Felix sighed to himself. Being popr with thedies felt more like a burden than a blessing.

    In Yartford, N was listening to Alfie''s report, with Yvonne standing nearby. Interesting. Felix actually gave his father''s heirloom to Aiden Greene. Knowing what kind of person he is, I find it quite hard to believe.


    Alfie remained silent. He always carried out N''s orders perfectly, so there was no way he would lie about it.


    Yvonne felt relieved. She knew how terrifying Aiden was, who also had the mighty Greene family backing him.


    "Did you find out why Felix is going to Gray City?"


    Alfie shook his head. "No, but it seems he''s nning to stay long-term. He transferred both his vi and car to Jack."


    N could not figure out what made Gray City special.


    "Miss, perhaps he''s leaving Canraville because of his broken rtionship with Xena. Gray City might just be a random choice." 1


    "Yeah, you''re probably right. I can finally make my move now that my biggestpetitor is gone."


    Xena had indeed been N''s strongest rival, especially given her title as the Phoenix Warlord. N''s options had been limited, but this unexpected turn of events worked in her favor.


    "Yvonne, stay in Yartford to manage the business. Don''t disturb me unless it''s something important."


    Seeing N rise, Yvonne gathered her courage to ask, "What about you, miss?"


    "I''m moving to Gray City, of course! How else can Felix and I grow feelings for each other if we can''t even meet?"


    Yvonne was delighted. If Felix epted N, it would benefit her, too. "Forgive me, won''t that be hard with how much Félix hates you now, miss?"


    but


    sure he won''t


    With a flourish, N produced an object seemingly from thin air. "This is something my grandfather gave me. I''ll approach Felix under a different identity, and I''m discover the truth, no matter how powerful he bes." Yvonne was relieved that N had nned ahead.


    "Miss, why are you suddenly taking the initiative?"


    N smiled at Alfie''s question. "I thought you were never curious about anything! A few


    hours


    ago, I received news that Elders'' Council tried to kill Felixst night. They sent three Pulse Realm and five Oceanus Realm masters. Do I still need to spell it out for you?"


    What? Alfie''s eyes widened.


    If Felix was still alive and unharmed, that meant the Council''s forces were dead. How had Felix managed that? His power growth was terrifying.


    N was pleased by Alfie''s reaction. She had chosen her man well. Only a man with such potential could help her in the future. But as she took a step, her expression changed to one of terror.


    Alfie and Yvonne suddenly copsed, and a ck-robed figure appeared in the room. The fact that even someone as powerful as Alfie had fallen without a sound meant how powerful the intruder was. "Who are you?" Trying to stay calm, N watched as the figure slowly pulled back their hood. Her jaw dropped. "You... How is this possible?"


    The figure spoke, "Didn''t you want to confirm that matter with me? So, here I am."
