Chapter 389

Xena maintained her composure. "It's not him How could it be? You think someone in Felix's condition would be worthy of me?"

She stood to leave. "I'm sorry, but I've worked too hard to get where I am. When the Warlord of the East gives advice, I have to take it."

Xena could not admit Felix was the reason. The first time she met Jaden, he had tried to kill Felix.

Before, there might have been obstacles, but now Felix was just an ordinary person without martial arts skills. For Jaden, killing him would be like crushing an ant. She could not assign 24/7 protection to him, could she?

Besides, Jaden had nearly achieved the level of Martial Emperor. He could literally kill Felix with a flick of his finger. How could she guard against that?

Left alone in the private room, Jaden's expression darkened as he clenched his fists. He felt that he was being toyed with, though Xena had never actually promised him anything.

"This must have something to do with Felix. I won't let you live much longer!" With that thought in mind, he smiled. He could wait a year or two for Xena, but Felix had to be eliminated.

Meanwhile, Felix and Luis arrived at a large repair shop on the outskirts of town.

Though Luis and Larry were brothers, they looked nothing alike. Luis appeared more refined and only brought three men with him. As a major underworld figure in Canraville, he would not normally handle mere car thieves, but he made an exception for Felix. "We're here, Mr. Zeller." After parking, Luis added, "The owner goes by Viper. His crew of petty thieves took your car.

Inside, someone immediately went to report their arrival. Soon, a heavyset man emerged with a fawning face. "Mr. Luis, what brings you here? You could've just called."

Luis cut to the chase, saying, "Save it. Your people stole a Range Rover last night. Show us the car."

Then, he switched back to a respectful smile. "Please follow me, Mr. Luis. The car's untouched, and I assure you, there's not a scratch on the paint. I honestly had no idea, trust me."

"Shut up!"

In the back garage, Felix found his car. After the inspection, he was relieved. It really was undamaged. "You handle the rest. I'm leaving."

Luis smiled and hurriedly said, "Of course, Mr. Zeller. Take care."

As Felix reached for the door, Viper spoke up. "Are you going to leave just like that? That's not how things work in our business. You need to pay. Since you're Mr. Luis' friend, I'll give you a discount. 500 thousand dollars, firm price." What? Felix turned, thinking he had misheard.

Luis was stunned. He had not expected this either. One of his men punched Viper in the gut and grabbed his throat.

"I dare you to say that again! Viper, are you tired of living?" Luis snarled.
