Chapter 110

Author: Dreamy Fire
The sun rose. Felix had finished his morning routine and was pacing back and forth in his room.

He was debating whether he should approach Warren and seek forgiveness. Hugo's troubling actions toward Warren weighed heavily on Felix's conscience.

He remembered clearly from his childhood that even Matthew had said more than once that Warren had a straightforward personality and would never let himself be taken advantage of. Yet now, because of him, Warren was trampled by Hugo and didn't dare say a word.

Even though Felix had already dealt with Hugo, and Hugo's time was running out, he couldn't openly acknowledge it.

Just then, Kane's call came through. "Mr. Zeller, I've found out that Warren left early this morning and is at the office of Concord Bank's deputy manager."

Unable to contact Warren directly, Felix had asked Kane to find out.

"Got it." After hanging up, Felix made up his mind and drove to Concord Bank.

Half an hour later, in the office of Concord Bank's deputy manag

    Alex was terrified. He immediately shouted at Warren, "Warren! Are you out of your mind? How dare you speak to Mr. Zeller like that? You're the one who should get out!"Then, he hurried over to Felix, his attitude groveling. "I'm really sorry, Mr. Zeller. This is one of my clients. Please don't mind him."However, Felix only looked at Warren. His eyes were full of guilt. "I'm really sorry, Uncle Warren. I'll wait for you outside. I owe you an explanation."After saying this, Felix turned and walked out, leaving Alex standing there, dumbfounded.Uncle Warren? Felix, the holder of the Supreme Black Card, was addressing Warren as "Uncle Warren"? What was going on?"Humph! I'd like to see what kind of explanation you think you can give," Warren muttered.Seeing Warren head for the door, Alex quickly came to his senses and grabbed hold of him. "Warren! Y-You know Mr. Zeller? Why didn't you say so earlier?"Consider your loan approved. No, I'll get you a one-billion-dollar loan right

    Before leaving, Warren added one last condition. "If you can't make this happen, publicly declare that we have nothing to do with each other. Make it a clean break, and don't come near me again."Warren mentioned the partnership on purpose. Stellar Group's visit to Avesburgh and their plan to build a city within a city in the suburbs were genuine. Everyone in the business world knew about that.However, their prestige was unmatched. Ranked tenth in Dragonia, Stellar Group was far beyond Kane's reach. For Felix, it was an impossible task.Warren's real aim was to sever ties with Felix completely to prevent any potential danger to his family in the future.Money was secondary to him. As long as he had enough to get by, it was sufficient.Having accepted the deal, Felix wasted no time and rushed to Kane's place. "Kane, have you heard of Stellar Group?"Kane nodded. "Yes, I've heard of them. They're the tenth-ranked company in Dragonia. You can probably imagine just how significant t

    By late morning the next day, both Xena and Belle were seated in a private dining room at a restaurant in Avesburgh."Milady, according to the intel, the president of Stellar Group was supposed to attend. However, our team at the airport confirmed that only the vice president arrived. Is it still necessary for you to host this lunch?"Xena chuckled. "Don't say that. Stellar Group is ranked tenth in all of Dragonia, and they're investing here in my hometown. As the host, it's only right to treat them to a meal. "Besides, others might not know, but you surely know that Stellar Group is just the smallest of that person's companies."That person? Belle suddenly remembered and immediately smiled."I understand now, milady. You're extending this courtesy more because of that person's influence. Though I must say, Stellar Group's president is quite the mystery. No one even knows their name yet. If you'd let me investigate further, I'm sure we could uncover it."Xena shot her a playfu

    "Felix! Are you blind? Can't you see the car coming?" Belle shouted.Felix's face darkened. "This is a residential area. Even if a car is coming, basic courtesy says the driver should give way to pedestrians. Don't you even know that much?"He was well aware that Belle was intentionally picking a fight. He had seen the car approaching from a distance, but it had suddenly sped up."You're saying I'm the rude one?" Belle laughed incredulously. "Do you think just because you're a martial artist, you can act arrogant and reckless, thinking a speeding car can't kill you?"Felix, clearly uninterested in continuing the argument, glanced at the figure in the back seat of the car. "What is it this time?"Instantly, Belle's irritation hit its peak. "Oh, my God! How can someone be so shameless? Do you really think every time Lady Summers comes to Tabiner Bay, it's to look for you?""It's better if she's not here for me."Felix made his way over to the neighborhood's artificial lake, where

    Belle lost it at once. "How is this possible? Does Felix actually know Mr. Holt Senior? How?"It was utterly outrageous. Ernest held a position of immense significance. Even someone like Xena had to pay him a personal visit, let alone ordinary people."Calm down. It's just fishing. Mr. Holt Senior isn't the type to block off the entire lake for himself. Let's go."Belle felt a bit better after hearing this. Otherwise, she wouldn't know how to process the situation.Before they could get close, Jairo intercepted them. His voice was barely above a whisper, yet the two women could hear him perfectly."Mr. Holt Senior is fishing. No one is allowed to disturb him."Xena's expression shifted slightly. As expected from Ernest's personal bodyguard! Jairo's strength was undeniable, likely on par with her own."Okay. I'll wait here."As time dragged on, Belle's frustration mounted. While she and Xena stood idly by, Felix was happily fishing with Ernest. This was maddening.After over tw

