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

Felix was also taken aback to hear the news. Thinking back, he had only met the Oasis Clinic chief just a while ago. He was honest and looked like he would do well in business and managing money. How could he just die in the blink of an eye?"Did he die of an illness or other causes?" Felix asked.If someone had poisoned him, that meant the rebellion in Dragon Alliance was so serious that they would dare to kill the chief. It was evident that they were unscrupulous with their ways now.Kane shook his head."I don't know. Mr. Zeller, the vice leader wants me to go over at once. I think he needs me to stand in as the temporary chief."In Dragon Alliance, it was challenging for someone to be promoted from a regular member to a deputy chief, let alone be promoted to chief from deputy chief.Kane knew he shouldn't be the next in line between himself and the other deputy chief. Maybe it was because the news that the Dragon Lord had returned had already spread among the rest of the me

"How about this—I'll sleep with you for a night, and you let my brother go?" Dora offered.Sam's jaw dropped open. He felt once more just how terrifying Felix must be for Dora to offer up her body to him like this. Most importantly, he could see the anxiety and desperation in her eyes. He didn't know what to think anymore."Jack Graham is a manager from this company. He's a good friend of mine. The Clarksons have a lot of resources to go around, right? It shouldn't be a problem for you to collaborate with them on something, right?" Felix asked while handing Dora a business card.Was that all? Dora took the business card from Felix's hand and blinked at him in confusion."Are you sure you really don't want to punish me hard in bed for what my brother did to you?"Felix was rendered speechless. He was too lazy to reply to her, so he just waved her off.It wasn't until Sam had left the premises and gotten into Dora's car that he finally dared to speak up. "Dora, how did you and Mr.

Felix thought he was hearing things. Did Xena really agree to his proposition? He stared at her in shock."Are you sure you know what you're saying? You're Dragonia's goddess of war. Do you even know what kind of position that is?" Felix asked.Xena's facial expression remained unchanged. "I just want to know the truth, that's all. It has nothing to do with whether or not you're a member of Dragon Alliance. You should know that more than I do."Of course, Felix knew that. It didn't mean that Xena would change her attitude about him just because he was a member of Dragon Alliance. At the very most, she just thought slightly better of him now."Alright. Since that's what you said."Felix didn't believe it. He didn't think that Xena would put aside her ego and really sleep with him for the night.After entering the villa, Felix went straight into his bedroom."Xena Summers, there's still a chance for you to leave if you regret this," Felix warned.He didn't know what got into Xena

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

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'
