Even though Xena was reliable, with the halo of the goddess of war, she insisted on following rules and procedures. They found no signs of foul play in Ted's autopsy. In other words, I was impossible for them to arrest Felix.

How could Perry just sit by and do nothing? His only son was dead. What was the point of making any more money now? At his age, it was impossible to have another child.

So, he used all his connections to find the terrifying Inferno Clan, draining all his savings. Finally, they accepted the job.

Normally, an assassin wouldn't cost much, but Perry wanted an ultimate contract. This meant that even if Felix killed the first assassin, Inferno Clan would keep sending stronger assassins until Felix was dead.

"Felix, I'm waiting for the day you die!

Meanwhile, Felix was drinking with Jack.

"Jack, you'll get drunk soon if you keep drinking like this. Don't you want to talk to me about it?"

Jack kept gulping down one drink after another. His eyes were filled with anger. Something was clearly wrong.

"Is this about the contract with the Kinsley family?"

Shaking his head, Jack took another shot. "No. Ms. Kinsley has given me more than enough. The company has already signed an agreement with me, and a promotion for Joshua is more or less guaranteed. "Honestly, Felix, I'm really grateful for all the help you gave me when my family abandoned me."

Jack was a man, too, and he wanted to prove that he could make it without relying on his family.

"Then, what's the problem?"

With a bitter smile, Jack raised his glass again, but Felix stopped him.

"This is such a humiliating thing. I didn't even want to talk about it, but... Alright. Since I called you out, I guess, deep down, I wanted to vent."

"Trina... my girlfriend, she broke up with me. She said I'm not good enough for her anymore."

Trina broke up with him? Felix was confused. His first impression of Trina was very good.

"She just got a job at Stellar Group. We celebrated together, just the two of us. I told her about how my family had kicked me out, and... Well, turns out, I was an idiot." Felix was surprised.

"You didn't tell her before? Didn't she follow you to Avesburgh?"

Jack shook his head.

"I only told her that my family wanted me to go back to Avesburgh to further my career. I didn't want to bring up the shameful thing. But whatever! I guess this just showed me who she really is. Come on. Let's drink!"

They clinked glasses, and Felix spoke seriously, "Jack, I know you're feeling wronged. Do you want to teach Trina a lesson? You know I have the means to do it."

After all, it was Felix who had helped get her the job in the first place. He had been feeling good about that since.

Jack hesitated for a moment, and then, he got up.

"I need to go to the bathroom. We'll talk more when I get back."

As Jack went to the restroom, Felix had a thought. He took out his phone and sent a voice message to Kane.

"Lord Kane, notify the three chiefs of Dragon Alliance to come to Avesburgh as soon as possible."

However, what Felix didn't know was that right as he was speaking, the bar's sound system let out a loud buzzing noise. This caused Kane to only hear part of the message, which was to notify the chiefs of Dragon Alliance to come to Avesburgh. Kane was ecstatic.

"Oh, my God! Is the Dragon Lord finally restructuring Dragon Alliance? He's gathering all the chiefs at Avesburgh. That's a grand scene that hasn't happened in years!"
