However, Felix frowned when he glanced around the room. "Why are there so many people here?" he asked.

Kane was stunned. He hurriedly looked up and said, "My lord, is there... Is there something wrong?"

Felix walked over and took a seat. "Everyone, you may raise your head."

He then looked at Kane and said, "I told you to just bring three chiefs. Why did you bring them all?"

Only three? Kane was startled. He hurried over to retrieve his phone, sweating profusely all over his face. "My lord, you told me to bring them all."

After listening to the voice message, Felix sighed in exasperation. Kane probably didn't pay particularly close attention to the message, and part of it had indeed been drowned out by the harsh speaker sound. So, Kane couldn't be blamed for the mishap. "Whatever. Now listen up, all nine of you. In a while, the goddess of war, Xena Summers, will be coming. I need you to vouch that I'm a member of Dragon Alliance. Understand?"

The chiefs exchanged looks of confusion. Was this all the Dragon Lord wanted them to do? They had thought that they had been gathered for something important. They certainly weren't expecting something menial like this.

In fact, a few of them found it ridiculous. Why did the Dragon Lord still need other people to vouch for him to be a member of Dragon Alliance?

"What's the matter? Is this too much to ask of you?"

It wasn't until Felix suddenly spoke again that the chiefs hurriedly responded in a panic. They didn't dare disobey him.

"As for the rebellion within Dragon Alliance, I will deal with them personally once I'm done settling the tasks I have on hand."

This was Eloise's property, after all, and he had to give the chiefs some sort of reassurance before they thought that the Dragon Lord had abandoned them.

The chiefs rejoiced. With Felix's word, they no longer had to worry about the rebels. They figured that the rebels would very soon regret it

After that, Felix stood up and told the chiefs to act casually. He didn't want Xena to learn about his true identity just yet.

It was only by keeping things as they were that Curtis' decision would seem more genuine

after he woke up. Also, Xena's reactions would then reflect her true emotions as they came from the heart.

After all, they were going to spend the rest of their lives together, and Felix didn't want to do it with someone materialistic who was only staying for his wealth and power.

Felix went to the hotel entrance to wait for Xena. A while later, a woman walked past him, and he suddenly started sniffing the air.

Snakefruit? That scent was unmistakable!

Excitement flickered in his eyes. Snakefruit was one of the ingredients that Curtis needed for his cure. It had a very unique fragrance. Anyone who came near the fruit would get the scent on their body, but it was only detectable by a martial artist's keen sense of smell. Just as Felix was about to go after the woman, Xena suddenly appeared, making Felix forget about his plans. It didn't matter anyway. It wouldn't be hard for him to get information on the woman since she was staying in this hotel. "Let's go."

Felix didn't even properly greet Xena, which ruffled Belle's feathers.

"You!"

Xena held her hand out to stop Belle. She didn't want to make a huge fuss in public and attract too much attention like this.

They entered the presidential suite. Belle couldn't hold back anymore and snapped, "You sure know how to pick a place, Felix Zeller!"

However, she immediately went silent when she saw nine pairs of eyes on her. She suddenly felt a sense of indescribable pressure.

Xena also frowned slightly. She didn't think that there would be so many people present.

But, as she scanned the room, she couldn't stop the waves of shock that consumed her. The nine people in the room matched the profiles she had just seen in the database the night before.

In other words, all nine chiefs from Dragon Alliance were here.
