The sun was setting as Felix returned to Canraville. He had planned to meet Xena, but she had been called to an urgent meeting in Yartford at the last minute. 

Jack called just as he got home. Felix said, “Perfect timing. I just got back and brought some good food. Let’s have a drink.” 

Jack’s voice was hushed. “Buddy, we thought you’d gone off the grid.‘ 

Off the grid? Felix was puzzled. 

“Nancy called you a few times. Why didn’t you pick up?” Jack asked. 

It was true that Nancy had called three times on Felix’s way back. But how could he answer 

her call? The more they interacted, the more pain it would bring her. 

“Are you with Nancy right now?” Felix could tell Jack was probably calling from the bathroom. 

“Yeah, it’s her birthday today. She wanted to invite you.” 

Felix sighed. “Just tell her you couldn’t reach me either. And ask Nessa to stop playing matchmaker. Nancy’s a great girl, but I just can’t.” 

“I understand. Wrong timing, I guess,” Jack relented. 

Just as he hung up, Jeffrey called. “Mr. Zeller, do you have time? A friend of mine is sick. Could you take a look?” 

The Saphira family had been good to Felix, and it was a simple favor. He did not turn Jeffrey down for this reason. “Of course. Just tell me where to meet you.” 

Instead of the Saphira residence, Felix was asked to drop by a suite at a five–star hotel downtown. As Felix approached the hotel, his expression suddenly changed. “There seems to be a Dragonspine here?” he muttered to himself. 

With three pieces already inside him, he could sense others nearby. He had searched all of Canraville, and there should not be another piece here, according to the map. Why was he sensing one now? 

“Did someone remove it from its burial site?” According to Gerald, only the Dragons Destroyer technique could cultivate these Dragonspines. The chances of someone moving one were minimal. 

Lionel’s piece came from an ancient technique that he had happened to come across. Victor, Felix’s birth father, had another, which was understandable given the Greene family’s power. But what was this? 

Despite his promise to Jeffrey, the Dragonspine took priority. Finding it again would be

impossible if it moved beyond his sensing range. Besides, Jeffrey had said his friend was not in critical condition. 

Felix followed the sensation into the hotel and up to the top floor. His brows furrowed when he reached the door. The Dragonspine was inside the same suite Jeffrey had mentioned. It was clear what this meant. 

After ringing the bell, Jeffrey appeared. “Mr. Zeller, thanks for coming.” 

Jeffrey was delighted Felix had arrived so quickly. It made him have a good impression on others. 

“No trouble at all. Where’s the patient?” 

In the living room, a woman stood up. She had a doll–like face that instantly sparked protective instincts. She looked petite and charming as she smiled sweetly. Her two dimples made her seem even more enchanting 

“This is Felix Zeller. Just call him Mr. Zeller, as I do! Felix, this is my friend, Rosalyn Ruby. She’s from the Ruby family–one of the Eight Great Martial Families,” Jeffrey explained.
