Businessmen were still businessmen, after all—they had a lot to consider."Yes, Dr. Zeller," Gilbert answered.As the two left the banquet, only Xena, Jordan, and three members of the Kinsley family remained in the reception room."I don't like to beat around the bush. You should understand the benefits of my visit today! You can also amplify these benefits, which can work in reverse," Xena said harshly.Upon hearing Xena's words, Wendy and the others changed their expressions. They wondered if this was a threat.However, it was undeniably a fact—if Xena wanted to take action against the Kinsleys, she could do so in the blink of an eye."Xena, the Kinsleys have become the wealthiest in Avesburgh. While I can't say they're cunning, they certainly hold their own," Jordan played the role of the peacemaker. Jordan had known Xena for quite some time. He understood how to navigate the situation."You should also understand. After all, Mr. Kinsley Senior was once bedridden and in dan

As Wendy was about to speak, Bernard regained his composure and shouted, "How dare you!" In the next moment, Bernard suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed into Vincent's arms. Wendy was so frightened that she burst into tears and hurried outside. Even Xena's expression changed. Bernard's loyalty was more intense than she had anticipated, to the point of spitting blood over this matter."Joe," she whispered. Jordan nodded in acknowledgment and rushed over to check Bernard's pulse. His assistance helped calm Vincent and Wendy down a bit. "It's nothing serious. It's just a case of stress. A few days of rest will do him good, but during this time, make sure he doesn't face any more pressure." Given the sudden events, if Xena continued to press on the issue, she would no longer deserve the title of goddess of war. She left with Jordan. "Grandpa! I'm so sorry!" Wendy cried like a child. She just didn't want the Kinsleys to be defeated. But it wasn't her inten

Felix's lips curled into a slight smile. It was exactly as he had anticipated. He picked up the bowl he had prepared earlier and placed it by Zane's mouth. Then, he gently patted Zane's back three times with his right hand.On the last pat, Zane surprisingly opened his mouth and expelled something into the bowl. To the astonishment of Gilbert and Jane, Zane laid back down and fell asleep again."All done.""All done?" The couple stared wide-eyed, unable to comprehend the unbelievable turn of events.It wasn't until Felix approached them with the bowl and pointed to its contents that they understood. "This bug is the reason for your son's condition." Felix showed them the bowl.They looked down to see a white, worm-like creature in the bowl, resembling a dead earthworm, completely still. "This creature is extremely rare. It's called a Snowbug. I won't go into the details, but when it encounters a human, it will actively burrow into their body without leaving any wounds. "

"Milady." Belle grabbed Xena's arm, knowing just how terrifying Nocturno was as a wanted criminal. Unlike criminals who acted in the dark, he often appeared in public, yet he remained elusive due to his extraordinary strength. Even now, no one knew what his limits were."I've already called headquarters. Should we wait for their support before proceeding?" Xena patted Belle's arm, fully aware that she meant well. "It might be too late by then. Regardless of Nocturno's intentions to see me, this is undoubtedly the best opportunity to take him down. If we wait for headquarters, Nocturno isn't a fool—he'll have already escaped," Xena said."Don't worry. I'm not that easy to deal with, either," she added.Though she said this, Xena felt uncertain. Every Super S-rank wanted criminal was formidable in their own right.…Meanwhile, Felix had returned to his villa. He didn't intend to turn on the lights. Given the armed guards outside, suddenly illuminating the place would be hi

Xena glanced at Felix with a complex expression. "Please wait in the yard. My people need to search your villa. Don't worry. We won't mess up the place," she said."Okay." Felix nodded.When Belle emerged from the villa with her team, Xena left with just a glance. However, before departing, she said, "Sorry for the trouble." Felix was surprised. It was a miracle that this woman could maintain such a good attitude in front of him.… The child had already been sent to the hospital, and her parents were notified. Xena and Belle then drove toward the Phoenix Legion headquarters. Most of their personnel had been dispatched throughout Avesburgh to search for Nocturno, although they knew the chances of finding him were slim. But one question lingered. Why had Nocturno suddenly abandoned the child and not killed Felix, who was also sleeping in the villa? This was completely out of character for Nocturno. He was known to be brutal, which was why he was classified as a Super S-ran

Felix had already changed into his pajamas and finished washing up. He was now preparing for bed. However, just then, the doorbell rang. He was puzzled. Who could be visiting at this late hour?His expression was strange as he saw Xena on the video monitor."Do you have something else to discuss?" he said.Seeing that Felix was outside but hadn't opened the gate, Xena felt a surge of irritation. However, remembering her inner suspicions, she held back her frustration. "Although it's a bit late and my visit is somewhat inappropriate, is this how you welcome your guests?" she snapped.Felix opened the gate and turned to walk away. "Come in," he said.Xena was even more annoyed by his attitude. After all, she was the first goddess of war in Dragonia—beautiful and talented, the dream woman of countless men. Yet, every time she encountered Felix, it felt as though he had a way of filtering out her extraordinary beauty as if he simply couldn't see it."Get to the point. I'm

