Yvette hurried out of the kitchen, still holding the ladle. She had never seen Shaun like this before.

"What happened, dear? Does it have something to do with Felix?"

Shaun's expression was grim, and his face was shadowed with concern. Instead of answering her, he turned to Felix.

"Tell me honestly. What kind of conflict do you have with Evelyn? If we can't figure out the reason, I really can't do anything to help."

Shaun, who usually carried himself with an easygoing and carefree attitude, now seemed utterly serious. It left Felix somewhere between amused and exasperated.

"I honestly don't know Evelyn. I've never even met her, let alone had any issues with her."

Watching Shaun frown even more deeply, Yvette couldn't hold back any longer. No matter what, she couldn't just stand by and watch Cordelia's only blood relative end up in real trouble.

"What's going on? Just tell me!"

Shaun sighed heavily, finally making a decision. "Drive Felix out of Aleshire. I'm afraid Evelyn has a

    Nathaniel obviously saw an opportunity to completely crush Shaun—a perfect chance to kill two birds with one stone.Before Shaun could respond, Dominic interrupted coldly, "Shut up! Who told you we're here to cause trouble?"Then, he shot an anxious glance toward Shaun. "If I'm not mistaken, you're Shaun Sullivan, which would make Mr. Zeller your nephew. Correct?"Shaun was about to answer instinctively when he suddenly froze, wondering if the "Mr. Zeller" he meant was Felix. The others also noticed the unusual formality in the address, especially coming from the head of the Walsh family.After all, addressing an outsider as "Mister" typically meant they held a higher status and deserved special respect. However, they were puzzled as to what could make Felix so special."Dominic, what's your wife trying to do?" Felix finally broke free from Yvette's tight grip and stepped forward.That single question made Evelyn's teeth chatter with fear, while Dominic struggled to maintain a ge

    That single word "wait" made Dominic and Evelyn jump in surprise. Dominic asked nervously, "What can I do for you, Mr. Zeller?""I heard you have a multi-billion-dollar deal with the Sullivan family?" Felix's question made Dominic relax slightly, as he had expected something worse."Yes, that's correct. What about it, Mr. Zeller?"Felix gestured casually before saying, "Work out the details with Uncle Shaun moving forward. If he wants to do it, great. If not, forget I mentioned it.""Of course, Mr. Zeller. I'll personally visit Mr. Shaun tomorrow," Dominic replied eagerly. The old saying about one person's success lifting up everyone around them could not have been more true. In the past, Dominic would not have given anyone in the Sullivan family the time of day. While the Sullivans had had a slight chance at this billion-dollar deal before, it had been a long shot at best. Now, everything had changed.After they left, Felix smiled and said, "Aunt Yvette, Uncle Shaun, let's

    In a secluded forest in Dragonia, Sarah suddenly sat up from her sleep, a mysterious smile slowly spreading across her face. She mused, "Well, well, things are moving faster than I expected... The real show is about to begin."...The next morning, Xena playfully shoved Felix away. "You jerk, stop it! I need to get to work!" Thanks to her martial arts training and enhanced stamina, she was able to get up at all—most women would not have been able to move after such an intense first time, especially after a night of passion."Alright. We'll continue at my place tonight," Felix teased. "Though I seem to remember someone being quite vocal—"She quickly covered his mouth before he could finish, her face flushed with embarrassment as she rushed out. The memories of last night's passion were still fresh in her mind, making her heart race.Like any woman experiencing intimacy for the first time, she had found herself caught up in the moment. Now that she had finally found her true love

    After a long moment of hesitation, Xena clicked play on the video. The first thing she saw was Felix talking with an elderly woman, and as their conversation continued, Xena's brows furrowed in concern."So, that's Madam Spring?" she whispered to herself. After months of investigation without even knowing what Sarah looked like, this should have been a welcome discovery. However, as the video continued, Xena's expression darkened, and her eyes turned ice-cold.By the end, her fists were clenched so tight her knuckles turned white as she snapped through gritted teeth, "Felix!"...After sunset, Felix finished preparing a feast and called Xena, who should have arrived half an hour ago according to their plans. When she did not answer after several rings, he tried not to worry.However, 40 more minutes had passed, and he could not shake the feeling that something was wrong. Even if Xena were delayed, she would have let him know.Finally, he called Alistair directly. "Alistair, is

    Xena's gaze was empty as she stared at Felix. "You still came to me only to save yourself. Felix, I'm completely disappointed in you!"If you had just been honest with me from the start, given that I had already fallen for you, do you really think I would have refused? But you chose to hide the truth. So, everything you say now is just an excuse."Xena yanked her hand away from his grip, her voice cold. "I never want to see you again. Just disappear from my world completely."Felix stood frozen, watching Xena leave. He knew that nothing he could say or do would fix this now—Sarah had won by dealing Xena an emotional blow that could not be healed....The next morning, after a sleepless night, Felix still could not bring himself to give up and planned to ask Jack for advice. However, when he opened his door, he found Curtis stepping out of his car."Mr. Summers Senior," Felix greeted him quietly.Curtis looked as exhausted as Felix felt, as if he, too, had not slept. He simply sa

