Chapter 64
Belle said, "This is Inferno we're talking about, ma'am. If the headquarters has sent an Asura over to help, it's clear that Inferno is much scarier than Nocturno. You…"Xena held up a hand, her expression grim. "Don't say such pessimistic things! I didn't get to where I am today by pulling funny tricks and hiding from danger. We'll immediately start setting up our defenses when the Asura gets here. Inferno might show up at any moment.""Yes, ma'am!" Then, Belle thought of something. "Milady, we'll be using the villa at Tabiner Bay as our defense base, and Felix is the owner. What should we…"A trace of disdain flitted past Xena's face. "All irrelevant people have to be cleared out when the Phoenix Legion is conducting its business. So what if it's Felix? Issue him a notice—that's good enough!"…Felix received another call from Sasha that evening. "Come to Club Neuf. I've arrived earlier because I have something to do, so someone else will meet you at the entrance. I want you out
Chapter 65
Sasha looked like the promiscuous type, but she knew just where to draw the line. She knew it was important to remain chaste until marriage, so she'd never crossed the line. Even when dating playboys, she hadn't gone to fourth base with them. She would never have allowed them to take her away.And so, Saul's sudden attack had scared her. If Ted had made it clear that this was the price she had to pay to take Felix down, she would never have agreed to it."Let me go! Help!" she screamed.At the same time, Felix arrived at the private room that Sasha had told him about. He ignored the two bodyguards standing outside and looked at Ted. The latter pretended to be surprised. "What are you doing here, Felix?"In truth, he was delighted. Everything was going according to plan."Fuck off!" Felix wasn't interested in knowing what Ted was up to. The fact that he could still walk around like a normal person was only because he was Xena's relative."What makes you think you can act so obnoxi
Chapter 66
"Whatever," Felix said, feeling exasperated. Sasha was probably the first person he'd ever met who would resent the person who'd saved her."You can't refute me, can you? Anyway, think about how long it took you to arrive after I told you to come! If you'd arrived earlier, you could've drank with Mr. Barton on my behalf. None of this would've even happened!" Sasha snapped.Felix knew martial arts and seemed to be quite good in a fight—if Ivan's words could be trusted. Yet, in the end, he'd let Saul off the hook just like that. Sasha didn't believe Felix would've allowed the matter to slide so easily if the woman he loved had been in her situation.They finally arrived at the Quinton residence. Warren and Nattie were home, and Felix had completed his mission. Thus, he said, "I'm leaving, Uncle Warren.""Alright. Drive safe."Sasha burst into tears almost as soon as Felix was gone. Warren hurried over to her, his heartache clear. "What's wrong, Sasha?""I was almost raped, Dad,"
Chapter 67
Xena had actually ordered Felix to stay away from his villa for a whole week. Who was she joking? Why did he have to get her permission to stay in his own house? She was abusing her power, wasn't she?Seemingly expecting Felix to react like this, Belle said frostily, "Look closely, Felix! This is a military order. If you refuse to comply, we can arrest you and lock you up for a week—your villa will still end up empty. The choice is yours."Felix looked at the regulatory permit. He couldn't deny that Xena had indeed signed the permit in her capacity as a goddess of war. It was also stamped with the Phoenix Legion's official stamp. If he were to go against them, he wouldn't even be able to lodge a complaint."Fine, then. I'll do as you say." Felix left, feeling a little mad at himself. Why did he have to get mad at a woman? He could've just agreed to do as Xena ordered and secretly returned if he wanted. No one would notice him, let alone stop him.He figured that his villa wasn't
Chapter 68
Ironhulk looked at his subordinate. "Go and drag Sasha Quinton to the dog farm. Since this Felix Zeller is so powerful, I'd like to see whether he can save her twice."…Two hours later, sometime past 1:00 am, Felix appeared at Kane's house."I'm so sorry to disturb you at this hour, Mr. Zeller. I should've been the one to go to you," Kane said, looking distressed. Felix himself had mentioned that Kane could contact him anytime if he had news on the herbs.So, he'd called Felix upon returning from his trip to another city. He'd suggested heading over to Felix's villa, but the latter had said he would come over instead.Felix said, "It's not too convenient to meet at my place for the time being."How could they discuss anything if he couldn't even turn the lights on at his villa? He didn't want to have anything to do with Xena before Curtis woke up. Sasha was already enough trouble for him. "Did you really get the things?"Kane nodded and had someone bring them two bunches of her
Chapter 69
Felix's brows were tightly furrowed on the journey to Hairot Dog Farm. "Why did you bring so many guns along?"Kane hurriedly explained, "Ironhulk is in the business of arms and weaponry, Mr. Zeller. He has many men reporting to him and a whole lot of guns. He's considered important in Avesburgh's underground circles. He might not dare to challenge me, but we do need to keep ourselves safe from him."Felix's expression turned odd. "You're afraid of mere guns?"Kane smiled bitterly. Only then did it occur to him who Felix really was. "I apologize, Mr. Zeller. I overstepped my boundaries."…Sasha was bound to a chair in the courtyard of Hairot Dog Farm. She no longer had tears to shed, and she was so terrified that she kept mumbling to herself. "This has nothing to do with me, I swear. Felix is the one behind this. Please, let me go."Ironhulk glared at her from his seat nearby. "Say another word, and I'll have my men take you inside."Sasha immediately shut up. Her hatred for Fe
Chapter 70
Felix felt resigned as he looked at the scene before him. He didn't want Kane to make an appearance. He'd only brought the latter along just in case. It looked like it would be hard to get Sasha, who was fully conscious, out of here without things getting bloody.Meanwhile, Sasha's fear and horror had turned to despair at the sight of all the guns. To any regular individual, seeing a gun was about the scariest thing that could happen to them. She knew that Felix was dead meat, which also meant she was doomed.Suddenly, she regretted everything. She wouldn't have met Saul if not for her agreeing to help Ted take Felix down, and none of this would've happened.At that moment, Felix snapped his fingers. Someone got out of the Range Rover's driver's seat. Ironhulk's expression changed drastically when he saw who it was. "L-Lord Kane?"Kane stood beside Felix and said coldly, "You've got guts, Ironhulk. How dare you try to pick on my distant relative? Even I have to address him as Mr.
Chapter 71
Warren's roar was just as Felix imagined. After all, Sasha had been abducted by Ironhulk in the middle of the night. How could her family be unbothered?"Uncle Warren, Sasha's safe. I'm sending her home now," Felix said."I'll be waiting!" Warren boomed. Felix could tell that Warren was genuinely furious this time. Felix also clearly knew that Sasha had been abducted precisely because of him.When they arrived at Silverwood, Nattie was in tears. "Sasha!"Felix placed Sasha on the couch and said, "She's fine. She just passed out."At least Sasha wasn't tortured—this was the only thing that reassured Felix."You animal! Get lost! You're nothing but trouble, and you've even dragged our family into this. Warren and I were beaten up, and all you did was a simple bandage job. Get out of here!" Nattie demanded.Felix said nothing in reply. He only approached Warren while gazing at him. "Tell me honestly. How have I treated you?" Warren asked."You've treated me as your godson, Uncle
