Felix had met Stinger several times and thought he was decent. He was Kane's right-hand man, after all. But he was already facing rebellion right after taking over. "If it were Kane, I'd be on my knees apologizing and wiping the debt. It's a shame you only know Stinger." Just as Hunter finished, a car pulled up, and Stinger stepped out. "Stinger! What an honor! What brings you to our shop?" In a heartbeat, Hunter's tune changed. He was now all smiles and bows. "Mr. Zeller." Ignoring Hunter, Stinger went straight to Felix and bowed. Hunter's eyes widened. It seemed this young guy was a bigger fish than he thought. "Give me your account number. I'll transfer now." Felix kept it short. Proving his earlier bravado, Hunter coughed up his account details. When the text alert pinged, Hunter checked and frowned. "500 thousand dollars? What's the deal?" Felix pocketed his phone. "I told you the price changes when Stinger shows up. Now, you only deserve 500 thousand for the principal

At the same time, a helicopter descended over the Great Imperial Sect. Xena stepped out, accompanied by two subordinates carrying a corpse covered with a white cloth.Every seat was filled except one in the Great Imperial Sect's council hall.The five remaining elders, the sect leader, and the deputy leader were all present."Ms. Cunningham."Xena greeted Jaxon with a deep bow. The sect leader of the Great Imperial Sect, Jaxon Cunningham, sat in front of everyone with a solemn expression."It's been years, and yet you came back only to deliver a corpse. As your mentor, I can't help but feel ashamed."Anyone else could hear the dissatisfaction and anger in his tone, not to mention Xena."Mr. Cunningham, Olly was killed by a mysterious woman. I'm doing everything I can to track her down," Xena explained.Just as she finished speaking, an elder interjected."Xena, we old folks may be on the verge of death or hidden away in the mountains, but we're not ignorant. Are you trying to

Ten minutes later, inside the council hall, the atmosphere among the Great Imperial Sect members was tense, and no one said a word."Mr. Cunningham! Are we really going to detain Xena like this? Is that fine?"The deputy sect leader, who was arrogant and dismissive of Xena, now appeared worried.After all, while his seniority might allow him to treat her this way, Xena's identity as the goddess of war was a whole different matter."Exactly, Mr. Cunningham. Xena is the goddess of war, and if Hector gets involved, we're in serious trouble."In Dragonia, were there sects that dared to defy the Warlord of the East openly? Yes. But the Great Imperial Sect was definitely not one of them. The authority of the Warlord of the East wasn't just an empty title.However, Jaxon didn't seem concerned."There's no need to worry! We'll just say that Xena was deep into her cultivation and returned to the Great Imperial Sect to go into seclusion. Even the Warlord of the East won't interfere."The

"Simple! You've humiliated me, and you even hit Sasha. She's made it clear that I should inform you of this. Tomorrow night, go to this place and apologize to her and me. Otherwise, don't blame her for not giving any face, not even for her father," Ruth declared.Felix smiled."Alright, I'll definitely be there. You can also tell Sasha that from now until the meeting time tomorrow, she still has a chance to change her mind. Otherwise, I'll make sure she spends the rest of her life in a wheelchair."Did Sasha really think that just because Warren had her back, she could act as she pleased? She had already been involved in a lot of messy situations."Interesting. I'll be sure to pass on your message."Meanwhile, in a high-end café, Jack arrived at the entrance. Judging by the interior, he could tell that the person who had arranged to meet him wasn't ordinary. The person had only mentioned they were Felix's friend and nothing else.When he entered the room, Jack was stunned. The wo

How big was Stellar Group? It was a top-rank company in the entire Dragonia. Forget about being a vice president, just passing the layers of screening to work there was something most people could only dream of—the kind of dream that would make you laugh in your sleep. The benefits and perks offered there were unimaginable for an ordinary office worker.Plus, to add one percent of shares in the company, there were simply no words to describe how valuable that was. Most people would grab the pen and sign the contract immediately after seeing it. To put it bluntly, even if Yvonne mistreated them later, they would do it without hesitation.What was more important, poverty or dignity? Only those who had truly experienced it knew the answer.However, Jack didn't hesitate even for a second. His expression darkened, and he stood up."Ms. Cooper, I don't care what your status is. If you dare to harm my buddy, I'll give up my life to drag you down with me!"As he was about to leave, Yvon

