Chapter 1516
Just as Ginny was about to say something, Felix continued, "However, I have detected symptoms of an underlying chronic ailment. She's fine now, but her symptoms will culminate after ten years if persistently ignored."A chronic ailment? Ginny frowned at Felix's serious expression. "Huh? A chronic illness? H-How can it be treated, Dr. Zeller?" Gras asked anxiously. Why would Ginny be afflicted with a chronic illness when she'd never fallen sick throughout the years?Only then did Ginny come back to her senses, more furious than before because this hack of a doctor had almost hoodwinked her. "Nonsense!" she snapped. "I've been practicing the martial arts since I was a kid, and I've never even fallen sick from minor illnesses! I'd never have a chronic illness!"Father," she continued. "This doctor is obviously as mediocre as those scammers from before. He's just here to cheat money out of us. Tell him to leave!"Felix frowned at the accusations. So this was why Ginny was so hostile

"There's a tiny speck inside your core filled with rimefrost energy. As time passes, this speck will gradually enlarge, reaching a size that will impact your core ten years later," Felix explained. "You may not be in fatal danger when that time comes, but you will experience side effects if you are to fight against someone else. I think I won't need to describe them; you already know."Ginny's mouth was wide with shock. She didn't expect things to be so serious. Practicing the martial arts was what she enjoyed most in this life. If she were to lose the ability to fight as a martial artist one day, it wouldn't be any different from death. "Can this be treated, Dr. Zeller?" This was the first time Ginny spoke to him with respect. She'd come to acknowledge his skill as a doctor."If it can be spotted, of course it can be treated," Felix said. "Take the medicine I give you on time for at least three months while also massaging your core. Three months later, the speck of lingering rimef
Chapter 1518
Ginny reminded herself repeatedly that she was undergoing this treatment so that her future as a martial artist wouldn't be marred by any accidents. She was determined to soldier on despite what might happen. Also, Felix was a professional doctor and thus would surely not have any designs on her.After her maids retreated, Felix stepped forward. Ginny, who had turned her head to the side, not daring to see him, suddenly heard him say, "Can you lead me there?"Curious about what that meant, Ginny looked at him, only to be shocked. Felix, who had covered his eyes with a blindfold, was led forward by her maids, and his hands were brought to rest on a certain spot."Can I begin now, Ms. Longstone?" Felix asked. Warmth suffused Ginny's heart, and gratitude filled her gaze. "Certainly. Thank you, Dr. Zeller."The moment Felix began the massage, Ginny felt heat rise in her core, which made her admire Felix even more. After a while, Ginny felt a scorching heat in her body, and her face
Chapter 1519
It was a good thing that Felix's worry didn't come true. After all, this was the Longstone residence. Of course, there would be powerful fighters here. At that moment, Gras showed up with two men outside the room and stopped someone who was moving extremely fast. "Greetings, Mr. Longstone." Surprisingly, it was a young man. He was handsome, wearing a blue attire, and exuded extraordinary elegance.Gras felt a headache coming on. He forced a smile and said, "Young man, can you not dash in here like an assassin next time? You'll invite unwanted troubles."The young man went by the name of Justus Goldstein. Naturally, he was one of the noblemen. Otherwise, Gras wouldn't have been this polite with him. There was no need to inform anyone before entering the Longstone residence, but it was a little unseemly to be dashing in the hallways."I heard that Ginny wasn't feeling well. I was worried sick about her, so I had been moving about rashly. Please don't hold it against me, Mr. Long
Chapter 1520
Cloud City was truly a big city. As the sky turned dark, the glows from various lights and scattered candlelights came together to form a bright and lively scene."Mr. Jamison, is this the area Ms. Longstone mentioned?" Felix asked.When they arrived at a spot, they saw a huge stone stage, which gave Felix a sense of déjà vu. There was a time when he got onto a stage like this in Martial City, fighting for Nala's sake.Ryker Jamison nodded in response. "Exactly. All you have to do is sign the contract, and you'll have the whole arena to yourself and your opponent. "You can even choose a fight to the death if you want. Take a look over there. Two men have just went up there."Betting challenges here were completely legalized. So, anyone could take part in it. "Dr. Zeller, do you want to try your hand at a bet?" Felix was a wealthy man, considering Gras gave him 100 silver coins, and he didn't have any expenses to cover because he stayed at the Longstone residence. It was more

The surrounding darkness had no bearing on the man. With the help of the silver glow, the disdain on his expression was unmistakable. "This is just a planet for barbarians, and yet these savages dreamed of saving their hometown by taking part in the Rank-ascending Competition. How absurd," the man said to himself once more. All of a sudden, he felt something and waved both his arms, his expression showing his fear."Eek! What is this?"Several minutes later, the darkness was still boundless, and the silver glow was still shining weakly. The only thing different about the place was that the voice was gone.…Back in Cloud City, the battle in the area was over. Wagner and Charlie's jaws hung agape, because Felix had actually won the bet. The point was that the odds were stacked against Felix, and his chances of winning were slim. Wagner and Charlie dared to challenge him to a bet because they had some information beforehand. Jules and Mack might've been Aetherial Realm fighte
Chapter 1522
Felix nodded in understanding. In fact, he knew deep down why things went down the way they did. When he saw Wagner earlier today, he had a strong sense that Wagner had something to do with Justus showing up. With that said, it truly didn't matter. He wasn't in the mood to fool around with these insignificant punks. The more pressing matter was gathering intelligence, and he gave himself six months to do it. If Felix still couldn't find out how powerful Flame Monarch actually was and suss out all the hidden fighters serving the latter, he would have to take some actual action. He had to find another way to get to the truth—he couldn't afford to keep going like this. At that moment, some burly men entered the restaurant. Judging by their aura, they were all Innate Realm fighters. They immediately headed to the pretty lady, who was seated and eating, and surrounded her. The thing was, she was a member of The Recovery Association."You bitch. I can't believe you're sitting here
Chapter 1523
Felix concentrated for a brief moment, and he knew he hadn't made a mistake. Something was emerging from the darkness. That was when Ryker, who had been uninterested initially, also narrowed his eyes and stared at the darkness outside the city."Dear God! I-Is that a person?" Just then, someone shouted on top of his lungs. The screaming wasn't necessary at all—everyone could see very clearly that someone had just walked out of the darkness.The person stumbled as he walked, and he was dressed in ragged clothes. He was injured, and a lot of people could clearly see bones where his wounds should've been.Felix was shocked to his core as well. Didn't they say that no one could survive a single night in Desolated Lands? So, why was someone emerging from the dark now?Although the person's grotesque wounds suggested that a monstrous beast attacked him, the possibility that a fellow human might've struck him wasn't completely ruled out.There might've been guards posted by the city
