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
Chapter 1521
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
Chapter 1524
Ryker immediately sought Gras out once they were back at the Longstone residence. Felix had no choice but to return to his room. He was but a doctor—there were things people like him couldn't take part in. To his surprise, Ginny came to his room not long after. "Dr. Zeller, I heard you and Ryker were there when the man emerged from Desolate Lands. Is that true?"Felix nodded. "Yeah. Did you hear about it as well?"She was thrilled. "It's not just me. Absolutely everyone in Cloud City knows about it. Rumor has it that the Green King has contacted Flame Monarch, and the latter will be here tomorrow."Felix went along with her and asked, "Are you serious?""Yeah. The man is the first person to ever emerge from the night. Of course, Flame Monarch would be here. This incident takes precedence over everything else."If Leandre's words could be trusted, then Flame Monarch had to be the most anxious of all. He was the one who brought Nine Flames here, making him the savior of Aquamari
Chapter 1525
Felix was fretting over the fact that he could no longer see the man who emerged from Desolated Lands at night. To his surprise, a solution came knocking on his door quickly. With that said, it made sense. After all, The Recovery Association was founded to overthrow Flame Monarch, snuff out Nine Flames, and restore Aquamarinus to its former state.That meant the middle-aged man who survived the darkness might provide the shortcut they desperately needed. It was only natural that The Recovery Association would be tempted to secure him. If they could unearth the secret behind this man's survival in the dark, the rest was history. "That man's life hangs in the balance as we speak. He's severely injured, and he couldn't even regain consciousness. "Now, the Green King was carrying out Flame Monarch's order and calling for a masterful doctor to buy the man enough time to survive until the Flame Monarch's arrival."Felix understood what Eira was trying to say. "Are you saying that I
Chapter 1526
When Ginny looked at him with pleading eyes, Felix could only let out a helpless sigh. He really didn't want to get too tangled up with this woman, especially with Justus lurking like a vulture. The more trouble he had to deal with, the less time he had to gather intel, and that was a risk he couldn't afford.After traveling by carriage for a while, they arrived at a certain street, and the look of shock on Felix's face made Gras chuckle. Gras said with a grin, "Pretty wild, right? The Green King Manor is just a fancy title. You could call it a small city, and no one would question it."And indeed, Felix was stunned. They had already walked for several minutes, and all along the path were six-foot-high walls stretching as far as the eye could see, showing just how massive the property was."He's the ruler of the city... I guess it makes sense," Felix muttered.Eventually, they arrived at the main entrance. The towering red-painted wooden doors were wide enough to let four carriag
