The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1249
Felix couldn't detect the Malevolent Phantom, yet this man just appeared out of thin air. It seemed like he was acquainted with Donna, as she was unfazed. "There's nothing to explain. I'll make up for it," Felix said calmly.The Malevolent Phantom smiled slightly and laughed. "What an interesting man! He really isn't afraid of us."Ignoring the mockery, Donna said solemnly, "Cooperation is cooperation. If you lose the soul essence of an A-tier Malevolent Phantom, you'd have to replace it. I don't have the time to wait for you."As she spoke, she handed a piece of paper over. "Here. Follow these. If it goes well, you'll be able to kill five B-tier Malevolent Phantoms. It's a bit short, but it'll do."There was one thing Donna was right about. Since it was a cooperation, there had to be benefits for both sides, so Felix took the paper without hesitation. After scanning the paper, he felt like there wasn't anything wrong with it. "Alright. I'll get to it now."Once he left, the M

The hint couldn't have been any more obvious, but Felix didn't care. If the woman was a Malevolent Phantom, of course, he was more than willing to drink with her. Since she wasn't, she needed to get out of there.On the piece of paper Donna had given him was the address of this private karaoke booth. It also mentioned that the triplets inside were all Malevolent Phantoms. As for what was next, there were no further instructions. Everyone knew what was to come. Soon, the young man came back with three women who looked identical. To be honest, they weren't the most beautiful women Felix had met, but they weren't that bad. Besides, with three women, any man would've jumped at the chance. The pleasures of sex—at least for men—were divided into two aspects, physical and mental. According to some experts, the mental pleasure of sexual intercourse is more important than physical pleasure. For example, if a man got lucky enough to sleep with a celebrity, the excitement from it was somet

Felix was exaggerating a little. Lars then said, "Felix, this isn't even funny. Yolanda was fine, so how could she end up getting assaulted and committing suicide?" Lars knew Felix would not buy the story, so he said with a bitter smile, "Alas… Since I've started talking, I'll tell you everything. The truth is, I've known Yolanda since we were teenagers. "We've always been close friends—the kind that never quite turned romantic. That's why I'm so worked up about this whole mess." Hearing his words, Felix's expression turned serious. "Tell me everything. I'll definitely help you if I can. Although it's been a long time since I last met her, I haven't forgotten the young woman who was once brave enough to help me. "If I can do something about this, I absolutely will." Regardless of whether Felix was telling the truth, Lars felt he had chosen the right person to confide in."Yolanda's family is in deep trouble. They're facing a 50-billion-dollar funding gap. Every major bank

Felix chuckled. "Just stay out of it. I'm not an idiot." After arriving at the tennis court, they immediately spotted Yolanda playing with a slightly pudgy man with a beer belly. If Lars hadn't mentioned him, Felix would have thought the man was in his 40s. He looked way older than Felix had expected. He was the type of man who would have been completely forgettable in the crowd if it weren't for his good family background.Right then, Zachariah waved for a break and sat down next to Yolanda. "Zachariah, I've improved a bit, right?" Wiping sweat with a towel, Zachariah said with a smile, "Yeah, you've improved. But you're still far off. If I wasn't holding back, you wouldn't last three rounds." Yolanda, who never liked flattery, forced herself to say, "Of course. You're so amazing at tennis, after all. I'm nowhere near being able to actually play with you." Putting down the towel, Zachariah looked at Yolanda. "I know your family's situation, so let's cut to the chase. I'm
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1253
With Lars' help, Felix could definitely be more aggressive. And he could interfere without raising Yolanda's suspicions, too. His words immediately infuriated Zachariah. "You stupid brat! Are you talking to me?" Zachariah's two bodyguards immediately glared menacingly. "There must be a misunderstanding, Zachariah!" Sure enough, Yolanda snapped out of her daze and rushed to Felix's side. "Felix, have you lost your mind? My business is not your concern!" Clever as she was, how could she not guess that Lars had already told Felix everything? Otherwise, why would he suddenly show such hostility toward a stranger? "It doesn't matter whether I should get involved or not. I can't just let you be bullied. After all, I still owe you a favor from when we were kids." As he spoke, Felix raised his hand and made a gesture. "Get him out of here!" The manager appeared with over a dozen security guards, now approaching Zachariah. Zachariah burst out laughing. "This is ridiculous! I'm
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1254
Yolanda said, "Are you satisfied now? We've not only failed to get Zachariah's help, but we've also made an enemy. If the Meyers decide to attack our families, how long do you think we can survive?" Lars hadn't expected Felix to be so aggressive. He kept his head down without a word, knowing he had made a mistake. But Felix tried to help clarify things. "Calm down, Yolanda. Lars told me everything. I've already called my dad, and his think tank is analyzing your family's situation. I think they'll probably invest." Yolanda stared at Felix in disbelief. "Are you serious?" "Absolutely. With your family's survival on the line, why would I lie? Everything depends on my dad's assessment, of course. 50 billion dollars isn't pocket change. "You helped me once, and we're classmates. You should have told me about this earlier. How could I just watch you suffer and not help?" Felix smiled and said, "I can guarantee that if we invest, your dad will still run the company. We won't inte

