"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.

    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

    "Kill him!" Now that the battle had started, there was no more need for words. Just as the eight warriors were about to attack in unison, the three Pulse Realm masters suddenly turned pale. They convulsed and coughed blood as they were thrown backward. "Rising Dragon!" Seizing the moment, Felix unleashed his Rising Dragon technique against the three, who were already reeling from his Shadow Strike. "He... He's reached Pulse Realm, too!" The remaining five Oceanus Realm masters gasped as they finally sensed Felix's true power level. How was this possible? Intelligence had reported Felix was at Oceanus Realm, which was shocking enough since they had thought he was still at Aetherial Realm. But now, had he actually advanced from Oceanus to Pulse Realm in just days? It seemed really inhuman of Felix to be able to do that. Throughout history, no martial artist had ever progressed this quickly—not even the greatest prodigies. Three thunderous explosions snapped them back to reali

    Felix hung up without a word. He wanted nothing more to do with the Greenes. Though his face remained expressionless, his mind was in a mess. Asher had mentioned that Aiden had reached Innate Realm at just ten years old. After all these years, his power had to be immense. Now that was true genius. It was no wonder that the Greene family held such a unique position in Dragonia. Aiden alone showed how powerful they were.Unless he called on Gerald and his fellow apprentice for help, Felix knew he was not ready to challenge the Greenes. He was not even sure he could match Aiden in combat. With these thoughts weighing on him, Felix drove into Canraville and called Seven. Shortly after he got home, Seven arrived. "Mr. Zeller, does this fit what you want? We crafted it exactly according to your photo." Felix had sent Seven a picture of the Dragonspine and asked him to look for people who could produce a replica. It had to be made with bone, and any animal bone would do. "Yeah, i

    Felix sighed to himself. Being popular with the ladies felt more like a burden than a blessing.…In Yartford, Nala was listening to Alfie's report, with Yvonne standing nearby. "Interesting. Felix actually gave his father's heirloom to Aiden Greene. Knowing what kind of person he is, I find it quite hard to believe." Alfie remained silent. He always carried out Nala's orders perfectly, so there was no way he would lie about it. Yvonne felt relieved. She knew how terrifying Aiden was, who also had the mighty Greene family backing him. "Did you find out why Felix is going to Gray City?" Alfie shook his head. "No, but it seems he's planning to stay long-term. He transferred both his villa and car to Jack."Nala could not figure out what made Gray City special. "Miss, perhaps he's leaving Canraville because of his broken relationship with Xena. Gray City might just be a random choice." "Yeah, you're probably right. I can finally make my move now that my biggest competitor i

    Alfie and Yvonne gradually came to their senses. Yvonne was still in a daze while Alfie immediately started searching for Lady Nala. "It's true... It's actually true..." Hearing Nala keep repeating those words, Alfied asked quickly, "Miss, are you alright?" He had already guessed what happened. Someone incredibly powerful must have appeared. How else could he have been knocked out instantly? At least Nala seemed unharmed, or he would never forgive himself.Nala glanced at him and shook her head. "I'm fine. Don't ask any questions. Let's pretend this never happened."Though burning with curiosity, Alfie did not dare probe further after she said that. He could only wonder what legendary figure had appeared. It must be someone whose power and status were beyond his imagination.In Gray City, Felix followed a real estate agent through Heavenly Meadow, a residential area in the city center.But now, few wanted to buy houses here despite the prime location. The prices were not chea

    "Smart girl," Felix thought with a smile. "Thank you. I'd appreciate that." Moving in would require lots of shopping, and taking cabs would be inconvenient. As they drove off together, two men watched from the office entrance with annoyed looks. "Damn it! That villa listing was supposed to be mine. I can't believe someone actually bought it, and now, this flirt gets the commission." His colleague teased, "That's fate for you! This sale's worth more than several of our regular deals combined. Isn't Nelly usually the reserved type? She's always keeping clients at arm's length, but she's making moves now." "Hah! That's all an act! This Felix guy's young and loaded—who wouldn't fantasize about dating him? If she plays her cards right, she could end up a rich man's wife instead of selling houses. But she stole my meat, so she'll pay for it."Smiling, his colleague stayed silent as he knew the real reason behind his bitterness. He had pursued Nelly before and been rejected. "Wait. Y

    "Stop!" Just as the men raised their iron bars to attack Felix, a thunderous shout rang out. It was Clement, who had emerged from his villa fully dressed. He looked like he was about to head out. "Damn it! Who the hell dares to interfere?" The young man snarled as he turned around, but his expression instantly changed. "Mr. Parson?" Clement's face darkened as he pointed at the young man. "Huxley Linton, are you itching for trouble again? Why are you attacking people in broad daylight? Has your father stopped disciplining you?" Hearing their conversation, it was clear they knew each other, and Huxley was afraid of Clement. "Come on, Mr. Parson. It was just a joke to scare him. We weren't really going to hurt him! We're leaving right now."After Huxley left with his men, Felix seized the opportunity to become friendlier with Clement. "Thank you, Mr. Parson. Honestly, I'm completely lost here since I've just arrived in Gray City. I don't even know that young man." Clement conside

    Felix frowned as he glanced at Mason before asking, "What exactly do you want?" "Isn't it obvious? I want you to treat my friend. Rosalyn said you're a traditional medicine practitioner. If you're good enough to work with the Ruby family, you must be skilled. My friend's condition isn't critical, but he's my friend, so we can't wait around." If Mason really could not afford to wait around, why would he be in a mood for pizza here? "I'll give you an answer, then. No. I won't go." Mason smiled cruelly and scoffed. "Do you think I won't touch you in public? Or did you think I'm just bluffing because you're a doctor and have powerful connections? "Well, you're wrong. I'm Mason Jacobs, a prodigy of the Eight Great Martial Families. I can crush you effortlessly in every way, so I suggest you wise up." Getting no response as Felix walked away, Mason cracked his neck. "You're the first to dare ignore me ever since I became famous. After midnight, you won't even get a chance to regr

