Chapter 1178
Cordelia said, "Here! These are pills Madam Goddard has been developing. They'll boost fertility rates for martial artists like you. "If Felix still won't come around, find the right moment to corner him. Let's see him deny his feelings once there's a baby in the picture." Naomi stood there slack-jawed while Averill excitedly hugged Cordelia. Good lord, with a mother-in-law like this, how could their future be anything but bright? The next day, Felix visited Laura's place. With a wave of his hand, she felt their tight bond vanish. "Mr. Zeller! What did I do wrong?" Laura was on the verge of tears. Their master-servant bond had been severed. "Nothing. I'm giving you your freedom. Isn't that good?" Felix found it strange. He had also released Selmer and Louise from their bonds. Louise had sent a quick thanks over WhatsApp, but Selmer and Laura were carrying on like the world was ending despite being grown-ups. "Please, no. Mr. Zeller, I'm begging you to keep me. Without y

Felix tensed up. The voice wasn't Eunice's—it was a man's. He immediately knew it was Ashton, someone he had met briefly before. There was no doubt about it. "There's no point in reasoning with someone like you, is there?" Felix retorted.Since Ashton had laid it out so plainly, Felix saw no reason to hold back. He wasn't the cautious person he used to be. Now, he had the strength to face challenges head-on. "Good, at least you're man enough not to beat around the bush. Horace was my last relative in this world. You killed him, so you'll pay a terrible price for that." As one of the Eight Guardians under the Ancient Sage, Ashton was both powerful and well-connected. He was not interested in hearing explanations or excuses. "Fine by me. I'll be waiting." Felix hung up with a cold smile, feeling a surge of excitement. Sarah had stopped them that time, but it seemed inevitable that they would have to show down with Ashton, a Grandmaster. Though Felix had not reached his peak
Chapter 1180
"Shut up! You eat the pizza, you pay for it—unless you want to come with us. It's a small business; are you really that cheap?" Keith Blackburn, captain of the local Law Enforcement Team, spoke without bothering to investigate. Gert opened his mouth to argue but backed down. Getting taken in was no joke. "Fine. I'll pay." Though Anton did not say anything more, his smug expression said enough to make anyone's blood boil. "Hold it!" A voice rang out. Keith and Anton frowned; who'd dare speak up now? They must have a death wish. But when they saw who it was, everyone froze, then quickly bowed. "Greetings, Grandmaster Zeller!" But Keith's team used a different title. "Lord Zeller." Felix's face was stone-cold as he looked at Gert. "Where's the pizza you just ate?" Gert went pale, trembling. "I'm sorry, Grandmaster Zeller. It's… it's all my fault. It really was." He was terrified, as he had not expected Felix to be right there. Everyone knew Felix grew up in the capital,
Chapter 1181
Felix announced, "Everyone here can take out their phones to record and share this with everyone in Newtown. If anyone thinks I'm putting on a show, so be it. I'm just doing what I believe in." Despite his words, no one dared pull out their phones. Everyone knew exactly who Felix was. Within ten minutes, people started flooding in. There were officials from the headquarters and martial artists who had moved here from Martial City. The crowd kept growing. "Mr. Zeller." Alistair had shown up too, his eyes gleaming with a strange glint. "Lord Zeller, what's with all this drama?" Minutes later, four luxury cars pulled up. A young man stepped out, his face dripping with arrogance. He clearly did not think much of Felix. Alistair said, "My Lord, that's Laurent Norton, Newtown's commissioner appointed by headquarters." Felix's brow furrowed at Alistair's words. How could they possibly put this fool in charge of such an important city? The man was still stuck in the Innate Re

"Felix, this young man is a descendant of an old friend of mine. He's been spoiled rotten and doesn't know when to shut up. Please don't take him seriously." Felix watched Laurent, who still looked defiant despite being slapped. Now he understood the arrogance—this man had connections to the Protector. "Let me ask you, sir. What's more important—your feelings for an old friend, or the fate of our nation? I don't understand why such an important place as Newtown would be handed to this triple-threat of incompetence. "He has weak powers, zero emotional intelligence, and not a brain cell to spare. Have you turned foolish too?" Already fuming, Laurent roared, "Felix Zeller! How dare you lecture the Protector himself? This is treason! Arrest him now!" Laurent's men just looked at each other awkwardly. Arrest him? With what, their mouths? Come on, everyone knew how powerful Felix was. Did this idiot even have a functioning brain? The Protector did not seem angry at all. He just l

"We do!" The crowd roared in unison. Felix's actions today proved they had not made a mistake following him to the capital. Nothing about this felt staged, and they weren't foolish enough to miss that. As the crowd dispersed, Felix remained troubled. He had been blind to something obvious all along—people can be real pieces of work when given the chance. If this situation had continued, wouldn't people have lost faith? Everyone understood that voluntary cooperation would beat forced compliance any day. At least he had stepped in. He had sent a clear message by bringing down the hammer without even sparing the Protector's feelings. Nobody would dare try the same tricks again; making an example of one person was always the most effective way. "Alistair, you all knew about this already, didn't you?" From Alistair's arrival to the prepared evidence against Laurent, Felix could easily connect the dots. "Yes, Lady Summers arranged everything. You know that when the Protector is

Barry asked, "So Felix, have you faced those Malevolent Phantoms yet?" Felix nodded. "Yeah. They're not as scary as you might think. The first time is rough, but it gets easier. That said, the powerful ones are really terrifying." Upon hearing these words from someone like Felix, Barry felt a chill. After all, Felix's power was already off the charts in everyone's eyes. Good times always flew by, and the days of rest vanished in a blink. At ten in the morning, Felix stood at Newtown's airport. "Stop acting like we're saying our final goodbyes. You two are something else." Cordelia wiped away tears, giving Deborah the same reproachful look. "You can't imagine how much a mother would shed tears for her son. I'm just making up for lost time." Deborah was speechless, though secretly excited. After years of hard work, she could finally relax without worry. "Hey, what a coincidence! Are you guys heading out too? Where?" Bern and his daughter Natalie appeared suddenly, and Ber
Chapter 1185
There was a woman standing in front of the car despite the downpour. What gave Laura the creeps was the woman's bright red dress and matching red umbrella. Her face wore a smile that spread an eerie atmosphere around her."Should we go around her, Felix?"The rain was coming down so hard that no other cars were visible on this stretch of road. Laura figured the woman might have some mental issues."I'll go check it out."Upon hearing this, Laura considered another possibility. "Could it be a Malevolent Phantom?"If so, Laura needed to stay alert. This would be her first encounter with one. Even if she wasn't qualified to fight, she could at least observe carefully."Not sure." Felix thought there could only be two explanations for the current situation. Either this woman was mentally disturbed, or she was indeed a Malevolent Phantom. The heavy rain and lack of surveillance cameras made this an ideal spot for murder, though the location was somewhat unexpected. As Felix steppe
