Nerissa could clearly sense how deeply Deborah cared for Felix. Even though most people in Martial City would let things go for the sake of political alliances and self-interest, Deborah was not one of them."Madam Goddard, please try to stay calm," Nerissa urged gently. "Before you returned, I kept an eye on the Maximus family. They're already gone—Dean lost control and killed several people before fleeing. No one knows where they are now."Deborah clenched her teeth in rage. Of course, Dean would plan ahead, knowing full well that after driving Felix to his death, both she and Harmony Clinic would retaliate.Deborah replied, "Thank you for the information. I'll handle the rest from here."…Two days later, Deborah sat cross-legged outside Echo Cavern. Dickson and Shepherd stood silently beside her, keeping her company as she stared into the cavern's dark entrance.Ezra, the head of one of Harmony Clinic's branches, approached. He asked, "She's still not leaving, huh?""Yeah,"

In Denverville, Jared maniacally laughed as he read the latest news. "Harmony Clinic put out a massive bounty on the Maximus family!"That means Felix is dead for sure! Serves him right! Suddenly, I don't feel so bad for being punished by Dad!" "Wow, Jared, what's got you laughing like a lunatic?" A woman sauntered into the room. She was stunning, dressed in short, tight-fitting shorts that showed off her curves. The way she walked, with her hips swaying hypnotically, could steal the breath of anyone watching from behind."Oh, Joanna! Nothing major, just in a good mood."The woman was Joanna Yorker, the eldest daughter of the Yorker family, who was a dominant power in Denverville. Jared was clearly no match for her in terms of status."I'm here to ask about Nerissa. Where's the person I asked for? The deadline was three days ago. You're not usually late like this," Joanna said, her voice laced with impatience.Jared scratched the back of his head awkwardly and leaned in to w

Felix noticed that the oppressive darkness around him seemed to thin ever so slightly. It was such a subtle change that an ordinary person would not have sensed it, but with his heightened awareness, he picked up on it immediately."Finally, some progress. Let's keep going," he muttered to himself, determination flaring in his eyes.…Time passed, and three months slipped by in the outside world. The frenzy surrounding Harmony Clinic's bounty on the Maximus family began to die down. Despite the massive search effort, no one could find any trace of them. It was as if they had vanished into thin air.Rumors circulated that the Maximus family might have fled to the capital. After all, how else could they avoid being discovered by so many skilled trackers? Regardless of the speculation, Deborah's health rapidly deteriorated.The loss of her beloved apprentice, coupled with her inability to avenge him, had broken her spirit. Bern personally diagnosed her condition and could only sigh i

Felix muttered, "Let's hope this thing is worth it. Otherwise, all that suffering wasn't worth it."He sighed and looked around again before chuckling bitterly. "But how the hell do I get out of here?"Suddenly, a flash of white light illuminated the cave. A new opening appeared in the stone wall ahead, glowing softly."It's Lumen!" Felix exclaimed in shock. The light had come from Lumen, confirming its presence.He stepped through the newly formed entrance without hesitation. The moment he passed through, his vision blurred, and he instinctively shut his eyes.When he finally adjusted to the brightness and opened them again, he saw something he had not seen in what felt like an eternity—the sun."Am I really out?" Felix whispered in disbelief.Turning around, he saw the entrance to Echo Cavern. As soon as his eyes landed on it, the entrance began to collapse, sealing itself shut within moments."It looks like Echo Cavern only existed because of Lumen. Now that Lumen has merged

Nellie quickly covered her mouth. If it weren't for Felix's reminder, she might have screamed out loud.However, she soon regained her composure and demanded, "Evidence!"After all, this was a person who had been dead for over three months. Since he had reappeared via a phone call instead of in person, Nellie had every reason to be skeptical. After all, Felix had entered Echo Cavern, one of the Three Forbidden Lands—surviving that was almost impossible.Felix had anticipated this reaction, so he gave his answer without hesitation. "Back when I first arrived, Nellie, you tried to... do something to me. Does that count as evidence?"How could Nellie not believe him? That kind of thing was something only the two of them knew. No one else could possibly be aware of it.Suppressing the wave of emotions inside her, Nellie said urgently, "Then hurry back!"Even though she had a million questions, she knew this wasn't the time to ask."Nellie, I know Madam Goddard is worried about me,"

"Madam Goddard, these are your favorite foods," Nellie said softly.Deborah's lips moved slightly. "I don't have an appetite. Take it away."Setting the food down, Nellie walked over to her. Using telepathy, she told her, "You'll definitely eat today because I just got a call. It was from Felix. He used someone else's phone to call me."What? Deborah sat bolt upright, her gaze sharp and piercing. "What did you just say?"Nellie was startled by her reaction."I wouldn't dare lie to you, especially not about Felix. I'm not sure how he escaped from Echo Cavern, but he's alive. That much is certain, and I've already confirmed it. It was definitely him."At that, Deborah grabbed both of Nellie's arms tightly. "When… When is he coming back?""Felix said he needs to handle something very important while pretending to be dead. Once it's done, he'll come back to see you. He asked me to tell you but also to keep it a secret. Don't let anyone else know."Tears of joy welled up in Deborah'

The stone Averill gave to him had proven its worth. She had mentioned that if Ophelia were nearby in Martial City, the stone would react once they were within a certain range. At the moment, it was perfectly validating her claim.In Martial City, Deborah cared abundantly for him. On top of that, Nerissa was insistent on getting engaged with him upon their first meeting. Nonetheless, it was not his home. Sensing Ophelia's presence made his heart race with excitement."A genius who isn't one of the Top Ten Menaces? I love tormenting your kind," a voice said.Just as Felix tucked the stone away, a man and a woman appeared ahead. Both were sneering at him."He's so handsome, isn't he?" the woman said, turning to the man. "Husband, don't kill him outright. I want him as my boy toy! With that face and his strength, he'd be so much fun to play with!"Their appearances were so hideous that they were almost comical. If it weren't for the oppressive aura they deliberately emitted—proof th

"Stop overthinking. Are you hungry? Let me cook for you," said Ophelia.Felix nodded. He was more than just hungry. After months of surviving on fasting pills, he hadn't had a real meal in ages. His craving for food had only intensified.Half an hour later, Felix was devouring the meal ravenously while Ophelia watched him with a beaming smile."By the way, Ophelia, why are you in a place like Ghosttown?" he asked between bites.He wasn't worried about her safety. After all, her strength was indisputable. To be honest, even though he had reached the Transcendent Realm, he still couldn't gauge the true level of his fellow apprentices' abilities. Each had mastered different skills, making it even harder to deduce."I like it here," Ophelia replied with a grin. "I've killed plenty of scum, and now my reputation keeps most trouble away. Life here is peaceful and free, unlike the city. It's too complicated there."Fair enough. The city was full of tangled power struggles where "killing
