Curtis stood up and stretched before saying, "I've only recently recovered, and some of my friends keep inviting me out, so I'm heading out. Xena personally made lunch today, so stay and eat, Felix." "Alright," Felix agreed.

The moment Curtis left, Xena shot an annoyed glare at Felix.

"Don't think that just because my grandfather said we're in a relationship, you can ask me to do anything," she spat out.

Felix spread his hands nonchalantly. "Relax. I'm not interested in you. I just need to get through this month."

"You!"

Xena's body trembled with anger. She was the dream girl of countless men, and yet here Felix was, saying he had no interest. It felt like an insult.

"Are you eating or not? If not, you can leave," Xena said.

With a wave of his hand, Felix turned to leave. He wasn't about to waste his energy interacting with Xena. Since they both disliked each other, he figured that for the next month, he would just put up with it for Curtis' sake. Although the engagement wasn't officially canceled, at least there was now a clear path ahead. It was better than the uncertainty he had faced before.

As soon as Felix left, Vivian appeared. She was waiting nearby for him.

"Vivian, there's nothing much left for me to do here. You're free to move about as you please from now on."

Reluctantly, Vivian said, "Felix, the Dragon Lord... Yale informed me that he'll meet you tomorrow night."

As the deputy chief of the Earthen Hall under Dragon Alliance, Vivian calling Yale by his name was enough to make it clear that she held little respect for Yale.

"Got it," Felix replied calmly.

After dealing with Yale tomorrow night, Felix knew he would finally feel unburdened. Then, it would be time to think about his future

There was still room for growth in both his medical skills and martial arts, but his progress was stalled by an unblocked meridian within his body. However, he could sense that it wouldn't take much longer to break through.

Chapter 304

After Vivian left, Felix decided to walk to Kane's courtyard instead of taking a cab. That place was now his home..

As he crossed a narrow alley, a tall young man approached. The man was enormous, nearly six feet tall. He wore a black tank top that accentuated his exaggerated muscles.

Just as they were about to pass each other, the young man suddenly threw a punch toward Felix's stomach.

The attack came so unexpectedly that most people wouldn't have been able to react in time, but Felix dodged it with ease and frowned.

"Are you out of your mind?" Felix shouted.

The

young man, looking agitated, didn't respond and swung another punch. This time, Felix caught the man's wrist mid-swing. "Looks like you really are crazy."

Just as Felix was about to kick him, the young man blurted out, "Please! Just let me hit you once! Just one punch!"

Felix's expression turned strange. He had never encountered someone like this before. It was as if the man was addicted to something.

"And why should I let you punch me?"

Feeling the pain in his wrist, the young man realized he wasn't Felix's match, but he continued pleading.

"Please! If I land just one punch on you, a mentor promised to teach me martial arts. My dream is to learn martial arts, and I've finally been given a chance. I beg you to help me! You don't look like an ordinary person. One punch won't hurt you. Squinting, Felix's grip on the man's wrist shifted slightly, and he took the opportunity to feel the man's pulse.

Initially, Felix thought the young man was just crazy. But now, something felt odd. With a quick pulse reading, he indeed found the problem.

"Kid, you're about to die," Felix revealed.
