Chapter 147
Felix was quite surprised by the person who entered. Joshua turned with a scowl and was about to bark out. But he suddenly froze and quickly changed his tone. "Ms... Ms. Cooper? Why are you here?" Indeed, it was Yvonne who had arrived. From Joshua's address, Felix guessed that Yvonne had to be the president of Stellar Group. What a coincidence! "As president, am I not allowed at Stellar Group's city-within-a-city partnership gala?" Yvonne entered with a stern expression, followed by two others who appeared to be high-level executives. "Of course, I... I was just surprised. Please forgive me." After sitting down, Yvonne spoke, "Notify Warren Quinton of Velocis Ventures that Stellar Group has added another partnership slot for the city-within-a-city project. It's for his company." "Yes, ma'am!" One of the executives left immediately. Joshua had a bad feeling. "Ms. Cooper, won't the other five partner companies object to this?" Yvonne gave him a cold and disdainful look. "

"Felix! Don't celebrate too soon. Did you really think being a vice president at Stellar Group was my only backing? Hah, what a joke! "I admit that your connection to Yvonne as president was unexpected, but so what? You have no idea who my uncle is!" Felix asked with a curious face, "Oh? Then, tell me. Who's your uncle?" "Have you heard of Dragon Alliance?" Hearing those three words, Felix was able to connect all the pieces. No wonder Kane had asked Joshua for help. His uncle was also part of the Dragon Alliance. Based on that trust, Kane's mistake was understandable. "Never heard of it." This response left Joshua feeling dissatisfied. He sneered and said, "Of course not! Why would I discuss Dragon Alliance with trash like you? "It's a terrifying existence you could never imagine in your lifetime. And my uncle is a member. Forget about you—even that bitch Yvonne will have to apologize to me soon!"The door opened, and a middle-aged man entered. Joshua immediately went

What? Daniel looked at Kane in disbelief, then back at Felix. Could this man before him actually be the mysterious Dragon Lord of Dragon Alliance? Kane was furious. After receiving Felix's call, he rushed to the gala right away. He would not dare discuss such matters over the phone. He could only come and apologize to Felix in person. After finishing his sentence, Kane immediately knelt before Felix. "My lord! I have failed in my duties. Please punish me as you see fit." Suddenly, loud laughter rang out. "Lord Kane, your acting is truly impressive." Even Daniel was startled. Why was Joshua causing trouble at such a critical moment? "Uncle Daniel, you really believed that? I've checked. Felix is Lord Kane's relative and is even younger than Lord Kane. Now that you're here, Lord Kane is putting on this act to protect Felix. I must say that it's very convincing." Daniel frowned, barely containing his anger. "Kane, is he your relative? Did you think I'm an idiot and could be

"This matter ends here." Felix left after saying that. Only then did Daniel let out a long breath and slump to the ground. The reason why he killed Joshua without hesitation was simply to save himself. Otherwise, his own chances of death were also high as he faced the Dragon Lord. After all, Joshua was not his son. "Kane, you nearly got me killed this time." Daniel shot a resentful glance at Kane. He could not help but feel angry. Kane gave a bitter smile in response. "Daniel, what could I do? How could I dare reveal the Dragon Lord's identity without his permission? The key issue is that you spoiled Joshua too much. He didn't even respect me as the deputy chief of Oasis Clinic! "The Dragon Lord was truly generous. When I informed him about Joshua, he said Joshua was free to pursue her, despite his prenuptial agreement with Xena. But Joshua shouldn't have interfered with the Velocis Ventures matter." Daniel was left speechless. Indeed, if he had known Felix's true identity,

"What?" Belle was shocked. Even Xena turned to look, but Belle was too focused to care now. "Are you sure?" she demanded. "I'm certain! A middle-aged man carried Joshua out the back door over his shoulder. I'm sure he was already lifeless. Judging by how his head was hanging, his neck was likely snapped." The Phoenix Legion had no shortage of experts. The person Belle sent was also a martial artist who was fully capable of sensing a normal person's breathing. There was no chance of a mistake. "Who was in the room at the time?" "Felix, Joshua, that middle-aged man, and Lord Kane, who was the last to enter." Taking a deep breath, Belle hung up and immediately reported everything to Xena. "Milady, I suspect that the middle-aged man is Joshua's uncle. But how did Joshua die?" Xena furrowed her brows. "Is it possible Lord Kane killed him? Though that seems too brazen, unlike his style."Belle strongly agreed with that point, as she knew a secret. "Milady, I can guarantee it was

Sasha quickly chimed in, "Exactly, Dad! You're really too kind." She thought to herself gleefully, "Felix is such an idiot. He helped our family so much, but now he's going to be utterly destroyed by Dora. Just thinking about it makes me so happy!" Though he said nothing more, Warren had his own plans. He could not simply accept this without giving anything in return.As a new day dawned, Kane appeared at Felix's home around noon. "Mr. Zeller, we have news about the Shimmeroot." Oh? Felix smiled, as Shimmeroot was one of the herbs needed to treat Curtis. "Did you get it, or..." Kane had woken up ecstatic to this news from his subordinates. He finally had a chance to make up for his mistake."Not yet. It's in a village on the outskirts of Avesburgh. But the old man is very stubborn. He says it's a family heirloom and won't sell at any price. My men even brought ten million dollars in cash, but the old man wouldn't budge." Another tough case? This was somewhat similar to the

Felix had not expected Ted and Perry to be meeting with Yvonne, but that was no longer important now.Ted's face darkened at Felix's sudden appearance. Cooperation with Stellar Group was a big deal. While their connections ensured it would not fall through, upsetting the president would certainly be bad. Besides, Ted had plans to pursue Yvonne, so Felix's intrusion would be humiliating."Felix! Don't you dare play the victim! Come outside with me." Ted walked over hastily. Perry put on a smile and said, "Ms. Cooper, please pay this no mind. It's just a minor conflict between young people." Yvonne nodded, curious about how Felix kept antagonizing these important figures. Did he really have such capability? She had intervened with Joshua, but what about the Glover family? Anyone who could contact their chairman was certainly of no simple character.Ted was relieved when Felix followed him out. Arguing in the private room would have damaged his image and embarrassed Perry. "Are

"Hurry! Drive faster!" Perry urged. Though he had martial artists protecting him, they were not nearly as good as Xena. Going to her was definitely the safest option.…Meanwhile, Xena was already waiting outside the Phoenix Legion headquarters, having received word of their arrival. "Xena," Ted greeted with a forced smile as he got out of the car. He could barely hide his panic. "Xena, I—" But before he could finish, he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed. "Son!" Perry quickly caught him. Xena instantly appeared by their side. After extending her right arm, her eyes turned ice-cold. "Ted... is dead." What? Perry could barely breathe and nearly fainted. They had come as fast as possible, yet tragedy still struck. Belle watched in shock. Did Ted die from a sudden illness or something else? My God! As a cousin of Lady Summers, Ted had died right in front of her. What a catastrophe!Regaining his senses, Perry roared to the sky, "Felix! I'll have your life
