Chapter 747
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.

Felix stared in bewilderment at Clement's intense reaction. "What happened?"Suddenly, Clement released his grip and let out a bitter laugh. He said, "Never mind. Perhaps this is my fate. I shouldn't blame others for it."Then, he got into his car and drove away, leaving Felix completely confused but certain something serious had occurred.…At the clinic, Felix could not sit still and finally decided to call Willow. "I wanted to ask about Clement—""Don't bother!" Willow snapped. "Felix, don't contact us anymore. I wanted to yell at you, but Clement is right—sometimes, we have to accept our fate instead of blaming others. "You did save Darcy, and we'll always remember that. Let's leave it at that."The line went dead, and when Felix tried calling back, he discovered he had been blocked. "Damn it!" He slammed his hand on the desk in genuine anger. Willow had been the key to reconciling with Xena, and just when things were looking promising, this mystery situation had erupte

Felix tried calling Ryan but got a "temporarily unavailable" message. He asked Oscar, "Did Tristan mention why he's doing this?Oscar shook his head. "No. He wouldn't budge no matter how much our chairman begged. We finally got this huge loan from Concord Bank and were about to take the company to the next level. Now, it's all falling apart."Felix found it strange. After all, there was no reason to go after Clement if someone wanted to target him. They were merely friendly neighbors during his short time in Gray City, so their connection was not that deep."Did Clement agree to sell?" Felix asked."What choice did we have? The Jacintos are too powerful. Even selling at a low price would at least cover our debts and let us survive. We'll lose everything if we don't sell."Felix finally understood why Clement had been so emotional—Tristan must have said something specifically threatening in private. "When's the contract signing?""Tomorrow morning at the company," Oscar replied.

Tristan sneered with contempt. "Do you actually think a mere card can stop a loan collection? Who do you think you are?"However, Dorian's composure crumbled as he suddenly stood up and grabbed the card, his face filled with shock. "Y-You're a Supreme Black Card holder!"The standards at Concord Bank were incredibly strict. Even if Felix had shown a regular VIP card earlier, no one could access his other credentials without proper authorization. This explained Dorian's astonishment, especially since Felix had only presented a Diamond Card during their last encounter."Is there a problem?" Felix asked calmly.Dorian was terrified. "No problem at all, Mr. Zeller! I promise to execute your orders immediately, regardless of what anyone else says."He was not joking. After all, a Supreme Black Card held immense power. One call to the international headquarters could get the Dragonia branch president fired in seconds."Get it done," Felix commanded.As Dorian left, Tristan's express

"I'm sorry, Felix. I was too emotional and believed Tristan's words," Clement apologized.Felix waved his hand dismissively. "No. I should be the one apologizing. My personal grudges ended up affecting you both."It was obvious that everything had been resolved, or these two would not have come to see him."Don't say that! Mr. Yardley told me about the additional 500-million-dollar loan, interest-free this time. I don't know how to thank you enough," Clement said earnestly.The interest on a mere 500-million-dollar loan was nothing compared to earning the favor of a Supreme Black Card holder—anyone in that position could do the math. Felix had planned to reveal things gradually, but at this point, there was no use hiding anymore. After all, Clement and Willow were not foolish. They knew a simple neighborly relationship could not run this deep, though they had not dared to ask. The incident with the Jacinto family had shown them that Felix was far more than just a doctor."Actual

Honestly, Felix was startled by the sudden appearance. Standing before him was a young girl in her teens, wearing pigtails, jeans, and a green T-shirt. While not strikingly beautiful, she embodied cuteness to perfection, especially with her dimples when she smiled and a tiny fang that made her utterly endearing."Who are you?" Felix asked cautiously.The girl maintained her smile and extended her right hand. "You can call me Cynthia. I'm your sister-in-law."Before he could say more, Felix suddenly recalled her opening words. "Wait! Did you just call me brother-in-law?"Cynthia nodded cheerfully. "Yep, you're my brother-in-law! Oh, come on! Do you want Abyssal Surge Sect gone or not? I really want to do something for you!"While puzzled, Felix casually replied, "If I say yes—"Before he could finish, Cynthia vanished, her words and giggles echoing in the air. "Got it!"Though confused, Felix was certain of one thing—Cynthia was incredibly powerful, likely at Blood Realm level

"I had no choice but to leave and await your next instructions! But just minutes after I left, I suddenly sensed an overwhelming smell of blood coming from Abyssal Surge Sect, so I rushed back," Vivian added.She kept taking deep breaths as she spoke, seemingly overwhelmed by the memory of the scene that had left her too shocked to speak normally."It was literally a sea of blood and bodies! The entire Abyssal Surge Sect was dead, not a single survivor! Mr. Zeller, it took me about five minutes to return, but in that incredibly short time, someone powerful enough had completely annihilated this mighty organization."Even their livestock was dead—absolutely no survivors!"Felix immediately jumped to his feet, unable to provide Vivian with an answer. Among those he knew, only his seniors possessed such power.However, he had not contacted any of them, and even if he had, they could not have arrived so quickly. Most importantly, his seniors would never commit such slaughter without l
