Chapter 503

Felix's lips curved into a subtle smile, though his words carried a polite tone. "Xena, I wasn't trying to dodge, really. It's just that-"

"Come if you want! I don't care!"

The call ended abruptly with a sharp click. Felix rubbed his nose, chuckling at her short temper. Her promotion clearly came with a proportional rise in her fiery attitude.

Of course, he was going to go. But since this was Xena's domain, he figured he might as well use the opportunity to make her owe him a favor, If she could soften her stance and influence Curtis, things would undoubtedly take a smoother turn. When Feliz arrived at the Wolfie troops' base, Alistair was already waiting at the entrance.

"Where's the wanted criminal?" Felix asked.

"In the infirmary," Alistair replied, hesitating slightly.

Felix raised an eyebrow. "Out with it. What's the issue?"

"Well... someone's already treating him."

Felix tilted his head, intrigued. "Didn't you say your doctor couldn't handle the situation? What happened? Did someone suddenly have a miracle epiphany?"

said you couldn't Alistair shifted uncomfortably under Felix's gaze. "Mr. Zeller, when you make it earlier, I contacted headquarters and informed Lady Summers afterward. But then, when Lady Summers called you, you agreed to come."

Felix couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed. Hoping to move past it, he changed the subject. "So, headquarters sent someone? They got here fast."

Alistair nodded. "Not exactly. There happened to be a doctor already in Canraville, so they dispatched him to us immediately."

As they walked toward the infirmary, Felix asked, "Who is it? Xander? Wesley? Silas?"

"No, none of them. It's a young doctor about your age named Ethan Calhorn. He said he was from Medic's Haven. After examining the patient, he claimed her could treat him."

Felix smiled, his interest piqued. "Medic's Haven, huh? Then it should be fine."

He knew all too well about Medic's Haven, having learned about it from Gerald. It was considered a sacred place in traditional medicine, revered for its dedication to preserving and advancing the art of healing.

Renowned figures like Silas and Wesley had emerged from Medic's Haven, though from different generations. The haven was steeped in tradition, with rules that had been upheld

for years.

Every student who passed the rigorous entrance exams was required to train there for ten years-no exceptions. After that, they had to leave the haven to make their own way.

During their decade of training, students were obligated to leave the haven three times, each stint lasting no less than six months, to travel across Dragonia and provide free medical care. This practice instilled both hands-on experience and a deep sense of responsibility toward humanity.

Felix had always admired the ethos of Medic's Haven, and everything his mentor had shared left him with a favorable impression of its people.

Unlike the haven's strict protocols, Ethan, who facilitated their entry, was far more relaxed. Thanks to him, Felix and Alistair smoothly entered the infirmary.

Inside, Xena was standing quietly, her expression neutral. She glanced briefly at Felix but said nothing, her neutral demeanor giving nothing away.

Twenty minutes later, Ethan finished placing the last of his silver needles and smiled confidently.

"Phoenix Warlord, the patient is stable now.'

Xena nodded slightly. "Thank you, Dr. Calhorn. Your timely arrival was critical This prisoner holds vital information for us.

Ethan's honest demeanor and kind face made him look like the picture of a dependable

doctor.

"You're welcome. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

But before he could leave, Felix spoke up. "Are you sure you're done? Looks to me like you missed a needle."

Ethan's brows furrowed as he turned to Felix. "Are you questioning me?"

"Who else would I be talking to? Unless there's another doctor treating the patient her

If it had been anyone else, Xena would have already scolded them. After all, headquarters had vouched for this person, emphasizing that, as someone from Medic's Haven, their medical skills were beyond question.

But Felix had every right to question them. The situation was far too critical-an injured Super S-rank wanted criminal was lying there. With stakes this high, there was no room for even the slightest mistake. Chapter 504
