Dora had always been a nice person. She was still being polite even after Felix had already told her she could cash in that favor anytime.

"Just tell me. I will help you if I can," Felix said

"Great! There's this VIP who's sick. We heard that whoever can find a doctor to cure him will earn enough rewards to boost my family up a level. We could easily become the second most powerful family in the city."

Her voice quickened with excitement. Clearly, she did not want to miss this chance.

"Someone with your martial arts skills must have serious connections. Could you find us a master healer? They already tried Dr. Fielding, who's ranked tenth in the country. But even he was stumped. I've told you everything, but I wonder if it's too much to ask

Most people, or even the big shots, would lose hope after Xander failed to treat a patient. Getting one master healer did not guarantee access to better ones. Even Xena could not get Brandon to help.

"Sure. Come by my place tomorrow morning," Felix agreed.

Dora was surprised by his quick agreement, but she knew Felix was a man of his word. "Sure! Thank you so much!"

Hanging up, Felix felt a little helpless. It was interesting how she asked him to help find a master healer as a favor.

"Hey!" Jack rapped on the table to get Felix's attention.

"I'm serious about this one! I met her again in Yartford and found out she was also single! She's my college ex-girlfriend. We dated for two years before breaking up."

Felix rolled his eyes. "Bro, you're going back for seconds?"

's wrong with that? The breakup

Jack took a swig of beer, brushing off the teasing. was complicated. We're good together anyway, and we both want this. Yeah, she works in Canraville, but distance isn't an issue. I'm not that busy anyway." Felix did not really care either way. Something caught his eye. He asked, "Is that her?"

A woman in a red dress had walked in. With her hair in twin tails, she gave off a sweet, demure vibe. She looked pretty, too.

"Yep, that's Vanessa," Jack said.

Just then, some drunk guy slapped her butt. Felix instantly got up with a frown, but Jack held him back.

"Don't worry. Nessa wanted to look gentle and make a good first impression on you. But that handsy bastard is about to see her real side"

Real side? Before Felix could wonder what that meant, Vanessa spun into a roundhouse kick that sent the drunk flying out the door. Her sheer force was impressive.

Vanessa barked, "How dare you touch my ass, asshole!"

The drunk's friends scattered in terror. Vanessa smoothed her dress and walked over.

"Nessa, this is my buddy Felix. Felix, this is Vanessa Mayer."

She extended her hand apologetically. "So sorry about that, Felix. I'm not usually like this." Her voice had gone soft and high-pitched, which made Felix speechless. "Look, Vanessa. You've got my support if Jack likes you. There's no need to put on an act," Felix said.

After studying him for a moment, Vanessa suddenly relaxed. She grabbed a beer and popped the cap off with a flick of her wrist.
