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
"Don't worry, I'll contact the police immediately. We'll go together with them, and I'll bring all the necessary documents. No one will doubt us with both of us there," Dorian said.He genuinely admired Felix.As the manager of Concord Bank's branch in Gray City, Dorian had met more wealthy people than he could count. Most of them put on a polished act in public but often had less-than-noble motives behind closed doors. Even charity was usually just a way to reduce taxes or boost their public image. However, Felix was different. He didn't have to do this—especially for a small orphanage with no potential for fame. Yet here he was, determined to donate regardless.Even if Felix was not of his current status, Dorian would have gladly offered his help.When they returned to the orphanage, the director was utterly stunned. The old man began apologizing profusely."I'm so sorry, Mr. Zeller! I was narrow-minded for distrusting your kindness. Please forgive me!"Felix quickly stopped
Felix's expression turned a little strange. Could the security guard be one of those legendary hidden characters he only heard about in stories?"What kind of opportunity are you offering, sir?" Felix asked.The next moment, an overwhelming aura enveloped Felix."If you can casually donate ten million dollars, you must already be aware of the existence of Dragonia's most mysterious martial artists! I happen to be one of the top mentors among them. If you take me as your mentor, I'll teach you martial arts. Wouldn't that be the best?"Felix was truly stunned. This seemingly ordinary security guard turned out to be a Martial Saint-level expert. No matter how far they had fallen, figures of this caliber shouldn't end up as mere gatekeepers."There's no need, sir. I'm actually a martial artist myself."The older man frowned slightly but didn't push further."Fair enough. It seems fate isn't on our side. Young man, doing good deeds may not bring immediate results, but everything will
"Yes. Are you here to buy a car too?" Felix asked.Queenie nodded. "Yeah, the new pink Defender from Range Rover just came out. I'm planning to buy one.""Let's go in together! My friend's bestie works here as a sales rep. Of course, if you have someone you know here, that's fine too," Felix said.Queenie smiled and agreed, leaving Nelly speechless. Meeting such kind-hearted people made her feel that all the unpleasant things she had experienced before were worth it.The three of them entered the dealership, and Nelly's friend, Isabella Wells, who had already received the call, was waiting for them. She was a pretty girl with big waves in her hair, giving off a bright and cheerful vibe."Ladies first. Queenie, why don't you look at the Defender first?" Felix said.Queenie didn't hesitate. "Okay."The purchasing process went smoothly. Felix and Queenie were both straightforward people who didn't fuss over details. They paid the full amount without a second thought. Isabella was t
The middle-aged store manager's commanding presence was hard to ignore. When Isabella was suddenly called out by name, she froze on the spot. Nelly, standing nearby, also widened her eyes in shock.She had only heard of Kurt Gray once, and that was when she visited Felix's Tranquil Clinic. Even a tough guy like Huxley had been scared to death by him. Kurt was definitely someone extremely powerful.When did Isabella get to know him? Nelly had absolutely no idea."Nelly! What should I do? I… I was just bluffing. It was a casual chat with friends, saying that Mr. Gray was especially powerful and that no one dared to mess with him."Nelly didn't know what to do either. She knew Felix was familiar with Kurt, but why would he help now? Especially with so many people on the other side, stepping in carelessly could drag them all into trouble.Felix, standing off to the side, couldn't help but chuckle. It was amusing to see a young woman make such big claims. He didn't need to ask to kno
