At that moment, Yvonne's expression suddenly became complex, as if she had something difficult to say. This piqued Felix's curiosity even more, making him wonder if the situation was not as simple as it seemed.

"Y-You just need to kneel before me and slap yourself twice. Then your Dragon Alliance status will be restored tomorrow," Yvonne stated, looking relieved after speaking,noveldrama

Yvonne figured her boss wanted to test Felix's pride and character as a man, but she could not understand why the kneeling had to be directed at her. Either way, whether Felix agreed or refused, whatever good impression he had of her would probably evaporate.

Sure enough, Felix furrowed his brows and stared at Yvonne, making her nervous. He replied, "Yvonne, I didn't realize you were into that kind of thing. Thanks for trying to solve my problem! A man kneels to no one else except his mentor or seniors. Sorry, but that's a hard pass!"

With that, Felix went inside, leaving Yvonne standing there alone. She bit her lip as if she had suddenly lost something important.

In truth, someone else would have done as asked. After all, kneeling and slapping yourself was nothing compared to the status of being a Dragon Alliance member. To put it into perspective, many would have lined up to do much worse if offered 100 thousand dollars. Sometimes, pride was just a word. If Felix was not Gerald's apprentice, he might not have cared much about his dignity, either. However, given his skills and position, he had no reason to degrade himself.

As he sat on the couch, Felix decided to call Dora.

"Humph! You jerk, I thought you weren't going to talk to me anymore," she answered.

Felix spoke sternly, "Cut the chit-chat. How did you know about the Veilflower?"

"Wendy told me, of course. The more people involved, the more leads we get. See? I got the information right away. Aren't you happy?" Dora replied.

Felix smiled, realizing that even though Wendy had left Avesburgh, she had helped him once again. "The Veilflower is indeed important to me. Name your price. What do I need to do for you to tell me?" he asked. Dora was overjoyed, realizing that this information was precious to Felix. "It's simple. Marry me, and everything I have will be

yours.

"Try again. And remember. My patience is limited," Felix warned.

Dora pouted. "You're no fun at all. Fine. Since Sam offended you last time, I'll tell you. But I hope that if my family ever needs help, you'll lend a hand."

Felix agreed without hesitation. "Deal!"

As the sun set, Felix and Dora arrived at an abandoned school on the outskirts of Avesburgh. Felix frowned as he surveyed the area. Except for the light from the school's guardhouse, the surroundings had an eerie, deserted feel. "Are you sure this is the place?"

"Of course! I'm not senile. They said there's a guy working as a security guard here, watching over the school's assets. He should be in the guardhouse," Dora retorted.

According to Dora, one of her family members had invested in a vacation resort out of town and overheard a local villager mention the Veilflower. After receiving 500 thousand dollars, the person spilled the details.

They had discovered Veilflower on a mountain, but the person's uncle, who was based in Avesburgh, had also been searching for it. He had arranged to have it shipped to him, and getting this location cost another half a million dollars.

In total, they had spent a million dollars on the Veilflower before even getting their hands on it, demonstrating the lengths people would go to obtain such a rare herb. Since the door was already open, they walked right in. It was Dora's first time seeing someone with missing limbs.
