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
Felix's lips curved into a subtle smile, though his words carried a polite tone. "Xena, I wasn't trying to dodge, really. It's just that—""Come if you want! I don't care!"The call ended abruptly with a sharp click. Felix rubbed his nose, chuckling at her short temper. Her promotion clearly came with a proportional rise in her fiery attitude.Of course, he was going to go. But since this was Xena's domain, he figured he might as well use the opportunity to make her owe him a favor. If she could soften her stance and influence Curtis, things would undoubtedly take a smoother turn.When Feliz arrived at the Wolfie troops' base, Alistair was already waiting at the entrance."Where's the wanted criminal?" Felix asked."In the infirmary," Alistair replied, hesitating slightly.Felix raised an eyebrow. "Out with it. What's the issue?""Well… someone's already treating him."Felix tilted his head, intrigued. "Didn't you say your doctor couldn't handle the situation? What happened? D
Ethan was furious. "You're questioning my medical skills? Who are you? What qualifications do you have? Phoenix Warlord, I need an explanation!"To his surprise, Xena simply responded, "He does have the qualifications, so I suggest you answer his questions, Dr. Calhorn."Ethan, taken aback, couldn't believe what he was hearing. Was someone around his age speaking with such authority?"Fine! But if you can't give me a satisfactory explanation today, I'll report this to the headquarters and demand they settle this! I, Ethan Calhorn, come from Medic's Haven, and my visit here is part of our agreement with headquarters—to provide medical aid during emergencies. "Do you think I'd willingly be here otherwise?"Felix remained calm, pointing with his hand. "You used the Hexa-Point Needle Method, didn't you?"Ethan's expression changed immediately upon hearing this."The Hexa-Point Needle Method, as the name suggests, involved six needles. You only used five. Sure, they might not notice
Once inside the office, Xena appeared slightly apologetic."Sorry for dragging you into this and getting you threatened. But don't worry—Ethan is definitely in trouble. Regardless of his motives, he won't be getting out for at least ten years."Felix dropped into a chair with a casual smile. "Why the formality between us?"Xena rolled her eyes at him but couldn't deny the lingering fear in her heart. If she hadn't personally made that call to Felix, Ethan might have walked away scot-free, and a month later, when the criminal died, the blame would have fallen squarely on her shoulders.As someone newly appointed, the last thing she needed was a disaster of this magnitude."Well, since I saved the day, how do you plan to thank me?" Felix asked.Xena thought for a moment before replying seriously, "I know you've been working hard to clear your name and even went to see my grandfather. But you have to understand, he was directly involved in that incident. With his age and experience,
