Instead of rushing to beat up Tom, Felix held up his right hand with a silver needle between his fingers. "I don't care whether those five people at the clinic deserved to die or if they made some deal to sacrifice their lives. But you showed absolute disregard for human life, and that deserves consequences. "Once I insert this needle, you'll have constant urges to urinate, even without drinking water. It will be extremely painful each time you pee. There's only one way to fix it, and that's to remove the needle. But if you do that, you'll die." Before Tom could react, the needle was already in the back of his hand. "The choice is yours," Felix said.As Felix walked back into the yard, Tom scoffed. "Who do you think you are? Did you think you could control my body with a mere needle? What an idiot! If you want to play games, that's fine. Let's see if anyone can save you this time." Just as he was about to pull out the needle, Tom's body jerked. An overwhelming urge to urinat

Standing by the car, Hope had changed from her normal clothes into a revealing outfit. She was dressed in black stockings with ultra-short shorts and a black lace crop top. Her loose clothing earlier had hidden it, but now Felix could see she was quite curvy. As she felt his stare, Hope blushed. "I... I thought this might make it easier to get information from the young men in the village. It's better than using money, right?" Felix immediately shut down the idea. "Change back now. You'd cause an instant commotion dressed like that in the village. We're here on a mission, not to attract too much attention." An outfit like that would turn heads even in the city streets, let alone among young villagers. It was asking for trouble. "Oh... right." Finally reaching Pine Valley, they parked and were struck by the view. The houses were uniformly built and remarkably neat, which was likely because of government development plans. With terraced fields stretched along one side, the sight

In one fluid motion, the figure gripped the sheep's head with one hand, its body with the other, and effortlessly tore it in half. Blood poured everywhere as the figure began gulping down the blood and devouring the raw meat. This scene took Felix aback. Even the most ruthless criminals wouldn't consume raw flesh and blood like this. The creature ate with frightening speed and finished the entire sheep in about ten minutes. If not for the blood and wool on the ground, it might have seemed like a dream. "Damn it. I need to see what's really going on here." This horrific scene had piqued Felix's curiosity to the max. Since humans were involved, this definitely needed some investigation. He followed the sheep thief a short distance until they disappeared into a cave, after which all went quiet. At this point, Felix hesitated before reaching for his phone to contact Xena. Despite his abilities, he did not want to risk alerting whatever might be in that cave. The headquarters' spe

At this point, Felix should have been begging for his life, but he wasn't naive. He could see the murderous intent in Reece's eyes. There was no way he would let Felix leave alive. "You could have lived a bit longer, but you made the wrong choice," Felix said.Seeing Felix stand straight with no trace of his earlier fear, Reece immediately understood. "No matter who you are, once you're here, you die!" As he spoke, Reece pressed a button in his pocket, triggering alarms throughout the facility. "Since you're brave enough to sneak in disguised as the chief, you must be quite confident in your abilities. Too bad you still have to die!" A sharp sound cut through the air. Felix tilted his head as six figures emerged and surrounded him. Interestingly, these six wore combat suits similar to the shadowstalker who had committed suicide at his home last night. But they were in purple instead of black. "Shadowstalkers? So Astoria is involved in this, huh?" Reece wasted no time, pointi

Felix focused on Cairo Crest, the man who had jumped from the fighter jet. He had a square face and carried an imposing presence. He was clearly no ordinary person as he radiated such a powerful air. Being able to command a fighter jet meant he had to be with the headquarters. After Aiden whispered something to him, Cairo said, "So you're the Dragon Knight working under the Phoenix Warlord? Come here! I am the Tideborne Warlord." Before Xena, there were the Four Great Warlords—the Shadowdragon Warlord, the Warlord of the East, the Warlord of Thunder, and the Tideborne Warlord. Felix had met the first three; today he faced the last. The Greene family must be so influential to be able to summon even a Warlord. They had clearly come prepared and determined not to let the Frost Crystal slip away. As Felix approached, Cairo spoke again. "Give me the Frost Crystal." Aiden smiled beside him. From his perspective, the Frost Crystal was as good as theirs. How could a mere admiral refu
