Chapter 792

Melissa's call came at just the right moment.

Felix answered it.

"Felix, there's someone named Tom here. He barged into the clinic and won't get up from his knees. He's desperate to see you. Are you free?" Tom?

Felix smirked. That bastard Tom must have exhausted all other options to come crawling back like this.

At the clinic, Tom looked like a shell of his former self.

"Please, I'm begging you! Remove it. I'm begging you!" Tom was on the verge of losing his mind. He had never imagined urination could ever become a torture for him.

He wanted to pull out that silver needle but feared death too much. The agony was unbearable,

Felix ignored him at first. Instead, he looked at Nala, who understood immediately and took Melissa's hand with a smile, She said, "Melissa, let's go shopping." "Sure."

As the clinic's shutters came down, Felix took a seat. "Do you know why I agreed to see you?"

Tom shook his head frantically, fighting another urge to urinate.

"Please, living like this is worse than death." For a grown man to sob so uncontrollably, it showed just how desperate he had become.

Felix normally would not waste time on such trash, but the shadowstalker who appeared that night made him suspect a connection to Tom. Plus, with the Pine Valley incident also involving shadowstalkers, he might receive unexpected information from this. "On the night I inserted that needle, an Astorian shadowstalker tried to kill me at my home. What do you know about that?"

Tom raised his right hand with an earnest expression. "I swear to God I had nothing to do with it.

Felix smirked. He had ways to make Tom talk, but why would he bother when the situation would do it for him?

"If that's all, you can leave."

What?

Chapter 792

Tom gritted his teeth, seemingly reaching a decision. "Wait! I'll tell you everything! Just please make it stop! The shadowstalker was sent by Yadier Steele to kill you. I only found out afterward, I swear." Yadier Steele!

The name made Felix sit up straight. He had not forgotten that the Steele family from Astoria was behind the Pine Valley incident. Tom's connection to them was unexpected.

While there were probably many Steele families in Astoria, having one operating in Dragonia and commanding shadowstalkers seemed far from coincidental. "What's your business in Gray City?" Having come this far, Tom held nothing back. "The Steele family hired me to capture homeless people and those without families in Gray City. I don't know what happened to them after that.

Felix was now certain it was the same Steele family. If Tom was handling Gray City, other cities must have their own operators. This explained the steady stream of test subjects to the lab in Pine Valley. "Where can I find Yadier Steele?"

Tom gave a bitter laugh. "I don't know! We only communicate by phone. I've never even seen his face. And his phone seems specially made and can't be traced. I... I tried secretly."

Their caution made sense. They did not need to restrict Tom since he knew so little.

How dare these people do such horrible things in Dragonia? Now that he had a lead, Felix knew he needed to clear out the Steele family's local operatives.

After pondering for a moment, Felix smiled as an idea formed in his mind.
