"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

"Let him in immediately!"After recalling the incident, Jaxon hurriedly gave the order. What shocked everyone was that the moment the words left his mouth, a young man suddenly appeared in the hall.No one present had noticed how he entered.Jaden was a handsome young man with a unique air, which set him apart. He was the type that would stand out instantly in a crowd."Mr. Cunningham, I am Jaden Hault, the Ninth Elder of Crimson Sage Sect. Nice to meet you," Jaden greeted with a calm smile.Although this was a rather casual gesture considering their ranks, Jaxon didn't take it as arrogance. Instead, he eagerly stepped down from his seat, no longer daring to remain at the head of the hall."Mr. Hault, it is an honor for the Great Imperial Sect to receive someone of your stature," Jaxon said warmly.After the two sat down, Jaden finally spoke, "I've come today for your student, Xena. I believe you've already recalled what my mentor told you eight years ago?"Jaxon nodded. "I tho

Finally, Dora made up her mind. "Let's do this! I, Dora, have never gambled once in my life. But this time, I'll go crazy with you!"Just as she finished speaking, three cars suddenly appeared, blocking the road both in front and behind. Dora was forced to slam on the brakes."Are they out of their minds? Who dares block my car?"But the next moment, she saw the license plates and immediately knew she was in trouble."Damn! It's my dad's car."Sure enough, the door of the Rolls-Royce opened, and a middle-aged man stepped out. Right beside him was her brother, Sam."Damn it! It was Sam. He must have ratted me out."Dora turned to Felix with a pitiful expression. "Felix, can you come down with me? Otherwise, my dad will definitely kill me this time. Please help me explain."Felix sighed. He did owe Dora a favor for helping him earlier, so doing her this small favor was no big deal."Alright."After they stepped out of the car, the middle-aged man's expression softened slightly

Bradley's sudden reaction left Zachary stunned for a moment, but he quickly chuckled."Felix? He was just a friend of mine."Before he could finish, Bradley's sharp gaze locked onto him, and his tone became sterner. "Tell me the truth. Is he really just a friend, or are you trying to dig up information about Felix?"How could Bradley not know his nephew's character? Zachary was notorious for stirring up trouble. As the commander of the Phoenix Legion, Bradley had dealt with all sorts of cunning individuals. He could easily tell when someone was lying.The room fell silent as everyone turned to watch, especially Benedict. He stood up and sternly said, "Tell your uncle the truth!"A man of his experience could easily sense the seriousness in Bradley's demeanor.Although Zachary was puzzled, he hurriedly told the truth, "Uncle Bradley, it's true. I wanted to find out more about Felix. We had some disagreements, but it's not a big deal. I saw with my own eyes that the Phoenix Legion t

"Felix, I'm Bradley Sutton, colonel of the Phoenix Legion. My grandfather was once comrades-in-arms with Mr. Holt Senior."Felix's attitude naturally shifted when he heard Bradley's introduction. If Ernest was a war hero, how could Bradley's grandfather be any less significant?"Hey, Bradley, what can I do for you?" Felix asked with a friendly tone."Alright. Zachary is my nephew. From what I understand, your disagreement with him isn't too serious. Could you do me a favor and allow him to apologize to you? Honestly, I only just found out about this situation."Felix pulled the car over to the side of the road, smiling. "Since it is you, of course, I'll give you this courtesy."After all, their disagreement hadn't gone too far. If it had, even Bradley's intervention wouldn't have helped."Thank you very much. I'll make sure my cousin keeps an eye on Zachary in the future."With that matter resolved, Felix turned his car around and decided to head home.…Meanwhile, Dora, who w

After Felix arrived at Tabiner Bay, he pulled into the parking lot and handed his keys to the security guard. He then told Dora to send someone over for the car. As he walked past Yvonne's villa, he noticed her sitting in her yard, even though it was already late. "Want to come in for a bit?" she offered after they locked eyes. "It's alright. I'm kind of tired." Curiosity flickered in Yvonne's eyes. Felix actually managed to get back from the Phoenix Legion unscathed. It seemed unlikely that they would arrest someone by mistake. It would be ridiculous if the Phoenix Legion had mobilized their teams without solid evidence, wouldn't it? "What other secrets are you hiding, Felix?" As Yvonne muttered to herself, she steeled herself. This was precisely why she was sent here. But part of her hoped she would not uncover anything. If she did, the chances of him being together with her boss might just become higher. Felix had barely stepped into his yard when Sherlyn dashed over.

