The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 341
Vanessa's eyes narrowed as she shot Robert an icy glare. "Robert, didn't I specifically warn you about looking down on Jack and his friend? What's your problem?"Given their years of friendship, Robert was not particularly bothered by Vanessa's confrontation. However, Felix's actions had thoroughly infuriated him.Robert replied, "I'm just giving them a reality check. Nessa, you know how I am. But Felix, calling me out like this in front of everyone, is crossing a line. Do you think getting some fancy delivery service makes you better than me? The waters in Canraville run deeper than you can imagine!" Instead of apologizing, Robert became even more hostile. Vanessa was furious, but before she could speak, Felix held up his hand to stop her."That's not the point here; the main issue is that a real man keeps his word about making an apology," Felix stated calmly.He was already acting considerate for Vanessa's sake, but if Robert insisted on being disrespectful, he had other ways

"Felix! Are you out of your mind? You're seriously not planning to go?" Vanessa's voice was filled with disbelief."Nope," he replied simply. His brief response sent chills down everyone's spine, as only someone completely clueless would say something like that."You have to go. Those VIP seats at Dreamscape's concert are incredibly rare," Vanessa insisted with absolute seriousness. "I can personally guarantee that if you don't show up, every Dreamscape fan in Dragonia will make your life a living hell."Felix looked up at Vanessa, and upon seeing her dead serious expression, he could only nod in resignation. "Fine, I'll go."At that moment, Robert approached them with an awkward smile plastered on his face. "Um, Mr. Zeller, I was wrong earlier. I'm really sorry. I hope you'll forgive me, for Nessa's sake at least."The contents of that box completely humbled Robert. He knew the consequences would be severe if he did not apologize now.When Felix remained silent, Robert quickly a

Wendy was taken aback and exclaimed, "Grave relocation?" The topic seemed completely disconnected from their previous conversation, and she could not help saying, "Mr. Zeller, I… I don't quite understand."Felix knew he needed to explain, though he kept it brief. "I need Mr. Laird to relocate his family grave. It might seem like an unreasonable request, but it has to be done. Could you ask your father if he can help make this happen?"Given everything Felix had done for her family, Wendy could not refuse to try at least. "Of course, let me make a quick call."This unusual request stemmed from Felix detecting one of the ancient dragon's spine fragments in the area. Since his meridians had evolved and the dragon scale had fully bonded with him, he could sense all nine spine fragments of the ancient dragon within a certain range.According to Gerald, most fragments were marked on the map he provided. However, there was always the possibility that some had been discovered by chance o

Larry took a seat and gestured to the manager, instructing firmly, "No one enters without my permission."Once the door closed, Felix said, "I assume you've figured things out, Mr. Laird?"Larry nodded. "I'd be a fool not to. When I see you dining with Wendy right after Vincent's call, it's not hard to connect the dots." His gesture with the expensive drinks was clearly an attempt to smooth things over after rejecting Vincent's request. It was obvious that Larry was a real people-pleaser. Felix said, "Alright. Let's just get straight to the point. I need you to relocate that grave. I only need access to the back garden for a week, and after that, you can do whatever you want with it."Larry seemed troubled. "Mr. Zeller, seeing how Wendy respects you, I know you're no ordinary person. But that grave means a lot to me, and there's a precious family heirloom buried beneath it. I simply can't agree to this."Larry assumed Felix had somehow learned about the family heirloom and wa

Felix's expression shifted slightly when Xena's name was mentioned. Of all the possibilities he considered, Xena was not among them.Mistaking Felix's reaction for hesitation, Larry decided to lay all his cards on the table. "I'm not just talking about a quick meal, Mr. Zeller. I want to give her a grand reception—if you understand what I mean."Larry's motivation made sense. He was devoted to his restaurant business, and what better way to gain instant recognition than hosting a celebrity of Xena's caliber? With proper publicity, success would be inevitable."Let me guess—you also want to take photos with her and display them in your restaurant?" Felix asked wryly.Larry shifted uncomfortably. "Come now, Mr. Zeller, I know my boundaries. Lady Summers isn't some regular celebrity, so photos are obviously out of the question."The mention of Xena made Felix contemplate the situation carefully. He considered potential alternatives but realized even someone like Vivian, the current

