Xena and Alistair were already at the scene with numerous Wolfie troops members, having arrived in multiple helicopters.

"Mr. Zeller, we'll take them in for questioning. Thank you for your help," Alistair said.

"Are you feeling suspicious about this incident?" Xena asked.

When Felix nodded, she continued, "Dragonia is vast. Despite Mourning Village's supernatural reputation, there were never any casualties, so previous investigations were merely for show-they found nothing and left. That made sense. With no death, it would surely not get much attention. Felix had to admit that Polaris' strategy was clever. They scared people, but they never crossed the line into actual harm. "Will the Martial Alliance handle this?" Felix inquired.

Xena shook her head firmly and explained, "No. Given the severity of the situation, I've received authorization from headquarters to handle this personally. Anyone from Polaris involved will face the consequences." She added, "We can't let people spread supernatural fears in this day and age.

Félix waved after her, smiling faintly as he turned to head back toward his car. He had not gotten far when Zara came running over with her phone.

"What's wrong?"

"It's Mr. Grayson," she said, handing the phone to him, Her voice dropped to a whisper. "I

I didn't say anything to him! I tried explaining things, but he insisted you take the

Felix sighed. Clearly, Silas did not trust him completely. With no choice, he took the phone and said, "Mr. Grayson, about this-"

Silas interrupted him and explained, "I know. I deliberately sent Zara to Mourning Village. That favor she held over you needed to be repaid, or it would always be there. Now that it's done, there's no reason for you two to interact anymore." ■□,

He believed in addressing issues directly rather than defensively.

"I'm glad you understand," Felix said with relief.

Silas continued, "With Mr. Holt Senior as a witness to your promise, why would I doubt

your word? Your character speaks for itself I'm good enough at reading people to see that.

Felix sensed something off in Silas' tone. "I feel like you're trying to tell me something else, Mr. Grayson. Please be direct."

After a long pause, Silas finally said, "Medic's Haven has sent their enforcement team... and you're their target."
