Nevertheless, Alistair understood Xena's emotional state. When one's family was involved, all rationalities seemed to go down the drain. Hence, he decided to wait for another opportunity to share his thoughts.

Felix went to Yardley Dining for his four-hour training session the next morning. He noticed Vivian wanting to say something and said, "Am I that scary? Just tell me what's on your mind."

Vivian nodded and explained, "The Martial Alliance asked me to visit them. I'm not sure if it's related to Andrei's situation."

After some thought, Felix responded, "Then, go. Don't let Dragon Alliance appear weak.

When Felix returned home, he found both the gate and the front door wide open, as if someone had broken in. Rushing inside, he was puzzled to find Xena sitting in the living room, her face ashen as if something serious had happened. "Xena, what brings you here?" Felix asked.

Xena stood up and examined him with ice-cold eyes. "Keep acting! Everything ended safely, and now, you're trying to put on another show for me?"

Felix frowned. "What do you mean? I really don't understand what you're talking about."

Xena resisted the urge to slap him and continued, "Didn't you tell Sonny to kill Grandpa last night to save your own life? Felix, you've disappointed me so much!

"They say you never truly know someone, and I thought I understood you, but you've been hiding your true nature all along! Honestly, I should be grateful to Sonny-if he hadn't exposed your true colors, I might've ended up marrying you someday, and now that makes me sick!"

She headed for the door and added, "We're done, Grandpa also agrees to call off the marriage. From now on, we're strangers!"

Felix grabbed her arm, his frown deepening. "Though I really don't understand, something major seems to have happened. Can you explain it to me in detail?"

Xena yanked her arm away, causing Felix to stumble back several steps. "You're quite the actor! Acting like you weren't kidnapped by Sonny last night. How did I never notice how good you were at pretending?"

Curtis had been found at dawn outside a hospital in Canraville. All surveillance cameras had been destroyed, and no one knew who had brought him there. Regardless, he was home now, recovering with no serious injuries.

"I went to Eastern Mountain last night. What do you mean Sonny kidnapped me? You mean the fugitive Sonny?" Felix asked.

Xena laughed bitterly at the mention of Eastern Mountain. No one could understand her pain-finally falling in love with someone, only to be hurt so deeply.

"Fine! Let's see how thick your skin is. You were at Eastern Mountain last night? Do you have proof?"

Sensing the gravity of the situation, Felix pulled out his phone. "Yes. Ryan can vouch for me. I'll call him right now."

When the call connected, Felix quickly asked, "Ryan, didn't we go to Eastern Mountain together last night?"

The response that came through the phone left Felix stunned. "Eastern Mountain? Felix, are you drunk? Why would the two of us go to Eastern Mountain in the middle of the night?
