In the courtyard of Kane's estate, Stinger was tied to a large tree. His upper body was bare, while a whip lashed across his skin, leaving bloody marks one after another. Yet, Stinger refused to make a sound. Not far away, a middle-aged man sat in a grand armchair with his feet propped on the seat, his expression full of disdain. "Killing someone like Hunter is one thing. You can do that as you please. However, Stinger, what you should never have done is disrespect Lord Jamison."When the whipping stopped, Stinger glared fiercely."Skyler, cut the crap and stop pretending to be the good guy! Even if I didn't look down on Harold, do you think he wouldn't have come after me? When Lord Kane was around, you acted like a lackey. Are you acting so tough now just because you've found a new person to support you?"The middle-aged man, Skyler Stevens, chuckled."Let me tell you something. Lord Jamison is taking over Avesburgh's underground scene. It's not because Lord Kane's gone, but b

"Mr. Zeller, I'm sorry. I'm so useless!" Kneeling on the ground, Stinger looked up at Felix. Felix raised a hand. "You are indeed useless, but taking over a city's underground forces isn't something you can achieve with manpower and ruthlessness alone. You need a powerful person to back you up!"How did Kane manage it? It was all because he held the position of the deputy chief in Dragon Alliance, allowing him to act decisively without overthinking. "Now that things have reached this point, go ahead and do what you need to. I'll be your backer and back you up!"Since he was already involved, Felix wasn't interested in stepping back. People like Stinger could be quite useful in certain situations. Hearing this, Stinger became ecstatic. His hesitation and fear stemmed from lacking strong support. With Kane gone, he couldn't keep relying on him. It would be far too cowardly. With Felix's support, he could finally act without restraint. "Lord Jamison said he'll be here in half an

Faced with such a request, Stinger dared not object. Everything was up to Felix. After all, he would've been dead if Felix hadn't come to his rescue, leaving him no grounds to negotiate."We were having a perfectly good conversation about business. Why bring up my mom?" Although Felix was silent, his stern gaze made his intentions clear. Harold shrugged. "I have no idea where my mom is. How could I tell you?" Felix stepped forward and slapped Harold across the face. "Your mother's life is in danger. Despite being her son, you don't care. You're not worried, and you don't even try to find her. How can you accept the things your enemy gives you? What a man you are!" Harold's expression turned dark as his hands clenched for a moment, but he forced a smile. "A smart person knows when to adapt to the situation. "Do you think everyone is as headstrong as you? Do you think everyone loves to fight against something they can't win, just to prove a point?"From the moment Harold wa

Just as Felix straightened up, the roar of engines erupted outside, and two military-green vehicles stopped at the gate. Zachary furrowed his brows, as anyone could tell that these were exclusive vehicles of the Phoenix Legion. However, he wondered why the Phoenix Legion had come. That was a question worth pondering.The car doors swung open, and Belle stormed out first, flanked by several armed soldiers."You are suspected of murder and assault, Felix Zeller. You are required to assist in the investigation." Zachary quickly stood up, pulling the elderly man along as he headed outside. With the Phoenix Legion involved, there was no way he could continue to trouble Felix. If he were to fall into their hands, even his father would have no way to rescue him. "You must be quite the arrogant guy, Felix," Zachary thought. "Even the Phoenix Legion is stirred up. It's a pity I can't kill you myself."Unbothered by Zachary's departure, Belle kept her gaze fixed on Felix. "Are you don

Belle shot an intense glare at the newcomer, her fury palpable. "Are you done? How dare you obstruct the Phoenix Legion's operations? Capture her!"Seeing another woman appear, who was even more stunning than Yvonne—almost on par with Xena—Belle didn't recognize her and decided to make an example of her. Without saying a word, a middle-aged man stepped forward. This caught Belle's attention, and her expression changed. Immediately, she halted her order. "Stop!" She recognized the middle-aged man as a bodyguard closely associated with Ernest, named Jairo. The woman who had spoken on behalf of Felix earlier was clearly an important person. "The Phoenix Legion is quite impressive. Is your word alone enough to take someone away? I'm standing right here, and I would like to see you try!" Jairo was there to protect none other than Sherlyn, Ernest's precious granddaughter. Felix recognized her at once. "Ms. Holt, thank you so much. However, it's no problem for me to go with them,"
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 238
Sherlyn sat across from Ernest, fuming and pouting adorably. "Humph! Grandpa, you don't care about me anymore. You're not standing by my side." Ernest, relaxed in demeanor, handed her a cup of coffee. "Do I not care about you? Otherwise, would I have sent Jairo to accompany you? "You're getting more and more mischievous. After all, they're conducting an official operation. Do you think that just because I or your father is involved, they'll let you off unconditionally? What do we need laws for, then?" While she understood his point, Sherlyn was still upset. "I finally managed to come back, and I can only hang around for two days. I was looking forward to having dinner with Felix to bond with him, but the Phoenix Legion intervened. How can I be in a good mood?" Taking a sip of coffee, Ernest said, "You know Felix's situation. Everyone has a breaking point, and I suspect he's about to explode this time. The reason I had you go is to give someone a chance, but it's a shame." Ern

