In Canraville, just as Felix was about to head out for a quick dinner, his phone rang. When he realized it was Xena, he quickly answered, "Hey, Xena.""Are you free? Come over for dinner at our place," she invited.Felix thought he had misheard. Based on their situation now, having dinner together outside would make more sense. He asked, "Is Mr. Summers Senior not there?"Xena's response filled Felix with joy. "Actually, Grandpa's the one who asked me to invite you."Felix was stunned to hear Curtis' sudden change of heart. Nonetheless, it was definitely a positive development. "I'll be right there!" Felix rushed to his garage and jumped into his Range Rover, speeding off toward their house. With Madam Spring's mysterious "gift" lingering over him like a ticking time bomb, any progress toward resolving it was enough to lift his spirits.When he arrived, Xena opened the door, and sure enough, Curtis was sitting on the couch. "Mr. Summers Senior," Felix greeted.Curtis looked

"Mr. Summers Senior, if a man degrades himself to the point of sacrificing his own body for love, he doesn't deserve to live! Our bodies are gifts from our parents, and unless forced, self-mutilation is disrespectful to those who gave us life and raised us," Felix declared firmly. "If you believe I'm a coward, so be it. I won't perform such a ridiculous act just to change your mind," he added before turning and walking out.As the bitter realization sank in, he saw no point in staying. He had thought Curtis was finally ready to accept him, but instead, it was just an elaborate trap to humiliate him.After Felix had been gone for a while, Xena shifted her gaze from the axe to Curtis, her eyes filled with anger. "Grandpa, this was absolutely ridiculous!"Curtis simply pulled the axe from the table and headed back upstairs, saying, "I have my reasons. Stay out of it."...Later that evening, Felix sat at a local barbecue joint, drinking beer and eating. He was there purely out of

"Bring it on," Ryan muttered under his breath. He knew Felix would not care much since he was Gerald's apprentice, but he gave an early warning because Malcolm was not someone to be taken lightly. Among Nala's suitors, Malcolm was one of the few who made Ryan wary, especially since Malcolm had the backing of the Crayden family, one of the Eight Great Martial Families. This alone gave him every reason to be arrogant and aggressive.… Early the next morning, Jeffrey from the Saphira family was already waiting at the gates when Felix opened his door. "Have you picked the location?" Felix asked.Jeffrey nodded and replied, "Yes. It's all set." "Then, let's go," Felix said, heading out. He had notified Jeffrey because of what happened last time with Ethan. Since the Saphira family had stepped in to help, any confrontation with Malcolm would inevitably involve the Saphiras."Mr. Zeller, you're right. Malcolm did contact me and suggest that we meet at a specific location," Jeffre

Felix asked, "How much longer?"Jeffrey checked the time before responding, "About an hour and a half.""I'm going to take a walk around. I'll be back in an hour," Felix said as he stood up. The Saphira family had only sent Jeffrey since this was supposed to be a fight between the younger generations. After all, the Crayden family would not dare try anything underhanded against Jeffrey.If that were to happen, it would inevitably lead to an all-out war between the families—something even the Elders' Council could not mediate.When they arrived, Felix detected the distinctive aroma of the rare medicinal herb Shadowroot. He remembered working with a similar herb when trying to cure Curtis, but that one had been harmless with a localized effect.The Shadowroot was different and far more dangerous, and even a minute of exposure could be fatal to an ordinary person. Doctors familiar with its properties would usually remove it from the area, even if they did not need it. It was to pre

Felix stared at Lemuel, wondering if the latter had lost his mind. "Mr. Morris, are you sure you're talking to me?" Lemuel's smile widened as he stepped closer. "Of course, I'm talking to you. And when I say your father, I don't mean the one who passed away. I'm referring to your biological father, Victor Greene."Felix was shocked. He had never met Lemuel before, yet this man seemed to know so much about him. He asked, "How do you know about that?" Lemuel explained, "Victor and I are best friends. Actually, this antidote I'm working on is for him, but it seems we're running out of time."Five years ago, he started falling ill. It's been relentless—as soon as one disease is cured, another takes its place, as if he's been cursed."Felix let out a bitter laugh. "Well, maybe he deserves it." Any parent who abandoned their child deserved such a fate in his mind—there was no excuse for abandonment, especially when they had the choice not to have a child in the first place.Sensin

"What!" Nala jumped to her feet, fully aware that the conflict between Felix and Malcolm had started because of her. "Damn it! Since when did the Crayden family become so aggressive? How dare they plan an assassination when the Saphira family is involved?" she exclaimed. This also puzzled Alfie, as the Eight Great Martial Families typically favored strategy over brute force."Have Yvonne warn Felix to get out of there immediately," Nala ordered."Yes, miss!" Alfie rushed to comply. Even though Felix had advanced significantly in his training, he was no match for a Crayden family elder. If they crossed paths, it would be certain death. This was not what Nala had wanted at all. Her interest in Felix stemmed from his incredible potential—his dual mastery of both medicine and martial arts was extraordinary. She had been banking on his future growth to benefit her plans, but all would be lost if he died now."Felix, you absolutely cannot die," she whispered, clenching her fists.

Jeffrey stepped forward, his energy radiating powerfully. "Go ahead and try! We've both reached the Ultimate Mortal Realm."We've never had the chance to fight, and maybe today's the day we find out who's stronger."Malcolm raised his hand dismissively. "Sorry, but I'm here for Felix, not you, Jeffrey. "He turned to Felix and taunted, "What's wrong, Felix? Are you just going to hide behind others like a coward? You had the guts to mess with the Crayden family, but not the courage to face the consequences?"Before Felix could respond, Jeffrey let out a contemptuous laugh. "You're not even sure you can beat me, yet you want to fight Mr. Zeller? That's the joke of the century!" Felix had already achieved the Innate Realm, far beyond Malcolm's level. He could end this with a single strike. Malcolm stroked his chin, smirking. "Oh? You make a good point. After all, he must be special to catch Lady Nala's eye."He raised his hand again, and Harry hurried over like an eager puppy, li

The power gap was absolute. It was an unbridgeable chasm. The next moment, Omar vanished completely, moving too fast for Jeffrey's eyes to track."Dad, did you anticipate this?" Jeffrey thought helplessly, knowing he could only prepare to collect Felix's body. No one had expected the Craydens to break from the rule so drastically. Suddenly, a muffled boom echoed through the air. Omar's figure reappeared, stumbling backward several steps until he reached Malcolm's side, shockingly coughing up blood."Show yourself!" Malcolm cried out in alarm. As he looked closer, he saw a short, middle-aged man standing expressionlessly about six feet in front of Felix. "Since when did the Craydens earn the right to discipline members of my family?" As the voice rang out, a young man emerged from a nearby building, casually chewing on a toothpick."Asher Greene!" Malcolm, being from Yartford, recognized the young man instantly. While Jeffrey did not know him personally, the name Greene carried e
