Zayn looked visibly displeased. He had never seen Felix before, but he trusted the reports from his subordinates. Felix had definitely entered Echo Cavern, so what was going on now?After separating from Nerissa, Felix turned to Wilson, clasping his hands in respect. "Mr. Xavier, I greet you. I've come today to formally propose marriage and to select the best date to marry Nerissa."Wilson was momentarily stunned, struggling to process what was happening. He even began to wonder if all the talk about Echo Cavern was a joke. Otherwise, how could Felix still be alive? "So, you're the Felix mentioned in the marriage contract?"Felix nodded with a smile. "That's correct. I've come to honor that prenuptial agreement."Before anyone could respond, Zayn's voice cut through. "Westley Xavier, who arranged that prenuptial agreement, hasn't been seen in quite some time. Do you really think that agreement still holds? Even if you miraculously survived Echo Cavern, do you think you're worthy
The royal family was truly extravagant. They had given generous gifts merely as a meeting present. With just these gifts, anyone in Martial City wouldn't have to worry about food and necessities for the rest of their lives!Wilson's smile indicated that he was satisfied. His gaze was fixed on Felix, ready to say something."Boy, since you foolishly came to propose empty-handed, don't blame me for making an issue out of it!" Wilson thought.On the side, Janet rolled her eyes. Although Felix truly fulfilled his promise like a real man, he lacked emotional intelligence—he had come to propose a marriage empty-handed!However, Nerissa didn't care. She knew what kind of person Felix was, and that was enough."Of course, I didn't come empty-handed, Mr. Xavier. This is my gift." As Felix pulled out a small wooden box, Zayn almost burst out laughing. "Hahaha! You really have no respect for the Xaviers! These types of boxes can only hold three pills at most! Even if it's a high-grade pi
"Felix! I was just testing you, why are you leaving?" Wilson cried out, sweating profusely. There were murderous glares from the elders all around him. Besides, how could he not know how precious the Ascencion Pills were? Now, whatever gifts Zayn had brought were nothing in comparison. If just one pill was auctioned, it would surpass every other treasure! However, only a fool would put it up for auction. "So, you were joking? You really scared me, Mr. Xavier! Is the gift I prepared worthy of your attention, then?" Felix asked in mock concern.Wilson quickly smiled and nodded. "Of course, of course! The three Ascension Pills are absolutely great! It proves that you think highly of my daughter and the Xaviers! Please, take a seat."Just as Felix stepped up, Zayn said bitterly, "Only Harmony Clinic can refine three Ascension Pills in the whole of Martial City. Who are you?"Felix replied casually, "I'm nothing but a humble disciple. Deborah of Harmony Clinic is my mentor!"Every
In the end, Felix explained himself anyway—hoping that Nerissa could understand. Unexpectedly, after hearing it, Nerissa agreed without hesitation."Of course! I'm glad that you even told me about this! There was actually no need for that at all. As expected, men from the capital respect women more. Besides, if you can really cure Nala, you can also take her in."Felix smiled bitterly. Was that something that could be casually said? "Nala is also a gifted girl. I would be very proud of you as your wife if you married her."Fearing that Nerissa would continue saying such obscene things, he quickly went back to the Denverville branch of Harmony Clinic."So, nothing much happened?" Deborah asked.Felix shook his head. "No, just a guy called Zayn Palmer came. He seemed to be the sixth prince from the royal family."When Deborah heard this, she frowned. "The sixth prince? That man is incredibly vengeful, but he is royalty, after all. Without a public conflict, he wouldn't dare act t
"But even so, I don't dare to give you a definite answer because, besides the capital, there are still several other places that are possible," Dickson said.Felix immediately looked over eagerly. "Several other places?""Yes, the Three Forbidden Lands in Martial City. You were in Echo Cavern at the time, so that can be ruled out. The remaining places are Corpse Town and Misty Ridge." Felix was shocked. "Wouldn't those who enter the Three Forbidden Lands most likely die? Why would they go there?"Dickson stared at him strangely and replied, "Didn't 'you' come out alive? The Three Forbidden Lands just have an outrageous amount of deaths. But it doesn't mean that anyone who enters will die! You must understand that the Maximus family once produced a martial artist with one of the highest combat skills."All in all, it's more or less possible for them to go there."Really? Felix clenched his fists. He could take them on himself if they were truly hiding in the other two Forbidden L
The faces of the Hughmans, which were previously smiling, began to twitch crazily. Fuck, they had asked Nala to come and apologize. Yet, she had turned even more aggressive? Had she gone mad, or was she giving up?"Don't be mad, Joanna. Her mind hasn't been right ever since she came back.""Ms. Yorker, we've been trying to stop her from coming here. Please don't take it to heart."Some apologized, and some wanted to pull Nala away. If she said anything else, there would be no room for redemption, and the follow-up would be violent revenge. The Hughman family would be shakier than ever.If the Yorkers were decisive, it would truly be over for the Hughmans."Settling the past grudges with me? Are you even qualified to now?" Joanna ignored their comments and smiled non-stop as if she was hearing a joke."What? You said it back then, and now you're regretting it?" Nala sneered.When Joanna heard this, she remembered something and laughed even more exaggeratedly. "I almost forgot a
Currently, Nala sat on one of the benches on the viewing platforms. She looked calm on the surface, but her heart was far from composed. After all, she had waited so many years for this day, and it finally came.Any woman could understand this. Even if she wasn't born beautiful, no one wanted their face to be covered in scars."Nala, are you really sure?" a beautiful woman asked, placing a hand on Nala's shoulder. It was Nala's mother."Well, I'm confident he'll be able to. But if he can't, then I'm just destined to be like this in this life." As she spoke, an elegant-looking middle-aged man showed up on the other side. He patted Nala's hand—there were no words exchanged between them. But as her parents, they naturally stood firmly on their daughter's side.In fact, Nala was extremely grateful. Without the support of her parents, she might've actually committed suicide a long time ago. Not to mention, they had paid a great price back then to send her to live in the big city.Cro
"Felix, you didn't tell me that the battle was this grand!" Dickson was startled by the crowd at the scene. He turned and saw Felix smiling bitterly. "I didn't know this either. She only said it was in Denverville Arena. I didn't expect it to be so grand."Although Felix had participated in martial arts competitions in the capital, those who attended were famous figures. Unlike now, the arena was packed full of people."You're on your own now. I'll be watching you from the crowd," Dickson said.The two of them had been communicating with each other in whispers. Dickson quickly blended into the crowd. He didn't want to be noticed by anyone.Felix sighed—what else could he do at this point? He could only bite the bullet. When he reached the high platform, Nala came up to meet him. It was only then she realized something. "I'm sorry, Felix. I forgot how much you hate these types of scenes."Felix smiled and waved her off dismissively. "It's okay, I promised you anyway. I'll defi