    From what Melissa had shared, it seemed that the moment Mason died, someone must have sensed it right away."I feel like you're talking but not really saying anything," Felix remarked, raising an eyebrow.Melissa grew a little flustered. "No, it's not that! It's just… I have this weird feeling. If Mason really did have an accident, it would explain why those rumors popped up out of nowhere. "Ugh, if something really happened to him, the Jacobs family would probably be so furious. Mason's the most talented person they've had in generations."Felix did not continue the discussion, as a middle-aged man walked into the clinic at that moment."Hello, how can we help you today?" Melissa asked politely.Having an attractive receptionist really did make customers more agreeable. "I've got some stomach pain," the man replied, rubbing his abdomen."Please, take a seat," Melissa said, motioning toward the chair.Felix walked over and pretended to take the man's pulse.

    Silas's voice carried a mix of desperation and pleading, with an undercurrent of fear that Felix found unsettling. He was confused by the warning about Zara and asked, "Mr. Grayson, what do you mean? I don't understand.""Don't ask questions—just remember your promise. Ernest was there when you swore never to meet with Zara again. That debt has been paid. Can you give me your word?" Silas pressed urgently.Felix wondered if Zara had escaped as it seemed the only explanation. "I'll keep my promise. Even if she finds me here, I'll avoid her completely."After hearing that, Silas seemed to relax a little. "Good. I hope you'll remember what you said."Felix hung up the call, shaking his head. The dynamic between Silas and Zara was so strange, as though there was some massive secret neither of them could share.…Melissa had already opened up the clinic. She was wearing a modest dress that completely concealed her figure. She asked, "Is this outfit acceptable enough?"Felix gave her

    "This is so delicious! I'll have to ask Nelly for more," Felix said to himself as he finished the pasta.Shortly after, the doorbell rang— it was Queenie Larrington, his new neighbor from Villa No. 2. She stood there holding something rolled up.She explained, "I wasn't sure what to give a neighbor. I love painting, so I hope this is fine with you.""Thank you, that's very thoughtful of you," Felix replied.But Queenie did not stop there. She added hesitantly, "Could you take a look at it now? I'd love to hear your thoughts. I'm not a professional, but I really enjoy painting.""Of course," Felix agreed. He carefully unrolled the painting and was shocked to see the painting. He exclaimed, "This is incredible! How did you capture me so well after meeting just once?""So... it's good?" Queenie asked nervously."Beyond good. It's incredible! You've got some serious talent—you're definitely gifted."Queenie smiled at the compliment and left shortly after. Felix returned inside,

    Melissa's outfit at that moment was enough to make almost any man lose his composure.She wore a tight, white nurse's uniform that hugged every curve of her body. The top had only three buttons, barely containing what it needed to, and with her figure somewhere between a D and E cup, it created quite the spectacle. As for the skirt, it stopped just at the top of her thighs, paired with black stockings that did not leave much to the imagination—it was something straight out of a man's fantasy.Five minutes later, Melissa returned to the room with a breezy attitude."You men are so weird," she said, shaking her head. "That guy was sweating bullets from pain and still asked for my number!"Felix's expression darkened instantly. "Melissa, are you seriously planning to work in that?"She blinked in confusion and glanced down at herself, even spinning around for effect. "What's wrong? You're the doctor, and I'm the nurse. Isn't this what nurses wear?"Felix's eye twitched as he force

    "You must be quite famous to scare this kid just by showing up," Felix joked.Kurt remained respectful, remembering Clement's warning that if Felix were dissatisfied, Kurt's position would be forfeit. His status in Gray City might be impressive, but compared to Clement, he was nothing."Since he's troubled you, Mr. Zeller, I'll take him away and handle it to your satisfaction," Kurt offered.Huxley was terrified but knew he had to beg for mercy—if Felix spoke about this incident, the consequences would be devastating. Everyone knew those who crossed Kurt met terrible fates, often along with their families."Please, no!" Huxley sobbed, but Felix waved dismissively."Get out of here, and don't let this happen again," Felix said, having no interest in wasting time on such trivial matters."You heard Mr. Zeller," Kurt prompted.Huxley scrambled away, vowing never to harass anyone again, no matter how ordinary they seemed.After George and Kurt left 30 minutes later, Felix finally h

    Huxley relaxed slightly when the Rolls-Royce drove away, and the crowd began to thin. After all, everyone had at least one wealthy friend—this he could handle."Nelly, this little show doesn't make Felix any more impressive," Huxley mocked, pointing at the Lamborghini. "Anyone can rent a luxury car nowadays with some cash. So what's your answer about tonight?"Before Nelly could respond, Felix pulled her inside the clinic. "There's someone I want you to meet."Huxley was furious but hesitated to act with George present, deciding to wait until the Lamborghini left before teaching Felix a lesson."Mr. Gibson is frustrated he couldn't make it back from abroad, but he arranged for a gift that should arrive soon," George mentioned, referring to Ryan rather than Clement as Felix initially thought.Felix sighed. "Please don't make arrangements like this without asking. If everyone shows up, how am I supposed to run a normal clinic?" Gray City and Avesburgh were about the same size, an

    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. "Do you actually think having Clement back you up makes you untouchable? What's your c

    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
