Xena gave a deadline of three days. She clearly wanted to test whether Felix had any connection to Daniel or if he was genuinely a member of Dragon Alliance. real
"Milady, you don't believe Felix is a member of Dragon Alliance?"
Upon hearing Belle's question, Xena looked over and immediately sensed something off.
"Are you serious? You're my deputy, yet you're concerned about a member of Dragon Alliance? Why are you still so easily shaken?"
Belle froze, carefully pondering the meaning behind those words.
"Whether he is ornot is secondary. We'll know in three days. Let's deal with it then."
After Xena left, Ernest came to the courtyard.
"Felix, things are so lively here! And all your guests are big names, too."
Felix could only smile bitterly.
"Please, don't tease me."
Sitting down, Ernest laughed. "With your reputation as a skillful doctor, even someone like Xena will eventually fall for you."
Felix shook his head and sighed. "My mentor always taught me to follow my conscience. As for Xena right now, she's not worth my attention. So, let's take things step by step and see where they go."
Ernest gave him a thumbs-up. It was rare to find a young person with such capability and patience. Nowadays, when young people achieved something, they wanted the whole world to know about it. But Felix was the opposite. "I owe you my life. Let me know if you need me to step in and have a word with Xena. Even though I'm retired, my words still carry some weight.
Felix politely declined. "There's no need to trouble you, Mr. Holt Senior. I can handle it myself."
They chatted for a while, and just as Ernest was about to leave, his phone buzzed with a video call. Seeing it was from Sherlyn, he picked it up immediately. "Have you checked into the hotel?"
From the background Sherlyn was in, it seemed like evening, and she seemed to be abroad
"Grandpa, are you losing your eyesight? Look at what I'm wearing. Of course I've already checked in!"
But the next moment, Ernest turned the phone toward Felix. "Felix, my eyesight is not

good. Can you take a look and see what my granddaughter is wearing?"
Honestly, Felix wasn't mentally prepared for what he was going to see. On the screen, Sherlyn was dressed in a very revealing nightgown.
"F... Felix? Grandpa, you're so annoying! I've already taken off my makeup!"
That was the last thing she said before hanging up, leaving Ernest laughing uncontrollably while Felix shot him a darkened gaze.
"Mr. Holt Senior, you're really too mischievous."
Even Jairo, who was standing nearby, was amused. Ernest seemed to be serious about having Felix as Sherlyn's husband. After all, he was trying to matchmake his beloved granddaughter with him.
"Since I retired and moved back to Avesburgh, my mindset has changed quite a bit. But Felix, I'll vouch for Sherlyn's character. She's very outstanding and has a good attitude. So when the time is right, I hope you'll consider it."
Before Felix could respond, Ernest hummed a little tune and left, clearly in a great mood. Felix had a helpless expression on his face. Having spent three years surrounded by nine beautiful female apprentices in Eden Village, his biggest fear was being surrounded by beautiful women again. Despite all his efforts, he found such a thing was inevitable.
As night fell, Perry paced restlessly at home. He kept looking at the old Noviea phone on the table.
Finally, the phone rang, and he quickly answered.
"Perry, we've verified your capital. Inferno Clan has decided to take on the mission. This will be a fight to the death!"
The call ended, and Perry burst into maniacal laughter. "They've accepted my request! Inferno Clan accepted it! Son, your father can finally avenge you!"