    Right then, Felix could barely contain his anger anymore. Just as he was about to act, a police car zoomed past them. As he got snapped back to reality, he was reminded of the crowds milling around them. He suddenly remembered his own and Sarah's tremendous power. If they were to fight here, they could level the entire block in seconds. That kind of destruction would definitely draw unwanted attention from Dragonia's authorities. Sarah scoffed. "I thought you were actually going to do something." Taunted by Sarah, Felix's voice turned cold as he said, "You think it's fun playing with people's lives? What I felt for Xena was real, and you ruined everything. Do you have any idea how heartbroken she is?"Sarah smirked. "Of course I know she's heartbroken. All my schemes would have gone to waste if she hadn't been sad. The more pain she's in, the more that heartless Curtis will blame himself. That's exactly what I've been hoping for."Sarah would clearly stop at nothing for her rev

    "Thank you, Mr. Summers Senior. I won't give up," Felix said.Within just an hour, Felix had tracked down the pen pal who went by the nickname "Sunset". They lived in Gray City."Felix, what brings you here to visit me?"Felix had shown up at Ernest's house that afternoon with some gifts. "I'm leaving Canraville for a while, and I might be gone for quite some time. I wanted to see you before I go." Leaving? Ernest was not too surprised. Young people, especially talented ones like Felix, rarely stayed in one city forever. "That's thoughtful of you." Felix hesitated before continuing, "I won't be saying goodbye to Sherlyn in person, so please let her know that I'm leaving. Also, please tell her she should live her life—I'm not worth waiting for." Ernest gave a knowing smile. "Don't worry about her. She's got a good head on her shoulders. When she really feels there's no hope left, she'll move on."…Around 5:00 pm, Jack and Vanessa arrived at a restaurant in Canraville. "Y

    Eight figures emerged at the mountain peak. All of them were older men and middle-aged warriors who radiated powerful presences. "Five Oceanus Realm masters and three Pulse Realm masters—I'm flattered by such attention." Pulse Realm was the next level above Oceanus Realm. A martial artist would reach this realm when they could gather their spiritual energy into a sphere within their core and make it rotate. This rotating energy sphere would then release its essence throughout the body's meridians, strengthening and transforming them. Felix was not exaggerating about the impressive display of force. Most martial arts sects barely had any Oceanus Realm masters, let alone those who had reached the higher Pulse Realm. Yet the Council had sent so many at once. "Anyone the Council marks for death never lives to see another day. You're the only exception, Felix. Wouldn't it be disrespectful if we didn't take you seriously?" They were not surprised Felix could identify their cultiv

    Nelly had always maintained professional distance with all her clients, which had worked to discourage Huxley's advances since he was never really interested in buying property. However, Felix's arrival completely disrupted that delicate balance.After a long moment of internal struggle, Nelly agreed. "Fine, I'll have dinner and karaoke with you tonight, but that's all."Huxley smiled darkly, knowing she would not have any control over what happened once she was there, especially after he slipped something into her drink."That won't be necessary," Felix interrupted firmly. "I actually appreciate having all these people guarding my clinic. Nelly, please go home."Upon seeing Huxley's expression turn venomous, Nelly panicked. "Mr. Zeller, please stay out of this. I know what I'm doing.""I said it's not necessary," Felix repeated calmly.Huxley's expression darkened as he grabbed Felix's collar.

    Xena nodded slowly. "Of course, I've heard of them! Everyone who joins gets that training at headquarters. "How could anyone not know about the legendary Chief Commander? But what does this have to do with Felix?"She had tried calling Conan earlier, but he had been too scared to say anything. Hence, she was now questioning Alistair."The legendary Chief Commander appeared today—she's Felix's senior," Alistair explained. "One call to Hugh, and within minutes, they discovered the forensics team had falsified everything on the phone.""What?" Xena shot up from her chair. "Are you absolutely certain Felix's senior is the legendary Chief Commander?"Though Alistair only responded with a telling look, she knew it was true. The news was absolutely staggering—this connection was far more significant than knowing any warlord."Based on Mr. Spade's reaction, the Chief Commander hasn't aged a day," Alistair added thoughtfully.Xena gave a bitter laugh. "Of course not. One can only imagin

    Conan did not want to stay a second longer in this place. After all, this was the legendary Chief Commander, someone even Lionel respected. He had really shot himself in the foot this time, wishing he had shown better judgment.After they left, Felix breathed a sigh of relief, finally understanding why the forensics results were compromised. It seemed John had timed his report precisely for this reason."Thank you, Mira," Felix said sincerely.Averill immediately protested with a mischievous grin. "What about me? Don't forget you did nothing but lie in bed last time. You should thank me for my hard work too."Felix felt his face burning with embarrassment—only Averill would make such suggestive comments in front of Mira."How did you two end up coming together?" he asked, trying to change the subject.Mira's eyes sparkled with amusement. "I was too lazy to track you down, so I had Averill do the legwork." She turned to Averill and added, "Don't you have a flight to catch?"Ave

