"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
On the only empty viewing platform, Zayn took a seat with only one other person. Joanna and Howie immediately stood up and saluted. "Oh! The sixth prince came just to see me?" Joanna had always wanted to marry into the royal family, and she liked the sixth prince a lot. Her family had also tried to match them up several times—but there was no clear connection."Don't think about it too much. As far as I know, Zayn has been quite active recently, and he has been going in and out of the four major cities," Howie explained to Joanna. Still, she didn't get angry."It's fine. There's still plenty of time for us to get together. One day, the sixth prince will notice me," she said.Zayn was in a good mood as he sat down. He had initially planned to leave Denverville—but since he heard that the Hughmans and Yorkers were fighting, he came to take a look out of boredom.However, no matter where he turned, Felix caught his eye! "Felix!" Zayn gritted his teeth. The only time he was humil
The sun finally set, but Denverville was lit up, and the arena was as bright as day. Most of the lights were around the arena—covering every corner."Felix, please." Nala turned toward Felix, a tear falling down her cheek.When he saw this, he said solemnly, "You will be Nala Hughman from now on." They took a deep breath, stood up, and walked forward in sync. At this point, everyone standing below could see them clearly.Nala slowly took off her veil, and the black and red scabs on her face were displayed in front of an audience for the first time. There was a hiss as everyone took a sharp breath of air. Some even covered their eyes!It was truly terrifying. No matter how beautiful Nala's eyes were, they couldn't overshadow the scars on her face. Even looking at her for over a few seconds would upset the audience.Nala was suffering from pure humiliation as she stood there. On the other hand, Joanna was laughing so hard she could barely cover her mouth. This had all been agreed
