Chapter 38

Author: Dreamy Fire
They sat there like that for half an hour. Finally, Nattie said, "Alright, now, Warren. Felix was a nice young man. It's a pity that he was too inexperienced and ended up offending someone like Lord Kane. Anyway, we'll just have to wait until tomorrow to see what the situation is."

Warren didn't say a word. His heart was aching terribly. How could he face his old friend, Matthew? What would Matthew be thinking as he looked down on them from above?

At that moment, there was a familiar beeping sound. All three of them looked at the door, as it was the sound of someone entering the password for the digital door lock. However, they were the only ones who knew the password. Who would be pressing it at this hour?

The door opened, and Felix walked in.

Sasha's eyes widened. "Y-You! How can it be?"

She felt as if she was going insane. No one who provoked Kane had ever appeared again. Why would Felix be an exception?

Only Warren rushed over in excitement to hug Felix. "You little scamp

    Kane's eyes narrowed, and he looked quietly at Perry, who stood his ground in defiance. "Really? Then, you can tell Lady Summers to come looking for me." He pointed at Perry and said harshly, "Get out!"At that point, Perry had no choice but to leave with Ted. As soon as they got into their car, Ted began furiously pummeling the back of the seat in front of him. "I can't accept this! Dad, why is Felix so lucky? How can he be a distant relative of Lord Kane? Are we really just going to give up?" He looked at his crippled arm, feeling his rage burn.There was an icy light in Perry's eyes, and he gritted his teeth as he said, "Calm down. I'll find a chance to test the waters with Xena! If we act recklessly and Xena doesn't help us out, everything our family has worked hard for will be ruined!" The Goldwind Chamber of Commerce that Perry had established had only developed to its current scale because many prominent figures had helped him on account of Xena. They hadn't done it fo

    The Lovefruit? That was one of the herbs required for treating Curtis. Felix would never refuse that. "Alright. Send me the address and the time."Finding something was purely based on luck. Expanding connections and money would only increase the chance of finding it.Kane was a good example. He was part of Dragon Alliance, and the Kinsleys could never compare with him in terms of their resources. Despite that, there had still been no news from Kane, even though a night had passed.Conversely, Felix had already indirectly gotten Bluesand from the Kinsleys, and now, they had given him news of the Lovefruit. It really was just luck.…At the Tabiner Bay sales center, Ruth was smoking outside with a woman."Ruth, thank you for introducing two clients to me." The woman's name was Sandra Todd, and she had met Ruth at a bar. The two of them had clicked immediately, and Ruth hadn't cared about the fact that Sandra was just a salesperson at a real estate company."Why are you being so f

    After what happened last night, Ruth disliked Felix even more. He ruined her perfect birthday party, and she was left more terrified than ever.To make matters worse, she received a WhatsApp message from Sasha later that night, saying Felix was fine. It turned out the whole thing was a misunderstanding caused by mistaken identity, which only upset her even more.Thus, when Ruth saw that Sandra's so-called important client was none other than Felix, she couldn't help but speak harshly."Ruth, do you know him?" Sandra asked in surprise but couldn't feel happy about it. Ruth's earlier remarks didn't sound like those of a friend but rather like those of an enemy."Well, we're more than just acquaintances. Since you weren't at the party last night, I'll fill you in on the details. The real culprit is this fellow named Felix!" Ruth replied.Felix frowned. "If you don't want me to slap you in public, you'd better keep your mouth clean." He was wary of Sasha because of Warren, but it was

    "Are... Are you saying that the buyer was the client I passed on to you?" Sandra asked."Yes. It's Mr. Zeller. You must join us for dinner tonight!" Alice replied.Sandra was stunned. She was overwhelmed by the thought of Felix paying 25 million dollars in full. Her eyes reddened, and she almost burst into tears.After snapping back to reality, she rushed out of the sales office and called Ruth."Sandra, what's up?" Ruth answered the call.Sandra was on the verge of a tirade. Losing over a million dollars in commission because Ruth interfered was infuriating. Alice might have appeared to be thanking her, but in reality, she had become the joke of the whole department.However, Ruth's wealthy background and her past assistance to Sandra made it impossible for Sandra to lose her temper. "Ruth, that Felix guy really bought a fully furnished villa from my colleague. He paid 25 million dollars all at once.""No way!" Ruth exclaimed.Sandra could tell from the crack in Ruth's voice j

