Chapter 1333
Holden held up a tiny transparent vial filled with a black liquid. The eerie part was that the liquid seemed to writhe and move as if it were alive. Even Felix felt uneasy looking at it, let alone Holden, who was just an ordinary person. "It should be," Felix said, trying to reassure him, though he was not entirely sure himself. "Let's take it up and show your dad first." Just as Holden was about to put the vial away, he paused. "Wait a second, Mr. Zeller. Did they even have transparent glass like this in the Bronze Age?" Felix frowned. "I'm pretty sure they didn't."To modern eyes, a transparent vial might seem ordinary. Yet, over 2000 years ago, such a thing would have been impossible in the Bronze Age. Felix continued, "Don't overthink it. Francis wasn't an ordinary man, and his creations defy logic. Besides, the text on the wall said to throw the vial away after drinking the liquid."Holden did not know that his question had sparked Felix's interest in the vial. If Franci

"Mr. Zeller, the inkstone is yours now," Paul said as he handed the inkstone over in the car. Felix smiled and replied, "Give me your account details, and I'll transfer the 100 million dollars to you. Also, if Holden doesn't change after having the baby, reach out to me. I'll return the inkstone. You can trust my integrity, right?"Paul did not hesitate for a second. "Of course, I trust you! Just the fact that you'd say that is beyond anything I could have imagined. Besides, without you, Holden would have been dead already."…Back at the hotel, Felix was too excited to sleep. He immediately placed the inkstone and the small vial on the table. But when he looked at the vial, he was stunned. He distinctly remembered Holden drinking every last drop of the black liquid two hours ago, yet now, there was a tiny amount of the liquid pooled at the bottom again."Could the black liquid regenerate itself?" Felix was thrilled by this discovery. It confirmed his suspicion that the vial wa

Felix arrived at the Rossum residence once again, where he found Paul sweating profusely, his eyes filled with worry "Mr. Zeller! I know you have connections and power. Please, you have to save Holden!" Paul was on the verge of tears, his voice trembling. After all the hardships they had endured, they had finally found the serum, only to face another crisis."Calm down first. Tell me what happened," Felix said, though he was equally frustrated. Everything had been going so smoothly, and now this? Someone had to interfere, and it left him deeply annoyed. Truthfully, Felix did not have to get involved, and Paul could have handled the land deal on his own. Then, if things went south, Felix could have stepped in later. But his conscience would not let him walk away. The Rossum family had given him enough benefits, and abandoning them now felt wrong."After we returned, Holden and I had a couple of drinks, then went to bed. I felt like I'd just fallen asleep when Holden's wife woke
Chapter 1336
Paul stood at the edge of the desert, his eyes fixed on the horizon, filled with anxiety. Zuera was a place of stark contrasts—to the east, endless vineyards stretched as far as the eye could see, while to the west, where he now stood, lay a barren desert area with uneven terrain, some spots rising as high as several dozen yards above the flat ground.The desert was home to nothing but an abandoned fertilizer factory, long shut down and left to decay. The area was desolate, with no signs of life, not even a single tree. The note specified the meeting point as this very factory, and Felix went in alone, instructing Paul to set up an airbag here. The plan was to throw Holden from a distance, ensuring he landed safely on the cushion.To be honest, Paul had initially thought Felix was joking. The idea of throwing someone that far seemed impossible, let alone ensuring they survived the fall. However, Felix had insisted it would work, so Paul had no choice but to trust him. Meanwhile

Felix glanced around, noticing two figures standing on rooftops about a hundred feet away on either side. Both were expressionless and had their eyes locked on him. They had appeared when he arrived, doing nothing but watching him intently."Two early-stage Transcendent Realm martial artists? This is your big gift for me? I thought the Eight Guardians didn't need help, and even if they did, it wouldn't be from these amateurs," Felix said, his tone mocking.Honestly, he could not see how two early-stage Transcendent Realm fighters could pose any threat to him. Even if they attacked him nonstop for three days, they would not be able to scratch him.Terrence let out a cold laugh. "Normally, the Eight Guardians wouldn't need help to deal with someone like you. But what they offered me was too good to refuse. The Ancient Sage never said outsiders couldn't be involved, so why not?" He shrugged and added, "Think of them as spectators. They won't be lifting a finger."He then gestured to

Felix's lips curled into a slight smirk as he launched his fists forward, moving so fast that even afterimages were hard to see. His punches collided violently with Terrence's serpent, grizzly, saber, and panther-like energy forms. The sheer force of their clash instantly reduced the entire fertilizer plant to rubble, as if it had never existed in the first place.Terrence's excitement grew, and he laughed maniacally. "This is exhilarating! No wonder the Ancient Sage has taken notice of you. Now that the warm-up's over, let's get serious."He suddenly bit his finger and muttered something under his breath. Then, the four gray energy arms surrounding him swelled in size and speed.Terrence, who had kept his real hands idle until now, finally began to move them. His power had skyrocketed, forcing Felix to bring out his Dragon Punches to keep up. "Impressive! You're actually pushing me back a bit," Terrence admitted after a few minutes, genuinely shocked by Felix's strength. As o

Everything seemed to move in slow motion, but in reality, it all happened in the blink of an eye. Felix's full set of Dragon Punches was lightning-fast, but something unexpected happened just as he was about to complete the sequence."Damn it!" Felix cursed as two waves of soul energy suddenly surged toward him from both sides, targeting his very soul. Distracted, he halted the Dragon Punches and summoned the Infinite Shield, which barely managed to block the incoming attacks. Based on his assessment, these soul energies were at least at the Iron Spirit Realm level, making them a serious threat."This isn't Terrence's doing," Felix realized. He was sure Terrence had no expertise in soul energy, so who was behind this? When he first arrived, he had scanned the area and sensed only three living beings besides Holden—Terrence and two early-stage Transcendent Realm fighters. Could it be them?Felix quickly focused his senses and was shocked to find the two early-stage Transcendent R
Chapter 1340
As Terrence launched his final strike, the phantom images of a serpent, grizzly, saber, and panther flickered around him, each one adding to the overwhelming power of the attack. Even before the blow landed, Felix could feel the sheer intensity radiating from it."Your last move?" Felix frowned, sensing another wave of soul energy attacks coming his way. This time, the two streams of soul energy merged mid-air, forming a single, devastating force that descended upon him from above.Without hesitation, Felix summoned the Mountain Mover, a powerful soul-bound weapon he had recently acquired, and hurled it at the merged soul energy. At the same time, he unleashed his Dragon Punches, clashing head-on with Terrence's attack.Soul energy attacks were always faster than any martial technique, so Felix knew he had to neutralize that threat first. He remembered his fight with Bonnie, where he had not had the chance to use his martial skills because of the relentless soul energy assault. He
