Upon receiving Felix's assurance, Hugo leaped up. "No, no! Thank you, Mr. Zeller, for this opportunity. Thank you!"Hugo grasped Felix's hand with both of his, showing immense gratitude. When he realized Felix was Ernest's savior, he thought his fate was sealed. To his surprise, the situation took a dramatic turn."Are you happy with this result, Mr. Holt Senior?" Felix asked as he prepared to leave.Ernest's eyes gleamed with a brief flash of insight, and he nodded. "Yes! Perhaps life's destiny is truly preordained."Felix smiled. As expected of someone who had survived the battlefield, Ernest saw through the essence of the handshake.On their way back, Kane couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Zeller, are you really letting Hugo off the hook? Regardless of your Dragon Lord status, you could have done whatever you wanted after saving Mr. Holt Senior's life."Felix shook his head. "No, Kane. You're still too caught up in the underworld mentality and seeing things narrowly."With Mr. Holt

The sun rose. Felix had finished his morning routine and was pacing back and forth in his room.He was debating whether he should approach Warren and seek forgiveness. Hugo's troubling actions toward Warren weighed heavily on Felix's conscience.He remembered clearly from his childhood that even Matthew had said more than once that Warren had a straightforward personality and would never let himself be taken advantage of. Yet now, because of him, Warren was trampled by Hugo and didn't dare say a word.Even though Felix had already dealt with Hugo, and Hugo's time was running out, he couldn't openly acknowledge it.Just then, Kane's call came through. "Mr. Zeller, I've found out that Warren left early this morning and is at the office of Concord Bank's deputy manager."Unable to contact Warren directly, Felix had asked Kane to find out."Got it." After hanging up, Felix made up his mind and drove to Concord Bank.…Half an hour later, in the office of Concord Bank's deputy manag

Alex was terrified. He immediately shouted at Warren, "Warren! Are you out of your mind? How dare you speak to Mr. Zeller like that? You're the one who should get out!"Then, he hurried over to Felix, his attitude groveling. "I'm really sorry, Mr. Zeller. This is one of my clients. Please don't mind him."However, Felix only looked at Warren. His eyes were full of guilt. "I'm really sorry, Uncle Warren. I'll wait for you outside. I owe you an explanation."After saying this, Felix turned and walked out, leaving Alex standing there, dumbfounded.Uncle Warren? Felix, the holder of the Supreme Black Card, was addressing Warren as "Uncle Warren"? What was going on?"Humph! I'd like to see what kind of explanation you think you can give," Warren muttered.Seeing Warren head for the door, Alex quickly came to his senses and grabbed hold of him. "Warren! Y-You know Mr. Zeller? Why didn't you say so earlier?"Consider your loan approved. No, I'll get you a one-billion-dollar loan right

Before leaving, Warren added one last condition. "If you can't make this happen, publicly declare that we have nothing to do with each other. Make it a clean break, and don't come near me again."Warren mentioned the partnership on purpose. Stellar Group's visit to Avesburgh and their plan to build a city within a city in the suburbs were genuine. Everyone in the business world knew about that.However, their prestige was unmatched. Ranked tenth in Dragonia, Stellar Group was far beyond Kane's reach. For Felix, it was an impossible task.Warren's real aim was to sever ties with Felix completely to prevent any potential danger to his family in the future.Money was secondary to him. As long as he had enough to get by, it was sufficient.Having accepted the deal, Felix wasted no time and rushed to Kane's place. "Kane, have you heard of Stellar Group?"Kane nodded. "Yes, I've heard of them. They're the tenth-ranked company in Dragonia. You can probably imagine just how significant t

By late morning the next day, both Xena and Belle were seated in a private dining room at a restaurant in Avesburgh."Milady, according to the intel, the president of Stellar Group was supposed to attend. However, our team at the airport confirmed that only the vice president arrived. Is it still necessary for you to host this lunch?"Xena chuckled. "Don't say that. Stellar Group is ranked tenth in all of Dragonia, and they're investing here in my hometown. As the host, it's only right to treat them to a meal. "Besides, others might not know, but you surely know that Stellar Group is just the smallest of that person's companies."That person? Belle suddenly remembered and immediately smiled."I understand now, milady. You're extending this courtesy more because of that person's influence. Though I must say, Stellar Group's president is quite the mystery. No one even knows their name yet. If you'd let me investigate further, I'm sure we could uncover it."Xena shot her a playfu