So, that was why… Felix couldn't mistrust Donna, either. The Mystical Explosive Orb absorbed a lot of soul essence and helped his soul strength grow. Donna wasn't a fool, and of course, she could sense the growth.So, how could she give it up so easily? Yet, she still said such helpless words. Felix wondered if Dahlia and Karina could help him kill Malachar. As soon as he thought of this, he quickly dismissed the idea.He had seen the horrors of S-tier Malevolent Phantoms with his own eyes. He couldn't involve his fellow apprentices because of this… After all, this was related to life, and it wasn't a small fight."Take the Mystical Explosive Orb back. I won't have any use for it anymore. If I meet Malachar again, it'll just end up being snatched away by him."Donna could barely hold back her conflicted emotions. She was so excited as the orb had recently absorbed a powerful soul just a week ago, and it proved that her choice was right.However, she had to give it all up now. Ho
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1445
Malachar's body trembled slightly. A precious soul essence was actually given to a human by an S-tier Malevolent Phantom? What a waste!Besides, how could an S-tier Malevolent Phantom protect a human like this? This was completely incomprehensible to Malachar!"Once I find out who it is, I'll make sure they'll never stand among other S-tier Malevolent Phantoms! How dare you protect humans!" he spat out angrily, walking toward Anson.He gave Anson a look of contempt before leaving. By this point, Felix was already beyond Malachar's sensing range. Malachar didn't even know where to start if he wanted to chase after Felix. Naturally, he could only wait for his next chance.…As night fell, Felix opened the door to a hotel suite to welcome Donna, who had just arrived. "The S-tier Malevolent Phantom claims to be Malachar, and I figured out that he and Hall of Souls are working together. Maybe because they lost several Black Soul Scouts and the entire laboratory recently, he's despe

Malachar's face showed a hint of mockery. "No way I've mistaken you. I'm being guided to you, after all."Anson stood at a distance, obviously the so-called guide. No one else was around, after all."You've ruined so many Hall of Souls' good plans. So, you deserve to die!" Hall of Souls? Felix's expression turned ugly. He didn't expect Hall of Souls was actually working with S-tier Malevolent Phantoms. Yet, he had seen it with his own eyes this time."I didn't expect an S-tier Malevolent Phantom to act like a pawn for us humans. How admirable!" However, Malachar wasn't offended at all. "You humans are really good with words, but do you really think I'm fooled? Besides, Hall of Souls is 'my' pawn. This relationship will never change—not now and not ever."He moved, just a little. "Alright. I think I've said enough. I'll send you off now."Anson, who stood a little bit away, had no expression on. For him, it was best for Felix to die like this. Otherwise, Anson was sure to be th

Just as Anson felt confused as to why Felix lashed out, Felix had disappeared from his sight."Huh? Did he sense it? How is that possible?" Despite being surprised, Anson didn't think it had anything to do with what he said. After all, Felix was a martial artist at the peak of Grandmaster Realm. Felix wouldn't have grown to this point, only to be frightened by Anson's mere words."What a pity… Did you think you could really escape?"In the deserted area, Felix was running away at high speed. From the reminder left by Donna, it was clear that this S-tier Malevolent Phantom was definitely not passing by. Combined with Anson's words, it was clearly targeting him."Mackenzie approached me because of Specter, so what about this S-tier Malevolent Phantom?" he thought. He was speechless by this and felt that it was strange. But it wasn't the time to think about things like these now.All of a sudden, his phone rang. It was Donna."I sensed that there's an S-tier Malevolent Phantom cha