    Conan whirled around to find another stunningly beautiful woman, and he widened his eyes. He could not help but think, "Damn! What kind of luck does Felix have to have such gorgeous seniors?""Of course! What, are you planning to interfere too?" he challenged, trying to maintain his authority.Felix stood up, surprised to see that Averill's mentioned senior was none other than Mira, who had gracefully entered the room carrying a distinctive purple umbrella—the kind of accessory that demanded attention whether you wanted to give it or not."Well, well, headquarters has really gone downhill if this is the caliber of agents they're producing these days," Mira remarked with a cold smile.Conan's face reddened with rage at the insult to headquarters, but his anger suddenly froze as he took a closer look at Mira's face. He stumbled backward several steps. "Y-You're..."Ignoring Conan, Mira pulled out her phone and dialed a number. "Listen here, Hugh. Just because you're retired doesn't

    A flash of annoyance crossed Alistair's eyes, but he still made the introduction. "Mr. Zeller, this is Mr. Conan Spade from headquarters, a joint investigator. Given the international implications of this case, they're taking it quite seriously." Conan scoffed at these words. "Mister? Really, Alistair? You're getting soft—since when do we address suspects as 'mister'?""How I address people is my business," Alistair shot back. "As long as the investigation is thorough, my manners aren't your concern." Ignoring the exchange, Conan dropped heavily into the chair across from Felix. "The voice recordings and videos from your phone have been authenticated—it's definitely you, Felix. No amount of denial will help unless you can provide an alibi, so you'd better come with us right now."He added with menace, "And if you resist, we're authorized to use lethal force!"Conan's hostility was crystal clear, but Felix chose not to dwell on it. He replied, "I actually do have an alibi, though

    Felix's first thought was that they had found out that he killed Mason, but he quickly dismissed it. First, he had been meticulous. Since Mason had come to kill him, he would have surely avoided cameras himself. Secondly, the Jacobs family would learn about his death first. There was no way they would ask the cops for help instead of taking revenge themselves. These two points made it unlikely. So, what was it? "Xena, don't joke around. How could I have murdered someone?" "That's not for you to decide. Did you think I'd call you if this wasn't official? Alistair's coming for you. I hope you'll cooperate, or I'll issue an arrest warrant." The call ended right there, and Felix was left bewildered. He could only go home and wait. An hour later, Alistair found his address. He sat in Felix's living room with two Wolfie troopers. The fact that they had not even given him a heads-up despite their relationship meant this was official business. "Mr. Zeller, I apologize, but we mus

    If Felix wanted to have regular interactions with Willow, he first needed a job. Maintaining his usual air of mystery would only create distance.After consideration, he decided that continuing his career as a doctor made the most sense. It was the fastest way to connect with people. After all, everyone would get sick sometimes."There's a traditional medicine clinic for rent just a block away. But you should see it yourself first." Nelly's efficiency was impressive. After all, she was familiar with the industry. "Thanks again. Just call me Felix." "Sure, Felix." Nelly's colleagues had been right when they said she was a reserved woman. She had not been putting on an act when she always maintained professional distance with wealthy clients. Her different approach with Felix stemmed from her intuition. His eyes were always filled with sincerity whenever he looked at her. The clinic was about 800 square feet. Though it was not big, it was sufficient for use. It had thrived un

    Almost immediately after Mason's death, a scarlet thread shot out from his body straight toward Felix. The thread moved so fast that Felix could not react before it vanished. Quickly sitting in a meditation pose, Felix located the thread within himself."Even with my current power, it'll take a month to fully dissolve this Scarlet Thread." Since the thread was not harming him, Felix guessed it had to be some kind of ancestral protection to identify who killed their descendant.Though Felix had instantly suppressed it to its limit, total elimination would take at least a month. This was why he was frustrated. While his suppression had reduced the thread's tracking range greatly, it was not gone. Within a certain distance, it could still instantly identify Felix as Mason's killer. Whoever created this thread was powerful. They were definitely beyond Felix's current ability to fight. But nothing could be done about it now. He would have to take things one step at a time.Seven

    Unless? Melissa's eyes lit up eagerly. "Don't keep me hanging! Unless what?" "Unless he's from one of the two most mysterious sects or the Greene family. I can't think of any other possibility." Melissa's expression turned worried as she pondered. "What should I do? Should I heed his calls? And is that mark real?"Her mentor answered without hesitation, "Of course the mark is real! If he wanted you dead, you'd be dead already. You have a chance to connect with a supreme prodigy, and you're thinking of avoiding him?"Has all that phone-stealing messed up your brain? Best case scenario, you could have his child, then—"Melissa hung up. That old man was being ridiculous again. But recalling Felix's appearance, she stroked her chin with a playful smile and said, "Having his child might not be so bad... Oh, my, why am I feeling butterflies?"…Around 1:00 am, Mason had just entered the living room of Villa No. 3 in Heavenly Meadow when he found Felix waiting at the stairs. "You
