The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 133
"Please elaborate," Felix said. He believed that although he had only exuded his demeanor a bit last night, given the elder's strength, the elder must have been frightened. The grudge with Dora would naturally dissipate as well."Sure, but you need to treat me to a meal."A while of silence later, Dora still didn't want to elaborate further. So, before ending the call, Felix said, "It doesn't matter to me."Felix left and arrived at Xena's house around 10:00 am. He had contacted her previously."Let's go up."After opening the door, Xena remained expressionless. At least, she was someone who kept to her word. She didn't stop Felix from visiting Curtis. For some reason, she followed him upstairs.Felix began to check on Curtis. Then, he let out a sigh of relief. The Phantom Poison didn't continue to spread. If so, once he got the last few herbs, he could start saving Curtis. Besides that, he could make sure that the latter could live for a while longer.When Felix was about to le

James wasn't someone who stood out. In school, he kept a low profile. It was unexpected for him to become wealthy. As expected, no one could predict one's fate.Since they used to be classmates, the pretense of a class reunion was the most appropriate setting. If Jack had invited James alone, there would have been a high probability that he would have been rejected as they weren't close friends in school. There would be nothing he could do about it.As time passed, their high school classmates entered one by one. Of course, all they engaged in was small talk. The people who had successful lives would take the initiative to speak up and ask about other people's work as well as questions about status and wealth.At last, James arrived. He came together with a classmate, Harvey Johnson, who was known as Gray. His hair color was gray, which was why he acquired such a nickname. When Felix saw Harvey pulling the chair for James, he guessed that Harvey was like a minion to him."Felix, wh

Upon hearing James say that, everyone understood the situation. No wonder Harvey made things difficult for Felix the moment he entered the room. It turned out they were doing it on purpose. They didn't hide the fact that they were targeting Felix at all.Jack narrowed his eyes and stared at James. "Before making Felix leave, I want to know how he has offended you."Felix was silent because he knew what Jack's temperament was."Do you remember the most beautiful woman in our class back then? She was my crush, but Felix was her boyfriend for two years. I've been holding onto this grudge for a long time."When Felix heard that answer, his expression became strange, let alone the others. Was this considered a grudge? What a joke. Just because James couldn't get the woman he wanted as his girlfriend, he didn't allow anyone to date her either? As expected, Jack chuckled because he was furious."Just because of that? It has already been so many years."However, James remained serious. "

Felix didn't have a choice, so he sent Wendy a message and had her act as his girlfriend. What did that mean? She had always wanted to be his girlfriend, and now, her dream had come true. Even though it was just an act, she was satisfied with it."Wendy, come and take a seat."It was only then that everyone else returned to their senses. Wendy was very beautiful and had a great demeanor. Who would have thought that Felix's girlfriend was such an excellent woman?"Nice to meet everyone."Wendy greeted everyone before sitting beside Felix obediently. James had gone to the restroom, and Harvey was feeling unhappy about the situation's development. He couldn't believe that Felix was still showing off. He felt that Felix was going too far to support his lie.Besides, why would such a woman like Felix? It didn't matter, though. Something great would happen soon."Felix, your girlfriend is so beautiful. Is she an actress you hired temporarily?"Without sparing Harvey a glance, Felix sa

Jack was dumbfounded. He didn't expect Felix to have such a wealthy girlfriend. Since James was the one who said it, it was most likely the truth. Upon hearing what James said, Felix smiled."If you don't fulfill your promise, you'll pay a huge price one day."Since James had openly challenged Felix, he was no longer frightened. He snorted and said, "I'll wait for you to make me pay the price!"Once James left, the private room fell into complete silence. After all, no one could be themselves when they were dining with the daughter of the Kinsley family."Jack, I have something to do, so I'll be taking my leave now. You guys can continue."Felix knew that the atmosphere would continue, thus he got up and left with Wendy. "Alright. Go ahead," Jack said.Jack was sincerely happy for Felix to be able to have such a girlfriend. It seemed that he had misunderstood the latter. The Range Rover must belong to Felix. It didn't matter who paid for it anymore."Thank you."After exiting

