Nevertheless, Alistair understood Xena's emotional state. When one's family was involved, all rationalities seemed to go down the drain. Hence, he decided to wait for another opportunity to share his thoughts.…Felix went to Yardley Dining for his four-hour training session the next morning. He noticed Vivian wanting to say something and said, "Am I that scary? Just tell me what's on your mind." Vivian nodded and explained, "The Martial Alliance asked me to visit them. I'm not sure if it's related to Andrei's situation."After some thought, Felix responded, "Then, go. Don't let Dragon Alliance appear weak."When Felix returned home, he found both the gate and the front door wide open, as if someone had broken in. Rushing inside, he was puzzled to find Xena sitting in the living room, her face ashen as if something serious had happened."Xena, what brings you here?" Felix asked.Xena stood up and examined him with ice-cold eyes. "Keep acting! Everything ended safely, and now, y

Felix's face darkened with concern. He pressed, "Ryan, are you sure you want to take responsibility for what you said?"After a pause on the other end, Ryan replied, "Nothing happened, so what do you want me to say? This is ridiculous!" Then, the line went dead, prompting Xena to let out a cold laugh. "Can't even find someone to back you up. Felix, I finally understand everything now. You're a failure as a person, but at least you can brag about fooling the Warlady once," Xena said before walking away.Her understanding of "everything" meant she believed Felix's rescue of those dozen kids was just an act to impress her. None of this would have happened if she had not been so moved by that moment. Especially since Felix admitted that saving those children would not have cost him his life—he would only lose his fighting abilities. Then again, none of that mattered. Any fool would know it was worth trading combat skills for Xena's affection. After all, being known as the Warlad

Of course, there had always been people who cared about nothing, like Madam Spring, who poisoned Curtis with Phantom Poison. As a lone wolf with only revenge on her mind, she did not care about the consequences or who was involved.However, those with families or organizations had to be more careful. When the government stepped in, everyone involved would pay the price, and they could not just offer up a scapegoat to make it all go away. Still, these were just Felix's theories. Whether the Elders' Council had other reasons for keeping him and Xena apart remained a mystery for now."Mr. Zeller, I can see you're a reasonable man," Ryan said. "I really wanted to help you, but my hands were tied! I even told my grandfather about your true identity, but he still insisted I lie."Felix suddenly chuckled. "Let me guess—he said something like 'Dr. Hoffman is a legendary master healer who saves lives. He wouldn't wipe out an entire family, so the choice is obvious,' right?"Ryan's awkward

Without her trench coat, Michelle stood there in a black bodysuit with fishnet stockings and straps that created an alluring yet tastefully suggestive appearance."Michelle, what are you doing?" Felix asked helplessly, but Michelle walked toward him with a blush spreading across her face."Felix, I... I like you, and I don't know how else to express my gratitude. This is all I can offer."Michelle was undeniably attractive, and most men would have lost control by now. But Felix, having seen his fair share of beauty, found her merely average in comparison. Besides, even if she were stunning, he could never act on it—she was family to Karina, after all. "Don't do this, Michelle. I really only see you as a sister. Please put your clothes back on," Felix said as he reached for a robe, but Michelle suddenly lunged at him. Felix's brows furrowed. Even without his fighting abilities, his body was still far superior to an ordinary person's. He should have been able to dodge that predict

Felix looked surprised. "You know about Madam Spring?""Only by reputation. She's an old-school troublemaker you don't want to mess with. Good luck with that—I got what I came for, so I'm out," Averill replied, but as she stood up, she sensed something wrong and quickly turned to Felix. "Damn it! She was carrying poison!"Though Averill was not a medical expert, her heightened abilities allowed her to detect it. The fact that it took over a minute to notice meant this was no ordinary toxin.Sure enough, Felix was now grinning at her lustfully. "Averill, you like me, right? I'm feeling really hot and bothered right now." As Felix grabbed her and started kissing her wildly, Averill felt conflicted. "Stop it, Felix. You're poisoned! Try to fight it and see if you can neutralize it yourself."The woman's seductive entrance made the poison's purpose clear. When Felix looked up, Averill noticed his eyes were already bloodshot."What poison? Come on, Averill. Didn't you want to play la

"You'll do it instead?" Averill sized up Zara, silently musing to herself. While Zara was a little ugly, Averill figured all that mattered was if she could save Felix's life. If Zara hadn't shown up, Averill would have done it, even though she cherished her own first time. After all, Felix's life was the most important.However, she had to admit Felix's charm. Zara might not be much to look at, but she was still a woman. Since she volunteered herself, it meant she was at least somewhat willing. What other reason could there be?"Don't get the wrong idea. I-I'm not suggesting anything like that!" Zara stammered, waving her hands as Averill stared at her. She figured that she'd gotten the wrong impression."What do you mean?""I mean, I have a special acupuncture technique that can remove the poison in Felix's body. However, I'd need you to get that other woman out of here first. The poison's coming from her, and if I try to block it, I won't be able to concentrate on the treatment

Felix rolled his eyes but decided to speak honestly.He said, "It was a woman of unimaginable beauty. She was truly indescribable! A woman like that doesn't exist in the real world. She's something that would only appear in a dream."He found himself recalling those images again. They were just so vivid. And that woman—she was the only one he could call perfect."Well, I guess you must have enjoyed it very much." Averill scoffed. "Goodbye."Even long after Averill had left, Felix was still sitting on the bed, murmuring to himself, "Could a woman like that actually exist in real life?"…Meanwhile, atop a remote mountain in Dragonia, stood an opulent building. It was the headquarters of the Martial Alliance. Inside one of its rooms, four individuals were seated when Vivian entered."Mr. Lawrence, you called for me?" she asked, taking a seat unceremoniously. Her face showed no expression. After all, according to Felix, she couldn't let the prestige of Dragon Alliance be diminished

A woman stepped in gracefully, dressed in a wine-red dress with a high slit. She exuded elegance and beauty."How dare you trespass in the Martial Alliance?" "'Trespass'?" the woman replied with a hint of displeasure. "The guards didn't even detect my presence. How could it be trespassing?"Everyone in the room—except Titus—looked visibly shaken. This was the headquarters of the Martial Alliance, and yet someone had managed to slip in undetected. It was a huge embarrassment.Samuel pointed angrily at Vivian. "Vivian! Your Dragon Alliance is flaunting its strength here. Do you want a war with the Martial Alliance?""How dare you!" The woman raised an eyebrow, and with just a word, Samuel staggered backward a few steps, a muffled thud accompanying his retreat.Even Titus frowned at this sudden display. The newcomer's strength was no joke. Without even lifting a finger, her mere presence had overpowered Samuel."The Dragon Lord's title is not something you're qualified to invoke s
