The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 218
Jack clapped his hands and grinned. "Well, I'm off to bed, then," he said, his carefree attitude a blessing in its own way.A while later, Vivian walked in and reported nervously, "Mr. Zeller, there's one more thing I forgot to mention."She was still adjusting to her new role serving the formidable Dragon Lord, and it showed."What is it?" Vivian handed him a piece of paper. "We found this in Olly Davidson's room at the Great Imperial Sect. It seems to be the cause of everything."After reading it, Felix frowned. His analysis was correct—Xena would not have supported the Great Imperial Sect's actions against him. Someone else was pulling the strings from behind the scenes.Judging by the level of detail in the letter, the person behind it knew far too much. Hence, it was surely not an outsider. An hour passed, and Felix remained seated in the living room, expecting a busy night. Suddenly, the door burst open, and Xena stormed in, fuming. "Felix!" she shouted.Felix staye

After Xena left, Vivian called Felix. "Mr. Zeller, the Phoenix Legion has completely surrounded the Great Imperial Sect. What should we do? Do we keep waiting?"Felix had anticipated this. He knew mentors were like parents—no matter how Jaxon had treated Xena, she would always care for him unless he had done something unforgivable.As the goddess of war, Xena understood the Earthen Hall's assassination capabilities all too well. Jaxon and his people would not stand a chance, so this was her only option. Moreover, Felix could tell her plan from her remark just now.Once he was no longer a member of Dragon Alliance, the Earthen Hall would have no reason to keep their forces at the Great Imperial Sect."Hold our position for now. We'll see how things play out tomorrow night," Felix instructed."Yes, sir!" Vivian replied.…At dawn, Yvonne, who had not slept all night, finally made the call. "Do you have a surprise for me?" the woman's voice chimed with a playful tone, indicating

Felix stared at the man for a moment before it dawned on him. "You're the guy who lent money to Madeline, right?""That's right! We've met before, so you can just call me Mr. Adams," Hunter replied with a grin.Felix frowned. Stinger was supposed to deal with this guy already, but here he was, seeming more comfortable than ever.Sasha interrupted, "Mr. Adams, we'll deal with your grudge later. I haven't had my say yet."She turned to Felix, her voice dripping with contempt. "Felix, you've lost your protection now that Lord Kane is gone. Don't you think it's time to settle the score for hitting me and disrespecting me repeatedly?"Ruth chimed in, "Exactly! This punk humiliated me, too! It's time we get even." Felix played along and asked, "What do you want me to do?"Sasha leaned back, crossing her legs with an air of superiority. She smirked, thinking she had the upper hand. After all, once you lost your connections in the real world, you were nothing more than a powerless no

After pondering it for a while more, Felix still could not put a face on that name. Not wanting to waste more time, he grabbed a machete from one of the thugs and threw it with deadly precision. Hunter was about to retort Stinger, but he was silenced immediately.The blade sank deep into Hunter's chest. He stared in disbelief at his chest, mumbling, "Y-You killed—" Yet, before he could finish his sentence, blood gushed out from his mouth, and he collapsed to the ground. Meanwhile, Sasha and Ruth screamed in terror, having never witnessed such a brutal act of violence before. The sight and smell of blood filled the air, intensifying their fear.Felix approached Sasha, who broke down in tears. She pleaded desperately, "Felix! Please don't kill me! I'm sorry! I truly am! I promise I'll never bother you again!" Ruth was equally terrified and instantly fell to her knees, trembling and sobbing. "It was all Sasha's idea! I had nothing to do with it! Felix, please let me go. I don't

At 3:00 pm, Felix and Jack sat across from each other in an all-you-can-eat barbecue restaurant. Jack grinned and commented, "Great minds think alike, huh? Neither of us had lunch, so this timing is perfect."Felix looked puzzled and asked, "Don't you have work today?""Nah, I switched companies," Jack replied casually.Felix was surprised, knowing that Jack had been thriving at his previous job and was on the verge of becoming a vice president thanks to Felix's influence.Jack continued, "I just started at my new place this morning. I'm now the head of Stellar Group's Avesburgh office. It was a no-brainer, really." Seeing Felix's stunned expression, Jack chuckled and placed a few pieces of meat on Felix's plate. "Eat up, Felix. I owe you a lot, you know."Felix was baffled, knowing he had not spoken to anyone about this. He wondered how Jack had managed to land such a position without connections. After a hearty laugh, Jack explained, "The president of Stellar Group is chasi

