At the headquarters of the Phoenix Legion, Belle was flushed with excitement. "Milady! I'm sure Mr. Summers Senior is definitely going to be saved this time!"Xena was equally elated. After all, it was the Miracle Card at stake. Once they had it, the miracle doctor would surely appear, and Curtis' illness would be cured without question."Don't get too excited just yet. We still don't know exactly what the Kinsley family wants in exchange, and the publicity for this auction is everywhere. Even though it's only been one day, many big names are bound to come in."However, Belle was unconcerned. "I'd like to see who dares disrespect you."The smile on Xena's face faded as her voice turned cold. "Though I am a goddess of war, there are plenty of people in Dragonia who don't take me seriously. Don't try to flatter me. It won't help us secure the Miracle Card.""Oh, I'll investigate which influential figures are coming to the auction."Xena raised her hand to stop her. "No need to do t

Wendy's phone was turned off? Felix was baffled. Someone like Wendy would never turn off her phone or let it out of her sight, even for a moment. This was odd."Alright. Leave it to me. I'll make sure tomorrow night's dinner goes as planned. You just go ahead and make a reservation.""Haha! I knew I could count on you!"This was what true friendship meant. No matter Felix's status or connections, in Jack's eyes, he was simply his good buddy and nothing more. If something came up, they wouldn't hesitate to ask each other for help, and vice versa.Felix called Wendy, but once again, her phone was off. He frowned.When it was nearing noon, Felix drove his Range Rover out. Since Wendy's phone was still turned off, he decided to visit the Kinsley family.It was partly because of Jack's problem. Another part was because he was worried something might have happened to Wendy. After all, they had developed a certain level of friendship since getting to know each other.When he arrived at

When Felix parked his car, Wendy and Vincent were already waiting for him."What's going on here?"Felix got out of the car with a puzzled expression. Since nothing seemed wrong, why were all the guards stationed outside? And why did they have their phones turned off?Wendy looked embarrassed. Felix rarely contacted her, yet today of all days, he did, and it just happened to be the day they were auctioning off the Miracle Card. She felt awkward about bringing it up."Felix, there's… a bit of a misunderstanding here. Let's get inside, and I will explain?""Sure."A few minutes later, Felix had a strange expression on his face. "That's it?"Wendy nodded. "Yes. My father and grandfather were even worried that you might be upset."Felix chuckled and leaned back on the couch. "The Miracle Card has already been handed over to you. How you deal with it is up to you. Why would I be upset?"Hearing this, the members of the Kinsley family all breathed a sigh of relief. It truly would ha

"Felix, I beg you. Please help me. Take me to the Kinsley residence. Please," Xena begged.However, Felix shook his head. "I've already said it before. Your grandfather's illness can only be treated this way. Now, we still lack three kinds of herbs. Even if you invite the miracle doctor, there will still only be this treatment."Upon hearing that, Xena was enraged. There was a look of disappointment in her eyes. "Even if you're a member of Dragon Alliance, do you think you can control everything? Do you know everything? Felix, you need to be humble. "Now, I understand why you acted the way you did before. It's Dragon Alliance that you're proud of, isn't it? In Dragonia, there are factions greater than Dragon Alliance. Besides, you're only a member."When Xena saw how unbothered Felix was, she said, "Let me ask you. Are you chief or deputy chief of Dragon Alliance?""No.""The vice leader?""Nope."Felix was telling the truth. It was true that he didn't hold any of those positi

Felix looked to the side. He didn't know what car it was, but based on the current situation, it should be a luxury car. However, the person driving the vehicle was rude. People tended to act wildly nowadays, and that person's intention was obvious.Nevertheless, Yvonne didn't get angry. Instead, she squeezed out a smile. "Mr. Zimmerman, you're here too. I don't want to trouble you."Before stepping on the accelerator and speeding away, the man said, "It's rare for me to want to spend time with you. Sadly, you missed the chance."He was very arrogant and was extremely blunt. He didn't bother to hide his thoughts at all."Felix, he's George Zimmerman. He's a big shot from Yartford. You shouldn't offend him," Yvonne said.After getting into the car and advising Felix, Yvonne regretted her actions. They weren't in a romantic relationship, so why would he get angry because of what George said?"It seems that the auction this time has attracted the attention of many big shots."Yvonn

"Milady, look there. Why does Chain know Felix?" Belle whispered to Xena.Xena turned to look at them before turning back."Chain is friendly. Previously, the arrest happened in Felix's villa. Didn't you say it yourself? Felix showed up in the end. So, why is it strange?"Xena's words made sense. Belle glared at Felix. She felt uneasy. Although Felix's status in Dragon Alliance hadn't been confirmed, she hoped he didn't have another hidden side.After all, when Felix acquired the Phoenix Legion, he and Belle became enemies. Thus, she hoped that he, as her opponent, would be weaker.As time passed, the auction had begun. Bernard was hosting on the stage, but he didn't dare talk much. Since many people present were more affluent than the Kinsley family, it was most polite to keep it short."Thank you, everyone, for coming here. There's no need for cash to bid on the Miracle Card. I just hope that you all can write down how you can help the Kinsley family. We'll pick who can provide

