Businessmen were still businessmen, after all—they had a lot to consider.

"Yes, Dr. Zeller," Gilbert answered.

As the two left the banquet, only Xena, Jordan, and three members of the Kinsley family remained in the reception room.

"I don't like to beat around the bush. You should understand the benefits of my visit today! You can also amplify these benefits, which can work in reverse," Xena said harshly.

Upon hearing Xena's words, Wendy and the others changed their expressions. They wondered if this was a threat.

However, it was undeniably a fact—if Xena wanted to take action against the Kinsleys, she could do so in the blink of an eye.

"Xena, the Kinsleys have become the wealthiest in Avesburgh. While I can't say they're cunning, they certainly hold their own," Jordan played the role of the peacemaker.

Jordan had known Xena for quite some time. He understood how to navigate the situation.

"You should also understand. After all, Mr. Kinsley Senior was once bedridden and in dan

    When Felix came down with the takeout, he was about to call a car to head home when he suddenly saw Zedekiah approaching him directly. He said, "Mr. Lively? What a coincidence."Zedekiah smiled. "When we meet outside, there's no need to call me Mr. Lively. We'll soon be under the same mentor. Just call me Zedekiah."Then, he pointed to a spot not far away. "Come to my car. I have something I need to discuss with you."Felix politely declined, "Z-Zedekiah, I just packed some food for my sister, and it won't taste good if it gets cold. Could we possibly meet tomorrow at Banilor Clinic to talk?"A flash of displeasure crossed Zedekiah's face as he put his arm around Felix's shoulders. "If I've come to find you personally, it must be urgent. As for the food, that's a minor issue. If you don't want to reheat it, I can have the restaurant prepare a fresh batch."With that arm around him, Felix realized Zedekiah was also a martial artist. Though not extremely powerful, the strength he di

    "A dying person?" Elise asked from across the table, her face grim.She added, "Dr. Zeller, could you be more specific? If you're correct, I'll certainly give you a satisfactory answer, and then we can decide if there's any opportunity for future cooperation."Pedro gave a look, but Felix didn't return to his seat. Instead, he continued, "He has a hidden illness in his lungs that's been there for at least ten years. It has now affected all his internal organs, and I'd say even a miracle couldn't save him. He has three days to live at most. Satisfied?"This revelation changed things, and Pedro's gaze turned cold. He finally realized why Felix was so angry.What was a patient? Someone whose body and mind had already suffered tremendous damage. This was like adding fuel to the fire. Elise stood up and spoke earnestly, "Dr. Zeller, you're absolutely correct, but this truly wasn't my intention. Let him speak for himself."The man in black finally had a chance to speak and immediatel

    The next black-clad man sat down, and Felix began checking his pulse again. Even Pedro wondered what kind of illness Elise had found in these men. Whatever it was, it wouldn't be simple. The entire future of their arrangement depended on this moment. If it didn't go well, there was nothing more Pedro could do.After roughly the same amount of time as before, Felix released the man's wrist, making Pedro curious. He could not help but wonder if Elise's real test was simply about Felix's self-confidence. After all, such a quick pulse reading suggested the condition couldn't be complicated.Felix said, "Ms. Chapman, I'm not sure what your intention is, but I find this rather pointless."Elise smiled. "Why do you say that?"His eyes revealed his exasperation as he replied, "Both men are in perfect health. Forget about serious illnesses—they don't even have a cough or cold. What am I supposed to treat?"This was also beyond Pedro's expectations. What? Both were healthy?The next mome

    Elisa said, "Mr. Goff, please don't say that. I'm new here and will need your help in the future."Smiling, Pedro began the introduction, saying, "This is Felix Zeller, whom I mentioned to you—a rising star in traditional medicine. He's not famous yet, but he definitely has real skill."As they shook hands, Elise smiled at Felix. "If Mr. Goff speaks so highly of you, you must certainly be exceptional, Dr. Zeller.""You're too kind, Ms. Chapman."After the three were seated and the dishes served, the conversation was primarily between Pedro and Elise, with Felix only occasionally contributing. This alone made Elise quite satisfied. Although she needed skilled doctors, it was even better if their personalities were agreeable as well. When they had nearly finished eating, Elise wiped her mouth and turned to Felix. "Dr. Zeller, since you're interested in working with me, I'll be straightforward. While I have complete faith in Mr. Goff, family regulations require me to see proof with

    Felix was a bit confused. He had already given the prescription to Pedro and had explicitly stated that Pedro could use it freely. This basic gesture of gratitude wasn't an issue. But now, what was this about a senior getting involved? Truthfully, he hadn't even known Pedro had a senior.Embarrassment flashed in Pedro's eyes before he continued, "Alas, my senior truly has more natural talent than I. But unfortunately, since entering politics, most of his attention has been focused there. The gap between us used to be enormous, though I've nearly caught up now."Politics? Felix understood perfectly. In any place, the most irresistible thing was power. Regardless of whether you were a man or a woman, once you experienced the taste of power, it was definitely more addictive than gambling or the opposite sex.Felix said, "Mr. Goff, please speak plainly. The kindness you've shown me doesn't require this kind of beating around the bush.""Look at me—outmatched in attitude by someone half

    Just as Zedekiah found himself in a difficult position, Felix walked over to intervene. "Sir, since you've walked into the wrong room, why don't you just leave? Let's not make this a bigger issue."The man was about to slap Felix when he suddenly noticed the phone in Felix's hand, which showed a contact labeled "Arlo Newman" in the address book.Felix continued, "My name is Felix Zeller. I work at Banilor Clinic. Could you do me a favor? You can find me at Banilor Clinic anytime if needed."Hearing the name, the man was shocked. Arlo had recently mentioned taking on someone named Felix Zeller and had instructed all his men to keep an eye out for him and avoid causing any trouble. Combined with the contact list just shown, what more proof did he need?"Yes, yes, I'm sorry. I walked into the wrong room. I'm leaving now. I apologize."If not for Felix's warning glance, the man's attitude would have been a thousand times more dramatic. Not only was Zedekiah shocked, but Clarence's e