    Since Felix had said it was fine, Kane wouldn't reject Joshua either. "Helping with other matters is fine, but when it comes to winning over the goddess of war, that's all on you.""Don't worry, Lord Kane. I understand that Xena is out of reach, but I'm 80% confident. Anyway, once I successfully join Dragon Alliance, I will definitely remember your kindness," Joshua said.Kane suddenly caught on to a crucial point. "You're one of the people from Stellar Group who came to Avesburgh to invest? You're the vice president?"Joshua smiled. This was exactly the reaction he wanted.Although Dragon Alliance was powerful, Kane was just the deputy chief of Oasis Clinic. Meanwhile, Joshua's position as the vice president of Stellar Group was quite significant."Yes, and I'll also be the project head for the city within a city development."Kane's expression brightened instantly after hearing that."That's great! If you have decision-making power, can you do me a favor? Can we include Veloci

    Yvonne could hardly believe what she had heard. She stared at Felix in disbelief. "Felix! I considered you a friend, and now you want me to strip myself?"How could he ask her to take off her clothes with such righteous conviction? It was truly disappointing.However, Felix was unfazed by her misunderstanding. He stood up and explained, "Trust me. This red wine has been mixed with a substance called Phytarone, a potent aphrodisiac. The formula for Phytarone has long been lost, and the remaining quantities are extremely rare. Do you understand what I'm saying?"Yvonne displayed her disdain as she looked at Felix. As a martial artist, she wouldn't fear him harassing her."Ha! I must say, your story is so ridiculous I almost believe it. Are you going to say that if you don't treat me, I'll end up wanting your body due to the effects of Phytarone?"She wasn't lying. The bottle of wine had indeed been gifted by her best friend—someone she had known for over a decade. There was no way

    "Felix! I'm sorry. I'm really sorry for doubting you. It's my fault. Please save me!" Yvonne cried out. Seeing Yvonne approaching him, Felix sighed in resignation. "I've already told you—Phytarone is extremely potent. Even I can only guarantee treatment in the first few minutes, but now it's too late."Yvonne gritted her teeth. She knew that she was close to losing her rationality, so she made up her mind."If doing it with a man is the only way to save my life, I hope that man is you!"Right then, Yvonne's face turned bright red, and she clung to Felix as if she were an octopus. Her lips wandered clumsily on his face and her hands clutched his.Even though she couldn't control her body, her mind was clear. She was fully aware of everything she was doing at the moment.The fact that Felix could still think straight in this situation was already quite remarkable.In the end, he gave a bitter smile before carrying her.Yvonne was quite beautiful. Whether it was her appearance, f

    The guide said, "This is where the selected contestants rest. The yard is huge and has everything you need. As long as you don't leave this yard, you're free to move around. I'll bring you to your room now."The yard looked huge, with fixtures of bridges and flowing rivers. Felix even passed by a fake mountain. It was large enough for hundreds of people to climb, standing thousands of feet tall and looked quite majestically.No one on Earth or Aquamarinus could have built such a luxurious residence. Felix could even see a bar and massage parlor, showing how indispensable technology was in the universe. His room was luxurious, around 2000 square feet, and was decorated with traditional but modern touches. "This is your room. I'll take my leave now, goodbye." The young man left with a bow. Felix turned around and stood on the patio. Outside his room was a large lake, with even fish swimming inside."A new neighbor? Did you just arrive today?" The sudden voice came from the patio

    Felix arrived at the location of one of Nine Flames, where the guards instantly collapsed, their eyes rolling back as they fainted.By now, darkness had arrived. He walked forward without any hesitation, his right hand touching the flame.There was no need for any special tools. The flame simply vanished, and only Felix knew that it was absorbed in an instant by his Starmark.With the disappearance of the flames, people in many places immediately dropped to their knees.The light that should have lasted throughout the night vanished, and the darkness of Desolated Lands descended almost instantly. Every light went out in an instant.Screams echoed everywhere, and panic spread like wildfire. Even though their loved ones were close by, they couldn't see them with their eyes and could only communicate through voice.Scenes like this were unfolding in many places, even in Cloud City."It's really started," Eira said. She was in Cloud City. Although Luigi was standing on her left, h

    Despite Thiago's murderous glare and overwhelming killing intent, Felix wasn't scared. In fact, it made him smile.Due to the unique trait of the Dragon Rebirth, his opponent had to harbor a true desire to kill him in order for Felix to grow stronger. Otherwise, it would all be meaningless. At least so far, everything was unfolding just as he expected.Meanwhile, Holt was silently praying like crazy as he lay on the ground. The battle had already begun, and his companion had understood his message. This was their only shot, however slim, at killing Felix.As time passed and the afternoon crept past 3:00 pm, his companion started to falter. His attacks were growing sluggish. He hadn't been injured, but he was clearly on the defensive now.Seeing this, Felix completely lost interest. Once his opponent lost the will to kill him, the Dragon Rebirth would no longer grow.Still, the battle wasn't for nothing. He'd made solid progress and was a little closer to becoming a Celestial Realm

