Felix laughed and said, "It's fine, don't worry about it too much.""That's good. By the way, don't forget about my wedding," Jack said.After the phone call ended, Felix and his companions had a few more drinks. Then, they personally took him to the airport. Felix arrived back in Gray City just as the sun was setting.Having just built a good relationship with Willow, Felix felt it was best to seize the opportunity. Even staying a night in Yartford felt like a loss to him.As he was nearing his home, Felix spotted a woman who turned her head as if sensing his presence."Zara Morgan?" he called out.Felix frowned. As soon as Zara took a step, Felix ran off. After all, he had already promised Silas to avoid her.Some time later at night, a call from Kurt came through."What's the situation?" Felix asked."The woman is still standing at the door and hasn't left," Kurt replied.Felix felt a headache brewing from the news he heard. "I understand. Keep watching her."It seemed
The Twinshade Body? Felix scoured his mind but couldn't find any information about it, so he had no choice but to admit, "I've never heard of it."Silas was visibly disappointed, and he stopped himself from saying more. Rising to his feet, Silas said, "Just hold on for a few more days. I've been trying to find a solution, and I've already contacted Lemuel. He's promised to give me an answer soon. I can only ask for your patience for now."As he spoke, Silas unexpectedly bowed, which startled Felix. Felix asked, "What are you doing, sir?" Silas waved his hand. "This is something my apprentice and I owe you. It has nothing to do with you. You're a victim in all of this. I'm already very grateful that you respect me. Once I have the results, I'll contact you right away."With that, Silas left, leaving Felix feeling unsettled and anxious.It kind of felt like when a beautiful woman had stirred him up to the point of burning with desire, only to tell him that she couldn't proceed
"At that time, all the righteous and evil factions united to hunt him down. After trapping him, they fought for nine days and nights. There were countless casualties before they finally killed the Twinshade Body's owner," Gerald explained.Felix's mouth hung open in shock, imagining just how intense that battle must have been—it was too exaggerated to even comprehend."Is the Twinshade Body really that terrifying?" Felix asked."Yes! Before the body fully erupts, the person is just like an ordinary human. Only someone at the level of a master healer could detect it by physically touching the body. No matter how strong the martial artist, they wouldn't sense it. But once it erupts, controlling it is nearly impossible."Before Felix could ask more questions, Gerald continued, "If I'm not mistaken, Silas must have used the Ultimate Needle Technique to seal Zara's Twinshade Body. "After the incident in the Era of King Arthur, this formation was researched and became the only way to t
When Felix arrived at the villa's entrance, Silas, despite coughing up blood, stood firm in front of Zara.Standing across from them was none other than Karina. Who would have thought she would arrive so quickly? It was as if she had been nearby the whole time."If you insist on this, don't blame me for being ruthless," she said.Karina's expression was cold and unyielding. She had already injured Silas with one strike, but she hadn't delivered a fatal blow out of consideration. However, seeing that Silas refused to step aside, she had no reason to hold back anymore.Felix knew how serious Karina was about her tasks, especially when they came from their mentor. Without wasting time on pointless pleas like "spare him", he pushed his speed to the limit. Even resorting to using the Speed Talisman Gerald had given him, he barely managed to intercept Karina at the critical moment.Knowing he wasn't her match, Felix shouted as he threw himself at Karina, holding her back."Take her a
It would have been too much of a reckless gamble to take Zara away by force."Don't worry, sir. Zara's strength is no match for mine. My mentor once said that the Twinshade Body only activates after falling in love and being intimate with someone they love. If she comes to me, I can completely restrain her and hand her over to you," Felix said.However, Silas shook his head immediately."That won't work. There's something I haven't told you. Do you remember the time Zara saved your life?""Of course."That poisoning incident was something Felix would never forget for the rest of his life."The stunning beauty you were with in your dream? That was the real Zara! Yes, her true appearance is just that flawless."Felix was stunned, like a bolt of lightning had struck him. Could there really be such a perfect woman in this world, with a figure and looks beyond reproach?"Now imagine this. If Zara regains her true appearance and stands before you, as a man—especially one who's alread
At that moment, the kind of temptation no man could resist was fully unveiled.It was especially so when Zara revealed her breathtaking, flawless face. It was simply beauty at its absolute peak. Her delicate hand lifted slightly, and the smooth curve of her shoulder began to show.Felix was caught completely off guard. He hadn't anticipated Zara breaking her word so abruptly, let alone launching such a powerful move without a single warning.His hands trembled violently as he tried to summon a burst of energy or a forceful wave to knock her unconscious. However, his body wouldn't respond. Some deep, primal urge in his mind held him back, preventing him from taking decisive action. And in the depths of his consciousness, the memories of their intimate dream became even more vivid."Am I beautiful? Don't you want to have me—truly have me?"Zara stepped closer to Felix, and with each step, a captivating fragrance grew stronger. It wasn't just a scent that filled his nose. It seemed
Felix let out a bitter laugh, thinking, "Aren't I just as guilty?"Overconfidence was a flaw, and today, he had fully realized it. He had already experienced Zara's perfection in his dreams, so he should have known how terrifyingly overwhelming her allure could be. Yet, here they were.Silas soon departed with his spirits crushed, leaving Felix to return to the villa. Sitting on the living room couch, he softly called out, "Karina."As expected, Karina appeared across from him, as if out of thin air."So, you've finally crossed that line?"Her tone was calm, not reflecting the turmoil that would typically accompany the eruption of the Twinshade Body."Yes," Felix admitted. "I overestimated myself. Karina, could you please contact Mr. Hoffman? Perhaps I don't have the right to claim responsibility for everything, but whatever consequences there are, I won't avoid them."Without another word, Karina dialed a number and, after a brief exchange, handed the phone to Felix."You br
Felix's hands trembled while holding his phone—his entire body was overcome with fear. He was so anxious he couldn't bring himself to press the answer button.In the end, it was Karina who stepped in, unable to watch him struggle any longer. She reached over and answered the call, putting it on speaker mode."Mr. Zeller, a chemical plant caught fire. So far, 35 fatalities have been confirmed."Felix felt a whirlwind of emotions. On one hand, it was good news that this wasn't connected to Zara. However, it was bad news that over 30 lives had been consumed by the merciless flames."I understand. I'll transfer some money to you. Please make sure it's distributed to the families of the deceased," Felix said.Not knowing about the incident was one thing. Now that he knew, there was no way he could ignore it. Felix wasn't a saint, but he wasn't heartless either."By the way, Karina, what does Dahlia need me to do?" he asked.Karina handed him a piece of paper. "Donate ten million doll
