"Sorry, Nancy. I have an urgent matter to attend to, so I'm heading back now."

Nancy smiled. "I just called out since you hadn't gone far. Take care on your way back."

Her eyes showed no suspicion, so Felix left. What had started as an excuse was now a genuine emergency. Almost immediately after Felix disappeared, someone approached Nancy.

"Cici, who was that?" The one asking the question was Drake, the subject of the students' earlier gossip and the owner of the Porsche.

Nancy's smile vanished instantly. "Are we that close? And how many times have I told you not to call me Cici?"

As Nancy rode away on her scooter, Drake's brows furrowed deeply.

Normally, having frie

of the opposite sex would not be weird. But after pursuing Nancy for so long, this was the first time he had seen her give any man such a genuine smile. Something was definitely off. "Damn it! How dare that guy touch the woman I've got my eyes on? He's asking for trouble!

At New Glory, Felix was relieved to find Ernest at home.

Rather than asking for the phone number right away, Felix explained the situation first. Given Ernest's special position, he would understand the nature of the matter. After listening, Ernest looked troubled.

"Felix, I'll be straight with you. If Xena really abused her position, no one's word would matter. Her rank makes everything all the more sensitive. And with the Disciplinary Affairs Committee making such a public spectacle of taking her away, the word is already out. Who'd dare intervene?"

Ernest pondered, frowning deeper. "Something's odd, though. This isn't normal procedure. An anonymous tip usually leads to a discreet summons for questioning. Why did they make such a show before anything's proven?"

His words made Felix realize something. Nala intended to destroy Xena completely and leave her no room for recovery. "Mr. Holt Senior, could you give me the Shadowdragon Warlord's number?" Ernest nodded before reaching for his phone.

"It's good to ask him since he's probably the only one who could speak up about this. But

since you suspect Nala's involvement, have you considered whether he would protect his granddaughter? After all, this is a legitimate report and not baseless accusations."

Felix took a deep breath. "I don't think he'd be that ruthless, especially since I was the one who saved his life."

That was right. Ernest had forgotten about it. A life debt would carry a profound meaning for anyone. "Use my phone. He won't answer unknown numbers."

Felix did not bother leaving the room to make the call. Ernest was not an outsider to him

anyway.

"Ernest, you know I'm sleeping at this hour. This better be good, or else!" Even when ill, Lionel's sharp tongue never rested, let alone now. "Lord Lionel, it's Felix.

"Haha! Felix! My mood's already better after hearing your voice." From his tone, Lionel seemed unaware of the situation.

Felix wasted no time explaining everything.

"Lord Lionel, can you help with this?"
