"There is a way. That woman told me that if I could find a husband to defeat her brother, she'd give me the antidote. The only condition is that my husband cannot be from our place," Nala explained. Felix understood everything. "Is that why you targeted me? Did you think I could win the antidote for you?"

Nala nodded. "Yes. I didn't think much of anyone from this part of town before. But then you appeared and won my heart."

Felix studied her carefully. "Here's the deal. I'll ask for your help if I ever need it. In return, I'll defeat her brother as your husband and get you the antidote. After that, we'll be even."

Though Nala was excited, she felt her heart clench. "Is that it? Can't we go further in our relationship?"

Judging by his gaze, she knew it wasn't because of her appearance.

"At least for now, it's not possible. I'm going to bed." Felix waved her off.

The next day, Nala went to the clinic early. Felix, who slept in until past 9:09 am, was startled to find Averill beside him.

"Averill! You scared me!" Only then did Felix realize that Averill was wearing nothing but a bra and panties.

"Scared? Is that all you got? The morning is the best time to..." Averill teased.

Before she could finish her sentence, Felix pinned her down. "You're right."

After their intimate session, Averill was still in a daze. "What just happened? Did you just take the lead?"

Felix chuckled. "I've figured some things out. I'm single now. Why shouldn't I enjoy it?"

Averill was thrilled. "In that case, I'll come over often to soothe your lonely heart. You've finally thought things through!"

When Felix came downstairs, Averill had already prepared breakfast. "Eat up, but I need to talk business. Mr. Hoffman sent me here."

Felix lost his appetite at that. "Has there been progress on Benjamin?"

Averill nodded. "Yes. Mr. Hoffman confirmed that Benjamin is indeed from the Bronze Age. He's been alive for over 2000 years! Of course, that's impossible for a normal person or even a martial artist. Benjamin's body was modified, and not just basic modifications but complex

ones.

"That's why Mr. Hoffman wants him to stay."

Benjamin really was from that era. In ancient times, technology was not available, but who could say they were inferior in other areas?

With this perspective, Francis' achievements felt even more exaggerated.

"Also, Mr. Hoffman said the brush you fused into your body is extraordinary. Once you find the nine Dragonspines, its true power should be revealed."

As Felix ate breakfast, Averill deliberately let some milk spill from her lips, trickling down her neck. "Oh no! Help me wipe it off!"

Despite knowing full well she was trying to seduce him, the newly enlightened Felix didn't hold back at all and moved to act. Just then, his phone rang. It was a call from Melissa.

"Felix, there's a girl at the clinic. She says her sister knows you and wants your help." ↑
