The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 115
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

Yvonne could hardly believe what she had heard. She stared at Felix in disbelief. "Felix! I considered you a friend, and now you want me to strip myself?"How could he ask her to take off her clothes with such righteous conviction? It was truly disappointing.However, Felix was unfazed by her misunderstanding. He stood up and explained, "Trust me. This red wine has been mixed with a substance called Phytarone, a potent aphrodisiac. The formula for Phytarone has long been lost, and the remaining quantities are extremely rare. Do you understand what I'm saying?"Yvonne displayed her disdain as she looked at Felix. As a martial artist, she wouldn't fear him harassing her."Ha! I must say, your story is so ridiculous I almost believe it. Are you going to say that if you don't treat me, I'll end up wanting your body due to the effects of Phytarone?"She wasn't lying. The bottle of wine had indeed been gifted by her best friend—someone she had known for over a decade. There was no way

"Felix! I'm sorry. I'm really sorry for doubting you. It's my fault. Please save me!" Yvonne cried out. Seeing Yvonne approaching him, Felix sighed in resignation. "I've already told you—Phytarone is extremely potent. Even I can only guarantee treatment in the first few minutes, but now it's too late."Yvonne gritted her teeth. She knew that she was close to losing her rationality, so she made up her mind."If doing it with a man is the only way to save my life, I hope that man is you!"Right then, Yvonne's face turned bright red, and she clung to Felix as if she were an octopus. Her lips wandered clumsily on his face and her hands clutched his.Even though she couldn't control her body, her mind was clear. She was fully aware of everything she was doing at the moment.The fact that Felix could still think straight in this situation was already quite remarkable.In the end, he gave a bitter smile before carrying her.Yvonne was quite beautiful. Whether it was her appearance, f

Yvonne's mind went completely blank; she could hardly believe what she had just heard."That's right—I was the one who prepared that bottle of red wine," her boss said.Upon receiving verbal confirmation, Yvonne was instantly overwhelmed with mixed emotions. She didn't know what to say."What? You have a problem with that?"Upon noticing her boss' tone, Yvonne quickly replied, "No, no! I wouldn't dare! My life is yours, after all. So, of course, I wouldn't have a problem with something like this."Yvonne had once been left destitute, and it was her boss who had taken her in and given her a second chance at life. As such, she was not exaggerating when she said that."Don't overthink it. Felix and I are simply not meant to be, but it's only fair that I give him a little something since he's my fiancé."A woman like you will be utterly unattainable to him in the future. When we finally meet one day, he'll know that he should be content."Yvonne could only take it with a bitter smi

"You want to pursue Ms. Summers?" Belle asked.Joshua nodded with a serious look. "That's right.""You do know that she's the first goddess of war in Dragonia and the dream girl of most men, right? What makes you think you are qualified to pursue her?"Joshua already had an answer prepared for this question."I'll let you in on something. My uncle is the chief of Dragon Alliance's Lawson Clinic, and I'm not too shabby myself, being the vice president of Stellar Group and all. Is that not good enough?"Belle was slightly taken aback."To be honest, your position as vice president of Stellar Group isn't worth mentioning, but your uncle's position does mean something."As Xena's deputy, needless to say, Belle knew how powerful Dragon Alliance was. That faction was where hidden talents thrived, and being one of the chiefs for Dragon Alliance was quite a feat."Before I help you, you should know something. If you can't even handle the matter, don't think about pursuing her," Belle s

Felix stood at the entrance of an alley at around 7:00 pm with a confused look.He stood at the location Sasha had given him, but no matter how much he looked around, the place didn't seem like there would be a restaurant there."Felix."In less than a minute, Sasha appeared."Is the restaurant here?" Felix asked.Sasha answered with a smile, "Yes, there's a fondue restaurant here that's been around for years. The food is really good."Fondue? Felix wasn't going to question it. It didn't matter what they ate. He'd be grateful as long as Sasha would stop bothering him.As they turned the corner into the alley, the fragrant aroma of food hit them, instantly increasing his appetite.There was indeed a fondue restaurant nestled in the alley. There was even a line of people waiting to be seated at the entrance."Don't we need to line up?" Felix was puzzled when he saw Sasha walk right in."No need. I've known the owner for a long time and reserved a table ahead of time."The rest

