A figure was darting down in the mountains surrounding the Great Imperial Sect. The rocks and trees seemed to pose no obstacle, showcasing the person's incredible agility. "Leaving so soon after the show? That's not very polite," a sudden voice called out.
The figure halted, peering into the darkness at the person blocking their path.
It was Felix, of course. He was curious about this hidden observer who had not interfered or shown any killing intent throughout the events.
Felix sniffed the air and chuckled. "Ah, that perfume. Still planning to stay silent?"
As the clouds parted and moonlight returned, Felix could make out the silhouette of a woman in tight-fitting dark clothes. When she removed her veil, Felix sighed.
"It really is you, Yvonne," he said. The mention of Chanel perfume had made him suspect her identity.
Even without their passionate night together, he had grown familiar with her scent during their encounters. After all, she had once told him she only wore Chanel perfumes.
"I didn't think you'd notice my presence," Yvonne replied, her face a mix of emotions.
The night's events had revealed many of Felix's secrets, leaving her mind reeling. As Felix approached, Yvonne remained calm, her eyes fixed on him.
"Tell me, Yvonne. Grandpa wouldn't support someone as young as you with such incredible martial arts skills and the position of Stellar Group's president without good reason.'
Felix had been suspicious since learning of Yvonne's role at Stellar Group but had not found the right moment to ask.
Meanwhile, Yvonne remained calm despite his accusation. "When I revealed my position as president, I wasn't planning to keep up that lie," she explained. Felix realized she must have mastered some unique technique that had hidden her martial arts abilities from him. Clearly, her skills were far from weak. "Yvonne, do you have any ill intentions toward me? Please look me in the eyes when you answer," Felix requested.
Their eyes met, and Yvonne, with nothing to hide, replied without hesitation, "No."
Satisfied, Felix left without further questions.noveldrama
Yvonne lingered for a moment, biting her lower lip. "I wonder how Miss would react if she knew about Felix. I should go back and figure out how to explain this."
When Felix returned home, he found Jack waiting in the living room. Overwhelmed with guilt, Felix began, "Jack, I-'
To his surprise, Jack rushed over and embraced him, saying, "I'm just glad you're okay." Then, he punched Felix in the chest. "Don't you dare apologize! That's what friendship is about-sharing the good times and the bad. Did you think I'd enjoy the perks of your status and then abandon you when things got tough? I'm not that selfish."
Felix was touched by Jack's loyalty, noting the stark contrast between his reaction and Warren's.
"But seriously, man, you could've at least assigned me a secret bodyguard or something." Jack joked. "I'm not married yet. If I got kidnapped and kicked the bucket, that'd seriously suck."
Felix could not help but laugh. "I was planning to have someone protect you anyway. You're pretty much the only person I truly care about now."
