After Calum finished speaking, he turned to Giovanni. "Giovanni, I've never asked you for anything as one of your former mentors. Felix has not harmed anyone or insulted the Saphira family. Let him go," Calum said. Giovanni sighed but shook his head. "If this was a few minutes ago, I might have agreed, but now it's impossible. You should know that the authority of the Saphira family is unquestionable. "Take him away!"

At this point, Felix was getting frustrated. All he had come to do was speak a few words, but they were pushing things too far. He didn't want to make an enemy of the Saphira family, but that didn't mean he was afraid of them.

Xerxes, still trying to hold back his laughter, had already guessed that Felix wasn't from Meadowspring. However, it no longer mattered. Once someone crossed the Saphira family, there was only one outcome, regardless of whoever they were.

The large man who served Pearly also smirked slightly. His employer's prediction had been spot on. Felix's death would likely help her vent some of the frustration that had been building from the Silver Flute's interference.

Just as Felix was about to release energy from the Innate Realm, a voice suddenly rang out. "Is that you, Felix?"

Felix turned, surprised to see the person who had just called his name. It was Kennedy, who was present during the destruction of Crimson Sage Sect. He was initially going to protect Jaden, but he ended up switching sides. He was wearing a blue suit, indicating his affiliation with the Saphira family.

"Uncle Kennedy!" Giovanni and the other Saphira family members present quickly bowed respectfully to Kennedy, indicating his considerable status.

"What's this? Do you want to protect Calum of Meadowspring?" Kennedy asked.

Seeing that Kennedy was a familiar face, Felix nodded. "Yes, can you do me this favor?"

Kennedy smiled. "Of course, I can do that!"

He pointed to Calum. "Let him go, and all his offenses will be forgiven. Let him continue to manage Meadowspring."

Giovanni's expression changed instantly. "Uncle Kennedy, this might not be appropriate."

"Are you talking back to me?"

Fear spread across Giovanni's face, and he immediately fell silent, rushing to untie Calum.

The sudden reversal left the villagers of Meadowspring stunned but overjoyed. After all, Calum had been pardoned.

Meanwhile, Xerxes, who had been eagerly watching the situation unfold, now clenched his teeth in frustration.

This was no joke. Someone with such status in the direct line of the Saphira family actually did Felix a favor. That could only mean one thing-Felix's identity was no ordinary one. Xerxes had unwittingly provoked someone of immense power. If his father found out, he might be beaten to death.

"I'll accept this favor," Felix said, glancing at Kennedy before turning to leave. Although the situation was resolved unexpectedly, the outcome was favorable, and that was all that mattered.

Calum, now freed, was deeply moved. He never imagined that someone like Kennedy would know Felix, let alone do him a favor. This was likely the first time such a thing had happened in the Saphira family.

Humming a tune, Kennedy led the Saphira family members toward the exit. They hadn't gone far when they were stopped by the large man.

"My employer will likely need an explanation, sir.'

Kennedy narrowed his eyes at him, clicking his tongue.

"An explanation? We know you want to use our hands to kill someone. If it were some ordinary person, I wouldn't care, but Felix is not an ordinary person. If your employer has a problem with that, they can bring it up with our higher-ups."

The large man's expression darkened. As Kennedy took another step forward, he added, Kid, know when to stop. Felix may be young, but he has already reached the Innate Realm. "Does your employer really want to provoke such a monstrous genius? It was he who destroyed Crimson Sage Sect. When he gets serious, he's not human!

"At least I've seen enough to know that I won't let the Saphira family make enemies with someone like him over something so trivial."

After Kennedy left, the large man stood there, stunned. Could it be true that Felix had already reached the Innate Realm?

Chapter 499

That night, at Xena's home, Curtis was fuming as he sat on the couch. The doorbell rang again, and he roared in anger. ""Turn it off!"

The maid walked over helplessly. This thing had rung at least a dozen times, and it was really starting to drive her mad.

As soon as she disabled it, the doorbell rang again in no time.

Curtis rushed over and answered the call, shouting. "Felix! If you dare to do this again, I'll call the police!"

It was Felix, standing at the gate and repeatedly pressing the doorbell.

"Mr. Summers Senior, just let me come in and see you. I promise I won't show up again after this. If you don't let me in, I'll keep pressing the doorbell."

After a moment's hesitation, Curtis opened the gate and walked out. He pointed at Felix, who had just stepped into the yard.

"Stay right there! Just seeing you makes me sick. If you have anything to say, spit it out quickly!"

Ever since the kidnapping incident, he had developed an extreme dislike for Felix. His fear of death during that time, combined with Felix's previously arrogant attitude, only made him more infuriated. Honestly, he never expected Felix to have the nerve to come back and find him.

"This is a friend of mine. I came here to introduce disguise techniques in Dragonia to you," Felix said, not wasting time.

Curtis, who had a granddaughter involved in extraordinary matters, was no stranger to the world of martial artists.

"I'm not interested. What? Are you trying to say that the person who kidnapped me that day wasn't you, but someone deliberately disguised as you?" Curtis scoffed.

"That's correct," Felix replied, knowing that Curtis wasn't in the mood to chat.

He gestured with his right hand, signaling the young man standing beside him. The young man swiftly tore something at his neck and transformed into an old man. He was none other than Seven from Flair. Curtis was left speechless. He had just watched an ordinary young man of Felix's age suddenly turn into an old man. He wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't seen it with his

own eyes.
