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

Suddenly, something occurred to the apprentice. His face turned pale as a chill ran down his spine. "But, Master! He… he never even touched that woman. How did he know about the tremors at the neck's acupoint?" The old man smiled wryly. "In traditional medicine, we rely on observation, listening, inquiry, and palpation. Have you forgotten?" "Of course not! You also can diagnose just by looking, Master. That woman's condition was sudden, so you checked her pulse to be sure. But that young man… how old is he? And he could diagnose the neck tremors so precisely, even with the stroke masking it." Shaking his head, the old man sighed. "Ah, Dragonia is full of hidden talents. Who would dare claim to be the best? As far as I know, only four people in the entire country can diagnose neck tremors by sight alone during a stroke." The young man knew who three of those were. They had to be the top three master healers and the miracle doctor, who was almost like a mythical character. "Let

Xena ignored Felix and entered the lobby with Belle. Herbal Haven was where Hector had informed her that Seth would be offering free consultations today. Her presence here was no coincidence. Not only had they come, but they had also brought along a few ordinary people to increase their chances of being chosen. Of course, Xena could not be too obvious about it, or Seth might catch on. "Jack, what's wrong?" Felix asked. He noticed Jack was still standing frozen in place a few steps behind. "Holy crap!" Jack snapped out of his daze. He grabbed Felix's arm as his excitement was beyond words. "Did… did you see that woman? My god! I didn't know such beauty existed in this world! Just one look and I feel like she's stolen my soul." Felix knew Jack was talking about Xena. He was not the only one—many in the lobby were stealing glances at her. She was indeed stunning. "Besides her beauty, what else did you notice?" Felix prodded. After some serious thought, Jack replied, "She seems c

Ginny reminded herself repeatedly that she was undergoing this treatment so that her future as a martial artist wouldn't be marred by any accidents. She was determined to soldier on despite what might happen. Also, Felix was a professional doctor and thus would surely not have any designs on her.After her maids retreated, Felix stepped forward. Ginny, who had turned her head to the side, not daring to see him, suddenly heard him say, "Can you lead me there?"Curious about what that meant, Ginny looked at him, only to be shocked. Felix, who had covered his eyes with a blindfold, was led forward by her maids, and his hands were brought to rest on a certain spot."Can I begin now, Ms. Longstone?" Felix asked. Warmth suffused Ginny's heart, and gratitude filled her gaze. "Certainly. Thank you, Dr. Zeller."The moment Felix began the massage, Ginny felt heat rise in her core, which made her admire Felix even more. After a while, Ginny felt a scorching heat in her body, and her face

"There's a tiny speck inside your core filled with rimefrost energy. As time passes, this speck will gradually enlarge, reaching a size that will impact your core ten years later," Felix explained. "You may not be in fatal danger when that time comes, but you will experience side effects if you are to fight against someone else. I think I won't need to describe them; you already know."Ginny's mouth was wide with shock. She didn't expect things to be so serious. Practicing the martial arts was what she enjoyed most in this life. If she were to lose the ability to fight as a martial artist one day, it wouldn't be any different from death. "Can this be treated, Dr. Zeller?" This was the first time Ginny spoke to him with respect. She'd come to acknowledge his skill as a doctor."If it can be spotted, of course it can be treated," Felix said. "Take the medicine I give you on time for at least three months while also massaging your core. Three months later, the speck of lingering rimef

Just as Ginny was about to say something, Felix continued, "However, I have detected symptoms of an underlying chronic ailment. She's fine now, but her symptoms will culminate after ten years if persistently ignored."A chronic ailment? Ginny frowned at Felix's serious expression. "Huh? A chronic illness? H-How can it be treated, Dr. Zeller?" Gras asked anxiously. Why would Ginny be afflicted with a chronic illness when she'd never fallen sick throughout the years?Only then did Ginny come back to her senses, more furious than before because this hack of a doctor had almost hoodwinked her. "Nonsense!" she snapped. "I've been practicing the martial arts since I was a kid, and I've never even fallen sick from minor illnesses! I'd never have a chronic illness!"Father," she continued. "This doctor is obviously as mediocre as those scammers from before. He's just here to cheat money out of us. Tell him to leave!"Felix frowned at the accusations. So this was why Ginny was so hostile

Gras instantly wore an expression of concern and began asking Ginny countless questions. Beneath his powerful countenance, he was a man who doted on his daughter."What's wrong, my dear? Does it hurt anywhere?" he asked. "Don't worry. Dr. Zeller is a phenomenal doctor who can treat any illness. I wouldn't have gone so far just to invite him over."His words made Felix have a change of opinion. It seemed that the elders at The Recovery Association hadn't given anyone the permission to approach Felix—they knew as well that keeping a low profile would benefit them more.Obviously, Gras was truly searching for a skilled doctor and had come to Felix, who was recommended by someone reliable. This was better in Felix's opinion. He'd feel awkward if he were to be the Longstones' guest, and he'd rather work for them as a skilled doctor. "I'll have to trouble you with checking her over, Dr. Zeller. I'm sorry for putting you to work immediately after a long journey.""It's fine," Felix re

Even if Felix was eliminated, he could still go back and train hard with his family. If he ended up dead, though, he would lose everything. Five days passed in a flash, and Gras' men had arrived—four martial artists in a carriage. All the villagers, who couldn't bear to say goodbye to Felix, had come to send him off. Not only did Felix not ask for a single cent, but he'd also taught Lincoln medicine. Although Lincoln was still a beginner, he was sure to become more skilled in the future. Having him here would be better than having no doctor, like now. "Mr. Campbell! Take care!" Felix nodded at Leandre once before giving Lincoln a meaningful look.He smiled at Lincoln, who was waving fervently with tears streaming down his face. It was fate that he'd met Lincoln in this unfamiliar village. The martial artists had stayed the night in the village before escorting Felix in the morning. This was the only way to avoid passing by tDesolated Lands at night. The carriage sped up

Felix had told Gras what to say in advance. Only with that would Wagner and his accomplices give up on harming Innswood Village. They'd also pray for the village not to be targeted by thieves and the like, for fear they would be implicated. It was as he'd expected—Wagner and his men were terrified. This method of associating them with everything was far from reasonable, but when subjected to serious pressure, they had no choice but to comply and make repeated promises. When Innswood Village was quiet and peaceful once again, the villagers thanked Felix while also saying their goodbyes. They'd always known that Felix wouldn't stay here for long, but they didn't expect him to leave so soon.Lincoln, particularly, was crushed. He sat in the clinic silently, a sight Felix found hard to bear."Here," Felix said, handing two books to Lincoln, who took them cautiously."What are these books, Felix?" "Medical books I wrote myself," Felix explained. "If you practice and train following

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'
