Early in the morning, Felix was leisurely strolling through the park in Tabiner Bay, breathing in the fresh air. After a short walk, he paused. His attention was caught by an elderly man who was standing nearby. Beside the old man was a beautiful woman, and a middle-aged man stood a few steps behind them."This old man."Felix studied the elderly man for a moment, hesitating before he finally decided to approach."Grandpa, what do you think of Tabiner Bay?" the woman asked, her bright eyes sparkling. The old man nodded approvingly as he looked around. "It's nice and peaceful. It's a good place to spend my retirement. But, ah… There's no place quite like home."The woman smiled, her eyes full of affection. "There's even a fishing area here. I think it's perfect for you, Grandpa! But I won't have much time to visit you if you stay here. Are you sure you don't want to live with us?"Just as the old man was about to respond, a voice interrupted, "Excuse me, sir."Felix had approa

"Grandpa! Is what he's saying true? How could that be possible?" Sherlyn Holt gasped in disbelief.The old man let out a bitter smile and nodded. "Yes, Sherlyn. Around midnight every night, I've been suffering from severe abdominal pain. I've had my medical team and a few highly regarded doctors examine me privately, but none of them could find the cause. "Since I wasn't experiencing any other issues, I didn't want to worry you, so I kept it from you."After revealing this, his expression grew thoughtful. "I never thought that I would encounter such a young master healer here in Avesburgh at my age. It seems fate is being kind to me."Jairo and Sherlyn were stunned and speechless. How could they believe that Felix, whom they had initially dismissed as a charlatan, was now being hailed as a master healer?"Sherlyn, apologize to him."Taking a deep breath, Sherlyn walked over to Felix and apologized respectfully, "I'm sorry for my rash behavior earlier. Please, forgive me and he

Not long after Felix returned home, the doorbell rang. To his surprise, it was Yvonne, the woman he had met at the cemetery. Felix couldn't help but feel a bit suspicious. Was she following him?Still, he opened the door and stepped outside.Yvonne stood there holding a gift box, her face showing clear surprise when she saw Felix. "Felix? You live here?"Felix nodded. "Yeah. Why do you look so shocked?"Pointing to the villa next door, Yvonne smiled. "What a coincidence! I just moved to Avesburgh and needed a place to stay. A friend recommended Tabiner Bay, and I thought I should introduce myself to the neighbors. I never expected it to be you!"Felix laughed at the unlikely twist. "Well, now that you know it's me, there's no need to bring any gifts."Yvonne's genuine personality was becoming more evident to Felix, and he realized that Phillip's support of her years ago hadn't been shortsighted."Honestly, I'm a bit envious," Yvonne admitted with a playful smile. "You've g

"That bastard, Felix! You invited him to dinner, and he's over 20 minutes late!" Belle complained angrily.Xena, however, remained calm. "It's fine. He has his reasons for being upset. But if he can't even handle this, it only confirms what I've always thought of him—he won't achieve much."After a pause, something seemed to cross her mind. "Have we heard anything from Joe?"Belle shook her head. "No. We haven't been able to reach him. I don't know what's going on with him. He just disappeared without a word. It's strange."Jordan's sudden and unexpected disappearance was weighing on Xena's mind. She knew why he had returned to Avesburgh—he was clearly trying to pursue her again. But for him to vanish just days later didn't add up."Never mind. If we can't contact him, there's no use worrying. He might have his reasons."At that moment, the door to the private room opened, and Felix finally walked in."Felix! Do you even know what time it is? Who shows up this late?" Belle shout

Callum didn't take Wendy's warning seriously at all. "Let it be. It's time you both met some of the connections my father has. Maybe this will help spark some chemistry between Hugo and Wendy," he muttered confidently. He knew very well what gave Wendy her confidence—Felix's connection to Kane. But could Kane really dominate all of Avesburgh? The answer was obviously no.…Meanwhile, night had fallen at Tabiner Bay, and Wendy was sitting on the couch in Felix's villa, her face tense."What brings you here tonight?" Felix asked, genuinely curious. He knew her visit wasn't about the herbs this time."Felix, I'm sorry," she said suddenly.Her unexpected apology made him frown. "What do you mean?"For Wendy to show up personally, Felix knew it had to be something significant."It's about Hugo. I couldn't stop him, and now, he's made his move. I only just found out when my father and I went to talk with his father, Callum. Unfortunately, it didn't help. They seem to be relying on

