The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 224
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 knew he had to go through official channels to avoid unnecessary trouble. The morgue seemed like the best option, as there might be people willing to sell deceased bodies for the right price.Gabriel was stunned. He could not believe Felix had actually taken him seriously. "Are you making fun of me?"Felix shook his head. "The Veilflower is extremely important to me. I wouldn't joke about this, especially concerning your ability to move freely again."His medical skills made this possible, though it would be difficult and take considerable time. However, he was confident in his success rate."Get out!" Gabriel snapped, enraged despite Felix's serious expression. He grabbed another bottle of liquor from the table and started drinking."I'll go prepare now and come back before noon tomorrow. I promise you'll be back to normal," Felix assured him.Gabriel's face showed nothing but contempt. He could not be bothered to say anything more. He had consulted several master healers

If Zachary and Dora were still here, they would definitely be grateful for their early departure. Because if Gabriel wasn't lying, the person approaching now was Hector Downy, the Warlord of the East. Who would dare provoke him seeing that he was one of the top figures of Dragonia?Even Felix narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered, "The Warlord of the East?"Gabriel heard Felix, but he didn't have time to worry about the latter. He had already given him plenty of chances earlier. It was up to the warlord to decide how to handle things, which was beyond Gabriel's control.Hector stopped in his tracks. He was middle-aged, with a presence that made the air seem to go still, even though he wasn't intentionally exerting any pressure. His gaze was deep and intense, making the atmosphere tenser."Gabriel, what crime have you committed?"Gabriel didn't dare lift his head."I failed my mission. All my teammates perished, and only I managed to survive. That is my crime!"His sorrow was e

"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
