"Mr. Hawkins, we've confirmed it. Perry's death was indeed a suicide. Xena went to the site personally," a subordinate reported.

Andrei nodded, setting aside Perry's final letter. He raised his hand, and a tablet was handed to him immediately.

"This is all the information we could gather on Felix. Please take a look."

Time slipped by as Andrei meticulously studied the details for over two hours. He had always been detail-oriented, after all.

"Felix is far from ordinary, as expected. Most of the people in his circle are not ones we can afford to provoke," Andrei remarked.

While they couldn't yet ascertain Felix's full capabilities-aside from Perry's mention of him being a martial artist-the connections within his circle told a different story.

"Yes, Mr. Hawkins. That was my conclusion as well. Are we still going to proceed against Felix?"

Andrei nodded again. "Of course. A promise is a promise. I'll keep at it until I reach my limits. If there's truly no way forward, only then will I let go. But before dealing with Felix, let's always be extra careful. Better safe than sorry.

As the sun rose, Felix arrived in the rear courtyard of Yardley Dining. He was meeting Vivian there.

"What brings you here?" Felix asked.

He greeted her with a nod. He had asked her to send the Vanguard Legion to Canraville to guard the restaurant's courtyard for a week. He planned to refine the Dragonspine technique during that time and needed absolute solitude. Vivian smiled. "Of course, I'll oversee it myself if you ask for something."

Felix shook his head knowingly. He understood Vivian's intentions without her having to say much.

"How are things going with Dragon Alliance?" Felix asked.

Vivian reported, "With the full support of the two Vice Leaders, there are still a few that are still not satisfied, but they don't dare speak up. Don't worry, Felix. I'll convince them in no time."

Dragon Alliance was powerful, after all. Yale had already reached the Martial God level, and the two Vice Leaders were equally powerful, although none of them were stronger than

Felix.

When they arrived at the spot, the grave was gone. There was just a massive pit. A flicker of joy crossed Felix's gaze as he sensed the Dragonspine spirit within. Of course, no matter how bold Larry might be, he wouldn't dare renege on their deal. "Stay on guard."

With that, Felix leaped into the pit while Vivian stood watch nearby.

The guards she had brought with her were indeed formidable. They could hold their own even against a Martial God. Unless a Martial Saint came along-but with so few of them in Dragonia, mostly elderly figures unlikely to meddle-the guards were prepared for any threat.

"Who is it?" Vivian suddenly asked, sensing something was amiss. She glanced sharply toward a spot nearby.

Almost simultaneously, Felix sprang from the pit, his expression dark with frustration. He had barely begun refining the technique when the intrusion had forced him out.

"Felix! This is our first time meeting, and I hope I've made quite the impression. Haha!"

A voice echoed, seeming to come from every direction, making it impossible to pinpoint its origin.

"Are you all right?" Felix asked, rushing to Vivian's side. She was struggling to stay upright, with blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

"I'm sorry, Felix. I... I couldn't even catch a glimpse of where they were.

The other members of Dragon Alliance were also injured and temporarily incapacitated. This showed how strong the intruder was.

Just as Felix frowned and was about to speak, he noticed a slip of paper tucked in Vivian's hair.

After taking it out and unfolding it, his expression shifted.

"The Elders' Council? What is this supposed to mean?"
