Averill turned off the TV with a bored expression. "I'm bored, Felix. Let's play."

At those words, Felix quickly waved his hands in protest. "No! Averill, don't try anything funny!"

In his current state, without any martial arts abilities, he would be completely defenseless if Averill tried to force herself on him.

Averill pouted and revealed a deck of playing cards from behind her back. "What's going on in that dirty mind of yours? I meant these cards, though if you want to play something else, I wouldn't mind," she teased.

For once, Felix could not help but blush—he really did let his imagination run wild. He replied, "Fine. I can handle this game."

Just then, his phone rang. It was Ryan, who had given him his contact info two days ago. "Felix, I'm driving over to pick you up now. Whatever important things you have planned, cancel them. The opportunity I mentioned is happening tonight."

Felix frowned at the timing but agreed anyway. "Alright, come pick me up."
