“This isn’t something for you to worry about! When it comes to Lone Paragon, even those old recluses will send their prized disciples or family members. If Zack doesn’t go, who else will stand a chance? Now leave.”
As a new day dawned, Felix made his usual round at the clinic before heading over to Floral Wreath Boutique.
“Billy, are you signing up for the upcoming Dragonia Martial Arts Competition?”
Unexpectedly, Billy shook his head, saying, “I’m not a martial artist, so why the hell would I join?”
Hearing that, Felix’s expression turned strange, wondering why he claimed not to be a martial artist. Then again, Billy had always been hard to figure out.
“Well, it’s a relief that you’re not joining,” Felix said. He had confidence in taking on anyone, except for Billy. This guy was too mysterious, and his methods were downright bizarre.
“Felix, are you serious about what you mentioned last night?”
Felix nodded. “Yeah, I already got Melissa’s consent. Didn’t you also give her a protective talisman? That should ensure nothing goes wrong.”
The matter in question was about letting the Fish Men take Melissa if they showed up again. Felix hadn’t forgotten what Kendrick had said at the cathedral in Guneria.
The Fish Men most likely carried a piece of the Dragonspine. While it felt underhanded to use Melissa as bait, Felix had gotten her agreement beforehand, and with the protective talisman Billy provided, it was worth the gamble. He didn’t know how else he was supposed to locate them.
“But how can you be sure the Fish Men will show up in the next few days?”
After some thought, Felix replied, “I can’t be certain, but with the Dragonia Martial Arts Competition approaching, they might make a move. It’s worth a shot.”
The last time the Fish Men abducted Melissa, they didn’t harm her but sold her at the Obsidian Auction to trade for something they needed. It was clear that they had their own agenda.
If Melissa showed up at the clinic again, there was a high likelihood they’d come after her. Additionally, with the Dragonia Martial Arts Competition happening, the odds seemed even higher.
As soon as Felix stepped outside, his phone rang. The caller ID showed an unfamiliar number.
“Who is this?”
“Hello, Felix.”
Felix chuckled when he heard her voice. “Naomi? It’s rare for you to reach out.”
Gerald had just mentioned that Naomi would be contacting him.

“Yeah, I was planning to visit you, but I have some things to take care of here. Can you come to me instead?”
Since it was his fellow apprentice asking for help, Felix couldn’t say no. “Sure. No problem.”
“Oh, and when you come, bring a luxury car and one million dollars in cash. Don’t forget that, okay?”
A luxury car and cash? Felix’s expression turned odd, but he didn’t ask any questions. “Alright. I’ll make it happen.”
Naomi was known for her gentle nature and kind heart. Unlike his other fellow apprentices, she was down–to–earth. Even back in Eden Village, she rarely spoke much and always carried a quiet warmth about her.
“Billy, I’m heading out for a bit. This is a Windseeker Pill. If the Fish Men show up, call Selmer and use. this to track him down. Capture them alive and wait for me to get back.”
Taking the Windseeker Pill, Billy stared at him. “You’re giving me orders now?”
Felix was annoyed. If he hadn’t realized how tricky and dangerous the Fish Men were after meeting Pierre, he’d have left it to Selmer alone. However, with Billy joining in, the chances of success were much higher.
“Cut the nonsense. I’ll owe you a favor.”
Billy grinned. “Aw, you don’t have to be so uptight about it. It’s only expected that friends help each other. Anyway, since you insist, you now owe me a favor.”
