Xena couldn't believe her eyes. Ivan had gone out to welcome the miracle doctor, and there was no way the Cameron family would get something so important wrong, Didn't this mean that Felix was the miracle doctor?

How could that be? Felix was so young, and the legends about the miracle doctor had already been around for decades. The timeline didn't match up.

Winston was similarly confused. Who the hell was this guy that Ivan had brought in? Based on his looks alone, he couldn't be the miracle doctor.

Felix didn't expect to see Xena around. He frowned when he saw her. "Why are there outsiders around?"

Ivan didn't dare say anything-he knew he was bound to upset someone, no matter what he said. More importantly, he couldn't afford to offend any of the people present.

Having outsiders around after summoning the miracle doctor with the Miracle Card was against the rules. Xander had been present at the Kinsley residence, but that was fine because he was also a healer.

"An outsider?" Xena was already upset to see Felix. His words only set her alight. "You're just afraid of me.

"I thought you'd gotten a proper job at Luxe Dining, but it looks like you've ultimately decided to become a conman. You even have the nerve to pretend to be the miracle doctor! Do you have the skills for that?" Winston hurriedly turned to her. "Do you know him, milady?"

"I wouldn't say that. I've met him before and only know that he's an average doctor from a tiny clinic in the countryside," Xena sald, her face devoid of emotion.

"The Cameron family is considered reputable in Avesburgh, and it's rather ridiculous that you haven't seen through his schemes."

With that, she got into the car and left. She'd been filled with hope before this, but all she'd gotten was Felix, the worthless piece of trash who didn't know his place. How could she possibly linger?

As for how Felix had managed to trick Winston and where he'd found the nerve to forge the Miracle Card, those weren't things she cared about. As Dragonia's first goddess of war, her time was precious. She couldn't continue wasting it there with them. Once she was gone, Winston's expression turned ugly. "How could you get something so simple wrong, you scoundrel? How could you pick up the wrong person? Have you lost all your brain cells?"
