Leo was shaking with rage, his whole body trembling as he pulled out his phone."Alright! Keep acting tough! You said my uncle bows to you, right? Fine! You're dead! No one's going to save you now!""Let me make the call."Before he could dial, Felix had already beaten him to it. He pulled out his phone and dialed a number, putting it on speaker."Yes, Felix," a woman's voice answered on the other end. "Do you have a cousin with the last name Mitchell?" Felix asked casually. "He seems pretty full of himself. I'll leave the rest to you—I don't want to see him again."Cousin? Wendy's voice suddenly grew cold. "Leo Mitchell! Is that you?"In an instant, the once-arrogant Leo turned into a meek kitten. "Wendy? Is that you?""Who else would it be? Haven't I told you to never mess with anyone named Felix? What? Did a horse kick you in the head, or have you gone deaf?"Leo swallowed hard, his eyes filled with fear. Wendy had indeed warned him, but how could he have known that some

Felix paused and turned to look at Carson."You're saying you have something I need?"Carson swallowed nervously, knowing this was his last card to play."That's right. I have your parents' photo album—the one from when they were young. It's in my possession. "Felix, I'm begging you. For the sake of family, let us off this time. I'll return the album to you untouched, I swear."Felix smiled at the mention of that.He chuckled softly. "The photo album? Keep it. Instead of using it as a bargaining chip, why not look through it yourself? Maybe it'll remind you of the people who helped you get to where you are today."Carson's face went ashen. Who could have imagined that the "worthless" Felix, who disappeared for three years, would return with such power? The wealthiest man in the city, Kane—any one of them could crush the Zeller family without a second thought, yet they all treated Felix with respect. But too bad there was no cure for regret in this world.…On his way home

Callum appeared somewhat surprised and then turned his head, calling out, "Hugo, come here and explain what's going on."To Warren's surprise, Hugo was there, too. He felt a sinking feeling in his gut. Out of all the connections he had, the most influential person he could reach was Thomas. The others wouldn't even get the chance to step through the door, let alone strike up a conversation with Callum. Sure enough, Hugo walked up to Warren, who had just started to stand. Without any warning, Hugo kicked him squarely in the chest, sending him stumbling back. His face was icy as he said, "Warren? I gave you a chance, didn't I? I said by sunset, and clearly, you failed to deliver. Just wait—within a week, your company will be done for."Even Thomas hadn't expected Hugo to act so brazenly, completely ignoring his presence. Warren was, after all, his guest, and in normal circumstances, even the most disrespectful people would think twice before acting out in front of their host."E

Early in the morning, Felix was leisurely strolling through the park in Tabiner Bay, breathing in the fresh air. After a short walk, he paused. His attention was caught by an elderly man who was standing nearby. Beside the old man was a beautiful woman, and a middle-aged man stood a few steps behind them."This old man."Felix studied the elderly man for a moment, hesitating before he finally decided to approach."Grandpa, what do you think of Tabiner Bay?" the woman asked, her bright eyes sparkling. The old man nodded approvingly as he looked around. "It's nice and peaceful. It's a good place to spend my retirement. But, ah… There's no place quite like home."The woman smiled, her eyes full of affection. "There's even a fishing area here. I think it's perfect for you, Grandpa! But I won't have much time to visit you if you stay here. Are you sure you don't want to live with us?"Just as the old man was about to respond, a voice interrupted, "Excuse me, sir."Felix had approa

"Grandpa! Is what he's saying true? How could that be possible?" Sherlyn Holt gasped in disbelief.The old man let out a bitter smile and nodded. "Yes, Sherlyn. Around midnight every night, I've been suffering from severe abdominal pain. I've had my medical team and a few highly regarded doctors examine me privately, but none of them could find the cause. "Since I wasn't experiencing any other issues, I didn't want to worry you, so I kept it from you."After revealing this, his expression grew thoughtful. "I never thought that I would encounter such a young master healer here in Avesburgh at my age. It seems fate is being kind to me."Jairo and Sherlyn were stunned and speechless. How could they believe that Felix, whom they had initially dismissed as a charlatan, was now being hailed as a master healer?"Sherlyn, apologize to him."Taking a deep breath, Sherlyn walked over to Felix and apologized respectfully, "I'm sorry for my rash behavior earlier. Please, forgive me and he

Not long after Felix returned home, the doorbell rang. To his surprise, it was Yvonne, the woman he had met at the cemetery. Felix couldn't help but feel a bit suspicious. Was she following him?Still, he opened the door and stepped outside.Yvonne stood there holding a gift box, her face showing clear surprise when she saw Felix. "Felix? You live here?"Felix nodded. "Yeah. Why do you look so shocked?"Pointing to the villa next door, Yvonne smiled. "What a coincidence! I just moved to Avesburgh and needed a place to stay. A friend recommended Tabiner Bay, and I thought I should introduce myself to the neighbors. I never expected it to be you!"Felix laughed at the unlikely twist. "Well, now that you know it's me, there's no need to bring any gifts."Yvonne's genuine personality was becoming more evident to Felix, and he realized that Phillip's support of her years ago hadn't been shortsighted."Honestly, I'm a bit envious," Yvonne admitted with a playful smile. "You've g

