Olly took out a box and opened it, releasing a unique scent. "This is a snakefruit. I can lend it to you for now. Have your people smell it. You might get some leads."

Xena did not take it. That was because she realized she found the scent oddly familiar. She was certain she had smelled it on someone before. "What's wrong? Does it ring a bell?" Olly asked

As she was snapped out of her thoughts after hearing Olly's question, Xena quickly said, "Not yet. Don't worry, Mr. Davidson. I'll assign more people to investigate this." "Good. Thank you, Xena. He was my disciple after all, and it concerns the reputation of the Great Imperial Sect. We need answers."

After Olly left, Xena suddenly froze. She remembered why the scent was familiar-she had smelled it on Felix. When she shared a bed with Felix last night, she wondered why he smelled so good. She had assumed it was a men's cologne, but now she realized it was the scent of snakefruit.

Since Felix was also a martial artist who was stronger than she had initially thought, it was entirely possible he could have been the one who killed Jayden.

"Milady, what's wrong? What is this thing? The scent is so unique." Belle approached and curiously eyed the snakefruit in the box.

"It's nothing," Xena replied, closing the box. A flicker of uncertainty crossed her eyes as she struggled to decide whether to confront Felix about this.
