Chapter 526

Harry, who had been listening intently the entire time, suddenly burst out laughing. "Talk about asking for trouble! Felix, did you really think we hadn't looked into your background?

"Sure, you used to have some influence, and plenty of big shots owed you favors, but what are you now? Just another ordinary doctor. Do you honestly believe everyone is like George, desperately hoping you'll make a comeback? "Maybe you had a shot at that before, but now? That chance is long gone. Besides, even if you did rise back up, do you think you could go against Ethan?

""Ethan works for Ma

and Malcolm is my cousin. By messing with Ethan, you're disrespecting Malcolm. Simply put, you've picked a fight with someone you shouldn't have.

George watched with a cold smirk, knowing everyone who had tried to destroy Felix felt this same confidence. Yet, they all regretted it the next moment.

"Oh? Someone I shouldn't mess with? Are they really that important?" Felix asked casually.

Harry straightened up, puffing out his chest with pride as his eyes narrowed. "With your so-called past connections, you've surely heard of the Eight Great Martial Families, haven't you?"

Ethan shared the same arrogant attitude as he stared at Felix, seemingly hoping the mere mention of this name would terrify him.

"I might have heard of them," Felix replied nonchalantly.

"Might have?" Harry's irritation showed. "You're still trying to act tough at this point?" (1

Felix remained calm and simply pointed behind Harry. "These Eight Great Martial Families you're talking about-are you referring to them?"

Confused, Harry instinctively turned around, wondering why Felix was pointing behind him when he had been talking about himself. His eyes widened at the sight of three people approaching, all wearing distinctive suits green

To others, these newcomers might have just seemed oddly dressed, but Harry knew better. He had recognized their identity immediately.

These people were from the Saphira family, one of the Eight Great Martial Families based

on the outskirts of Canraville.ver, he could not understand why they were here.

"Felix, is someone giving you trouble?" Kennedy, who led the Saphira group, greeted Felix with a friendly smile.

"Just something minor, Kennedy. Are you here for dinner?" Felix replied casually.

"I couldn't care less about the food. We're here specifically to see you."

Harry's face fell at these words, but Ethan, still clueless, coldly looked at the newcomers and said, "You want to stand up for Felix? That's suicide!"

Just as Ethan said that, Harry slapped him across the face. This was no joke-these people were from the Saphira family, equal in status to the other Eight Great Martial Families. How dare Ethan speak to them like that?

"I apologize. My friend is not the brightest bunch. He-" Harry began, but before he could finish, the young man next to Kennedy kicked Ethan, sending him flying.

"If he has issues, fix them," the young man stated coldly.

As Harry's black-suited men started to move, he quickly commanded, "Everyone, stand down!"

Then, he turned to the young man with a dark expression. "Aren't you taking this too far? I showed you respect as fellow members of the Eight Great Martial Families.

"Are you really going to pretend the Crayden family doesn't exist? I can overlook that kick, but stay out of my business with Felix."

The fact that Felix knew the Saphira family, and apparently quite well at that, had caught Harry completely off guard. Now, he understood why Felix had been so confident earlier- his backup was about to arrive. Harry's voice grew even colder, feeling he needed to emphasize his point further. "Or are you willing to spark a war between our families over someone as insignificant as him?"
