After Joshua gave it some thought, he continued, "Then I will y along. On the day of the announcement, I''ll put Felix on the spot and humiliate him in front of Xena. "Then, I''ll get serious and deal with him so that both his spirit and body suffer a serious blow."


    His subordinate frowned before asking, "Sir, wouldn''t this upset Lord Kane?"


    Joshua sneered.


    "So what? My uncle has said that anyone who dares to obstruct me on the path of pursuin Xena will be dealt with. Lord Kane is just the deputy chief of Oasis Clinic.


    "Even their chief has to show some respect in front of my uncle. Why should I fear him? Since he has chosen to stand against me, it''s only natural that I don''t have to y nice."


    After a short pause, he ordered, "Notify everyone that Ster Group''s banquet for the city within a city project has been moved up to the night after tomorrow."


    That night, in a booth at a bar in Avesburgh, Jack waved at Felix when the former saw him


    enter.


    "The car has been washed, and the gas tank is full. There shouldn''t be any problem with what I''ve done, right?"


    Seeing the car keys being handed over, Felix helplessly remarked, "You''re being too polite with me."


    Jack smiled. "This is just basic courtesy. We should be transparent with each other about everything since we''re close friends!


    "Also, even though I just returned, I''m already considered a middle manager in apany. As such, if there''s anything I can help with, don''t hesitate to ask!"


    Ever since Jack found out that Felix''s car was rented just for show, the former had been feeling terrible.


    He kept wondering if Felix had been going through tough times in recent years, facing difficulties that had turned thetter into someone who would seek worldly pleasures. That wasn''t the Felix he knew. But being too straightforward might hurt Felix''s pride, so he could only hint at it.


    "Sure. If I have difficulties, I will definitely tell you."


    Felix didn''t think much of what he said since they had always beenmunicating this


    way.


    "My girlfriend wille overter; I''ll introduce you guys."


    Girlfriend, huh? That meant that the person he went to pick up at the airport was his girlfriend.


    "My girlfriend is Trina Xenos. I met her abroad. She''s two years younger than us and also from Avesburgh. She''s a pretty nicedy. After she heard that I came back to Avesburgh for work, she also came back.


    "1


    Felix smiled in response. "Then she''s truly a woman worth investing in. She traveled such a long way just for you, so you shouldn''t let her down."


    "I won''t. I''m not an ungrateful person."


    After a while, Trina arrived. She was quite attractive. Trina was the cute type, and she spoke politely.


    "Trina, are you nning to find a job here? I have some connections in Avesburgh, so I can help you out."


    Trina raised her ss. "Thank you, Felix, but my family is already working on it. If nothing goes wrong, I should be able to work in Ster Group''s office in Avesburgh."


    Hearing another person mention Ster Group, Felix could only nod in response.


    "Ster Group is definitely not something the averagepanies in Avesburgh canpare to. I wish you the best."


    That said, Felix still nned to tell Kane about it. After all, since her family was working on it, no one would notice anything if he just sped things up a bit.


    The three chatted andughed for over 20 minutes when suddenly, a dozen or so men in


    ck burst in.


    "I want everyone to get out!"


    After a loud shout, the speaker turned and pointed directly at the table where Felix and the others were sitting.


    "You three at this table are the exception!"
