Felix knew he had to go through official channels to avoid unnecessary trouble. The morgue seemed like the best option, as there might be people willing to sell deceased bodies for the right price.Gabriel was stunned. He could not believe Felix had actually taken him seriously. "Are you making fun of me?"Felix shook his head. "The Veilflower is extremely important to me. I wouldn't joke about this, especially concerning your ability to move freely again."His medical skills made this possible, though it would be difficult and take considerable time. However, he was confident in his success rate."Get out!" Gabriel snapped, enraged despite Felix's serious expression. He grabbed another bottle of liquor from the table and started drinking."I'll go prepare now and come back before noon tomorrow. I promise you'll be back to normal," Felix assured him.Gabriel's face showed nothing but contempt. He could not be bothered to say anything more. He had consulted several master healers

If Zachary and Dora were still here, they would definitely be grateful for their early departure. Because if Gabriel wasn't lying, the person approaching now was Hector Downy, the Warlord of the East. Who would dare provoke him seeing that he was one of the top figures of Dragonia?Even Felix narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered, "The Warlord of the East?"Gabriel heard Felix, but he didn't have time to worry about the latter. He had already given him plenty of chances earlier. It was up to the warlord to decide how to handle things, which was beyond Gabriel's control.Hector stopped in his tracks. He was middle-aged, with a presence that made the air seem to go still, even though he wasn't intentionally exerting any pressure. His gaze was deep and intense, making the atmosphere tenser."Gabriel, what crime have you committed?"Gabriel didn't dare lift his head."I failed my mission. All my teammates perished, and only I managed to survive. That is my crime!"His sorrow was e

"Refreshing!" Inside a room, Hector and Felix had downed half a bottle of liquor in one go, and the smile on Hector's face grew even wider."It's always the best to drink with you, young man."Felix hadn't expected that the Veilflower Gabriel found was meant for the one and only Warlord of the East. He knew him because of Gerald. He'd met him more than once before. What left Felix speechless was how Gerald casually called him "Hector", as if his prestigious title meant nothing in Gerald's eyes.However, Felix couldn't do the same. He had to show respect by calling him "Mr. Downy". After all, the man was a hero who protected the nation.After hearing Felix's story, Hector furrowed his brows. "Do you need the Veilflower, too? That's going to be tough."The fact that even he found it difficult showed that the other person needing the Veilflower was equally important."Mr. Downy, about that old war hero you mentioned, did he fall ill?" Felix asked.Hector shook his head. "No

In the courtyard of Kane's estate, Stinger was tied to a large tree. His upper body was bare, while a whip lashed across his skin, leaving bloody marks one after another. Yet, Stinger refused to make a sound. Not far away, a middle-aged man sat in a grand armchair with his feet propped on the seat, his expression full of disdain. "Killing someone like Hunter is one thing. You can do that as you please. However, Stinger, what you should never have done is disrespect Lord Jamison."When the whipping stopped, Stinger glared fiercely."Skyler, cut the crap and stop pretending to be the good guy! Even if I didn't look down on Harold, do you think he wouldn't have come after me? When Lord Kane was around, you acted like a lackey. Are you acting so tough now just because you've found a new person to support you?"The middle-aged man, Skyler Stevens, chuckled."Let me tell you something. Lord Jamison is taking over Avesburgh's underground scene. It's not because Lord Kane's gone, but b

"Mr. Zeller, I'm sorry. I'm so useless!" Kneeling on the ground, Stinger looked up at Felix. Felix raised a hand. "You are indeed useless, but taking over a city's underground forces isn't something you can achieve with manpower and ruthlessness alone. You need a powerful person to back you up!"How did Kane manage it? It was all because he held the position of the deputy chief in Dragon Alliance, allowing him to act decisively without overthinking. "Now that things have reached this point, go ahead and do what you need to. I'll be your backer and back you up!"Since he was already involved, Felix wasn't interested in stepping back. People like Stinger could be quite useful in certain situations. Hearing this, Stinger became ecstatic. His hesitation and fear stemmed from lacking strong support. With Kane gone, he couldn't keep relying on him. It would be far too cowardly. With Felix's support, he could finally act without restraint. "Lord Jamison said he'll be here in half an

Faced with such a request, Stinger dared not object. Everything was up to Felix. After all, he would've been dead if Felix hadn't come to his rescue, leaving him no grounds to negotiate."We were having a perfectly good conversation about business. Why bring up my mom?" Although Felix was silent, his stern gaze made his intentions clear. Harold shrugged. "I have no idea where my mom is. How could I tell you?" Felix stepped forward and slapped Harold across the face. "Your mother's life is in danger. Despite being her son, you don't care. You're not worried, and you don't even try to find her. How can you accept the things your enemy gives you? What a man you are!" Harold's expression turned dark as his hands clenched for a moment, but he forced a smile. "A smart person knows when to adapt to the situation. "Do you think everyone is as headstrong as you? Do you think everyone loves to fight against something they can't win, just to prove a point?"From the moment Harold wa

Just as Felix straightened up, the roar of engines erupted outside, and two military-green vehicles stopped at the gate. Zachary furrowed his brows, as anyone could tell that these were exclusive vehicles of the Phoenix Legion. However, he wondered why the Phoenix Legion had come. That was a question worth pondering.The car doors swung open, and Belle stormed out first, flanked by several armed soldiers."You are suspected of murder and assault, Felix Zeller. You are required to assist in the investigation." Zachary quickly stood up, pulling the elderly man along as he headed outside. With the Phoenix Legion involved, there was no way he could continue to trouble Felix. If he were to fall into their hands, even his father would have no way to rescue him. "You must be quite the arrogant guy, Felix," Zachary thought. "Even the Phoenix Legion is stirred up. It's a pity I can't kill you myself."Unbothered by Zachary's departure, Belle kept her gaze fixed on Felix. "Are you don

Belle shot an intense glare at the newcomer, her fury palpable. "Are you done? How dare you obstruct the Phoenix Legion's operations? Capture her!"Seeing another woman appear, who was even more stunning than Yvonne—almost on par with Xena—Belle didn't recognize her and decided to make an example of her. Without saying a word, a middle-aged man stepped forward. This caught Belle's attention, and her expression changed. Immediately, she halted her order. "Stop!" She recognized the middle-aged man as a bodyguard closely associated with Ernest, named Jairo. The woman who had spoken on behalf of Felix earlier was clearly an important person. "The Phoenix Legion is quite impressive. Is your word alone enough to take someone away? I'm standing right here, and I would like to see you try!" Jairo was there to protect none other than Sherlyn, Ernest's precious granddaughter. Felix recognized her at once. "Ms. Holt, thank you so much. However, it's no problem for me to go with them,"

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'
