The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 350
Alistair declared, "In my life, I've only kneeled before my parents, but today, I kneel before you, sir. Please, I beg you to save Yara's life."The dozens of men present suddenly dropped to their knees as well. They all owed their lives to Alistair many times over, so this gesture came naturally to them. Alistair continued, "We broke into your home and attacked without knowing the truth. I'll cut off my own arm if that's what it takes for you to forgive us and save my sister."He raised his right hand, his expression unchanging as he prepared to strike his left arm."If you actually do that, I won't help Yara," Felix warned quickly.Alistair was caught off guard, and his eyes lit up with hope. "You'll help her?"Felix sighed. In truth, he was genuinely moved by Alistair's character. He had met many military men before, but never one like Alistair—someone who combined fierce loyalty with such devotion to family."Everyone, please stand up. This is making me uncomfortable," Feli

As the sound faded, Xena walked in and was surprised to see Felix there. She quickly masked her reaction and ignored him, secretly hoping he would not mention their relationship in front of her subordinates, especially Alistair—that would be too embarrassing."Lady Summers!" Alistair and the others bowed respectfully. Just as predicted, Alistair was not the type to disrespect authority, though his true loyalty remained questionable.Xena acknowledged them with a slight nod. "Quite a commotion here. Is there anything I can help with? I know I don't officially start until tomorrow morning, but I hope you don't mind me asking." The others remained silent until Alistair spoke up. "It's nothing serious. My sister just went missing for a while, but we've found her. Thank you for your concern, Lady Summers."Felix stood there silently, smart enough to pick up on Xena's deliberate attempt to hide their relationship."I see. I'm glad it was just a false alarm," Xena replied.As Alistair

Recognizing Xena's honesty, Alistair had already begun to accept his new superior. "Thank you for your concern, Lady Summers. Mr. Zeller has already found a way to treat Yara—now I just need to wait." After Alistair left, Xena turned to Felix. "You've done me a huge favor."Felix was annoyed. Xena had directly claimed him as her boyfriend without giving him a chance to explain, and she had gotten away with quite an advantage.He stepped closer to her with a mischievous look. "Oh really? How do you plan to thank me?"For some reason, Xena felt flustered. He was standing so close that his scent overwhelmed her senses, leaving her feeling strangely unsettled. She stuttered, "W-What are you doing?"Wanting to teach her a lesson, Felix suddenly grabbed the back of her head and kissed those coveted lips that many men had only dreamed of touching. The sudden contact left Xena's mind in chaos—she had never been touched by a man before, so her stunned reaction was natural. When Felix's

When Averill saw Felix's expression, she became puzzled as well. "Don't you know why Leslie needs to see you?"Felix felt like an idiot, completely lost in this conversation. "Did something happen?""I'm not here because of your online messages. I'm here specifically under Mr. Hoffman's orders," Averill explained. The mention of Gerald made Felix realize the gravity of the situation. His eyes turned cold with concern as he asked, "What happened to Leslie?" "She went somewhere and was poisoned with something rare—even Mr. Hoffman hasn't seen it before and can't cure it. He immediately sent her to find you. Since I was already in Canraville, Leslie asked me to give you a heads up." Felix felt both anxious and helpless. "How can I help if even Mr. Hoffman can't cure it?"Averill nodded confidently. "If Mr. Hoffman says you can do it, then you definitely can. I don't know the details, but Leslie will arrive in Canraville around 11:00 pm tonight. Just wait at home, and she'll find

"Jude, what's going on?" Michelle asked. Before Jude could answer, the heavy-set woman grabbed Michelle's hair. "What's going on? He's my sugar baby. How dare you seduce him? I'll teach you a lesson, you little homewrecker!" Just as she raised her hand to strike, a voice cut through the tension. "Stop right there!" The woman turned, eyes narrowing. She mocked, "Who the hell are you? Are you trying to play hero? Ha! So this little homewrecker has some tricks up her sleeves, huh? She's not just after one man!"Felix stepped into the room, striding confidently to Michelle's side, who was still trying to process what was happening. He warned, "Watch your mouth! I suggest you leave now. I would've taught you a lesson if it weren't for Michelle's birthday!" After all, this was Karina's niece, and Felix did not treat this matter lightly. The woman scoffed. "Interesting. Do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like that!"Tired of the drama, Felix pulled out his gift. "Mich

Felix chuckled. "You don't need to tell me. Whatever story Lady Nala and I share, I don't want to know."As if anticipating his response, Yvonne placed her hand on his thigh. "This is my mission, so please don't make it difficult. What you do after hearing it is your choice."When Felix remained silent, Yvonne continued, "The parents who passed away weren't your biological parents. Your true bloodline comes from the Greene family of Yartford—one of the most powerful families in Dragonia." "I know, but in my heart, I only acknowledge those two as my parents," Felix replied firmly.Yvonne frowned, not expecting this response. "The Greene family made a marriage contract with Lady Nala's family years ago. Though no specific names were mentioned, according to the agreement, you and Lady Nala are the intended couple." Felix laughed bitterly. This explained Nala's interest—like Xena, she was bound by a marriage contract. "Well, I'm honored! But given Lady Nala's status and position,

