"What? Queenie is a martial artist?" Felix was stunned, wondering how powerful this Shadow Mask could be.

He shuddered to think what dangers might have awaited him if Delilah had not happened to arrive and expose the truth.

"I mean you no harm! Otherwise, I would have struck already! Let me leave, and I'll agree to any conditions!" Queenie pleaded. Delilah smirked. "Any conditions?"

"Yes, anything!" Queenie confirmed desperately

Felix suddenly burst out in anger. "Still trying to manipulate me? By 'any conditions,' you mean getting me to sleep with you, right?"

Delilah was taken aback, wondering why Felix kept talking about sleeping with women. She wondered if his junior apprentices had messed with his head too much.

Seeing Queenie's silence, Felix continued harshly. "I should have known there was something suspicious about that tattoo on your back. You'd better tell the truth, or you're not leaving!" Queenie suddenly turned to Delilah. "Please don't tell Felix what I really look like, and I'll confess everything."

Intrigued, Delilah hesitated before nodding slightly.

Queenie visibly relaxed at this agreement. Then, she revealed, "Felix, I'm Nala Hughman."

Felix was speechless, realizing this despicable woman had infiltrated his life. He had not only treated her as a friend but had even agonized over how to become intimate with her.

Delilah threw up her hands, looking between them. "Goodness! You used such a precious artifact just to sleep with him?"

Felix was beyond words at this point but extended his hand. "Just in case, hand over the Shadow Mask."

"I'll give it to her, but not to you," Nala replied firmly.

"Fine!" he agreed, trusting Delilah and just wanting to ensure Nala could not use it again. Nala gave him one last longing look as she headed for the door, with Delilah following to

secure the mask.

She asked, "Felix, I've truly fallen for you. Can't you give me another chance?"

When he remained silent, Nala sighed and left.

Felix sat on the couch, his mind in chaos, wondering how such a powerful woman could abandon everything just to be with him.

If only there had not been their troubled history, he might have considered giving her another chance.

After what seemed like forever, the doorbell rang, snapping Felix back to reality. When he opened the gate and saw who was standing there, his eyes widened in disbelief. "Am I dreaming?" he whispered.
