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

Felix didn't struggle against Xena and just followed her out of the elevator. Since Xena was here, that meant the masked man in the elevator had to be one of the most dangerous wanted criminals out there.He debated with himself for a brief moment. Ultimately, just before the doors closed, he shook his hand and secretly shot a needle at the man still inside.With how powerful the masked man was, Xena was definitely going to have to put up a serious fight if she wanted to take him down. And since Felix had run into their little operation here, he figured he should help her.In addition to that, they were in the middle of the bustling city center. If Xena and her team couldn't control the masked man, there would be other innocent casualties along the way.As expected, the smile on Xena's face had long vanished. "This place is very dangerous. Leave as quickly as you can!" Then, she sprinted toward the emergency staircase.Felix couldn't deny that the somewhat coquettish Xena just now

Belle immediately ran over to check on Santhor."Milady, he's dead!" she exclaimed.Xena scoffed coldly. "He deserves to die. He's the most disgusting wanted criminal on the list. Take him away!"Xena looked calm on the surface, but deep down, she was thoroughly confused. The database has said that Santhor was a very powerful person. The Earthen Hall probably couldn't even handle him, but she had defeated him way too easily just now.In fact, she hadn't even attacked him with all of her might. She recalled the final expression Santhor made before his death and wondered if she had been lucky enough to attack him right when he was feeling unwell. Perhaps something had happened to his physical body…However, none of that mattered anymore as long as this was the final outcome.Time passed by quickly. Around 4:00 pm, Felix arrived at the deserted hill Nora had told him about. However, with his keen sense of smell, he had already detected the unique snakefruit scent at the foot of the

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'
