The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 328
The phone call had mentioned that Jack's injuries were severe, and Felix had been prepared to rush straight into surgery to save him. Yet, here he was at a ward."Jack!" One look at his friend lying in the hospital bed told Felix everything he needed to know—aside from some surface wounds, Jack was fine enough to recover at home."Nurse, what's going on here?" Felix asked, confused.The nurse smiled, seemingly expecting his question. "Your friend got lucky. A master healer happened to be giving a lecture in our traditional medicine department and rushed over as soon as they heard about the accident."Felix breathed a sigh of relief, glad his best friend was okay. He had been absolutely terrified during the drive over."Do you know what caused the accident?" he asked the nurse.The nurse nodded and explained, "A drunk driver hit your friend's car. The driver died instantly. Only Mr. Graham and one passenger from the other car made it to the hospital with serious injuries."Felix

Felix narrowed his eyes as he studied the young man. Between the photos Kane had shown him and the fact that this stranger knew his name, he was sure this was Jaden."Jaden, I never expected we'd meet like this," Felix said.Suddenly, Zara stepped between them, fixing Jaden with a serious look. "What do you think you're doing?" she asked, sensing his murderous intent. Jaden took a few steps forward, his gaze blazing with cold fury. "Step aside, Zara. Felix must die— I was going to handle this after our lunch, but it seems fate wants him dead sooner rather than later." "You're the one who came knocking," Felix sneered.Their hostility angered Zara. "Both of you, shut up! I'm standing right here, and neither of you better dare make a move!"Jaden fell silent for some reason, and Felix also held his tongue. Felix would not have cared about Zara's intervention in the past, but now she had earned his respect by saving Jack's life— that had to count for something. Seeing the tens

Zara sighed deeply, amazed that two exceptional men were at odds over a woman. It really was true that love could bring down even the greatest of men. "If it's about a woman, why not compete for her fairly? Jaden, you know how exceptional you are. Why resort to such extreme measures?" Zara suggested.Zara knew better than to try talking Jaden out of pursuing the woman entirely. After all their years of friendship, she understood how important this woman was to him and his mentor.Jaden frowned, clearly annoyed. "Zara, given our relationship, how can you take Felix's side? I'm really disappointed in you!" Zara reasoned, "Then you should know exactly what kind of person I am! You've seen Felix's medical skills. Do you really think he's as simple as he appears? Look, he's agreed to let bygones be bygones and won't cause you any trouble. Just stay calm and use your natural talents to win her over properly." Given their sibling-like relationship, Jaden had always respected Zara.

Felix quickly stepped out but finished delivering his message. "Mr. Summers Senior says lunch is ready."The bedroom door slammed shut as Xena sat on her bed, looking upset. Her hair was dripping wet and wrapped in a towel. Though nothing was really exposed, she felt violated.She believed this kind of scene was meant for a husband's eyes only, not Felix's. If she had known Curtis had invited Felix for lunch, she would never have chosen this time to shower. With the female housekeeper and Curtis being her own family, she felt safe enough to leave her door ajar. After all, none of them would enter without her permission. Yet, this had led to this embarrassing scene."That damn jerk!" Xena cursed, seething at the thought of Felix seeing her fresh from the shower. Ten minutes later, Xena came downstairs wearing overly modest clothing that covered everything possible."Xena, are you going out?" Curtis asked, confused since she had agreed to have lunch at home."No," she replied cu

"Your cooking is amazing, Mr. Summers Senior," Felix praised genuinely.Curtis laughed heartily. "Of course it is! That's how I won over my wife back in the day!"While the two men chatted happily, Xena was left to her own thoughts. She had initially felt a strange, inexplicable attraction to Felix, but his attitude during their initial encounter ruined that. After learning about his medical skills, she even made an effort to talk to him. Yet, his attitude remained unchanged, causing her feelings to shift once again. Just then, Xena's phone rang, and she quickly stepped into another room to answer."Lord Hector," she answered respectfully. She knew that even after her promotion to Warlady, she would maintain the same level of deference to her mentor and benefactor. "There's a concert in Canraville in three days. I want you to personally handle the security," Hector instructed. Xena almost could not believe what she heard. It was ridiculous to hear that a mere artist's concert

Telepathy? Felix smirked and kept driving, ignoring the voice. It was amusing that simply having lunch with the Summers family had attracted this kind of attention. As he pondered the matter, he realized that Phantom Poison, which had affected Curtis, was incredibly rare and valuable. After encountering Vilebane, the creator of that poison, Felix knew that ordinary people could not possibly access someone of that power level.In other words, the Summers family had a hidden enemy who was finally showing their hand. After some hesitation, he called Xena, who actually answered. "What do you want?" Her cold tone immediately irritated him.If Curtis had not been such an honorable man who respected their engagement and gave them a month to get to know each other and see if they could make this arrangement work, Felix would not have bothered getting involved."Come to my house. There's someone you need to take into custody," he stated."Are you ordering me around?" Xena snapped."Wha

