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
Chapter 963
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

"Lone Paragon!" Although Felix could clearly see that the old man was injured, he activated this technique immediately. This was a battle between life and death!His opponent was strong, so Felix couldn't afford to have a slip-up. The two of them fought, trading blow after blow. The battle was so intense that there was nothing left intact. A few minutes later, the old man felt terrified. Could this young man have a secret technique to increase combat power? He was much stronger than before—could he actually defeat the old man? The old man panicked a little, but he wasn't afraid of losing to Felix. However, because of such a big commotion, although they were far from North City, it would inevitably attract other martial arts masters!"Boy! You've earned my respect! As you've asked before, we should go our separate ways now. How about that?"Felix was annoyed—the old man was injured, and Felix was sure he could wear the old man down quickly. "When did I say that? Old man, you st
Chapter 969
After some thought, Felix finally let up the thought. It was best for him to be cautious when it came to the true Dragonspine. In fact, it was because he was no match for Dickson, and he wouldn't be able to take control of the situation.Despite working at Harmony Clinic together, it meant nothing. Even biological brothers would turn against each other in the face of interests—let alone relationships. Even if Felix mentioned Delilah, he couldn't entirely rely on that fact. As he pondered the thought, the energy of the true Dragonspine soon faded away and he couldn't feel it anymore. All his thoughts were completely dispelled."Don't worry, I won't question you. Go back to the clinic. Even though you're in the Physical Refinement Realm, it's best not to leave the city unless absolutely necessary. "It is even dangerous for me, do you understand?"No questions? Felix felt relieved. Dickson really didn't seem that bad. "Thank you, Mr. Marlow. I'll head back to the clinic first."
