After a moment to compose herself, Nyx slowly released her hand from covering Felix’s mouth and took a deep breath.
Before she could speak, Theon’s voice, filled with surprise, suddenly came from the doorway. “Nyx, the physical exam report is out. My Loss of Control Index has dropped to 6.”
Upon seeing the scene in the room, Theon’s voice abruptly stopped. “What are you guys doing?”
Facing Felix’s threatening gaze, Theon didn’t back down. Instead, he quickly walked over to Nyx’s side.
Felix had no choice but to stand up.
The two tall males, who looked strikingly similar, stood in a tense standoff, their eyes locking in a silent battle.
Felix’s exclamation of matron at the ball had not only shocked Nyx but also deeply affected Theon. However, at that time, Theon was so preoccupied with Nyx’s awakening that he didn’t have the mental space to deal with Felix.
It wasn’t until last night, after Nyx had fallen asleep, that Theon finally confronted Felix about it.
The conversation, naturally, didn’t go well. They ended up having a real fight.
Theon vividly remembered Felix’s solemn promise that he wouldn’t compete for Nyx’s favor, that he had no interest in her, and that he wouldn’t take her away from Theon.
Yet, Felix not only admitted to being attracted to her but also publicly declared it on StarNet.
Theon’s worst fears had come true, and he

accepted the reality. But seeing Felix and Nyx alone together, Theon couldn’t help
Their special status made their rivalry even more intense.
Even the usually oblivious lady Nyx could sense the strong jealousy in the air.
She shrank back like a little quail, unsure of what to do.
After a moment of hesitation, she inched closer to Theon, grabbed his sleeve, and whispered, “Show me your physical exam report.”
Theon, feeling Nyx’s favor, albeit not very obvious, immediately softened his expression.
Felix was left standing there in silence.
He watched helplessly as Nyx and Theon chatted quietly in front of him. When they laughed, their eyes.crinkled into crescent moons, and Felix couldn’t break into their cozy atmosphere,
Before leaving, Theon even gave Nyx a gentle hug. “Goodnight. Nyx.
Then, Theon looked up at Felix provocatively. “Come on, Uncle elix. It’s late. Don’t disturb Nyx’s rest.
Felix’s heavy gaze made Nyx feel a bit of pressure. She softly said “Felix, goodnight. You should rest early too Ell give you Mental Soothing tomorrow.

The subtle difference in her tone finally struck Felix like a bucket of cold water. He felt a chill run through him. Dazed, Nyx’s past calls to him echoed repeatedly in Felix’s mind.
‘Does Nyx only see me as an elder?‘ Felix thought.
Come to think of it, ever since he had blurted out that she was his matron, he had faced Nyx’s cold treatment.
Felix vaguely remembered Theon’s words to him. “She only sees you as an elder.”
The intense shock and unwillingness stirred up unprecedented strong emotions in Felix.
His breathing became more and more rapid, and his usually very stable Loss of Control Index surged sharply. Felix could feel his mind gradually becoming unclear.
Felix shook his head vigorously, and before he completely lost control, he turned around and hurriedly left. As soon as he was out of Nyx’s sight, he immediately took out a shock collar from his Space Button and unhesitatingly fastened it around his neck.
The electric current could immobilize an ordinary male, but for Felix, it wasn’t enough to restrict his movements; it just brought enough pain.
The pain helped him regain his sanity for the moment.
In the quiet of the night, the Supervision Office welcomed an unexpected visitor.
Director Liam Harper rushed over personally to greet him. “Felix, what brings you here?”
Felix’s tone was calm. “My Loss of Control Index is rising too fast I might lose control soon, so I need to be supervised here for a while.”
Liam was stunned. ‘Is this a joke?‘ he wondered.
Everyone knew that Felix was someone who rarely had emotional fluctuations. Off the battlefield, his Loss of Control Index increased very slowly. How could he suddenly be on the verge of losing control today?
Besides, Felix was the guardian of an SSS–level female.
With her Mental Soothing, he didn’t need to come here for supervision.
Felix lowered his eyes and didn’t explain further.
He had informed Theon and Zayne that he was coming to the Supervision Office but hadn’t told Nyx.
Until he could adjust his mindset and control his emotions, he didn’t dare to see Nyx. He was afraid that just seeing her would cause him to lose control and lead to terrible consequences.
Even without seeing her, just thinking of Nyx made Felix’s expression change instantly, and his aura became restless.
The staff at the Supervision Office treated the situation with utmost seriousness and quickly ushered Felix into a specially designed room for strict supervision.
That night, Nyx didn’t sleep well and woke up early, feeling uneasy. She opened her Intelligent Brain, rubbed her eyes and checked the message from Aurelius.
Aurelius Loss of Control Index had dropped to 10, and he hoped to meet her again to express his ge titude fa p-

Nyx replied curtly: [No need to thank me.]
Sitting on the bed and rubbing her forehead, Nyx’s mind replayed the events of the previous night.

She had performed Mental Soothing on Theon and Zayne last night, and it had gone quite well. She hadn’t had the chance to do the same for Felix before he suddenly knelt down to atone
She had planned to give Felix Mental Soothing today, but he had unexpectedly left the estate late last night.
According to Theon, Felix had gone on a temporary business trip and might not be back for a while.
‘He has just been on a business trip not long ago. How could he go again so soon? Is there any danger?‘ she wondered.
During breakfast, Nyx couldn’t help but worry and asked Theon, “How long do you think Felix will be gone? I haven’t given him Mental Soothing yet.”
Theon, who was already frazzled by Felix’s sudden loss of control, was caught off guard and didn’t know how to respond.
Fortunately, Zayne stepped in and answered for him. “At least a month.”
‘Hopefully, Felix can adjust his mood soon; otherwise, it could be one month, two months, a year, or even two years, he wondered.
No one knew what had happened to the marshal. His sudden emotional breakdown was puzzling. When Zayne had questioned Felix last night, not only did he fail to get an answer, but he also saw Felix’s emotions become even more agitated.
Zayne was puzzled, and Theon was even more baffled.
In the past, Theon had countless arguments and even physical fights with Felix, yet Felix’s emotions remained as stable as a rock, with his Loss of Control Index hardly ever rising. Last night, Theon merely took advantage of Nyx’s favoritism and slightly provoked Felix, but Felix actually lost control.
The atmosphere in the room was much heavier than usual.
Even though Theon and Zayne had decided to keep things from Nyx, she still sensed that something was off.
Nyx silently drank a nutrient agent, then turned her gaze to the window.
The sky, which had been clear yesterday, was now overcast with a light drizzle
“The rain will stop at one in the afternoon. It’s better to go out after one,” Zayne said, thinking Nyx wanted to go outside and kindly reminding her.
Nyx slowly withdrew her gaze, her eyes sweeping over Zayne’s unblemished face before settling on Theor., who seemed preoccupied. She suddenly spoke. “Stop hiding things from me. Take me to see Felix.”
For a split second, Theon’s face showed a flicker of panic, confirming Nyx’s suspicion.
Something had definitely happened to Felix.
Looking back, it seemed that Nyx had been deceived by these two before when Theon had lost control.
Back then, Theon had clearly lost control, but Zayne had lied to her, saying that Theon had gone back to the base.

‘So what has happened to Felix this time?‘ she wondered.
Nyx had no time to settle accounts with these two liars.
She abruptly stood up. “Where is Felix? I want to see him.”