Felix felt awkward. He had been so confident, and then, Lars dropped the bombshell. He added, "But wait. You guys were just talking about how powerful Fifteenth Overlord is. How could he be useless against the Meyers?" Yolanda looked at him suspiciously. "Do you know Fifteenth Overlord?" Last night, her father, Giveon Zuckerberg, had asked Rick to request Louise's help. But she had held no hope—Rick was a nobody to them, after all. Even Ben, who worked under Louise, wouldn't even give him a second glance. Yet somehow, things had worked out. She felt like someone had been secretly helping her behind the scenes.Now that Felix mentioned him, Yolanda started to suspect something. "I don't know him. I figured offering him a billion dollars would make him willing to help." Lars and Yolanda looked exasperated at his words. Money truly talked—Felix was willing to offer a billion dollars just to get Louise's attention.Even if others had considered doing the same, they would eith

Felix then said, "I have something to deal with tonight. Just do it tomorrow, as I said." Louise answered, "Yes, sir!" For Louise, Felix's words were absolute law. After being threatened by that masked mysterious person last time, he was eager for revenge. Just after leaving the meeting place, Felix suddenly furrowed his brows. Among the lackeys he had back then, the only one he had kept was Reagan. He hadn't dismissed him, thinking he might be useful later. But just now, he could sense that their connection had vanished. This could only mean two things. Either Reagan was dead, or he had escaped control. After hesitating, he called Luna. "Felix!"Her voice was filled with excitement, which made Felix feel slightly helpless. "Luna, listen carefully. Confirm the Shadowstalker Emperor's status as quickly as possible. "If he's alive, pack up and come to Dragonia with all of your family immediately. Staying in Astoria is definitely not safe." Luna had helped him a lot. While

Ginny was naturally present as well, and she spoke up at that moment. "Mr. Goldstein, no one wanted to see Justus die like that. But why did you bring your people to Longstone residence? Are you suggesting that his sudden death has something to do with us?"Joaquin's expression grew darker as he looked at her. He blamed Ginny for this, thinking that none of this would have happened if she had just agreed earlier. And now, they couldn't even determine the cause of death."No connection? That doctor from your household, Felix Zeller—he's the one responsible for Justus' death."Right then, someone spoke up from the crowd. "That's him! That's Felix Zeller!"Felix, who had been calmly sitting in a chair, finally saw Wagner standing among them. And in that moment, everything made sense."Wagner? You've gotten quite bold, huh?" Gras sneered.Wagner flinched at Gras's words, but remembering that he now had the Goldsteins backing him, he stiffened his spine and stood tall. "Cut the crap

In Cloud City, there were a few noble families. Nonetheless, behind the polite smiles, tensions surged. Infiltrating each other's estates with spies had practically become a tradition. While they rarely uncovered major secrets, the information they did gather always gave them a head start.So when the news broke, Gras didn't doubt it for a second. He jumped to his feet, furious. "This is outrageous! Their son dies, and somehow it's the Longstone family's fault?"Ryker looked just as puzzled, agreeing that the accusation made no sense.But Felix let out a quiet, weary sigh. "Mr. Longstone, I'm afraid this is probably my fault. I'm a doctor, and I've gotten a bit of attention lately. After they failed to determine the cause of Justus' death, and given our meeting earlier today, they likely saw an opportunity to drag your family into the mess." Gras's expression darkened, knowing that Felix wasn't wrong. After all, doctors could also be poisoners, and plenty of martial artists had fa

It was clear someone had said something to Justus. Otherwise, this situation wouldn't have escalated to this point.Felix said calmly, "It was a standard therapeutic massage technique, and I was blindfolded the entire time. Does that explanation satisfy you? Or would you rather find someone else capable of treating Ms. Longstone—I'll gladly step aside if you can."Justus sneered, his eyes filled with disdain. "Cut the crap, Felix. Don't act like I don't know exactly what's going through your head. Ginny's the heiress of the Longstone residence—Gras's precious jewel. Everyone knows that marrying her is like securing the entire household. Don't tell me that thought never crossed your mind.""It didn't," Felix said simply.Unfortunately, that answer was never going to satisfy Justus. He snarled, "Listen up, boy! I'm giving you three days to get the hell out of the Longstone residence. If you don't, you won't even get the chance to regret it. Everyone else might be afraid of Gras—but I
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1533
As Wagner watched Justus explode in rage, he felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction. With what he'd just uncovered, there was no need to exaggerate—it was already explosive enough on its own.After all, Justus' future fiancée was touched in that kind of intimate way by a young, healthy doctor. Any man with a spine would lose it."But Justus," Wagner added with a smirk. "Didn't Felix just get publicly praised by the Green King?"Cloud City wasn't that big. Anyone with any influence had been keeping close tabs on Green King Manor—especially with the mystery man who walked out of Desolated Lands involved. So, the news of Felix being rewarded had already spread far and wide.Justus clenched his jaw. "So what? It's just a flash in the pan. If he was truly skilled, the Green King would've kept him. But as long as he hasn't climbed into the Green King's inner circle, I can crush him whenever I want."Wagner's grin widened. That was exactly the attitude he needed. If Justus had shown

