The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1261
Felix frowned. "What's your deal?" The young man moved with total class, his eyes radiating pure confidence. "Was it hard to understand what I just said? I said you can leave now." Justin sensed something, too, so he screamed, "Help me!" The young man coldly laughed, casually blocking Felix's soul attack with a raised hand. "Are you really going to try something with me here?" The truth was, Felix had zero interest in fighting an S-tier Malevolent Phantom right now. He never wanted to fight against one in the first place. After seeing what Justin could do as an A-tier, he could tell how much more terrifying an S-tier would be.But there was no chance Felix would let his prey walk away that easily. Plus, what confused him was that Donna had mentioned Malevolent Phantoms never fought each other. What was this Phantom thinking? Perhaps he did not have a Mystical Explosive Orb now. Or was he really just trying to save one of his own kind? "I wonder what will happen if I tell D

Justin went into a maniacal laugh. "Kill him quickly! His soul must be incredibly delicious." Slowly lifting Justin's head, the young man's eyes turned ice-cold. "Do I need you to tell me how to do things? While I can't kill you, I know plenty of ways to make you wish you were dead if you say another word."Justin was terrified, so he immediately shut his mouth. He probably would not dare to say a word again. Suddenly, a phone rang. The young man pulled out his phone. He sighed before even answering, then tucked it back in his pocket. "You little brat, try to attack me again, and I won't care about Donna's feelings!" He tossed Justin's head to the ground and strolled away, humming a tune. Justin panicked. "Save me! You can't abandon me!" Felix's face darkened. He instantly killed Justin, then stood frozen in place. Though the encounter with the S-tier Malevolent Phantom was brief, he was genuinely scared. Even with the Lone Paragon activated, would he stand a chance agains

Felix stood pondering. Donna's warning about not visiting Laurel Resort meant notable danger. They were working together, and if something happened to Felix, they would need a new vessel for the Mystical Explosive Orb. She had invested so much time finding someone like Felix, whose soul essence collection abilities were solid. Naturally, she would not want to switch easily. But what could be the danger at that resort? Unable to stay passive, he immediately called Xena. He did not even care about how late it was already. It was something they were all used to anyway. As expected, she answered after a few rings. She sounded like she had been woken up. "What is it?" Felix's late-night call immediately put her on alert. "Does headquarters have any information about Laurel Resort?" After a few seconds, Xena responded, "No. What information did you get?" "Just check it for me." "Okay." He also notified the headquarters' local Monaire representative about the bodies. They co

Milo said, "Exactly. A nation protects its people. When things get serious, nobody can stay safe. Even hiding in the mountains won't guarantee your security. "Martial artists do carry a legacy of duty." After chatting with Milo, Felix left. Milo and Melinda were heading to the airport. Since their mission was done, they needed rest. Felix could not provide any updates on the investment in Yolanda's company yet. After all, a 50-billion-dollar deal would take more than a day to assess. No one would believe a snap decision. When he was leaving the hotel, Lars' call came through. It was surprisingly early for a rich young man like him to call. "What's up, Mr. Lennings?" "We've got a problem. The Meyers are planning to crush Yolanda's family today. What should we do?" What? That was lightning-fast. The Zuckerbergs were already on the edge. One more push from the Meyers, and they'd collapse before Felix's "think tank" could even consider investing. Of course, Felix was not go

Zachariah's face darkened. Felix's arrogance was getting out of hand. He thought, "Alright, then. I'll have my father know about this—we'll show you how even someone like Fifteenth Overlord couldn't help you." Initially, they would have shown some professional courtesy. But Felix's bold attitude immediately changed his approach. After entering the living room, Zachariah whispered something to Colton, then glared viciously at Felix before sitting down. Louise began making polite small talk with Colton, carefully avoiding the real purpose of his visit. When the moment felt right, he spoke up, "Mr. Meyer, I have a small favor. This young man and I have a family connection. I'm asking you to consider the Zuckerberg family's situation. "Could you do me a favor and let this go? Of course, he and Zachariah had a minor conflict. But that's just typical young people stuff." Colton laughed. "How can I refuse? But my family has a reputation. Their conflict has already spread through M
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1266
FSince the start, Felix sat there without saying a word. The moment he arrived, he had already expanded his domain, yet he could not find anyone matching Fifteenth Overlord's description. As he watched the Meyers father-son duo, their reactions confirmed his suspicion—the man was not home. Since that was the case, the only option was to tie these two up and wait.Just as the Fifteenth Overlord's killing intent grew stronger, a voice suddenly rang out. "Releasing such intense bloodlust in my house? Looks like I've been too nice to you."Before the words had even faded, a figure abruptly appeared in the living room. His face was covered, leaving only a pair of piercing eyes visible."Uncle Chris!" Zachariah was ecstatic, immediately pointing at the Fifteenth Overlord. "He's trying to kill us!"The moment their backup arrived, relief washed over the father and son, their eyes now burning with unrestrained vengeance."I thought you weren't home," the Fifteenth Overlord said, but he
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1267
Not just the others—even the Fifteenth Overlord stood there in stunned silence, completely caught off guard by Felix's words. He thought, "The guy is wearing a mask, yet he still dares to say something so bold. Just how confident is he? This has to be the most arrogant thing anyone had ever said."Sure enough, Zachariah's veins bulged in fury. "Bullshit! Uncle Chris, he's insulting you right to your face, and you're just going to take it?"He could not understand why Chris was acting like a completely different person. For a split second, Zachariah even wondered if someone was impersonating him.Chris stood there, his expression completely unreadable. "I have no idea what you're talking about. Out of respect for the Fifteenth Overlord, I'm letting this slide. Zachariah will apologize, and then you'll leave."Felix suddenly reached out his right hand, and in an instant, Chris was yanked toward him, his throat caught in a firm grip. Felix sneered. "Still putting on an act? You kn

Besides, soul extraction required immense control over soul energy—one wrong move, and the soul could be damaged beyond repair, leaving the person a mindless husk. Worse, the process itself was excruciatingly painful."Start talking." Felix lowered his hand. He preferred getting information through direct confession rather than sifting through someone else's memories.After that, a simple soul search at the end was enough to confirm whether they were telling the truth. As for whether Chris was hiding anything important, it did not really matter. Just like the Blue Soul Scout Felix had captured in Kashmere, headquarters would handle the deeper interrogation later—nothing would slip through the cracks.Chris exhaled. "You already know about Soul Scouts, which means you've caught one before. I'll cut straight to the point—I know the exact location of a Green Soul Scout." Felix's interest was piqued. "Oh? Now that's interesting. Did you find out by chance, or was there a specific re

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

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

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