Yvonne broke out of George's grasp and stepped back. Then, she shouted sternly, "Mr. Zimmerman, please calm down!"But George didn't care. Instead, he sat on the couch and gestured at her to come over. "I know you're a martial artist, so I won't force myself on you. Let me put it this way. "If you don't serve me well, what kind of outcome do you think you'll get based on my family's and my capability? Frankly, you're just a dog raised by someone else. Isn't it only a matter of seconds for her to abandon you when there are benefits to reap?"Yvonne's face turned pale. It was because whatever George said was the truth. Even her life belonged to Xena. When needed, Xena could use her at any time. For example, didn't Xena arrange for her to sleep with Felix previously?Right when Yvonne was feeling sad, the door opened, and Felix walked in."Yvonne, I've been looking for you. Come with me. I have something urgent to discuss with you."With a frown, George looked at him. "Get out!"F

Moonshadow Alliance? Felix frowned. He had never heard of such an alliance. What shocked him more was that the big shots were chatting loudly about it. Not even a single person discussed it quietly."This is my identity token. It's an identification method of Moonshadow Alliance that all of you know."Bernard turned around. His excitement was shown on his face. "H-Hold on for a moment!"While holding the identity token, Bernard quickly ran down the stage. He seemed to know how to determine whether it was real."Chain, what's Moonshadow Alliance? It seems powerful. Why doesn't anyone question it when the situation is related to the Miracle Card?"Chain, who was next to Felix, had a strange glint in his eyes. He realized that Felix didn't care about the outside world."Moonshadow Alliance is a mysterious alliance. I heard that it's on par with Dragon Alliance. Aside from that, it has always been overbearing. There's more detailed information, but it's kept a secret in our headquart

The bodies and limbs of the mall staff were trembling violently on the floor. When the two of them looked over again, the staff had all regrouped, rushing over once again.Were they indestructible like cockroaches? Felix and Esme began punching and kicking helplessly. Fortunately, they were both on solid ground. Otherwise, they would've tripped and fallen to their deaths.It took a bit of effort to finally disperse them all again. Having learned their lessons, they didn't dare to hesitate anymore and rushed up the stairs madly. Sure enough, the mall staff collected themselves and started moving much faster!It was coincidentally similar to the characteristics of Malevolent Phantoms. Was it just a coincidence or intentional? Felix pondered in his mind as they rushed through the emergency exit to the second floor with Esme. Finally, they reached the second floor of Orchard Square. The door behind them slammed shut—and there was pure silence. It was as if they were completely isolate
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1368
After closing the emergency door, the two finally stopped. "Are we safe?" Esme panted.After a moment of thought, Felix replied, "I think so. Then, I'll head back to grab our clothes."Esme immediately grabbed his arm. "Hey! You said you would listen to me. If you go back, can you guarantee to come back? I'm a woman, and even I don't care yet you're the one who can't let it go?"Anyone who saw them would've thought they were having an intense argument. But in fact, they were simply left with no choice."Besides, the second floor sells clothes. Why should we risk going back?"Felix rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "You're right. Okay, let's go." All of a sudden, the emergency door slammed open with a bang. A dozen of the mall staff rushed in. "Intruders! Intruders!"Without hesitation, the two of them ran upstairs. Esme stopped again after a few steps, confusion spread across her face."Do… Do they think they can catch us at that speed? I wonder what the guy controllin
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1367
Felix knew these were all illusions, but he still reacted because it looked too real. After speaking, the middle-aged man went downstairs. Esme glanced at Felix and motioned to follow him. She didn't want to alert the enemy and wanted to see what was happening first. They followed the middle-aged man down to the basement and pushed open the emergency door. They entered the basement of Orchard Square. It was a standard mall layout, after all. Felix saw two queues not too far away, but he didn't know what they were lining up for."Get in line. It'll be your turn soon." With that, the middle-aged man left. He clearly wasn't worried about Felix and Esme running away. The two of them looked at each other and Esme gave him a slight nod, intending to stay put. Felix immediately understood that there were too many people around.If a slight expression crossed his face, everyone would stare at him and he would be regarded as a foreign entity, let alone if he ran. Besides, if he moved, w