Since Felix had been dragged into the Phantom Poison incident because of her, Xena felt somewhat guilty. Thus, she agreed to the talk. "Alright."As they walked out, Jaden seethed with frustration. If not for his promise to Zara, he would have confronted Felix already."Felix, I'm going to win Xena over before she becomes Warlady," he muttered. "If you're smart, you'll back off now. Zara can't protect you forever."While walking through the neighborhood, Felix decided to skip the small talk. "Have you heard of Yardley Dining?""No, I haven't." Xena shook her head.However, her heart unexpectedly raced, and she could not explain why. Was Felix really planning to pursue her? "I need a favor from Mr. Larry Laird of Yardley Dining," Felix explained. "His condition is having you dine at his restaurant—a very formal, special dinner."Hearing that he was asking for a favor, Xena's excitement instantly deflated. "Absolutely not! I'm about to become a Warlady. Do you expect me to be a p
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 347
Jaden's sudden proposal caught Xena completely off guard. In all honesty, the man kneeling before her checked all the boxes of her ideal partner—handsome, kind, accomplished, and backed by the prestigious Crimson Sage Sect. Sadly, the timing was not right. Xena explained gently, "Jaden, you know my grandpa asked me to date Felix for a month. There's still about two weeks left. I hope you understand."Jaden stood up, looking somewhat embarrassed. "I'm sorry. I completely forgot about that."The euphoria from his breakthrough had made him impulsive, momentarily forgetting about Felix, whom he considered insignificant. Nonetheless, he noticed the look in Xena's eyes and felt he still had a chance, especially considering Xena's promotion to Warlady would happen much later. Shortly after Jaden left, the doorbell rang. Xena was a little annoyed, wondering how everyone seemed to know her whereabouts so easily. Then again, it could be Felix.But as soon as she saw who it was, she went

Leia continued, "The second way is to do him a favor. The only opportunity we know of is through his chronically ill sister. But this won't be easy—Alistair once used his greatest war achievement to convince Lord Hector to summon Silas for her, but even Silas couldn't help."Xena's expression fell. If Dragonia's second-ranked healer, Silas, could not help, what hope was there? Any leader knew the invaluable worth of having a capable commander. Hence, earning Alistair's genuine respect was crucial to securing her position as a Warlady."Leia, did you come here just to discourage me?" Xena asked with a bitter smile. "Both options are impossible for me."If Silas could not help, what could she do? Even if she did become Warlady, getting Silas' attention was not guaranteed. And as for the top-ranked healer, that was even less likely. Leia replied, "Don't you know any master healers? Dragonia's history spans centuries. The current top-ten-ranked healers are just those who seek the

Many people breathed a sigh of relief at this response. For some reason, no one wanted to see this young man rise to power. Finnley, who had returned to his seat, turned ashen with anger, but he knew there was nothing he could do about it. If he had not gone to beg for mercy earlier, Felix could have used that favor to destroy the Walsh family today.Nala's expression softened upon seeing this. She believed the man she had abandoned should quietly live an ordinary life rather than rise so powerfully that even she felt threatened. "You've told the truth, and I'll keep my promise. Yvonne can now make her own choices in pursuing happiness, and I won't interfere anymore," she stated.It was exactly the answer Felix was waiting for. With so many witnesses present, Nala would not dare risk her reputation by breaking her word. "Take care of yourself, Yvonne," Felix said, glancing at her before leaving, with Vivian and Christie following suit as their business was concluded.Outside t

Felix turned to face Nala, who met his gaze with fierce determination. Just when everyone thought the conflict was over, Nala's intervention brought a deafening silence to the room. Everyone knew Nala's significance—not just for her mysteriously powerful family background, but for her own commanding presence. Her willingness to challenge both Moonshadow and Dragon Alliances spoke volumes about her authority.Felix retorted, "I've been more than reasonable today. Yvonne is safe, and your deal with the Walsh family stands. Don't push your luck, Lady Nala!"The crowd gasped. In all of Dragonia, Felix was the first to dare speak to Nala so brazenly in public. Even Nala, known for her composure, could not hide the icy anger in her glare. Felix continued, "Yvonne remains yours. I only want to ensure you'll never treat her as a mere tool again. Is that so difficult? Answer me!" Nala was about to respond, but Felix stepped closer. Even though he had lost his martial abilities, his

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
