Chapter 113
Author: Dreamy Fire
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

    Yvonne's mind went completely blank; she could hardly believe what she had just heard."That's right—I was the one who prepared that bottle of red wine," her boss said.Upon receiving verbal confirmation, Yvonne was instantly overwhelmed with mixed emotions. She didn't know what to say."What? You have a problem with that?"Upon noticing her boss' tone, Yvonne quickly replied, "No, no! I wouldn't dare! My life is yours, after all. So, of course, I wouldn't have a problem with something like this."Yvonne had once been left destitute, and it was her boss who had taken her in and given her a second chance at life. As such, she was not exaggerating when she said that."Don't overthink it. Felix and I are simply not meant to be, but it's only fair that I give him a little something since he's my fiancé."A woman like you will be utterly unattainable to him in the future. When we finally meet one day, he'll know that he should be content."Yvonne could only take it with a bitter smi

    "You want to pursue Ms. Summers?" Belle asked.Joshua nodded with a serious look. "That's right.""You do know that she's the first goddess of war in Dragonia and the dream girl of most men, right? What makes you think you are qualified to pursue her?"Joshua already had an answer prepared for this question."I'll let you in on something. My uncle is the chief of Dragon Alliance's Lawson Clinic, and I'm not too shabby myself, being the vice president of Stellar Group and all. Is that not good enough?"Belle was slightly taken aback."To be honest, your position as vice president of Stellar Group isn't worth mentioning, but your uncle's position does mean something."As Xena's deputy, needless to say, Belle knew how powerful Dragon Alliance was. That faction was where hidden talents thrived, and being one of the chiefs for Dragon Alliance was quite a feat."Before I help you, you should know something. If you can't even handle the matter, don't think about pursuing her," Belle s

    Felix stood at the entrance of an alley at around 7:00 pm with a confused look.He stood at the location Sasha had given him, but no matter how much he looked around, the place didn't seem like there would be a restaurant there."Felix."In less than a minute, Sasha appeared."Is the restaurant here?" Felix asked.Sasha answered with a smile, "Yes, there's a fondue restaurant here that's been around for years. The food is really good."Fondue? Felix wasn't going to question it. It didn't matter what they ate. He'd be grateful as long as Sasha would stop bothering him.As they turned the corner into the alley, the fragrant aroma of food hit them, instantly increasing his appetite.There was indeed a fondue restaurant nestled in the alley. There was even a line of people waiting to be seated at the entrance."Don't we need to line up?" Felix was puzzled when he saw Sasha walk right in."No need. I've known the owner for a long time and reserved a table ahead of time."The rest

    Felix, hiding behind a tree, frowned. He was a Celestial Realm fighter, while the lady was just an Extreme Mastery martial artist. There was no way she could've discovered where he was. Even if he was also an Extreme Mastery martial artist, he was confident that he'd be undiscoverable, let alone when he was a Celestial Realm fighter. However, the lady was facing Felix's direction. Was it just a coincidence or her attempt to bluff the two young men?"Huh?" One of the young men glanced in the same direction and chuckled coldly. "Are you having hallucinations before you die? How do you figure that someone would show up and save your skin?"Even if there is really someone here, no one would want to poke their nose into your business."The young man had spoken the truth. They were all in the middle of the preliminary rounds, and everyone put their self-interest at the forefront. No one would gain anything by helping out the lady.One of the young men was an Extreme Mastery martial a

    The lady had just run for over 50 feet when her body trembled, and she fell to the forest floor. Felix shook his head. He had no reason to let her off the hook, especially when she tried to kill him a minute ago. He didn't strike because he sensed something darting through the thickets. Judging by its aura, it was an Extreme Mastery demonic beast. Moreover, it was so small that he couldn't even detect what it was. There was simply no way the lady would've made it out of here alive. Felix waited quietly for the demonic beast to attack him. To his surprise, he realized that it had disappeared. Was it because it sensed that he was a force to reckon with?In any case, Felix chose to leave now. The preliminary rounds had just begun, and he already had front-row seats to the flagrant display of individualism. Everything was a scam. Almost every opponent wanted to eliminate the people who came in their way. That was why many principles and codes had to be discarded in this place. O

    A two-headed wolf was pursuing the lady. Based on its terrifying aura, it was as powerful as a Heavenly Realm martial artist. No one knew where Star Alliance had gotten these fearsome demonic beasts. Felix had just slain an Earthly Realm demonic beast, and now he encountered a Heavenly Realm demonic beast. The lady gave him a sympathetic look, hoping he would rescue her, and that was what happened. He sprang into action, charged at the two-headed wolf, and struck it with his fist. The two-headed wolf flew sideways and crashed into a tree trunk. Then, it fell to the ground, quiet and limp. It seemed there was more to the trees than met the eye. Not only did they survive the force behind Felix's attack, but there wasn't even a dent on it. How terrifying. About 50 feet away, the two-headed wolf's flesh swiftly decayed, just like the other demonic beast's had. Obviously, the contestants didn't have to stand next to the demonic beasts they slayed for their Starmarks to absorb th

