"You'll do it instead?" Averill sized up Zara, silently musing to herself. While Zara was a little ugly, Averill figured all that mattered was if she could save Felix's life. If Zara hadn't shown up, Averill would have done it, even though she cherished her own first time. After all, Felix's life was the most important.However, she had to admit Felix's charm. Zara might not be much to look at, but she was still a woman. Since she volunteered herself, it meant she was at least somewhat willing. What other reason could there be?"Don't get the wrong idea. I-I'm not suggesting anything like that!" Zara stammered, waving her hands as Averill stared at her. She figured that she'd gotten the wrong impression."What do you mean?""I mean, I have a special acupuncture technique that can remove the poison in Felix's body. However, I'd need you to get that other woman out of here first. The poison's coming from her, and if I try to block it, I won't be able to concentrate on the treatment

A woman stepped in gracefully, dressed in a wine-red dress with a high slit. She exuded elegance and beauty."How dare you trespass in the Martial Alliance?" "'Trespass'?" the woman replied with a hint of displeasure. "The guards didn't even detect my presence. How could it be trespassing?"Everyone in the room—except Titus—looked visibly shaken. This was the headquarters of the Martial Alliance, and yet someone had managed to slip in undetected. It was a huge embarrassment.Samuel pointed angrily at Vivian. "Vivian! Your Dragon Alliance is flaunting its strength here. Do you want a war with the Martial Alliance?""How dare you!" The woman raised an eyebrow, and with just a word, Samuel staggered backward a few steps, a muffled thud accompanying his retreat.Even Titus frowned at this sudden display. The newcomer's strength was no joke. Without even lifting a finger, her mere presence had overpowered Samuel."The Dragon Lord's title is not something you're qualified to invoke s

"Oh?" Felix chuckled. After dealing with Inferno Clan, yet another person was targeting him through an assassin organization—probably someone without much sense. The irony was that Flair had been created by Averill, making this whole setup a perfect case of a lamb to the slaughter."Who made the order?" he asked."A man named Pierce Langden. He's from Canraville."Felix raised his hand. "I know who he is. I'll handle this myself."Seven nodded, waiting patiently for Felix's main instructions."It's about the Thirteen Aces, which are Dragonia's S-rank wanted criminals. Find me the twelfth one, Sonny Balcom, code-named 'Circle of Hearts.' Track him down for me."With its intelligence network, Flair's assassin organization was well-equipped to find targets better than most other organizations."Yes, sir."The thought of falling for their trap still bothered Felix immensely. He continued, "You're connected with Shadownet overseas, aren't you?"Seven nodded. "Yes, Mr. Zeller. Do

Felix raised his hand, signaling the Earthen Hall members to stand down as he calmly looked at Theodore, who was now only inches away."No. You're the one who crossed the line," Felix replied. "I respect your loyalty, but that doesn't change anything."Terrified, Andrei quickly intervened, "Theodore, stand down! Don't mess around!"It was no joke. Even the members of the Martial Alliance Council from his family acknowledged that the resurgence of Dragon Alliance was unstoppable. Andrei did not dare to make them his enemies. If anything happened to Felix, his family would undoubtedly abandon him, and someone else would soon take his place as the wealthiest man in Canraville."If anything happens to Mr. Hawkins, I'll kill you," Theodore threatened, his eyes filled with icy determination.Felix merely scoffed at Theodore's threat. In the past, he could have ended his life with a single slap."You're Theodore Walker, right? For that statement alone, your fate is sealed," Felix said

Even Sonny was driven to desperation by Felix's billion-dollar bounty. He probably never imagined that Felix would spend ten billion dollars just to find him. It was such an astronomical sum. Even the people who had successful careers couldn't earn such an amount in a lifetime. Yet, Felix used that amount without hesitation, not for investment but simply to locate a single person. The saying "money made the world go round" had held true across the ages.With such a high reward, many people would go crazy trying to claim it. Even if Sonny could disguise himself and hide in remote mountains, bounty hunters might track him down. So, he had to eliminate the threat at its root.However, Felix remained calm and even laughed. "Really? My weakness? Sonny, you're overestimating yourself."Sonny thought that Felix would not react. "Well, don't be too confident. As I understand it, you're alone right now, but isn't there someone named Jack? He's been your good friend for many years. If he