Just as Felix felt lost, a woman smiling at him from a jewelry shop nearby caught his eye. Her smile was faint, but in such an odd mall, it stood out even more. Otherwise, why would it catch Felix's eye?Her smile was fleeting, disappearing in mere seconds. If it lasted any longer, the people in the mall would probably turn to glare at him again. After seeing the woman turn around and walk away almost robotically, Felix quickly followed her at the same mechanical pace.She led him to an emergency stairwell and as Felix pushed through the door, she stood there waiting for him. "You've got the guts! Most people would've freaked out when they walked into this mall, but you seem quite calm," she said.Felix didn't know what the Black Soul Scout wanted with such an illusion, however, he didn't dare to act rashly. He was afraid of scaring them away. Besides, he could guess that the scout wasn't in the mall, otherwise, Donna would've sensed it."Who are you? What happened to Orchard Squ
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1365
According to Donna, there were three soul barriers in Orchard Square.The first one was a detection barrier, likely set up by the Black Soul Scout to avoid unnecessary trouble. It ensured that only ordinary people or martial artists could enter. Anyone who had cultivated their soul would disrupt the rules of this private paradise.The second barrier was an illusion-based one, directly affecting a person's soul to blur the line between reality and illusion.The third barrier was the most intriguing. It gathered some kind of energy from souls. Donna wasn't sure what exactly it was. The only way to find out was to step into the mall and investigate.Based on Felix's assessment, the third soul barrier was likely the true objective of Black Soul Scout. To uncover the truth and find the scout, he had no choice but to put himself at risk. There was no alternative.He was well aware that Hall of Souls knew everything about him. Even the lowest-ranked Blue Soul Envoys recognized his name.

"The soul barrier is in place. Let's get this over with. If you two see me, it'll just make things even more awkward, so it's better to start right away," Billy muttered.Inside the villa, an invisible force swept over them. Felix felt something new within his soul. It was something subtle yet impossible to pinpoint. It stirred a strange restlessness deep inside him.Just as he was about to focus on figuring out what was happening, his body reacted. Before he could process it, Xena had already thrown herself into his arms."What's going on? I suddenly feel like I need to be close to you."She clung tightly to him, yet neither of them moved beyond that embrace. Under normal circumstances, things between a man and a woman wouldn't stop here. They would probably undo their clothes."Damn it! That bastard tricked me," Felix muttered.The moment Xena got close, Felix's restless energy reached its peak, making it clear that this was definitely Billy's doing.Time passed. He had no ide
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1363
The moment the topic came up, Felix's gaze flickered, avoiding direct eye contact. No matter how you put it, even though Xena would also benefit from it, it still felt somewhat unfair. It felt that way, especially since they weren't in a relationship. If they were married or at least dating, it wouldn't be an issue at all."I'm exhausted. I need another two days to rest," he said.Billy scoffed. "I know your soul energy is depleted, but trust me. Your fatigue will disappear instantly once your souls merge. The feeling is beyond words. I'm sure you've heard from the Malevolent Phantom how irresistible Soul Binding is, even for those who've already experienced love and passion."Wait, what? Felix was speechless. It seemed that there was really no way out of it."Oh, one last thing. After you and Xena… you know, your soul energy will be completely absorbed and stored away. That means you won't have any left to wield a soul-bound weapon or use any soul attacks. Are you sure you still
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1362
There was only one explanation—Felix really could heal soul damage."Of course, I healed him. Let me rest for a bit. Wake me up when the sun comes up."Felix was utterly exhausted. Even if an S-tier Malevolent Phantom appeared beside him, he couldn't be bothered to care. If Donna had truly wanted to kill him, she would have done it long ago. There was no reason for her to wait until now.As Donna watched Felix slip into a deep sleep almost instantly, her expression grew more complex.What kind of ridiculous joke was that? Even though Leonardo was a crossbreed, his soul had already inherited the traits of a Malevolent Phantom. While it wasn't exactly the same as a true Malevolent Phantom, the essence of his soul had changed.And yet, Felix had still managed to heal him. If word of this got out, it would shake the entire Malevolent Phantom world to its core.It was like finding out that some miracle doctor could cure any disease in the human world. People would go absolutely crazy.
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1361
Leonardo's body suddenly started convulsing, and with foam spilling from his mouth, even a fool could tell something had gone wrong.Damage to the soul was entirely different from physical injuries. If one got a cut, even without treatment, their body would eventually heal on its own. However, the soul wasn't like that. Any damage was permanent and had widespread consequences. Even if just a fraction of an inch of the soul was harmed, the physical reaction could be extreme.Felix let out a long breath. "Finally got it out. It sounds easy, but doing it was incredibly difficult. Even with my soul energy, I nearly couldn't hold on."The level of precision required to make such an impossibly fine cut was beyond imagination. To do it without causing any collateral damage would require soul energy beyond comprehension.Of course, Leonardo's soul had been damaged. There was no avoiding it."At least he's alive. You've done all you could," Donna said.However, Felix just smiled. "That'
