The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 175
"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

Felix was rather taken aback to hear the man's claims, but that was just about it. After all, Xena couldn't have conjured all her fighting skills out of thin air. She had to have had a mentor or at least a sect from where she trained and learned them.Felix figured the man had to be telling at least 80% of the truth. Xena's status now was anything but ordinary. None of the sects would ever dare to crack a joke in her name like this unless they were from an extremely powerful one. The repercussions could be terrible if anyone else found out.Thinking that Felix must be shocked, the middle-aged man turned cocky and said, "Now that you're scared, you'd better hand over that snakefruit to me. It will only be a waste for you to take it away."Felix shook his head. "I'm not giving you the snakefruit, ever. It's still the same thing for me. I'm not in the mood for bloodshed today, so leave now."The next second, the man suddenly released his aura into the air. It was so powerful that the

"Doesn't this look like an acupuncture needle to you?" Xena asked.Belle replied, "Yes, milady. The needle has been confirmed to be an acupuncture needle."Xena had a strong feeling that this needle had to be the reason for Santhor's easy defeat just now. It had suppressed his true power, making it easy for her to take him down."Get all of the hotel's security footage here at once. I want to go through them myself," Xena declared."Yes, milady!" Belle nodded.Just then, a voice appeared in Belle's in-ear microphone."Milady, Perry Glover is here.""You may leave now. And ask him to come in," Belle replied.Xena felt sorry for Perry when he finally came into her office. Her uncle looked as if he had just aged by ten years."Xena! It's been so long! Why have you still not arrested Felix yet?" Perry questioned.Perry was at his wit's end. He had expected that Xena wouldn't have done anything much on her side, but to think that even the Inferno Clan hadn't made much progress eit

Sasha was confused. Why would Nora be looking for Felix? There didn't seem to be a possibility for the two of them to even know each other.In her circle of friends, Sasha looked down the most on Nora. She was a good-for-nothing sugar baby who would willingly bend over backward for money.It was most probably because Nora's family's company had gone bankrupt a few years ago, but she hadn't wanted to give up living her life of luxury. So, if she wanted to get large amounts of money quickly, the only way to do so without becoming a prostitute was to become a sugar baby to married men."Who's your boyfriend? Why would he want to kill you? That's too ridiculous."However, Nora's reply instantly made Sasha rejoice internally."Believe me, Sasha, he'll really kill me if he had the chance! He doesn't even give a fuck about people like Lord Kane. Please, can you find this someone for me?"Someone who didn't even care about Lord Kane? Sasha briefly glanced at Felix and wanted to laugh o

Felix nodded. "Because of this, I'll give you another chance. It's up to what your sister chooses to do after that."His sister? Sam's smile vanished. How dare such filthy trash like Felix bring up Dora? Did he really think that he could start spouting nonsense just because he had heard something from Kane?"Give me another chance? You've got the nerve! Although Nora's just one of my toys, I absolutely do not allow anyone else to touch her before I'm done playing with her. "But really, I'm surprised that you'd actually give a slut like her five million dollars cash. Is she even worth that much?"Sam had been thoroughly shocked when he saw all the cash at the hotel that day. Sure, he was filthy rich, and five million dollars was just another figure to him. But that was the first time he had seen it in cash form."I've already told you that it was a misunderstanding. I gave her five million dollars in exchange for some information. Can we end things here now?" Felix sighed.Sam wa

"This is so delicious! I'll have to ask Nelly for more," Felix said to himself as he finished the pasta.Shortly after, the doorbell rang— it was Queenie Larrington, his new neighbor from Villa No. 2. She stood there holding something rolled up.She explained, "I wasn't sure what to give a neighbor. I love painting, so I hope this is fine with you.""Thank you, that's very thoughtful of you," Felix replied.But Queenie did not stop there. She added hesitantly, "Could you take a look at it now? I'd love to hear your thoughts. I'm not a professional, but I really enjoy painting.""Of course," Felix agreed. He carefully unrolled the painting and was shocked to see the painting. He exclaimed, "This is incredible! How did you capture me so well after meeting just once?""So... it's good?" Queenie asked nervously."Beyond good. It's incredible! You've got some serious talent—you're definitely gifted."Queenie smiled at the compliment and left shortly after. Felix returned inside,

Melissa's outfit at that moment was enough to make almost any man lose his composure.She wore a tight, white nurse's uniform that hugged every curve of her body. The top had only three buttons, barely containing what it needed to, and with her figure somewhere between a D and E cup, it created quite the spectacle. As for the skirt, it stopped just at the top of her thighs, paired with black stockings that did not leave much to the imagination—it was something straight out of a man's fantasy.Five minutes later, Melissa returned to the room with a breezy attitude."You men are so weird," she said, shaking her head. "That guy was sweating bullets from pain and still asked for my number!"Felix's expression darkened instantly. "Melissa, are you seriously planning to work in that?"She blinked in confusion and glanced down at herself, even spinning around for effect. "What's wrong? You're the doctor, and I'm the nurse. Isn't this what nurses wear?"Felix's eye twitched as he force

"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
