Although the information shocked Warren, he quickly frowned and said, "So what? As Lord

you. Kane's distant relative, he couldn't handle trouble like this and even affected

"This means that Felix has offended someone far more dangerous and beyond our reach! From now on, Felix no longer has anything to do with our family. This might sound irresponsible, but it's for your safety." After he was done speaking, Warren turned and left. Only he knew whether he genuinely intended to cut ties with Felix.

"Mom!" Sasha looked helplessly at Nattie, who was still in the bedroom. Reflecting on Felix's actions, Sasha realized that Felix had never deceived or pretended. All of his past actions were absolutely genuine. Just the fact that he was Kane's relative had enabled him to accomplish things easily. Besides, Felix had saved her twice. She had to marry him-how could she wait for other women to throw themselves into his arms? Nattie said, "Sasha, if Felix really is Lord Kane's relative, then listen to your father. However, I've spoken too harshly, and your father even slapped him. You can only rely on yourself if you want to mend ties.

"Also, don't tell any relatives about this. Or else, they would come up with ways to flatter Felix. The more people there are, the messier this will be.

"Understood? Just tell others that they've cut ties."

Huh? Slapped?

Sasha felt her heart ache. Yet, her confidence was boosted as well-she knew she could win him back. 1

The next morning, Ted carried his items and pretended to visit Saul. Yet, he was informed that Saul had died of a sudden heart attack last night.

An unsettling feeling washed over Ted. He frantically made a few calls. A'reply came after about half an hour.

"Ironhulk has gone missing, along with his comrades."

Ted's face fell as he heard the news. Clearly, Ironhulk had been dealt with by Kane. Ted thought that Ironhulk would dare face Kane head-on since he had abundant weapons and men. Besides, this incident involved Saul, who was Ironhulk's son. Unexpectedly, Ironhulk had perished.

"Felix, don't celebrate too early. Ironhulk's just a start-the following ones never even acknowledged Lord Kane. Just you wait!"

At the same time, in Xena's office in Avesburgh, a middle-aged man entered the room. Even a goddess of war like Xena had to stand up and welcome him.

"Sorry for troubling you to take the trip here, Chain Asura."

Though they didn't have official rankings, any Asura from the headquarters still held significant positions. Xena wouldn't dare put on airs before them.

"What trouble? We're just doing things for the nation. Has that villa been purged?" Xena nodded. "Arrangements have been made. We can go there anytime."

"Inferno's a night owl-he'll never make moves during the day. We'll just have to go there and stalk him around sunset. If the information we've received is true, he should appear these days.

"By then, I'll pretend to be the villa's owner. You'll hide in the shadows and capture him in one go."

Xena's phone rang the moment they stepped out of the office. It was Felix. She picked it up

⚫ since it was a rare occurrence. Besides, he was the owner of the villa.

"Listen up, Xena! I don't care who's Ted to you. Tell him not to piss me off again, or else, I won't let things slide. This is the final chance I'm giving for Curtis' sake."

With just those words, Felix hung up abruptly.
