Felix's face remained expressionless. But truthfully, he was caught off guard.

This was something he had instructed Kane to handle. Kane must have been very confident for him to take full responsibility without involving the chief of Oasis Clinic. Yet it had somehow gone wrong.

Combined with Belle's earlier words, it seemed someone had interfered. They clearly did not care about Kane's involvement. Felix took out his phone and called Kane.

""Mr. Zeller."

"Velocis Ventures wasn't chosen by Stellar Group as their business partner."

What? On the other end, Kane felt like he had been hit by a bomb and instantly broke into a cold sweat. The consequences of this were extremely serious. If Felix thought he was being toyed with, Kane's life would definitely be in danger. "Mr. Zeller, I... I really don't know. I..."

"Who did you talk to?"

Felix was a reasonable person. From his interactions with Kane recently, he knew Kane was loyal to Dragon Alliance. So naturally, he would not dare defy Felix, the Dragon Lord. There must be some strange circumstances at play.

"I spoke with Joshua, the vice president of Stellar Group. He's leading this event and will be the main person in charge of the project. He really did agree, and securing one slot shouldn't have been difficult for him at all. How could this have gone wrong?" Vice President Joshua?

Felix looked at the young man coming off the stage. He had just been introduced, so Felix knew exactly who Kane meant. Without saying more, Felix hung up.

If they wanted to play dirty, he would crush them publicly.

But as he took a step, Sasha and Nattie blocked his way. "Felix! Feeling guilty and trying to run?"

Nattie pointed at him accusingly. "Getting cocky, are you? You know how well my husband treated you. Is this how you repay his kindness? By making a fool of him?"

Making a fool of him? The words died in Felix's throat. Indeed, given the current situation, it did look like he had made a fool out of Warren on purpose. They were given an invitation but were not selected as one of the five partners. If that was not making a fool of someone, then what was?

Sasha and Nattie made no effort to lower their voices. Many guests overheard them. Such

an incident should have brought security running, but Joshua had already instructed them to stand down. He was eager to watch the show

"How's that? Entertaining enough?"

Belle smirked nearby. She nodded and said, "Indeed, this is even more satisfying than beating Felix up. He's completely humiliated this time, especially with Ms. Summers watching over there."

Sure enough, Xena sat with several important figures on the other side. The sudden commotion naturally caught their attention.

"See that? After this incident, Xena will be utterly disappointed in Felix. Then, when I make him vanish, she won't even bother to ask about it."

Back with Felix, Nattie was truly furious.

"You trash! Scum! Troublemaker! First, you got my daughter kidnapped and nearly ran our company into the ground. And now this? As if not satisfied playing your games in the shadows, you've brought it out in the open? "My husband will never forget this humiliation for the rest of his life!"

Right then, Warren approached, his face ashen. "Enough! Haven't we embarrassed ourselves enough? We're going home!"
