Moonshadow Alliance? Felix frowned. He had never heard of such an alliance. What shocked him more was that the big shots were chatting loudly about it. Not even a single person discussed it quietly."This is my identity token. It's an identification method of Moonshadow Alliance that all of you know."Bernard turned around. His excitement was shown on his face. "H-Hold on for a moment!"While holding the identity token, Bernard quickly ran down the stage. He seemed to know how to determine whether it was real."Chain, what's Moonshadow Alliance? It seems powerful. Why doesn't anyone question it when the situation is related to the Miracle Card?"Chain, who was next to Felix, had a strange glint in his eyes. He realized that Felix didn't care about the outside world."Moonshadow Alliance is a mysterious alliance. I heard that it's on par with Dragon Alliance. Aside from that, it has always been overbearing. There's more detailed information, but it's kept a secret in our headquart

Standing to each of George's sides was a middle-aged man. Anyone would know that they were both highly skilled martial arts masters. After all, someone from the Zimmerman family would not skimp out on their bodyguards."You're here to seek revenge on me?" Felix mocked.George chuckled coldly. "Seek revenge? Someone like you isn't even worthy of that. I'm just crushing a fly on my way before boarding the plane."Suddenly, loud footsteps were heard. The people next to George were on guard at once. Their eyes were full of suspicion because they didn't actually feel anybody else's presence.However, Felix had sensed them a long time ago. He had thought that they were George's men. But now, he knew that he had been mistaken."That's quite the description. You're referring to yourself as the fly, right?"The footsteps stopped, and a woman appeared in the middle of the living room. She glared icily at George.Immediately, George jumped to his feet. Even Felix had also recognized the wo

"Oh, maybe it's because he thinks I'm not worth his time because even flies are more significant than I am," Felix replied.He couldn't possibly answer that Moonlight Alliance was Dahlia's property, which was the main reason why George ran for his life, could he?"Whatever it is, I'm just glad to know that he didn't come here to continue causing any trouble for you."It still didn't quite make sense to Yvonne, but the outcome was what was most important to her anyway."Since you're alright, I'll be going back, then," Yvonne said.Truthfully, Yvonne had already developed feelings for Felix. After all, during their parents' time, it was common for people to first get married before falling in love with each other. Of course, it was impossible for her not to develop any feelings for Felix after sleeping together once and occasionally spending time together like this.However, Felix was Xena's fiancé, so whatever Yvonne did, she didn't dare to harbor any hopes for their relationshi

Felix hung up immediately after that. Xena got so mad that her eyebrows shot up at once."Fuck you, Felix! Are you telling me what to do?"However, when she thought of the fact that Seth would soon be coming in two days, she managed to calm down afterward.Xean went downstairs and retrieved the encrypted laptop the headquarters had provided her with. Then, she went into the database.She was able to search up information on each of the chiefs from Dragon Alliance. She didn't want to appear ignorant when she went to meet them tomorrow.Since there was an agreement between Dragon Alliance and the headquarters, Xena was able to find the information she wanted. However, there were few people who had access to retrieve this kind of information.Only a handful of people had access, and Xena was one of them.Even Belle wasn't allowed to access confidential information like this. Of course, Xena wouldn't tell her either. That was against the rules.After all, if the enemies of Dragon A

However, Felix frowned when he glanced around the room. "Why are there so many people here?" he asked.Kane was stunned. He hurriedly looked up and said, "My lord, is there… Is there something wrong?"Felix walked over and took a seat. "Everyone, you may raise your head." He then looked at Kane and said, "I told you to just bring three chiefs. Why did you bring them all?"Only three? Kane was startled. He hurried over to retrieve his phone, sweating profusely all over his face. "My lord, you told me to bring them all."After listening to the voice message, Felix sighed in exasperation. Kane probably didn't pay particularly close attention to the message, and part of it had indeed been drowned out by the harsh speaker sound. So, Kane couldn't be blamed for the mishap."Whatever. Now listen up, all nine of you. In a while, the goddess of war, Xena Summers, will be coming. I need you to vouch that I'm a member of Dragon Alliance. Understand?"The chiefs exchanged looks of confus

"Lady Summers, may we know the reason for your sudden visit?" Daniel asked. His sudden question snapped Xena back from her stupor."Didn't Felix tell you?" Xena replied.Daniel briefly glanced at Felix before answering, "What was he supposed to tell us? We're here for a meeting while Felix is out running errands. Don't tell me you're here just because you're upset that we didn't tell you beforehand we were coming to your territory."The nine chiefs from the Dragon Alliance were having a meeting in Avesburgh. However, Xena, the goddess of war, had heard nothing about it. She felt like a failure at that.However, by this point, Xena did not need to ask any other questions. She had already heard enough to confirm that Felix was indeed associated with the Dragon Alliance."I'm sorry for interrupting. I'll be leaving now," Xena said. She turned, intending to leave. Belle immediately went out after her with a look of confusion on her face."Milady, only the chief of the Disciplinary

