"In that case, our partnership during the probationary period is officially established, Miss Vanessa," Felix said, extending his hand to Vanessa.
After a moment of hesitation, she took his hand.
"Indeed... Lord Felix, let us work together diligently."
Initially, Vanessa had considered the "probationary period" to be totally unnecessary, but now, she was beginning to see it as a good thing.
If Felix turned out to be incompetent, she could at least abandon the partnership after the probationary period, preventing her life from being indefinitely intertwined with his.
However, after shaking hands with Felix, Vanessa's doubts about him were somewhat allayed.
In her previous impression, Felix should have been a delicate pretty boy, but when she touched his hand, she almost thought she had grasped a rock.
Felix's hand was not only rough but also very solid, which was not something a pretty boy could have.
Without exaggeration, Vanessa felt that Felix's hand was even more rugged and weathered than that of the cavalry team's leader, Garvit.
"Did I hurt you?" Felix asked, noticing her reaction.
"Ah..no," Vanessa said, collecting herself. "It's nothing."
She quietly tucked away the signed agreement, feeling a bit more confident about Felix.
.
Having established the agreement, Vanessa immediately started discussing the next steps with Felix.
The first thing she wanted to understand was Felix's background, which would greatly assist her in devising a supporting strategy.
"Lord Felix, the security of information cannot be underestimated..."
Vanessa hinted with her eyes that Heloise was still in the room.
Felix indicated that it was okay and told Vanessa outright that Heloise was on their side.
— (On our side...?)
— (Well... if you say so, then I have no choice...)
— (But...)
— (AHHHHH... I really want to know what the relationship between Heloise and Felix is!)
Vanessa acted nonchalantly on the surface, but she was going crazy inside.
She really wanted to know about the relationship between Felix and Heloise. She was so curious that she almost bit her nails!
To Vanessa, Garvit was still acceptable, but this Heloise might become a big problem!
However, Vanessa didn't want to lose her dignity in front of Felix, so she decided to find an opportunity to meet Heloise in private, to investigate her background and intentions.
"Then, Lord Felix, you may start. I'm ready to take notes," Vanessa said, taking out paper and pen. She was extremely serious about supporting the Dragon Shadow.
.
Felix told Heloise that he didn't know who his mother was.
By the time he became conscious, he was already living in a church. The church had taken in many orphans, and Felix was one of them.
The only thing that could prove his identity was a red gemstone necklace.
Later, someone from the royal family found the church and established contact with young Felix through the clergy.
After that, people started to come regularly to teach young Felix, and he gradually learned about his identity as a "Dragon Shadow" and about the existence of the "Hidden Dragon" organization.
Felix's first partner was a man who always wore a mask. He taught Felix many things, including life, knowledge, and combat.
"Unfortunately, until he died, I never knew his name or saw his true face under the mask," Felix said.
Listening to Felix's story, Vanessa was deeply moved.
The fate of most of those who serve the Dragon Shadow as her, was just like the masked man Felix mentioned.
Those who serve the Dragon Shadow:
In life, they accompany the shadow;
In death, they are buried in the shadow;
Their everything, can only be silent.
However, Vanessa would not let herself be one of them. She was determined to achieve a brilliant life through serving the Dragon Shadow!
.
"Then... where is your red gemstone necklace now?" Vanessa asked.
"I've hidden it," Felix replied, much to Vanessa's satisfaction.
If Felix had naively taken out his red gemstone necklace at this moment, it would confirm that he was a hopeless case.
"Very well, what are your plans now?"
When it came to plans, Felix was straightforward, revealing his intentions without reservation.
In the long run, in order to gain the recognition of the King of Wester, Felix must continuously enhance his power from two dimensions: "personal ability" and "individual power".
In the short term, his primary goal was to challenge the "Labyrinth: Aqua Nest" and achieve results.
"In that case... you must be fighting for a team leader position, right?" Vanessa asked hesitantly.
"I won't compete with Wallace of the Azure Lizard for the team leader position. My principle is not to make unnecessary enemies."
"Do you mean you want to compete for the team leader position in the second round?"
Felix looked at Vanessa, and his sharp gaze made Vanessa feel as if she had been seen through.
"Vanessa, if you want the honor of being a team leader, you can compete for the team leader in the second round," Felix said.
In fact, Vanessa's thoughts had indeed been seen through. She couldn't believe it. Did Felix have the ability to read minds?
"Eh... it's not... not good, is it?" Vanessa stammered.
"There's nothing wrong with it. Since we are in the same boat, it doesn't matter who becomes the team leader... If you have difficulty challenging the arena master, I can let Garvit take the position of the arena master first, and then deliberately lose to you," Felix said.
Felix's words hit the nail on the head. Vanessa felt guilty for thinking Felix was a fool earlier... Felix was absolutely the most worthy Dragon Shadow to follow!
Thus, Vanessa and Felix established a short-term strategy.
After that, they would try to minimize their meetings as much as possible to prevent others from discovering their relationship.
·
"God's messenger... I didn't expect the whirlpool of destiny in your life to be so profound," Heloise said, looking at Felix with a somewhat dazed expression.
She wasn't very good at thinking about these complex issues.
"Is that so? I'm used to it," Felix replied with a smile, taking it lightly.
As for the current situation, Tyler was somewhat surprised.
However, even though he had told several almost irreconcilable lies, Tyler didn't think there would be any major problems.
Next, he would even let Garvit know about his identity as the illegitimate son of the King of Wester, and thus his identity in this new small group would be officially established.
Tyler had a wicked theory that as long as a lie is not exposed, it is the truth.
Moreover, since Vanessa, Heloise, and Garvit all had deep trust in him, even if there were any flaws, they would actively help him fill in the problems.
All Tyler needed to do was to make good use of his mind-reading skill and continue to play this dangerous balancing act on the cliff.
As for how to end this "Lie Drama", Tyler already had an idea in his heart.
In this Prison Star world where strength is revered, as long as his strength is strong enough, what identity can he not have?
"Helolo, get ready, let's go and talk to 'Ice Polesta ·Sheryl'."
The old crisis had passed, and Tyler was about to make a move for the next stage's new goal.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
