The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 355
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,
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 356
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
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 358
Felix smiled. "I promise I'll take care of everything. Also, Xena should be arriving soon." At that moment, Larry was much more respectful than before. If anyone caused trouble for Felix, he would do everything in his power to protect him. After about ten minutes, Xena arrived. As she exited the car, fireworks were launched all around her. Furrowing her brow, she was surprised by the grand welcome. However, her expression relaxed when she spotted Felix. They both had the same principle in dealing with matters—once they made a promise, they had to follow through. Once they entered the restaurant's private room, exquisite dishes were served one after another, and Felix began to eat. "Are you not hungry?" he asked, noticing that Xena hadn't picked up her utensils. She shook her head slightly. "Since you're here, you should at least eat a little. It's polite," Felix insisted.Hesitating for a moment, Xena finally took a small bite, and the delicious food sparked her appetite

In a bedroom of the villa, Felix furrowed his brow deeply. He had been checking Leslie's pulse for a long time, but he couldn't sense any abnormalities in her body. He was at a loss about why she had fainted. "Could it really be a toxin I've never encountered before? Even Mr. Hoffman can't do anything about it? How can I possibly resolve this?" he mused aloud as he felt his anxiety grow.The nine fellow apprentices were like family to him, and seeing Leslie collapse in front of him caused him to feel immense pain.Just then, Leslie opened her eyes, managing a weak smile. "Did I faint? How long has it been?" "It's been half an hour," Felix replied."That's longer than before. At first, it was just a bit of dizziness, but now it's half an hour. If this continues, I might not wake up at all the next time I faint." Leslie was undeniably beautiful. Her short hair accentuated her delicate and refined appearance, bringing out the fairness of her skin. Her words and expressions stirre
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 360
Leslie's face turned red again after hearing Felix's words. Recalling the wild moment they shared, she felt a longing to experience it once more but forced herself to suppress those urges. "Stop joking around. Didn't you say you would introduce me to an apprentice? Bring her over," Leslie instructed."Alright." After his call with Alistair, Felix was about to say something when Leslie placed a finger on his lips. "You don't need to make me any promises. I understand your situation." Felix felt moved that his fellow apprentices truly understood him. In comparison, Xena seemed to lack in that aspect. Just half an hour later, Alistair rushed in with his sister. "Yara, thank Dr. Zeller for saving your life." Having been unconscious previously, Alistair sincerely appreciated Felix's help."No need to thank me. Have my fellow apprentice take a look at her first." Nodding, Leslie approached and examined Yara. Her expression soon lit up with joy. "Yes, the constitution of her

A stern-looking middle-aged man sat in the living room of the mansion. The middle-aged man was Andrei Hawkins.Just then, his subordinate reported, "Mr. Hawkins, we've checked, and the bombs in the car are real." A flicker of surprise passed through Andrei's eyes. "Oh? It seems the death of his son has hit him hard." At that moment, the door opened, and Perry walked in. "You are finally willing to see me!" Andrei smiled. "If I refused, would you have blown up my door?" Perry sat down, expressionless. "Andrei, I know you hate me. Ever since the moment I took her from you, you've held a deep-seated grudge against me. Now that I'm here, you can finally fulfill your wish." Waving his hand, Andrei maintained his smile and said, "Don't be so pessimistic. Your ability to father children should still be intact. You understand what I mean, right?" There was a crazy light in Perry's eyes as he shouted, "No! My son is dead, and there will never be another! I have to kill that person.

At Yardley Dining, Felix entered the private room to find George already sipping on some soup."Don't mind me, Mr. Zeller. I just couldn't resist having a couple of spoonfuls," George said.Felix made no comment. Seeming frustrated, he asked, "Did we really have to have lunch together at noon?""Of course! After the concert, I'm heading back to Yartford tonight. You have no idea when you'll return to Yartford, so we need to catch up!" George replied. Then, as if remembering something, he added, "I have a friend coming too. Someone I consider a brother. His background is even more prominent than mine. Is that alright with you?"Felix picked up the bowl in front of him and took a sip before responding, "Since you've already decided for me, what can I say?" He knew George meant well. After all, anyone George regarded as a close brother had to be someone significant. Besides, having more friends meant more connections. But although the world was supposed to work that way, Felix f

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
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 468
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