"I just wanted to know if you'd been somewhere in the past three days where you smelled something unusual," Felix told the woman.Snakefruits had a particularly strong fragrance, but regular people wouldn't be able to tell where the smell was coming from. Also, the snakefruit scent would only last a maximum of three days on a person before disappearing. That was why Felix structured his question like that.The woman frowned as she thought for a long time. Her eyes lit up as she replied, "Now that you mention it, I went hiking with a friend the other day and smelled a really nice scent somewhere in the hills. But we somehow just couldn't pinpoint its exact location."Felix's smile widened. It was just as he had suspected."Can you please tell me where it is? I can give you the money first if you're worried they might be fake. You can check the authenticity."There were ways for people to verify the authenticity of banknotes online nowadays. So, Felix just closed the case back up an

Felix didn't struggle against Xena and just followed her out of the elevator. Since Xena was here, that meant the masked man in the elevator had to be one of the most dangerous wanted criminals out there.He debated with himself for a brief moment. Ultimately, just before the doors closed, he shook his hand and secretly shot a needle at the man still inside.With how powerful the masked man was, Xena was definitely going to have to put up a serious fight if she wanted to take him down. And since Felix had run into their little operation here, he figured he should help her.In addition to that, they were in the middle of the bustling city center. If Xena and her team couldn't control the masked man, there would be other innocent casualties along the way.As expected, the smile on Xena's face had long vanished. "This place is very dangerous. Leave as quickly as you can!" Then, she sprinted toward the emergency staircase.Felix couldn't deny that the somewhat coquettish Xena just now

Wagner and his accomplices were terrified, tremors coursing through their bodies. "No, no, please! I didn't know it was you, Mr. Longstone! Give me one more chance, please!"As one of the most powerful men in the city, Gras was someone who would put his money where his mouth was. He could kill them all, and their families wouldn't even dare to utter a single word."I know your father, so I'll give you a chance," Gras said.Only then did Wagner start recovering from his shock, breathing a sigh of relief. He wondered why Gras would come to such a small village, though.Meanwhile, Gras turned to Felix. "You're Dr. Zeller from Innswood Village, aren't you?""Yes, it's me," Felix replied politely. Gras smiled. "I've looked at Kathlynn's injuries, and I could see that you're as skilled as they say. It so happens that I need an experienced doctor in my residence. Would you be willing to work there?"Wagner was speechless. Now he knew why Gras would make the journey here—he had set his

Felix looked at their expressions that were devoid of shame. He'd figured, long ago, that these people might not abide by the three-month-long agreement. As expected, their real intentions began to bleed out by the beginning of the second month. "What if I refuse to do as you say, then? Kathlynn will have to die alongside Innswood Village and me!"Wagner remained unruffled. "Really? Let's go. I'll show you what will happen if you refuse."They returned to the city, only to learn that Felix had told them the truth, proved by how the other doctors were helpless against the venom flowing in Kathlynn's veins. They'd also ascertained the effectiveness of that medicinal powder, which they were unfortunately incapable of making. If the powder hadn't been applied on Kathlynn's body, the venom would have begun to spread through her body eventually.Wagner had never been subjected to such humiliation, though. When it was time to collect the medicine this month, he took on the task. He'd

One of the old men smiled and brought out a half-palm-sized wooden card. He handed it to Felix. "This is our association's identification card. It's custom-made. You see this small hole? There's a bug inside of it."Felix inspected it carefully and found a small hole. He wasn't sure what the bug did, however."When you're in danger, or when someone forces a body check, just break the card, and it'll turn to dust. At the same time, your closest ally will sense it, and the bug will come out of its hole. It'll find your ally and guide them to you."How magical! Felix was quite impressed. There were no phones here, but they had found ways to send information. "We have some queen bugs on our hands. The queen bugs can sense all of the bugs, and when there's a mission, we'll reach out to you. You can live your own life for now."How amazing! A lot of thought had clearly been put into this."There's also one more situation when the bug might come out. When an ally is within 30 feet, it'

Although Leandre was still a member of The Recovery Association, he lost his strength in the battle all those years ago. Thus, he was no different than just an old man now. Besides, this time, it wasn't just about himself. It was about protecting Innswood Village. He didn't want to cause any trouble here. So, he was utterly helpless with Felix's request."Since you're recommending me to join The Recovery Association, once I'm in, won't I be able to use their influence to help?"Leandre's eyes lit up. Felix was right. He wasn't an ordinary person! He was not only a doctor but also a martial artist. The Recovery Association would hold him on a pedestal, and it would be understandable for them to help him."Alright, then. I'll contact them and ask them to send someone over!" The world of martial arts wasn't only about fighting and killing but also connections. Sometimes, connections and favors were more important.If Felix had been alone, it wouldn't have mattered. He could just k

