Since Donna was the master of the Mystical Explosive Orb, if it had absorbed another S-tier Malevolent Phantom's soul essence, she would have noticed immediately. But because she had not sensed anything, she trusted Felix's story even more."Donna, the threat from Specter is gone, but other S-tier Phantoms are after me now," Felix said firmly. "If partnering with you means attracting such huge dangers, maybe we should just end our agreement here."Felix genuinely meant what he said. At this point, the Mystical Explosive Orb only sped up the growth of his soul power a bit. He did not even need the phantom core anymore since he already had the Destiny Crystal. Weighed against the danger, it just was not worth it.Donna hesitated briefly before replying, "This was definitely an accident. My situation with Specter was unique. Very few S-tier Phantoms would be so curious—they know clearly that interfering means making an enemy of us. "Mackenzie must've just gotten intrigued when she sa
Felix frowned slightly, thinking, "We're talking business here. What is she blushing about? And honestly, seeing an S-tier Malevolent Phantom get shy is beyond weird."Donna hesitated, raising an eyebrow at him. "Do you really want to know?"Felix did not answer, but his expression said it all.Donna explained quietly, "If you absorb my soul essence, no matter how far apart we are, our spirits will be bound together."Felix nearly choked. No wonder she had been so hesitant—it turned out to be something like that. Sure, Donna was beautiful enough that no guy would refuse her under normal circumstances, but she was still a Malevolent Phantom. The thought alone gave him chills. Although he had no idea what Donna's true form looked like, his imagination definitely was not flattering.Felix sighed. "Alright, alright. I'll take it, and our partnership continues."He carefully absorbed the tiny orb into his soul, feeling no threat at all from its gentle energy.Donna suddenly looked
Donna suddenly remembered Zara's flawless face, causing her confidence to falter slightly. Quickly changing the subject, she said, "The important information I mentioned involves an underground fight club in Fantadio. It's about the lives of thousands of people."Felix was puzzled. Underground fight clubs were everywhere in Dragonia, shady and hidden from the public eye. Sure, deaths happened occasionally, but thousands of lives at stake sounded absurd.Donna continued, "The fight club I'm talking about isn't like the ones you've heard of. This one involves human fighters going up against Malevolent Phantoms.""What?" Felix stood up in disbelief. "Humans fighting Malevolent Phantoms?"Donna nodded seriously. "Yes. I have to admit, once you humans get used to something, your courage can be shocking, even to us. They've actually found ways to profit by using captured Malevolent Phantoms in matches."Felix quickly took out his phone. "Tell me the exact location. I'll have someone han
Felix frowned deeply. He had always doubted that the Protectors—who were supposedly experts of the Transcendent Realm—could truly intimidate the strongest warriors in Dragonia.When Felix was weaker, he held absolute respect for those in the mastery of Transcendent Realm, viewing them as unbeatable figures. But now, after reaching the peak of Grandmaster level and meeting hidden Grandmasters across Dragonia, he wondered what made the Protectors so special. Now, learning that someone even stronger existed, he began to realize how unfathomable that person's power had to be."So, just because this mysterious person supports them, they can act as if they're above the law?" Felix asked, clearly irritated.Xena sounded helpless as she explained, "Felix, you've never been part of the system, but you know how things work. Think about it. Who would dare disrespect or challenge any employees close to the CEO? It's the same everywhere." Felix sighed in frustration, unable to argue because
From Mira's reaction, Felix confirmed his suspicion—a powerful figure like that definitely would not pay attention to such minor issues. With that in mind, he felt confident enough to handle things on his own.Maybe people at headquarters worried about offending the wrong person, but Felix did not have those same concerns. He had already eliminated three of the Ancient Sage's Eight Guardians—though they were just lower-level protectors. If his guess were correct, the stronger protectors would soon come for him next.And he never forgot for a moment that Melissa and Ronan were still in Eloise's hands.Dragon Rebirth was constantly active inside his body, but unfortunately, his strength had not increased at all recently. Since Gerald had not mentioned it, Felix decided not to bother asking him. Instead, he would just wait patiently and see what happened next.…Early the next morning, Felix took a flight to Fantadio. As he stepped out of the VIP exit at the airport, he realized
Felix chuckled coldly to himself. He expected Yakov to have a deeper game, but clearly, he could not hold it together for even five minutes."Since when do I need your permission to go anywhere or do anything?" Felix replied calmly.Yakov dropped all pretense, his expression suddenly harsh. "Lord Zeller, with your current status, obviously someone like me, a mere regional director, can't control your actions. "But there are powers above all of us. I'm backed by a senior executive at headquarters—you should know exactly who I'm referring to. Or are you planning to defy even his orders?"Without another word, Felix stood up, completely ignoring Yakov. Being openly dismissed this way clearly frustrated Yakov further. Yakov snapped, "You won't get into that underground fight club! Even if you disguise yourself, it'll be useless. You have no idea how complicated things are there."Felix turned back slightly, giving Yakov a contemptuous smile. "Disguise myself? Do you really think I
Felix had to admit that whoever was behind this underground fight club clearly had some serious connections. Headquarters itself did not have a single Grandmaster, yet they managed to get one to guard this place. Usually, Grandmasters either stayed hidden or proudly maintained their independence, so convincing one to act as a mere guard was impressive.Without wasting a second, Felix casually pointed his finger again. Instantly, Eason was hurled backward through the air, slamming hard against the wall."Can I go in now?" Felix asked calmly.While struggling to stand, Eason coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes wide with shock and disbelief. He was also a Grandmaster, yet Felix defeated him effortlessly—without even using any real moves. Eason knew very clearly that Felix had held back; otherwise, he would have already died.Upon realizing his life depended on it, Eason swallowed nervously and rushed forward, abandoning all pride. With a flattering expression, he bowed slightly
Yakov sat anxiously back at headquarters, his mind reeling from stress. He had not imagined Felix was hiding such terrifying strength that even a Grandmaster had failed to stop him.He knew immediately that this had gone beyond his authority, so Yakov nervously called someone clearly much higher up, judging by his cautious tone."Sir, Felix has already entered the underground fight club. He's even stronger than we expected—he's been hiding his true power."There was a pause before a calm voice responded from the other side. "Interesting. Despite his strength, it seems he's smart enough not to oppose me openly. If he's letting the club continue operating for now, then his interests align with ours. Leave him alone."Even though the voice was reassuring, Yakov gathered enough courage to ask carefully, "But sir, what if Felix changes his mind later and insists on shutting the place down?"The response was calm and confident. "Then I'll simply remind him of his limits." Night fell q
