More importantly, the news about the incident leaked for some reason. Many people now knew about the story, and Malcolm became a laughingstock throughout the community. He could have swallowed his pride if Felix had still been part of the Greene family. But learning that Felix was just their cast-off heir who had no intention of returning changed everything. "We're all adults here. Let's just drop the act since we're already sitting down," Felix said.Hearing Felix's words, Malcolm did not hold himself back anymore. He slammed the table and stood up. "You're nothing without the Greene family backing you! I'm here for payback." Felix smirked as he pointed at the two expressionless old men. "Are you going to do that with these old timers' help?" The men's eyes flashed dangerously. They would have torn Felix apart if Malcolm had not held them back. "Old timers? It's amazing how you can be so arrogant." With a wave of his hand, the men stood up together. Their aura filled every
A wheelchair was pushed into the room by a middle-aged man with strong features. Though deathly pale, the man in the wheelchair had eyes that radiated terrifying power. A single glance from him made Malcolm tremble. He had only felt this kind of presence from the most powerful elders in his family. Felix, on the other hand, felt a storm of emotions. Blood ties could indeed be mysterious. Even if the man in the wheelchair had not spoken earlier, one look told Felix this was his biological father, Victor Greene. "Malcolm Crayden, you clearly didn't take my last warning seriously. It's quite annoying." Asher Greene followed them in while fixing Malcolm with an icy stare. Composing himself, Malcolm spoke, "Asher, Felix is just a cast-off heir with no ties to the Greene family as far as I'm concerned. Even if you're protecting him, it's because of your personal feelings! "The Greene family may be powerful, but going against the entire Crayden family over your personal wishes seems
Anyone could see the striking resemblance between the two men. From their appearances, it was clear they were father and son. Victor's eyes welled up with tears. He would have preferred Felix to yell or curse at him irrationally. His calm attitude hurt more because it meant Felix saw him as a stranger. He could not even hate Victor. "I'm happy enough to have met you before I die." Victor pulled something from his pocket, and Felix's expression instantly changed. However, he had suspected it, seeing and feeling the item before he confirmed it. The thing in Victor's hands was the real Dragonspine. "It's yours now, my child." Felix accepted the Dragonspine. He planned to cultivate it after heading back. "I'm leaving then," Felix said."Do you really have nothing to say to me?" Felix stopped and laughed. "What should I say? Should I ask why you'd have a child you wouldn't raise? Or how could you do something so heartless? Maybe I should punch you, shouldn't I? "None of those
"It's up to you whether you want to believe it. I only told you because of your special position." Victor wheeled himself away, leaving Nala standing there stunned. The shock in her eyes only grew stronger with each passing moment. "That's Felix's mother?" Her expression shifted rapidly before she finally left with a bitter smile. …Four days flew by. Felix stayed at home and focused on cultivating the third Dragonspine he had received from Victor. It was a matter of utmost importance. With his current strength, it only took him four days to complete the process. He smiled as he felt the presence of three Dragonspines within him. "I've finally built the foundation Mr. Hoffman spoke of." With three Dragonspines now, there was no need to panic even if something happened to the original one Gerald had marked. He could sense other Dragonspines within a certain range now.As he stretched, Xena called. "Though it's a bit later than what I told you, they've arrived in Canraville. Le
Thaddeus smiled. "Just as I expected. Any other reaction would have surprised me." Xerxes then became curious. He sat down and said, "Dad, I know Mr. Zeller has strong ties to one of the Eight Great Martial Families, the Saphira family. That proved how powerful he is. "But Polaris is no pushover. They're powerful enough to challenge the middle-ranked families among the Eight Great Martial Families." Thaddeus nodded and patted Xerxes' head. "You've matured a lot since your encounter with Felix. I'm happy for you, so I'll tell you more! Felix isn't just any ordinary man. The Saphira family aside, he has Dragon Alliance backing him." Dragon Alliance? Xerxes was shocked as he broke out in a cold sweat. He felt wise for having set his ego aside and apologized to Felix immediately back then. If not, he might have been dead by now. "Doesn't that mean Polaris is asking for trouble by going after Mr. Zeller?" Thaddeus frowned. "Not necessarily. Polaris has deep roots too. I told you
Xena smacked Felix's head playfully. "What feels off? Are you afraid I'm setting you up?" Felix turned around and retaliated without hesitation–smacking his hand on her bottom. A blush instantly rose to Xena's cheeks. She glared at him but did not do anything more. "So springy," Felix thought. Coming back to his senses, he then quickly changed the subject. "Edmund is poisoned." Xena's brows furrowed. "Would it kill him?" "No, but the poison is quite unusual. The contact was too brief for me to determine its exact effects." This explanation put Xena at ease. "What's there to be suspicious about, though? Edmund is an elder of Medic's Haven and a skilled practitioner. Don't traditional medicine practitioners like you often experiment on yourselves?" Then she grabbed Felix's neck. "Try doing those kinds of things to me again and you're dead!" Felix just smiled. Her threats only proved that they had grown closer to each other. After all, women would only get mad at men they ca
Nala's body trembled hard as she spoke. She had spent one of her few ultimate trump cards just to verify Victor's words. It was something that could save her life in a crucial moment, but it was now wasted. This showed how powerful this mysterious person was. Nala could not even meet her in person, and she had to pay such a steep price for an answer. "I was wrong for underestimating you! I can't believe you could contact her at this time." Victor's face turned ashen. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. "Uncle Victor!" Asher rushed over and glared at Nala. "It's not her fault. My time has come." Blood now flowed from his nose, ears, and even his eyes. Even Nala's expression changed. What kind of illness could cause such a horrific death? "Felix, it's my fault. It's all my fault!" Both tears and blood poured from his eyes. "Of course, she wouldn't admit it now that you've managed to contact her! It's all my fault. Instead of giving my son hope, I've put him in great da
Malcolm was dead! He was the eldest son of the Crayden family–one of the Eight Great Martial Families. Was he really dead? Besides, Felix announced it as if he had witnessed it himself. Logically, this should have caused massive waves in their circles. Yet, they had not heard a whisper of it till meeting Felix today. George was startled when they reached the entrance. "Who are you waiting for, Dad?" The middle-aged man nearby was George's father, Reginald Zimmerman. After hearing George, he turned and hurried over. "Felix, you're here already!" Reginald exclaimed.Felix nodded. "Yes, Uncle Reginald. Were you here waiting for me?" "Of course! This little rascal didn't even tell me you'd arrived." His sincerity was obvious. George explained, "Dad, I saw you were busy entertaining your friends, so I thought I'd welcome Mr. Zeller myself." Though pleased with his son's relationship with Felix, Reginald knew proper etiquette was important. After all, Felix's support would decid
