Xena relaxed in that Instant. She'd thought Felix was secretly some powerful medical practitioner if that were the case, she wouldn't have known how to feel about the situation. Now, the secret was out.

She herself was a martial arts master, so she understood what Winston meant. "So, that's what it's like. You have taken the wrong path over the years, so it's no wonder your wife hasn't gotten better. Indeed, that's not something a doctor can cure. Ouly martial artists can do it.

Winston went along with her and said, "Yes, exactly. I didn't expect Mr. Zeller to be a martial arts master at such a young age."

Her gaze turned disdainful. "A master?"

How could ordinary people understand the world of martial arts? Perhaps Felix had actually reached the level of a martial artist, but how powerful could he be?

In her eyes, he'd only gone from being a small-town doctor to a martial artist who wasn't half bad. It didn't make him that much worthier.

"Where's the Miracle Card?" she asked.

"Mr. Zeller has taken it. Since Cheryl has been cured, there was no reason for me not to give it to him. Besides, you should be aware that the Miracle Card is rendered useless once the call has been made, milady," Winston said. Felix had taken the Miracle Card?

Xena stood up without another word. She felt that she now understood the situation-there was probably a tearn

ehind Felix that had long since understood what was wrong with Cheryl. Their ultimate goal for coming here was to get the Miracle Card.

Making a phone call didn't mean the Miracle Card was now useless. It would only be truly rendered worthless when the miracle doctor appeared, saved the patient, and took it back. That meant Felix was now in possession of a genuine Miracle Card. Some time later, a Mercedes-Benz pulled over. Felix got out before getting into a Maserati driven by Wendy. They'd agreed to head to the underground auction together and were still in time for that.

"L... Can I call you Mr. Zeller from now on?" Wendy asked tentatively. She felt beyond uneasy calling Felix by name.

"Yeah," Felix said.

Wendy was happy to hear that. "I've already informed my family to keep an eye out for the herbs you Mr. Zeller. I'll inform you immediately should I hear anything."

Felix nodded. "If you can get even one of those herbs, I'll give you this Miracle Card as compensation."

Wendy gasped at the sight of the Miracle Card. Holy cow-how could those herbs compare to the Miracle Card? The Kinsley family could do so many things if they had the Miracle Card in their possession. "That won't do, Mr. Zeller! I-

"We'll do exactly as I say. Now, drive. I want to get some rest."

Wendy was delighted. Things were going as Vincent had imagined. They were reaping the rewards so soon! If they were to get that Miracle Card and use it at the right time, it would be priceless! Chapter 11

After a few minutes, Felix's phone rang. The number wasn't one he recognized, and he thought it was Gerald calling to assign him more work. He answered in resignation, "What now?"

Then, the voice that rang out on the other end of the line made him roll his eyes. "Felix, it's me. Xena Summers."

He wondered why she was calling him. "I don't think there's for us to talk about."

Xena's haughty and imperious tone made another appearance. "You're right. You've taken Winston's Miracle Card, and I'm sure you haven't given it to the person secretly backing you up yet. Hand it over to me right now, and I'll consider letting you pursue me for some time."
