"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

"What!"Belle stared in disbelief. She thought she had misheard."You... You said the Warlord of the East is here?"Oh, my God! Why would the Warlord of the East appear out of the blue? Usually, visits like these were always announced in advance. There was no way anyone would be caught off guard like this.Moreover, Xena was attending a meeting in Yartford. Belle had never welcomed such a high-ranking figure alone, and she was nervous."Hurry up! Lead the way!" she urged.As they rushed outside, the subordinate, feeling slightly calmer, quickly said, "Ma'am, I'm sorry! I got too excited and misspoke. It's not Mr. Downy himself. It's his deputy, Lady Leia."Was it Leia Woods? It didn't calm Belle. This was no trivial matter, either. Why would someone like Leia visit without warning?Just like how she represented Xena in Yartford, Leia represented the Warlord of the East. Even if it wasn't as overwhelming as Hunter's own visit, her presence was similarly intimidating.She strode

"Then, Dr. Zeller, if you have no other agenda, shall I begin?"Felix nodded calmly."Go ahead."At that moment, Belle regained her composure. Though her voice trembled, the fact that she could form complete sentences proved her mental resilience."Lady Leia, I… I didn't know you knew Felix. I believe this whole thing was a deliberate frame-up by Sasha. It was all due to my misplaced sympathy. When Lady Summers returns, I will ask for her forgiveness."Leia's gaze sharpened, and her voice turned icy. "You are the deputy of the Phoenix Legion. You should make decisions based on evidence. How can my mere presence acquit Dr. Zeller of wrongdoings?"Belle was in a panic. She couldn't comprehend how Felix could have ties not only with Leia but seemingly even with Hunter. Even Felix's former status as a member of Dragon Alliance was far from enough for him to make such a connection.Before she could say another word, the person who had left earlier returned. He brought with him the tw

The student of the miracle doctor!Belle's eyes filled with rage when she heard Felix's words. She staggered a few steps back, suddenly understanding everything.All the previous incidents in which she thought Felix was involved now made complete sense. It also made sense now that Hunter had sent his deputy to deal with this matter."Miracle doctor! Felix is the miracle doctor's student. The person Lady Summers has tirelessly searched for... turns out to be a rural doctor we all looked down on! What a joke!" Belle laughed.She began to act weirdly, crying and laughing at the same time. She muttered to herself nonstop, causing Leia to frown.It was clear that the shock had gotten to her mind.Outside, Felix walked calmly, just in time to see Xena approaching from the side. Their eyes met for a brief moment, but neither said a word as they continued in their respective directions."Felix has been released?"A terrible foreboding swelled in Xena's chest. She quickened her steps.

"Yes. Is there a problem?"Jack's expression turned a bit strange when he heard that."Two hours ago, Warren asked to withdraw from Stellar Group's city-within-a-city project. According to the contract, he has to pay a hefty penalty fee. The amount is so large that even selling his entire company wouldn't cover it. But all Warren told me was to talk to you about it."Withdrawal? Felix sighed quietly and drank the full cup of water. He knew full well why Warren was backing out. The entire family was most likely preparing to leave Yartford for good.Although Felix said nothing, Jack continued, "This matter was too important for me to decide on my own since I'm still new to the role. So I consulted with the president. Surprisingly, she approved it. "Not only did she waive the penalty, but she also reserved the project slot for you."Having met Yvonne, Jack wasn't too surprised by the situation. At most, he was just curious."Well, it's her decision. I won't interfere."Jack nod

Felix's expression changed. Leslie was coming, too? Averill was already enough for him to deal with. If Leslie joined in, he couldn't imagine how things would turn out."But don't worry. I've sent Leslie away for now. If you cooperate and compromise with me later, I'll not only help you out but also make sure that Leslie won't bother you for a while."Although those words calmed Felix a bit, he knew very well that "cooperating" with Averill wasn't going to be as simple as it sounded.Jack couldn't stop gawking at her as Averill walked closer. Then, sure enough, she sat directly next to Felix and gave him a kiss on the cheek."Darling, sorry that I'm late."What?Jack nearly lost his balance and had to grab the chair to steady himself.Every man seeing this scene could practically hear their heart shattering into pieces. How could Felix get such a perfect woman?Even Felix couldn't help but laugh at Jack's reaction."Jack, is it really that shocking?" he teased.Taking a few d

