Felix's lips curled into a slight smile. It was exactly as he had anticipated. He picked up the bowl he had prepared earlier and placed it by Zane's mouth. Then, he gently patted Zane's back three times with his right hand.On the last pat, Zane surprisingly opened his mouth and expelled something into the bowl. To the astonishment of Gilbert and Jane, Zane laid back down and fell asleep again."All done.""All done?" The couple stared wide-eyed, unable to comprehend the unbelievable turn of events.It wasn't until Felix approached them with the bowl and pointed to its contents that they understood. "This bug is the reason for your son's condition." Felix showed them the bowl.They looked down to see a white, worm-like creature in the bowl, resembling a dead earthworm, completely still. "This creature is extremely rare. It's called a Snowbug. I won't go into the details, but when it encounters a human, it will actively burrow into their body without leaving any wounds. "

"Milady." Belle grabbed Xena's arm, knowing just how terrifying Nocturno was as a wanted criminal. Unlike criminals who acted in the dark, he often appeared in public, yet he remained elusive due to his extraordinary strength. Even now, no one knew what his limits were."I've already called headquarters. Should we wait for their support before proceeding?" Xena patted Belle's arm, fully aware that she meant well. "It might be too late by then. Regardless of Nocturno's intentions to see me, this is undoubtedly the best opportunity to take him down. If we wait for headquarters, Nocturno isn't a fool—he'll have already escaped," Xena said."Don't worry. I'm not that easy to deal with, either," she added.Though she said this, Xena felt uncertain. Every Super S-rank wanted criminal was formidable in their own right.…Meanwhile, Felix had returned to his villa. He didn't intend to turn on the lights. Given the armed guards outside, suddenly illuminating the place would be hi

Xena glanced at Felix with a complex expression. "Please wait in the yard. My people need to search your villa. Don't worry. We won't mess up the place," she said."Okay." Felix nodded.When Belle emerged from the villa with her team, Xena left with just a glance. However, before departing, she said, "Sorry for the trouble." Felix was surprised. It was a miracle that this woman could maintain such a good attitude in front of him.… The child had already been sent to the hospital, and her parents were notified. Xena and Belle then drove toward the Phoenix Legion headquarters. Most of their personnel had been dispatched throughout Avesburgh to search for Nocturno, although they knew the chances of finding him were slim. But one question lingered. Why had Nocturno suddenly abandoned the child and not killed Felix, who was also sleeping in the villa? This was completely out of character for Nocturno. He was known to be brutal, which was why he was classified as a Super S-ran

Felix had already changed into his pajamas and finished washing up. He was now preparing for bed. However, just then, the doorbell rang. He was puzzled. Who could be visiting at this late hour?His expression was strange as he saw Xena on the video monitor."Do you have something else to discuss?" he said.Seeing that Felix was outside but hadn't opened the gate, Xena felt a surge of irritation. However, remembering her inner suspicions, she held back her frustration. "Although it's a bit late and my visit is somewhat inappropriate, is this how you welcome your guests?" she snapped.Felix opened the gate and turned to walk away. "Come in," he said.Xena was even more annoyed by his attitude. After all, she was the first goddess of war in Dragonia—beautiful and talented, the dream woman of countless men. Yet, every time she encountered Felix, it felt as though he had a way of filtering out her extraordinary beauty as if he simply couldn't see it."Get to the point. I'm

At 10:00 am, Sasha entered a café in Avesburgh."Good morning, Mr. Glover," she greeted.The one who had called her out was Ted. His stature was far beyond her reach, and she had heard he had a terrifying background. Even Hugo would respectfully address him as Mr. Glover.When she received the call last night, she was puzzled. No matter how hard she thought about it, she couldn't figure out what she had done to warrant a meeting with Ted."Have a seat," Ted said with a smile. "I looked around and found out that you know Felix. Your relationship with him is not ordinary." Instantly, Sasha stood up again, her expression in complete disarray."Mr. Glover, let me explain. While I do know Felix, I dislike him. I would not be in touch with him if it weren't for my dad. So, whatever trouble he's caused has nothing to do with me or my family," she clarified.In her view, Felix, the big fraud, had somehow gotten on Ted's bad side. It took guts to mess with someone of his stature. "Y

"Change?" The sales associate was taken aback by the request. She knew the customer was always right, but she seemed to have a bit of a temper and dared to question him."Why?" Felix frowned even deeper. "Looks like the favors from back then have gone to waste. It's only been three years, and you don't recognize your cousin. Sabrina, you haven't changed at all."Indeed, the woman before him, with her stunning figure, was Felix's cousin, Sabrina Zeller, the daughter of his fifth uncle. When Sabrina heard this, her eyes widened as she took a closer look at Felix, finally recalling something. "Oh, my God! Is that you, Felix? I can't believe you're still alive!" This instinctive reaction revealed the nature of their relationship. "I don't want to waste time talking with you. Get me another sales associate. You wouldn't want me to file a complaint, would you?" Whether from his father's side or his mother's, those relatives were all ungrateful ingrates. When Felix's father

As Nina prepared the sales agreement, Felix waited in the lobby.Milo entered the car dealership and headed straight for Sabrina."Sabrina, let's have lunch together. I was taking care of some business around this area and thought of you, but you didn't answer my calls at all," Milo said.Sabrina sneered. She usually had men interested in her wrapped around her finger, and Milo was one of them. After he bought a Range Rover last time, he had been pestering her relentlessly."Oh, Mr. Quinton, I'm at work. How could I have time to answer the phone?" Sabrina replied.After saying that, Sabrina suddenly thought of something and looked on the verge of tears, which Milo noticed."What's wrong? Who's bullied you?" he asked.Sabrina forced out a tear. "I'm... I'm fine!" she said.This was the perfect opportunity for Milo to impress the woman he loved. "Tell me! Damn it! Who dares to bully you? I'll stand up for you," he bellowed."Mr. Quinton, you're so good. I feel so safe with y

Nina was equally stunned. When she'd been preparing the agreement earlier, Jim had approached her. Once the agreement was ready, he followed her as she brought the document to Felix.She didn't expect to see him bow and scrape before Felix, even offering to give him the car for free. It was a top-of-the-range Range Rover worth 400 thousand dollars!"No, it's fine," Felix said.Jim seemed to expect Felix to turn him down. He lowered his head respectfully again. "Understood, Mr. Zeller. Once again, allow me to thank you for patronizing our store."He turned and pulled Nina aside. "Remember to satisfy whatever requirements Mr. Zeller has. You don't need to ask me for permission.""Yes, sir!" Nina said.Jim walked off, sighing in relief. Only then did he realize his forehead was covered in sweat. It was his first time dealing with a customer of such wealth and status, after all. How could he not be nervous?Felix had used Concord Bank's Diamond Card to pay for the car. "Wealthy" cou