At 10:00 am, Sasha entered a café in Avesburgh."Good morning, Mr. Glover," she greeted.The one who had called her out was Ted. His stature was far beyond her reach, and she had heard he had a terrifying background. Even Hugo would respectfully address him as Mr. Glover.When she received the call last night, she was puzzled. No matter how hard she thought about it, she couldn't figure out what she had done to warrant a meeting with Ted."Have a seat," Ted said with a smile. "I looked around and found out that you know Felix. Your relationship with him is not ordinary." Instantly, Sasha stood up again, her expression in complete disarray."Mr. Glover, let me explain. While I do know Felix, I dislike him. I would not be in touch with him if it weren't for my dad. So, whatever trouble he's caused has nothing to do with me or my family," she clarified.In her view, Felix, the big fraud, had somehow gotten on Ted's bad side. It took guts to mess with someone of his stature. "Y

"Change?" The sales associate was taken aback by the request. She knew the customer was always right, but she seemed to have a bit of a temper and dared to question him."Why?" Felix frowned even deeper. "Looks like the favors from back then have gone to waste. It's only been three years, and you don't recognize your cousin. Sabrina, you haven't changed at all."Indeed, the woman before him, with her stunning figure, was Felix's cousin, Sabrina Zeller, the daughter of his fifth uncle. When Sabrina heard this, her eyes widened as she took a closer look at Felix, finally recalling something. "Oh, my God! Is that you, Felix? I can't believe you're still alive!" This instinctive reaction revealed the nature of their relationship. "I don't want to waste time talking with you. Get me another sales associate. You wouldn't want me to file a complaint, would you?" Whether from his father's side or his mother's, those relatives were all ungrateful ingrates. When Felix's father

So, that was why… Felix couldn't mistrust Donna, either. The Mystical Explosive Orb absorbed a lot of soul essence and helped his soul strength grow. Donna wasn't a fool, and of course, she could sense the growth.So, how could she give it up so easily? Yet, she still said such helpless words. Felix wondered if Dahlia and Karina could help him kill Malachar. As soon as he thought of this, he quickly dismissed the idea.He had seen the horrors of S-tier Malevolent Phantoms with his own eyes. He couldn't involve his fellow apprentices because of this… After all, this was related to life, and it wasn't a small fight."Take the Mystical Explosive Orb back. I won't have any use for it anymore. If I meet Malachar again, it'll just end up being snatched away by him."Donna could barely hold back her conflicted emotions. She was so excited as the orb had recently absorbed a powerful soul just a week ago, and it proved that her choice was right.However, she had to give it all up now. Ho

Malachar's body trembled slightly. A precious soul essence was actually given to a human by an S-tier Malevolent Phantom? What a waste!Besides, how could an S-tier Malevolent Phantom protect a human like this? This was completely incomprehensible to Malachar!"Once I find out who it is, I'll make sure they'll never stand among other S-tier Malevolent Phantoms! How dare you protect humans!" he spat out angrily, walking toward Anson.He gave Anson a look of contempt before leaving. By this point, Felix was already beyond Malachar's sensing range. Malachar didn't even know where to start if he wanted to chase after Felix. Naturally, he could only wait for his next chance.…As night fell, Felix opened the door to a hotel suite to welcome Donna, who had just arrived. "The S-tier Malevolent Phantom claims to be Malachar, and I figured out that he and Hall of Souls are working together. Maybe because they lost several Black Soul Scouts and the entire laboratory recently, he's despe

Malachar's face showed a hint of mockery. "No way I've mistaken you. I'm being guided to you, after all."Anson stood at a distance, obviously the so-called guide. No one else was around, after all."You've ruined so many Hall of Souls' good plans. So, you deserve to die!" Hall of Souls? Felix's expression turned ugly. He didn't expect Hall of Souls was actually working with S-tier Malevolent Phantoms. Yet, he had seen it with his own eyes this time."I didn't expect an S-tier Malevolent Phantom to act like a pawn for us humans. How admirable!" However, Malachar wasn't offended at all. "You humans are really good with words, but do you really think I'm fooled? Besides, Hall of Souls is 'my' pawn. This relationship will never change—not now and not ever."He moved, just a little. "Alright. I think I've said enough. I'll send you off now."Anson, who stood a little bit away, had no expression on. For him, it was best for Felix to die like this. Otherwise, Anson was sure to be th

