The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 222
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

Vivian felt this whole situation was not as straightforward as it seemed—just a gut instinct. Somehow, she trusted Felix more than anyone else right now.Hearing Vivian's declaration, Felix smiled. "Alright. Then, I'll have to trouble you for a bit longer. I have a task for you—I'll pay you five million dollars to flood social media with one name."Vivian looked puzzled. "What name?""Averill Davis," Felix replied. His plan was simple. He needed Averill to find Yvette. After all, Yale was a high-ranking member of Dragon Alliance, and he would surely have the means to keep her well beyond the reach of ordinary people. However, Averill was no ordinary person.…When Felix returned to Tabiner Bay, he found Nattie waiting at the entrance with Sasha in a wheelchair. She lunged at Felix, grabbing his collar. Her face contorted with rage as she shouted, "Felix, you bastard!""Can I help you?" Felix asked calmly.Nattie's body trembled with anger. "How can you be so calm? Did you do

At that moment, Yvonne's expression suddenly became complex, as if she had something difficult to say. This piqued Felix's curiosity even more, making him wonder if the situation was not as simple as it seemed."Y-You just need to kneel before me and slap yourself twice. Then your Dragon Alliance status will be restored tomorrow," Yvonne stated, looking relieved after speaking.Yvonne figured her boss wanted to test Felix's pride and character as a man, but she could not understand why the kneeling had to be directed at her. Either way, whether Felix agreed or refused, whatever good impression he had of her would probably evaporate. Sure enough, Felix furrowed his brows and stared at Yvonne, making her nervous. He replied, "Yvonne, I didn't realize you were into that kind of thing. Thanks for trying to solve my problem! A man kneels to no one else except his mentor or seniors. Sorry, but that's a hard pass!"With that, Felix went inside, leaving Yvonne standing there alone.

Inside, a middle-aged man sat in a chair, missing his left arm and right leg. He was casually sipping from a bottle of liquor."Are you Gabriel Wade?" Dora began.But Felix nudged her aside and spoke up, "Hello, we're sorry to disturb you." The man took another swig and looked at Felix with amusement. "I'm just a cripple. Why are you being so polite?"Felix's expression was serious. "I always respect those who've fought on the battlefield."The man chuckled. "Well, well, you're an interesting one. You can sense the killer instinct in me, huh? Impressive." Felix had indeed noticed it as soon as they entered. This man had clearly seen combat, which explained his missing limbs."You're alright, kid. I'm Gabriel Wade. What brings you here? It's been years since anyone's come around. I'm curious," Gabriel said.Dora stayed quiet, letting Felix take the lead. "Mr. Wade, I know you have the Veilflower. I was wondering if you'd be willing to sell it to me. Name your price. I need the

Gabriel's words caught Zachary's attention. Zachary scoffed. "What a joke! A cripple with a big mouth. I wasn't raised to be scared of a guy like you."He took a drag from his cigarette and waved his hand dismissively. "Take out his other leg. Maybe then he'll understand the kind of attitude he should have when talking to me."Even Felix found Gabriel's claim about Xena a bit exaggerated, like he was just trying to scare them off. As one of Zachary's henchmen stepped forward to carry out the order, Felix moved in front of Gabriel. "This is a transaction, not an extortion. You're free to leave if you don't want to buy. There's no need for violence."Without waiting for Zachary's order, the man threw a punch at Felix. They were used to bullying others with Zachary, and anyone who dared to stand up to them had to be ready to face the consequences.A dull thud echoed through the room. Felix stood unharmed, while the attacker flew out the door, landing heavily on the ground. He tw

Felix chuckled. "Just stay out of it. I'm not an idiot." After arriving at the tennis court, they immediately spotted Yolanda playing with a slightly pudgy man with a beer belly. If Lars hadn't mentioned him, Felix would have thought the man was in his 40s. He looked way older than Felix had expected. He was the type of man who would have been completely forgettable in the crowd if it weren't for his good family background.Right then, Zachariah waved for a break and sat down next to Yolanda. "Zachariah, I've improved a bit, right?" Wiping sweat with a towel, Zachariah said with a smile, "Yeah, you've improved. But you're still far off. If I wasn't holding back, you wouldn't last three rounds." Yolanda, who never liked flattery, forced herself to say, "Of course. You're so amazing at tennis, after all. I'm nowhere near being able to actually play with you." Putting down the towel, Zachariah looked at Yolanda. "I know your family's situation, so let's cut to the chase. I'm

Felix was exaggerating a little. Lars then said, "Felix, this isn't even funny. Yolanda was fine, so how could she end up getting assaulted and committing suicide?" Lars knew Felix would not buy the story, so he said with a bitter smile, "Alas… Since I've started talking, I'll tell you everything. The truth is, I've known Yolanda since we were teenagers. "We've always been close friends—the kind that never quite turned romantic. That's why I'm so worked up about this whole mess." Hearing his words, Felix's expression turned serious. "Tell me everything. I'll definitely help you if I can. Although it's been a long time since I last met her, I haven't forgotten the young woman who was once brave enough to help me. "If I can do something about this, I absolutely will." Regardless of whether Felix was telling the truth, Lars felt he had chosen the right person to confide in."Yolanda's family is in deep trouble. They're facing a 50-billion-dollar funding gap. Every major bank

The hint couldn't have been any more obvious, but Felix didn't care. If the woman was a Malevolent Phantom, of course, he was more than willing to drink with her. Since she wasn't, she needed to get out of there.On the piece of paper Donna had given him was the address of this private karaoke booth. It also mentioned that the triplets inside were all Malevolent Phantoms. As for what was next, there were no further instructions. Everyone knew what was to come. Soon, the young man came back with three women who looked identical. To be honest, they weren't the most beautiful women Felix had met, but they weren't that bad. Besides, with three women, any man would've jumped at the chance. The pleasures of sex—at least for men—were divided into two aspects, physical and mental. According to some experts, the mental pleasure of sexual intercourse is more important than physical pleasure. For example, if a man got lucky enough to sleep with a celebrity, the excitement from it was somet

