Lionel responded without hesitation, "Felix, you saved my life. How could I ignore your request? But as I said, we can''t vite principles.


    "Here''s what I can do. I''ll have them release Xena to continue her work. She''ll need to stay in Canraville, waiting for the investigation''s oue."


    Felix was satisfied with this. Even though someone of Xena''s rank would surely havefortable amodations, freedom was far better than detention. "Thank you, Lord Lionel."


    After the call ended, Lionel turned to N, who was sitting beside him. "You clever girl, always thinking ahead for your grandpa!"


    N smiled and said, "I knew I couldn''t fool someone as shrewd as you.''


    Lionel red at her before


    resignedly. "By doing this, it shows your power to Felix and uses up the debt I owed him. N, do you have to be so calcting? You''re always nning so far ahead. Isn''t it tiring to live like that?" N slowly raised


    exhaustingly careful hands before saying, "Grandpa, I''d already be dead if I wasn''t this


    Wouldn''t I?"


    Back in Canraville, Felix left Ernest''s house and grabbed some quick pasta. He then headed to an electric scooter dealership. Riding Nancy''s scooter had shown him how convenient they were for short tripspared to cars, so he decided to get one himself. He spent over 5,000 dors there. He was waiting for them to install the battery before riding off.


    With Xena''s release secured, he felt relieved. The truth would prevail.


    Felix knew Xena was not the type to seriously abuse her position. Sure, she might have helped Perry with small favors, but certainly nothing fundamentally wrong.


    While he was waiting for the light at an intersection, Felix heard an aggressive car horn ring right behind him. Looking back, he saw a Mercedes had entered the bikene for some reason. As he was about to move aside, the horn sted again repeatedly. Annoyed, Felix stayed put. With no other scooters around, he decided to teach this rude driver a lesson even after the light turned green Entering thisne was already illegal, and now, this driver was honking at him so obnoxiously.


    As the Mercedes door opened, an overweight middle-aged woman approached Felix. "Hey, kid! Are you deaf or blind? Get out of the way!"


    Her venomous tone made Felix''s mood worse. This is a bikene, and it''s a red light. Are you in such a hurry to meet your maker?"


    With her hands on her hips, the woman''s eyes widened, seemingly shocked at being talked back to. "How dare you talk to me like that? Do you know who I am? You''re just a poor wretch on an electric scooter, yet you dare block my way! "One wheel of my Mercedes costs more than several of your scooters! Move aside now, or I won''t give you another chance."


    Felix could not help butugh. "If you''re so rich, go ahead and hit me. I could use the money."


    If they were not in public with cameras everywhere, Felix would have already pped her face swollen. Seemingly worried about this, too, the woman pointed at Felix several times before getting back in her car.
