The royal family was truly extravagant. They had given generous gifts merely as a meeting present. With just these gifts, anyone in Martial City wouldn''t have to worry about food and necessities for the rest of their lives!


    Wilson''s smile indicated that he was satisfied. His gaze was fixed on Felix, ready to say something.


    "Boy, since you foolishly came to propose empty-handed, don''t me me for making an issue out of it!" Wilson thought.


    On the side, J rolled her eyes. Although Felix truly fulfilled his promise like a real man, hecked emotional intelligence—he hade to propose a marriage empty-handed!


    However, Nerissa didn''t care. She knew what kind of person Felix was, and that was enough.


    "Of course, I didn''te empty-handed, Mr. Xavier. This is my gift."


    As Felix pulled out a small wooden box, Zayn almost burst outughing.


    "Hahaha! You really have no respect for the Xaviers! These types of boxes can only hold three pills at most! Even if it''s a high-grade pill, it''ll be less than half of what I gave! Not to mention the other gifts...


    "Besides, that''s my gift for meeting them-yet you''re here to propose marriage? What a joke!"


    His reputation had to be maintained, but his subordinates understood his intentions immediately. They all burst intoughter, purposefully making Felix look bad.


    Wilson''s expression darkened, and he quickly took advantage of the situation. "Felix! Even if there''s an engagement, if you can''t respect the Xaviers, I''ll annul the marriage for my daughter. You can leave."


    Felix nced at the calm Nerissa and smiled confidently. "Why don''t you see what''s inside, Mr. Xavier?"


    Wilson snorted coldly. "Hmph! Does my family even need those high-grade pills from you? You should leave while I still can control my temper! Otherwise, when I get angry, it wouldn''t be easy for you!"


    Such a scene made Zayn extremely happy. He thought Felix was a rival, but it turned out that Felix was just a disappointment. Aside from Felix''s absurd luck in surviving Echo Cavern, he was truly inferior to Zayn in every way.


    In that case, it would''ve been best if Felix had died in Echo Cavern just to avoid this humiliation. Felix ignored the ridicule and opened the box with a dejected expression.


    "Since the three Ascension Pills aren''t worthy of the Xaviers, then it means Nerissa and I are truly not destined to be together. Goodbye..."


    As he turned around, he saw Nerissa trying hard to hold back herughter. It was also the first time she had seen this side of Felix.


    The courtyard fell so silent that a pin drop could be heard. All of a sudden, there was a swoosh, and several people appeared. They were all elders of the Xavier family who had been watching discreetly.


    "Wait a second, my friend."


    "Wait, Felix. Don''t leave so soon!"


    "Hmph! Who''s the culprit driving Felix away?"


    They spoke up one after another. They were all in thete stage of the


    Transcendent Realm. The three Ascension Pills might be able to produce another Transcendent martial artist in their family!


    How powerful would the Xaviers be, then? It would greatly increase their power even if they weren''t breaking through With another chance obtain the Ascension Pills, a breakthrough could be achieved in


    vern


    the future.


    Only a fool would miss such an opportunity!


    Wilson was stunned. He never would''ve thought someone like Felix could pull out


    Ascension Pills—and three of them at that! It was truly unbelievable.


    Simrly, Zayn''s smile froze. He couldn''t believe that it was true.


    It was the Ascension Pills Felix was talking about Even to the royal family, Ascension Pills were


    extremely rare. When they received one, it was distributed among е


    seniority or awarded to those who had made great contributions.


    Even Zayn himself couldn''t gain one-but Felix brought out three!
