Chapter 495
The burly man had never heard his employer sound so irritated before, but it was understandable given the circumstances.Taking revenge on someone as insignificant as Ryland should have been a walk in the park. It should have been an effortless task. However, an unexpected hiccup arose.The unexpected involvement of the Meadowspring village chief wasn't a big deal as their plan could still proceed. However, just as the second phase of their plan was about to begin, someone appeared. That person issued a warning to his employer to leave Michelle and Ryland alone.His employer had no choice but to swallow his pride and comply. The reason? That person was the legendary Silver Flute. Refusing such a figure could easily cost them their life.Naturally, all the pent-up frustration and resentment had to be directed somewhere. Since Felix was also involved, he became the perfect target. However, Karina had left Felix out of the loop entirely. …Meanwhile, Jack had just finished washing
Chapter 496
While on the road to Meadowspring, with only about three miles left to reach his destination, Felix suddenly slammed on the brakes. A BMW X6 had abruptly swerved in front of him, its brake lights flashing. A collision would've been inevitable if not for Felix's quick reflexes.The road was already narrow to begin with, with only two lanes for traffic. While the BMW's aggressive maneuver was extremely frustrating for any driver, Felix was in a hurry. Hence, he couldn't be bothered to deal with it. With a swift turn of the steering wheel, he aimed to overtake the car. To his surprise, the BMW had also veered into the opposite lane, clearly intending to block him.Felix took a moment to assess the situation. The BMW had been driving at a crawl just ten minutes earlier, and Felix had honked a few times, but the driver had ignored him. It seemed like the driver was seeking revenge just because of those few honks.A wry smile crossed Felix's face as he pressed the gas pedal, feinting a

The small square of Meadowspring was packed with people. The women were crying, and the men were no better, their faces full of sorrow.The cause of this collective sadness was Calum, the old village chief, whose contributions to the village were well-known to all. His downfall was a tragic event for everyone. Despite the grief, no one dared to speak out because of the power of the Saphira family. The Saphira family was the law, and no one could change that. Strictly speaking, Calum had indeed broken the rules, which was a fact, so the villagers could only send him off in this manner.At that moment, Calum appeared, flanked by two men dressed in traditional blue suits, symbolizing their direct Saphira lineage. If someone from the collateral branches of the family dared to wear those clothes, they would be executed on the spot.Among the crowd, a large man frowned. He was Pearly's lackey."Could it be that Pearly's prediction was wrong? It's about to start, but Felix still hasn't

After Calum finished speaking, he turned to Giovanni. "Giovanni, I've never asked you for anything as one of your former mentors. Felix has not harmed anyone or insulted the Saphira family. Let him go," Calum said.Giovanni sighed but shook his head. "If this was a few minutes ago, I might have agreed, but now it's impossible. You should know that the authority of the Saphira family is unquestionable."Take him away!"At this point, Felix was getting frustrated. All he had come to do was speak a few words, but they were pushing things too far. He didn't want to make an enemy of the Saphira family, but that didn't mean he was afraid of them.Xerxes, still trying to hold back his laughter, had already guessed that Felix wasn't from Meadowspring. However, it no longer mattered. Once someone crossed the Saphira family, there was only one outcome, regardless of whoever they were.The large man who served Pearly also smirked slightly. His employer's prediction had been spot on. Felix's

That night, at Xena's home, Curtis was fuming as he sat on the couch. The doorbell rang again, and he roared in anger."Turn it off!"The maid walked over helplessly. This thing had rung at least a dozen times, and it was really starting to drive her mad.As soon as she disabled it, the doorbell rang again in no time.Curtis rushed over and answered the call, shouting. "Felix! If you dare to do this again, I'll call the police!"It was Felix, standing at the gate and repeatedly pressing the doorbell."Mr. Summers Senior, just let me come in and see you. I promise I won't show up again after this. If you don't let me in, I'll keep pressing the doorbell."After a moment's hesitation, Curtis opened the gate and walked out. He pointed at Felix, who had just stepped into the yard."Stay right there! Just seeing you makes me sick. If you have anything to say, spit it out quickly!"Ever since the kidnapping incident, he had developed an extreme dislike for Felix. His fear of death du

"Let's go," Felix said. Since his plan failed, he would have to think of something else.After returning to his villa and just finishing a bath, the doorbell rang. Seeing it was Yvonne, Felix was tempted to pretend he hadn't heard it. Alas, his lights were still on. When Yvonne entered, Felix greeted her with a smile. "How are you settling in Canraville?"Yvonne was wearing a yoga outfit that accentuated her figure. She said, "While I was practicing, I threw a punch and suddenly felt a dull ache in my chest. Can you take a look?"Felix didn't call out the oddity of wearing yoga clothes while practicing martial arts. Instead, he stretched out his hand. "Let me check your pulse."Though he could tell from her condition that nothing was wrong, he still needed to give a thorough check since she had asked."You're fine. It's probably just a bit of air trapped in you," Felix said.Yvonne shook her head. "No, I still feel discomfort. Please check more carefully."Without warning, she

As Nala's words fell, she reached up to pull off her veil, but she suddenly found that her hands refused to obey her will."Leave," Felix said flatly.Nala's gaze remained fixed on him. "Why? Aren't you even a little curious about me? They say even heroes can't resist beauty's charm. Are you afraid that once you see my face, you won't be able to stop thinking about me?"Felix responded with a slight, dismissive smirk. "Feelings come from the heart. What does appearance have to do with it? Besides, are you really Nala Hughman?"The question made Nala freeze momentarily. Before she could recover, Felix's voice rang out again."Go back and tell that self-righteous woman that even if she were to come here herself, I wouldn't be the least bit interested in what lies beneath her veil."With a wave of his hand, the door opened, and Nala found herself stepping backward out of the courtyard. Once outside, her body regained movement. Without a word, she turned and left.At Yvonne's villa,

Jack was so startled he nearly wet himself when he realized Vanessa was standing right behind him. He scrambled to explain, his voice full of nervous laughter."Nessa, honey, I was just joking with Felix! Come on, everything here—inside and out—runs by your word. You know that, right?"But Vanessa wasn't one to let things slide easily. She crossed her arms, a sly smirk on her face."Whatever. I heard it all. You can explain all you want, but as punishment, don't expect me to wear black stockings or sleep with you for the next week!"Her tone was playful but firm, and before Jack could respond, she turned her attention to Felix, her expression brightening."Felix! What a coincidence running into you here! Cici and I were just having a few drinks and chatting, and here you are!"Without waiting for Felix's agreement, Vanessa waved enthusiastically. "Cici, come on! Let's share a table."Felix sighed inwardly. While it seemed like Jack genuinely hadn't planned this meeting, Felix wa
