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

"It really is you, Dr. Zeller," Elliott said. Jed stood dumbfounded. How did this random Dragonian martial artist know Elliott?Elliott might not have been a big deal himself, but his mentor was legendary. That was why nobody dared to disrespect him."My sincere apologies for the trouble, Dr. Zeller." That one demonstration from Felix had completely won Elliott over back then, which explained his respectful demeanor. "Jed, come apologize!" Jed complied immediately in fear. After all, his future depended on Elliott's good graces.Once they settled in a room with coffee, Felix asked, "You're conducting human experiments here, aren't you?"Elliott pondered before responding, "My mentor always said the most skilled Dragonian traditional medicine practitioners were also martial artists. Seeing you easily defeat Jed proves that point. I'm sure you noticed he isn't ordinary, right?"Seeing Felix nod, he continued, "Yes. We're doing biochemical human trials, but I can't disclose more

"You'll show me what a Dragonian martial artist can really do?" Jed scoffed to himself. How scary could it be? If Felix didn't know Elliott, Jed would show him what his transformed state could do.The next moment, Felix threw a casual palm strike into the air. A thunderous explosion followed, blasting a hole in the wall big enough for a car to drive through. Jed and Elliott stood wide-eyed while the armed guards gaped in disbelief.This had to be a joke! How could any human do this? How could a palm strike from 200 feet away cause such destruction?The wall contained reinforced metal, so even an RPG could not breach it. Only a tank stood a chance. Yet, Felix had just demolished it with pure human strength."There are quite a few martial artists like me in Dragonia, some even stronger." Felix left them with that thought before getting in the car. He had exaggerated a bit for intimidation. Truth be told, his power level was rare even in Dragonia.Jed gulped at the sight. His s

A cold glint flashed in Felix's eyes. "Did you find out where John lives?"Luna nodded but looked helpless. "I did, but May mentioned he hasn't been home for months. She learned this by chance, so she has no idea where he's staying now."Months? Felix frowned and wondered if he had been doing that since the lab incident. This bastard John was paranoid enough to abandon his own home. Was he that scared of dying?John spent money and connections just to watch airports, even here in Guneria. He was certainly a crafty old fox. "I know some people here. Do you want me to ask around?"Felix waved it off. "No need. John's too influential here, so your contacts might alert him."He had already investigated Wealthhealth Pharmaceuticals. It was a major corporation in Guneria, and with John's connections, he was thriving here. Without absolute certainty, any investigation could tip him off and make him flee to another country. Felix had considered asking Elliott's help but decided agai

John's face changed when he heard Gage's words. He grabbed his desk phone and said, "Get me a ticket out of the country immediately—anywhere except Dragonia!"Gage just smiled silently, making John uncomfortable."To be frank, I'm really terrified. Elders' Council has tried multiple times, yet Felix is simply impossible to kill. His power keeps growing more terrifying. I'm just a coward with no powerful protectors like you. So, this is my only option."Gage nodded. He said with a smile, "We remember your service to the Council. Too bad you crossed into the Grand Elder's most hated domain. Otherwise, you'd have plenty of protection."John sighed helplessly. Business was about profit, so sometimes he couldn't control himself. Besides, how was he supposed to know what the Grand Elder hated?If he had known experimenting on those children would anger the Grand Elder, he would not have touched it no matter what. Though it had advanced his company's pharmaceuticals, losing the Grand Eld

With a wave of his right hand, Felix revealed his true face. He said calmly, "Don't worry, they have no idea it was me."The old man seemed lost in thought for a moment before he finally spoke. ""As far as I know, only a Shadow Mask can achieve such a perfect disguise. Are you sure you're not from that side?" Felix was stunned. How did this old man even know about the Shadow Mask?The elderly man continued, "No wonder when our bodies made contact earlier, your bone age revealed you were just a young man despite your middle-aged appearance. It was the Shadow Mask all along." Felix was not shocked, knowing that any Blood Realm martial artist could instantly detect bone age through physical contact. This basic skill led the old man to recognize his prodigious talent."You're quite knowledgeable, sir, but I truly am not from that side," Felix stated.The old man sat down and added, "The Shadow Mask is exclusively circulated on that side, with only five existing. Obtaining one is q

Luna watched curiously, unsure of what Felix was doing with the tiny pill in his hand. Felix said casually, "This is one of our Dragonian medical techniques—just watch."He crushed the pill in his hand, turning it into fine powder, which he sprinkled over the fake Dragonspine. This pill, known as the Windseeker Pill, was something he had crafted himself using a recipe from Gerald's medical texts.It was designed for tracking, working in pairs—one part would be used on a person or object, while the second acted as the locator.Felix was not entirely confident it would work since this was his first time using it. After applying the powder, he produced the second pill, which began to roll forward in his palm as if pointing the way. "Let's go. Drive in that direction," Felix instructed.Luna was amazed by the display and could not hide her amazement. "Dragonia is really something. There's no wind or force here, but the pill's moving all by itself."Felix continued giving directions

"Just sit tight for a bit. I'll be right back," Felix said before quickly heading off.Yasmin was a Martial God with the strength to protect herself, so Felix felt comfortable leaving her there. He slipped into the restroom, and finding it empty, he donned the Shadow Mask, transforming into a blond, middle-aged man.The store's unusual nature worked to his advantage—there were no surveillance cameras, making it the perfect setup for his plan. The room he needed to reach was on the second floor, heavily guarded by over a dozen men armed with pistols, their safeties off and ready to fire.Nonetheless, this was no challenge for Felix. He burst into the room, a wave of energy knocking out three of the men he had seen earlier stepping out of the SUVs.The only man still standing caught Felix by surprise. The man shouted as he attacked, "You're dead!" Felix prepared to strike but suddenly froze, his brow furrowing as the seven Dragonspine fragments in his body began to resonate. It mea

