Chapter 494

Xena continued, "You can deny it if you want, but the truth speaks for itself. An S-rank fugitive is at least near the level of a Martial King. Even most martial artists wouldn't stand a chance. Yet you took him down effortlessly. Do I need to keep going? "The S-rank fugitive wasn't weak. You're just too strong."

She wasn't wrong. Felix hadn't given it much thought as everything had happened too quickly,

"My strength has indeed recovered," he admitted.

Hearing that, Xena broke into a bright smile. It was a genuine smile that came straight

from the heart.

"All that effort finally paid off. Back then, you gave everything to save those kids. It seems heaven has finally smiled on you."

Standing up, Xena prepared to leave. "Now that your strength is back, your medical skills must be as well. I have nothing to worry about anymore."

Felix hesitated for a moment, then rushed forward and grabbed her hand. "Xena, let's be together!"

Xena looked into his eyes, then slowly pulled her hand away. "Since that day, I've truly fallen for you. I won't deny that. However, here's the problem. If I were to be with you, my grandfather would be absolutely furious. What do you think I should do?" With that, Xena walked away.

Felix slumped onto the couch, feeling powerless and frustrated. "It seems like I'll have to find a way to clear up this misunderstanding with Mr. Summers Senior. Otherwise, none of this will work."

Anyone would find Xena's situation difficult. How could someone pursue their own happiness while ignoring their family's feelings? This was especially so, considering Xena and her grandfather shared such a deep bond.

The next morning, Felix woke up craving tacos and pizza. As he stepped outside, he thought he was seeing things.

A woman in athletic gear and a headband jogged past his porch. That woman was none other than Yvonne. As she stopped by his gate to smile brightly at him, Felix realized it wasn't a dream, "Felix, you're up early," she said.

Felix walked closer, eyeing her curiously. "What are you doing here?"

"Stellar Group has business in this city. I'll probably be staying for a while," Yvonne replied.

Frowning, Felix pressed further. "Did Lady Nala send you here?"

Yvonne nodded. "She did. How did you know?"

After the incident involving the Walsh family, Nala had-given Yvonne her blessing to

choose her own happiness. Since then, Yvonne's spirits had been high. Seeing the man she loved only made her happier.

"Just a guess," Felix said.

Yvonne waved him off with a smile. "Come to my place for lunch. I've been wanting to thank you for what you did last time."

Under different circumstances, Felix would have agreed without hesitation. However, the appearance of Madam Spring left him with no choice. "I'm busy. Maybe another time."

Yvonne's smile faltered as she watched Felix walk away, his figure growing smaller in the distance. A wave of loss washed over her. "Was going to the Walsh family on my behalf not what you really wanted? Or... did I do something wrong again?" Meanwhile, a burly man slowly lowered his binoculars on the rooftop of a high-rise near New Glory. If Felix were there, he would recognize him as the one who had abducted Michelle.

Taking out his phone, the man dialed a number

"Your prediction was spot on, sir. The village chief's grandson did visit Felix, but it's not clear if he'll head to Meadowspring today."

The voice on the other end was raspy, laced with venom. "He'll go, no doubt about it. And when he does, he'll die there."