    Felix had clearly found Holt's weak spot. These guys were so desperate to extend their lives that they turned the entire Aquamarinus into a breeding ground. Obviously, they were terrified of death. As long as there was even the slightest chance of survival, they'd take it.And sure enough, Holt immediately agreed. He pulled out some kind of device and flew off, clearly contacting his comrades."But even if I agreed," Holt said, "the three of us split up and searched in different directions. Even if they rush over, they won't make it until tomorrow."The fear in his eyes was obvious, so much so that Felix couldn't help but laugh."How interesting," Felix said. "You made a deal with the Ant Queen, right? Couldn't she at least give you something to help you move freely through Desolated Lands at night?"Holt shot him a bitter smile. "The Ant Queen's children—the soldier ants—are born hunters. That instinct can't be erased. And honestly, we've never needed to go out at night anyway."

    Lumen flew out and quickly returned. Felix's expression eased completely, and with a step, he vanished from where he stood."Chasing me was fun last time, huh? Did you think it'd go the same this time?" he asked.When he reappeared, someone was already lying on the ground about ten yards ahead. It was a figure fully shrouded in a gray robe, a man named Holt Bovington.That was Felix holding back. Otherwise, Lumen's previous strike could've shattered Holt's soul on the spot."Felix Zeller? It really is you!" Holt's voice was full of shock. Whatever he'd planned to do was already too late. His soul had taken a devastating blow, and he no longer had the strength to fight."Yeah, it's me. Just like I suspected, you people really aren't all that strong when it comes to soul power."Felix had spared his life because he wanted answers."If you answer a few questions honestly, I'll let you live. Even with your soul badly damaged, I assume someone who knows about Nine Flames and Desolate

    Three months later, deep within a mountain on Aquamarinus, a meeting was taking place. Who would've imagined palace-like structures hidden within the mountain itself?In one of the chambers, a sky-blue dome adorned the ceiling. Beneath it, three figures in gray robes sat cross-legged, their bodies cloaked in shadow. Their faces were completely obscured."I went to see the Ant Queen yesterday. There's definitely something wrong.""Enough with the vague talk. Be specific.""In just three months, the Ant Queen has lost millions of her children. Do you even understand what that means?"The atmosphere shifted as all three took a sharp breath. A long silence followed before one finally spoke, "Perhaps our earlier theory is right. Is someone hunting soldier ants in Desolated Lands at night?""It has to be. How else do you explain millions of casualties? At this rate, we're down to just a million soldier ants across the entire planet. If this keeps up, they'll be wiped out in a month. An

    "I didn't expect you to be a doctor, too. Thanks," Myles said, but then suddenly froze. His mind started racing.Wait a minute! He took down a tiger of True Blood Realm. On top of that, he was extremely skilled in medicine. That could only mean…"You figured out who I am?" Felix asked with a smile, trying to put Myles at ease. Despite that, Myles couldn't hide his fear. "You're Felix Zeller?""That's right. Judging by your reaction, I take it I've become a traitor to The Recovery Association? Or maybe some kind of unforgivable villain?"The air grew a bit awkward, and Myles shot him a strained smile."Not exactly… It's just that you took down the Flame Monarch. That's kind of hard to wrap my head around."His expression shifted again."Actually, everyone's still pretty confused. When we woke up this morning, every city, town, and even the smallest villages received a message. Five days from now, the Flame Monarch is holding a Flame Ceremony."Felix paused, frowning. "What's t

    With Lumen and Indigo attacking and the Infinite Shield defending, Felix held his ground. Occasionally, he cast minor spells that barely consumed any soul power. Even as the monsters surged toward him like a tidal wave, not one of them could so much as scratch him.Feeling the steady stream of energy flooding into him, Felix grinned. If things kept going like this, there was a high chance he'd break through to the next major soul realm—Soul Overlord Realm.If he could level up again during the elimination rounds, his odds of winning the whole thing would increase significantly. Especially since Soul Overlord Realm required soul enhancement, it was a whole different league compared to Aetherium Realm.Once he hit Soul Overlord Realm, he was confident he'd be able to go toe-to-toe in a soul battle with the powerful figure who had chased him during dusk.That guy didn't dare appear in Desolated Lands at night, which likely meant his soul wasn't strong. In that case, Felix might actual

    The sun had already begun to set. After fleeing in a panic, Felix had no idea if there was even a single place ahead that could shield him from the coming darkness.A few minutes later, the presence chasing him within his domain disappeared. Logically, the pursuer should've caught up in less than ten minutes, but they gave up. Still, Felix didn't relax for a second. The darkness was about to fall, and that could only mean two things. Either the pursuer wasn't confident they could survive the desolate night themselves, or they assumed there was no flame nearby and Felix was as good as dead.Either way, this was the most dangerous moment yet.After sprinting several more miles, Felix finally stopped. All around him stretched a barren wasteland with no end in sight. Even though he had memorized maps to identify different areas, they were useless now. As darkness swallowed the land, all reference points vanished."Damn it! I guess I'll have to see for myself what the hell comes out i