When a woman said something like that, it showed just how strongly she felt.Even Felix was taken aback as he reached out to touch Yvonne's face. "If I can marry you one day, I won't need anyone's approval. I hope you can understand that."As the car door opened, Yvonne said, "I belong to Lady Nala in both life and death. Even if I'm deeply in love, we cannot be together without her permission. I hope you understand that as well."At sunset, the entrance of Yardley Dining was lined with a red carpet and flanked with rows of elegant torches. The waitresses, clad in dresses, wore bright smiles and were fully prepared for the grand event. A banner that hung above the entrance read, "Welcome to Yardley Dining, Lady Summers."The restaurant was closed to the public that day, all for the sake of one guest—Xena Summers. The smile on Larry's face as he surveyed the restaurant showed how happy he was. Larry Laird, the owner of Yardley Dining, hadn't expected Felix to pull it off. On top o

Larry frowned deeply. The middle-aged man was definitely not joking. He seemed to expect that his employer would be served.Dreamscape was holding a concert in the provincial capital on the following night. Considering that, he had heard that many influential figures were already arriving in town, some of whom could rival Xena's status and even look down on her. If Xena were promoted to a Great Warlord, her status would rise even further, but for now, she still held the title of goddess of war.Hence, Larry knew he had to change his approach to the man before him. "Sir, could you do me a favor? It's really not easy to have the goddess of war here. I'm begging you." Having big names dine in his restaurant was undoubtedly good as it showed his food's popularity. However, he wouldn't be allowed to publicize it, so it wouldn't bring the publicity that Xena's presence would bring.The middle-aged man sneered, refusing to back down. "I can't grant that favor. My patience is limited. Y

"Have you forgotten what I always taught you? The Greene family never fights a battle without certainty. Send an expert to test Felix's abilities first—just testing, mind you, nothing lethal," Meredith instructed.Aiden nodded in understanding. "Yes, Grandma."…At Xena's residence in Yartford, Felix sat silently on the couch until Xena broke the silence. She said, "About your earlier situation, you don't need to worry for now. "While you're on assignment, headquarters will protect your family members, and since you have no acknowledged relatives, this protection extends to your friends."Felix looked up with interest. "Is that really possible?"Xena nodded. "Yes, I've authorized it personally. No matter how powerful they are, the Greene family wouldn't dare openly defy headquarters. "You can rest assured about that. However, how you resolve your conflict with them after the mission is your own business."How to resolve it? Through elimination, of course! Now that his anger h
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 819
Aiden made a subtle hand gesture behind his back. He and Meredith knew that someone like Felix, who would not even acknowledge his own father, would never respect the Greene family's authority.They had not really brought him here to treat Meredith's condition—their true intention was to eliminate Felix. The Greene family had always been ruthless—if someone could not be controlled, what was the point of letting them live? This was especially true since Felix carried Greene blood but refused to serve the family's interests.However, Felix's Dragon Knight status complicated matters. Since it was an official position appointed by headquarters, killing such a person would mean directly opposing the organization—something even the Greene family could not afford."What do you think you're doing, Felix?" Aiden asked with a barely concealed smirk. He had deliberately used Felix's friends to provoke him into attacking first, which would give the Greene family legitimate grounds for retal

No one showed Felix where to go, with only Asher standing beside him as they waited for Aiden to return."Felix, don't be so stubborn. You can't fight the inevitable! You should be grateful that Grandma is willing to let you return to the Greene family," Asher urged, but Felix remained silent."If it weren't for Uncle Victor, do you think I'd be this patient with you? Today is your best chance—if you cure Grandma, you'll prove your worth, and no one will oppose your return to the family."When Felix continued ignoring him, Asher finally became quiet. Ten minutes later, Aiden appeared, pushing a wheelchair, followed by over a dozen impressive-looking individuals.Felix studied the elderly woman in the wheelchair. Despite her silver hair, her skin showed remarkably few wrinkles—a testament to decades of careful maintenance. "Grandma, this is Felix Zeller," Aiden announced.Meredith Armstrong, the Greene family matriarch, did not even bother to flash a smile. She said coldly, "Vict

