Yasmin said, “Dr. Zeller, I know it’s a lot to ask. If it’s too troublesome, we can forget about it.”
Felix was about to refuse immediately, but the mention of Wealthhealth Pharmaceuticals piqued his interest. Since the vice president was involved, he thought he might be able to infiltrate the company and find John after disguising himself.
“Sure, I’ve got nothing else going on anyway,” Felix agreed, which made Yasmin beam with joy as she repeatedly thanked him.
At that moment, Felix decided to tell Yasmin that his current identity was inconvenient once they reached the restaurant. After donning the Shadow Mask, he could dine as another medical expert without issues.
However, just as they parked the car and Felix was about to speak, his phone buzzed with a text from an unknown number.
“Felix, it’s John Reynolds. I know you’re in Guneria, and I know how desperately you’ve been trying to find me. Here’s your chance–come to this location tomorrow night. Of course, I’ll understand if you’re too scared to show up.”
Felix smiled to himself, surprised that John was actually bold enough to contact him directly. It seemed like John had prepared thoroughly to ensure Felix would remain in Guneria.
Even so, Felix was unfazed. Having recently processed another Dragonspine, he felt invincible and was not concerned about any threats. Since John was brave enough to reach out, it would save him the trouble of complicated plots.
“Let’s head up,” Felix said, no longer bothering to change his identity to meet the vice president since John already knew he was in Guneria.
He figured he could deal with John tomorrow night and then focus on his mission without
distractions.
The rooftop restaurant was breathtaking, with floor–to–ceiling windows offering stunning views of the city’s nightscape. Foreigners typically preferred dining in open spaces, such as the grand halls of places like Dragonia Hotel, so this setup felt perfectly natural.
After Felix and Yasmin had been seated for a while, a young man approached their table and said, “Ms. Qualls, I apologize, but my father had an emergency and couldn’t make it.”
Yasmin was visibly displeased—as the general manager of Qualls Pharmaceutical, being greeted by the son of Wealthhealth Pharmaceuticals‘ vice president felt like an insult.
“Is that so? How unfortunate,” Yasmin replied flatly.
The dinner lasted less than an hour before she made an excuse for her and Felix to leave, having shown more courtesy than the situation deserved.
“How dare Wealthhealth Pharmaceuticals show such disrespect! This is outrageous,” Yasmin

fumed. Nothing short of a major crisis would justify a last–minute cancellation for such a high -level business dinner.
“I suspect the vice president planned this. Did you notice how his son couldn’t take his eyes off you? Seems like an attempted matchmaking scheme,” Felix observed.
Yasmin scoffed, clearly thinking the young man was not worthy of her attention.
As they turned onto the street, Felix’s expression suddenly changed. He had detected the unmistakable presence of Dragonspine, which was shocking since they were abroad.
Gerald had always said that only Dragons Destroyers who had processed Dragonspine could travel freely with it—it was supposedly impossible to transport it out of Dragonia. Yet, the energy signature felt absolutely real
As he pondered this mystery, Felix spotted a car speeding past them and shouted, “Follow that car!”
