The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 195
Felix's expression mirrored the manager's confusion. Since when did the Phoenix Legion have time for this? Or was there something more going on here? "Bro, what the hell? I've never heard of the Phoenix Legion messing with places like this before." Jack's eyes widened. He looked to Felix for answers as the hostesses scurried out. "Relax. They're probably using this as a front to catch some fugitive," Felix guessed. His explanation seemed to satisfy Jack. It made sense; otherwise, it would be hard to justify why the Phoneix Legion would come all the way to this club. "So, what about Madeline? I'm still in shock seeing our former class sweetheart here, of all places," Jack remarked.Felix's expression darkened. He could not believe it either. Back in their innocent days, he and Madeline had dated for two years. They had been naive then, and a kiss was as far as things went. There was definitely no rolling around in the sheets, but the memories they shared were still sweet. Mad

There was no way Felix did not know that man. His eyes seemed to ask if Xena had any proof of his crime."I said I don't know him. Why would I need to look closely?" Felix shot back.Xena laughed coldly and said, "You smell like snakefruit. I caught a whiff last night, and I can still smell it now! The guy in the photo had also been near a snakefruit. So I've got good reason to think you're a prime suspect in his death!" Felix leaned back on the couch. Crossing his legs, he looked completely unbothered. "Smell? That's rich. If a woman dies and you smell the same perfume on another woman, does that make her a murderer? What kind of logic is that?" Xena was fuming. She had expected this, but she had not realized Felix would be this brazen. She knew exactly how skilled Olly's disciple had been. Even someone with a gun would have had a hard time taking him out. "Fine. In that case, be ready to report to the Phoenix Legion anytime," Xena said with a huff.In the past, Felix might h

Madeline had gone home? Felix fell silent as he rested his chin on his interlaced fingers. Everyone has a golden period in their past, especially during their school days. Whether it was a real relationship or just a crush, seeing that person again as an adult felt like a good ending to their youth. This was especially true for Felix and Madeline. How could he not care when he saw her in this situation? "I'll pay 50 grand. Get her back here," Felix said.The manager shook his head. "Sir, it's not about the money. It's in her contract." Felix raised his offer. "200 grand." The manager froze as he gawked at Felix. Had he heard that right? 200 grand? "I'll throw in another 50 grand for you if you bring her back." Money was no object to Felix. He had more than he could spend anyway. "Give me half an hour, sir. She'll be here, I guarantee it." Money really could make people do anything. "Damn, first love's got some pull. 250 grand, just like that." Jack gave him a thumbs up.

By the time Jack returned to the private room, Madeline was gone. "What happened?" he asked. After Felix explained the situation to him, Jack sighed deeply. "Family can really mess you up, huh? I got kicked out, but at least I'm not drowning in debt. Damn." …It was midnight when they got back to Tabiner Bay. Instead of going home, Felix went to Yvonne's villa. He had received a call earlier. "Yvonne, what's up? It's pretty late," he said after he greeted her.Yvonne glanced at Felix. She then got up and said, "Have a seat. I'll be right back." She came downstairs a moment later, and Felix froze in his tracks. Yvonne was not even wearing pajamas. She was in purple lingerie that would make any man lose his mind. Her face was slightly flushed, and her eyes kept darting away, which made her even more alluring. "After last time, I… I've been thinking about it every night. Would you be willing to sleep with me again? I'm not looking for a commitment or to disrupt your life." F

The next morning, Felix got a call from Kane. "Mr. Zeller, we've figured out how the chief died. It was because his martial arts technique went wrong, not foul play." Since it was not murder, Felix relaxed a bit. He could now focus on Curtis' situation. "What about you?" Felix asked. Kane replied, "I've been promoted to Chief of Oasis Clinic, so I can't come back to Avesburgh. Mr. Zeller, the person I found for you should be there in two days max. Her name's Vivian. She's somewhat of a niece to me. "She's been with Dragon Alliance for almost four years and is a martial arts prodigy. She's already Deputy Chief of the Earthen Hall." The Earthen Hall? Felix was surprised. It was one of the top divisions in Dragon Alliance, as the people there handled all assassination missions. Getting in there required serious skill. For Vivian to have become a deputy chief in just a few years was indeed impressive. "Alright, tell her to contact me when she arrives," Felix said."Oh, and Mr.