Felix didn't give Sasha's behavior much thought.After all, Sasha was used to being pampered by Nattie, and with this being a sort of farewell, she was likely in a bad mood. Felix thought it was only natural for her to be a bit temperamental."It seems you two prefer to suffer the consequences rather than do things the easy way."The men in black surrounded them, and Felix raised his hand."Guys, running a small business isn't easy for these folks. If you have any problems with me, let's settle them outside."Seeing Felix head outside, Sasha breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally taken the bait.Just now, she had acted out of desperation. It would have been a big problem if Felix had truly abandoned her. Thankfully, everything was back on track.There were only a dozen or so bodyguards. It also seemed like their employer hadn't shown up yet.Since Felix didn't want to cause trouble, he suggested, "How about you let us finish our meal first, and we'll leave right after?""He

Nelly had always maintained professional distance with all her clients, which had worked to discourage Huxley's advances since he was never really interested in buying property. However, Felix's arrival completely disrupted that delicate balance.After a long moment of internal struggle, Nelly agreed. "Fine, I'll have dinner and karaoke with you tonight, but that's all."Huxley smiled darkly, knowing she would not have any control over what happened once she was there, especially after he slipped something into her drink."That won't be necessary," Felix interrupted firmly. "I actually appreciate having all these people guarding my clinic. Nelly, please go home."Upon seeing Huxley's expression turn venomous, Nelly panicked. "Mr. Zeller, please stay out of this. I know what I'm doing.""I said it's not necessary," Felix repeated calmly.Huxley's expression darkened as he grabbed Felix's collar. "Do you actually think having Clement back you up makes you untouchable? What's your c

Xena nodded slowly. "Of course, I've heard of them! Everyone who joins gets that training at headquarters. "How could anyone not know about the legendary Chief Commander? But what does this have to do with Felix?"She had tried calling Conan earlier, but he had been too scared to say anything. Hence, she was now questioning Alistair."The legendary Chief Commander appeared today—she's Felix's senior," Alistair explained. "One call to Hugh, and within minutes, they discovered the forensics team had falsified everything on the phone.""What?" Xena shot up from her chair. "Are you absolutely certain Felix's senior is the legendary Chief Commander?"Though Alistair only responded with a telling look, she knew it was true. The news was absolutely staggering—this connection was far more significant than knowing any warlord."Based on Mr. Spade's reaction, the Chief Commander hasn't aged a day," Alistair added thoughtfully.Xena gave a bitter laugh. "Of course not. One can only imagin

Conan did not want to stay a second longer in this place. After all, this was the legendary Chief Commander, someone even Lionel respected. He had really shot himself in the foot this time, wishing he had shown better judgment.After they left, Felix breathed a sigh of relief, finally understanding why the forensics results were compromised. It seemed John had timed his report precisely for this reason."Thank you, Mira," Felix said sincerely.Averill immediately protested with a mischievous grin. "What about me? Don't forget you did nothing but lie in bed last time. You should thank me for my hard work too."Felix felt his face burning with embarrassment—only Averill would make such suggestive comments in front of Mira."How did you two end up coming together?" he asked, trying to change the subject.Mira's eyes sparkled with amusement. "I was too lazy to track you down, so I had Averill do the legwork." She turned to Averill and added, "Don't you have a flight to catch?"Ave

Conan whirled around to find another stunningly beautiful woman, and he widened his eyes. He could not help but think, "Damn! What kind of luck does Felix have to have such gorgeous seniors?""Of course! What, are you planning to interfere too?" he challenged, trying to maintain his authority.Felix stood up, surprised to see that Averill's mentioned senior was none other than Mira, who had gracefully entered the room carrying a distinctive purple umbrella—the kind of accessory that demanded attention whether you wanted to give it or not."Well, well, headquarters has really gone downhill if this is the caliber of agents they're producing these days," Mira remarked with a cold smile.Conan's face reddened with rage at the insult to headquarters, but his anger suddenly froze as he took a closer look at Mira's face. He stumbled backward several steps. "Y-You're..."Ignoring Conan, Mira pulled out her phone and dialed a number. "Listen here, Hugh. Just because you're retired doesn't

