Felix cursed internally, furious at the absurd situation he had landed in. No matter how carefully he had planned, he had never accounted for the irrational jealousy and arrogance of someone like this wealthy heir."Who doesn't have friends of the opposite gender?" Felix thought bitterly. He and Laura had maintained a noticeable distance while walking into the city, and their time together had been brief before splitting up at Harmony Clinic. Yet somehow, someone had decided to make it into a scandal."You've got it all wrong. Laura and I—" Felix began.Before he could finish, the young man cut him off sharply, "Save it! I have no time for your excuses! I, Jared Windson, have made it clear to everyone in North City that no man is allowed to even get close to Laura! And you dare break my rule? Take him away!"Two men grabbed Felix's arms, forcing him to remain still. Confused, Felix frowned. Weren't there rules about no fighting in the city?"Jared, right? I'm a member of Harmony

The unmistakable energy Felix sensed could not have been wrong. It was the Dragonspine, the final piece he had been searching for, and it was in Martial City.For a brief moment, he almost charged off to pursue it, but he forced himself to calm down. It might have been possible if he were alone, but right now, he was locked in a standoff with Jared. If he revealed his strength recklessly, Felix would have to abandon his Harmony Clinic identity and all the advantages that came with it. Worse, the Dragonspine's owner could be far more powerful than he anticipated. If he failed to take it, he would lose both the Dragonspine and his current foothold in the city.Weighing the pros and cons, Felix reluctantly decided to hold off. At least he now knew the Dragonspine was in Martial City, which meant there would be more opportunities to claim it in the future.Meanwhile, on the second floor of Harmony Clinic, Nellie stood by the window, arms crossed, watching the commotion outside with

Felix had heard about the Top Ten Menaces before from Laura. Those ten people represented the most powerful young talents in Martial City. They were each extraordinary in their own right."What are you going to do about Jared? He's definitely going to keep causing trouble for you," Laura said.He replied, "Don't worry about it. I'll handle it."…Upstairs, Natalie stepped out of the elevator. She was followed by two elderly men, who were bodyguards assigned by Harmony Clinic to protect her. Their presence alone spoke volumes about her status."Well, well! If it isn't my dear Nattie. What brings you back to North City? Do you miss me already?" Nellie greeted her with a sly smile. Natalie's eyes flashed with fear, and she instinctively took a step back. "Please stop joking around. I'd rather not hug you." Quickly, Natalie approached Delilah and greeted her respectfully, "Hello, Madam Goddard."For once, Delilah's face softened with a smile. "Are you having trouble again, littl

The metal roller shutter creaked open, and Felix stepped out of the storefront. Jared smirked upon seeing him. "Well, well, you're not stupid, after all. Coming out on your own saves me the trouble. I was about to make you experience some heat tonight."Not far away, someone stood holding a lit torch, leaving little doubt about their intentions."Jared, I don't believe you'd really dare to act so recklessly," Felix said.Jared sneered with disdain. "You really don't get it, do you? I've got an army of loyal men ready to die at my command. You, a nobody, wouldn't understand."While Martial City appeared to have strict rules, Felix quickly learned that those rules only bound ordinary people. Those with power and connections always found ways to evade them.Take arson, for instance. Jared's people could torch a building and have a scapegoat lined up to take the fall without any consequences."Laura and I are just friends. She already explained this to you, and I've said it more th

"Why are you still standing there? Get lost!" Felix said.Not daring to stay any longer, Jared bowed respectfully and retreated. He knew that staying would only lead to more humiliation."That slap made me like you even more," said Delilah, a smile spreading across her face. The more she looked at Felix, the more satisfied she felt. That decisive slap earlier had truly earned her favor.To her, his actions were akin to alchemy. He knew exactly what to do at every step, acting with precision instead of hesitation. Without such quick thinking and composure, one could never hope to master the art of alchemy at its highest level.Since she had already intervened, the initial two slaps clearly signaled that neither Jared nor his family were worth her time. With that assurance, Felix had no reason to fear or worry anymore."Thank you for coming, Madam Goddard. Please, come inside. I have something I'd like to discuss with you."Felix was well aware that Jared wouldn't let this go easil

Delilah was utterly stunned upon hearing Felix's confession, her mouth agape in disbelief. However, she didn't think that Felix was lying."So, you already know alchemy?"To achieve such speed, there was only one explanation: Felix was already skilled. No matter how exceptional his talent, it wasn't possible to cultivate pills within ten minutes for the first time. Merely understanding the instructions would take at least an hour."Yes."Upon receiving confirmation, Delilah stood up immediately. "Come on. Let's head to Harmony Clinic. If I'm to teach you properly, I need to understand your current skill level."Felix had no reason to refuse. Since he had chosen to trust her, he felt it necessary to reveal some secrets. After all, with Delilah's abilities, harming him would be as easy as lifting a finger, and there was no need for her to beat around the bush.At Harmony Clinic, Felix spent half an hour studying the book Delilah had given him. The book had already been bound to him

It wasn't until the herbs were delivered that Delilah seemed to snap out of some kind of trance. Her gaze flickered with a mix of emotions."You can head inside and start cultivating the pills. Just one successful batch will do.""Understood," Felix affirmed.As the door closed behind him, Delilah's expression shifted repeatedly. It was full of excitement, then tinged with doubt, and then glowed with joy."Three months? That can't be right—"Though she had personally asked to take Felix as her apprentice, if the situation had been reversed, she'd definitely assume he was exaggerating. After all, there's no way to verify claims like that. It wasn't just about how long someone practiced refining. It was about the talent and results they could demonstrate.As the sun rose higher, Delilah sat in deep thought. Suddenly, she heard movement and quickly looked up, seeing Felix step out of the room."You succeeded on your first try?"Felix smiled. "Yes."Was it luck, or was he truly

Half an hour later, in the most luxurious reception room of Harmony Clinic in North City, Natalie helped an elderly man into the room.Though the old man's hair was white, his steps were steady, and his face was lit with a warm smile. His demeanor alone exuded a vitality that many young people could only envy."Is it just you? Where's Delilah?""Please don't be upset, Mr. Earnhart Senior. Madam Goddard is handling an urgent matter," Nellie said respectfully. Her tone was humble, as she was addressing Bern, the top alchemist of Martial City. She didn't dare show even a hint of disrespect. It would be far too inappropriate.Besides, in all of Martial City, only a handful of people dared to call Delilah by her first name, and Bern was one of them."What could that woman possibly be doing that's more important than meeting me?" Bern's smile faded, replaced by a clear look of displeasure. Natalie quickly tried to calm him."Grandpa, maybe Madam Goddard really does have something very
