As they looked at Felix again, everyone felt his presence seem more towering and commanding, inspiring an almost reverential awe. His ability to summon the support of two major powers was unprecedented. George and Ryan remained dumbfounded, their previous misconceptions about Felix shattered by this stunning revelation. Meanwhile, Dominic swallowed his pride with remarkable speed. There was no doubt that his adaptability was what led the Walsh family to such heights.He said smoothly, "Ah, Mr. Zeller, surely there's been a misunderstanding. If I had known about your connection to Ms. Cooper, I would never have agreed to this marriage!" He laughed nervously, aware that the room understood his abrupt change in tone. Nonetheless, with Dragon Alliance and Moonshadow Alliance backing Felix—not just in name but with their most influential figures present—Dominic knew he could not win. Even if the Walsh family exhausted every connection, their do
Felix turned to face Nala, who met his gaze with fierce determination. Just when everyone thought the conflict was over, Nala's intervention brought a deafening silence to the room. Everyone knew Nala's significance—not just for her mysteriously powerful family background, but for her own commanding presence. Her willingness to challenge both Moonshadow and Dragon Alliances spoke volumes about her authority.Felix retorted, "I've been more than reasonable today. Yvonne is safe, and your deal with the Walsh family stands. Don't push your luck, Lady Nala!"The crowd gasped. In all of Dragonia, Felix was the first to dare speak to Nala so brazenly in public. Even Nala, known for her composure, could not hide the icy anger in her glare. Felix continued, "Yvonne remains yours. I only want to ensure you'll never treat her as a mere tool again. Is that so difficult? Answer me!" Nala was about to respond, but Felix stepped closer. Even though he had lost his martial abilities, his
Many people breathed a sigh of relief at this response. For some reason, no one wanted to see this young man rise to power. Finnley, who had returned to his seat, turned ashen with anger, but he knew there was nothing he could do about it. If he had not gone to beg for mercy earlier, Felix could have used that favor to destroy the Walsh family today.Nala's expression softened upon seeing this. She believed the man she had abandoned should quietly live an ordinary life rather than rise so powerfully that even she felt threatened. "You've told the truth, and I'll keep my promise. Yvonne can now make her own choices in pursuing happiness, and I won't interfere anymore," she stated.It was exactly the answer Felix was waiting for. With so many witnesses present, Nala would not dare risk her reputation by breaking her word. "Take care of yourself, Yvonne," Felix said, glancing at her before leaving, with Vivian and Christie following suit as their business was concluded.Outside t
Felix was surprised by the extraordinary changes in his body after absorbing the first ancient dragon's spine. The Dragons Destroyer technique began to operate at an unprecedented speed, finally reaching its intended path.He could now sense the spiritual energy Gerald had mentioned—a power far more profound than the internal energy other warriors possessed. Felix guessed he must have reached the Innate Realm by now.He remembered when he had faced Vilebane Vernon. At death's door, he broke through to become a Martial Saint—a legendary achievement for most warriors, let alone reaching the mythical Innate Realm. Yet here he was, skyrocketing to new heights simply by using Dragons Destroyer to absorb a single ancient dragon's spine—a feat so incredible that no one would believe it. Moreover, Dragons Destroyer was now rapidly drawing in the essence of the surrounding environment, allowing his power to surge even without active training. …At sunrise, in a picturesque courtyard
The most terrifying aspect was that only a few minutes had passed between the gate's destruction and their arrival, which spoke volumes about the intruder's incredible power. They wondered what kind of monster could accomplish such devastation in mere minutes. "Felix!" Jaden's shout snapped Cecil back to reality, and he focused on the lone figure standing amidst the bloodbath.It was indeed Felix, the same man who had been rescued by master healers. Yet, this seemed impossible, as Felix had lost all his martial powers—even a Martial King should have been able to defeat him easily."So you remember me? Do you recall what I said when I left Crimson Sage Sect?" Felix stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the mastermind of his kidnapping. He added, "I told you that once I returned, Crimson Sage Sect would cease to exist, and no one can change that inevitable fact." Since leaving the mountain, Felix had never suffered such humiliation. It was also why this was his first o
Jaden fled in panic on the mountain where Crimson Sage Sect was located, pushing his speed to the limit as he darted through the forest. Having heard Cecil's final, furious roar, he knew the outcome was already sealed."Mr. Black, I swear I'll avenge you! Damn it! How did Felix become so powerful in such a short time?" Jaden wondered in disbelief. Crimson Sage Sect was a major sect filled with powerful martial artists, yet Felix had single-handedly defeated them all. Jaden would not have believed it if he had not witnessed it himself.Suddenly, Jaden stopped, noticing a crater in the ground. He glared at the figure before him and hissed through gritted teeth, "Felix."It was terrifying how quickly Felix had caught up, leaving no time for even a glimmer of escape. "When you kidnapped me, did you ever imagine this day would come?" Felix asked coldly. Jaden swallowed hard, knowing he stood no chance against someone who had just killed Cecil and countless other elite fighters—his
Kennedy nodded with a smile. "You read me well. I value my life. My family's foundation runs deep, with several Innate Realm masters and even some who surpass that level. However, risking conflict with you over someone like Jaden simply isn't worth it."Felix found this increasingly intriguing. "Is that so? Please elaborate."Kennedy rubbed his hands together and continued, "The Innate Realm represents an almost impossible barrier for martial artists to cross. Those of lower ranks can't comprehend how difficult it is to kill an Innate Realm master."Even if you succeed, the risk is unbelievable. Who would want to provoke one? If they're a lone wolf, they could hunt you down anywhere, and there'd be nothing you could do about it." Felix waved his hand, recognizing the truth in these words. "Fair enough. Your words make sense. You may go."After Felix left, Kennedy breathed a sigh of relief. "Good grief. When did Dragonia produce such a formidable martial artist? He reached the Inn
"There's still another car?" Xena asked in disbelief.Felix's statement left Xena puzzled."What do you mean?" she asked, glancing at the nearby Range Rover. She recognized it was Felix's car."There are three more inside. All of them are S-rank wanted criminals.""What?" Xena was stunned. S-rank fugitives were dangerous enough on their own, even if they weren't as fearsome as the Thirteen Aces. They were usually hiding, making them hard to capture. Yet Felix had managed to bring in four of them all at once?Ten minutes later, they arrived at Xena's office."So you're saying, as you were about to leave this afternoon, you found these four men tied up outside your gate, completely incapacitated?" Xena asked in disbelief.Felix nodded. "Yeah, I was just as surprised as you, so I brought them all over."In reality, Felix was a bit frustrated. He had only asked Seven to capture one S-rank fugitive. However, he went above and beyond and delivered four.Felix knew why Seven went thi
