While on the road to Meadowspring, with only about three miles left to reach his destination, Felix suddenly mmed on the brakes. A BMW X6 had abruptly swerved in front of him, its brake lights shing. A collision would''ve been inevitable if not for Felix''s quick reflexes.


    The road was already narrow to begin with, with only twones for traffic. While the BMW''s aggressive maneuver was extremely frustrating for any driver, Felix was in a hurry. Hence, he couldn''t be bothered to deal with it.


    With a swift turn of the steering wheel, he aimed to overtake the car. To his surprise, the BMW had also veered into the oppositene, clearly intending to block him.


    Felix took a moment to assess the situation. The BMW had been driving at a crawl just ten minutes earlier, and Felix had honked a few times, but the driver had ignored him. It seemed like the driver was seeking revenge just because of those few honks. A wry smile crossed Felix''s face as he pressed the gas pedal, feinting a move to the right before quickly speeding past the BMW.


    Felix''s car soon reached the entrance to Meadowspring, and he pulled his car to a stop. To his surprise, the BMW X6 followed him, parking beside him. A young man, probably in his 20s, with bleached hair and an arrogant expression, stepped out of the car. "How dare


    you honk at my car?" he shouted.


    Felix, however, was more concerned with his mission to save someone and couldn''t be bothered with this small-time troublemaker.


    When the young man saw that Felix was ignoring him, his anger grew.


    "Hey! Are you from Meadowspring? You''re done for! Even the vige chief has to respect me! Who do you think you are?"


    Felix frowned. Without a word, he turned around and struck the man with a palm. Without waiting for a response, he turned and walked away.


    A dull thud rang out as the young man crumpled to the ground, clutching his stomach in


    agony.


    "You... you''re dead!" the man gasped, still writhing in pain. "Even if you''re a Martial Emperor, Meadowspring will have to answer for this!"


    Despite the sharp pain in his abdomen, the young man knew he wasn''t seriously injured. However, the pain was enough to fuel his fury. Clenching his teeth, he struggled to his feet and staggered into the vige.


    "I will make you regret this! You''ll wish you''d never been born!"


    Soon, Xerxes Tate stormed into Meadowsprings administration office. A middle-aged man who had been sipping his drink immediately got up to greet the young man.


    "You didn''t let me know you wereing, Mr. Tate. I would''ve gone to the vige entrance to wee you."


    Xerxes, still fuming, shot him a confused look. Who are you? Where''s the vige chief?"


    The man smiled and answered, "I''m the acting vige chief of Meadowspring now. You can call me Leon."


    Xerxes was taken aback. "Has the vige chief been reced? What happened to the old one?"


    Leon''s expression immediately turned somber. "Ah, the old vige chief vited the rules of the Saphira family. Not only was he removed from his position, but he may face punishment. His life might even be at risk." To Leon''s surprise, Xerxes burst intoughter.


    "Ha! Serves him right! He used to act like a big shot whenever he saw me. Now it''s finally catching up with him."


    As heughed, he felt a twinge of pain in his stomach, and his thoughts returned to Felix. " Gather all the young people in the vige. I''m looking for someone!"


    Leon''s eyes twinkled. He quickly grabbed Xerxes and began heading outside.


    "Well, that''s quite convenient. All the young people are already gathered at the small square, waiting to see the old vige chief''s punishment. Let''s go there, and you can look for whoever you want."
