Felix could barely hold back his frustration. If it weren't for the presence of Ernest and others inside, he might have shouted.

"You old geezer, do I even have your contact information? How was I supposed to report to you?"

Gerald's shameless behavior was something he was well acquainted with. The voice on the other end sounded as nonchalant as ever. "So, you succeeded then! Doesn't it feel wonderful to break through and rebuild yourself?"

Felix had to admit it was true.

"Yes," he replied simply.

"Now that your strength has advanced to the Innate Realm, don't go bothering your fellow apprentices anymore, understand?"

Felix had expected this. The thrill of being able to rely on his fellow apprentices' resources over the past month was clearly short-lived.

"Understood. However, there's one more thing I would like to report, Mr. Hoffman. It's about the Shadowdragon Warlord."

After Felix was done explaining, he could hear Gerald's voice lower in tone.

"That old coot is still as stubborn as ever. However, given his formidable strength, why would he suddenly fall ill? On top of that, he's about to lose his life. Since they've invited you, go have a look." Since Gerald chose not to elaborate on their past grievances, Felix wouldn't dare pry further. There was no point in asking if he wouldn't get an answer.

"Oh, and about Madam Spring. She came to see me last time, and she left something inside.

Before he could finish, Gerald cut him off.

"Huh? Did someone knock me off the top of the diamond leaderboard? How dare they! I need to buy another million diamonds. The first place is my spot! Well, Felix, I'm a little busy, so I'll hang up now."

Felix's expression darkened. The moment he brought up Madam Spring, Gerald not only changed the subject but hung up right after. He strongly suspected that his mentor had known all along when Madam Spring went to him.

If not for that incident, he wouldn't have had to try to rekindle things with Xena.

Around 11:00 pm, Felix stepped off a military helicopter. To be honest, he had no idea where they were. Although the moonlight was faint, his eyesight was sharp enough to see that the surroundings were lush and scenic, with genuine natural beauty.

Nearby, a tranquil lake lay still, reflecting the gentle caress of the moonlight. The water was crystal clear, which was a rare sight indeed. Beside the lake was a wooden house; one could imagine how peaceful it would be to live there, basking in nature's splendor every day. "Let's go. That's where the Shadowdragon Warlord resides."

Nodding, Felix followed Ernest and Isaac as they walked forward. Before they reached the door, it opened, and the person who emerged made Felix frown. Why was she everywhere he went?

It was Nala, and she was alone. She looked equally surprised to see Felix.

"Hello, Mr. Holt Senior and Mr. Holt," she greeted them.

Ernest and Isaac nodded slightly, as if her presence here was entirely expected.

"How is he?" Ernest asked.

Nala shook her head, a flash of sorrow crossing her gaze.

"He still refuses to use the Miracle Card, and we can't locate Dr. Morris. There's been no change in his condition."

Then, she glanced at Felix. "Mr. Holt Senior, can Felix's medical skills even be of any use here?" she asked.

If Ernest and Isaac weren't present, her words would likely have been far sharper.

"At this point, we can only try our best to save that old man. Felix was once an exceptional healer, and his insights might offer a unique perspective." Chapter 484