Felix couldn't detect the Malevolent Phantom, yet this man just appeared out of thin air. It seemed like he was acquainted with Donna, as she was unfazed. "There's nothing to explain. I'll make up for it," Felix said calmly.The Malevolent Phantom smiled slightly and laughed. "What an interesting man! He really isn't afraid of us."Ignoring the mockery, Donna said solemnly, "Cooperation is cooperation. If you lose the soul essence of an A-tier Malevolent Phantom, you'd have to replace it. I don't have the time to wait for you."As she spoke, she handed a piece of paper over. "Here. Follow these. If it goes well, you'll be able to kill five B-tier Malevolent Phantoms. It's a bit short, but it'll do."There was one thing Donna was right about. Since it was a cooperation, there had to be benefits for both sides, so Felix took the paper without hesitation. After scanning the paper, he felt like there wasn't anything wrong with it. "Alright. I'll get to it now."Once he left, the M

Naturally, upon seeing Felix, Louise didn't dare to act disrespectfully. "Sir, no—Mr. Zeller, I'll kill them all." There wasn't a need to question Felix's authority anymore. Anyone who dared provoke Felix would die. Ben and his men were completely terrified, kneeling for mercy. However, Felix waved his hand dismissively. "No, there's no need to. Things haven't reached that point yet. Since you're Fifteenth Overlord, things can be resolved easily. There's no need to make a fuss."Human life was precious. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Felix wouldn't kill anyone—even if they were thugs. Perhaps a B-tier or C-tier Malevolent Phantom would just so happen to encounter these thugs when they needed to eat.Therefore, saving the death of an ordinary person."Alright," Louise replied.Ben and his men collapsed onto the ground, feeling like they just escaped death. They knew all too well that Louise would always follow through with his words. The look in their eyes as they looked

Ben returned to the courtyard, ordering his men to serve coffee, desserts, and fruits while welcoming Felix warmly. He didn't run—how could he? With Felix's strength, could he even escape?Besides, Fifteenth Overlord was coming soon, and everything would come to an end. Why should Ben run?However, Felix didn't care. He sat down and drank the cup of coffee handed to him. After taking a sip, he praised it immediately. "Oh, this coffee is great! It's the real deal and quite delicious."Ben laughed. "Well, it's a specially imported local coffee. I'm from there and have been so used to drinking it since I was a child. If you like it, I'll get some for you later.""No, there's no need to," Felix replied.As soon as he placed the cup, a voice called out, "Fifteenth Overlord is here!"There were fumbling sounds as Ben and his men straightened up. Their expressions turned extremely respectful. Trevor had the same thought as Ben at this moment."Fifteenth Overlord is here! This kid will
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1246
Ben was quite an interesting character. Felix felt amused. "Really? Then, I'll just kill all of you and run. Thank you for your kind reminder!"Huh? For a second, Ben was caught off guard, and he was at a loss for words. After all, who wanted to die? He definitely didn't. The issue was the two strongest men he had were killed in seconds. Who else could stop Felix from killing them all? Gulping, Ben forced a smile and chuckled. "Kid, we're all trying to make money here. I merely misspoke earlier. Fifteenth Overlord treasures talent the most! And with your skills, he definitely won't fight you when he comes."Felix smiled. "Really? Then, what about the people I've injured?""No, no, don't worry about them. They're not as skilled as you, and it's only right for them to have such an end." After some thought, Felix nodded. "Alright. Since you said so, I'll wait for Fifteenth Overlord to come."A few minutes later, a man rushed in, shouting, "Mr. Hitchcock! Mr. Murray is here to
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1245
Felix knew Trevor wasn't lying, which surprised him even more. Fifteenth Overlord was nothing more than just a gang boss, yet even Cairo didn't dare to attack him? That had to be a joke.Felix's curiosity was bursting at the seams. When they finally reached the hall, he noticed the whole street was full of two-story buildings. The exterior walls were all painted the same color—uniform and stoic. They entered through a corner entrance, walking straight into a large courtyard. "Mr. Hitchcock, please! I was wrong! I'll never do it again! Please give me another chance!" A man was kneeling in the yard, covered in blood and begging for mercy. Soon, he was hit on the head, and he fell to the ground. Ten men were standing around the collapsed man, and they all turned to look at Felix in unison. The only man unfazed was a bearded middle-aged man with a cup of coffee in his hands. He sat on the side, sipping almost happily and seemingly enjoying the scene."Mr. Hitchcock!" Trevor exc

The burly man sneered. "We're just following orders. You'd better follow us. Otherwise, you know the consequences."Just as the burly man finished speaking, Felix waved his phone around. "You all should leave quickly. I've already called the police. I checked, and the nearest police station is only 1.8 miles away from here!"Both Lars and Yolanda were stunned—even the burly man was dumbfounded. He had never encountered this before. Everyone knew who Fifteenth Overlord was, yet Felix still dared to call the police?"Fuck! I'll remember you! You'd better visit Fifteenth Overlord, Yolanda. Otherwise, you'll be in even more trouble." The burly man scowled before turning around to his men. "Let's go!"The MPVs left as quickly as they came. When Felix turned to Lars and Yolanda, they both looked ashen. He asked in confusion, "What happened? Why are you guys so pale? They left, didn't they?" Lars smiled bitterly. "It's okay. You just came back. You don't know how terrifying Fifteent
