Felix chuckled. "You don't need to tell me. Whatever story Lady Nala and I share, I don't want to know."As if anticipating his response, Yvonne placed her hand on his thigh. "This is my mission, so please don't make it difficult. What you do after hearing it is your choice."When Felix remained silent, Yvonne continued, "The parents who passed away weren't your biological parents. Your true bloodline comes from the Greene family of Yartford—one of the most powerful families in Dragonia." "I know, but in my heart, I only acknowledge those two as my parents," Felix replied firmly.Yvonne frowned, not expecting this response. "The Greene family made a marriage contract with Lady Nala's family years ago. Though no specific names were mentioned, according to the agreement, you and Lady Nala are the intended couple." Felix laughed bitterly. This explained Nala's interest—like Xena, she was bound by a marriage contract. "Well, I'm honored! But given Lady Nala's status and position,

When a woman said something like that, it showed just how strongly she felt.Even Felix was taken aback as he reached out to touch Yvonne's face. "If I can marry you one day, I won't need anyone's approval. I hope you can understand that."As the car door opened, Yvonne said, "I belong to Lady Nala in both life and death. Even if I'm deeply in love, we cannot be together without her permission. I hope you understand that as well."At sunset, the entrance of Yardley Dining was lined with a red carpet and flanked with rows of elegant torches. The waitresses, clad in dresses, wore bright smiles and were fully prepared for the grand event. A banner that hung above the entrance read, "Welcome to Yardley Dining, Lady Summers."The restaurant was closed to the public that day, all for the sake of one guest—Xena Summers. The smile on Larry's face as he surveyed the restaurant showed how happy he was. Larry Laird, the owner of Yardley Dining, hadn't expected Felix to pull it off. On top o

Larry frowned deeply. The middle-aged man was definitely not joking. He seemed to expect that his employer would be served.Dreamscape was holding a concert in the provincial capital on the following night. Considering that, he had heard that many influential figures were already arriving in town, some of whom could rival Xena's status and even look down on her. If Xena were promoted to a Great Warlord, her status would rise even further, but for now, she still held the title of goddess of war.Hence, Larry knew he had to change his approach to the man before him. "Sir, could you do me a favor? It's really not easy to have the goddess of war here. I'm begging you." Having big names dine in his restaurant was undoubtedly good as it showed his food's popularity. However, he wouldn't be allowed to publicize it, so it wouldn't bring the publicity that Xena's presence would bring.The middle-aged man sneered, refusing to back down. "I can't grant that favor. My patience is limited. Y

Felix smiled. "I promise I'll take care of everything. Also, Xena should be arriving soon." At that moment, Larry was much more respectful than before. If anyone caused trouble for Felix, he would do everything in his power to protect him. After about ten minutes, Xena arrived. As she exited the car, fireworks were launched all around her. Furrowing her brow, she was surprised by the grand welcome. However, her expression relaxed when she spotted Felix. They both had the same principle in dealing with matters—once they made a promise, they had to follow through. Once they entered the restaurant's private room, exquisite dishes were served one after another, and Felix began to eat. "Are you not hungry?" he asked, noticing that Xena hadn't picked up her utensils. She shook her head slightly. "Since you're here, you should at least eat a little. It's polite," Felix insisted.Hesitating for a moment, Xena finally took a small bite, and the delicious food sparked her appetite

In a bedroom of the villa, Felix furrowed his brow deeply. He had been checking Leslie's pulse for a long time, but he couldn't sense any abnormalities in her body. He was at a loss about why she had fainted. "Could it really be a toxin I've never encountered before? Even Mr. Hoffman can't do anything about it? How can I possibly resolve this?" he mused aloud as he felt his anxiety grow.The nine fellow apprentices were like family to him, and seeing Leslie collapse in front of him caused him to feel immense pain.Just then, Leslie opened her eyes, managing a weak smile. "Did I faint? How long has it been?" "It's been half an hour," Felix replied."That's longer than before. At first, it was just a bit of dizziness, but now it's half an hour. If this continues, I might not wake up at all the next time I faint." Leslie was undeniably beautiful. Her short hair accentuated her delicate and refined appearance, bringing out the fairness of her skin. Her words and expressions stirre

Leslie's face turned red again after hearing Felix's words. Recalling the wild moment they shared, she felt a longing to experience it once more but forced herself to suppress those urges. "Stop joking around. Didn't you say you would introduce me to an apprentice? Bring her over," Leslie instructed."Alright." After his call with Alistair, Felix was about to say something when Leslie placed a finger on his lips. "You don't need to make me any promises. I understand your situation." Felix felt moved that his fellow apprentices truly understood him. In comparison, Xena seemed to lack in that aspect. Just half an hour later, Alistair rushed in with his sister. "Yara, thank Dr. Zeller for saving your life." Having been unconscious previously, Alistair sincerely appreciated Felix's help."No need to thank me. Have my fellow apprentice take a look at her first." Nodding, Leslie approached and examined Yara. Her expression soon lit up with joy. "Yes, the constitution of her

A stern-looking middle-aged man sat in the living room of the mansion. The middle-aged man was Andrei Hawkins.Just then, his subordinate reported, "Mr. Hawkins, we've checked, and the bombs in the car are real." A flicker of surprise passed through Andrei's eyes. "Oh? It seems the death of his son has hit him hard." At that moment, the door opened, and Perry walked in. "You are finally willing to see me!" Andrei smiled. "If I refused, would you have blown up my door?" Perry sat down, expressionless. "Andrei, I know you hate me. Ever since the moment I took her from you, you've held a deep-seated grudge against me. Now that I'm here, you can finally fulfill your wish." Waving his hand, Andrei maintained his smile and said, "Don't be so pessimistic. Your ability to father children should still be intact. You understand what I mean, right?" There was a crazy light in Perry's eyes as he shouted, "No! My son is dead, and there will never be another! I have to kill that person.

At Yardley Dining, Felix entered the private room to find George already sipping on some soup."Don't mind me, Mr. Zeller. I just couldn't resist having a couple of spoonfuls," George said.Felix made no comment. Seeming frustrated, he asked, "Did we really have to have lunch together at noon?""Of course! After the concert, I'm heading back to Yartford tonight. You have no idea when you'll return to Yartford, so we need to catch up!" George replied. Then, as if remembering something, he added, "I have a friend coming too. Someone I consider a brother. His background is even more prominent than mine. Is that alright with you?"Felix picked up the bowl in front of him and took a sip before responding, "Since you've already decided for me, what can I say?" He knew George meant well. After all, anyone George regarded as a close brother had to be someone significant. Besides, having more friends meant more connections. But although the world was supposed to work that way, Felix f