Leandre cleared his throat. "Well, yes! I do want you to join The Recovery Association! Regardless of your strength as a fighter, your medical skills alone are extremely useful to us."Don't rush to decide! You can give me your answer once you've made up your mind."Felix stood up and asked, "So, you're one of the survivors from 30 years ago, right?" But without waiting for an answer, Felix left.As soon as he did, Leandre spilled the wine on the ground, falling to his knees. He looked up at the sky with tears in his eyes. "My people… I am utterly useless, and this is all I can do now… I hope I'll be able to enjoy the moonlight again in this lifetime."After returning to the clinic, Felix began to think about how to save Innswood Village. With his strength, he could definitely kill someone like Wagner in just a few days. However, it would be too obvious.If the fighters die, wouldn't their families investigate? However, Aquamarinus wasn't as restricted by laws as Earth. As l

Felix stayed quiet for a while. In fact, he had been extremely restless for a while now, but he didn't dare to show it. Finally, he let out a laugh."If you dare tell me, of course, I would listen. In fact, when I lost my memories in the forest, it had something to do with Nine Flames. But my story should be kept a secret."A sharp glint flashed in Leandre's eyes. He clinked their glasses again and said, "In fact, when the Flame Monarch appeared with Nine Flames, Aquamarinus was still peaceful, and there were no Desolated Lands at all."Huh? Felix was shocked. This was truly a startling secret. It was something that could get someone killed."When the Flame Monarch came, so did Desolated Lands. But the current history books say the complete opposite. Instead, it says that Desolated Lands were spreading, and when the Flame Monarch appeared with Nine Flames, it gave Aquamarinus peace."Memories seemed to flash by in Leandre's eyes. "Back then, people could come and go freely on Aqua

At this time, Felix finally went to Quinley's house. The funeral hall had been set up, and the villagers were watching. With his arrival, everyone quickly made way for him.Perhaps it had already been explained, but no one showed hatred to Felix for what he did, nor did they worry Wagner and his companions might come back for revenge."Dr. Zeller! Thank you… Thank you for getting justice for my Quinley!" Her parents rushed to greet him, falling to their knees and thanking Felix. Their only remaining son followed behind.However, only Lincoln was left beside the corpse, mourning like he had lost his soul. "Please, get up. My deepest condolences," Felix replied gently.After lighting up a few candles for Quinley, Felix, who was about to leave, told Lincoln softly, "Come to me when you feel better."When he arrived at Leandre's house, there was a bottle of wine on the table along with two side dishes. "Quinley's family is going to move to town. With the hundred silver coins, they

A secret? Felix watched Leandre leave after speaking. That meant that it wasn't the time yet. Of course, Felix didn't expect anything much. Although he could see that Leandre wasn't as simple as he seemed, Leandre had been in Innswood Village for so many years.How powerful could he be?…As the sun rose, so did Kathlynn. Wagner was extremely happy. "Kathlynn! You're finally awake!"After Kathlynn shook herself awake, she looked down at her body, confused. She felt around and muttered, "I'm… I'm completely healed? I can only feel a slight ache now… What happened?"The last thing she remembered was the moment she was attacked. The injury was so horrible that she couldn't forget the feeling. She thought she was a goner for sure."We got lucky. We found a doctor in Innswood Village, and he saved you."A doctor? She followed Wagner's finger and was surprised. A doctor from a village could actually help her?As she thought of this, she stood up and said, "Thank you for saving me
Chapter 1504
Wagner glared at Felix, gritting his teeth. "You'd better help her! Otherwise, you know what will happen!"Felix showed no expression as he said, "I'm a doctor. If I say I can do it, I definitely can help her."Wagner took a deep breath, and he felt something he had never felt before—humiliation. "What must he do?""Tell him to follow Mr. Campbell. He shall kneel and pray before Quinley's body before compensating her family with 100 silver coins!"The rough man almost fainted when he heard the request. "Kneel and pray? How dare you ask me to do that?"Him, a fighter, kneeling to a mere villager? How could he withstand such humiliation? Even Wagner was furious by this request. He looked at Kathlynn lying on the bed and held back."Follow the chief and do as you're told!" Wagner barked.The rough man wanted to argue, but Wagner clenched his fists and said angrily, "Was I not clear, or are you deaf?"Hearing this, the man could only glare at Felix angrily before following the he
