Felix fell silent before standing up. “If that’s your decision, then I have nothing more to say.” 

To his surprise, Lionel chuckled. “I was just joking. How could I possibly risk my life for that bone? Go ahead with the treatment.” 

It was all a test to see if Felix truly understood the nature of the bone. Felix hadn’t given away anything, so the Warlord felt reassured.
