Felix stood up. He had never seen Gerald this furious before, so something big must have happened.


    "I''m listening, Mr. Hoffman."


    Even Ernest looked over curiously. For someone as young as Felix to have such exceptional medical skills, his mentor could not be an ordinary man, either.


    "Guneria''s gone too far! How dare they look down on our traditional medicine that''s been passed down for generations? There''s going to be a medicalpetition with them soon. Felix then realized that Gerald''s anger was because of the same thing Ernest had just mentioned. "Mr. Hoffman, another respectable hero had already asked me to participate. Don''t worry. I''ll make sure those Gunerian jerks leave in tears."


    Geraldughed. "Is that so? Then, I won''t say much more. If you don''t crush thempletely, don''t bother showing your face to me again."


    "Mr. Holt Senior, my mentor''s call was about the same thing. He''s furious, too.


    П


    Ernest smiled. Having devoted himself to the country, he naturally respected and admired patriots. Considering Gerald''s attitude, it was no wonder that Felix had such strong values. "Felix, it''s all on you now. I''ll let you know when thepetition date is near." By noon, Felix''s phone rang again as they were packing up their fishing gear to head back for lunch. It was andline number.


    "Is this Felix Zeller?"


    "Yes, it is."


    Felix was still puzzled when the caller continued, "I''m the manager of Westside Restaurant. Your brother just trashed our most expensive VIP room. You''d better get here. right away, or things are going to get ugly." Brother? Felix frowned. "What brother?"


    "His name is Harold. Isn''t he your brother? Is this kid messing with me?"


    Hearing the name, Felix could not help but sigh He had barely met the kid, and he was already causing trouble. "Just make him pay for the damages."


    It was just property damage, after all. With Harold''s current situation and Yale''s sur from Dragon Alliance, he surely had cash to spare.


    rt


    "He''s refusing to pay and is being a total jerk about it. He just told us to call you to handle it. If you don''t show up, don''t me us for getting rough."


    ording to Harold, any harm done to him would be inflicted on his mother, Yvette. Felix could not let that slide.


    His mom had always cared deeply for Yvette as her sister. Now that he was capable of helping out, how could he let his aunt get hurt? He would be letting down his mother. "I''m on my way."


    Back at the vi, Sherlyn stopped him just as he was about to drive off. "Felix, mind giving me a lift to the airport?"


    Anyone with half a brain could tell Sherlyn was doing this on purpose. Someone of her status surely had a private car and driver at her disposal.


    "No! Got an emergency, so I have to go now."


    Watching the Range Rover peel out, Sherlyn stomped her foot in frustration. "Ugh! Felix, you jerk! A knockout like me asks for a ride, and that''s how you respond? Just wait until I''m back!"T Standing in the yard, Yvonne had caught the whole scene. She looked on with a hint of curiosity.


    Sherlyn''s looks and presence slightly outshone even her own, so she clearly was not from any ordinary family. The fact that even the Phoenix Legion seemed wary of her yesterday said a lot, too. For a woman like that to be so interested in Felix was certainly intriguing.
