"Doesn't this look like an acupuncture needle to you?" Xena asked.Belle replied, "Yes, milady. The needle has been confirmed to be an acupuncture needle."Xena had a strong feeling that this needle had to be the reason for Santhor's easy defeat just now. It had suppressed his true power, making it easy for her to take him down."Get all of the hotel's security footage here at once. I want to go through them myself," Xena declared."Yes, milady!" Belle nodded.Just then, a voice appeared in Belle's in-ear microphone."Milady, Perry Glover is here.""You may leave now. And ask him to come in," Belle replied.Xena felt sorry for Perry when he finally came into her office. Her uncle looked as if he had just aged by ten years."Xena! It's been so long! Why have you still not arrested Felix yet?" Perry questioned.Perry was at his wit's end. He had expected that Xena wouldn't have done anything much on her side, but to think that even the Inferno Clan hadn't made much progress eit

Sasha was confused. Why would Nora be looking for Felix? There didn't seem to be a possibility for the two of them to even know each other.In her circle of friends, Sasha looked down the most on Nora. She was a good-for-nothing sugar baby who would willingly bend over backward for money.It was most probably because Nora's family's company had gone bankrupt a few years ago, but she hadn't wanted to give up living her life of luxury. So, if she wanted to get large amounts of money quickly, the only way to do so without becoming a prostitute was to become a sugar baby to married men."Who's your boyfriend? Why would he want to kill you? That's too ridiculous."However, Nora's reply instantly made Sasha rejoice internally."Believe me, Sasha, he'll really kill me if he had the chance! He doesn't even give a fuck about people like Lord Kane. Please, can you find this someone for me?"Someone who didn't even care about Lord Kane? Sasha briefly glanced at Felix and wanted to laugh o

Felix nodded. "Because of this, I'll give you another chance. It's up to what your sister chooses to do after that."His sister? Sam's smile vanished. How dare such filthy trash like Felix bring up Dora? Did he really think that he could start spouting nonsense just because he had heard something from Kane?"Give me another chance? You've got the nerve! Although Nora's just one of my toys, I absolutely do not allow anyone else to touch her before I'm done playing with her. "But really, I'm surprised that you'd actually give a slut like her five million dollars cash. Is she even worth that much?"Sam had been thoroughly shocked when he saw all the cash at the hotel that day. Sure, he was filthy rich, and five million dollars was just another figure to him. But that was the first time he had seen it in cash form."I've already told you that it was a misunderstanding. I gave her five million dollars in exchange for some information. Can we end things here now?" Felix sighed.Sam wa

Felix was also taken aback to hear the news. Thinking back, he had only met the Oasis Clinic chief just a while ago. He was honest and looked like he would do well in business and managing money. How could he just die in the blink of an eye?"Did he die of an illness or other causes?" Felix asked.If someone had poisoned him, that meant the rebellion in Dragon Alliance was so serious that they would dare to kill the chief. It was evident that they were unscrupulous with their ways now.Kane shook his head."I don't know. Mr. Zeller, the vice leader wants me to go over at once. I think he needs me to stand in as the temporary chief."In Dragon Alliance, it was challenging for someone to be promoted from a regular member to a deputy chief, let alone be promoted to chief from deputy chief.Kane knew he shouldn't be the next in line between himself and the other deputy chief. Maybe it was because the news that the Dragon Lord had returned had already spread among the rest of the me

"How about this—I'll sleep with you for a night, and you let my brother go?" Dora offered.Sam's jaw dropped open. He felt once more just how terrifying Felix must be for Dora to offer up her body to him like this. Most importantly, he could see the anxiety and desperation in her eyes. He didn't know what to think anymore."Jack Graham is a manager from this company. He's a good friend of mine. The Clarksons have a lot of resources to go around, right? It shouldn't be a problem for you to collaborate with them on something, right?" Felix asked while handing Dora a business card.Was that all? Dora took the business card from Felix's hand and blinked at him in confusion."Are you sure you really don't want to punish me hard in bed for what my brother did to you?"Felix was rendered speechless. He was too lazy to reply to her, so he just waved her off.It wasn't until Sam had left the premises and gotten into Dora's car that he finally dared to speak up. "Dora, how did you and Mr.

Felix thought he was hearing things. Did Xena really agree to his proposition? He stared at her in shock."Are you sure you know what you're saying? You're Dragonia's goddess of war. Do you even know what kind of position that is?" Felix asked.Xena's facial expression remained unchanged. "I just want to know the truth, that's all. It has nothing to do with whether or not you're a member of Dragon Alliance. You should know that more than I do."Of course, Felix knew that. It didn't mean that Xena would change her attitude about him just because he was a member of Dragon Alliance. At the very most, she just thought slightly better of him now."Alright. Since that's what you said."Felix didn't believe it. He didn't think that Xena would put aside her ego and really sleep with him for the night.After entering the villa, Felix went straight into his bedroom."Xena Summers, there's still a chance for you to leave if you regret this," Felix warned.He didn't know what got into Xena

"You've got your answers. You can go now," Felix said.But Xena was stubborn as ever. After all, she was the goddess of war. "I said I'd leave at dawn, and I will." Felix could not take it anymore. How was he supposed to sleep with her there? He got up, threw on his clothes, and headed for the door. "You stay and rest then. I'm going to grab something to eat." Xena bolted upright. As Felix's silhouette disappeared beyond the door, she became furious. What was his deal? Did he find her repulsive or something? She was Lady Summers, the first goddess of war in Dragonia, and the fantasy of men everywhere. They had shared a bed, and he just... walked out? Gosh! If word got out, no one would believe it. Felix left Tabiner Bay and wandered the streets. He eventually found himself near the alley where Ted and Sasha had tried to set him up at that fondue restaurant. "I wonder if they're still open." Though he was not hungry, the memory of that fondue tempted him. It was already mid

Just when the old man was about to insert the second needle, he looked up at Felix, who had suddenly spoken. "Listen, kid. Don't you know she's having a stroke? This first needle will only buy her five minutes at most. These five minutes are crucial for treatment. Do you want her to die?" Felix was well aware the woman was having a stroke, but he had his reasons for intervening. But before he could explain, the old man's apprentice exclaimed, "You idiot! If you're not a doctor, shut your trap, and don't interrupt my master when he rescues someone! And if you are one, you should know how high the risk of death from a stroke is. Are you trying to kill her?" This outburst riled up the other customers in the fondue restaurant. Given the age difference, everyone was more inclined to believe the old man was a master healer, whereas Felix was just causing trouble. "Hey, boy, have you been hitting the sauce? How dare you butt in on something this serious?" "Yeah, just watch quietly

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

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
