"Do you remember anything at all?" Leandre asked as he walked over. Behind the Waverlys' house, Felix sensed Leandre's approach, but he didn't show it. He quickly pretended to be startled. "Oh! It's you, Mr. Campbell."Leandre smiled and took out a smoking pipe. "I used to look out in the village like this every night when I was young."Felix turned back and sighed. "Although I haven't exactly experienced it, I keep feeling that there's something terrifying in the darkness…"Leandre nodded. "That's for sure. Otherwise, how could so many people have died? Even the powerful fighters never return once they leave for Desolated Lands at night."Felix had a feeling that Leandre might be hinting at something else, but he pretended not to notice and turned to look at the fire in the east. "Thank goodness, the flame is there to protect us! Otherwise, I'm afraid there'll be no one left alive here."Turning to the flames, mixed emotions reflected in Leandre's eyes. "Yeah, Nine Flames are t

There was a clang as the tool in Lincoln's hand fell to the ground. He rushed outside, grabbing the woman who sent them the news."What? Quinley is dead?"The woman could no longer hold back her cries. She pointed at the group of fighters angrily. "One of their people is a monster! He raped her and killed her!" She screamed, "I don't want to live anymore. I want to die!" Just then, a man's voice came from behind her, "Why are you crying? Your daughter is lucky that I took a liking to her! Yet, she slapped me and forced my hand to kill her. She got off easy!"He was a rough-looking man, and he glared at the woman in contempt. The woman, Quinley's mother, Susan McLoughlin, wanted to rush forward in anger, but Leandre quickly stopped her. Even with everyone in the village, they couldn't fight against these brutes. Susan would die if she rushed up to fight the man now."I'm going to kill you!" she screamed again. Leandre held her back, but he couldn't stop Lincoln, whose face w

A secret? Felix watched Leandre leave after speaking. That meant that it wasn't the time yet. Of course, Felix didn't expect anything much. Although he could see that Leandre wasn't as simple as he seemed, Leandre had been in Innswood Village for so many years.How powerful could he be?…As the sun rose, so did Kathlynn. Wagner was extremely happy. "Kathlynn! You're finally awake!"After Kathlynn shook herself awake, she looked down at her body, confused. She felt around and muttered, "I'm… I'm completely healed? I can only feel a slight ache now… What happened?"The last thing she remembered was the moment she was attacked. The injury was so horrible that she couldn't forget the feeling. She thought she was a goner for sure."We got lucky. We found a doctor in Innswood Village, and he saved you."A doctor? She followed Wagner's finger and was surprised. A doctor from a village could actually help her?As she thought of this, she stood up and said, "Thank you for saving me

Felix stayed quiet for a while. In fact, he had been extremely restless for a while now, but he didn't dare to show it. Finally, he let out a laugh."If you dare tell me, of course, I would listen. In fact, when I lost my memories in the forest, it had something to do with Nine Flames. But my story should be kept a secret."A sharp glint flashed in Leandre's eyes. He clinked their glasses again and said, "In fact, when the Flame Monarch appeared with Nine Flames, Aquamarinus was still peaceful, and there were no Desolated Lands at all."Huh? Felix was shocked. This was truly a startling secret. It was something that could get someone killed."When the Flame Monarch came, so did Desolated Lands. But the current history books say the complete opposite. Instead, it says that Desolated Lands were spreading, and when the Flame Monarch appeared with Nine Flames, it gave Aquamarinus peace."Memories seemed to flash by in Leandre's eyes. "Back then, people could come and go freely on Aqua

Although Leandre was still a member of The Recovery Association, he lost his strength in the battle all those years ago. Thus, he was no different than just an old man now. Besides, this time, it wasn't just about himself. It was about protecting Innswood Village. He didn't want to cause any trouble here. So, he was utterly helpless with Felix's request."Since you're recommending me to join The Recovery Association, once I'm in, won't I be able to use their influence to help?"Leandre's eyes lit up. Felix was right. He wasn't an ordinary person! He was not only a doctor but also a martial artist. The Recovery Association would hold him on a pedestal, and it would be understandable for them to help him."Alright, then. I'll contact them and ask them to send someone over!" The world of martial arts wasn't only about fighting and killing but also connections. Sometimes, connections and favors were more important.If Felix had been alone, it wouldn't have mattered. He could just k