Just as Anson felt confused as to why Felix lashed out, Felix had disappeared from his sight."Huh? Did he sense it? How is that possible?" Despite being surprised, Anson didn't think it had anything to do with what he said. After all, Felix was a martial artist at the peak of Grandmaster Realm. Felix wouldn't have grown to this point, only to be frightened by Anson's mere words."What a pity… Did you think you could really escape?"In the deserted area, Felix was running away at high speed. From the reminder left by Donna, it was clear that this S-tier Malevolent Phantom was definitely not passing by. Combined with Anson's words, it was clearly targeting him."Mackenzie approached me because of Specter, so what about this S-tier Malevolent Phantom?" he thought. He was speechless by this and felt that it was strange. But it wasn't the time to think about things like these now.All of a sudden, his phone rang. It was Donna."I sensed that there's an S-tier Malevolent Phantom cha

Xena stopped, anxious. She bit her lips painfully and felt extremely conflicted. She hadn't really made a decision yet, but if she left, her only chance of becoming stronger would be gone.The thought of Felix and Billy, who destroyed the entire Rebirth Sect by himself, flashed through her mind, and she turned around slowly."Okay. I promise you." …A week later, Felix's life in Newtown was extremely normal. Whenever night fell, he would have a passionate night with Nerissa. However, he didn't know what was going on. It was difficult for them to get pregnant."Honey, do you really not want to marry Xena?" Nerissa asked curiously as they walked into the mall."No. She'll find someone she likes soon enough, so why should I bring her with me? And don't ask me these things again."Although his tone was gentle, Nerissa still felt the annoyance in his voice. She turned away quickly, a little scared. "I'm sorry, honey. I'll never ask anything like that again."Just as Felix was abo

Felix thought for a while before he said, "Hm, at this point, even if it's just a conspiracy, there's nothing we can do. Besides, I'm not weak."How confident! If someone else had said this, Billy would've sneered in contempt. However, it came from Felix, and he felt like that was only natural. After all, Felix's soul progression was terrifying.The matter with Rebirth Sect came to an end, and Felix returned to Newtown. Although he was a little scared, Cordelia would be furious if he didn't return.Meanwhile, the Black Soul Scout was brought back to the headquarters. Billy said he would have to prepare and ensure that it was foolproof. Once he got the information, Xena would definitely contact Felix as fast as possible.However, Felix didn't know that Xena was currently meeting Specter at a villa in Yartford. "Have you made up your mind?" Specter asked, a confident smile on his face as he poured out a glass of water."First of all, I will not merge my soul with yours. Even with

"Can you remove his soul ties, Billy? I sure can't do it." Felix had high expectations of him. After the move Billy pulled today, Felix thought that he might be able to cut the soul ties bounding the Black Soul Scout."It's possible, but it might be too troublesome," Billy said.It didn't matter whether it was troublesome or not, as long as it could be done. Felix smiled. "Then, I'll leave him to you. This is a Black Soul Scout who knows a lot about the Hall of Souls."Xena was extremely happy with that answer. She knew that they had something to discuss and quickly excused herself."I'll head out and see how everything is being cleaned up outside," she said.This time, the information from this place was indescribable. Not only did it cost no lives, but they impeccably took over a Hall of Souls laboratory. Who would've dared to dream of such an outcome?Once Xena left, Felix gave Billy a thumbs up. "Your strength is truly terrifying."No matter how Billy did it, it proved the s

"I've told you this before, but there are too many people to be rescued in there. I'll have to go all out. But that means that the Malevolent Phantoms there will get some intel on me," Billy said.Xena felt helpless. However, this was also a hopeless situation. They couldn't just sacrifice a thousand lives for the sake of Billy's secrets in the second wave. This was something no one could help."Just do it. As long as you can save them, nothing else matters," Xena said.After a while, Billy raised his hand, and she stopped the car immediately."Let the backup team get ready." With that, Billy took a step forward, his expression turning solemn. He stretched out his hands slowly.Xena saw a string of beads appearing around his wrists; on the left, there were white beads, and on the right, there were black beads. …Meanwhile, in Rebirth Sect, Yosef and his A-tier Malevolent Phantoms were still investigating. They had checked almost half of the population, and there were no suspici
Chapter 1438
With a Black Soul Scout here, it seemed that Yosef had big plans. Besides, they had just mentioned feeding with corpses. Could this be the laboratory of the Hall of Souls?For a moment, Felix was tempted. If he could ideally take over this laboratory, it would definitely be helpful to Wayne's research. After all, it seemed like the Hall of Souls was progressing rapidly in this area.Additionally, the corpses were used as fodder. It was only a matter of time before Felix was exposed. Of course, he couldn't just sit there and wait to die. Meanwhile, in the room, the old man was still concentrating on the chessboard in front of him. Suddenly, his expression turned grim, and he quickly retaliated with a soul attack. Unfortunately, he fell to the ground, and his eyes rolled to the back of his head.Felix looked at the old man on the ground with his Spirit Eye and immediately confirmed that he was the Black Soul Scout. He heaved a sigh of relief. He had anticipated the attack the moment
