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

After stepping inside, Xena finally spoke. "I heard from Alistair that you've crossed paths with people from Medic's Haven. Is that true?"So that was what this was about. Felix smiled and replied, "It's just baseless accusations. Don't worry, it's nothing serious."Xena's brows knitted deeply, her expression turning grave. "You don't seem to understand the severity of this. Or perhaps you don't know much about Medic's Haven?"Felix frowned slightly. "I'm not following.""Medic's Haven holds a unique position. Many legendary physicians hail from there. To put it bounty, even when I was known as Lady Summers, I didn't have the qualifications to approach them. Does that help you understand?"Felix hesitated briefly, realizing she was genuinely concerned about him. Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed her hand. Xena initially struggled half-heartedly before accepting it."Relax. I know what I'm doing. Medic's Haven isn't a group of bandits or thugs. Like you said, they've trained co

"Malcolm Crayden?" Felix asked immediately. "Where are you having dinner?"On the other end of the line, Jack chuckled cheerfully. "Why? Thinking of joining us? Sure, that's why I called you. If you come, my chances of closing this deal will skyrocket!"After getting the address, Felix wasted no time heading over. He refrained from saying much to Jack, worried that his emotions might give something away to Malcolm and potentially cause unnecessary trouble.The fact that Malcolm was negotiating with Jack could only mean one thing—it was about Felix. After all, the Crayden family was one of the Eight Great Martial Families. They wouldn't even bat an eye at someone like Wendy or her father, Vincent, let alone sit down with a manager from the Kinsley Group.At a high-end restaurant in Canraville, Jack raised his wine decanter with a grin. "Mr. Crayden, your compliments earlier really hit home for me. I'll drink to that!"Malcolm smiled and nodded, flanked by two stern-looking elderl
