The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 169
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

Standing to each of George's sides was a middle-aged man. Anyone would know that they were both highly skilled martial arts masters. After all, someone from the Zimmerman family would not skimp out on their bodyguards."You're here to seek revenge on me?" Felix mocked.George chuckled coldly. "Seek revenge? Someone like you isn't even worthy of that. I'm just crushing a fly on my way before boarding the plane."Suddenly, loud footsteps were heard. The people next to George were on guard at once. Their eyes were full of suspicion because they didn't actually feel anybody else's presence.However, Felix had sensed them a long time ago. He had thought that they were George's men. But now, he knew that he had been mistaken."That's quite the description. You're referring to yourself as the fly, right?"The footsteps stopped, and a woman appeared in the middle of the living room. She glared icily at George.Immediately, George jumped to his feet. Even Felix had also recognized the wo

"Oh, maybe it's because he thinks I'm not worth his time because even flies are more significant than I am," Felix replied.He couldn't possibly answer that Moonlight Alliance was Dahlia's property, which was the main reason why George ran for his life, could he?"Whatever it is, I'm just glad to know that he didn't come here to continue causing any trouble for you."It still didn't quite make sense to Yvonne, but the outcome was what was most important to her anyway."Since you're alright, I'll be going back, then," Yvonne said.Truthfully, Yvonne had already developed feelings for Felix. After all, during their parents' time, it was common for people to first get married before falling in love with each other. Of course, it was impossible for her not to develop any feelings for Felix after sleeping together once and occasionally spending time together like this.However, Felix was Xena's fiancé, so whatever Yvonne did, she didn't dare to harbor any hopes for their relationshi

Felix hung up immediately after that. Xena got so mad that her eyebrows shot up at once."Fuck you, Felix! Are you telling me what to do?"However, when she thought of the fact that Seth would soon be coming in two days, she managed to calm down afterward.Xean went downstairs and retrieved the encrypted laptop the headquarters had provided her with. Then, she went into the database.She was able to search up information on each of the chiefs from Dragon Alliance. She didn't want to appear ignorant when she went to meet them tomorrow.Since there was an agreement between Dragon Alliance and the headquarters, Xena was able to find the information she wanted. However, there were few people who had access to retrieve this kind of information.Only a handful of people had access, and Xena was one of them.Even Belle wasn't allowed to access confidential information like this. Of course, Xena wouldn't tell her either. That was against the rules.After all, if the enemies of Dragon A

However, Felix frowned when he glanced around the room. "Why are there so many people here?" he asked.Kane was stunned. He hurriedly looked up and said, "My lord, is there… Is there something wrong?"Felix walked over and took a seat. "Everyone, you may raise your head." He then looked at Kane and said, "I told you to just bring three chiefs. Why did you bring them all?"Only three? Kane was startled. He hurried over to retrieve his phone, sweating profusely all over his face. "My lord, you told me to bring them all."After listening to the voice message, Felix sighed in exasperation. Kane probably didn't pay particularly close attention to the message, and part of it had indeed been drowned out by the harsh speaker sound. So, Kane couldn't be blamed for the mishap."Whatever. Now listen up, all nine of you. In a while, the goddess of war, Xena Summers, will be coming. I need you to vouch that I'm a member of Dragon Alliance. Understand?"The chiefs exchanged looks of confus

"Lady Summers, may we know the reason for your sudden visit?" Daniel asked. His sudden question snapped Xena back from her stupor."Didn't Felix tell you?" Xena replied.Daniel briefly glanced at Felix before answering, "What was he supposed to tell us? We're here for a meeting while Felix is out running errands. Don't tell me you're here just because you're upset that we didn't tell you beforehand we were coming to your territory."The nine chiefs from the Dragon Alliance were having a meeting in Avesburgh. However, Xena, the goddess of war, had heard nothing about it. She felt like a failure at that.However, by this point, Xena did not need to ask any other questions. She had already heard enough to confirm that Felix was indeed associated with the Dragon Alliance."I'm sorry for interrupting. I'll be leaving now," Xena said. She turned, intending to leave. Belle immediately went out after her with a look of confusion on her face."Milady, only the chief of the Disciplinary

"I just wanted to know if you'd been somewhere in the past three days where you smelled something unusual," Felix told the woman.Snakefruits had a particularly strong fragrance, but regular people wouldn't be able to tell where the smell was coming from. Also, the snakefruit scent would only last a maximum of three days on a person before disappearing. That was why Felix structured his question like that.The woman frowned as she thought for a long time. Her eyes lit up as she replied, "Now that you mention it, I went hiking with a friend the other day and smelled a really nice scent somewhere in the hills. But we somehow just couldn't pinpoint its exact location."Felix's smile widened. It was just as he had suspected."Can you please tell me where it is? I can give you the money first if you're worried they might be fake. You can check the authenticity."There were ways for people to verify the authenticity of banknotes online nowadays. So, Felix just closed the case back up an

"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