"That bastard, Felix! You invited him to dinner, and he's over 20 minutes late!" Belle complained angrily.Xena, however, remained calm. "It's fine. He has his reasons for being upset. But if he can't even handle this, it only confirms what I've always thought of him—he won't achieve much."After a pause, something seemed to cross her mind. "Have we heard anything from Joe?"Belle shook her head. "No. We haven't been able to reach him. I don't know what's going on with him. He just disappeared without a word. It's strange."Jordan's sudden and unexpected disappearance was weighing on Xena's mind. She knew why he had returned to Avesburgh—he was clearly trying to pursue her again. But for him to vanish just days later didn't add up."Never mind. If we can't contact him, there's no use worrying. He might have his reasons."At that moment, the door to the private room opened, and Felix finally walked in."Felix! Do you even know what time it is? Who shows up this late?" Belle shout

Callum didn't take Wendy's warning seriously at all. "Let it be. It's time you both met some of the connections my father has. Maybe this will help spark some chemistry between Hugo and Wendy," he muttered confidently. He knew very well what gave Wendy her confidence—Felix's connection to Kane. But could Kane really dominate all of Avesburgh? The answer was obviously no.…Meanwhile, night had fallen at Tabiner Bay, and Wendy was sitting on the couch in Felix's villa, her face tense."What brings you here tonight?" Felix asked, genuinely curious. He knew her visit wasn't about the herbs this time."Felix, I'm sorry," she said suddenly.Her unexpected apology made him frown. "What do you mean?"For Wendy to show up personally, Felix knew it had to be something significant."It's about Hugo. I couldn't stop him, and now, he's made his move. I only just found out when my father and I went to talk with his father, Callum. Unfortunately, it didn't help. They seem to be relying on

"Felix, don't worry! You're on an official mission to Martial City. That scoundrel is an unexpected problem, but I'll ensure your safety," the Protector reassured Felix as he handed Felix two tokens.The Protector explained, "The red token is essential for entering and leaving Martial City. Without it, no one can safely pass through the barriers. Each token only works once before turning to dust, so guard it carefully. They're extremely rare and valuable, even within Martial City." Felix nodded in understanding as he accepted the tokens, but his attention was drawn to the yellow one. It was round and slightly mysterious."The yellow token wasn't something I originally planned to give you," the Protector continued. "It's not ideal for your growth, but given what just happened, I want to ensure your safety above all else.""If that old man from the Elders' Council comes after you again, don't hesitate to crush this token. Someone will come to your aid immediately."Felix was unsure

"Wait over there. They won't dare touch you," Felix told Xena while maintaining a calm expression as he faced the six Council Elders.In the past, he might have been less confident against these formidable opponents. Each of them was strong enough to challenge those above their level, which was precisely why they had earned their positions as Council Elders.Having dealt with Gage before, Felix knew his cunning and temperament were terrifying. All that made him an exceptionally dangerous adversary."Felix, are you sure about this?" Xena asked worriedly, wondering how the Elders' Council dared to act so boldly and who this Grand Elder was that could hold off the Protector."Just go," Felix replied, his tone firm.Gage took a step forward, his expression cold. "I know you're keeping your cool because you have the Lone Paragon on your side, but relying on something like that won't change your fate." Felix smirked. "Skip the speech. You chose this location because you plan to hide i

"Let's go," Xena said.After getting off the plane, Felix got into a car with Xena behind the wheel. She was driving herself, with no one else accompanying them."In the backpack, you'll find everything you need for Martial City. I'll explain each item as you take them out," she said.Felix grabbed the backpack from the back seat and opened it, finding only a few items inside.Xena explained, "This phone only works in Martial City. Due to the barriers, it can't connect to satellites, but it works perfectly within the city. It's unregistered too, so you don't need to worry about being tracked."The device was more of a chunky block than a modern phone. It had an archaic feel and a tiny screen that did not support video calls or other advanced features."What's this card?" Felix asked as he pulled out another item—a card that looked like an emerald-green bank card. The only difference was that it appeared to be made of emerald, with elegant swirls of pale green throughout."That's

