Chapter 1763
At the end of the day, it all boiled down to status. The only reason Forrest dared to act boldly around Arlo was because of the Rowe family's position in Utren."Is there really no way to talk this out?" Arlo frowned, hesitant to make a move. The guy Forrest brought along was clearly no pushover. If things went south, Arlo might not come out on top. And if a fight did break out, that'd mean officially going up against the Rowe family, which would have serious consequences.At that point, unless Tasha herself stepped in, it was unlikely anyone could get Felix out of this unscathed.Suddenly, a voice rang out just in time, "If anyone dares lay a finger on Dr. Zeller, I'll snap their arm clean off."The words had barely landed when a middle-aged man with a small mustache appeared by Felix's side.He looked fairly ordinary, except for the striking white gloves on his hands. Those definitely stood out. Felix didn't recognize the man, but the way he spoke, it didn't sound like he was

The agreed meeting place was a park in Utren. After parking the car, Felix and Arlo walked in on foot.Since Arlo had some pent-up frustration to let out today, he didn't bring any of his men. Besides, if he couldn't handle the situation himself, having more guys along wouldn't change a thing.Zedekiah was already waiting by the lakeside pavilion. When he saw Felix and realized he wasn't alone, his eyes narrowed slightly."Mr. Newman? I'm not seeing things, am I?" Zedekiah grinned. "I didn't think you really had him backing you. You actually managed to get him here."He had barely finished talking when Arlo kicked at him without saying a word. He wasn't in the mood for any useless chatter. In fact, seeing it was only one person made him even more annoyed. He had been expecting more of a challenge. Beating up one nobody wasn't even satisfying.Of course, Zedekiah wasn't a match for Arlo. However, his face still carried a calm, indifferent look, like that kick wasn't going to land o

"See, Zaria? Felix is totally stunned," Katie said.Zaria smiled as she fed the last bite to Katie, then stood up."Alright, get some rest. I'll come visit you another day. I've got a few things to take care of.""You have to come more often, Zaria!" Katie said sweetly.Forcing a smile, Felix walked Zaria to the door. However, the moment it shut behind them, he coldly asked, "What are you trying to pull? I already agreed to your terms!"Zaria's smile disappeared, too. "Why are you so nervous? I just came to remind you not to try anything funny. No matter where you run, Black Widow Society will find you. And don't forget that you've still got a sister."It was an open threat. Felix didn't even have the strength to resist."I already gave you my word, and I won't break it. There's no need to toy with me like this! And why the hell did you pretend to be my girlfriend? What am I supposed to say if my sister brings it up later?"Zaria pouted. "Easy. Just say we broke up. Anyway, som

"Do I even have the right to choose or think this through, ma'am?" Felix shot back.In a flash, Zaria disappeared and reappeared right in front of Felix, her hand gripping his throat."'Ma'am'? Do I look old to you? I already took off my veil. Have you ever seen a 'ma'am' as young and beautiful as me?"Seriously? That was what she was mad about?Felix coughed a few times, immediately switching to flattery. "It's just a figure of speech! Really! You're so gorgeous that no one would ever call you that. If a kid who just learned how to talk saw you, they'd definitely call you 'miss,' instead of something old like 'lady.'"That line clearly worked, as Zaria seemed to enjoy the compliment."Now that's more like it. Anyway, if anything comes up, I'll be back for you."With that, she vanished again. Felix finally let out a long sigh. No matter what, he'd made it through this round. As for the formula she wanted, he honestly didn't care. No matter how valuable it was, survival came fi

When that scene unfolded, both Arlo and Pedro felt their hearts leap into their throats. They truly believed they were seconds away from death.Even someone as strong as Arlo knew there was no chance of winning in a fight after seeing the power that woman gave off.Yet, Felix didn't show the slightest trace of fear. There wasn't even a flicker in his eyes or a change in expression. He simply stared straight at the woman."If you wanted to kill us, you would've done it already. Why bother with all this talking? That's not Black Widow Society's style. As far as I see it, I'm much more valuable to you alive than dead."The woman's lips curled into a faint smile when she heard that. "I admit, I'm a little surprised that someone your age can stay calm in my presence."She let Felix go and waved at Arlo and Pedro. "You two, wait upstairs."They didn't dare refuse and quickly left. Given how things were unfolding, it seemed like there was still room for negotiation.Once they were gone

After thinking for a moment, Felix suddenly spoke up, "Mr. Goff, how did Black Widow Society find out that you gave him the formula?"Pedro replied angrily, "He must have sold me out.""He's dead?""No. He even called me before I got kidnapped, pretending to be all caring and concerned. Guess he felt guilty."Hearing that, Felix had an idea. "That doesn't really line up with Black Widow Society's usual ruthlessness. Why would they leave a loose end like that? Either he holds a special position, or he knows someone important. That's the only explanation."Pedro nodded slowly, starting to understand. "You mean, you want him to introduce us?""Yeah. We're out of options here. Tell him to pass on the message to tell them I'm willing to talk. I'm much more valuable to them alive."Pedro nodded and went into his room. It was a while before he came back out. "It's set. They're coming to my home at 8:00 pm."That soon? It seemed like Black Widow Society was in quite a hurry about somet