    Having bought a bunch of daily necessities from the supermarket, Felix began setting up his new villa. It wasn't too much trouble since he was living alone. He had also bought basic condiments and fresh ingredients, planning to cook something at noon.Just then, Kane showed up."Please take a seat. I'll prepare the meal," Felix said.Tears of excitement brimmed in Kane's eyes, and he felt that even if he were to die right then, he would have no regrets. He never thought he'd get to eat Felix's homemade dishes. Even the deputy leader of Dragon Alliance probably didn't get that kind of treatment.In fact, Felix had him come over because he needed to report something.When the food was served, Felix smiled and said, "Have a taste."His cooking skills were no joke. They were honed by the constant pressure from his fellow apprentices during his time at Eden Village."It's delicious! My lord, the food is superb," Kane remarked.Felix started eating, then said, "You can just call me

    Felix blinked in surprise. He didn't expect that Sasha thought his purchase of the villa was linked to selling the porcelain teapot. "Well, it's up to you if you want to think that way." He was unwilling to explain or clarify, as it would likely lead to endless questioning.After the house tour, Warren was quite pleased. Suddenly, he felt a bit unwell.When Warren went to the washroom, Nattie took the opportunity to say, "The gold you gave us back then was worth at most ten million dollars. Now this villa is valued at 25 million dollars. "If I say the extra amount is interest, you probably wouldn't believe it yourself! But in any case, we are fully settled. Do you have any issues with that?"Felix was nearly convinced by Nattie's logic. She talked as if the porcelain teapot belonged to her."Fine. Whatever you say," Felix replied.Nattie then took out a printed document. "I understand you likely don't have the original IOU with you, so just sign this. Otherwise, it's just an e

    As Felix turned around, he saw several security guards dragging someone toward him. The noise earlier was the person being dragged shouting."It doesn't matter who you know! Shut him up. How dare he cause a scene here? He must be out of his mind!" one of the security guards said.Felix furrowed his brows as he recognized the person being dragged. It was Sasha's cousin, Milo. That guy had been quite sarcastic toward him at Warren's birthday party. He didn't understand why Milo was calling out his name now.As Felix was about to ignore the situation and leave, Milo saw him and shouted as if he were a savior, "Felix! He's Felix! He really knows your boss!"The security guards turned their attention to Felix, and one of them promptly inquired, "Sir, do you know our boss?"Felix shook his head. "I have nothing to do with this."Although he didn't know the reason Milo was being treated that way by security, he felt the latter deserved it. After all, he was just as much a troublemaker a

    Felix was well aware that Warren would never lie in his life, so it must have been Sasha who suggested it. However, it didn't matter to him. He could tolerate it as long as it wasn't too much.Besides, he had already promised Wendy he would attend the banquet. The process didn't matter as long as the outcome was right.The scale of the Kinsley family's banquet was impressive, with the venue set at Snowfall Manor near the suburbs. The luxury vehicles along the way indicated that Avesburgh's elites were all attending.As they reached the manor's entrance and got out of the car, Sasha suddenly remembered something. She glanced at Felix. "I left my bag in the car. Could you get it for me?""Why can't you get it yourself?" Felix retorted.Sasha was stunned. She never expected Felix to talk like that. He was just too obnoxious."Do you want us to stand here and argue so others can laugh at us? Or do you want me to tell my dad that you have no sense of chivalry?" she asked.Not wanting

    "Of course, you're right. All the personal assistants of the chiefs always wear the same burgundy clothes. She was most likely sent to create some buzz around Felix. Fortunately, he asked about it just now."Otherwise, when she showed up, we wouldn't have known what was happening," Xenon told Julius.On the other hand, Felix had no idea about all that. He just followed the lady with his head down. However, he noticed how elegant the lady in front of him was, with her burgundy tights and the sway of her hips just at the right rhythm.After arriving in front of a room, the woman stood by the door. "Head right in."Felix entered and found no one inside. Just as he was about to say something, there was a noise and footsteps. Soon, a man wrapped in a towel came out as he dried his hair."Oh, you're here. Come, have a seat."The man appeared to be in his 50s, with well-defined muscles. Felix thought it was someone from Star Alliance and that everyone might be getting private talks like

