"Jenna, they're almost here. Dad just called me. This time, they'll definitely cure you," Elijah reassured.Jenna Carter was unlike many women in Azuria—completely natural and without any trace of high-tech modifications. However, anyone could see she was in poor spirits.It was understandable. Marrying into such a wealthy family was already a challenge. She was already grateful Elijah Rothwell loved her deeply, but failing to conceive a child? She couldn't imagine how many whispers and pointed fingers were directed at her behind her back. The weight of that alone was more than enough to crush her."Okay, darling. I'll do everything I can. For you, I'll endure any hardship," Jenna said with determination.A short while later, Felix and his team arrived. Everyone had gathered outside, ready to greet them."Mr. Zeller, if I may ask, my daughter-in-law, Jenna, has always looked unwell. Could there be another issue? Could you please take a look as well?" Caleb Rothwell inquired.Fe

This was Felix's suggestion, and Caleb naturally complied. Deep down, he was already uneasy. Everything was happening too fast—so fast it was almost unbelievable."To be honest with you, Mr. Zeller. Jenna has undergone numerous tests, but nothing abnormal has been found." Garrett spoke up, giving a subtle reminder that Felix recognized as well-intentioned."I wasn't finished. Just call your medical team over to confirm if she's pregnant through a blood test," Felix said.Everyone was stunned. Even Jenna, who had just stepped out of the bedroom, stood frozen in shock."Felix Zeller! What are you implying? How dare you make such malicious accusations against my sister-in-law? If she could get pregnant, why would we need you here?" Adrian seized the opportunity, rising to fan the flames of discord.Before anyone could react, Caleb struck Adrian across the face with a harsh slap, his gaze sharp and piercing."Get out! If you can't keep your mouth shut, don't speak at all," Caleb comm

Caleb didn't even wait for the blood test results to come back before having Elijah and Jenna kneel in gratitude to Felix. This gesture was a clear statement of his trust and respect—it was no wonder he had become one of the most powerful magnates in Azuria.Once Elijah and Jenna stood up, Caleb announced with a wide grin, "Spread the word—every employee under Titan Holdings will receive double their performance bonus this month!""Yes, sir!"When a family patriarch like Caleb was in high spirits, he could afford to be extravagantly generous, easily flaunting his wealth.The entire Rothwell family was swept into a wave of joy as soon as the blood test results confirmed everything Felix had said. Whether Caleb's two daughters and sons-in-law shared the same enthusiasm was irrelevant to Felix—it wasn't his concern.That evening, Caleb, still deeply moved, asked, "Mr. Zeller, are you sure you don't want any money?"He had prepared billions as a token of gratitude, only for Felix to

"We're here. The person is inside," the woman said, gesturing toward a small wooden cabin as they emerged from the forest.Felix nodded. "Alright."Although Felix spoke calmly, he immediately extended his senses toward the cabin, scanning its interior. A moment later, he realized it was completely empty.Almost simultaneously, a powerful gust of wind surged toward him. Felix's instincts kicked in, and he swiftly leaped back, his body retreating at lightning speed.But the danger wasn't over. Another ambush came from behind, forcing him to spin around and unleash a strike.The ground beneath him shattered with a boom, and Felix was pushed back several dozen yards before stopping at the cabin's doorway."After the Dexter Grimshaw incident, our Elders' Council has started taking you seriously. We even sent the two of us, but it seems we still underestimated you!"The speaker was a middle-aged man who stood beside the woman who had guided Felix here. Her face now twisted into a sini

The two pursuers were utterly baffled—Felix's speed far surpassed theirs."It must be some sort of forbidden technique. Don't worry. This is an island; at best, he'll head for the sea. With our superior cultivation level and spiritual energy, we can outlast him. Techniques like that can't last forever," the man said.As they spoke, they both broke into confident smiles. In their minds, Felix was like cooked meat on a platter—there was no escape for him. Even though he was already over the sea, as long as he remained within their sensory range, catching him was just a matter of time. After all, their strength was undeniable."Darling, what's that?"Suddenly, the woman froze in place, pointing skyward. Her husband followed her gaze, his face turning pale as he saw the massive object streaking through the sky with a fiery tail."A missile?"Those were the last words he uttered. What followed was sheer terror.Explosions erupted as Felix dived into the sea just in time."Damn! Th

Felix's expression was devoid of emotion. "Nala? What does her situation have to do with me?"On the other end of the call, Yvonne was already sobbing. "I'm sorry, Felix! Please, I'm begging you to save Lady Nala. She's abroad and can't handle this on her own. I'm begging you!"But Felix remained indifferent. "I refuse. Yvonne, don't forget—it was that woman who first took away your happiness and then sent you to your death. Is she really worth it?""She is! Without Lady Nala, there wouldn't be me! Fine, I get it. Just help her this once, and I promise to leave Caraville immediately. I won't bother you again, ever."Felix sighed. He knew agreeing now would break Yvonne's heart. But he had no choice—Madam Spring's artifact posed a deadly risk to him. He could only act harshly to completely sever Yvonne's hope. Over time, she would heal and eventually find her own happiness."Fine, I'll go check the situation. But if it's too much, don't blame me for walking away."Time passed, and

"What brings you to Azuria?" Nala asked.Even though Felix remained silent, Nala kept talking tirelessly, almost as if she were speaking to herself. Her demeanor was entirely different from the impression she had given before—she was practically unrecognizable."Are you truly not considering returning to the Greene family? You can't begin to imagine the power they hold in Dragonia. "With your background, if you went back now, the Greene family would undoubtedly welcome you. With their formidable support, your future path would be incredibly smooth. Trust me," Nala said.At that moment, footsteps finally echoed from outside. Felix silently thanked the heavens—if they hadn't come, he might've been tempted to plug his ears."Who dares to hit my men?"A middle-aged man strode in, flanked by seven bodyguards dressed in black. Hands in his pocket, his swagger was practically oozing arrogance."I did," Felix said.Julian Hale let out a derisive snort, his face full of disdain."Do y

"Bones?" Felix frowned, sensing there was more to those words than met the eye. "What does that mean?"Nala looked surprised. The Greene family had sought her out, instructing her to pass along this exact message. If Felix ignored it, she was simply to repeat the same words.She hadn't expected it to actually catch his interest, making the whole situation even stranger."I don't know what it means. Your father, Victor, asked me to tell you," Nala said.Felix studied Nala for a moment before walking away, leaving behind a single comment. "If I figure it out, I'll contact you."As his car headed toward the airport, Felix remained deep in thought. Bones? Did his biological father know something?After all, how could anyone expect him to remember his childhood fascinations? On the surface, the phrase seemed meaningless, like idle chatter. But when "bones" were involved, the implications changed entirely.While mulling it over, his phone buzzed with an incoming call from an unfamil
