"Mr. Commingham! Are we really going to Brix Xena? that fine?"

The deputy set leader, who was arrogant and she of Xena, now appeared worried

After all, while his seniority might allow him to great her this way, Xena's identity as the goddess of wat was a whole different matter.

"Exactly, Mr. Cunningham. Xena is the goddess of war, and if Hector gets involved, we're in serious trouble."

In Dragonia, were there sects that dared to defy the Warlord of the East openly? Yes. But the Great Imperial Sect was definitely not one of them. The authority of the Warlord of the East wasn't just an empty title. However, Jaxon didn't seem concerned.

"There's no need to worry! We'll just say that Xena was deep into her cultivation and returned to the Great Imperial Sect to go into seclusion. Even the Warlord of the East won't interfere."

The crowd's eyes brightened. This plan was clever! Xena was a member of the Great Imperial Sect, so it would make sense for her to return to seclude herself for cultivation.

Moreover, they were only keeping her under the best conditions, so there was no

mistreatment. This plan was sure to work.

"Once we've dealt with Felix and that woman, we can offer up someone for Xena to take back with her. It'll give her something to report."

With that, their attention turned to how they would kill Felix.

The second elder, Martín, stood up and said, "Mr. Cunningham, I'll bring Felix here."

Given his close relationship with Olly, the sixth elder, it was no surprise that he volunteered.

To everyone's surprise, Jaxon shook his head and said in a serious tone, "No, you can't. What if that mysterious woman is still lurking in the shadows? You've heard what Xena said. She instantly killed Olly and one of Inferno Clan's top assassins. What could we possibly achieve if you went alone?"

The room fell into silence. If Xena wasn't lying, it proved that the woman's strength was at least on par with the deputy sect leader. Sending an elder-level fighter would be no different than sending them to their death.

"Here's what we'll do. We will investigate the matter first. Then, bring someone close to Felix here as a guest of the Great Imperial Sect. We should follow the principle of not involving family members, but we're left with no choice now. Once everything is settled. we'll send that person back with compensation

It didn't take much thought to realize that Jaxon's strategy was the wisest and safest long as Felix came to the Great Imperial Sect, no matter how powerful the woman behind him was, she would be forced to retreat. It was far safer than sending people to assassinate him in Avesburgh.

At the airport at Avesburgh, Felix, who had just seen Madeline off at security check, was about to leave when someone stopped him.

"Felix, what a coincidence! Since I've run into you, I don't have to go looking for you."

Felix frowned as he looked at the woman in front of him. It was Ruth, Sasha's close friend. She hadn't shown up in a while, probably because she had learned about his relationship with Kane. But now, why was she acting so arrogant again? "Do I know you that well?"

Ruth smirked and crossed her arms.

"Oh, keep pretending! Do you think we're deaf? Don't you know that Kane has left Avesburgh? Your support is gone now, so what are you so smug about?"

Felix had ignored her before because she was unimportant, but if she kept pushing, he wouldn't hold back.

"So, what do you plan to do now that my support is gone?"

Ruth sneered, "Ha! I thought you'd never admit defeat!"