    Julius and Xenon turned to each other, confused. "No, a name is too little to work with. Even just on your planet, there are too many people with the same name, not to mention the entire universe," they said.Felix knew that he was being vague. "That Yusri, he's like me. He's from Earth, and he once won third in the Rank-Ascending Competition."Julius immediately smiled when he heard this. "Well, that's great then. Not only do we know the Yusri you mentioned, but many people know him!"Xenon sighed. "Yes, Yusri is quite a brilliant person. He was against really strong people during the competition. Otherwise, he would've won that year."So they knew of him. Felix thought about it before deciding that asking wouldn't hurt. "Well, Yusri is now the chief of Star Alliance. He has a bright future ahead," Xenon said. When he realized that Felix might not understand, he added, "In Star Alliance, the Leader is the highest rank. After that, we have the deputy leaders, then the elders.

    It would be a lie if Felix said he wasn't touched. He was actually one of the crowd favorites in the competition. This wasn't something he would've ever dared to think about before.After a few glasses of wine, he followed Julius to the massage parlor. Felix felt truly enlightened when he saw what was there—there were really beautiful women in the parlor, all from different races.Some had wings on their backs, some had elven ears. There really was everyone here. "Do you want a private room, or are we sharing a room?" Julius's eyes shone mischievously, and Felix sighed helplessly."Let's share a room, or do you want a private room?"Julius pouted. "I've been here for several days and feel a little tired. As I've guessed, you're probably the type who loves only one woman in life. So sure, let's share a room. Let's get a triple room."A triple room? Felix didn't ask any more questions. Two women were assigned to their rooms, and their techniques were indeed great. People with thei

    It would be a lie to say that Lachlan wasn't surprised when he saw Felix. As an Orion, of course, he was aware of the entire situation.Felix was sent to Aquamarinus, a planet that was known for its deadliness.Even a genius would most likely die there. However, Felix succeeded in breaking through. Although his strength had been confirmed indirectly, Lachlan didn't take it seriously. He even told his family that there was no need to cheat.As long as he was there, Felix wouldn't be able to pass his level. Felix sneered, but didn't respond. They just met, and they were already mortal enemies. If they had a chance, they would've killed one another. So why should they even attempt to be civil?"Julius, nothing has happened yet, and you're already kissing his ass?" Lachlan laughed mockingly. Felix stayed silent, so Lachlan couldn't be bothered to mock him. Instead, Lachlan turned to Julius, who smiled."I don't need to report everything I do to you, Lachlan. Just worry about yours

    This was something Felix hadn't thought of. The Orions had been too arrogant and thought their people could kill him, but they didn't anticipate the special conditions on Aquamarinus at night. If it wasn't due to that, Felix wasn't sure if he would still be alive now."Why are you telling me this?" Felix asked.Julius looked at him oddly. "My family, the Leachs, are on par with the Orions and developing fast. We don't want any conflicts with you or Earth, so tell me, why wouldn't I make friends with a strong man like you?"Since you can break out of Aquamarinus, you have the qualifications to win. At least for now, the champions of the elimination rounds in the Rank-Ascending Competition are extraordinary people."He continued, "I'm just offering help now. Once you succeed in the future, you can help me, right? I have nothing to lose, so why not try?"Felix understood his reasons. In this case, he was completely alone, and making acquaintances with the Leachs was good."How hard

    As soon as Julius entered, Felix turned on the soundproof barrier and asked impatiently, "How do you know I'm from Earth?"Everyone here was a stranger, and the distance between each of their hometowns was over hundreds of thousands of miles. How could Julius tell where Felix was from so accurately?Julius looked a little helpless. "Your name is Felix, and your elimination match was on Aquamarinus. Of course, I know you're from Earth."Well, that was quite the redundant answer."No, listen to what I have to say."After motioning for Felix to sit down, Julius continued, "In the Rank-Ascending Competition, some people in power can actually cheat within the rules. Have you heard of the Orion family?"Before Felix could answer, Julius had already guessed the answer based on his gaze. "Heh, seems like Earth isn't as barbaric as everyone thought. Since you're familiar with the Orion family, it will make things easier for me."Well, you got the right information. The Orion family is th

    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
