Felix stood up from the ground, clutching his chest and enduring the pain. Watching Edmund's back, he was deeply shocked. Felix had initially believed that although Edmund had some power, he was at a relative disadvantage by opposing the Eight Great Families.
In such a situation, Edmund would certainly appreciate every cultivator willing to join him and work for him. Felix had chosen to join Edmund at this time to gain his favor, thinking that by having a dual identity, he could benefit from both sides.
However, Edmund has finally revealed his ambition. Felix, who was very skilled at understanding others' thoughts, had not seen through Edmund in the past. Now, he finally realized that Edmund's kindness was just an illusion. He merely saw Felix as a pawn.
Tonight, if Felix completed Edmund's wish by using a trick to remove Babbit, the head of the Reyne family, then from now on, with Edmund in control of the Reyne family, he would have no more enemies in Buck Town.
By then, Felix would become Edmund's greatest enemy. Edmund would not be treating him better but would instead choose to kill him to keep the secret.
The seemingly benevolent Edmund was, in reality, a hypocrite with a sinister heart. Just like Babbit, Edmund had ambitions. Felix felt exhausted maneuvering between these two, lowered his head, and said softly, "Yes, my Lord. I will go now."
Felix took the Dark Mask and left the basement, his figure blending into the darkness. Meanwhile, inside the Reyne family mansion, in a secret chamber, Babbit was pacing back and forth, anxiously waiting.
Although the Reyne family would benefit regardless of whether this plan succeeded, deep down, Babbit still hoped Felix would succeed this time, as no one would want to miss out on eight thousand years of cultivation.
The danger the Reyne family faced was not just the power suppression from Edmund. In fact, the root problem was the internal conflicts within the four major families. Once Edmund was killed, these conflicts would inevitably erupt.
