"The Jacobs family? You must really know Yartford inside out. So much so that you can tell who lives at every address you see." Felix joked

Suddenly, Felix froze. "Wait a minute, which Jacobs family are you talking about?"

George shot him a wry smile. "The Jacobs family at the top of the Eight Great Martial Families. Apart from them, there's no other Jacobs family worth remembering."

Felix was stunned. After all, with the Scarlet Thread still in him, he was walking straight into a trap.

"Isn't the top of the Eight Great Martial Families in Yartford the Crayden family?" Felix asked. "Each city only has one family from the Eight Great Martial Families, so how could the Jacobs family and Crayden family both be in Yartford?"

George explained, "You're right, Felix. The Jacobs family in Yartford isn't the main branch. It's just where some of the older members of the family go to retire. It shouldn't really be the case, but the Jacobs family is so powerful that the Crayden family doesn't dare to say anything about them."

Since that place was basically where all the older generation went to retire, it meant that it would be filled with martial arts experts.

Felix found himself in a mental battle. On one hand, the mission with the Scarlet Thread had to be completed. It was tied to Gerald's honor. But on the other hand, he couldn't deny the fact that he had killed Mason, and the Scarlet Thread was still affecting him. George noticed Felix's change in expression. He had been fine initially, but after the mention of the Jacobs family, Felix's mood had turned serious.

"Felix, are you worried about something?" George asked.

At that moment, Felix finally made up his mind. "It's nothing. Let's go.

He figured that the forbidden technique of the Scarlet Thread could only be used by one person, and that same person would be the only one able to sense it. No matter how hard the Jacobs family tried, they wouldn't believe that the killer of Mason would be bold enough to show up at their door.

The odds were high that the person who used the Scarlet Thread technique had already gone out looking for the killer. They couldn't still be at home. That was the confidence Felix had.

When they arrived near the Jacobs family's estate, Felix got out of the car, wanting to avoid George's potential involvement in whatever happened next.

The Jacobs family's residence was located in the city center. According to George, they had

bought a plot of land and built their own Jacobs family branch. The architecture was ancient and elegant, with a distinctly traditional style.

The gate was grand, with three guards on either side. The entrance was still about 50 yards away, with a sign in front that read, "Private Property-No Entry". Clearly, no one was bold enough to try walking through the gate.

Felix stepped past the sign. When he was still quite some distance from the gate, one of the guards approached him.

They were living in the era of social media influencers. Hence, they often had annoying influencers visiting the area doing livestreams.

The guard asked. "Didn't you see the sign? Private Property-No Entry?"

Felix spoke in a low, firm voice. "You invited me using the Miracle Card so that I would come here to visit a patient."

At the mention of the Miracle Card, the guard froze. "My apologies. Please come in!

The guard had a moment of doubt, thinking Felix wasn't the actual miracle doctor. However, the way Felix spoke made him realize there was more to it. He couldn't afford to be disrespectful.

As soon as Felix reached the entrance, several elderly figures came rushing out. Their faces! were marked with age, but they all walked with a powerful, commanding presence-far from the stooped posture one might expect at their age. "Please show the Miracle Card, as usual," Felix said.

Before any of them could speak, Felix had already extended his right hand.

After seeing his confident demeanor, the elderly figures exchanged glances. They all guessed that this young man might be the mysterious apprentice of the legendary miracle doctor.

After all, since the Miracle Card had been used, it was unlikely someone else would have been sent in the miracle doctor's place unless they had a direct relationship with him. Otherwise, the miracle doctor's reputation would be ruined if the treatment failed.