"Mr. Zeller, I can't thank you enough. Our family's fate wouldn't have changed without your help," Wendy said. Felix smiled and said, "That's just how fate works. You earned this. Why thank me? You helped me plenty with those herbs, too." Wendy seemed to have gathered her courage and finally said, "Mr. Zeller, do I… do I have any chance of being with you? Given your talent, I know I don't deserve to be with you! But even if I could just be your mistress, I'd be willing to be one." Wendy was the heiress of Avesburgh's wealthiest family. Anyone who heard her speak so humbly in front of a man would have been shocked. Felix shook his head. "You deserve better. You've only seen one side of me, you hear me?" Though she had expected this, Wendy could not help feeling disappointed. "I understand. Mr. Zeller, I'll come back to visit when I can. I won't ask for much. Just answering my calls and having a meal with me would be enough." "We're friends. Isn't that what friends do?" As

A middle-aged man appeared as he said those words. His presence was intense, which made Olly's brow furrow slightly. Just by the aura, this newcomer seemed to match Olly in power. As for who was actually stronger, it would only be clear after a fight. But right now, Felix was the main issue."Did you witness my disciple's death?" Olly asked.The middle-aged man's lips curled into a smirk. "Not personally, but our guys saw it. Your disciple was killed in an instant. You really think you can take this guy down solo?" Felix turned to face the man. His eyes flashed coldly. "Inferno Clan, I gave you a chance. You've got balls sending someone else. Get ready to be wiped off the map then." He had enough on his plate and did not want to waste time on this. Plus, these assassin groups were a pain to track down. But with Dragon Alliance in his pocket now, it would not be impossible If he really wanted to find them. "Inferno Clan?" Olly's expression changed, and he chuckled and said, "Fel

Olly and the man from Inferno Clan were still standing, but their eyes were wide with disbelief. A moment later, blood trickled from their mouths. "You… you…" Olly sputtered, unable to get out another word before he and the middle-aged man collapsed. Felix shook his head with a wry smile. "Rosalie, I could've handled this myself." The woman who had appeared was Rosalie Evan, his senior. Even Xena could not match her beauty. Rosalie rushed to Felix's side before touching his face and legs. He dodged away. "Oh, Felix, let me check if you're hurt." Felix was terrified. He had experienced Rosalie's boldness all too well during his three years in Eden Village. One wrong move, and she would eat him alive, leaving nothing but bones. Rosalie pouted and glanced at Xena. "This woman is useless. If someone dared touch my man, I wouldn't waste time talking. I'd have already taken them out. Yet she's still playing by the rules. Should I just off her so you and I can ride off into the su

From what Melissa had shared, it seemed that the moment Mason died, someone must have sensed it right away."I feel like you're talking but not really saying anything," Felix remarked, raising an eyebrow.Melissa grew a little flustered. "No, it's not that! It's just… I have this weird feeling. If Mason really did have an accident, it would explain why those rumors popped up out of nowhere. "Ugh, if something really happened to him, the Jacobs family would probably be so furious. Mason's the most talented person they've had in generations."Felix did not continue the discussion, as a middle-aged man walked into the clinic at that moment."Hello, how can we help you today?" Melissa asked politely.Having an attractive receptionist really did make customers more agreeable. "I've got some stomach pain," the man replied, rubbing his abdomen."Please, take a seat," Melissa said, motioning toward the chair.Felix walked over and pretended to take the man's pulse. After a moment, h

Silas's voice carried a mix of desperation and pleading, with an undercurrent of fear that Felix found unsettling. He was confused by the warning about Zara and asked, "Mr. Grayson, what do you mean? I don't understand.""Don't ask questions—just remember your promise. Ernest was there when you swore never to meet with Zara again. That debt has been paid. Can you give me your word?" Silas pressed urgently.Felix wondered if Zara had escaped as it seemed the only explanation. "I'll keep my promise. Even if she finds me here, I'll avoid her completely."After hearing that, Silas seemed to relax a little. "Good. I hope you'll remember what you said."Felix hung up the call, shaking his head. The dynamic between Silas and Zara was so strange, as though there was some massive secret neither of them could share.…Melissa had already opened up the clinic. She was wearing a modest dress that completely concealed her figure. She asked, "Is this outfit acceptable enough?"Felix gave her

"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
