"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

Felix's expression turned rather peculiar when he heard those words. He did not reproach Dora for playing both sides. Instead, he was surprised that Xena would come all the way here because of him. Had she discovered something? "I don't plan on causing trouble for anyone. After all, I'm a law-abiding citizen." Xena furrowed her brows. She stared at Felix for a long while before speaking again. "That's for the best. You know very well how unworthy you are. You think I came here because I was worried about your safety? You're wrong! If it weren't for your contribution in finding the Grimflower last time, I wouldn't care about you at all." She turned and took a few steps, then looked back. "People like you need to know their place. Living an unsatisfactory life should be the least of your worries. If you lose your life, you won't even have the chance to regret it." Felix smiled as he watched the car drive away. "It's better if you think that way." He went to the neighboring v

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Holt Senior." "Well, well. Yvonne, you're quite a beauty with great poise. And to have Felix cook such a feast for you! Seems like you two have quite a special relationship." For some reason, Yvonne seemed flustered. "You must be joking, Mr. Holt Senior. Felix and I are just friends. His grandfather helped support me in the past." After Yvonne finished explaining, Ernest sighed. "No wonder Felix has such strong values. It runs in the family." The meal went smoothly. Ernest left early, as if knowing he should give the two young people some time alone. As soon as he stepped out, he called Sherlyn. "Grandpa." "My dear granddaughter, you have competition. Though I'm not sure of her exact background, in looks and other aspects, she's only slightly behind you." Sherlyn pouted. "Humph! Don't you have confidence in your precious granddaughter, Grandpa? As long as Felix isn't married, I still have a chance. But hearing you say that, I think I need to speed u

As night fell, the ballroom on the third floor of a five-star hotel in Avesburgh became the venue for the Stellar Group's business gala. Normally, a company of this caliber would host events at extremely grand locations like resorts. But no one thought that way here, as true luxury came from the company's own solid reputation. Countless people were desperate to attend but lacked the qualifications to receive an invitation. "Dad! Do... Do you think we can really get one of the partnership slots?" asked Sasha nervously. The Quinton family of three had arrived. As the future inheritor of the family business, Sasha naturally wanted their company to be as strong as possible. "I don't know." Beside them, Nattie smiled. "Of course we can. The fact that Felix got Lord Kane to arrange an invitation for us means a lot. Why else would he invite us? No matter what, Felix wouldn't dare mess with your father like that." Hearing this, Sasha's eyes lit up. "You're right, Mom. If Lord Kan

As Belle left, Felix furrowed his brows. He sensed something was off but was unable to pinpoint it. There would certainly be problems if Xena had interfered. But from what he knew of her, Xena was not petty enough to do that. That woman was just too proud and dismissive of others. She was not one to play underhanded tricks. In a room within the ballroom, Belle entered to find Joshua already seated. "Did you see Ms. Summers?" she asked. A flash of displeasure crossed Joshua's eyes. "I did, but she ignored me. It seems she's still upset about the dinner incident."Belle nodded and smiled. She said, "Don't mind it. I've told you. Many pursue Ms. Summers. You need to be patient! By the way, has your uncle arrived?" "Yes. He should be landing soon and coming straight here. Remember to pass on my message. This is our make-or-break moment." More than that, Belle looked forward to seeing Felix's shocked expression later. Afterward, Joshua would do something that would deliver a crus

Felix's face remained expressionless. But truthfully, he was caught off guard. This was something he had instructed Kane to handle. Kane must have been very confident for him to take full responsibility without involving the chief of Oasis Clinic. Yet it had somehow gone wrong. Combined with Belle's earlier words, it seemed someone had interfered. They clearly did not care about Kane's involvement. Felix took out his phone and called Kane. "Mr. Zeller." "Velocis Ventures wasn't chosen by Stellar Group as their business partner." What? On the other end, Kane felt like he had been hit by a bomb and instantly broke into a cold sweat. The consequences of this were extremely serious. If Felix thought he was being toyed with, Kane's life would definitely be in danger. "Mr. Zeller, I... I really don't know. I..." "Who did you talk to?" Felix was a reasonable person. From his interactions with Kane recently, he knew Kane was loyal to Dragon Alliance. So naturally, he would not

