All of a sudden, Luna walked into Tranquil Clinic. "Dr. Zeller," she called out.Felix glanced up and asked, "Did you solve the issue?"From the look in her eyes, he could tell something had happened."It was just a small favor since I happened to know you. I wanted to bring over the person who framed you, but unfortunately, I wasn't able to. Please forgive me."Felix smiled. "It's alright. You've helped me this time, so I owe you a favor."If this were the old Felix, he wouldn't have cared. But now, he had another identity—an admiral.The deeper and longer his entanglement in this, the worse it would become. Thus, Luna's help this time was of deep significance."Dr. Zeller, that isn't right. I'll owe you a lot if you're willing to treat my grandfather. How can you owe me one?"Felix stood up and said seriously, "Let's put it this way. The things your grandfather did in Dragonia are worth my help. Even if I were to thank you on behalf of the children in the slums, I still owe y
When Luna saw Felix's expression, her face reddened. She knew he misunderstood the situation."Dr. Zeller, I… I want you to test my lungs first to see if they match my grandfather's," she explained.Felix was immediately embarrassed. He had really misunderstood her intentions. Perhaps the influence of pornography had lingered too deeply in his mind. Under such circumstances, any man would've jumped to the wrong conclusion."Even if they match, what will your grandfather think when he wakes up?" Felix countered.Luna looked at her grandfather lying on the bed. Her expression was doting and full of love."He's taken care of me since I was a child. It's time I repaid him! You can do it, and I'll take care of anything else that comes after."Upon hearing this, Felix stood up and stopped Luna from taking off her shirt. "Alright, I can confirm it by taking your pulse. I won't need the silver needles."After a while, Felix's expression brightened up."You know what? You two are th
"One day, I'll meet him again," Luna said.…Another day passed, and Willow still hadn't responded. However, Felix didn't rush her—these things couldn't be rushed. Whether he was helping sincerely or not, these were truly two different concepts.Felix didn't open the clinic the whole day. Instead, he hid in a small hotel because the Obsidian Auction was his top priority—nothing else could compare.When he saw the time, Felix put on the Shadow Mask. It didn't require any sacrifices, and it could be adjusted at will after being worn.In the end, he settled on the appearance of a middle-aged man who seemed gentle and elegant before heading off to the auction site. There was a holiday villa near the village a couple of miles away from Gray City. That was where the Obsidian Auction was being held.Unlike the Golden Prime Auction, there wasn't a grand hall. Although the hall at the villa was lavishly decorated, it had no VIP rooms. Everyone sat on the chairs below.As Felix entered th
Under the red cloth was a cage, and inside stood a person. Although she was wearing a veil and only her eyes were visible, Felix recognized her instantly—it was Melissa."Don't act so impulsively. Think about Skyward Guild," Billy suddenly said. Felix calmed down quickly after hearing that. It was definitely unrealistic to want to snatch someone away by force. As the top guild in Dragonia, Skyward Guild's strength was beyond imagination."The heir of Thief Guild! Those above the Aetherial Realm can subdue her. The consignor requires money plus one of three items to be considered eligible for auction. "The three items are Bloodstone, Hexbloom, and Bewitched Grass. The auction starts now."Felix heaved a sigh of relief. Thanks to Nala impersonating Queenie, he accidentally acquired a Hexbloom, which proved to be valuable this time. At the Obsidian Auction, there was no worry about bribery after the bidding ended because Skyward Guild was confident in its power. Regardless of w
Billy's voice was tinged with humor as he replied to Felix, "Don't worry. I'll arrange for someone to pick it up, and they'll bring your Hexbloom here as well."Although Billy usually seemed unreliable, he was still quite useful at critical moments. The following auction items were really quite bizarre. Some of them were items that Felix had never heard of. However, from the fierce bidding between the audience, it could be deduced that all of them were good things.However, Aiden didn't make a single bid at all. Instead, he had his eyes closed the entire time.A few hours later, the auctioneer's expression turned solemn. "Please bring out the last item of the auction. The finale of the Obsidian Auction."A beautiful woman came on stage holding a tray with a glass cover. The item inside was in clear view for everyone to see—an extremely strange-looking bone. Felix didn't get excited by it. When he had arrived earlier, he had already sensed it. This was definitely a real Dragon
Under the staff's guidance, Felix entered a room. There were already several people inside. Besides Aiden and Asher, there were two others wearing masks gathered together.After sitting down, Aiden suddenly turned to Felix. "Have we met somewhere before?" he asked.Felix was shocked. Aiden's perceptiveness was terrifying."Have we? I don't seem to recall…"Without saying another word, Aiden closed his eyes and began resting again. A short while later, an elderly man came in with an unpleasant-looking middle-aged man."I am Wayne Sutcliff, but you can call me Mr. Sutcliff. I'm the person in charge of the Obsidian Auction." He stretched out his right hand and introduced, "This man next to me is the consignor, Ross Livingston."With that, Wayne got straight to the point. "Mr. Livingston wants to know which master healer you're inviting."Aiden spoke first. "Magnus Grimwald from Medic's Haven."Felix's gaze deepened after he heard that. The Greenes were quite formidable. Magnus
"There's no first come, first serve. All four participants can diagnose the patient at the same time. The specific requirement to claim the item is for whoever can cure the patient the best."This is absolutely fair, don't worry," Wayne said.The severity of the patient's condition was evident. Even with a master healer like Lemuel getting invited, Wayne's calm demeanor suggested that the case was particularly challenging.…It was two in the morning when Felix returned home. He had taken off the Shadow Mask before he entered his house. Melissa, who had been waiting, threw herself into his arms. "Felix! I'm so sorry!"Felix smiled and comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay. No matter what happens next time, tell me the truth, okay?"Melissa wiped away her tears. Her fear was evident in her eyes. "It's not like that. He was always by my side. I didn't dare to tell you the truth."As she said this, Felix's expression turned solemn. "Who brought you to the auction?"If the root o
Felix almost turned around out of pure instinct. Who wouldn't react when someone called the name they had their whole life? Fortunately, Felix recognized that this was Aiden's voice, so he held back.His strong willpower allowed him to control his impulses and resume his movements, at least on the surface, without any signs of hesitation."Did you see Felix somewhere, Aiden?" Asher asked in confusion.Aiden shook his head with a smile. "I must've been mistaken."This time, the meeting place was actually the same auction hall they had been to before. Felix was still feeling a little uneasy after sitting down.After his strength improved, his wariness toward Aiden began to decrease. However, this time, it instantly shot back up to an even more exaggerated level.Calling Felix's name to test his reaction meant Aiden believed this "middle-aged man" was Felix somehow. Although he wasn't fully certain, the situation was terrifying enough.Soon, everyone gathered. Felix saw Craig from
