Felix's expression turned a little strange. Could the security guard be one of those legendary hidden characters he only heard about in stories?

"What kind of opportunity are you offering, sir?" Felix asked.

The next moment, an overwhelming aura enveloped Felix.

"If you can casually donate ten million dollars, you must already be aware of the existence of Dragonia's most mysterious martial artists! I happen to be one of the top mentors among them. If you take me as your mentor, I'll teach you martial arts. Wouldn't that be the best?"

Felix was truly stunned. This seemingly ordinary security guard turned out to be a Martial Saint-level expert. No matter how far they had fallen, figures of this caliber shouldn't end up as mere gatekeepers.

"There's no need, sir. I'm actually a martial artist myself."

The older man frowned slightly but didn't push further.

"Fair enough. It seems fate isn't on our side. Young man, doing good deeds may not bring immediate results, but everything will come back to you eventually. Keep it up."

As the guard turned to leave, Felix suddenly thought of something.

"Actually, sir, if you don't mind, I'd like to learn your technique for concealing your aura."

When Felix first arrived, he had spoken with the security guard at close range. Yet, as a super-strong practitioner in the Pulse Realm, he hadn't sensed that the guard was a Martial Saint. That alone proved the guard's concealment technique was extraordinarily rare.

If the man hadn't revealed himself, Felix would never have known.

The guard's lips twitched, and a flash of astonishment crossed his eyes.

"Well, well! You've already figured out I'm a Martial Saint. That must mean your own strength is at least at the Innate Realm. At your age, that's extraordinary. You're truly a martial genius! Ha, and here I was showing off."

Felix clasped his hands respectfully. "Forgive me if I've offended you, sir."

The older man burst out laughing, clearly pleased.

"Someday, you'll hold the highest position in Dragonia. It'd be my honor to aid someone Hike you. That said, the concealment technique isn't in my possession. It's with my

estranged son. If you want it, you'll have to find him. I'll give you his details.

"But there's one condition-you can't take it by force. He must willingly hand it over."

Felix was deeply grateful. Obtaining such a teclinique would be a game-changer. "Thank you, sir."

With the information in hand, Felix wasn't in a rush. First, he headed to the car dealership. As usual, he chose a Range Rover as it was what he was used to driving. Given his plans to move into a villa, driving a luxury car worth over a million dollars seemed fitting. Just as he stepped out of the cab and walked a short distance, Nelly ran over to him.

"Felix? Are you here to buy a car?"

Felix smiled. "Yep, what about you?"

"Oh, one of my best friends works here as a sales rep. She's got the afternoon off, and we planned to hang out. Since I had some free time, I came here to wait for her to get off work.

When he saw the look in Nelly's eyes, Felix knew what she was thinking and spoke up.

"It doesn't matter who I buy from. Since you've got a friend here, have her assist me."

Nelly was beyond grateful. Even though sales roles varied across industries, they shared a lot of similarities, and she understood her friend's struggles all too well.

"Thank you so much, Felix."

Just as she finished speaking, another familiar face approached them. It was his neighbor, Queenie. "Felix? Are you here to buy a car too?"

Ever since their meal with Willow, they had grown closer, so they addressed each other less formally.