Xena stopped, anxious. She bit her lips painfully and felt extremely conflicted. She hadn't really made a decision yet, but if she left, her only chance of becoming stronger would be gone.The thought of Felix and Billy, who destroyed the entire Rebirth Sect by himself, flashed through her mind, and she turned around slowly."Okay. I promise you." …A week later, Felix's life in Newtown was extremely normal. Whenever night fell, he would have a passionate night with Nerissa. However, he didn't know what was going on. It was difficult for them to get pregnant."Honey, do you really not want to marry Xena?" Nerissa asked curiously as they walked into the mall."No. She'll find someone she likes soon enough, so why should I bring her with me? And don't ask me these things again."Although his tone was gentle, Nerissa still felt the annoyance in his voice. She turned away quickly, a little scared. "I'm sorry, honey. I'll never ask anything like that again."Just as Felix was abo

Felix thought for a while before he said, "Hm, at this point, even if it's just a conspiracy, there's nothing we can do. Besides, I'm not weak."How confident! If someone else had said this, Billy would've sneered in contempt. However, it came from Felix, and he felt like that was only natural. After all, Felix's soul progression was terrifying.The matter with Rebirth Sect came to an end, and Felix returned to Newtown. Although he was a little scared, Cordelia would be furious if he didn't return.Meanwhile, the Black Soul Scout was brought back to the headquarters. Billy said he would have to prepare and ensure that it was foolproof. Once he got the information, Xena would definitely contact Felix as fast as possible.However, Felix didn't know that Xena was currently meeting Specter at a villa in Yartford. "Have you made up your mind?" Specter asked, a confident smile on his face as he poured out a glass of water."First of all, I will not merge my soul with yours. Even with

"Can you remove his soul ties, Billy? I sure can't do it." Felix had high expectations of him. After the move Billy pulled today, Felix thought that he might be able to cut the soul ties bounding the Black Soul Scout."It's possible, but it might be too troublesome," Billy said.It didn't matter whether it was troublesome or not, as long as it could be done. Felix smiled. "Then, I'll leave him to you. This is a Black Soul Scout who knows a lot about the Hall of Souls."Xena was extremely happy with that answer. She knew that they had something to discuss and quickly excused herself."I'll head out and see how everything is being cleaned up outside," she said.This time, the information from this place was indescribable. Not only did it cost no lives, but they impeccably took over a Hall of Souls laboratory. Who would've dared to dream of such an outcome?Once Xena left, Felix gave Billy a thumbs up. "Your strength is truly terrifying."No matter how Billy did it, it proved the s

"I've told you this before, but there are too many people to be rescued in there. I'll have to go all out. But that means that the Malevolent Phantoms there will get some intel on me," Billy said.Xena felt helpless. However, this was also a hopeless situation. They couldn't just sacrifice a thousand lives for the sake of Billy's secrets in the second wave. This was something no one could help."Just do it. As long as you can save them, nothing else matters," Xena said.After a while, Billy raised his hand, and she stopped the car immediately."Let the backup team get ready." With that, Billy took a step forward, his expression turning solemn. He stretched out his hands slowly.Xena saw a string of beads appearing around his wrists; on the left, there were white beads, and on the right, there were black beads. …Meanwhile, in Rebirth Sect, Yosef and his A-tier Malevolent Phantoms were still investigating. They had checked almost half of the population, and there were no suspici
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1438
With a Black Soul Scout here, it seemed that Yosef had big plans. Besides, they had just mentioned feeding with corpses. Could this be the laboratory of the Hall of Souls?For a moment, Felix was tempted. If he could ideally take over this laboratory, it would definitely be helpful to Wayne's research. After all, it seemed like the Hall of Souls was progressing rapidly in this area.Additionally, the corpses were used as fodder. It was only a matter of time before Felix was exposed. Of course, he couldn't just sit there and wait to die. Meanwhile, in the room, the old man was still concentrating on the chessboard in front of him. Suddenly, his expression turned grim, and he quickly retaliated with a soul attack. Unfortunately, he fell to the ground, and his eyes rolled to the back of his head.Felix looked at the old man on the ground with his Spirit Eye and immediately confirmed that he was the Black Soul Scout. He heaved a sigh of relief. He had anticipated the attack the moment
