The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 149
What? Daniel looked at Kane in disbelief, then back at Felix. Could this man before him actually be the mysterious Dragon Lord of Dragon Alliance? Kane was furious. After receiving Felix's call, he rushed to the gala right away. He would not dare discuss such matters over the phone. He could only come and apologize to Felix in person. After finishing his sentence, Kane immediately knelt before Felix. "My lord! I have failed in my duties. Please punish me as you see fit." Suddenly, loud laughter rang out. "Lord Kane, your acting is truly impressive." Even Daniel was startled. Why was Joshua causing trouble at such a critical moment? "Uncle Daniel, you really believed that? I've checked. Felix is Lord Kane's relative and is even younger than Lord Kane. Now that you're here, Lord Kane is putting on this act to protect Felix. I must say that it's very convincing." Daniel frowned, barely containing his anger. "Kane, is he your relative? Did you think I'm an idiot and could be

"This matter ends here." Felix left after saying that. Only then did Daniel let out a long breath and slump to the ground. The reason why he killed Joshua without hesitation was simply to save himself. Otherwise, his own chances of death were also high as he faced the Dragon Lord. After all, Joshua was not his son. "Kane, you nearly got me killed this time." Daniel shot a resentful glance at Kane. He could not help but feel angry. Kane gave a bitter smile in response. "Daniel, what could I do? How could I dare reveal the Dragon Lord's identity without his permission? The key issue is that you spoiled Joshua too much. He didn't even respect me as the deputy chief of Oasis Clinic! "The Dragon Lord was truly generous. When I informed him about Joshua, he said Joshua was free to pursue her, despite his prenuptial agreement with Xena. But Joshua shouldn't have interfered with the Velocis Ventures matter." Daniel was left speechless. Indeed, if he had known Felix's true identity,

"What?" Belle was shocked. Even Xena turned to look, but Belle was too focused to care now. "Are you sure?" she demanded. "I'm certain! A middle-aged man carried Joshua out the back door over his shoulder. I'm sure he was already lifeless. Judging by how his head was hanging, his neck was likely snapped." The Phoenix Legion had no shortage of experts. The person Belle sent was also a martial artist who was fully capable of sensing a normal person's breathing. There was no chance of a mistake. "Who was in the room at the time?" "Felix, Joshua, that middle-aged man, and Lord Kane, who was the last to enter." Taking a deep breath, Belle hung up and immediately reported everything to Xena. "Milady, I suspect that the middle-aged man is Joshua's uncle. But how did Joshua die?" Xena furrowed her brows. "Is it possible Lord Kane killed him? Though that seems too brazen, unlike his style."Belle strongly agreed with that point, as she knew a secret. "Milady, I can guarantee it was

Sasha quickly chimed in, "Exactly, Dad! You're really too kind." She thought to herself gleefully, "Felix is such an idiot. He helped our family so much, but now he's going to be utterly destroyed by Dora. Just thinking about it makes me so happy!" Though he said nothing more, Warren had his own plans. He could not simply accept this without giving anything in return.As a new day dawned, Kane appeared at Felix's home around noon. "Mr. Zeller, we have news about the Shimmeroot." Oh? Felix smiled, as Shimmeroot was one of the herbs needed to treat Curtis. "Did you get it, or..." Kane had woken up ecstatic to this news from his subordinates. He finally had a chance to make up for his mistake."Not yet. It's in a village on the outskirts of Avesburgh. But the old man is very stubborn. He says it's a family heirloom and won't sell at any price. My men even brought ten million dollars in cash, but the old man wouldn't budge." Another tough case? This was somewhat similar to the

Felix had not expected Ted and Perry to be meeting with Yvonne, but that was no longer important now.Ted's face darkened at Felix's sudden appearance. Cooperation with Stellar Group was a big deal. While their connections ensured it would not fall through, upsetting the president would certainly be bad. Besides, Ted had plans to pursue Yvonne, so Felix's intrusion would be humiliating."Felix! Don't you dare play the victim! Come outside with me." Ted walked over hastily. Perry put on a smile and said, "Ms. Cooper, please pay this no mind. It's just a minor conflict between young people." Yvonne nodded, curious about how Felix kept antagonizing these important figures. Did he really have such capability? She had intervened with Joshua, but what about the Glover family? Anyone who could contact their chairman was certainly of no simple character.Ted was relieved when Felix followed him out. Arguing in the private room would have damaged his image and embarrassed Perry. "Are