Felix had not met any chief leaders since taking over Dragon Alliance, so this was a first. It seemed that after the recent gathering of all chiefs, someone had finally grown restless."Let's set it for tonight," Felix replied to Vivian's call.Vivian hesitated before asking, "Mr. Zeller, could I meet you in person?""Sure," Felix agreed.Within 20 minutes, Vivian arrived. Felix had already sent Jack away, knowing his friend would have teased him endlessly about Vivian's beauty."What's the matter? Why do you need to talk about it in person?" Felix asked. Vivian sat across from him, her eyes blazing with anger. "Mr. Zeller, Mr. Jones is out of line! I can't believe he's demanding that you go to him!"So, it appeared that Yale Jones was the chief leader who had come to town. Felix frowned. "He told you that himself?"Vivian nodded. "Yes, and he insisted even after knowing your status as the Dragon Lord."Vivian was fuming. Ever since joining Dragon Alliance, she had heard co

Xena snapped, "Enough talk! Mr. Jones is waiting inside. Listen carefully, Felix! If I catch you slipping up even once, I'll make your life a living hell!"Without Dragon Alliance's protection, Xena believed Felix would be powerless. Even though she was not close to Gregory, Jaxon was clearly affected by his death.The image of Jaxon grieving still haunted her, and she was determined to make Felix pay. If it were not for her duty as the goddess of war to follow the rules, she would have struck Felix down long ago. "There might never be a day like that between us," Felix replied calmly. He suspected Dora was not bluffing about having information on the Veilflower. If he could get his hands on it, he would be just one herb away from waking Curtis. That was the real reason for his confidence. As Felix entered the suite's bedroom, a faint breeze closed the door behind him. Then, he studied the middle-aged man standing before him with interest. The man was about six feet tall,

Yale was taken aback, but he quickly chuckled and said dismissively, "You young folks sure know how to talk big these days."If it were not for his worry about the real Dragon Lord showing up too soon, he would have swatted Felix like a fly."This is your aunt, Yvette Harrington, right?" Yale asked, tossing a photo onto the table.Felix's expression faltered as he picked up the photo. The woman in the picture was attractive, with a sweet smile. Time seemed to have been kind to her. She was indeed his mother's younger sister—there was no way Felix would not recognize her."So this is your trump card?" Felix asked, his voice steady.Yale smiled. "Don't you think it's enough? I've investigated you thoroughly. Your father's relatives are worthless—you've taught them a lesson before I even had to lift a finger. But your aunt... She's different, isn't she?" Felix remained silent, memories flooding back. The Harrington sisters had their share of conflicts when they were younger, leadi

"Why are you so fired up this early in the morning?" Felix asked.Melissa was still fuming. "Boss, haven't you seen what happened to the shop next door? It turned into a floral wreath boutique overnight!" A floral wreath boutique? Felix hadn't noticed earlier. He only remembered there being a beauty salon next door that was not doing well and was looking to sell. How did it become a floral wreath boutique? "Here's to good business! Looking forward to being neighbors." Billy walked in with a grin, which sent Melissa storming to the back room with one last comment, "That stupid fatso is the one who opened the boutique!" No wonder Melissa was so angry. No business would want a funeral flower shop next door. "Billy, what's your deal here?"Billy grinned and said, "Nothing. I quit my job at Sixview Peak and need to make a living somehow. Since this is all I know, I figured I'd scrape by with a funeral shop. You know better than anyone how effective my merchandise is against spir

In the private room, Clement was incredibly nervous. He never imagined Felix's contact from Concord Bank would be Dorian Yardley, the prestigious branch manager himself. "Dr. Zeller, I wasn't trying to keep secrets from you." After sitting down, Dorian smiled. He would have been in hot water if he had messed up this encounter. "It's fine. Status isn't important to me since you're all my patients." Dorian's smile widened. "No wonder your medical skills are so extraordinary at such a young age, Dr. Zeller! Few people could maintain such principles these days." Felix waved it off and turned to Clement. "Let me introduce my friend, Clement Parson. He's the one I mentioned earlier who's facing some troubles. I'd appreciate it if you could help, Dorian." Clement rushed over to shake hands as Dorian spoke, "That's a small matter. Dr. Zeller saved my life, after all. I'd look like an ungrateful person if I couldn't help with something this simple." By this point, Clement was too ha

Before Douglas could respond, Vernon jumped in, saying, "Oh, Clement, look at the company you're keeping! If this gets back to Mr. Yardley, you won't be able to survive anywhere in Gray City. You know the consequences." Clement was dumbfounded. He even started to wonder if Felix was just dropping names. After all, Dorian's status was on a completely different level.Douglas went even further by turning to Clement and saying, "Either you slap him twice, or you're blacklisted at Concord Bank after tonight. Your choice."He had been looking for an excuse to put this arrogant brat in his place. How dare someone try to get a loan while bypassing him, the lending director? Felix had just handed him the perfect opportunity. "Whew! Dr. Zeller, I'm so sorry that I'm late!" Just as Clement was about to throw them both out, heavy breathing came from the doorway. A man appeared, bent over and red-faced, clearly having run quite a distance. Before Felix could speak, Douglas and Vernon tur