"Felix! Are you blind? Can't you see the car coming?" Belle shouted.Felix's face darkened. "This is a residential area. Even if a car is coming, basic courtesy says the driver should give way to pedestrians. Don't you even know that much?"He was well aware that Belle was intentionally picking a fight. He had seen the car approaching from a distance, but it had suddenly sped up."You're saying I'm the rude one?" Belle laughed incredulously. "Do you think just because you're a martial artist, you can act arrogant and reckless, thinking a speeding car can't kill you?"Felix, clearly uninterested in continuing the argument, glanced at the figure in the back seat of the car. "What is it this time?"Instantly, Belle's irritation hit its peak. "Oh, my God! How can someone be so shameless? Do you really think every time Lady Summers comes to Tabiner Bay, it's to look for you?""It's better if she's not here for me."Felix made his way over to the neighborhood's artificial lake, where

Belle lost it at once. "How is this possible? Does Felix actually know Mr. Holt Senior? How?"It was utterly outrageous. Ernest held a position of immense significance. Even someone like Xena had to pay him a personal visit, let alone ordinary people."Calm down. It's just fishing. Mr. Holt Senior isn't the type to block off the entire lake for himself. Let's go."Belle felt a bit better after hearing this. Otherwise, she wouldn't know how to process the situation.Before they could get close, Jairo intercepted them. His voice was barely above a whisper, yet the two women could hear him perfectly."Mr. Holt Senior is fishing. No one is allowed to disturb him."Xena's expression shifted slightly. As expected from Ernest's personal bodyguard! Jairo's strength was undeniable, likely on par with her own."Okay. I'll wait here."As time dragged on, Belle's frustration mounted. While she and Xena stood idly by, Felix was happily fishing with Ernest. This was maddening.After over tw

Since Felix had said it was fine, Kane wouldn't reject Joshua either. "Helping with other matters is fine, but when it comes to winning over the goddess of war, that's all on you.""Don't worry, Lord Kane. I understand that Xena is out of reach, but I'm 80% confident. Anyway, once I successfully join Dragon Alliance, I will definitely remember your kindness," Joshua said.Kane suddenly caught on to a crucial point. "You're one of the people from Stellar Group who came to Avesburgh to invest? You're the vice president?"Joshua smiled. This was exactly the reaction he wanted.Although Dragon Alliance was powerful, Kane was just the deputy chief of Oasis Clinic. Meanwhile, Joshua's position as the vice president of Stellar Group was quite significant."Yes, and I'll also be the project head for the city within a city development."Kane's expression brightened instantly after hearing that."That's great! If you have decision-making power, can you do me a favor? Can we include Veloci

Seekstorm's large eyes were bright blue, filled with a hint of timidity and curiosity.Felix didn't dare make any sudden moves. He was afraid of scaring the little beast but also curious about what it was planning to do.After a few minutes of tense silence, Seekstorm slowly began to approach Felix, coming right up to him. It wasn't that friendly with him last time. Seeing its eyes sparkle with a hint of affection, Felix was almost in disbelief. He grabbed the steak and held it out.The little creature almost drooled, but after staring for a few seconds, it forced itself to look back at him instead."Hm? Why are you staring at me instead of eating your favorite steak?"Felix knew it wasn't because of his increased charisma upon reaching the Grandmaster Realm level. It was more likely that something he carried was attracting Seekstorm.After turning down several things with little interest, Seekstorm's eyes lit up when it saw the red bone that appeared during Aiden's demise.

Who would have thought that Felix would just stand in midair like that, looking down at everyone around him? Wasn't that the sign of a Grandmaster Realm martial artist?It was universally accepted that martial artists of Grandmaster Realm couldn't fly, but they could stand in midair. So far, no technique or secret method has been discovered that could achieve such a feat. While the strongest martial artists could momentarily leverage the air to support themselves, only a martial artist of Grandmaster Realm could stand in midair like that.At that moment, Felix basked in the awe and respect of the people of Ghosttown. His heart swelled with satisfaction.Just as he'd predicted, reaching the peak of Transcendent Realm and absorbing the last piece of the Dragonspine had pushed him straight to the pinnacle of martial prowess—Grandmaster Realm level.No wonder he could absorb the Dragonspine so quickly this time. It only took a couple of days, and even though he was struck by lightnin
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1098
After confirming the results, with three days left until the full moon, Felix decided to absorb the last piece of the Dragonspine. Having successfully forged his Ethereal Constitution, there was no one in Martial City who could rival him at his current level. Nonetheless, he didn't want to risk any unexpected surprises.By noon on the third day, the sun was blazing down mercilessly, scorching the earth.A middle-aged man and woman quietly approached a particular house."I… I still feel uneasy about this. That's the Demoness' house, after all," the woman said hesitantly.The man scolded her, "What are you afraid of? The Demoness has been gone for nearly two years. She's long since left. Who knows? We might find some valuable treasures or secret techniques inside. Just because she didn't care for them doesn't mean they're useless to us."The thought of potential riches emboldened them. Although the woman hesitated, she eventually steeled herself and continued forward.Just as the