"Our general manager has something to do last minute and has returned to the company. He told me to apologize to you sincerely," Joshua said.Upon hearing that, Xena got up. "Joshua, if you want to gain a high status, then don't play tricks. If you play tricks, you'll only suffer losses."Xena was the first goddess of war in Dragonia. How dare a mere general manager of Stellar Group deceive her? What a laughable situation it was. After listening to what Joshua said, she already knew his true motive. How could she continue to stay in the private room?A few minutes later, Belle entered the private room and looked at Joshua's dark expression. Helplessly, she said, "Look. I've already told you that Ms. Summers is extremely smart and that your trick won't work on her. Do you understand the consequences of your actions now?"Joshua clenched his fists. Then, all of a sudden, he smiled. "If so, I can only show my true value. Otherwise, it'll be impossible for me to ask her out to a meal a

Looking at how proud James was, Felix couldn't help but interrupt him. "I'm listening."James snorted and acted prouder than ever. "You're unknowledgeable and think that the Kinsley family controls Avesburgh. In actuality, there are a few hidden affluent families that truly control the ins and outs of Avesburgh. And I'm the relative of one of the affluent families. Are you afraid now?"Felix's expression became strange. That explanation would make sense for James was so arrogant. "What a coincidence! I happen to know someone from one of the affluent families you mentioned. Since everyone's here, I should let you meet each other."Then, Felix pointed at a Porsche 911 that was nearby and made a gesture with his finger. He didn't say anything."Felix! Just admit that you're afraid. If you're a man, just admit it. Who are you trying to deceive?"When Harvey had just finished shouting, the door of Porsche 911 opened. After that, a woman got out of the car and slowly walked over to them

When Felix heard that, he said without stopping in his tracks, "Of course, I'm curious. But it depends on you whether or not you want to tell me about it." Dora pouted. It was the first time she met such a man like Felix, but she couldn't do anything since he was very powerful."I hate you. You're no fun at all. I'm sure my findings will shock you. But even if you treat me in this manner, I'll still tell you about it. I want you to have a taste of knowing who the enemy is but can't take action."Upon hearing that, Felix couldn't help but turn to look at Dora. "Are you saying that even you can't do anything to the mastermind?"Dora nodded without hiding the hatred in her eyes. "That's right! That guy has a great support. I can't deal with him. Otherwise, my family will be in trouble. Besides, I don't have sufficient evidence."After standing in the same spot and thinking for a while, Felix chuckled and shook his head. "I think I know who it is. It's Ted Glover, isn't it?"Dora wi

"You must be quite famous to scare this kid just by showing up," Felix joked.Kurt remained respectful, remembering Clement's warning that if Felix were dissatisfied, Kurt's position would be forfeit. His status in Gray City might be impressive, but compared to Clement, he was nothing."Since he's troubled you, Mr. Zeller, I'll take him away and handle it to your satisfaction," Kurt offered.Huxley was terrified but knew he had to beg for mercy—if Felix spoke about this incident, the consequences would be devastating. Everyone knew those who crossed Kurt met terrible fates, often along with their families."Please, no!" Huxley sobbed, but Felix waved dismissively."Get out of here, and don't let this happen again," Felix said, having no interest in wasting time on such trivial matters."You heard Mr. Zeller," Kurt prompted.Huxley scrambled away, vowing never to harass anyone again, no matter how ordinary they seemed.After George and Kurt left 30 minutes later, Felix finally h

Huxley relaxed slightly when the Rolls-Royce drove away, and the crowd began to thin. After all, everyone had at least one wealthy friend—this he could handle."Nelly, this little show doesn't make Felix any more impressive," Huxley mocked, pointing at the Lamborghini. "Anyone can rent a luxury car nowadays with some cash. So what's your answer about tonight?"Before Nelly could respond, Felix pulled her inside the clinic. "There's someone I want you to meet."Huxley was furious but hesitated to act with George present, deciding to wait until the Lamborghini left before teaching Felix a lesson."Mr. Gibson is frustrated he couldn't make it back from abroad, but he arranged for a gift that should arrive soon," George mentioned, referring to Ryan rather than Clement as Felix initially thought.Felix sighed. "Please don't make arrangements like this without asking. If everyone shows up, how am I supposed to run a normal clinic?" Gray City and Avesburgh were about the same size, an

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
