Chapter 1053
Only when the voice rang out did everyone notice someone had approached. They were all shocked. After all, their power should have detected any presence. Their amazement doubled when they saw it was Felix who had lifted Lloyd by the throat. "Felix! How are you still alive?" Lloyd was the most dramatic, his eyes filled with disbelief. Then, realizing his situation, he panicked. "Help me! Help me!" Despite consuming several pills, his body was still exhausted from using all his trump cards. He could barely move his fingers and speak more clearly than before. In every other way, he was in an utterly vulnerable situation.Just as the other three were about to move, a crisp snap echoed. Lloyd's neck went limp as Felix casually tossed him to the ground. "What's wrong? You're allowed to try killing me, but I'm not allowed to kill?" Without hesitation, the remaining three masters fled. They were clever enough not to separate, running in the same direction. Otherwise, they might ha

"Felix is right. We should head to Imperial City." Deborah felt helpless. All she could do now was worry about Felix. Even with several masters of Transcendence Realm backing them, challenging the royal family would be futile. As they continued their journey, Felix asked, "Madam Goddard, have you or Mr. Earnhart Senior ever met the royal alchemists?" The question made Deborah frown as she answered, "Yes. We've met them and know who they are, but their pill-forming rate remains a mystery." Her body tensed when she finished speaking."Are you saying the royal family attacked because they feared your presence would affect Martial City's Ascension Pill production?" When Felix nodded, Deborah, Ezra, and the others immediately grasped the implications."That explains how the royal family maintained so many masters of Transcendence Realm over the years. They must have eliminated any alchemist they thought could produce advanced pills at a higher rate." Everyone understood withou

Though unsure why Felix asked about this, Deborah answered, "We certainly do. Many attempt to steal pills or herbs from Harmony Clinic. Once caught, they fall under our jurisdiction. "So far, we've used them all as test subjects for our pills." This was perfect. Felix's newly formed plan could work. "Madam Goddard, since the royal family is so relentless, they'd kill openly in the city. Thus, nowhere is truly safe for me." He realized he had been naive earlier for wanting to rely on Cordelia's token and his own abilities while staying in the city. Shepherd's words had struck home. What if the royal family sent one of their most terrifying masters of Transcendent Realm to kill him? That would lead to two outcomes: either his death or Cordelia appearing publicly to save him. Their relationship would become known throughout Martial City. Even if others remained clueless, how could the royal family not figure it out?The danger would only escalate then. "So, what do you propose?

Hearing Andre's words, Felix asked, "And what if I had a way? One that guaranteed the royal family couldn't find me." Andre smiled. "If you really do, Shepherd and I will help you put on a show." Behind the wheel, Shepherd sighed. "Why drag me into this?" "Stop complaining! After this failed attempt, the royal family will contact you. Am I right?" Everyone in Martial City knew Shepherd valued profit above all else—at least to the ones in the car. Andre's words rang true."Fine. We'll put on a show. I'll be the good guy just for once," Shepherd agreed. Deborah smirked. Playing the good guy? He simply saw better odds backing Felix than the overbearing royal family.…In Imperial City, Zayn's face darkened as he hung up the phone. "Ean! Have you heard? The six masters of Transcendent Realm failed. It feels like a nightmare." Ean Palmer remained notably calmer, contemplating before speaking, "It seems Felix has multiple ways to save himself. Or perhaps Deborah arranged a hid
Chapter 1057
The fact that Aiden knew Felix's true identity was not surprising. Though he had been too young to remember Cordelia's face and status when Victor was alive, Meredith had known everything. Expecting panic from Felix, Aiden instead heard a calm telepathic response. "Really? Then, go tell the royal family. I'm right here in Imperial City. Let them come for me." Watching Felix enter the restaurant, Aiden clenched his fists before leaving."Did he think I'd be afraid?" Felix was not concerned. If Aiden meant to talk, he would have done so long before this encounter.It was obvious that Kevin had taken the Dragonspine from the Skeletal Demon for Aiden's sake. After all, Aiden had been searching for it in the capital. He must have missed Felix during that time when Felix was not around.Now, Aiden surely knew Felix had several Dragonspine pieces. He wouldn't tell the royal family about him. Because if Felix died, the Dragonspine would be lost forever.After eating, Felix entered th

As the moment approached, Felix signaled Shepherd, who sighed while stroking the steering wheel. "Ah, you've been with me for years. This time you probably won't even be fixable. Goodbye." His sudden betrayal would definitely destroy the car. He seemed to have a genuine attachment to it."Don't worry, I'll get you another one."Behind the Mercedes-Benz, four masters of Transcendent Realm followed. They were maintaining the maximum distance where they could see the G63 without being detected by its occupants. "Stay alert. We're far enough from Imperial City. They could act at any moment." The leader had barely finished speaking when a companion complained, "We should have thought to turn Shepherd earlier. We would have succeeded already.""Shut up! Focus on the task at hand."Suddenly, at the edge of their vision, the G63 exploded. They heard Andre's furious roar. "Shepherd! How dare you attack me?"The four immediately accelerated toward the scene."Felix! Run! Shepherd has
Chapter 1059
Felix was stunned. His casual conversation with Dickson had proven true. The person emerging from Corpse Town was none other than Dean.Back then, Dickson had joked that with such a high bounty and no trace of the Maximus family, there were only two possibilities. Either they had gone to the capital, or they had hidden in one of the Three Forbidden Lands.But how likely was the latter? Everyone in Martial City knew the Three Forbidden Lands were places of no return. Why would the entire Maximus family hide there?Yet, here was proof. Their elder—and only master of the Transcendence Realm—had appeared. What more evidence was needed?Seeing his enemy made Dean's blood boil. Once, he, the Grand Elder, and two masters of Transcendent Realm had worked together. But not only had they failed to capture Felix, but they also watched him survive the Echo Cavern—a place that should have meant certain death.Though hiding in Corpse Town, Dean occasionally ventured out in disguise. That was wh

Felix stroked his chin and began walking slowly in one direction. As he observed from this street, Corpse Town was clearly vast. He could not even see where it ended."What exactly are the dangers here?" Ophelia had only mentioned the correct order to enter the Three Forbidden Lands, saying nothing about what lay within. Perhaps she didn't know herself or believed following the sequence would keep Felix safe.But that didn't matter now. He was already inside.As he walked, a young waiter emerged from a building with a tavern sign, greeting Felix by asking, "Sir, would you like a room or a meal?"Felix studied him carefully with a frown before answering, "A meal."An ordinary person would have been terrified. That was because the waiter's feet hovered slightly off the ground, which was barely noticeable unless one looked closely. "Right this way, sir." Inside, the tavern buzzed with activity. Every table except one was filled with people laughing, drinking, and chatting merrily