Felix felt a chill ran down his spine when Billy said he was haunted."A master practitioner has cursed you," Billy explained between bites. "They're so skilled that I couldn't even sense it when you first walked in."Felix checked himself but felt nothing unusual. "I feel fine, though. What kind of curse are we talking about?"Instead of answering right away, Billy casually continued eating. "There are many types of curses, both in Dragonia and abroad. From what I can tell, this is the work of a foreign expert."He paused to take another bite, then added, "These masters are especially dangerous. All they need is something you keep close to you, and they can attack you remotely. From the looks of it, they've already started." Felix jumped up in alarm. "Stop joking around! I don't feel anything, and the Dragonspine isn't even reacting!"Billy smirked. "That's because your soul is unusually strong. What's strange, though, is how much it's grown in such a short time. I mean, the th

Time flew by quickly, and the one-month deadline was suddenly upon them. Xena would come for Felix tomorrow, making this his last night in town. There was no grand farewell party since he had already said his goodbyes to everyone. Ronan and Melissa were getting along well, planning to travel the world together after Felix's departure. From the looks of it, they were not far from making their relationship official.Felix definitely approved of this match, as Ronan was a genuinely good person. The man was honest and reliable, someone worthy of trust. As for Jack and the others, they had called to say they would be laying low for a while, which had become somewhat routine by now.That night, Felix and Billy were sitting in Floral Wreath Boutique, where a few dishes and bottles of wine were on the table."Honestly, eating and drinking in a place like this gives me the creeps," Felix said, glancing around.Billy waved him off, unconcerned. "You're overthinking it. Look at me—am I not

"Ha! I can't believe you actually got up! Think you can handle it?" Averill doubled over with laughter.Karina was also chuckling, and Felix finally realized they had been teasing him. He shook his head and said, "Alright, you two, enough with the jokes."…The next day, Felix met with Kayden, the powerful Fish Man, on the outskirts of Gray City."Here's the Twin Fish Cauldron. I trust everything is in order?" Felix asked, and after carefully examining the artifact, Kayden smiled with satisfaction."Indeed, this is the genuine Twin Fish Cauldron. You truly delivered on your promise," Kayden confirmed.Felix understood why someone as powerful as Kayden had been hesitant to retrieve it himself—he feared the founding master of Skyward Guild. "And here's your Dragonspine," Kayden said as he handed over the item, making Felix smile. It was refreshing to have a straightforward exchange without any hidden agendas.…That evening, Melissa executed Shane, the imprisoned Fish Man. She

Several minutes later, Terry returned, holding a small bronze cauldron. He also brought along two young individuals—a man and a woman."Dragon Knight, this is my disgrace of a son, and that woman is his lover. Everything started because of this little bitch. I'll make things right with you today."As soon as he finished speaking, Terry raised a hand and pointed at the young woman. She collapsed into a pool of blood before she could even react."Please, spare my son's life," Terry pleaded, his voice trembling with desperation.Terry was truly out of options. Even the founder of his guild had given up trying to handle Felix, so what could he possibly do? If Felix continued to grow stronger, Terry knew his own fate would be sealed one random night. "I'm not unreasonable. We'll proceed as you suggested," Felix responded in a measured tone. If not for Xena's warning about outside threats, he might not have been so lenient. Besides, the Skyward Guild's strength made them valuable na

A terrifying aura spread from a distant building, instantly enveloping the entire Skyward Guild. Terry and his followers were overjoyed, knowing their Founding Master had been monitoring the guild's safety even during meditation."How long has it been since someone dared to cause trouble in the Skyward Guild? Such audacity!" A powerful voice echoed across the grounds, brimming with authority. Even without appearing in person, the sheer presence of this unseen force was overwhelming."Felix, you've brought this upon yourself!" Terry snarled through gritted teeth, his injuries making his anger even more palpable.The other guild members began shouting, their earlier caution forgotten. "So what if you're a Dragon Knight? You struck first, and that gives us every right to retaliate. The headquarters won't say a word against us!"Someone else growled, "Do you really think that being at the Boneforging Realm makes you invincible? Wait until you face our Founding Master!" "Mr. Miles g

Terry's only comfort was Felix's status as a Dragon Knight, believing it would keep him in check. However, Stamford could not help but laugh bitterly—how could they expect restraint after sending assassins after Felix?"Terry!" a voice suddenly boomed throughout the Skyward Guild, causing all the training disciples to freeze in curiosity."Who dares to cause trouble in my Skyward Guild?" Terry growled as he vanished on the spot, with Stamford following close behind.When they reached the front courtyard, they found Felix standing there, which immediately dampened their aggressive stance. Terry asked diplomatically, "Ah, if it isn't the honorable Dragon Knight. What brings you to our Skyward Guild?" Felix smirked at the gathered martial arts masters. "Call me Felix or Dragon Knight; I don't care—I'm here for justice."Terry's greeting was not lost on Felix. Using the title "Dragon Knight" was a calculated move to tie him to the headquarters and make things more complicated.
