Seeing that Horace had finally calmed down, the middle-aged man standing nearby spoke up, "Mr. Sawyer, if you really can't let this go, there is a way to handle it."Horace shot him a dark look. "What way? My family has no ties with Yadiel. If things really escalate, he won't hold back. And if my father finds out that I got into a conflict with Yadiel over a woman, he'll kill me."Just from Yadiel's phone call, Horace could easily guess that Eunice had been putting on an act all along. Yadiel had business dealings with the Jamison family. That had to be the reason Felix escaped so easily."Damn it! He's just a food delivery guy. How dare he think he can land a woman like that?"He couldn't wrap his head around it. How was he any worse than Felix? The only explanation was that Eunice had some particular tastes that she had been hiding all this time."Mr. Sawyer, have you forgotten? Your father has Black Dog under his command, and he said you were allowed to use them once."Horace
When Felix returned with the coffee, he handed it over. In exchange, the person inside gave him a plastic bag. Curious, he peeked inside and found an autographed album."Lindsay Yarwood?"The name slipped out of his mouth as he looked at the woman on the signed album cover. She looked exactly like one of his high school classmates, who also shared the name Lindsay Yarwood.She had been quiet and reserved back in school, with hardly any friends. Most people barely knew anything about her. That would have been the end of it. However, on graduation day, someone pointed out something strange while looking at their class photos."Hey! Look at these two pictures. Doesn't Lindsay's face look exactly the same?"One was their graduation photo, and the other was a group picture from a school event back when they were sophomores. Upon closer inspection, they realized it was true. Everyone else had changed in some way. After all, three years had passed. However, Lindsay looked exactly the
"Thanks, but there's no way I'd sell something this valuable from an old classmate. I'm definitely keeping it," Felix said.Just as Lindsay was about to insist, Felix smiled and pulled out his phone. "Can we exchange contact info?"Without a second thought, Lindsay happily shared her number and even added him on WhatsApp. She had none of the aloofness one might expect from a celebrity."Lindsay, if you ever find yourself in trouble, something you can't handle on your own, try reaching out to me. Sometimes, things aren't always what they seem," Felix said.With that, he left. In a world filled with Malevolent Phantoms, running into an old classmate—especially one who was still so kind and genuine—was a rare and pleasant surprise. Whether or not she would actually contact him later wasn't something he needed to worry about.By the time he stepped out of the five-star hotel, it was already past 9:00 pm. He rode his electric scooter a short distance before turning into a dark alley.
Eunice was utterly terrified as she watched a burly man carry someone in and then roughly toss them onto the ground. It wasn't until then that she realized it was Felix.Horace grinned even wider. "That's right. If I remember correctly, his name is Felix Zeller, isn't it? Damn it! You'd rather mess around with some lowly delivery guy than give me a chance? You brought this on yourself!"With that, he gestured with his finger. "Wake him up!"Black Dog nudged Felix, and he came to."Are you awake now, Felix?"Felix looked at Horace, who was a complete stranger to him. However, what really caught him off guard was seeing Eunice there."My name is Horace Sawyer. Did you really think that getting Yadiel to warn me would be enough to keep you safe? "Watch closely. You're about to witness something unforgettable. In just a moment, your so-called goddess will be on her knees, completely at my mercy. This is the difference between you and me."Eunice's mind was racing. She knew Felix w
"Averill, I can assure you, your cycle is perfectly normal."In the courtyard of Tranquil Clinic in Eden Village, Felix Zeller slowly lifted his right hand with a look of helplessness.Before him stood six beautiful women, each with a unique charm. They were smiling as they patiently waited in line."But Felix, I don't feel well. Why don't you come to my room and do a thorough checkup?" Averill Davis said suggestively.Felix smiled wryly.Ever since his mentor, Gerald Hoffman, brought him to this village three years ago, he had faced constant teasing from these women, his fellow apprentices.Although he had gotten used to it, it was still tough to handle, especially when they were so alluring."Averill, don't push your luck.""Exactly! It's my turn now. Step aside. Don't even dream about having Felix all by yourself."As Leslie Brown sat in front of him, Felix sighed and pleaded, "Please, can't you all be more like Eloise, Dahlia, and Karina? Focus on your training and stop wa
By the time Felix stepped out of his room, everyone was already gone. With his departure, his fellow apprentices likely wouldn't stay in Eden Village either.Thinking about it made Felix fume. Three years ago, Gerald had brought him here and then disappeared without a trace. It was utterly irresponsible of him.The sounds of knocking pulled Felix from his thoughts.He looked up to see several unfamiliar faces standing at the courtyard gate. Even though the gate was open, they hadn't entered, showing some degree of politeness.Felix walked over and noticed a few Mercedes G-Wagons parked outside the clinic. Evidently, these were wealthy individuals."Excuse me. Is the miracle doctor here?" asked a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses, looking very refined. His name was Vincent Kinsley."The miracle doctor left this place almost three years ago."Vincent's face fell. The miracle doctor was a legend in Dragonia's medical world. He was their last hope, and now, he was gone.Besi
While Xena loved Curtis dearly and had tried every means to cure him, a troubling thought crept into her mind: she hoped he wouldn't wake up at this moment.That was because Felix was insufferable. Not only was he useless, but he also dared to act superior in front of a goddess of war like her. He clearly had no idea who he was dealing with.Felix didn't respond to her condescending remarks. Instead, he rushed over to check Curtis' pulse, his expression growing serious. "It's the Phantom Poison. No wonder."Xena frowned. "Are you saying Grandpa's been poisoned?""That's right. It's the most potent Phantom Poison there is. If it had been detected earlier, I could have neutralized it immediately. But it's been over a year, and it has become more complicated."We need some rare herbs to treat it. Thankfully, the master healers you contacted did a decent job. Though they couldn't remove the poison, they managed to keep him alive."Xena's expression twisted with a mix of emotions. "Lo
"Please, Dr. Fielding! Save my father. I'll give anything!" Vincent pleaded desperately.Bernard's life was crucial for the family, and as his son, Vincent was willing to do whatever it took.Xander sighed. "Your father will not make it through the night. But since I'm here, you have another option. I can extend his life by a month. Decide quickly."Before Vincent could respond, Bernard croaked out with great struggle, "D-Do it."Vincent quickly agreed. Prolonging Bernard's life for a month was better than losing him now.Meanwhile, Wendy had slipped out of the room, looking visibly torn as she held her phone. She remembered the phone number Felix had given them earlier that day due to her sharp memory."Grandpa, I'll do anything for you," she murmured, her face set with determination.…At a certain residential area in Avesburgh, Felix stood in front of a three-story villa, feeling a mix of emotions. It had been three years since he last saw Warren Quinton.Warren had been hi
