Chapter 619 

When Felix returned to Canraville, Averill had already left. He woke up from a deep, satisfying nap at sunset. 

Just then, Xena arrived at his house. 

Felix asked, “Weren’t you supposed to stay in Yartford for a few days?”

Xena’s expression was grim as she explained, “We discovered traces of human trafficking in Canraville. Though we only found about a dozen children at the scene, headquarters takes these cases very seriously and wants a thorough investigation, so I came back immediately.” 

Felix feigned ignorance and responded with anger, “Human traffickers? Those bastards deserve to die.” 

Xena studied Felix’s face carefully. “Are you sure you don’t know anything about this?” 

“Why would I know anything?” Felix asked, puzzled. 

Xena leaned forward, noting that Felix’s breathing and eyes remained steady. “The bodies showed evidence of acupuncture needles, and we can confirm they were tortured before death.” 

Felix’s expression turned wry. “Just because acupuncture needles were involved, you suspect me? Should I provide an alibi for last night?” 

Xena replied, “That’s not what I meant. Whoever did this was well–prepared. 

“The surveillance cameras within several blocks of the crime scene were destroyed, leaving us with no leads. I need you to take a look at the bodies and see if the marks give you any clues.” 

The surveillance footage had been handled by Flair at Felix’s request. If Nancy’s car had not been involved, such precautions would not have been necessary, but Felix could not risk having Nancy brought in for questioning. 

“Sure. If you’re asking, I won’t refuse. Let’s go, Felix agreed. 

After examining the bodies at the Wolfie Troops‘ base, Felix offered Xena an apologetic smile. “Sorry that I couldn’t be of much help.” 

Xena looked disappointed but nodded. Before they could leave, Alistair rushed over. 

He reported, “Lady Summers, Martial Alliance just reported that Polaris was attacked by a mysterious person this morning. 16 people are dead, and the Supreme Elder of Polaris, Yates Jordan, is severely injured. They couldn’t even see the attacker’s face. 

Xena’s expression darkened at this news. Even though Martial Alliance was already

“Alistair, Felix is an outsider. Don’t discuss sensitive information in front of him,” Zena