    If Felix behaved like a scaredy cat in the Rank-Ascending Competition, he would definitely lose it. "Will she take revenge on me if I reject her?" Felix askedJulius chuckled. "Looks like you've made up your mind. Chelsea is a cold and aloof person, and she doesn't really interact with people. However, she isn't so petty that she will bear a grudge against someone just because she was rejected.""That's great, then," Felix thought to himself. He felt bitter too, and it wasn't because of fear. It was just that he had to deal with Star Alliance's arrangement and keep his guard up against the Orion family's shady tricks. Both of these were taxing enough for him. If he had to face Chelsea as well, it would be too much for him. That said, Felix had to give it to Chelsea for being punctual. She showed up at the same time the next day."Have you thought it over?" she asked.Felix responded, "I'm sorry, but I can't reveal my mobility technique to you."Chelsea turned around and le

    The lady must've gotten a screw loose or something. Martial arts practice, combat techniques, and mobility techniques were private secrets that nobody would possibly reveal. How could she just ask for it as if it wasn't a big deal?Fortunately, Felix was patient and good-tempered. Moreover, the authorities had zero tolerance for all forms of fighting at this place. Otherwise, he just might've slapped her right where she stood."Excuse me, but I refused to divulge this information," Felix said.The lady frowned and shot Felix a look as if he was the one who didn't know what was good for him. "You are friends with Julius. That means you probably know that the Orion family intended to take you out of the picture. "The preliminary rounds were the only chance they had to cheat within the boundaries of the rules. Do you actually think you'll be alive to compete in it and prevail? "Just tell me your mobility technique, and I can guarantee that you'll make it through in one piece. But

    There was still a big gap between Felix and the Minotaur after he initiated Lone Paragon, but it would at least give him a fighting chance. "A Celestial Realm Minotaur, huh? Great. You'll be the force that propels me to greater heights."…Three days came and went. Julius and Xenon were in a massage parlor, enjoying its top-notch service. "Geez. It looks like Felix really did go away to cultivate and hone his skills." Julius knew why Xenon said what he said. If a Minotaur had died, blood would streak down the gate of the Prison of Blood. That was usually the telltale sign.When all kinds of realms existed, the gate had never been clean because blood constantly flowed down it. Now, however, it had become a rare phenomenon. They had arranged their men to keep an eye on the gate. Naturally, they were certain that the Minotaurs were still alive and well. "I've finally understood something. Felix came from Earth, the savage planet. It was very impressive how he cut down all ene

    Julius was speechless because Felix didn't seem to be joking—he looked serious."Hey! Are you even listening to me? The lowest level ones in there are Celestial Realm Minotaurs. Are you sure you want to go in and suffer? If you really are killed by Minotaurs, no one will rescue you."Felix laughed. "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. I have techniques that can go against opponents like the Minotaurs. While there's still time, I'll practice well."And just like that, Felix directly entered the Prison of Blood. Julius was speechless. They weren't close, so it wasn't his place to comment. Soon, the news of Felix entering the Prison of Blood spread, and everyone who had arrived here got the news. "Entering the Prison of Blood? Are you trying to prove yourself, or are you trying to pressure me?" Lachlan muttered to himself. His expression was calm, and even his gaze didn't falter."Even if he could really kill Celestial Realm Minotaurs, so what? After all, they're merely beasts wit

    "The Aetherium Realm? With the breakthrough from Aquamarinus, that guy seemed to have the potential to win." Yusri sneered."Hahaha! So what? The preliminary round is going to be his grave. He dared to massacre my bloodline, so even if the Earth was destroyed, what would it have to do with me?"…An hour later, Julius was dragged somewhere in the yard by Felix. "What is this place for? Why didn't the guide tell me about this?" Felix asked.Not far ahead, there stood a huge iron door. Felix didn't know what was inside, but there was a sign hanging above the entrance that read, "The Prison of Blood".Julius smacked his forehead. "I forgot to tell you! I knew you would see this sooner or later, but the Prison of Blood isn't a good place. You should stay far away from it."Felix rolled his eyes and pulled him along. "Do you think this is a good place? Tell me about it."Julius could only helplessly continue, "An elder of Star Alliance created the Prison of Blood. The prisoners ins

    Felix frowned. It seemed like the Orions were really going all out this time."Was it very serious?" he asked.Yusri nodded solemnly. "Yes, they crossed the line this time and are on thin ice with the rules. You should know that the Orions are determined to invade Earth this time. If they lose the competition, they will fall in the rankings. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they're desperate…"With that, Yusri said, "There are many things I can't tell you. Otherwise, I'll be going against the rules. But I wanted to ask, what realm have you reached in your soul cultivation?"Despite coming from the same planet, there was no way Felix could completely trust him. He replied immediately, "The Aetherium Realm."The expression on Yusri's face changed, and then he burst out laughing."The Aetherium Realm! Felix, you're such a surprise. I don't need to ask about your martial strength. I can feel that you've practiced the Dragons Destroyer, which means you've reached Extreme Mas
