"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
"Dr. Zeller, you can decide on how to deal with him. He brought this upon himself!" Wesley didn't even want to know the details of what happened. If he didn't make his stance clear right now, he himself would get in trouble once Gerald turned up. "Confine him for five years and ban him from stepping out into the world!" Felix left after saying that, leaving Jordan with a bitter smile on his face. The same words Felix had spoken earlier in the morning at the Traditional Medicine Association echoed in Jordan's mind. He hadn't expected Felix's words to come true so quickly, nor did he have a chance to resist. "Mr. Cane, I'm sorry," Jordan said. Wesley patiently listened to Jordan's explanation. Then, he sighed and shook his head. "In the end, it's all because of a woman's charms! Luckily, Felix isn't a ruthless man. If he really wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have been able to protect you, either."What else could Jordan do? He felt nothing but a sense of relief. "Mr. Cane, s
The goddess of war, Xena Summers? Kane was even more confused. What did Xena have to do with this? "My nephew will be coming to Avesburgh in a few days. His goal is to marry Xena," Daniel explained. Kane furrowed his brows. This seemed like a personal matter. How did it involve Dragon Alliance?"Mr. Rush, forgive me for speaking frankly, but I still don't understand." Daniel stood up, as if he already expected Kane's reaction. "I came here just to notify you, as you have the most widespread influence in Avesburgh! My nephew also wants to join Dragon Alliance, but he lacks the necessary qualifications. "However, everything will fall into place once he marries Xena. At that point, Dragon Alliance will rise to a new level with the goddess of war on our side. I'm sure you understand the implications."Daniel turned to Kane. "If my nephew needs help, you wouldn't refuse to lend a hand, would you?" Kane smiled and said, "Of course not. This is a small matter." However, he kep
So many benefits? Sasha hesitated for a moment as she thought of Felix's indifference toward her. Ted continued, "Heh! I know you're worried about Lord Kane. I knew about Felix's connection to Lord Kane a long time ago, but so what? I'm still going to teach him a lesson! Why? Because the backing of the Glover family is something even Lord Kane can't compare to." Sasha's doubts dissipated with his assuring words. The frustration of unrequited love would turn into hatred easily. Moreover, she never had much affection for Felix to begin with. Her recent change of heart was purely due to Kane's influence. Now, even that concern was taken care of. Why wouldn't she take advantage of another prospect with a better opportunity? "Mr. Glover, I'll do whatever you say, but I have one condition. You can't let anything like that night happen again. I'm not a promiscuous woman with loose morals," Sasha said. Ted sneered inwardly. The people he hired this time wouldn't spare a glance at a
Honestly, Yvonne was very pretty. Even though she couldn't compare to Xena, she definitely had Wendy beat. Her figure was incredibly striking, especially when she was dressed head to toe in black."I don't think we've met before."Felix didn't recall ever knowing a woman named Yvonne.He glanced back at the gravestone, and Yvonne's voice turned a little wistful. "My entire four years of college were funded by Mr. Zeller Senior. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was like family to me. He was a good man, always humble about what he did. "I only recently found out who he was. But by then, it was already too late."A college student sponsored by his grandfather? Felix's brows relaxed. It made sense. His grandfather, Phillip Zeller, had always been generous, often helping kids from underprivileged areas. Sponsoring a college student wasn't out of character for him. "You seem to be doing pretty well for yourself now. I'm sure my grandpa would be proud."He walked over, pull
Felix couldn't believe it. He knew Jack's parents. Could they have been so influenced by the different cultures overseas after moving abroad that their mindset had changed? It seemed almost heartless."Let's not dwell on it," Jack said with a dismissive wave. "I may be broke now, but I've still got my skills. I passed the final interview for a new job, and I start tomorrow. Wish me luck, friend."They didn't need a lot of words between them. If Jack ever really needed help, Felix knew he'd come to him, and vice versa. That was just how their friendship worked over the years.But this time, Felix decided he would offer help quietly from behind the scenes. He wanted his friend to move on from the sadness his family had caused him as quickly as possible.Since Jack's first day on the job was the next day, and making a good impression was important, their plans to catch up that night were put on hold for another time.As Felix pulled up to his driveway in front of his villa, ready to
Hugo had the confidence to speak that way because he had the power to realize such a threat. The Lambert family was one of the most prominent families in Avesburgh, only a step behind the Kinsley family, the wealthiest in the city. Shutting down a small business like Warren's would be a simple matter for him.The shock on Warren's and Nattie's faces made it clear that they realized Hugo wasn't joking."Mr. Lambert, are you talking about Felix Zeller?" Nattie asked, lost in disbelief."What? Did I mispronounce something?"Nattie became anxious as Hugo confirmed his own statement. "If you've got a grudge against Felix, take it up with him! What does this have to do with us?"Hugo laughed. "What's this? Still trying to play innocent in front of me? I know exactly what your relationship with Felix is. When you want to take someone down, you hit where it hurts most. If I'm going to deal with Felix, of course I'm going to go after his weakest points."Hugo wasn't like the brainle
From the way Hugo spoke, it was clear that Kane's influence didn't carry much weight here. It seemed unlikely that Felix had any other tricks up his sleeve.…Meanwhile, Felix was standing in the front yard of his villa in Tabiner Bay, his face dark. He was staring at the group of a dozen people gathered just outside the gate."Felix! Pay up!""You finally showed your face! Time to settle your father's debts. It's only right for the son to pay what the father owes.""Damn! You disappeared for three years. Why didn't you just vanish forever?""Enough talking! Pay up already. I'm owed 600 grand. Start with mine!"These people had shown up out of nowhere, flooding in all at once, and not even the security guards could stop them."What gives you the right to come and harass me?" Felix asked, his eyes narrowing in anger.Back when his parents ran their business, they never had significant debts. In fact, they gave money to charity every year. How could they possibly owe money to th
