Alistair was stunned. Felix had only mentioned that he had something extremely important to discuss with Xena. However, he didn't mention what it was about.Hearing that it was about Sonny, Alistair was utterly shocked. Sonny was no ordinary person. Among the Thirteen Aces on the list of Super S-rank wanted criminals, none were ordinary characters. And now, one was inside the building?Similarly, Xena turned around abruptly, staring at Felix. "Do you know what you're saying?"Felix nodded. "I do, and I wouldn't joke with you about something like this."With that, he took the lead and went inside, seemingly not caring about whether Xena would follow.Biting her lip, Xena eventually walked in, glaring at Alistair. "Why didn't you say anything sooner?"Alistair looked helpless. "What could I say? I didn't know anything, either."Once inside, they saw Sonny sitting on the floor, and both drew deep breaths.Who would have thought that after so many years of manhunts and deploying

"Felix, you really do everything quietly. I already know about the situation at the orphanage. I didn't dare tell Sherlyn. She would definitely have cried her heart out," Ernest said. He patted Felix on the shoulder."Now that I see you're as healthy as they say, even if you've lost your martial skills, I'm finally a bit relieved. You won't blame me for not calling, will you?"Felix chuckled. "Listen to you, sir. It's not that big a deal. Keeping it from Sherlyn was a wise choice."Experienced, Ernest quickly understood what Felix meant.When the dishes were served, Jairo also joined them at the table. The four shared a cheerful meal."Ahem! Grandpa, did you forget something?" Halfway through the conversation, Sherlyn interrupted Ernest with a playful look. He quickly changed the topic. "Felix, tomorrow is my birthday. You must come to the party."A birthday for someone Ernest's age was certainly worth celebrating."I wouldn't miss it for the world! I'll definitely be there!

The next moment, a voice from outside reached everyone's ears. "Mr. Holt Senior, I apologize for the abrupt visit. It's Silas."Ernest glanced at Jairo."Aren't you familiar with Silas? Why all that fuss?"Jairo smiled wryly. He just wanted to be certain. He muttered as he headed for the door, "Silas always has to make an entrance, doesn't he?"Realizing it was a false alarm, Felix left the table. Despite everything, Silas was a senior who had even saved him once, so proper etiquette was necessary.It was normal for someone of Ernest's status to know Silas.When Silas entered and saw Felix, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes visible beneath his mask."How would you have time to visit an old man like me? Have you eaten? Come and join us."Only after Ernest spoke did Silas reply, saying, "I've already eaten. I came to discuss something with you, Mr. Holt Senior. Is it a good time?""Let's go."The two went upstairs, and Sherlyn called Felix back to continue eating.About t

Ernest couldn't say more at this point. Felix had to make the decision himself."Alright! Silas, I promise you that I will not contact Zara and won't speak to her even if we meet."Silas seemed visibly relieved, and he stood up. "Thank you. I hope you remember what you said today. Mr. Holt Senior is also a witness."Felix's mind was flooded with questions, but he knew that even if he asked, he wouldn't get any answers.But no matter what, he still owed Zara another favor. If she ever asked for anything, he would certainly repay her, and that wouldn't mean violating his promise to Silas.…While Felix was at Yardley Dining refining the Dragonspine, a major event occurred in Yartford. The upper echelons of society had received a piece of news.Ryan, one of the top suitors of Nala, unexpectedly withdrew from the competition.He had worked hard to be acknowledged by the other suitors, even boldly declaring that he would never give up as long as Nala remained unmarried. Who would ha

Yvonne, who had followed them in, was just as baffled. Normally, Nala wouldn't care about such matters. Whether there were new suitors or someone chose to withdraw from the competition, it was all insignificant to her.But this time, she had come in person to question it, which was surprising.Ryan was equally shocked. Nala's actions seemed beneath her stature, as if implying that he, a mere suitor, were important to her."Why are you interested in knowing my reason?" he asked.George looked on with curiosity. This was unprecedented."Why? Is it wrong to be interested? Just tell me if you're willing to," Nala replied.Frowning slightly, Ryan spoke up, "There's no real reason. I'm tired, and there are plenty of people better than me. My odds were always low, so stepping aside is only natural."He didn't dare mention Felix's identity as the student of the revered medical doctor. Only a fool would miss out on that kind of detail.From the gleam in Nala's eyes, it was clear that sh

