"Have you forgotten what I always taught you? The Greene family never fights a battle without certainty. Send an expert to test Felix's abilities first-just testing, mind lethal," Meredith instructed. Aiden nodded in understanding. "Yes, Grandma."

you, nothing

At Xena's residence in Yartford, Felix sat silently on the couch until Xena broke the silence. She said, "About your earlier situation, you don't need to worry for now.

"While you're on assignment, headquarters will protect your family members, and since you have no acknowledged relatives, this protection extends to your friends." Felix looked up with interest. "Is that really possible?"

-Xena nodded. "Yes, I've authorized it personally. No matter how powerful they are, the Greene

family wouldn't dare openly defy headquarters.

"You can rest assured about that. However, how you resolve your conflict with them after the mission is your own business."

How to resolve it? Through elimination, of course! Now that his anger had cooled, Felix had already started formulating plans.

"So you actually had a mission for me? It wasn't just an excuse? And how did you know I was at the Greene family estate?" Felix asked.

Xena's eyes

flickered with an unreadable expression. "Someone informed me, but who isn't important. And yes, I do have a mission for you.

"Given your six-month term and the fact that you're carrying headquarters' property, the higher-ups want to maximize your usefulness. They won't give you much downtime."

Having accepted the position, Felix naturally could not refuse. "What's the mission?"

There are several candidates, and we must select the least likely to be discovered before proceeding with the mission." Her expression turned serious. "I hope you take this seriously. These are mysterious events affecting national security, not something to be taken lightly."

"Don't worry." Felix assured her. With his Shadow Mask, truly hiding would be simpler than

regular disguise techniques.

"Felix, we've received confirmed reports that all direct members of the Steele family in Astoria were killed overnight, supposedly in a fire. Does that sound plausible to you?" Xena asked.

A family with access to highly trained shadowstalkers dying in a fire? That was barely believable. The moment Xena received this news, she had suspected Felix's involvement.

After a pause, Félix replied, "Whether it's plausible or not, does it matter? In my opinion, the Steele family deserved their fate."

Xena fell silent, sharing his sentiment but mainly wanting to confirm his involvement. She said, "You can go now. Stay home these next few days-I might bring someone over anytime."

As Felix reached the door, Xena spoke again, seemingly to herself yet clearly meant for him. "I received a letter yesterday. The sender mentioned having a new neighbor who made quite a good impression." Felix turned around, their gazes meeting as Xena asked, "Was that new neighbor you?"
