When Queenie accidentally touched the Hexbloom, Felix had to treat her immediately, leaving her in nothing but underwear due to the unusual circumstances. In that vulnerable state, he could not help but notice every detail of her body, including places he should not have seen. On Queenie's back, near her right shoulder, there was an intriguing tattoo that initially appeared to be a cobra's head but also resembled a skull upon closer inspection. The design was particularly striking with its red-inked edges, and Felix could not help but recall seeing it somewhere before."You've really seen it before?" Felix found himself in an unexpected situation and could only trust Billy's judgment."Yes, I have. What's the connection?" Billy pondered for a moment before continuing, "It's an ancient totem from Southern Xilona that somehow made its way into mainstream tattoo shops, and many customers choose it for themselves."Felix furrowed his brows. "Wouldn't that mean many people would experi

"Don't even mention it. Usually, this amount of alcohol wouldn't be an issue, but I barely slept last night," Jack groaned.Felix found it amusing since people typically slept better when drunk, which was unusual. "Having those kinds of dreams?" he teased, feeling relaxed around Jack, especially since Melissa was helping Vanessa in the kitchen.Jack shot Felix a look before turning serious. "It's strange. Last night felt like a dream but also seemed real. You probably won't believe this, but I kept hearing cries. "Sometimes, it sounded like children, other times like women, leaving me in this dreamlike state all night. Meanwhile, Nessa didn't stir once all night. When I asked her this morning, she said she hadn't heard anything."Felix's expression changed instantly, realizing Billy's warning was already coming true. Given Jack's close connection to him, the karmic tie was probably strongest, making him the first to experience the effects. While it was not surprising, its speed

Yvonne appeared equally surprised to see Felix standing at the gate."Have a safe trip, Ms. Cooper!" Queenie called from behind, her tone and expression revealing more than her words.Felix's instinctive greeting died in his throat as Yvonne maintained her distance, aware that their connection had ended. She had only exchanged pleasantries at the wedding due to the crowd, knowing where to draw the line.After a moment's hesitation, Felix broke the silence. "Yvonne, what brings you here?""Just some business matters to discuss with Queenie," Yvonne replied hastily, clearly caught off guard.Queenie looked between them with surprise. "You two know each other?""She was a former patient of mine," Felix explained with a smile."Oh! What a small world!" Through their brief conversation, Felix learned that Queenie had recently been transferred to be the regional CEO of Stellar Group. After Yvonne left, Felix handed Queenie the local specialties he had brought, having initiated the

"You bitch! How dare you splash me? Do you know who I am?" Edwin snarled.Just in time, Felix grabbed Edwin's wrist and pushed him back, causing him to stumble until his friends caught him. Though Felix had not planned on playing hero, he had never felt more compelled to act."Get lost!" he warned."You're both dead! Neither of you is walking out of here in one piece!" Edwin threatened as he pulled out a switchblade, and his friends quickly surrounded Felix."I'm calling the police!" Queenie warned, frightened as she pulled out her phone.Edwin sneered, "Call them, and I'll slice up that pretty face of yours."Felix calmly guided Queenie back to her seat before calling out to someone behind the thugs. "Handle this.""Mr. Zeller!" Multiple voices rang out in unison, startling Edwin and his men. They spun around to find over a dozen intimidating men standing behind them, far more threatening than any street thugs."M-Mr. Gray!" Edwin stammered, recognizing the leader. He could

Felix instantly recognized the voice—it was Delilah, also known as Dreamscape. After promising Billy, he contacted Seven from Flair to relay a message through Averill, though he had not expected such a quick response.Felix was grateful to Averill for allowing Seven to exist as a connection to his senior apprentices. Perhaps it was also Gerald's way of acknowledging that Felix would not abuse such relationships."Who's that? Felix, i-is someone else in your house?" Queenie asked fearfully, hiding behind him in a natural response to the unexpected voice.Delilah emerged wearing the mask she always wore in public. Felix quickly explained, "Don't be afraid. She's my senior apprentice."Queenie gathered her courage to look and gasped. "A-Aren't you Dreamscape?"Dreamscape was incredibly famous, and almost everyone knew about her. Moreover, her mask was so iconic that no one dared to copy it, knowing her fans would destroy any impostors. Felix shot Delilah an annoyed look before tu

"What? Queenie is a martial artist?" Felix was stunned, wondering how powerful this Shadow Mask could be. He shuddered to think what dangers might have awaited him if Delilah had not happened to arrive and expose the truth."I mean you no harm! Otherwise, I would have struck already! Let me leave, and I'll agree to any conditions!" Queenie pleaded.Delilah smirked. "Any conditions?""Yes, anything!" Queenie confirmed desperately.Felix suddenly burst out in anger. "Still trying to manipulate me? By 'any conditions,' you mean getting me to sleep with you, right?"Delilah was taken aback, wondering why Felix kept talking about sleeping with women. She wondered if his junior apprentices had messed with his head too much.Seeing Queenie's silence, Felix continued harshly. "I should have known there was something suspicious about that tattoo on your back. You'd better tell the truth, or you're not leaving!" Queenie suddenly turned to Delilah. "Please don't tell Felix what I really

Standing at Felix's gates was Xena—an utterly unexpected sight that explained his shocked expression. Despite their phone conversation, where she had threatened to block him again, she was there in the middle of the night. Could there be hope for reconciliation?With his heart racing, Felix rushed to open the gates. "Xena, what brings you here?""Can't I visit? How mean!" She pouted, giving him a reproachful look.After a moment's hesitation, Felix followed her inside, then broke into a wry smile. "Delilah, can we stop playing these games?"The woman about to sit on the couch looked puzzled. "What do you mean? Who's Delilah?"Felix shook his head. "Drop the act. Xena would never act cute with me right now—you don't know her at all. You almost had me fooled, though." He gestured toward her chest and added, "Plus, you're a bit more... ample there than she is."Looking down at herself, "Xena" laughed. "Oh? You seem to remember my features quite well. Did you measure me while I w

Felix maintained a straight face. "You're lucky to get anything at all. I never promised a fancy meal."Billy's frustration grew as Delilah barely spoke during breakfast and left quickly after eating just a little.Almost immediately after she left, he exploded, "Felix! What did I ever do to deserve this? I've dreamed about dining with Dreamscape countless times, and this is how you ruined it!"Felix snorted, pointing at Billy. "You're lucky I kept my promise at all, you fat idiot. After what you pulled, you deserve a good slap or two.""What did I do?" Billy demanded indignantly. "If you don't explain yourself, I'll put funeral wreaths in front of your clinic this afternoon."Felix simply watched Billy's reaction before continuing, "Queenie deceived me. There was never any haunted tattoo situation. What do you have to say for yourself?"Billy deflated and slumped in his chair. "Don't blame me! Queenie offered too much money. I couldn't refuse! Besides, it wouldn't have hurt you.