The girl's ponytail swayed as she turned around, seemingly having heard the sound. She was indeed very beautiful, with a mix of innocence and allure that was hard to define.The girl bent over in a bow, her eyes sparkling with excitement."I'm Vivian Murphy, the deputy chief of Dragon Alliance's Earthen Hall. I've met the Dragon Lord before."If they weren't outside, Vivian would probably have already kneeled down."So, you're Vivian? It seems you've come a bit early."Felix opened the gate, and Vivian followed closely behind."I have the opportunity to serve the Dragon Lord. How could I let anything else distract me?"Vivian's heart was still far from calm. When Kane had informed her that she would be serving the Dragon Lord directly, the emotion she felt was indescribable.Once inside the living room, Felix gestured for Vivian to sit."To become a deputy chief of one of the Dragon Alliance's subsects at such a young age is an impressive achievement.""Thank you for your pra
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 211
At that moment, Vivian was utterly at a loss. Felix had hurriedly rushed out of the bathroom while in the middle of his shower.Looking at his solid chest, abs, and droplets of water glistening on his body, she felt her breath quicken. She had seen things she definitely shouldn't have seen."Call and gather all the members of Earthen Hall immediately. We're heading to the Great Imperial Sect!" Felix ordered."Got it!" Vivian responded.In the nearby villa, Yvonne received a phone call."Ms. Cooper, just as I was about to act, someone else made the first move. Since I didn't have orders and it all happened suddenly, I can't follow from behind."Oh? Was someone else trying to kidnap Jack?Yvonne frowned. Her missus' plan had been to kidnap Jack and then notify Felix. Since Felix was a martial artist, they wanted to test his capabilities, especially in a state of extreme anger, when a person could perform at their peak. The two contracts were meant as compensation for Jack's kidnap

But once Felix entered the Great Imperial Sect's territory, it would all be beyond everyone's control. Xena knew very well that the Great Imperial Sect still had a Supreme Elder whose strength was unfathomable. No matter how powerful that mysterious woman might be, there was no way she could stir up the slightest trouble here."Mr. Cunningham, how could you…"Xena smiled bitterly. There were things she couldn't say out loud. She was well aware of the kind of person Olly's apprentice was. He was someone who only cared about personal gain. He became arrogant and reckless, thinking he had the sect's support.There was no need to investigate what had happened. Felix must have been the first to discover the snakefruit, and Olly's apprentice had tried to kill him and steal it, only to be killed himself in turn.On this side of the world, people would say he deserved it. However, according to Dragonia's laws, Felix had still committed murder, and there was no doubt he would be charged w

Naturally, Felix saw Dave as well. He immediately stopped his horse. The fact was that he didn't overthink the situation. "Mr. Abbott." Dave's heart was also filled with emotions as he looked at Felix. After all, the latter also cured his family of a complicated condition. "Dr. Zeller, there's nothing I can do for you except to see you off." Be that as it may, Dave knew that Felix's chances of survival were slim at best. This would be the last time he saw him in person. The Green King was actually quite pissed off at Felix. He had made it clear about what was at stake here, and yet Felix still foolishly threw his life away for a bunch of villagers. It was stupidity—plain and simple. "I appreciate it, Mr. Abbott. I'll be taking my leave now," Felix said.Joaquin, who hid in the dark, let out a sigh of relief after Dave saw Felix off. At first, he thought the Green King was actually going to intervene in this matter.Eira was also standing nearby the city gates. If Felix ha

Leandre?Felix chuckled bitterly. "Does he want me to stay away from the village as well?"Eira nodded. "That's right. Mr. Campbell has been through a lot of stuff in his life. Naturally, he could tell that Caesar didn't intend to let anyone survive. Your presence wouldn't make a difference. They're all dying."Felix had something different to say about this. "Their death is certain if I don't show up, but they will stand a chance to survive if I do."Eira sized him up solemnly. At that moment, it dawned on her that he was unexpectedly noble and heroic. People on Aquamarinus were constantly running schemes and setting each other up. Most of them cared only about themselves. Even so, someone as altruistic as Felix still existed. To drive the point home, he wasn't even doing this for his own family. "I've passed his message on. It's up to you what you want to do with it." Eira was about to leave, but something popped into her mind, and she added, "Does The Recovery Association se

A dozen villagers had been killed?Felix's face darkened. He made a careless mistake and underestimated just how far Caesar would go to avenge Justus. "Felix, the man said he'd slaughter everyone in Innswood Village if you didn't get back there!"Felix rubbed Lincoln's head and said in a comforting tone, "I'll return to the village first thing in the morning. Don't worry. I won't let anyone die."He was about to get up, but Lincoln didn't let him go. The latter lowered his head and said, "Actually, I know that the man deliberately let me out to tell you about what happened, Felix. "Eventually, I made my way here, but I did it for a selfish reason. The man is terrifyingly powerful, and I know you're not a match for him, but I truly have no other options left."Felix forced a faint smile. "You did the right thing. I'll handle it. After all, it is my responsibility to begin with."When he walked out of his room, Gras and the others were already waiting for him. "Dr. Zeller, this