Averill blinked her eyes a few times and asked, "That's it? Are you sure you're not just frustrated and need me to comfort you?"Felix gave a bitter smile."That's really it. I'm hoping you can help, Averill.""Alright. I get it. What a bore! If I had known it would be this dull, I wouldn't have gone through the trouble of diverting Leslie."…Meanwhile, the atmosphere at the Great Imperial Sect was grim. After all, their Supreme Elder, who was considered the guardian of the sect, had perished. Who could possibly feel good in such a situation?"Mr. Cunningham! Are we just going to let this slide?"Days had passed since the incident. Though the elders gathered in the council hall daily, no one had much to say. The deputy sect leader glared angrily, sharing the same frustration as the rest, who were visibly unable to let go of their indignation.Jaxon glanced around and said coldly, "And what should we do? Even our Supreme Elder was struck dead by a lightning bolt. Do you reall

Felix couldn't kill them? Felix almost thought Xena was joking. He now had almost perfected the Ethereal Constitution. Besides, he had Lumen and the Infinite Shield.He came back to show his skills. Yet now, they were telling him not to kill?"Although Dragonia doesn't have that much soul mastery, there are some for now. Additionally, after three years, several of our martial artists and top experts have the ability to kill the Malevolent Phantoms."At least there wouldn't be a problem dealing with the C-tier and B-tier Malevolent Phantoms. As for Billy, you're familiar with him. He can definitely kill the A-tier Malevolent Phantoms. But again, killing isn't allowed."Felix looked at her seriously. "Then, you'd better convince me."Xena was prepared for this answer. "The order is issued by the headquarters. The Malevolent Phantoms had been sent to gather intelligence. If you kill them—however you kill them—information about their death would be sent somewhere."As for where it'

Felix was silent after hearing the news. After a long pause, he asked, "Are they dead?"Xena knew that despite seeming calm, Felix was like a ticking time bomb—one that was about to blow."No, no! Not long after you left, they were captured by the Westerio Order."The Westerio Order! Felix clenched his fists. He didn't expect that the loose ends he left behind would hurt Melissa. However, it was too urgent of a mission, and he wasn't strong then. Of course, he didn't want to go after the Westerio Order, but he truly didn't expect they would act upon his absence."I'm sorry," Xena said.Felix waved his hand dismissively. "It has nothing to do with you. Melissa and Ronan must've been traveling around the world at the time. They weren't under your protection then."He thought Ronan was strong enough to deal with sneak attacks. Besides, the Westerio Order wouldn't have sent a particularly strong person for the first time. After the first attack, Melissa and Ronan would've definit

Felix felt like Cordelia was just going to say more and more outrageous things, so he hurried away. All of a sudden, he noticed Xena in an armored vehicle."Long time no see."Three years felt like it was yesterday. However, the difference was Felix wasn't conflicted anymore. Meanwhile, Xena's eyes were full of complex emotions. "I heard you got married in Martial City." She had seen and heard the news but didn't want to ask. Yet, she still brought it up now."Yes, I'm married now," Felix replied.There was a pause after his reply before she asked again, "Did you get married to complete the mission, or—"Felix didn't avoid her gaze and said seriously, "I really wanted to get married. Nerissa is truly a good woman, and she's worthy of my time."With that answer, Xena turned away, looking around outside before composing herself. As for what she was thinking, even she wasn't clear on what she wanted. "The Malevolent Phantom I met in Martial City… I didn't notice it before. Is

Xena immediately shook her head. "I dare not say that I know him best, but he is a man who values loyalty and righteousness. If we hide it from him and he finds out through other people, I don't think we can bear the consequences later."A thick silence fell. After a few minutes, Lionel spoke up, "Just… Just do as is. Why don't you tell Felix about those two people?"An hour later, the great mountain in front of them disappeared. Instead, an endless field replaced it. The Warlords were unfazed, but the soldiers from headquarters were stunned.After all, this was like a scene out of a movie. It was incredible. When they got out of their shock, they realized a lot of people stood in the field—so many that they couldn't count.The leader was naturally Felix."Hello, everyone. Long time no see." Felix's face was full of emotion as he saw those familiar faces again. After three years, he had finally come home. No matter how much he felt like he belonged in Martial City, there was n

