missiles, they must have been seriously pissed off this time.But it made sense. After all, countless people had risked their lives fighting Malevolent Phantoms, while Hall of Souls not only failed to resist but actually conspired with them. That was truly despicable. Felix asked, "But how are you sure what the Black Soul Scout said is true? Even with soul memory extraction, wouldn't you need to verify it?"Xena answered, "Of course. Everyone's worried about hurting innocent people. Our national guardian has already checked a few locations personally. He has confirmed they're definitely Hall of Souls laboratories or bases." The guardian? Felix frowned. "Isn't that overkill? Why not just let the guardian eliminate them all directly?" Xena's voice turned colder. "How could that possibly be as intimidating as missiles? We haven't located the leader of Hall of Souls, Scarlet Lord. That's why we need something that sen
Donna laughed with a teasing look on her face. "What? You only managed to kill one S-tier Malevolent Phantom because you had perfect timing and conditions. Yet, you're acting so confident now." Since Donna was a Malevolent Phantom herself, Felix had to be careful. Felix had no problem with Donna knowing he was at Superior Soul Realm before. But now that he'd jumped up to Ethercore Realm, he had to keep quiet about it since that was something that required soul enhancement. "I know my limits. Or are you saying you don't know the answer, either?" Donna held up one finger before answering, "You're currently at Superior Soul Realm. You'll have to reach Ethercore Realm to be able to fight against an S-tier Malevolent Phantom." Felix was genuinely surprised to hear that, but he played it cool. "Really? Looks like I won't have to run from S-tier Malevolent Phantoms much longer." As expected, Donna snickered and replied coldly, "It might seem like just one level away, but don't you
Though the attack seemed coordinated, everything happened incredibly fast. Felix and Benjamin worked together perfectly, so it took them just over ten seconds to finish off Malachar. Felix felt lucky. Without Francis' soul fragment and Benjamin's help, he would never have killed an S-tier Malevolent Phantom like Malachar. That was a close one. "Benjamin, we got him." Hearing Felix's voice, Benjamin, who had been fighting off exhaustion, smiled before passing out. Just then, the power rebound from the Mystical Explosive Orb surged through him. Felix realized that while Francis' soul fragment was gone, he had sacrificed the valuable Scholar's Arsenal as well. But absorbing the power rebound from an S-tier Malevolent Phantom's soul essence was a pretty sweet deal anyway. As he absorbed it, Felix was completely blown away—though he already knew how powerful S-tier Malevolent Phantoms were. The one he'd run into at Laurel Resort had been falling apart at its soul core, yet its p
Though things had not gone exactly as planned, Felix hadn't grown this far on luck alone. He activated Lone Paragon, which enhanced his soul aspects by unleashing a fourfold boost in combat power. Lumen instantly shot toward Malachar. After exposing his true form, Malachar now had six legs and two antennas on his forehead, though otherwise he didn't look too different."You stupid brat, I can't believe you actually knew I wouldn't spare you!" Malachar grinned like a madman. Having devoured such a powerful soul, he was naturally in high spirits. With a casual wave of his hand, Lumen was knocked back as if hit by a heavy blow, returning instantly to Felix's side. "Benjamin!" This was no time for talk. They needed to take Malachar down before he fully digested Francis' soul fragment. "Having help won't save you. You've underestimated the power of an S-tier Malevolent Phantom." Benjamin had been preparing all along. Right then, he shot his right hand forward in a pointing gest
As the cracks on the stone sphere grew wider, Felix did not waste another second. He activated Soulweave and directed it to the Scholar's Arsenal inside him. Though Felix wasn't their actual owner, his soul consciousness existed within the Scholar's Arsenal. So when he performed the Soulweave technique from the Phaeron Codex, the four soul-bound weapons of the Scholar's Arsenal recognized Felix as their master. A visible vortex of soul energy formed instantly, pulling in the Scholar's Arsenal. Felix felt the Scholar's Arsenal trying to resist. Too bad for them—the Soulweave was already active in Felix's soul. It left them no room for rebellion as they were sucked straight into the vortex. He thought, "Damn it! I can't believe that it drains half of my soul energy." This technique was too costly, so there was no way he'd use it during battle in the future. The Soulweave process varied based on the quality of the soul-bound weapons—minimum three days, maximum nine. Now, he co
When Felix heard that Malachar had arrived, he tensed up. This was his first time being hunted by an S-tier Malevolent Phantom, and instead of fear, he felt incredibly excited. He sprang into action, vanishing into the barren mountain after a few quick jumps. Malachar was moving fast, so there was no time to waste. Arriving at a spot in the valley, Felix was surprised to see dozens of unmarked graves there. They were just small mounds of earth arranged neatly without headstones. What drew his attention was a large oval tomb in the center that was clearly made of stone. Even without a marker, the green stones alone were enough to show it was something special. The call from the Scholar's Arsenal was coming from inside. As Felix approached, a rumbling sound echoed as the oval stone structure split open down the middle. It revealed a pitch-black entrance leading underground. This soul fragment was hidden so carefully. It might actually remain undiscovered for thousands or even t
Donna nodded. Honestly, she herself felt tempted. Devouring such a soul would bring immeasurable growth, so no S-tier Malevolent Phantom could possibly pass up such an opportunity. Donna said, "But Felix, remember this. If that so-called soul fragment wins, it's your problem to deal with. But if Malachar wins, you must finish it off within one minute! "We S-tier Malevolent Phantoms can fully absorb a soul within a minute. You should know exactly how much stronger Malachar would become afterward." Felix gave a cold laugh, not bothering to respond. The moment the battle was decided, Malachar would attack relentlessly in the very next second—Felix would have less than one minute to react. Regardless of who won or lost, this was definitely going to happen no matter what. "By the way, can the Mystical Explosive Orb only capture a Malevolent Phantom's soul essence?" Donna smiled bitterly. "That's how the orb was designed. Thanks for your concern. I know what you're thinking. If the
Throughout Dragonia's history, there had been countless super geniuses whose existence was simply beyond description. What made the Malevolent Phantoms so special? Just because someone was from out of town didn't mean they know better, right? Felix had no idea why he felt so confident about his current plan. "Let's give it a try first." Clearly, no matter how much he tried to convince Donna, she still believed S-tier Malevolent Phantoms were stronger. She was so confident of this because she knew too well what Malevolent Phantoms were like. Before they began, Donna warned him again, "Are you sure he can handle the pressure when I unleash all my soul energy? One wrong move, and his soul will completely collapse." Felix was about to respond, but Benjamin had already answered, "It's fine. Go ahead. If I die from this, then it's what fate intended." Seeing the new look on Benjamin's face, Felix couldn't help but gulp. He felt as if an army of thousands was charging toward him, an
Similarly, after reaching Superior Soul Realm, Felix could use another secret technique from the Phaeron Codex called the Soulweave technique. It wasn't an attack. It resembled something like the Spirit Eye, which was reserved only for support.The Soulweave technique was to merge different soul-bound weapons and turn them into a different weapon. There was a high chance the new soul-bound weapons would surpass the original weapon by at least a level. Of course, there was also the probability of failure and getting nothing from it. The chance of success or failure was never predictable. It was all up to fate.Back when Felix infiltrated Rebirth Sect, he was excited. However, after seeing what the technique did, he almost burst a blood vessel from how frustrated he was. Soul-bound weapons only recognized their owner, let alone anything else.If the owner didn't take the bound away, the weapon would also disappear after its owner's death. So, didn't that mean Felix's new technique w
