The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 34
Warren shot back at Nattie, "You don't know a damn thing! This is a genuine antique. A masterpiece! Do you even know who Thomas is? Would he lie to me? If I bring this to him now, we'll get 25 million dollars on the spot!"Nattie's eyes lit up with excitement. "Then, what are we waiting for? Warren, I know you're passionate about these antiques, but 25 million dollars could change everything for our family."Even if Warren were a billionaire, his wealth was tied to the scale of his company. The reality shifted once his bank loans and other debts were factored in.That was how things worked in the business world. When a company failed, the owner's financial ruin could come immediately. It was a stark contrast to the losses faced by ordinary people who rely on personal savings.Milo's face was a mix of emotions. After all, they were discussing 25 million dollars. Who wouldn't be tempted by that?"No way! This was a gift from Felix, and I have to return it. It's worth far too much. I

Everyone's faces were drained of color. Fear etched into their features at the mere mention of Lord Kane.Kane's fearsome reputation as the lord of the underground was well known in Avesburgh, and crossing him was a sure path to a nightmarish end."W-We didn't do anything to anger Lord Kane." Ruth, Sasha, and the other women were trembling, barely holding back their tears.Kane's reputation was so fearsome that just hearing his name sent everyone into a panic. The terror in the room made it clear what would happen when he actually arrived."Yeah! Who would be foolish enough to cross Lord Kane?""I swear I didn't!"Everyone scrambled to defend themselves.Suddenly, Sasha's eyes locked onto Felix, and she stormed over to him. "It's you, isn't it? You're always lurking around and swindling people. You must be the one who crossed Lord Kane."Felix frowned. He had never even heard of this person. "No. It wasn't me."The others in the room were all close friends who knew each other

Nobody who offended Kane would ever appear again. It was rumored that they were either buried alive or jumped into the river, but in any case, they would certainly die. There was no other possible result.Felix stood up slowly and walked over. "I'm very sure that I don't know you." Kane said, "Of course. You aren't worthy of knowing me, but I'm sure you haven't forgotten Ted, have you?"Felix laughed at the mention of the name. "Oh, so you're Ted's backup. You should have said so earlier instead of wasting time. Let's start, then."Felix crossed his arms. He didn't look afraid at all, nor did he look as if he was ready to fight. He looked more like someone who was there to see what would happen. As Kane raised his hand, he suddenly saw that Felix was wearing a very unique-looking ring on his left hand. His expression changed at once. "You… You…" Felix was confused by Kane's actions. "Why?"Kane swallowed and hastily took out a gold card. There was a very life-like dragon engr

Felix looked displeased. Why did everything end up being connected to Xena? It was ridiculous. "Alright. You may leave."Kane hesitated for a moment and asked, "My lord, how should I deal with Ted? Should I just kill him? Or…"Felix frowned and thought hard for a moment before saying, "Whatever. Just get rid of him. Don't tell him who I am, either." Usually, with Felix's temper, Ted's persistent pestering would have resulted in severe consequences. Ted would probably have ended up spending the rest of his life in a wheelchair. However, Felix had thought about it and decided that since Ted was a relative of Xena, he would let it go. Although Xena was very haughty, if Curtis woke up and they decided not to call off the engagement, Felix would have to do as Gerald asked and become a family with her. "My lord, I… Can I have your contact number? I may not be able to do anything big, but in a small place like Avesburgh, I can still run errands for you!" Kane was extremely nervous. He

They sat there like that for half an hour. Finally, Nattie said, "Alright, now, Warren. Felix was a nice young man. It's a pity that he was too inexperienced and ended up offending someone like Lord Kane. Anyway, we'll just have to wait until tomorrow to see what the situation is."Warren didn't say a word. His heart was aching terribly. How could he face his old friend, Matthew? What would Matthew be thinking as he looked down on them from above? At that moment, there was a familiar beeping sound. All three of them looked at the door, as it was the sound of someone entering the password for the digital door lock. However, they were the only ones who knew the password. Who would be pressing it at this hour? The door opened, and Felix walked in.Sasha's eyes widened. "Y-You! How can it be?" She felt as if she was going insane. No one who provoked Kane had ever appeared again. Why would Felix be an exception? Only Warren rushed over in excitement to hug Felix. "You little scamp

Kane's eyes narrowed, and he looked quietly at Perry, who stood his ground in defiance. "Really? Then, you can tell Lady Summers to come looking for me." He pointed at Perry and said harshly, "Get out!"At that point, Perry had no choice but to leave with Ted. As soon as they got into their car, Ted began furiously pummeling the back of the seat in front of him. "I can't accept this! Dad, why is Felix so lucky? How can he be a distant relative of Lord Kane? Are we really just going to give up?" He looked at his crippled arm, feeling his rage burn.There was an icy light in Perry's eyes, and he gritted his teeth as he said, "Calm down. I'll find a chance to test the waters with Xena! If we act recklessly and Xena doesn't help us out, everything our family has worked hard for will be ruined!" The Goldwind Chamber of Commerce that Perry had established had only developed to its current scale because many prominent figures had helped him on account of Xena. They hadn't done it fo

The Lovefruit? That was one of the herbs required for treating Curtis. Felix would never refuse that. "Alright. Send me the address and the time."Finding something was purely based on luck. Expanding connections and money would only increase the chance of finding it.Kane was a good example. He was part of Dragon Alliance, and the Kinsleys could never compare with him in terms of their resources. Despite that, there had still been no news from Kane, even though a night had passed.Conversely, Felix had already indirectly gotten Bluesand from the Kinsleys, and now, they had given him news of the Lovefruit. It really was just luck.…At the Tabiner Bay sales center, Ruth was smoking outside with a woman."Ruth, thank you for introducing two clients to me." The woman's name was Sandra Todd, and she had met Ruth at a bar. The two of them had clicked immediately, and Ruth hadn't cared about the fact that Sandra was just a salesperson at a real estate company."Why are you being so f
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 41
After what happened last night, Ruth disliked Felix even more. He ruined her perfect birthday party, and she was left more terrified than ever.To make matters worse, she received a WhatsApp message from Sasha later that night, saying Felix was fine. It turned out the whole thing was a misunderstanding caused by mistaken identity, which only upset her even more.Thus, when Ruth saw that Sandra's so-called important client was none other than Felix, she couldn't help but speak harshly."Ruth, do you know him?" Sandra asked in surprise but couldn't feel happy about it. Ruth's earlier remarks didn't sound like those of a friend but rather like those of an enemy."Well, we're more than just acquaintances. Since you weren't at the party last night, I'll fill you in on the details. The real culprit is this fellow named Felix!" Ruth replied.Felix frowned. "If you don't want me to slap you in public, you'd better keep your mouth clean." He was wary of Sasha because of Warren, but it was