The woman huffed. "Ha! I was careless this time, but Xena, you won't get anything from me, and your grandfather—he'll die in absolute agony!"Blood spurted from her mouth as she laughed, and within seconds, she was dead.Felix shook his head in disappointment. "For someone about to become a Warlady, you're quite slow. I gave you such clear hints, yet you didn't restrain her—and now she's dead. Don't blame this on me!"Xena was furious, holding back the urge to slap him. "I just got here and knew nothing about the situation! How was I supposed to react that quickly? Since you could subdue her, why didn't you restrain her yourself?" Felix changed his approach, realizing arguing with her was pointless. "She only mentioned working for someone called Madam Spring. That's all I know. You can go now."The name clearly meant something to Xena. She gasped and immediately grabbed the woman's body before rushing out. The next morning, after breakfast, Felix drove with Jack in the passenge

Jack did not know who this "miss" was that Yvonne referred to with such respect, but he focused entirely on the concert mention. "Please thank her for her kindness, but I'll have to decline," Felix responded, puzzled by the invitation.He had not really shown his medical skills during the competition with Guneria, so it was strange that Nala was suddenly so interested in him. Not only had she not been angry when he declined her dinner invitation, but now she was offering concert tickets."I understand. I'll relay your response," Yvonne said before hanging up. Before Jack could speak, another call came in—this time from Sherlyn, whom Felix had not heard from in a while. "Hello, Ms. Holt," Felix answered."Hey! Can't you just call me Sherlyn?" she protested.Felix felt awkward with Jack sitting right there. "Go ahead, Sherlyn. I'm listening." "That's better! You must know about Dreamscape's concert in Canraville, right? Would you like to go with me? You won't say no, will y

As they looked at Felix again, everyone felt his presence seem more towering and commanding, inspiring an almost reverential awe. His ability to summon the support of two major powers was unprecedented. George and Ryan remained dumbfounded, their previous misconceptions about Felix shattered by this stunning revelation. Meanwhile, Dominic swallowed his pride with remarkable speed. There was no doubt that his adaptability was what led the Walsh family to such heights.He said smoothly, "Ah, Mr. Zeller, surely there's been a misunderstanding. If I had known about your connection to Ms. Cooper, I would never have agreed to this marriage!" He laughed nervously, aware that the room understood his abrupt change in tone. Nonetheless, with Dragon Alliance and Moonshadow Alliance backing Felix—not just in name but with their most influential figures present—Dominic knew he could not win. Even if the Walsh family exhausted every connection, their do

The moment Vivian spoke, all eyes turned to her, each gaze filled with shock and disbelief. The thought that she might be supporting Felix seemed unbelievable at first, but as she moved to stand beside him, reality sank in. "Milady, w-what does this mean?" Dominic stammered, confused. He was under the impression that Vivian was here as their honored wedding guest."Today, Dragon Alliance will fully support Felix," Vivian declared firmly.A collective gasp swept through the crowd. If there had been any doubt about Vivian's stance before, it was now crystal clear—she had not come for the Walsh family's wedding at all, but to back Felix.At this moment, everyone wondered who Felix was and what he had done to command such an unwavering alliance from the Dragon Lord herself. After all, it was clear from her statement that there would be no compromise."Yvonne, come here," Felix called out.Yvonne stood frozen, hands covering her mouth in disbelief. Even though she knew of Felix's c

The moment Finnley spotted Felix, he stood up and reprimanded him loudly. As the younger generation, any disrespect from Finney might be forgiven, but Dominic had to maintain composure, especially now.A gentle breeze swept through, and the security guards stumbled backward several steps. Only then did everyone notice the elderly man standing two steps behind Felix—Seven, the head of Flair, founded by Averill.Without even lifting a finger, Seven had repelled the guards, showcasing an immense power that left the crowd in stunned silence. George and Ryan tensed up as they watched Felix's bold entrance. With influential figures like Christie and Vivian present, not to mention the other distinguished guests, they worried about how this situation would resolve.Yvonne's heart was in turmoil. She had not expected Felix to come, let alone with such determination to take her away. Though she longed to run into Felix's arms and live on her own terms, she knew it was not that simple. Nal

