Felix’s voice was as flat as ever. “Well, looks like you’ve got some luck on your side, Theon.”

Theon frowned and asked, “What are you talking about?”

Felix didn’t answer directly but just forwarded a video from StarNet’s trending headlines. “Haven’t you seen it? It’s about your beloved Nyx–seems like her mental power’s pretty strong

The video started recording when the female and her two sons were in the middle of an argument, and it only stopped when the Supervision Office showed up. It captured the whole interaction between Nyx and the black mamba.

It was all over the StarNet now–bigger than the Jade Garden incident. Hundreds of billions of people had watched it.

People were raving about Nyx, calling her like a fairy tale sprite–pretty, kind, and brave. Some even speculated that she had some kind of special vibe around her that could soothe out–of–control males.

Most, though, just thought it was a lucky coincidence, that she just happened to avoid being bitten because of her sheer luck.

Hardly anyone thought about mental soothing because everyone knew only one method worked for that, which was mating.

But Felix, with his seasoned eyes and vast experience, didn’t buy into the luck explanation. He’d gotten intel from the Supervision Office that Theon’s Loss of Control Index had dropped to 70.

Putting two and two together, he started making a guess: Nyx’s mental power might be about to awaken, and she might be not just at A–level.

Felix’s conclusion matched what the researchers at the Supervision Office were speculating. “She might hit S–level or even SS–level. She could be the strongest female with mental power the empire has seen in centuries or even ever,” Felix said, his voice calm but sharp.

With that kind of power, she wouldn’t even need to use the usual methods to soothe males down.

Felix let out a small, almost amused chuckle and teased, “Looks like luck’s falling right into your lap, Theon. You’re her guardian. You’ve got the upper hand. Otherwise, if she awakens $-level mental power, you won’t even stand a chance to be her spouse.”

Nyx awakened, she’d be a treasure no one could ignore. Theon, young as he was, wasn’t even in the same league as the real power players.