In the other private room, Felix had already arrived and was sitting with Clement. "Don't worry. Someone has hit the back of his car. That's what's holding him up." Felix was telling the truth. When he had come up in the elevator, Dorian had called to apologize. He even sent a WhatsApp video of the accident scene as he was worried Felix might be angry. That was how driving was. No matter how good he could be behind the wheel, he could not control other drivers. Given Felix's status at the bank, Dorian would not dare stand him up even if his life depended on it. "No problem at all. Guests can be late, and it's perfectly normal. I really can't thank you enough for all this trouble, Felix." Clement was socially smart enough to show the right attitude when asking for help. If he could not even tolerate someone being late, what was the point of further discussion? "How big is your company's funding gap? How much are you looking to borrow?" Hearing this, Clement thought Felix was w

"Clement?" a middle-aged man with a huge belly stepped out and called out when he spotted Clement."Oh, Vernon. Are you having dinner here, too?" Clement forced a smile and kept his tone polite, though he actually could not stand the sight of the man. Vernon Parker had been one of his company's veterans. After he took over when his father passed, he quickly discovered Vernon's shady dealings behind the scenes. If left unchecked, those schemes would have eventually bankrupted the company. So, Clement had fired him without hesitation. Life had a twisted sense of humor, though. Vernon's nephew had struck it rich, which meant Vernon was now doing quite well himself. He would use his new power to undermine Clement's company whenever possible. As Vernon walked over, his smile dripped with contempt. "Drop the act. We both know where we stand." Clement maintained his composure. "Whatever happened, you were still one of our first employees. It's only right that I show you proper respec

At the Tranquil Clinic, a man walked in. "How can I help you today?" Melissa greeted him but immediately felt something was off. The visitor's gaze wandered shamelessly over her body. Even though she was fully dressed, she felt an urge to cover herself with her arms. "You fatso! What's wrong with you? What the hell are you looking at? Get out!" Melissa was not one to hide her feelings. Even if the fat man was actually sick, she would not be polite since he was being way too inappropriate. The man cleared his throat and finally looked away. "Is Felix here? I'm his brother!" Brother? Melissa was startled and quickly changed her attitude. "Oh, you're my boss' brother! Please, come in." Just then, Felix's voice rang out, "Like hell he is!" After just coming out of the bathroom, Felix was instantly annoyed when he heard those words. When he saw it was actually Billy, the supervisor from Sixview Peak, he became even more irritated. "Come on, Felix. I must be a few months older

Felix pretended to think for a moment before saying, "I treated someone who works at a bank. We're on good terms, though I'm not sure about his position there or if he can help." Willow's eyes instantly brightened up. "Really?" But she quickly became self-conscious. "No, we shouldn't burden you with using your connections. Just forget I mentioned it." Felix smiled. "They say good neighbors are like family. It's fate that brought us together as neighbors—and Queenie, too. If there's any trouble, of course, I'll help if I can. I'll make a call tomorrow and contact Clement if it works out." At this point, Willow could not refuse. Besides, the company was nearly at a dead end. Felix was not really an outsider anymore, and he had proven himself trustworthy, though they hadn't known each other long. …The next morning, Clement called just as Felix arrived at the clinic. "Felix, please don't listen to Willow's rambling. She sometimes speaks without thinking, so don't take it seriou

No one expected Felix to be so harsh toward Craig. Even Xena was startled. "You!" Craig's expression darkened; no one had ever dared treat him this way. It was utterly humiliating. "Get out of my clinic! Now!" Felix would not have gone this far if Craig had apologized earlier. But now he was only apologizing because he realized it was the Seven Points of Transcendence. That was too late! "Hmph!" It would be too humiliating for Craig to stay there, so he turned and stormed out. Only Xena remained. "You went too far. Craig holds a high position at headquarters." Felix's smile returned. "Don't worry. I couldn't care less about trash like him." Before Xena could respond, she remembered something. Their legendary Chief Commander was Felix's fellow apprentice. If Craig tried to use his position against Felix, he would be fighting a losing battle. "Got it. Anyway, thank you for everything," Xena said.Felix pointed to his cheek with a chuckle. "If you want to thank me, how abou

Craig chose to ignore those comments. Until Candace revealed her information, no one could touch her. "Well, well, are you trying to weasel your way out of this?" Candace questioned."Weasel my way out?" Craig glanced at Felix with coldness and disdain. "I was practicing medicine before you were even born. If it weren't for your dumb luck today, you wouldn't even deserve to speak to me. Let's go, and bring Candace along!" Xena could only shake her head apologetically at Felix as she followed Craig toward the exit. But then Felix's voice rang out, "This is the Seven Points of Transcendence! It harnesses the essence of all things. While I won't claim it can raise the dead, it comes pretty close. "The final step requires all seven needles to merge into one before injecting the extracted essence back into the patient. Only then is the technique complete. Are you trying to take my patient away before I've even finished the treatment?" Everyone froze in their tracks. Candace was t