"Dad! Did he confess?" Outside, Sasha sat in a wheelchair with Nattie beside her, both of them looking expectantly toward the door. Of course, Belle was present, too. It was her idea to send Warren in, hoping to leverage their relationship to break Felix's psychological defenses and force him to confess, which would make everything easier."No, Sasha. Let's go home. Can we start over?" Sasha was stunned upon hearing Warren's words. Then, she immediately erupted in anger. "Excuse me? Are you even my father? Your daughter is now a disabled person, needing a wheelchair to go out, and you still have the audacity to lecture me about starting over?"Seeing Sasha's tears flowing, Nattie became furious. "Are you even a man? You can't even protect your daughter! I was blind to marry you!"Unexpectedly, Warren suddenly raised his right hand and pointed sternly at Sasha. "Do you dare say you're innocent? Sasha, look me in the eyes and tell me you did nothing wrong! We've come this far, and

Belle burst out laughing."You're already a prisoner under arrest, and you still think you can kill me? Given my status, don't you know that just saying that is already a crime?"Unfazed, Felix asked, "Since you say I'm going to be sentenced to death, can you tell me why you hate me so much?"Belle's eyes nearly turned red with rage. Crossing her arms, she said, "Why? It's simple. You're not worthy of Ms. Summers. You should have broken off the engagement and gotten lost!"However, you act so high and mighty, as if nothing can truly catch your attention. You rely only on your status as a member of Dragon Alliance and your martial prowess. "Ms. Summers is kind-hearted and doesn't want to go against her grandfather's wishes, so of course I must eliminate obstacles for her. Ms. Summers's future husband should be an outstanding man. You, on the other hand, are nothing!"With that, Belle stormed out. Felix said nothing, only concluding that she was delusional, having completely ima

Sergio glanced at Gerald with disdain. "Don't get your hopes up too soon. The Starmark is just a ticket in the door. We have no idea how far Felix will actually make it." Gerald immediately bristled. "Jeez! Stop being so negative about us. Would it kill you to be optimistic for once?"Whatever. I'm going to take a nap. At least I can finally explain things to those brats. I was still stressing about how to handle Eloise." Time passed. In the living room of the hotel suite, Dahlia and Karina sat on the couch, both glowing and looking more feminine than before. "I can't believe you're actually so experienced and adventurous, Dahlia." Dahlia kept a poker face. "I learned by watching all sorts of things. But I'm definitely not as loud as you." Felix, fresh from his shower and dressed, was speechless hearing this. Even with all his power, he was no match against both women. In fact, he felt he had been taken advantage of. "Can we drop this topic already? Mr. Hoffman and Eloise
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1463
When Gerald said it was something from beyond this world, Felix froze for a moment. He then jumped to his feet, pointing at Gerald with a trembling hand. "Holy crap! Do you actually know what that thing is?"Gerald didn't look too happy. "Watch how you talk to me, you brat! Sit down." Though he didn't give Felix an answer, Felix could tell Gerald really knew something. He sat back down immediately. "That object is called a Starmark. What you received is the lowest rank—an Iron Starmark. Like I said, it's something from beyond this world, not from Earth." Felix was starting to question Gerald's background. How did he know about something like this? "Since you've received an Iron Starmark, I should call Dahlia and Karina to join us. It's time to reveal everything. Whatever questions you have, wait until all three of them are here." Even though Felix desperately wanted to know everything, Gerald had made up his mind. Felix knew there was no point in asking now. By afternoon,

Not long after Felix started walking away, he sensed something strange. He quickly raised his right hand as an object fell rapidly from the sky. It moved so fast that normal people wouldn't even see it. For Felix, tracking it was not hard. He also noticed how it didn't seem to have much force behind it. What could it be? The next moment, his expression changed as the object went through his right hand and vanished into his body. He was shocked when he realized the object had entered his soul. "What the hell is this thing?" Everything happened so quickly and strangely that he didn't even have time to react. About ten seconds passed before he realized his soul wasn't damaged. Finally able to breathe again, he took time to examine the object. It was a palm-sized square plate that was completely black and seemingly made of some kind of metal. The plate showed the number 2034 with nothing else on it. "Is this plate a soul-bound weapon or something else?" Felix tried for a while

