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

Patting Natalie on the head, Bern looked thoroughly pleased. "You're as considerate as always," he said.Just three hours later, as the grandfather and granddaughter duo were engrossed in conversation, the door suddenly opened.Bern's expression shifted instantly. He quickly sent a mental message to Natalie, saying, "Pay attention and act accordingly. Coming out this quickly clearly means she has failed. You know how temperamental Delilah can be. Whatever you do, don't say anything wrong."At that moment, even Bern, who always maintained an air of deference around others, looked visibly nervous. Despite his usual confidence, he had absolutely no composure when dealing with Delilah.However, they soon saw that Delilah wasn't alone. She had brought along a young man.Meanwhile, their unexpected appearance caused Delilah to frown slightly. "You may leave," she said to Felix.Felix immediately complied, "Yes, Madam Goddard."Their mentor-apprentice relationship was still being kept

While Natalie furrowed her brows in thought, Felix's heart sank. The surname "Earnhart" was far too distinctive for him not to make a connection. Moreover, if Atlas was pestering Natalie, it meant they were likely of similar age. Felix had every reason to suspect it was the same guy who had come looking for him in the capital last time."Never mind. That guy is relentless—it's impossible to avoid him anyway," Natalie said firmly.The messenger nodded and vanished. Natalie turned back to Felix, only to be startled by the look on his face.Felix was openly staring at her with a roguish gleam in his eyes, the kind of gaze that made her feel as though she weren't wearing any clothes."Are you deliberately getting close to me, miss? Do you have a little crush on me?" he asked.For a moment, Natalie felt dazed. It was as if she were suddenly speaking to a completely different person."You've got it all wrong," she replied. "I was just asking a casual question."However, Felix's ga

The next day, Delilah entered the private chamber where Felix was staying."Atlas has left," she said.Felix was taken aback. "So quickly?"In the end, he couldn't avoid explaining why he'd holed up in the chamber. It felt wrong to keep hiding it when things had reached this point."It wasn't supposed to happen this fast," Delilah said. "But that old fox, Bern, pulled a move that forced Atlas to leave."She sat down, her eyes filled with a gentle fondness. "Don't you think it's time you told me the real reason you're avoiding Atlas?"Felix had prepared his answer long ago. "To be honest, Madam Goddard, I'm originally from the capital. My mentor noticed my talent for alchemy and sent me here to Martial City to further my skills."Delilah chuckled knowingly. "You sly one! Did you think I couldn't figure that out? It's better to tell the truth. Only then can we truly be mentor and apprentice."Her words didn't surprise Felix. After all, Delilah was a seasoned figure in Martial Cit

Felix would never forget the scene he had watched in the video before. Cordelia, unwilling but resigned, had left him to protect him. Later, he learned some details from Nala, which led to this question.No matter what happened, he still wanted to know more."Why would you ask that?" Delilah shot back.Looking at the intriguing smile on Delilah's face, Felix felt a bit nervous. This new mentor of his was no ordinary person. She was really good at noticing things."Since coming to Martial City, all the powerful people I've encountered have been women, so I started wondering if it's true that women here are more talented?"Delilah laughed at his comment. "Well, you're not entirely wrong. Let me answer your question directly. The most powerful woman in Martial City is known as the Empress. She is the strongest member of the royal family, and you could say she is the most powerful person known in Martial City."Could the Empress be Cordelia?"Thank you, Madam Goddard."Indeed, Mart

Jared gritted his teeth. Even with Delilah there, he couldn't accept what happened. However, he didn't dare to provoke Felix again. He wasn't brave enough to."Hahaha! Just because I'm unable to doesn't mean no one else can't," Jared muttered. His eyes followed Natalie's retreating figure as she left Tranquil Clinic. He slowly picked up his phone. "Mr. Windson, are you planning to use Natalie and her suitors in North City to deal with Felix? But based on what we know, they don't seem to have anything together," the middle-aged man in the front seat said.Glowering at him, Jared sneered. "You know jack shit! Let's not talk about them, but Atlas will definitely come. That man truly inherited the arrogance of the Maximus family. It won't allow him to tolerate any obstacle in his way!" With that, Jared dialed a number—fury in his eyes. It was as though he could already see Felix's terrible end.…Just as the sun was about to set, Felix had finished treating six patients. The cit
Chapter 967
Although Nala had advised him not to wear the Shadow Mask in Martial City, Felix couldn't care less at this critical moment. He wasn't impulsive, acting cautiously. He knew that Martial City was full of powerful people. Who knew whether the guy with the Dragonspine was strong or weak? That was why Felix decided to follow the man—to at least have an idea of who he was. With that, Felix quickly headed out. He moved rather quickly, reaching his top speed, which was barely faster than that of the other man.He could tell that the man was definitely not weak. As they arrived at an alley, Felix stopped. On the other hand, the man didn't move either. However, they both stood where they stopped."You've been chasing me for so long, yet you don't dare to come over?" The voice coming from the alley was sinister. It was a voice that would send chills down anyone's back. Felix remained calm and composed—continuing to hide in the shadows."Hmph! You're hiding in the shadows? Let's see wh