In Canraville, after four hours of refining the Dragonspine, Felix drove his Range Rover away. After only a short distance, he was blocked by a Rolls-Royce Cullinan.Two people stepped out of the car. One was Aimee, Xena's cousin, and the other was an unfamiliar but handsome young man."Felix, get out!"Aimee gestured for him to step out. Seeing that Felix was ignoring her, she walked over and knocked on the window.Knowing that Aimee wouldn't give up, Felix rolled down the window. "Are you done yet?"Aimee glanced at Felix coldly. "Felix, are you a man or not? Do your words mean nothing? You said you have nothing to do with my cousin anymore, so why did you meet her again?"Felix found it amusing. Aimee was so full of herself that she dared to interfere with the goddess of war's business."That was the last we would meet."At this moment, the young man next to her spoke up, "My name is Finnley Walsh, eldest son of the Walsh family, which is one of Aleshire's most prominent fam

Wendy felt a warm happiness in her heart. Were she and Felix a perfect match? Even outsiders seemed to notice that.But when she saw the darkened expression on the young man's face, she realized the gravity of the situation."He's not my boyfriend. If he needs anything, he'll come and look himself.""Understood, Ms. Kinsley."The young man stepped closer, looking displeased. "Boyfriend? Wendy, do you think I, Dylan Fraser, am someone to be toyed with?"Wendy frowned."Dylan, I don't know how I've offended you. Even if I do have a boyfriend, what does that have to do with you?""What?"Taking a deep breath, Dylan sneered. "Fine. It has nothing to do with me, right? From now on, business between our families is over. That's the price for lying to me."Truth be told, Dylan was quite impressive in many ways and would have been a suitable match if he was not such a playboy. He was known for being a womanizer, and he didn't bother to hide it at all.Rumor had it that he was seeing

Jack glanced at Felix with a smirk and teased jokingly, "What else can I do? You made my relationship with the general manager hit rock bottom. I might have to run away now."Vanessa was speechless. She knew Felix was extraordinary, and only Jack would dare speak to him this way."Don't forget Maddy's engagement party the day after tomorrow. She asked me to remind you.""I promised her, so I'll definitely be there."Refining the Dragonspine was a top priority, but attending an event in Yartford wouldn't be a problem, either. If he went late at 4:00 am, began the training, and returned the next day, nothing would be delayed.After going to the restroom, Felix came back to find Jack suddenly pulling Vanessa to her feet."Sorry, Felix. We've got to go. Something came up."Felix was puzzled. "Do you need my help?"They had planned to have drinks, so them leaving abruptly made Felix concerned."There's nothing you can do. We're leaving!"Vanessa looked helpless and, with her strai

Felix ultimately arrived at the Wolfie troops' base, though he was quite hesitant and didn't even know why himself.He followed Alistair down to an underground room, where Xena was already present. Sonny was confined in a cell, looking haggard and clearly having endured some tough days, though it meant little for someone like him."Sonny, I'm here. You can speak now."Xena felt complicated. She was about to hear the truth. She would finally know whether there was a hidden story or if Felix truly was a coward.Sonny grinned, stood up, and slowly approached the iron bars, looking at Felix. "You're here."Suddenly, his hysterical laughter echoed through the underground space. "You really came. This woman, Xena, must mean a lot to you! But so what? You're here, and I was just toying with you. You tricked me once, so now, we're even."Felix was emotionless. He hadn't expected that Sonny summoned him just for this.Xena shook her head and turned to leave, but Alistair became anxious

Just as Felix was about to turn away, Ernest saw him and called out, "Felix!"With no other choice, Felix braced himself and walked over.As expected, Xena frowned upon seeing him."Mr. Holt Senior, I'll take my leave for now," she said.Felix and Ernest had been neighbors back in Avesburgh. Since Xena came to know Felix's medical skills, she expected that Felix would show up at Ernest's birthday party tonight.Ernest, without thinking too much, smiled and looked at Felix. "Felix, let me introduce you. This is my son, Isaac Holt, Sherlyn's father."Isaac, in the prime of his career, had a dominant presence. He spoke respectfully to Ernest but turned his sharp gaze toward Felix."Are you interrogating a criminal?" Ernest immediately chastised him. A hint of helplessness flashed in Isaac's eyes.Felix had charmed Sherlyn completely, and as her father, Isaac couldn't even give him a stern look?"Hello, Mr. Holt," Felix said as they shook hands.Isaac nodded. "Hello. I've heard
