Finally, Dora made up her mind. "Let's do this, Dora, have never gambled once in But this time, I'll go crazy with you!"noveldrama
my
life.
Just as she finished speaking, three cars suddenly appeared, blocking the road both in front and behind. Dora was forced to slam on the brakes.
"Are they out of their minds? Who dares block my car?"
But the next moment, she saw the license plates and immediately knew she was in trouble.
"Damn! It's my dad's car."
Sure enough, the door of the Rolls-Royce opened, and a middle-aged man stepped out. Right beside him was her brother, Sam.
"Damn it! It was Sam. He must have ratted me out."
Dora turned to Felix with a pitiful expression. "Felix, can you come down with me? Otherwise, my dad will definitely kill me this time. Please help me explain."
Felix sighed. He did owe Dora a favor for helping him earlier, so doing her this small favor was no big deal. "Alright."
After they stepped out of the car, the middle-aged man's expression softened slightly when he saw them. "So, you must be Felix. You're indeed a promising young man. You're so powerful at such a young age. I've never seen anything like it."
The higher someone's status was, the more they understood the importance of martial artists, which was why Franklin greeted him so courteously.
"Don't flatter me, Mr. Clarkson. Dora wasn't going with me. She was already getting out of the car," Felix said.
After shooting a stern glance at his daughter, Franklin continued, "Let's be honest, Felix. Let me give you some advice. Don't act impulsively. I know the Clarkson and the Xanthos families are among the so-called elite, but there's still a significant gap between us. "The Xanthos family's martial arts masters are not the people you can easily handle."
From his perspective, Felix seemed like a reckless and overly confident young man, thinking he could conquer the world with his fists alone.
"Thank you for your advice, Mr. Clarkson. But if I don't deal with this trouble now, it v. only become worse later."
With someone as arrogant as Zachary, there was no chance of dealing with things
rationally.
"Alright. It seems like you have made up your mind. But please understand why I can't let Dora get involved. All the best!"
An extravagant family banquet was taking place at the Xanthos residence. Nearly every important member of the Xanthos family was present. 1
The reason? It was because Bradley, who was also the cousin of the Xanthos family's patriarch, Benedict Xanthos, was back.
In this world, almost everyone was practical. It was just a matter of how phony someone could go. In elite families like these, such attitudes were even more blatant. If Bradley weren't the commander of the Phoenix Legion, he certainly wouldn't receive such grand treatment. "Brad, it's been a while since we had a meal together. If I hadn't said I was sick, you'd probably still be avoiding me, right?" Benedict teased.
Bradley sighed. "Work has been keeping me busy, Ben. I'll drink as an apology."
Belle's arrest, along with everything that happened in the Phoenix Legion that day, had left Bradley stressed. He just wanted to drink to escape the hassle for a bit.
At that moment, Zachary approached, raising his glass. "Uncle Bradley, let me offer you a toast."
After they finished their drinks, Zachary didn't leave.
He smiled and said, "I saw the Phoenix Legion mobilize their teams to arrest someone today. Do you know about it, Uncle Bradley? Honestly, I can never get enough of witnessing the grandeur of the Phoenix Legion in action." Bradley frowned. "Who did they arrest? I wasn't in Yartford today."
Bradley wasn't there? Zachary had intended to leave it at that, but his curiosity about Felix's fate got the better of him. If Felix were sentenced to death, it would save him a lot of trouble.
"Uncle Bradley, could you help me ask around? They arrested someone named Felix Zeller. Judging by the scale of the operation, it seemed like a serious matter. A friend of mine is really curious about what happened."
The next moment, Bradley stood up abruptly. "Who did you say they have arrested?"
