Felix's expression was devoid of emotion. "Nala? What does her situation have to do with me?"On the other end of the call, Yvonne was already sobbing. "I'm sorry, Felix! Please, I'm begging you to save Lady Nala. She's abroad and can't handle this on her own. I'm begging you!"But Felix remained indifferent. "I refuse. Yvonne, don't forget—it was that woman who first took away your happiness and then sent you to your death. Is she really worth it?""She is! Without Lady Nala, there wouldn't be me! Fine, I get it. Just help her this once, and I promise to leave Caraville immediately. I won't bother you again, ever."Felix sighed. He knew agreeing now would break Yvonne's heart. But he had no choice—Madam Spring's artifact posed a deadly risk to him. He could only act harshly to completely sever Yvonne's hope. Over time, she would heal and eventually find her own happiness."Fine, I'll go check the situation. But if it's too much, don't blame me for walking away."Time passed, and

"Bones?" Felix frowned, sensing there was more to those words than met the eye. "What does that mean?"Nala looked surprised. The Greene family had sought her out, instructing her to pass along this exact message. If Felix ignored it, she was simply to repeat the same words.She hadn't expected it to actually catch his interest, making the whole situation even stranger."I don't know what it means. Your father, Victor, asked me to tell you," Nala said.Felix studied Nala for a moment before walking away, leaving behind a single comment. "If I figure it out, I'll contact you."As his car headed toward the airport, Felix remained deep in thought. Bones? Did his biological father know something?After all, how could anyone expect him to remember his childhood fascinations? On the surface, the phrase seemed meaningless, like idle chatter. But when "bones" were involved, the implications changed entirely.While mulling it over, his phone buzzed with an incoming call from an unfamil

"Malcolm Crayden?" Felix asked immediately. "Where are you having dinner?"On the other end of the line, Jack chuckled cheerfully. "Why? Thinking of joining us? Sure, that's why I called you. If you come, my chances of closing this deal will skyrocket!"After getting the address, Felix wasted no time heading over. He refrained from saying much to Jack, worried that his emotions might give something away to Malcolm and potentially cause unnecessary trouble.The fact that Malcolm was negotiating with Jack could only mean one thing—it was about Felix. After all, the Crayden family was one of the Eight Great Martial Families. They wouldn't even bat an eye at someone like Wendy or her father, Vincent, let alone sit down with a manager from the Kinsley Group.At a high-end restaurant in Canraville, Jack raised his wine decanter with a grin. "Mr. Crayden, your compliments earlier really hit home for me. I'll drink to that!"Malcolm smiled and nodded, flanked by two stern-looking elderl

A wheelchair was pushed into the room by a middle-aged man with strong features. Though deathly pale, the man in the wheelchair had eyes that radiated terrifying power. A single glance from him made Malcolm tremble. He had only felt this kind of presence from the most powerful elders in his family. Felix, on the other hand, felt a storm of emotions. Blood ties could indeed be mysterious. Even if the man in the wheelchair had not spoken earlier, one look told Felix this was his biological father, Victor Greene. "Malcolm Crayden, you clearly didn't take my last warning seriously. It's quite annoying." Asher Greene followed them in while fixing Malcolm with an icy stare. Composing himself, Malcolm spoke, "Asher, Felix is just a cast-off heir with no ties to the Greene family as far as I'm concerned. Even if you're protecting him, it's because of your personal feelings! "The Greene family may be powerful, but going against the entire Crayden family over your personal wishes seems

"It's up to you whether you want to believe it. I only told you because of your special position." Victor wheeled himself away, leaving Nala standing there stunned. The shock in her eyes only grew stronger with each passing moment. "That's Felix's mother?" Her expression shifted rapidly before she finally left with a bitter smile. …Four days flew by. Felix stayed at home and focused on cultivating the third Dragonspine he had received from Victor. It was a matter of utmost importance. With his current strength, it only took him four days to complete the process. He smiled as he felt the presence of three Dragonspines within him. "I've finally built the foundation Mr. Hoffman spoke of." With three Dragonspines now, there was no need to panic even if something happened to the original one Gerald had marked. He could sense other Dragonspines within a certain range now.As he stretched, Xena called. "Though it's a bit later than what I told you, they've arrived in Canraville. Le
