"Felix, this is Zara Morgan. I'm sorry, but Mr. Grayson's watching me closely, so I had to use a new number to contact you," she explained. Even now, Felix could not understand why Silas had made him make that promise."Go ahead. I'm listening," Felix replied calmly."Well... could you accompany me somewhere tonight? I could go alone, but the place is supposedly haunted at night, and I'm really scared," Zara clarified nervously.Felix found her excuse rather strange. "Zara, normally, I'd help you with anything, but I made a promise to Mr. Grayson. I don't want to go back on my word."Besides, Ernest was there at that time. If Silas found out about this and came looking for Felix, it would only bring nothing but trouble. "I know, but you owe me a favor. Surely a man of honor can repay a debt?" Zara countered.Felix had to admit she had a point, which immediately eased his conscience. "Alright. I'll see you tonight.""I can't come out easily. Could you buy some protective charm
Chapter 549
Felix watched other visitors freely entering and exiting Sixview Peak. Only an idiot would not realize Drake was behind this obstruction.Drake strutted over, his eyes full of arrogance. "Can you see the difference between us? This small example should make you understand your place."If you kneel before me now and sincerely promise to stay away from Nancy, I'll let this go and won't take any further action," Drake declared smugly. Felix ignored him, already considering Drake a dead man. After getting what he needed from Sixview Peak, he would have Seven from the Flair deal with him."Can you give me a valid reason for denying my entry? Otherwise, I'll have to pursue my legal rights," Felix addressed the guards.Before they could answer, a new voice interrupted, "Sixview Peak welcomes all visitors, but why enter when you're not a believer?" A chubby young man about Felix's age emerged, his innocent face contrasting with his wise-sounding words.The two gatekeepers immediately

Drake laughed. "Felix, just drop the act! Even someone as rich as my dad has a mobile banking limit of 500 thousand dollars. "And you seriously think you can transfer ten million dollars just like that? Nice try at fooling everyone!" Felix turned to him with a pitying look. He said, "It must be exhausting pretending to be rich all the time."As a VIP client at Concord Bank, Felix had no such transfer limits. Before Drake could respond, Billy's eyes widened as he stared at his phone. He exclaimed, "I've received the money!"Then, he quickly composed himself and resumed his wise demeanor. "Sir, your spiritual understanding far surpasses mine. Someone of your devotion is more than welcome at Sixview Peak. Please enter!" Billy gestured grandly. Felix was not just being petty—he needed to buy those items, and money was not an issue. Besides, supporting peaceful religion seemed worthwhile.Watching Felix disappear inside, Drake began trembling as he recalled Luis' warning—he ha

While waiting for Zara's call at home, Felix received one from Seven first. Seven reported, "Mr. Zeller, I checked on Drake when I got your order. He's already on a plane to Azuria."Felix was puzzled, wondering if Drake was really scared by his display of wealth at Sixview Peak. He questioned, "Then, just execute him when he lands. Why are you asking me?" "Flair only operates within Dragonia. We haven't expanded overseas; as you know, Ms. Davis isn't interested in that direction," Seven explained with resignation. Thinking of Averill's carefree nature, Felix knew Seven was not lying. "Fine. Execute if Drake returns. Otherwise, let it go," Felix decided. Such a minor figure was not worth pursuing internationally.…As night fell, Felix drove to a coffee shop where Zara was already waiting. As she got into the passenger seat, she said, "Felix, thank you so much for helping." "If Mr. Grayson knows you're afraid of supernatural things, why would he assign you this kind of ta

Zara lowered her head, not wanting Felix to notice her disappointment. She replied, "Yes, I understand. It won't happen again."When they reached the entrance of Mourning Village, the eerie atmosphere hit them both. Felix felt a shiver creep down his spine as he stared at the darkened village ahead. It loomed like the gaping maw of a monstrous beast, swallowing anyone who dared step inside and leaving no hope of return.Even standing outside, the oppressive darkness was suffocating. Felix could only imagine how it would feel to walk into the heart of it."Felix, let's put on the protective items," Zara urged.They quickly covered themselves with the various charms purchased from Sixview Peak. Felix was unsure if he was doing it to humor Zara or to settle his unease, but he did not mind the slight comfort it brought.Even as a powerful martial artist, Felix understood that the human fear of ghosts and the unknown could not simply be dismissed with brave words. With everything in pl

When they reached the corner, both black and white figures had vanished. However, Felix's lips curled into a slight smile as he muttered, "Well, I'm not going to be the one regretting this."Still carrying Zara, Felix raised his right hand slightly and then brought it down decisively. A thunderous crash echoed through the village, and a deep crater appeared about 300 feet away.Felix walked to the edge of the crater, gently set Zara down, and turned on his phone's flashlight. Zara gasped and covered her mouth in horror. Inside the crater lay two men, bloodied and severely injured."I knew there were no ghosts—just people playing tricks," Felix said as he crouched down. He continued, "Tell me. What makes two Martial Emperors play ghosts in some abandoned village? And how did you create those ghostly voices?"The two men paled with fear and stared at Felix as if he were a monster. The fact that a single strike from him had left them in this state spoke volumes about his strength.

Xena and Alistair were already at the scene with numerous Wolfie troops members, having arrived in multiple helicopters. "Mr. Zeller, we'll take them in for questioning. Thank you for your help," Alistair said."Are you feeling suspicious about this incident?" Xena asked. When Felix nodded, she continued, "Dragonia is vast. Despite Mourning Village's supernatural reputation, there were never any casualties, so previous investigations were merely for show—they found nothing and left."That made sense. With no death, it would surely not get much attention. Felix had to admit that Polaris' strategy was clever. They scared people, but they never crossed the line into actual harm."Will the Martial Alliance handle this?" Felix inquired. Xena shook her head firmly and explained, "No. Given the severity of the situation, I've received authorization from headquarters to handle this personally. Anyone from Polaris involved will face the consequences."She added, "We can't let people s

"Why would Medic's Haven's enforcement team want anything with me?" Felix asked, puzzled. He had never interfered with their affairs."I'm not sure of the details, but they claim you've insulted them and want to investigate," Silas explained.Felix immediately thought of Ethan and believed this had to be his doing. He smirked—Malcolm had already retreated, yet Ethan still dared to act out. "Got it. Thanks for the heads-up," Felix replied casually.Silas sensed Felix's underlying mood and added, "Just be careful. You know how Medic's Haven operates. "While most members are reasonable, their enforcement team is notoriously aggressive. Try to be diplomatic. If the investigation goes smoothly, this might blow over. Don't antagonize them." Felix knew Silas meant well, so he gave a polite response. Still, Felix was not the kind to bow his head over something he did not do. If they wanted trouble, they would get exactly what they asked for."Everything really was under Mr. Grayson'
