"There's no first come, first serve. All four participants can diagnose the patient at the same time. The specific requirement to claim the items for whoever can cure the patient the best. "This is absolutely fair, don't worry," Wayne said.

The severity of the patient's condition was evident. Even with a master healer like Lemuel getting invited, Wayne's calm demeanor suggested that the case was particularly challenging.

It was two in the morning when Felix returned home. He had taken off the Shadow Mask before he entered his house.

Melissa, who had been waiting, threw herself into his arms. "Felix! I'm so sorry!"

Felix smiled and comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay. No matter what happens next time, tell me the truth, okay?".

Melissa wiped away her tears. Her fear was evident in her eyes. "It's not like that. He was always by my side. I didn't dare to tell you the truth."

As she said this, Felix's expression turned solemn. "Who brought you to the auction?"

If the root of the issue wasn't addressed, similar things could happen again.

Melissa trembled as if she were extremely terrified to even think of the person. "I really don't know, Felix! According to my mentor, it was the mortal enemy of Thief Guild. When you meet him, you'll have no ability to resist." She didn't know who it was? Felix was a little frustrated. He couldn't understand the situation

at all.

"My mentor calls those types of people 'Fish Men.' His clearest feature is that his hands are covered in fish scales. All he did was touch me, and I couldn't feel my hands."

Felix was taken aback. That sounded unbelievable. "That shouldn't scare you to this extent, right?" he questioned.

Melissa shook her head desperately and cried again. "If the Fish Man touches me three times consecutively, my hands will turn itchy and painful. He made me feel it for just a few seconds, and I couldn't bear it. "I don't want to feel that pain ever in my life again."

So that was why she reacted in that manner. It was no wonder she was so terrified.

Felix motioned for Melissa to sit. He then took her pulse to ensure she was okay. He was relieved to find that there was nothing left on Melissa's body.

"Here's what we'll do. You'll stay in the clinic from now on. Billy also works down at Floral

Wreath Boutique. If the Fish Man appears again, you'll be safe with Billy around."

Melissa was dumbfounded. "That fatso is that powerful?"

Felix smiled. "Well, you can't judge a book by its cover. He's only annoying because he runs his mouth a lot. But he's definitely capable of this."

Of course, it was a good thing Melissa's safety could be guaranteed. However, she was still worried.

"Is he willing to protect me? After all, I've always disliked him."

"Don't worry. I'll have a good talk with him."

Needless to say, Felix only said that to console Melissa. He knew all too well that convincing Billy would likely cost him another favor.

As expected, when the following day came, Billy was about to refuse the task. However, when he heard Felix's deal, he immediately burst into joy. "Alright. Okay! You owe me another favor for this trivial matter. How nice of you."

Felix rolled his eyes. Sometimes, he really admired Billy's manner of speech-he gained the benefits, yet still acted coy about it.

At sunset, Felix rushed to the villa where the Obsidian Auction was held. Almost as soon as he entered, Aiden and Asher got out of the car.

When Asher caught Aiden looking at Felix's retreating figure, Asher couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's up?"

From the previous day till now, whenever they encountered this middle-aged man, Aiden seemed very concerned. Suddenly, Aiden spat out two words, "Felix Zeller!"