Felix could not understand why these two had shown up again, especially since his dealings at the Obsidian Auction with the Dragonspine should have left no traces."I won't say it twice," Asher warned, but Aiden ignored him and turned to the woman instead."What seems to be the problem?" Aiden asked, his demeanor commanding respect.Intimidated by Aiden's imposing presence, the woman reluctantly answered, "I have a terrible headache."Aiden snapped his fingers, and his men immediately placed stacks of cash on the table. "Here's 100 thousand dollars. It's all yours—how's your headache now?"The woman excitedly clutched the money to her chest, backing toward the door with a broad smile. "It's gone! The pain is completely gone! Thank you so much!" In the inner room, Melissa felt furious even without seeing what happened. She would have stormed out to confront them if Nala had not held her back."Felix, isn't my way of treating patients faster and more effective than yours?" Aiden

"We still can't confirm if he's really from the Bronze Age over 2000 years ago," Felix mumbled thoughtfully.Everyone studied Benjamin carefully, finding it hard to believe. Yet, considering that his body had been used for ancient alchemical experiments by the greatest mystics of the time, it was not entirely impossible."I'm sure I'll have a way to verify it once we're back in Dragonia," Felix added confidently.At dawn, Felix and Nala were set to return home while Selmer stayed behind. The plan was for Reagan to gather the Steele family that night, eliminate them all, and then return. They were not worried about the Elders' Council for now, as Felix's betrayal would not be discovered anytime soon."Thank you for everything," Felix said on the private jet, still feeling guilty about the night's events. "Don't mention it. I've already decided to pursue you, so helping you is only natural," Nala replied simply.Felix frowned at her words. "A relationship between us is impossible.
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 815
The name Benjamin Stone was entirely unfamiliar to Felix, but he was beginning to piece together the situation. In ancient times, emperors were often called the Sons of the Dragon, and their presence was described as "dragon energy".Felix, with his unique possession of the Dragonspine, could very well radiate such a presence. Was it possible that this man knelt and called him "my liege" because he sensed the dragon energy emanating from the pen?"Stand and speak!" Felix commanded.The strange man obeyed immediately, rising to his feet. His tangled hair fell away, revealing a face marred by dirt and scars. Beneath his grimy exterior, Felix saw the features of a middle-aged man, his eyes cloudy but occasionally flashing with a murderous intensity. It was clear this man had seen countless battles, his energy thick with the bloodlust that only came from waging war—and winning it. Such a presence was impossible to fake. Nala and the others edged closer, curiosity etched across their f

"He treats the brush like a sacred relic, which means he absolutely won't allow anyone else to claim it," Felix said, his voice firm.With that, he grabbed the brush in his hand. Instantly, a roar erupted from far away, followed by Alfie's alarmed shout."Damn it! The creature's turning back!"Selmer instinctively wanted to flee, but seeing Felix remain motionless, he did not dare move either. Disobeying his master in such a moment would be nothing short of betrayal."Step back," Felix said, his tone steely. "At this point, I have no choice but to take a gamble!"As the creature rushed back toward them, Felix's suspicions seemed increasingly accurate. If they did not solve this now, Nala would not be the only one dead. In fact, everyone who had come into contact with the brush—himself included—would eventually be hunted down.If this also involved its presence, that might mean Luna and the others were not safe, either."Mr. Zeller, just… be careful!" Selmer shouted, his voice he

With that roar, Felix finally understood that the monster's target was Nala. He knew he could survive if he abandoned her right now, but how could he do that when she only came to Astoria because of him?As the distance between them and the creature grew shorter, Nala shouted desperately, "Let me go, or we'll both die!"Being only at Pulse Realm, she would have been caught immediately if she ran alone. It was also why Felix had been carrying her all this time."Shut up!" Felix shouted, his heart racing as he realized they had less than five seconds before the creature would catch up to them.In a split-second decision, Felix roughly pushed Nala forward and turned to face the charging monster. He commanded, "Run!"Nala fled with tears streaming down her face, not daring to look back. She knew Felix was buying her time with his life.The ground shook violently as the surrounding rocks crumbled to dust and trees were ripped from their roots. At that moment, Felix unleashed several p

Nala felt helpless, knowing she had many resources back in Dragonia but none here. Felix held onto the brush, refusing to let Alfie take it. "I'm the strongest here—you'd likely die facing them," he explained.He refused to hand the brush over to Alfie, and the latter's expression tightened. It was not a matter of pride—this was a task that could very well cost him his life."No!" Nala grabbed Felix's arm, unwilling to let the man she had grown to love risk his life. Even Selmer stepped forward, saying, "Sir, let me have a go. My life is yours to risk."Luna suddenly spoke up, "Why don't we just leave the brush somewhere? If they're after it, we don't need to sacrifice anyone."An awkward silence fell as they realized the simple logic of her suggestion.After that, they placed the floating, trembling brush in their previous battleground. Then, Felix, Nala, Alfie, and Selmer hid nearby to observe. About ten minutes later, a massive explosion announced the arrival of a mysteriou