Three days came and went, and Felix felt a little helpless. "Do you guys have to do this?"Ever since Caesar returned, Ginny and Ryker had been on his heels. Ryker even guarded the door during nighttime, cutting off any chances of his escape. "My dad did this for your safety. Caesar is only allowed five days in Cloud City. Just bear with it for two more days, and he'll be gone by then."Felix felt helpless. He wasn't a fool. Why would he go beyond the city walls and give Caesar the perfect opportunity to kill him?A guard ran in from the yard. "Ms. Longstone, a beggar is at the entrance, asking to see Dr. Zeller. He said his name is Lincoln."A beggar? Ginny was wondering who the person was when Felix got up and said with a smile, "He is my friend. Bring him in here."From the looks of things, Lincoln was here in Cloud City. It wasn't an impossible feat either, but it was an incredibly troublesome one. Ordinary folks like them had to stay in town and travel for over half a day

Days went by, and Felix had nearly combed through the entire Cloud City. He spent most of his time at places like restaurants and coffee shops. Regrettably, he was still no closer to finding out the Flame Monarch's fighting prowess. He couldn't get any information about souls as well. Virtually no one had talked about it.Felix was also aware that Gras was setting him up with Ginny, but she had made it clear to him that she was just patronizing Gras. So, she merely asked him to go along with it a little.After all, her dreams had never changed. She still wanted to become a martial artist, and nothing would sway her from going down that path. Things had been so quiet at The Recovery Association that it made Felix wonder if he was actually one of them. Eira had never appeared ever since the last time he saw her. Just like that, two weeks came and went. But then, someone's return to Cloud City disrupted the peace and uneventful life that was meant to go on. That day, Felix was e

The reason Edmond dared to question Felix at all was that he was holding onto that one sliver of arrogance—he assumed Felix had only cured Christopher by pure luck, just because it happened to fall under his area of expertise.Otherwise, would he have even dared speak up? Not a chance.Once the silk threads were tied and tension filled the air, Felix spoke calmly after only a short pause. "Her Grace has a mild seasonal chill. It's nothing serious. I'll prescribe her some herbal blends—she'll recover within five days. Or, if she prefers a quicker route, acupuncture will do the trick."The Green King blinked, clearly stunned by the response. "You mean you can heal her without medication?""That's right. No medicine necessary." At the same time, a soft, melodic voice floated from behind the curtain. Sydney Haye said, "My love, that sounds perfect. You know I hate taking medicine. Please, Dr. Zeller, come in and begin the treatment."...15 minutes later, Felix stepped back out in

Joaquin was on the edge of madness. He wanted nothing more than to kill Felix right there, but he didn't dare risk the entire Goldstein family just to satisfy that rage. Disobeying a royal summons meant immediate execution—there was no bluffing around it.After taking a deep breath, Joaquin forced himself to put on a smile. "Dr. Zeller, then tell me—what exactly do you need in order to head to the Green King Manor?"Felix had seen this kind of groveling far too many times before. "Gras is right outside your estate. Go talk to him. The sooner you two reach an agreement, the sooner I'll leave for the manor.""What? Gras is here?" Only now did Joaquin realize just how thoroughly he had been played. Everything had been a setup from the beginning, and he had walked straight into the trap.Time ticked by, and eventually, Gras strolled into the courtyard. He said, "Dr. Zeller, the talk went well. How's the view treating you so far?" From the smile on Gras's face, it was clear he hadn't

Not far away, Wagner silently prayed with all his might. "Come on, Felix, don't back down now. Keep acting like a hothead—because only then will you die."As for any retaliation from the Longstone family, he wasn't the least bit concerned. Things had already gone too far, and Joaquin clearly wasn't about to back down. He would definitely find a reason to escalate the fight, and if that weren't the case, Wagner wouldn't have dared tag along tonight.Maybe his prayer actually worked, because Felix shook his head. "Sorry, I came here just to cooperate with your investigation. Anything beyond that… I won't do."Just as Wagner thought Felix had sealed his fate, someone suddenly rushed in, holding something in his hand. "Mr. Goldstein! We've got trouble—Green King Manor just sent a royal summons!""What?" Joaquin's expression twisted as he snatched the letter. A summons from one of the nine Minor Kings was no small matter—when it was issued, compliance was mandatory. Ignoring it meant

In the past, no one dared provoke a family war so openly as it would've been a blatant slap in the Green King's face. But this time, the Goldsteins had the upper hand. After all, Justus was dead, and the Longstone family was a prime suspect. Hence, even if blood were shed, it could still be justified.Joaquin knew this well. He also understood that Gras would never give up Felix for the sake of the Longstones' reputation, so even forcing the standoff served his purpose.Just as the tension reached its peak and a battle was about to break out, Felix stepped forward on his own. "You're the head of the Goldsteins, right? I'll go with you."Joaquin narrowed his eyes. He hadn't expected Felix to boldly step forward."Dr. Zeller, please step back," Gras said.Felix glanced at Gras and said, "Thank you for everything, sir. But the truth will speak for itself. Once the investigation is done, I'm sure they'll let me return."Gras stayed silent, but Joaquin chuckled coldly. "Return? Do you