Felix nodded—that was precisely what he was thinking."It's because headquarters got approval to offer the ultimate prize to the champion," Xena said mysteriously.She leaned forward and whispered, "It's Lone Paragon."Xena thought Felix would react wildly. But to her shock, he seemed unimpressed. "Have you never heard of Lone Paragon?""Should I have?" Felix asked flatly.Xena sighed. "Fine. I only learned about it myself after this tournament was finalized. Lone Paragon is an ancient secret technique passed down through the ages. It's been safeguarded by the country for centuries and has never leaked out."An ancient technique that was valued by the country? It had to be extraordinary, then."If it's truly that remarkable, wouldn't the champion become a target for everyone? I doubt this tournament allows contestants to use fake identities or disguise themselves, right?" Felix asked.It was an important question. If he became the focus of countless ambitious warriors, his life

Felix was taken aback by the question. "Decide what?"Nala was nervous and didn't know how Felix would respond. While terrified of hearing the answer, she couldn't help but hope for clarity.Xena also felt conflicted. For the first time, she felt uncertain and doubted her charm, which was rare for her. It was a moment of vulnerability, a decision every woman dreads."You can choose to stay here at the clinic or come with me. I have something important to discuss with you," Xena said, surprising herself with how much her tone had shifted.She intended to confront Felix, but her tone softened, catching her off guard. Why was she suddenly uncertain about her feelings for a man who had fought hard to win her back?"I'll come with you," Felix replied without hesitation.If Xena was asking, it was likely related to a mission, so Felix didn't dwell on what Nala might think. He followed Xena without a second thought.Once they had left, Melissa asked, "Nala, why are you smiling?"Nala

Felix chuckled. "You're a grown man, yet you're still hung up on things like this! Not just anyone can be my follower. Sure, some might see you as cowardly or disloyal, but I've always believed people can change. So stop worrying about how others see you, and even more so about how I do."Felix tossed a pill over. "This is a new formula I developed. It's designed to boost the strength of those who mastered Blood Realm. Give it a try.""What?" Selmer quickly caught the pill. It turned out Felix hadn't forgotten about him after all. "Thank you, Mr. Zeller! Thank you!"In truth, Felix had created this pill a while ago. However, he wasn't sure of its effects or whether it might even be harmful. So he hadn't dared to let Selmer use it. However, after the success of the Windseeker Pill during his mission in Guneria, Felix was confident that the medical text's descriptions were accurate.Even the most basic pills from the text could enhance the strength of warriors who were already consid

Upon seeing Billy's astonished expression, Felix was stunned. He hadn't expected Billy to notice something unusual.Ever since getting to know Billy, Felix had come to trust him despite his air of mystery. With all the skills Billy possessed, if he wanted to harm Felix, he could have done so long ago. There was no need to wait.After some pondering, Felix decided to let Billy take a look while framing it as a joke. If Billy noticed something, they could discuss it. If not, it would just be a fleeting joke."What's wrong? Is there something different about my soul?" Felix pressed.Billy widened his eyes and rubbed his chin. "What the heck did you get into this time? I don't know exactly what's in your soul, but as far as souls go, it's..."After a long pause, Billy still hadn't said another word. Felix grew impatient. "Well? Is it good or bad?""Good! It's a blessing! Whatever this thing is, it nourishes the soul, enhances the power, and has countless benefits." Billy rubbed his