As time passed, the guests took their seats, awaiting the start of the ceremony. The Walsh family had opted for two wedding ceremonies. This was a grand one, meant for a bigger crowd, including friends and business associates. An intimate ceremony was planned for three days later, inviting only their close family members. It was a testament to the family's penchant for elaborate customs.At the front tables, Christie sat on the left and Vivian on the right, commanding everyone's attention. Sharing the table with them was none other than Nala, a clear indicator of her elevated status within this gathering. "What should we do? We still can't find Mr. Zeller, but surely he's heard the news by now. He can't act rashly!" Ryan mumbled anxiously, still feeling guilty about lying during the Eastern Mountain incident."Mr. Gibson, what's the point of worrying? Can we really influence his decisions?" George glanced at Vivian's table with a bitter smile, knowing she could be the wild card i

The woman appeared to be in her 40s, yet possessed an ageless elegance. Her gentle smile had an almost magical quality that could lift anyone's spirits, making even the gloomiest thoughts vanish instantly.Her presence alone radiated an almost magnetic charm, the kind that was impossible to ignore."Welcome, milady. The Walsh family is deeply honored by your presence," Dominic said as he approached, his voice trembling slightly. He could barely imagine how this day would elevate their family's social standing.The woman smiled gently and said, "I'm Christie Manning, the third-generation Master of Moonshadow Alliance. Forgive me for intruding."Her voice was mesmerizing, rich, and melodious, weaving its way into the minds of everyone present. Many men in the crowd were visibly entranced, their expressions dazed. It was as if her words had struck a chord deep within their souls. Standing nearby, Nala felt a pang of disappointment flicker across her features. She was hoping it mig

After delivering this news, Dominic hurried away, leaving Nala standing there in disbelief. She mumbled, "Did he say… the Grandmaster of Moonshadow Alliance?"Beside her, Alfie's eyes widened with shock. "If I heard correctly, yes, miss. That's exactly what he said." Alfie understood Nala's astonishment. Moonshadow Alliance's Grandmaster was even more mysterious than Dragon Alliance's founder. While some had at least glimpsed Eloise's silhouette, no one knew anything about Dahlia.Moreover, Moonshadow Alliance had maintained its supreme position for years. Their power was evident at the recent Avesburgh auction of the Miracle Card, where a single bid from them had silenced all other potential buyers. And now, their elusive leader was attending Michael's wedding."Let's go!" Nala rushed toward the entrance, determined to uncover what made this wedding so unique that it could attract two of the most powerful figures players in their world.Ryan and George had also received the news

After Yale's disappearance, Nala had abandoned her original plans. With the recent appearance of the founder's attendant, Dragon Alliance had regained its former glory, and no one dared to challenge their authority.At the entrance of the Walsh residence, Dominic arrived just as a sleek black executive sedan pulled up. Nala recognized the two figures who stepped out first—both the vice leaders of Dragon Alliance, whom she had met before.The fact that the vice leaders were opening the car door could only mean one thing—the Dragon Lord was here. Understanding the gravity of the situation, Dominic had already instructed security to clear away unnecessary guests."Welcome to Michael's wedding. Dragon Lord, Your presence brings great honor to the Walsh family," Dominic said earnestly. This unexpected visit would undoubtedly elevate the Walsh family's status even higher than their planned alliance with Nala.Vivian nodded in acknowledgment before heading inside, with Dominic carefully

The Walsh residence in Aleshire, sprawling across 35 acres, was a testament to their wealth. The renovations alone had cost around two billion dollars, and the total property value was estimated at 20 billion dollars—a clear display of their immense fortune.For a family like theirs, there was no need to book high-end hotels or luxury resorts for weddings. Their estate was more than sufficient to host the grandest of celebrations. Today marked the wedding of Michael, the youngest Walsh son, to Yvonne, Nala's personal secretary. It was a perfect match given their social standings, and the steady stream of luxury cars arriving at the estate indicated the scale of the event. Soon, a Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled up, and Nala stepped out, still wearing her signature veil. She was accompanied by Alfie, who had donned a custom-tailored suit. The Walsh family's major members personally greeted her, which just showed how extraordinary her status was. Once they reached a private

Michael raised his glass and said, "George is right. Here's to you both. I hope you enjoy your time in Aleshire, and don't hesitate to ask if you need anything." He knew exactly why these two were here—they were attending his wedding tomorrow. However, given they were at The Nightowl, an upscale nightclub, he figured it was best not to bring it up.Ryan and George raised their glasses in response, but Felix remained motionless. His indifference seriously irritated Michael."I don't believe we've met. Who might you be?" Michael's youthful pride got the better of him. He could have just finished his drink and left, but he felt the need to assert himself. He could not let this slide, and he wondered who Felix thought he was to disrespect him like this. "I'm Felix Zeller. I'm no one important, but here's a word of advice—if you're planning to get married, show some respect for each other, alright?"Michael could not believe Felix was actually lecturing him. His irritat
