In the big courtyard of Crimson Sage Sect, Felix stood on a raised platform. He was flanked by two sect elders who had clear orders to kill him at any suspicious movement. 

The thunderous sound of helicopter blades grew louder as it approached. Looking up, Felix guessed it must be Xena arriving. 

Even after her phone call with Jaden had proved futile, Xena still came to Crimson Sage Sect in person for Felix’s sake. Whatever Jaden’s plans were, this couldn’t be good. 

As the helicopter landed in the courtyard, Xena emerged alone without any backup. Her eyes immediately found Felix, and she walked straight toward him. 

“You shouldn’t have come,” he said. 

Xena bit her lower lip but kept walking. “I don’t need you telling me what to do. Keep quiet! 

She feared Felix might say something that would further anger the sect members. Regardless of what really happened, they could not deny that a disciple from Crimson Sage Sect was dead. 

As she reached the platform, Jaden blocked her path. “Why are you in such a hurry? Don’t forget that Felix’s fate lies with Crimson Sage Sect now.” 

Xena faced Jaden expressionlessly. “Since I’m finally here, what will it take for you to let Felix go?” 

After reflecting on the past, Xena realized she owed Felix a lot. She had to come whether it was out of gratitude or feelings for him. Staying uninvolved was not an option. 

“Do you really want to save him? At any cost?” Jaden questioned. 

Xena nodded. She glanced at Crimson Sage Sect’s leadership gathered nearby, including Cecil. “Crimson Sage Sect ranks among Dragonia’s top martial arts organizations. Do you really need to stoop to such dirty tricks?” 

The others maintained icy stares, while Cecil responded, “Lady Summers, that’s quite unfair. This man killed one of our own. Should we treat him like an honored guest instead?” 

Whatever the situation, they had to show some respect to Xena because of her status. Some might risk underhanded moves in private, but blatant disrespect was out of the question. 

Zara had also arrived and was standing a short distance behind Xena. She had done her best, so now it was time to see if Silas had been right. 

Seeing the sect’s united front, Xena turned back to Jaden. “Enough empty talk. What do you want?”

Jaden smiled without rushing to answer. He pointed at Felix instead. “Felix, you lucky bastard! Even the great Lady Summers seems willing to sacrifice everything for you. I really don’t understand what makes you so special.”