"Hurry! Drive faster!" Perry urged. Though he had martial artists protecting him, they were not nearly as good as Xena. Going to her was definitely the safest option.…Meanwhile, Xena was already waiting outside the Phoenix Legion headquarters, having received word of their arrival. "Xena," Ted greeted with a forced smile as he got out of the car. He could barely hide his panic. "Xena, I—" But before he could finish, he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed. "Son!" Perry quickly caught him. Xena instantly appeared by their side. After extending her right arm, her eyes turned ice-cold. "Ted... is dead." What? Perry could barely breathe and nearly fainted. They had come as fast as possible, yet tragedy still struck. Belle watched in shock. Did Ted die from a sudden illness or something else? My God! As a cousin of Lady Summers, Ted had died right in front of her. What a catastrophe!Regaining his senses, Perry roared to the sky, "Felix! I'll have your life

At Tabiner Bay, Felix sat in the courtyard of his villa as if he were waiting for someone. His phone rang. It was Kane. "Mr. Zeller, Daniel just called. He said Belle came to ask him about last night's incident in the gala room. He told her Joshua died of a sudden heart attack and didn't reveal your identity." Felix knew someone was watching outside—someone Belle likely sent. Joshua's death could not be kept secret forever, as it would eventually reach Xena. This was why Felix had not immediately driven Daniel out of Avesburgh.Others' words might be useless, but Daniel was the chief of Dragon Alliance's Disciplinary Hall. His status spoke for itself. Belle would at most ask a few questions and would not dare verify personally. So, Joshua's matter was easily settled. "Tell Daniel to call Belle back and say this..." "Understood, Mr. Zeller." Felix was not one to always hide things. Sometimes, what had to be done should be done—just like Ted's death now. Xena's side surely h

"Mr. Rush.""Ms. Cooper, I forgot to tell you something last night. Felix is also a member of Dragon Alliance."What?Belle's mouth dropped wide open as she stared at Felix in disbelief. To be honest, she had never experienced such an overwhelming shock in her entire life.In her eyes, Felix had always been an ordinary doctor from the countryside. And now, she was suddenly told that he was a member of the extremely prestigious and powerful Dragon Alliance. Could there be anything more shocking than this?"What's wrong?"Seeing Belle standing there as if she had turned to stone, Xena frowned. Something important had clearly happened.Belle, being snapped back to reality, looked slightly fazed. She managed to gather herself. "Milady, just now... Daniel called me. He said..."Xena's expression darkened. "Don't make me ask a second time!"Belle swallowed. She really didn't want to say it out loud. "He said Felix is also a member of Dragon Alliance!"In an instant, Xena narrowed h

"You brat! Why do you always have to bring that? I'm hanging up." Gerald scoffed."Wait, Mr. Hoffman!" Felix shouted. There was something even more critical he hadn't yet addressed. "My soul… it has a problem."Gerald grew serious. "Don't scare me. Soul-related issues are no small matter.""Here's what happened. Headquarters initially sent me to Seapoint for a mission, and I encountered..." Felix recounted everything in full detail. This was Gerald, his mentor, after all. There was nothing he couldn't share."Vigilantes? And no one remembers them? Destiny Crystals? Honestly, I've never heard of these things," Gerald admitted. "But what you're describing is beyond bizarre! Especially the ability to erase all memory of their existence. There are only a handful of individuals in the entire Dragonia capable of that."Felix was stunned. "What? Can people actually do that? How many more unbelievable things are hidden in Dragonia?""Did you show it to Fatso?""Fatso? Who's that?" Fel

A moment ago, Felix's mind was preoccupied with Helena, so he hadn't asked Xena any questions. But since Gerald called, he wouldn't let this opportunity slip by, especially not with someone as close to him as he was.Gerald began, "Lone Paragon! Do you realize how precious it must be for the country to safeguard it for so many years without letting anyone learn it? There's even a rumor that it's not from Earth. That might be an exaggeration, but it still speaks to its mystique."He continued, "To get to the point, what makes Lone Paragon so irresistible to martial artists is its power. Once mastered, it allows you to triple your combat strength for one whole hour with zero side effects. And you can use it again after 24 hours.""What?" Felix shot to his feet. It was almost too good to be true.A chance to triple one's combat strength! Anyone who obtained the ability would become invincible among their peers, and defeating stronger opponents would be effortless. The fact that it las

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
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 884
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