Yasmin followed Felix's command immediately, sensing the urgency in his tone even though he had not explained why. They tailed two black Cadillac SUVs for about 30 minutes until they reached a remote area, which was not uncommon in Guneria. Then, four people in dark clothing emerged from the vehicles and entered a building, one of them carrying a black briefcase. Anxious and consumed by thoughts of the Dragonspine, Felix did not think much and just asked Yasmin to drop him off near the establishment. "Ms. Qualls, you can head back now," he said.Two imposing security guards stood at the entrance, immediately stopping Felix. One of the guards gruffly stated, "Entry requires a pair—one male, one female—and it's 500 dollars per person. Can't you read the sign?" Without bothering to check the sign, Felix rushed back to Yasmin, who had not left yet. "Ms. Qualls, would you mind accompanying me inside? This place has some weird rule that requires a man and a woman to enter."Yasmin ap

Yasmin said, "Dr. Zeller, I know it's a lot to ask. If it's too troublesome, we can forget about it."Felix was about to refuse immediately, but the mention of Wealthhealth Pharmaceuticals piqued his interest. Since the vice president was involved, he thought he might be able to infiltrate the company and find John after disguising himself. "Sure, I've got nothing else going on anyway," Felix agreed, which made Yasmin beam with joy as she repeatedly thanked him.At that moment, Felix decided to tell Yasmin that his current identity was inconvenient once they reached the restaurant. After donning the Shadow Mask, he could dine as another medical expert without issues. However, just as they parked the car and Felix was about to speak, his phone buzzed with a text from an unknown number."Felix, it's John Reynolds. I know you're in Guneria, and I know how desperately you've been trying to find me. Here's your chance—come to this location tomorrow night. Of course, I'll und

Yasmin stood speechless. She had never seen Linda smile like this before."After you left, I did a lot of thinking! I love him deeply, and now, I know he still loves me. Since I'm already affected, I can hold his hand without worry now, right, Dr. Zeller?"At that moment, Pierre broke down as he sobbed uncontrollably."Linda, are you absolutely sure about this?" Since their clasped hands were behind them, Yasmin could safely offer her counsel. Linda nodded, kissing Pierre's cheek. "Yes, Yasmin. I'm certain! Though it's unbearable, I'm okay with it. Having Pierre by my side is enough. "After experiencing love this deep, I doubt I'll ever find someone who loves me this much again."Pierre pulled away from her and donned his gloves. Then, he cupped Linda's face, giving her a gentle kiss. "Linda, I'll love you forever, but I don't want you remembering the man who hurt you."He moved lightning-fast. As he pulled out a small axe, he swung it toward his left wrist."No!" Despite bei

Just one glance at Pierre's hands had frozen a Martial God like Yasmin. That just showed how terrifying Fish Men at higher levels had to be.The mutation rarely passed down in the Lannerby family. Sometimes, entire generations were skipped. Pierre's father's generation had none, yet Pierre inherited it.His family sent him abroad for protection. Despite the prevalence of guns, Pierre's abilities kept him safer here than in Dragonia. The "Fish Man" title had been passed down through the Lannerby bloodline since ancient times. Their reputation as the Thief Guild's nemesis was one-sided—their power affected everyone, not just thieves.Felix realized the Fish Men had been holding back. Thief Guild believed touch was necessary, but mere eye contact at their scaled hands sufficed. Those with purple scales and above had full control over their powers.The Lannerbys' vendetta traced back generations. People from Thief Guild had stolen something precious, creating a blood feud. The Lanner

Though Pierre remained silent, his wide eyes confirmed Felix's suspicions."You're causing harm to others at such a young age instead of doing good deeds. Linda is suffering while you paint comfortably here. Don't you know what you've done?"At Linda's name, Pierre broke down in tears. "It wasn't intentional! I swear! I... I just wanted to touch the skin of the person I loved. Is that so wrong?"Then, his voice rose to a shout. "Did I choose what family I was born into? I'd rather be normal than have these disgusting hands!"Felix helped Pierre's gloves back on and signaled Yasmin to turn around. She immediately launched into him. "So, you knew what would happen when you touched Linda, yet you did it anyway?"Pierre wept harder. "No! I didn't know until afterward. I'd never have touched her if I knew. I love Linda enough to die for her. How could I possibly hurt her?"After checking Pierre's pulse, Felix shook his head. "Early on, one scale would have sufficed. Now we need both

"I can't ask him to meet me. He hasn't blocked me but won't respond to messages or calls. But I know where he lives. He's a painter, so he barely leaves his house," Linda said. Things would be perfect if he were still around. "Give me the address. Yasmin and I will go. You stay home and wait for our news."After sharing the location, Linda added quietly, "Dr. Zeller, you won't hurt him, will you?"Yasmin covered her face in exasperation. Even after what he had likely done, Linda was still worried about him. Love really did make people hopelessly blind."Wake up, Linda! Dr. Zeller's here to treat you, not hurt people! I'm the one who won't let Pierre off easy. Say one more word, and I might slap some sense into you!"Hearing Yasmin's threats, Linda fell silent. In the car, Felix smiled. "Ms. Qualls, you're quite perceptive."One sentence cleared Felix of responsibility while hinting at Pierre's fate. No wonder her father trusted her with Qualls Pharmaceutical at such a young ag
