Chapter 489

On the seventh day, after Felix withdrew the silver needles from Lionel's body, he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Kindly check your body. Your issue's all resolved," Felix said.

In truth, the silver needles were just a diversion. Without the Dragons Destroyer technique, he would have been powerless against the ancient dragon's spine fragment within Lionel's body.

After getting off the bed and stretching his limbs, Lionel's eyes gradually grew brighter. He struck out with a palm, and the door to the wooden house shattered into pieces.

"Not bad. I can feel my old vigor returning! Finally, I don't have to lie in bed like a sickly person waiting for death!" Lionel exclaimed.

As his voice echoed, the elderly man who had been bringing them meals appeared at the door, his face also showing a smile.

"Congratulations on your rebirth, My Lord."

Nearby, Nala also smiled. Her grandfather's recovery made her genuinely happy. Felix was now a secondary matter.

"Felix, how would you like me to thank you? Just say it!" Before Felix could respond, Lionel pointed at Nala with a finger. "How about I give my granddaughter, Nala, to you? She may be arrogant, but you're even more outstanding. You're a good match!" Nala hadn't expected this turn of events. She had been about to speak but instead looked at Felix, which spoke volumes.

"Please, don't joke like that. How could I be worthy of Lady Nala?" Felix replied.

Fury flashed in Nala's eyes, and she stormed out of the wooden house. Felix didn't care much about that and continued, "I came to help you because I admire your contributions to the country. There's no need for any reward." The elderly man smiled more warmly, and Lionel chuckled again.

"Perfect! Strong youths would mean a strong nation. I'm truly relieved to have someone like you in the younger generation."

An hour later, Ernest and Isaac arrived. Seeing that Lionel had fully recovered, they were naturally very pleased. After some conversation, the three men left.

"Nala, do you have feelings for him?" Lionel suddenly asked, standing still and gazing in the distance.

Nala, who had just appeared beside him, shook her head slightly. "No, not really. It's just

that he gives me a very different feeling."

Lionel gently patted Nala on the head, sighing. I know the heavy burdens you carry, but sometimes you can't just go down one path blindly. You have the right to pursue your own happiness. I believe Felix can help you." He frowned, adding, "You've always been wearing that veil. You could have completely captivated that boy if you had taken it off just now."

Nala didn't say anything. She just watched Felix leave, knowing there were things she couldn't explain to her grandfather.

After arriving at Canraville, Ernest invited Felix to a banquet to thank him, but Felix declined.

The moment his phone finally received a signal, he had already promised to dine with Jack and Vanessa. After all, they had been worried when he disappeared for seven days.

"Alas, my poor daughter." After Felix left, Isaac sighed repeatedly, while Ernest looked helpless.

"Yes, when he lost his martial arts powers, all the attention was shifted from him, giving Sherlyn hope. Maybe it's fate that his powers have been restored."

Without needing Felix to explain, they could already guess. After all, many master healers were powerless against Lionel's conditions, yet Felix's medical skills could resolve it. His powers must have been restored at some point. "You know Sherlyn's temperament. Well, we'll take it one step at a time. As a father, I've led so many men, but I can't even manage my own daughter. It's truly pitiful."