A flash of annoyance crossed Alistair's eyes, but he still made the introduction. "Mr. Zeller, this is Mr. Conan Spade from headquarters, a joint investigator. Given the international implications of this case, they're taking it quite seriously." Conan scoffed at these words. "Mister? Really, Alistair? You're getting soft—since when do we address suspects as 'mister'?""How I address people is my business," Alistair shot back. "As long as the investigation is thorough, my manners aren't your concern." Ignoring the exchange, Conan dropped heavily into the chair across from Felix. "The voice recordings and videos from your phone have been authenticated—it's definitely you, Felix. No amount of denial will help unless you can provide an alibi, so you'd better come with us right now."He added with menace, "And if you resist, we're authorized to use lethal force!"Conan's hostility was crystal clear, but Felix chose not to dwell on it. He replied, "I actually do have an alibi, though

Felix's first thought was that they had found out that he killed Mason, but he quickly dismissed it. First, he had been meticulous. Since Mason had come to kill him, he would have surely avoided cameras himself. Secondly, the Jacobs family would learn about his death first. There was no way they would ask the cops for help instead of taking revenge themselves. These two points made it unlikely. So, what was it? "Xena, don't joke around. How could I have murdered someone?" "That's not for you to decide. Did you think I'd call you if this wasn't official? Alistair's coming for you. I hope you'll cooperate, or I'll issue an arrest warrant." The call ended right there, and Felix was left bewildered. He could only go home and wait. An hour later, Alistair found his address. He sat in Felix's living room with two Wolfie troopers. The fact that they had not even given him a heads-up despite their relationship meant this was official business. "Mr. Zeller, I apologize, but we mus

If Felix wanted to have regular interactions with Willow, he first needed a job. Maintaining his usual air of mystery would only create distance.After consideration, he decided that continuing his career as a doctor made the most sense. It was the fastest way to connect with people. After all, everyone would get sick sometimes."There's a traditional medicine clinic for rent just a block away. But you should see it yourself first." Nelly's efficiency was impressive. After all, she was familiar with the industry. "Thanks again. Just call me Felix." "Sure, Felix." Nelly's colleagues had been right when they said she was a reserved woman. She had not been putting on an act when she always maintained professional distance with wealthy clients. Her different approach with Felix stemmed from her intuition. His eyes were always filled with sincerity whenever he looked at her. The clinic was about 800 square feet. Though it was not big, it was sufficient for use. It had thrived un

Almost immediately after Mason's death, a scarlet thread shot out from his body straight toward Felix. The thread moved so fast that Felix could not react before it vanished. Quickly sitting in a meditation pose, Felix located the thread within himself."Even with my current power, it'll take a month to fully dissolve this Scarlet Thread." Since the thread was not harming him, Felix guessed it had to be some kind of ancestral protection to identify who killed their descendant.Though Felix had instantly suppressed it to its limit, total elimination would take at least a month. This was why he was frustrated. While his suppression had reduced the thread's tracking range greatly, it was not gone. Within a certain distance, it could still instantly identify Felix as Mason's killer. Whoever created this thread was powerful. They were definitely beyond Felix's current ability to fight. But nothing could be done about it now. He would have to take things one step at a time.Seven

Unless? Melissa's eyes lit up eagerly. "Don't keep me hanging! Unless what?" "Unless he's from one of the two most mysterious sects or the Greene family. I can't think of any other possibility." Melissa's expression turned worried as she pondered. "What should I do? Should I heed his calls? And is that mark real?"Her mentor answered without hesitation, "Of course the mark is real! If he wanted you dead, you'd be dead already. You have a chance to connect with a supreme prodigy, and you're thinking of avoiding him?"Has all that phone-stealing messed up your brain? Best case scenario, you could have his child, then—"Melissa hung up. That old man was being ridiculous again. But recalling Felix's appearance, she stroked her chin with a playful smile and said, "Having his child might not be so bad... Oh, my, why am I feeling butterflies?"…Around 1:00 am, Mason had just entered the living room of Villa No. 3 in Heavenly Meadow when he found Felix waiting at the stairs. "You
