Their appearance at the front table seemed conspicuous. That was because even the youngest person seated there was in their 40s. Though Felix wanted to invite Madeline and Luke over, they declined. Sometimes, they had to know their place to avoid seeming presumptuous. Just as they sat down, an older woman appeared. "Aunt Victoria!" George stood and bowed respectfully. "The head of the Zimmerman family hasn't officially announced who their heir would be. But George's uncle, Xavier Zimmerman, basically runs things now. His wife, Victoria Morgan, is quite the shrewd operator," Ryan whispered to Felix. Felix stayed quiet. When George asked for his help, he could already guess this involved family politics. "George, is this the guy who caused trouble to the Walsh family from Aleshire, Felix Zeller? I hear you're good friends with him, aren't you?" "Yes, Aunt Victoria." Since they were not allies, Felilx saw no need to be overly polite to her. Besides, the look in Victoria's

"Lady Grey, you should have told us you were coming! I would have greeted you outside!" All eyes turned toward the voice. No one else had made such a grand entrance, so this was clearly someone extraordinary. Oddly enough, the one who had greeted her was not Reginald, who was having his birthday today. It was his brother, Dominic Zimmerman, instead. Many people thought it was strange. "George, what's going on? Your uncle seems like he's trying to steal the spotlight." Hearing Ryan's words, George furrowed his brows too. "I had no idea about this. When did Uncle Dominic get to know people from the Elders' Council? And this woman called Lady Grey must hold quite a position there. Felix looked over. "Have you guys heard of the Elders' Council too?" Now, it was their turn to be surprised. Ryan quickly explained, "The Elders' Council is an organization created by the Eight Great Martial Families. Of course, we know it. Is this your first time hearing about it, Mr. Zeller?" Felix

"The third-generation Grandmaster of Moonshadow Alliance should be here by now. Let me call and check," Felix said.George gave a bitter smile. "Mr. Zeller, don't bother! It's not your fault. No one expected Uncle Dominic to have this ace up his sleeve. Even if Moonshadow Alliance showed up now, it wouldn't help." Seeing Felix's confusion, Ryan whispered an explanation, "Moonshadow Alliance is indeed powerful in Dragonia, and few dare disrespect them as you saw with the Walsh family. "But the Eight Great Martial Families are beyond that league. Moonshadow Alliance could barely challenge one or two of the lowest-ranked families, and that's only with their founder involved. "George's uncle has actually managed to invite Lady Grey of the Elders' Council. She seems influential just from her title. Offending her would mean making enemies of all Eight Great Martial Families. After all, the Council represents them." Could Moonshadow Alliance barely challenge the lowest-ranked familie

Felix whirled around to look. The seat beside him had been empty as it was reserved for the third-generation Grandmaster of Moonshadow Alliance, Christie. Now, someone sat there. He would not have noticed if it had not been for George's dramatic reaction. But this seemed impossible. With Felix's capabilities, he should have noticed someone approaching so close even without actively sensing it. And yet… "Karina?" Felix was dumbfounded. The person suddenly sitting beside him was his fellow apprentice Karina. George and Ryan were too shocked by her sudden appearance to notice how casually he was addressing her, or they would have asked questions. After all, they were martial artists too, and they had not seen her arrive. "What? Are you not happy to see me?" Karina was dressed casually today. She was wearing light blue jeans and a yellow T-shirt with her hair tied up. "Of course I am. I was just quite surprised," Felix said.Upon seeing them chatting with each other, the other t

"She's my godsister," Felix replied.Karina did not even bother to get up. She just nodded to greet them. Victoria immediately seized this opportunity to insult them. "Hah! One person gets invited, and the whole family has to come along and eat! Why are you even bringing your relatives to a birthday party? "What, have you never been to such a fancy event before, Felix? And this godsister of yours is ill-mannered as you. Everyone else is standing while you two stay seated." Dominic was harsher. He even pointed toward the exit. "Both of you, get out! What an embarrassment. George, if you ever bring friends like this to public events again, I will throw you out of the family." Felix's body tensed at these words. Stiffly, he turned to look at Karina. Their eyes met as she asked casually, "Can I kill them?" Felix gulped. This was his worst fear. In normal circumstances, Dominic and Victoria would already be headless. The fact she was asking showed she was really trying to respect

Of course, Reginald understood what George meant. He had just been too shocked. Who could have imagined Felix's godsister would have such authority over Pearly? "Mr. Zeller, allow me to toast your godsister." He did not dare address Karina directly, so he spoke to Felix instead, who was closer to him. "Sorry, Uncle Reginald. Karina doesn't drink." Her coming here was already pushing limits. There was no way she would get up and drink. "Of course, of course. I'll drink to show my respect then. Please enjoy yourselves." Reginald could not care less about the refusal. He was overjoyed. Dominic thought he was so powerful, yet his "important guest" had been immediately put in her place. It served them right! Standing there, Dominic and Victoria's expressions were dark, but they did not dare to make a sound. After all, what could they do if even Pearly had run away in disgrace? "Karina, you can go now," Felix said.Karina nodded. "Alright." George's matter was essentially res

Madeline smiled without saying anything. Forget her marriage to Luke. She knew well that even the pasta business would not have been this smooth without Felix's help. Starting a business meant dealing with countless officials and stakeholders. Only Luke's sister's connections made it so easy. And those conveniences did not fall from the sky—they came through Felix. "Maddy, you should go. I'll head to the airport myself," Felix said.Felix's sudden words seemed odd to Madeline until she spotted someone approaching aggressively. "Okay. I'm planning to visit Canraville in a few days. We'll meet up with Jack then." Almost as soon as Madeline left, Asher stood before Felix with cold eyes. "Come with me!" Despite the commanding tone, Felix remained calm. "Are we that close?" Asher tried to grab him. It was impressive that he had reached the Ultimate Mortal Realm at such a young age, but he was no match for Felix. When Asher's arm was caught, his whole body became immobilized. "

Xena came home to find a table full of food that night. Puzzled, she turned to Alice Gunner, their housekeeper. "Are we having company tonight?" Alice said with a smile, "I'm not sure. Mr. Summers Senior just asked me to prepare all this food." Her grandfather did? Xena figured Curtis must be expecting friends over since nothing else made sense. "You're home, Xena. Wash up and join me for a drink." As Curtis walked down the stairs, he beamed like a teenager in love. Xena stared at him, dumbfounded. "What's got you in such high spirits, Grandpa?" "Let's discuss it over dinner." While Xena poured them both some wine, her curiosity burned. "Can you tell me now?" As it turned out, this feast was not for guests. He was just in a great mood. "My greatest burden has finally been lifted. Isn't that worth celebrating?" Xena did not even know he had any burdens. "Will you tell me about it?" Curtis nodded. His eyes were filled with nostalgia and memories. "Long ago, I hurt som