As the Phoenix Warlord, Xena was well aware of the terrifying reputation of the Westerio Order abroad, which only made Felix's accomplishment even more impressive.The success of this mission would earn her a medal from headquarters, a rare honor for someone newly appointed as the Phoenix Warlord. It would also be a first in the organization's history.And all of this was because of Felix.…Meanwhile, in the cabin, Felix gazed at Helena with a complicated look. "You don't have to meet such a fate. While I can't avoid turning you in, I could stop you from meeting Tony."Helena smiled and kissed Felix on the cheek. "There's no need. This is my destiny. It cannot be changed."Though he couldn't claim to have fallen for her, Felix couldn't deny a stirring of emotion."I can change it. I'll report that you shouldn't meet him," Felix insisted.Helena shook her head. "Absolutely not. If you stop us from meeting, then there will come a time when death is a luxury to me. Do you really

Felix smirked. "After all that talk, it's all just a ploy to escape. You think I'll fall for it?"Admittedly, Helena was beautiful. A lesser man might have found her hard to resist. "You've been by my side all along yet were unaffected by my abilities. All of it was an act. Don't you want a beautiful woman like me?" Helena smiled.Felix stood up and prepared to leave. "Rest up. Don't try anything reckless, or you'll be the one to suffer."The next moment, Helena suddenly tore off her dress, revealing her seductive form. But Felix turned away and missed the sight."My mission is almost complete," she murmured.As Felix walked, he felt his body waver. He pulled out the harmonica and started playing while lighting another piece of memorial coin.Helena immediately showed signs of agony. But moments later, Felix felt his strength draining. His vision blurred, and he no longer had the energy to continue playing the harmonica."Stop resisting. This is your destiny, as well as mine.
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 882
Felix took out a memorial coin and lit it on fire before playing the harmonica again.As the memorial coin began to burn, Helena's expression twisted in pain. "Impossible!"Her body shook uncontrollably. "Stop! Felix, you love me, right? Please, stop! I'm begging you."But there was no way Felix would stop. It was clear that Helena was far more formidable than the man from Seapoint.Finally, as the memorial coin burned to ashes, Helena fell to the ground unconscious. Felix swiftly loaded Helena into the car. After nodding to Wayne and Reagan, he drove off in the opposite direction.The car was headed toward a coastal area that would take about four hours to reach. Luna had arranged a smuggler's boat there, and everything was prepared.When Helena woke up, the first thing she saw was Felix sitting a short distance away, and she felt the unmistakable rocking motion of a boat on the sea. "Where are we?""On a ship bound for Dragonia," Felix replied cautiously.Helena smiled bitter

Elliott covered the microphone and turned to Felix. "There's a problem. Who is the woman you wish to abduct? Mr. Robins just told me that a high-ranking member of the Westerio Order approached one of ours and demanded a woman named Helena be safely escorted into the city once this was over.""What?" Felix's expression fell. If that was true, his plan was ruined. Waiting for another chance could take forever. "Is there no way to resolve this?"Elliott pondered for a moment before his eyes lit up. "Let's put it this way. Mr. Robins has a lot of influence. There won't be a problem if he crosses the senators. You've met him before. He's the one deeply knowledgeable about Dragonia's culture. However..."Elliott trailed off. But Felix caught on—everything came with a price."Tell Mr. Robins he can find me in Dragonia if he needs anything, or I can come to him." Felix sighed.Elliott nodded and relayed the message. Shortly after, he hung up the call. "He agreed. It's mainly because you

Impressed by Jesse's loyalty, Helena teased, "How many Scarlet Cardinals can you gather on such short notice?"Jesse fell silent, realizing the impracticality of the suggestion. The 12-mile perimeter in the desert was too vast. It would require over 20 Scarlet Cardinals for complete coverage, and there were not even that many in all of Guneria.Helene continued confidently, "Don't bother. No one who could overpower me exists yet, so let's not make a big deal of this. Neither Reagan nor that facility would have such a person." She had completely dismissed Felix as just an ordinary person, thanks to his masterful use of the Nightshade Discipline technique borrowed from Darren. With Felix's skill level, using it perfectly masked his martial artist aura, making him seem utterly unremarkable.…As they approached the facility, Felix felt elated when he noticed all traces of the powerful guards had vanished. Elliott was telling the truth—the Westerio Order really would not dare come ne
