"Don't even mention it. Usually, this amount of alcohol wouldn't be an issue, but I barely slept last night," Jack groaned.

Felix found it amusing since people typically slept better when drunk, which was unusual

"Having those kinds of dreams?" he teased, feeling relaxed around Jack, especially since Melissa was helping Vanessa in the kitchen.

Jack shot Felix a look before turning serious. "It's strange. Last night felt like a dream but also seemed real. You probably won't believe this, but kept hearing cries.

"Sometimes, it sounded like children, other times like women, leaving me in this dreamlike state all night. Meanwhile, Nessa didn't stir once all night. When I asked her this morning, she said she hadn't heard anything."

Felix's expression changed instantly, realizing Billy's warning was already coming true. Given Jack's close connection to him, the karmic tie was probably strongest, making him the first to experience the effects. While it was not surprising, its speed was alarming. "You were definitely dreaming. Don't overthink it," Felix reassured him.

"Yeah, you're right." Jack nodded.

Felix felt helpless, knowing he needed to resolve this quickly before it affected more people. While warriors could handle it, ordinary people might end up with mental health issues.

After much consideration, Felix decided to tell Melissa about the situation on the plane.

Melissa furrowed her brows with concern. "A Southern Xilona witch? Felix, you need to take- this seriously. When I was training with my master, he once stole something but immediately returned it after realizing the owner was a Southern Xilona witch. "When I asked if he was overreacting, he was clear-never mess with Southern Xilona witches. Their methods are too mysterious and impossible to guard against."

Seeing Felix's silence, Melissa laughed. "Why are you worrying? This is perfect for you-you get to be with a woman and break the curse. It's a win-win!"

Felix was annoyed by her casual attitude. It was not as simple as just sleeping with someone. He did not want to add another complicated relationship to his life, even though circumstances kept forcing him into these situations.

The clinic would not open that day since they reached Gray City around 4:00 pm, so Felix sent Melissa home. He took some Canraville specialties that Jack had prepared and headed to Clement's house, where he found Willow. "I brought some local specialties from Canraville," Felix said, their relationship now close

enough to skip formalities.

"Thanks, Felix! Actually, I was planning to stop by tonight. Would you like to join us for a barbecue tomorrow? Clement knows this amazing spot, and Queenie's already agreed to come, "Willow suggested.

At the mention of Queenie, Felix smiled and nodded. "Sure. I'll keep the clinic closed another day. It's been a while since I've had a good barbecue."

Later, Felix went to Queenie's house, feeling oddly guilty as he rang the doorbell. After waiting for a while with no response, he was about to leave when the door finally opened.

"Queen" Felix froze mid-word.

The woman who emerged was not Queenie.

It was Yvonne.
