"Felix, this is Zara Morgan. I'm sorry, but Mr. Grayson's watching me closely, so I had to use a new number to contact you," she explained.

Even now, Felix could not understand why Silas had made him make that promise.

"Go ahead. I'm listening," Felix replied calmly

"Well... could you accompany me somewhere tonight? I could go alone, but the place is supposedly haunted at night, and I'm really scared," Zara clarified nervously.

Felix found her excuse rather strange. "Zara, normally, I'd help you with anything, but I

Besides, Ernest was there at that time. If Silas found out about this and came looking for Felix, it would only bring nothing but trouble.

"I know, but you owe me a favor. Surely a man of honor can repay a debt?" Zara countered.

Felix had to admit she had a point, which immediately eased his conscience. "Alright. I'll see you tonight."

"I can't come out easily. Could you buy some protective charms? I heard the ones at Sixview Peak in Canraville are really effective," she requested.

Felix was surprised at how seriously she was treating this matter. Nonetheless, he agreed, "Alright. I'll handle it."

Even though Felix did not believe in ghosts or anything supernatural, he figured he might as well check out Sixview Peak since Zara was being so insistent. Still, he could not help wondering why someone skilled in both medicine and martial arts would be so spooked. Eventually, he brushed it off and treated it as just a girl thing.

Meanwhile, at his own home, Drake was rudely awakened by a phone call. He said, "Oh? That's quick! These imported listening devices are working well. Keep it up!"

After hanging up, Drake leaned back with a smug grin. He muttered, "Going to Sixview Peak for charms? Sorry, but you're going to be disappointed!"

He had resorted to these underhanded tactics after several failed attempts to deal with Felix. He even reached out to Luis, a figure in Canraville's underworld, only to be flatly rejected. Luis had not only refused but warned him that Felix was far more dangerous than he seemed.

After much consideration, Drake bought a villa near Felix's manor and installed surveillance equipment, hoping to gather useful information.

An hour later, Felix was climbing toward Sixview Peak, noting the considerable crowd that justified the location's reputation. Near the entrance, he spotted Drake, who was grinning as if he had been waiting.

Felix tried to ignore him, but Drake approached anyway. "Felix, what a coincidence meeting you here! Is it fate, or are you just walking straight into my hands?".

Felix did not break his stride as he responded, "I already explained things clearly at the hospital. You're out of chances, so watch what you say and do-you won't like the consequences."

Drake's smile widened as Felix passed by. "This is only happening because we're in Dragonia. In Azuria, I could end you with a single word!

"Do you think your little talents let you compete with me for Nancy? You're dreaming!"

Drake continued smugly, "For example, when I say you can't enter Sixview Peak, you can't enter!"

As if on cue, two gatekeepers stepped forward, blocking Felix's path. They stated firmly, Sorry, but you're not welcome at Sixview Peak. Please leave."
