Gabriel's words caught Zachary's attention.

Zachary scoffed. "What a joke! A cripple with a big mouth. I wasn't caled to be set of guy like you."

He took a drag from his cigarette and waved his hand dismissively "Take out his after les Maybe then he'll understand the kind of attitude he should have when taking is me*

Even Felix found Gabriel's claim about Xena a bit exaggerated, the he was just aging scare them off.

As one of Zachary's henchmen stepped forward to carry out the coder Feit moved in front of Gabriel.

"This is a transaction, not an extortion. You're free to leave if you don't want to buy There's no need for violence."

Without waiting for Zachary's order, the man threw a pin at Fain. They were used bullying others with Zachary, and anyone who dared to stand up to them had to be ready t face the consequences.

A dull thud echoed through the room. Felix stood unharmed, while the attacker few out the door, landing heavily on the ground. He twitched a couple of times before going compierely motionless. Zachary scowled and turned to Dora. "Dora, are you sure you want to pick a fight with me? Think about the consequences."

Dora quickly waved her hands. "Don't look at me! I don't know him. I swear

Zachary was satisfied with her response, and he tumed his attention back to Felix. "YouTE got two choices. Either get on your knees and beg for forgiveness, then cripple one of your arms, or you and your family will face a miserable fate. None of you will be spared." The fact that he was already threatening Felix's family so casually showed bow line regard the Xanthos family had for others.

"Get lost!" Felix's response was short and to the point.

The remaining middle-aged man was worried that if Felix lost control and hurt Zachary, the consequences would be disastrous. It was better to retreat for now.

So, he whispered to Zachary, "Mr. Xanthos, this guy is strong. We shouldn't risk it rightnoveldrama

now."

Zachary glared at Felix for a long moment before grinding his cigarette butt into the floor." We'll settle this later!"

As Zachary left, Dora looked worried. "Honestly, I hope you've got some hidden skills up your sleeve. Your combat abilities alone aren't enough to take on the Xanthos family." Felix shrugged it off and turned back to Gabriel, who spoke coldly, "Don't think I'm grateful just because you solved this problem. The Veilflower isn't meant for you. Leave now."

Felix was not about to give up. If he could get the Veilflower, he would only need one more item to wake Curtis up. "I said you could name any price. At least give me a chance."

Seeing that this would not be resolved quickly and that she would not be much of a help, Dora chimed in, "Felix, I'm heading out. I need to report what happened to my dad. You know how it is with these powerful families. Don't say I didn't do my part!" "Alright. You go ahead," Felix replied.

Perhaps because Felix had shown honor and followed the rules, Gabriel angrily pointed at something and said, "Fine! Can you make me normal again, like a regular person?"

His arm and leg were not just injured. They were completely gone. Even the most skilled doctor would not be able to help. Gabriel was clearly trying to make Felix give up.

"If that's what you want, sure. Give me a day. I'll need to go to the hospital morgue to find suitable limbs for you."