Someone asked another question, "Then, may I ask why you can't send people from the capital to Martial City to teach us soul mastery?"This was also a burning question in many of the crowd's minds. Besides, wouldn't it be easier that way?"Because the soul mastery skill you're going to learn has a special trait called resonance. As Dragonians, we can share our soul power and increase the speed of your cultivation. How many people are there in Martial City compared to the capital?"There's more than a billion out there, you know? Of course, you can also practice back here. But by then, the Malevolent Phantoms would've entered Martial City in a matter of minutes! You wouldn't want to endanger your family and friends, right?"After answering a few more questions, the crowd finally agreed with him. "Alright. Now, head back to your family. You have a week to spend with your family and friends before I bring you all to the capital. Everything has been arranged there."You're all also

The question came from a bald man who was sitting cross-legged on a large rock. He looked as if he didn't take Felix, a Grandmaster, seriously at all. Everyone in the crowd, including Felix, turned to look at him."May I ask why?"The bald man sneered. "What do Malevolent Phantoms in the capital have to do with me?"Felix nodded, showing no anger. "Alright. Then, let me ask you. Is Martial City located in Dragonia?" The bald man, Christian Perez, seemed to know what Felix was about to say. He answered, "Yes.""So, the people in Martial City have Dragonian blood in their veins, right?""That's right."Christian had the unique energy of a Transcendent master. Just from his expression and eyes, it was clear he wasn't someone to be trifled with."If a nuclear bomb fell on Martial City, would you die?"Christian was about to answer but hesitated. "I… It's not likely, but there's a high probability I'll die."Nuclear bombs were terrifying, and Martial City wasn't completely out

At the foot of Trirock Mountain, a densely packed crowd gathered around. There was double the number of people gathered here compared to when Felix was refining pills during the assessment. Everyone was waiting and talking among themselves. They were all wondering what Felix was going to do. Logically, everyone couldn't be here at the same time. Yet, it happened.After Felix touched the statue, he could control the spell around Martial City. He could also feel the energies of the citizens and where they were. The three elders of the Celestial Hall had been asked to capture the hiding citizens. No one could escape."Being a Grandmaster is truly amazing! I was still caught despite hiding in a well-hidden place.""Ugh, don't even mention it! I buried myself underground, yet they dug me out!"Several martial artists were helpless as they chatted among themselves. They hadn't seen Felix but had already experienced the power of a Grandmaster. All of a sudden, a figure appeared above
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1103
Cordelia took out a small piece of paper from her pocket. A painting revealed itself as she unfolded the paper.The man in the painting was handsome and strong. His eyes, in particular, were authoritative. Even though it was a painting, no one dared to meet his gaze. For some reason, Felix felt like this man seemed familiar, but he couldn't put his finger on it. "Is this him?"Cordelia nodded. "Yes, this is a painting the royal family has kept for generations. Whether he has changed or aged at all isn't clear. We call him the Ancient Sage."The Ancient Sage? Felix questioned, "Is he stronger than a Grandmaster?" A mix of emotions flashed in Cordelia's eyes. "Most probably. After Yusri became Grandmaster, he claimed to be the strongest in the world. However, one day, he went to an unknown place for a few days."When he came back, he claimed that he was no longer the strongest in the world. The rest of us had guessed that he met the Ancient Sage."Felix thought about how Corde

The only people Felix could bow to were Deborah and Cordelia. The two women were sobbing uncontrollably. Deborah truly doted on him, treating him like her own grandson. Meanwhile, Cordelia didn't need any explanation. She had been feeling guilty toward Felix for decades. She had never even dared dream of being forgiven, let alone attending his wedding as his mother. Now that she was, the feeling was indescribable.After curtsying to their parents, the two of them entered the bridal chamber. When Felix lifted Nerissa's veil, he felt amazed despite having seen her many times."You're so beautiful, Nerissa."She was flushed red from shyness. Nerissa had imagined countless times what her fiancé would be like—but she never would've thought that he would be this excellent. Many years ago, Westley had told her that a person who held on to their principles and persistence would eventually be blessed. Just as Felix was about to say something, Nerissa had already pushed him down on the