Rupert was shocked, but the three Protectors fighting Felix were totally freaking out. They knew for sure that Felix hadn't activated Lone Paragon. As martial artists who had spent years training to become incredibly powerful, they could have easily spotted it if Felix was just faking weakness. But without Lone Paragon in the picture, they had no explanation for what was happening. They'd never heard of any martial arts technique that would slowly grow stronger during battle. It made no sense. If Felix had suddenly broken through to a new realm while fighting, that would be one thing. Such rare cases existed throughout history. But this was something else entirely. "I guess that's all you guys have to offer me. What a shame." Felix smiled through his injuries. The fight was getting easier by the minute—even he could feel himself getting stronger. "Don't get so cocky, Felix!" The three Protectors yelled as they all activated the forbidden technique passed down by Ancient Sage
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1460
Felix was aware that Ancient Sage had given some Mirror Shards to the Grand Protectors. But even if they had those on them right now, Felix didn't believe the Protectors could easily counter attacks from an Ethercore Realm expert. No way he was going to be embarrassed here. Besides, such an intense martial arts battle was a rare treat. "That's strange. Why isn't he using Lone Paragon?" The middle-aged man, Rupert Perez, was the only one watching from the sidelines. His brows furrowed as he observed Felix, who was barely defending himself. Their assessment had shown that Felix with Lone Paragon activated was incredibly powerful. Finding Anson's corpse with clear signs of instant death was proof enough of Felix's capabilities. Rupert wondered if Felix actually wanted to defeat three Protectors without relying on Lone Paragon. There was no way he could do that! The three attackers had noticed this, too. They'd been holding back as they waited for Lone Paragon to activate. But

The chase continued as the city lights grew distant behind Felix. Eventually, the buildings disappeared. Felix had reached somewhere with strange rock formations jutting from the ground. He had no idea where they had ended up. "Did they stop running already?" Through his domain sensing, he could tell the abductor had halted, forcing Felix to consider his next move carefully. "Even if it's a trap, I've got to go in." He couldn't abandon Benjamin. If he did, what kind of person would that make him? He just had to face whatever his enemies had planned for him. Right then, the abductor started moving again, but they had left Benjamin behind. Wondering if the abductor had given up, Felix's thoughts raced, but he maintained his speed. The priority was securing Benjamin's safety. He would deal with whatever else came after that. When he finally stopped, Benjamin was still unconscious while lying on some rocky debris. At that moment, Felix sensed four figures rapidly approaching th

If the government was planning to just attack Hall of Souls with missiles, they must have been seriously pissed off this time.But it made sense. After all, countless people had risked their lives fighting Malevolent Phantoms, while Hall of Souls not only failed to resist but actually conspired with them. That was truly despicable. Felix asked, "But how are you sure what the Black Soul Scout said is true? Even with soul memory extraction, wouldn't you need to verify it?"Xena answered, "Of course. Everyone's worried about hurting innocent people. Our national guardian has already checked a few locations personally. He has confirmed they're definitely Hall of Souls laboratories or bases." The guardian? Felix frowned. "Isn't that overkill? Why not just let the guardian eliminate them all directly?" Xena's voice turned colder. "How could that possibly be as intimidating as missiles? We haven't located the leader of Hall of Souls, Scarlet Lord. That's why we need something that sen

Donna laughed with a teasing look on her face. "What? You only managed to kill one S-tier Malevolent Phantom because you had perfect timing and conditions. Yet, you're acting so confident now." Since Donna was a Malevolent Phantom herself, Felix had to be careful. Felix had no problem with Donna knowing he was at Superior Soul Realm before. But now that he'd jumped up to Ethercore Realm, he had to keep quiet about it since that was something that required soul enhancement. "I know my limits. Or are you saying you don't know the answer, either?" Donna held up one finger before answering, "You're currently at Superior Soul Realm. You'll have to reach Ethercore Realm to be able to fight against an S-tier Malevolent Phantom." Felix was genuinely surprised to hear that, but he played it cool. "Really? Looks like I won't have to run from S-tier Malevolent Phantoms much longer." As expected, Donna snickered and replied coldly, "It might seem like just one level away, but don't you
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1456
Though the attack seemed coordinated, everything happened incredibly fast. Felix and Benjamin worked together perfectly, so it took them just over ten seconds to finish off Malachar. Felix felt lucky. Without Francis' soul fragment and Benjamin's help, he would never have killed an S-tier Malevolent Phantom like Malachar. That was a close one. "Benjamin, we got him." Hearing Felix's voice, Benjamin, who had been fighting off exhaustion, smiled before passing out. Just then, the power rebound from the Mystical Explosive Orb surged through him. Felix realized that while Francis' soul fragment was gone, he had sacrificed the valuable Scholar's Arsenal as well. But absorbing the power rebound from an S-tier Malevolent Phantom's soul essence was a pretty sweet deal anyway. As he absorbed it, Felix was completely blown away—though he already knew how powerful S-tier Malevolent Phantoms were. The one he'd run into at Laurel Resort had been falling apart at its soul core, yet its p