Felix's mind went completely blank at that moment. He was so shocked that he didn't even notice the emerald slip turning into a streak of light and flying away.His new discovery was simply too incredible. The emerald slip contained none other than the next part of the Lone Paragon. Back when he first learned it, he had wondered why the Lone Paragon technique was limited to a threefold power boost. Finally, his suspicions had been confirmed.When he finally snapped out of his daze, he couldn't help but sigh. "Danger and opportunity truly go hand in hand."With his current strength, he mastered this new part of Lone Paragon in an instant, increasing the power boost from threefold to fourfold."Could there be even more beyond this? If I master the entire technique, just how terrifying will my combat power become?"As he took a moment to center himself, an even greater wave of excitement washed over him.Not only did this new section of Lone Paragon increase his power further, but

Felix chuckled. He had to admit that Kevin was an incredibly difficult opponent. He was sure the man had only sensed something unusual, without fully understanding what had changed. Despite that uncertainty, he chose to flee without hesitation."Do you really think you can escape?" Felix asked.Lumen reappeared in an instant, materializing right in front of Kevin as if teleporting. This was true speed at its peak."Humph! I thought you would do something else. This thing failed to break through my defenses previously. Did I misjudge?" Kevin thought.Once again, the red glow flared up, forming a barrier to block Lumen. But this time, things were different.With a crack, something shattered. Lumen had pierced straight through Kevin's body. At first glance, there seemed to be no visible damage. Felix, who had just caught up with Lumen, knew the truth. Kevin was already dead. His soul had been obliterated in an instant.There wasn't even a flicker of emotion in his eyes. Everything
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1095
Felix had no other choice. Whether he would succumb to darkness or not was a problem for later. Since his Ethereal Constitution was still incomplete, he could only unleash Lumen in an attempt to kill Kevin.His strength was beyond anything Felix had anticipated.Just when he thought it was about to be over, Kevin suddenly stood still. A crimson glow flickered around him, then condensed into a shield the size of a plate. It perfectly intercepted Lumen just inches from his forehead."What?" Felix was utterly shocked. This was the first time anyone had ever blocked Lumen. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought it was a dream.Kevin sneered. "Aren't you the miracle doctor's mentee? Do you really think that once a martial artist reaches a certain level, they wouldn't have some understanding of the soul? If I wasn't fully prepared, do you think I would have revealed myself to kill you?"Kevin had a soul-defense weapon similar to the Infinite Shield. Felix found i

What Kevin said next left Felix utterly shocked."Forget Eloise. If the miracle doctor were to release the seals on all nine of your fellow apprentices, I wouldn't stand a chance against a single one of them."Seals on all nine of his fellow apprentices? What did that mean?No matter how much Felix tried to goad Kevin for more information, he wouldn't say another word. He had no choice but to dismiss it as nonsense.After another ten minutes, Kevin suddenly unleashed a devastating strike, which sent Felix flying backward. However, by doing so, Kevin left himself exposed. For the first time, Felix landed a clean hit on him."Felix, now you'll witness the moment I've been waiting for all these years. Without this full-power battle between us, I never would've reached this point!"With that, Kevin pulled out an object. As his upper garments shredded apart, he pressed it against his chest.Felix grew anxious as he had seen that object before. It was the same bone that had flown away
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1093
The moment a disheveled old man appeared, Felix knew that it was no coincidence. The old man had come looking for him on purpose. However, the real question was why he dared to do that."I believe this is our first meeting, right, Kevin?"Kevin grinned. "Yes."Felix rolled his neck. After all, he anticipated this fight a lot. During his fight against Cordelia, he felt the need to hold back. However, he didn't have to do that this time. After all, Kevin was one of the best fighters. There was no doubt about that."Did you come to avenge your mentee Aiden?" Felix asked.To his surprise, Kevin shook his head. "No. On the contrary, I should be thanking you for killing Aiden. I believe in fate, and I never try to manipulate it. "When the three Celestial Royals joined forces against you at the foot of Trirock Mountain, I was certain you would die. However, fate took a turn."Felix frowned, struggling to make sense of why he would want to thank him."So many things I thought were des

"What is this thing?" Westley asked."This thing created all the mist in Misty Ridge," Felix replied.He didn't bother explaining the origins of the Infinite Shield in detail. Instead, he simply raised his right hand and touched it.In an instant, the Infinite Shield transformed into a streak of green light and disappeared into his body.As he felt the shield merge with his soul, a lingering sense of unease crept over him as he recalled Ophelia's warning.When dealing with the Three Forbidden Lands, the order of entry was crucial. If done incorrectly, the consequences would be disastrous.He had entered Echo Cavern first by pure luck. Back then, he had been ambushed by Dean and the Grand Elder. Both of them had mastered Transcendent Realm. Hence, Felix hadn't had the luxury of choice. Just surviving had been enough for him.It was only thanks to Ophelia's guidance that he had avoided stepping into Misty Ridge back then. Otherwise, who knew what would have happened?Even though
