Felix picked up the Dragon Ring with a smile. "What? Do you have a problem with that?" The two deputies exchanged nervous nces. They had to keep their mouths shut because they knew Felix could end them just as easily. They would not have any chance to escape. "Vivian,e over here." After saying that, Felix mused on how true strength would always speak for itself. Vivian came to his side nervously. She expected to be scolded for showing up uninvited.


    Watching Felix take Yale down in an instant had blown her mind. She had known he was strong, but this was something else. As a deputy chief of Dragon Alliance, Yale was snuffed out like a candle. "Here, catch."


    She caught the Dragon Ring on reflex. "Felix... what''re you doing?"


    He said with a smile, "What does it look like? Put it on. You''re the Dragon Lord from now on. You''ll be in charge of all affairs within Dragon Alliance."


    The deputies showing up had changed his ns. Being the Dragon Lord meant nothing to him now, especially with the Xena situation almost wrapped up. Since Vivian had proven herself loyal and capable, he might as well hand it over. With two deputies as witnesses, nobody w

    Vivian was dumbstruck. She held up the ring and said, "Felix, I can''t! I''m not cut out for this!"


    He put on his stern face on purpose as he looked at her. "Are you refusing me now? Ask them this. Once that ring''s on your finger, who would dare to question your status as the Dragon Lord?"


    The veteran deputies nodded hurriedly. "That''s right. The ring makes the ruler."


    "Take it, Vivian. With us backing you, nobody would dare say a thing."


    Under Felix''s steady gaze, Vivian had no choice. She slipped on the ring. "I''ll make Dragon Alliance greater than ever, Felix."


    She knew keeping her position meant she had to keep Felix close. Without him, even these deputies would not really follow her.

    An hourter, Felix walked into a bar downtown. Jack had called for drinks on his way back, so here he was. "Jack, I''m not as free as you think, you know."


    Chuckling, Jackined, "Please, you''re practically set for life now, so don''t y busy.

    After that, he lowered his voice and said, "Look, my girlfriend''sing. I just wanted you to meet her."


    Another one? Felix raised an eyebrow. "Moving kind of fast, aren''t you? If this isn''t serious, there''s no need to bother with introductions?"


    His phone rang. It was a call from Dora. After telling Jack to hold that thought, Felix answered. He still owed her one, after all.


    "Felix... I know this is asking a lot, but you''re all I''ve got," Dora said.