Earlier, everyone had been at the entrance to welcome the guests.To be honest, Hugo couldn't see anything particularly special about the elderly man. He was sitting in an 80-thousand-dollar Cadillac CT6, accompanied by a middle-aged man and a beautiful woman.Unexpectedly, the elderly man was actually so formidable."I'm not sure about Mr. Holt's status, but he's undoubtedly significant. Dealing with Lord Kane should be a breeze for him. Even your grandpa said that Mr. Holt maintains ties with our family because of your great-aunt."After saying that, Callum suddenly became serious. "Have you developed feelings for that young lady?"Although Hugo didn't respond directly, his eyes spoke volumes."Keep your feelings in check! You're not in a position to touch that woman. The gap between you and her is too vast to bridge. Focus on dealing with Wendy. That plan is critical, and we cannot fail."Was it that serious?Before Hugo could process his thoughts, a Mercedes G-Wagon drove i

Seeing Callum's confidence, Kane shook his head and waved his hand, signaling Stinger and his team to release Hugo and step back."Very well, Callum. I'm curious to see what kind of backup you have to defeat me."Felix had ordered this task, and Kane needed to handle it thoroughly with no loose ends. Any hint of trouble reaching Felix would be seen as a serious dereliction of duty."Ha! You're indeed someone of great stature, Lord Kane. Your action now might help you avoid some blame."At this moment, four people emerged from the house behind them—two elderly men, a middle-aged man, and a beautiful woman."Kane, is it true that you're here to take Hugo?" Once they stopped, Callum's father, Edward Lambert, was the first to speak. His tone carried a certain air of authority."Indeed. He has crossed the wrong people. What problem could there be with me taking him away?"After saying that, Kane shifted his gaze to Ernest, who was standing next to Edward.Despite Ernest's plain appe

Felix was satisfied with this outcome. Ernest did not immediately drive Kane out because of Hugo."Felix Zeller? How dare you show up?" Hugo sneered upon seeing Felix."The Lord Kane you were so proud of will leave defeated. Do you really think you can turn things around? What a joke!"Before Hugo could continue, Callum slapped him across the face. "Shut up! This is not your place to speak."What a foolish son! With Ernest present, Hugo should be trying to make a good impression as an innocent party. His provocation only served to bring momentary pleasure and greater loss."Sir?" Ernest, recognizing Felix, immediately stepped forward to stand in front of him."Mr. Holt Senior, it's a surprise to see you again so soon," Felix greeted.Following behind, Sherlyn had a surprised expression."Are you the one with a grudge against Hugo?" Ernest, being an elder, could quickly discern the situation.Before Felix could respond, Edward was already anxious. "Do you know him, Mr. Holt Sen

Upon receiving Felix's assurance, Hugo leaped up. "No, no! Thank you, Mr. Zeller, for this opportunity. Thank you!"Hugo grasped Felix's hand with both of his, showing immense gratitude. When he realized Felix was Ernest's savior, he thought his fate was sealed. To his surprise, the situation took a dramatic turn."Are you happy with this result, Mr. Holt Senior?" Felix asked as he prepared to leave.Ernest's eyes gleamed with a brief flash of insight, and he nodded. "Yes! Perhaps life's destiny is truly preordained."Felix smiled. As expected of someone who had survived the battlefield, Ernest saw through the essence of the handshake.On their way back, Kane couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Zeller, are you really letting Hugo off the hook? Regardless of your Dragon Lord status, you could have done whatever you wanted after saving Mr. Holt Senior's life."Felix shook his head. "No, Kane. You're still too caught up in the underworld mentality and seeing things narrowly."With Mr. Holt

The sun rose. Felix had finished his morning routine and was pacing back and forth in his room.He was debating whether he should approach Warren and seek forgiveness. Hugo's troubling actions toward Warren weighed heavily on Felix's conscience.He remembered clearly from his childhood that even Matthew had said more than once that Warren had a straightforward personality and would never let himself be taken advantage of. Yet now, because of him, Warren was trampled by Hugo and didn't dare say a word.Even though Felix had already dealt with Hugo, and Hugo's time was running out, he couldn't openly acknowledge it.Just then, Kane's call came through. "Mr. Zeller, I've found out that Warren left early this morning and is at the office of Concord Bank's deputy manager."Unable to contact Warren directly, Felix had asked Kane to find out."Got it." After hanging up, Felix made up his mind and drove to Concord Bank.…Half an hour later, in the office of Concord Bank's deputy manag
