Thaddeus smiled. "Just as I expected. Any other reaction would have surprised me."

Xerxes then became curious. He sat down and said, "Dad, I know Mr. Zeller has strong ties to one of the Eight Great Martial Families, the Saphira family. That proved how powerful he is.

"But Polaris is no pushover. They're powerful enough to challenge the middle-ranked families among the Eight Great Martial Families."

Thaddeus nodded and patted Xerxes' head. "You've matured a lot since your encounter with Felix. I'm happy for you, so I'll tell you more! Felix isn't just any ordinary man. The Saphira family aside, he has Dragon Alliance backing him." Dragon Alliance? Xerxes was shocked as he broke out in a cold sweat. He felt wise for having set his ego aside and apologized to Felix immediately back then. If not, he might have been dead by now.

"Doesn't that mean Polaris is asking for trouble by going after Mr. Zeller?"

Thaddeus frowned. "Not necessarily. Polaris has deep roots too. I told you to warn Felix about them for my own reasons because our family's interests are involved. Let's just wait and see."

Meanwhile, Felix arrived at the restaurant where Xena was already seated. "Am I late?"

"No."

Honestly, Felix felt touched. As the Phoenix Warlord, even the head of Medic's Haven would bow to Xena when they met. Yet here she was, waiting early for his sake. She was essentially lowering her status in doing so.

"I know you're wondering why I didn't just contact the head of Medic's Haven since I now have the power to do so, right?" Xena remarked.

Felix felt helpless. "True, but I can handle the trouble I caused myself."

Xena gave him an exasperated look before continuing, "This is Medic's Haven we're talking about. It's good to be confident, but blind confidence is too much! You were too impulsive when you did that right in front of their Law Enforcement Team.

"If I threw my weight around as the Phoenix Warlord, it would cause terrible consequences! Among the Four Great Warlords, the other warlords apart from the Warlord of the East and the Shadowdragon Warlord disapprove of me. They're just waiting to catch me slipping so they can force me to step down.

"I don't have to explain more about that, do I?"

Felix shook his head. Xena's position was not fully secure yet. While she did not have to walk on eggshells, it was close.

Just then, a middle-aged man walked in. Anyone could tell that he was handsome when he was younger. "I can't believe you've arrived earlier than I have, Lady Summers. You really shouldn't."

Xena stood up to make introductions. "It's fine. Let me introduce my friend Felix Zeller. This is Mr. Edmund Fairfax, an elder from Medic's Haven."

During the handshake, Felix showed proper respect for Xena's sake by keeping a humble attitude. "Mr. Fairfax, a pleasure to meet you.

"Hah, the pleasure is mine, Felix. Being friends with the Phoenix Warlord proves you're no ordinary person."

As Xena was about to invite Edmund to sit, he spoke again. "Lady Summer, I'll definitely honor your request since you've mentioned it. There's no need for dinner. I suddenly have an urgent matter to tend to. "I'll take Felix to Medic's Haven the day after tomorrow, and I guarantee everything will be resolved. I'll be leaving now, then!"

While it seemed reasonable to Xena, Felix frowned. After Edmund left, Felix said, Something feels off."