The moment the Flame Monarch mentioned the Healer Sage, the Green King's expression shifted noticeably. "So the Sage really was living out there in seclusion... No wonder. Flame Monarch, does this mean you've taken a liking to Felix?"But the Flame Monarch waved his hand dismissively. "There's no need for that."That response made the Green King secretly rejoice. If the Flame Monarch didn't intend to recruit Felix, then he understood why—and that was perfect. It meant the opportunity to take Felix under his own wing was wide open.The night passed quietly. Felix stood beside Christopher's bedside, noticing the man's breathing had grown steady and stable.At this point, the herb had run its course and was no longer effective. But what was left inside Christopher's soul—a strange, lingering force—was exactly what Felix had hoped for.Christopher was alive but completely unconscious. The remaining energy had no regenerative properties, which meant he'd likely never wake again. For Fe
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1531
Felix wasn't the least bit surprised by the Flame Monarch's reaction, but he still feigned confusion. "Flame Monarch, I'm sorry... but I don't understand. What do you mean by soul-related injuries?"Just from that single line, Felix confirmed what he suspected—Aquamarinus had no concept of soul-based matters. Whether it was training methods or anything else, this realm hadn't yet touched that domain.The Flame Monarch stared at him, pressure radiating from his body. Felix immediately felt his limbs start to tremble under the invisible weight."You don't know? Then how could you claim to treat that man's condition?" Felix calmly pointed toward the herbs laid out on the table. "The force inside him is definitely strange. It triggered a memory... I once sensed something very similar, and it came from within that herb. It was purely instinct—when something feels familiar, there's a chance it might work."The Flame Monarch shifted his gaze to the herb, then said flatly, "Start from th

Felix gave him a direct and honest answer. "As long as I have enough herbs. I can treat him. I won't promise a full recovery, but one thing I can guarantee you is that this man won't die."For now, that was the best possible answer anyone could offer.The Flame Monarch replied, "Good. Begin. As long as you can keep him alive, you'll be handsomely rewarded."It seemed the Flame Monarch already knew something and never truly expected anyone to completely cure Christopher. Preserving his life alone would already be a feat."Flame Monarch, please reconsider!" one of the elderly doctors suddenly cut in, seething with resentment. "This boy is barely grown—how could he possibly possess such remarkable skill in medicine?"The Flame Monarch turned and gave him a cold, mocking glance. "If he can't do it, then can you?"The old man went silent. Perhaps fearing the loss of favor or acting out of sheer pride, he hesitated. Eventually, he found the courage to speak again."I admit I can't, bu
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1529
The Green King's expression changed instantly, and he turned to Felix in a hurry. "Dr. Zeller, please come with me to greet him.""Of course," Felix replied.For anyone in Aquamarinus, getting the chance to see the Flame Monarch up close was like a once-in-a-lifetime dream, and people would probably die happy just for that. Naturally, Felix put on a show of reverence as well, even if he didn't feel it deep down.As they reached the front gate, Felix saw several figures striding toward them with heavy steps. At the front of the group was a towering man, nearly nine feet tall. Even someone as built as Dave looked like a delicate bystander next to him.What stood out the most was his bright crimson hair, which flared upward like flames, making it look like his head was on fire. His facial features were fairly average, but the power behind his gaze radiated pure, undeniable authority.So, this was the Flame Monarch?Felix studied him closely. He suspected the man had cultivated some

According to the rules set by the Flame Monarch, the position of Minor Kings rotated every five years. Those who made outstanding contributions could keep their titles, but anyone who fell short would have to fight for their place all over again.The Green King knew he wasn't particularly strong—he was painfully aware of that. And with the next year marking the fifth year, the pressure was mounting fast. So when Christopher appeared, it felt like fate. If he could heal this man before the Flame Monarch arrived with his elite doctors, the credit would be immense, and his reappointment would be virtually guaranteed. Anyone who had never held a Minor King title wouldn't understand just how many perks came with it. If they did, no one would give it up willingly."I can treat him," Felix said calmly. "But I can't promise a full recovery."The Green King smiled. "Do your best. Even if you can only keep him alive, that alone is worth it."Two doctors before had said that Christopher's b
