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

Ryan left after giving his warning. He had only consumed a bowl of soup during their encounter. "Mr. Zeller, I'm so sorry," George said.Felix chuckled in response. "What does it have to do with you? I seem to naturally attract trouble, so it's no big deal."Regardless of what Ryan intended, Felix wouldn't hold back if it came down to a confrontation. George understood that Felix was a reasonable person but couldn't help but show a hint of bitter amusement."To be honest, Mr. Zeller, you really gave me quite a shock! Do you actually have some connection with Lady Nala?" George asked.Seeing George's reaction, Felix sensed something was off. "What's going on? Do you know something?"George sighed, and his eyes flickered with mixed emotions. "In all of Dragonia, anyone capable of stepping into the upper echelons knows that Lady Nala has five admirers, and Ryan is one of them! Let's not talk about the others. Anyway, given her status, all those who pursue her have a great status."

It would be a lie to say that Michelle was completely unbothered. However, she wasn't one to retaliate with sharp words. Instead, she spoke in a low voice. "We're all colleagues. Is this really necessary?"The two women sneered. "What? You still won't admit you sold a villa with your body? If you can, why don't you sell a few more houses? How ridiculous!""That's right. If you want us to stop casting weird glances at you, you should prove us wrong with your actions. But do you have that ability?" Just as their taunts faded, a colleague, accompanied by a woman, rushed over. "Michelle, this client is looking for you."Michelle quickly turned away, and a signature smile appeared on her face. "Hello, I'm Michelle Smith."The newcomer was Wendy, who looked her up and down before smiling. "I'm Wendy Kinsley. I'd like to buy two villas from you if that's okay?"Michelle could hardly believe her ears. After a moment, she quickly responded with enthusiasm, "Of course! Please follow me. I

Before George could finish speaking, Michelle had already covered her mouth in shock. The expressions of those around her mirrored her disbelief. It had to be a joke. Rolling two dice could yield a maximum number of 12, which meant potentially buying 12 villas. If that were the case, Michelle would earn so much in commissions that she could kick back and relax.Even though the probability of rolling a 12 was exceedingly low, it didn't matter; the smallest number was two, meaning she would still be making a huge profit. The crowd slowly began to realize that Michelle's success was not merely luck. Clearly, someone powerful was supporting her.Even the sales manager and several members of the management team rushed out, as the commotion was too great to ignore. At that moment, George had already tossed the two dice onto the ground. After rolling around, they came to a stop, prompting everyone to gasp."Wow, it's 12! Why didn't I have this luck when I was gambling?" George muttered,

The VIP seats were in the middle of the concert hall, closest to the performance stage. Everyone knew they were reserved only for the elites. Naturally, most of them were young people; the older generation was rarely seen. Dreamscape wouldn't invite them, either.The VIP seats were all large, single-person couches with unmatched comfort. Beside each couch was a small table with various fruits and drinks.George was one of the earliest to arrive. He had nodded repeatedly to many people he knew, although not to the extent of standing up and greeting them. A polite nod was more than enough.However, he had to stand for some people, such as Nala, who was just passing by him now."Lady Nala, I can't believe you actually came."Nala, as always, wore her veil. Whenever people saw her, there was an urge to lift the veil, though none had the courage."Hmm."With a slight nod, Nala continued onward with Yvonne by her side."Could you let me say a few words to Yvonne?"Without breaking h

"You'll bring me in? What do you mean?" Felix asked, frowning. He didn't recall Xena ever inviting him to the concert."Oh, don't be so coy. I'm in charge of security for this concert, so bringing you in shouldn't be an issue for me." Xena retorted.Felix glanced subtly in Alistair's direction and suddenly understood what was happening."Thank you for the gesture, but Alistair's already left. You don't need to put on this fake show of affection with me."Had Alistair left? Xena turned slightly, confirming that Alistair had indeed already moved off with his team. As always, he was meticulous. Even though he saw Felix, he hadn't stopped to greet him and only focused on his duties."Now that I've made the offer, I won't go back on it! You came all this way to see Dreamscape's concert, right? I'll take you in," Xena insisted.Felix chuckled coldly. If this had been anyone's first encounter with Xena, they might have mistaken her for a gentle, understanding woman. But the truth was th

"Yes, my mistake," George said apologetically.But what had happened had already happened. Felix hadn't been wrong. Initially, everyone focused on the pre-show program on stage, and no one noticed Felix until George came over to his side.Nala and Yvonne were among the first to notice. Their expressions changed upon seeing Felix."Interesting. Felix got an invitation to Dreamscape's concert, too?" Nala mused.Yvonne, however, seemed puzzled. "Lady Nala, isn't it normal for him to be invited, considering he's the top young medical talent in Dragonia?"Nala's gaze returned to the stage before she replied, "You don't understand. Dreamscape's invitation criteria aren't that straightforward. Take a closer look. Why is Ryan the only one here out of the five who are pursuing me? Is he more talented than the other four or the leader in some field?"Yvonne paused, realizing she had been wondering the same thing. If Ryan was here, why hadn't the other four shown up?"I can't explain why,

Ginny was naturally present as well, and she spoke up at that moment. "Mr. Goldstein, no one wanted to see Justus die like that. But why did you bring your people to Longstone residence? Are you suggesting that his sudden death has something to do with us?"Joaquin's expression grew darker as he looked at her. He blamed Ginny for this, thinking that none of this would have happened if she had just agreed earlier. And now, they couldn't even determine the cause of death."No connection? That doctor from your household, Felix Zeller—he's the one responsible for Justus' death."Right then, someone spoke up from the crowd. "That's him! That's Felix Zeller!"Felix, who had been calmly sitting in a chair, finally saw Wagner standing among them. And in that moment, everything made sense."Wagner? You've gotten quite bold, huh?" Gras sneered.Wagner flinched at Gras's words, but remembering that he now had the Goldsteins backing him, he stiffened his spine and stood tall. "Cut the crap

In Cloud City, there were a few noble families. Nonetheless, behind the polite smiles, tensions surged. Infiltrating each other's estates with spies had practically become a tradition. While they rarely uncovered major secrets, the information they did gather always gave them a head start.So when the news broke, Gras didn't doubt it for a second. He jumped to his feet, furious. "This is outrageous! Their son dies, and somehow it's the Longstone family's fault?"Ryker looked just as puzzled, agreeing that the accusation made no sense.But Felix let out a quiet, weary sigh. "Mr. Longstone, I'm afraid this is probably my fault. I'm a doctor, and I've gotten a bit of attention lately. After they failed to determine the cause of Justus' death, and given our meeting earlier today, they likely saw an opportunity to drag your family into the mess." Gras's expression darkened, knowing that Felix wasn't wrong. After all, doctors could also be poisoners, and plenty of martial artists had fa

It was clear someone had said something to Justus. Otherwise, this situation wouldn't have escalated to this point.Felix said calmly, "It was a standard therapeutic massage technique, and I was blindfolded the entire time. Does that explanation satisfy you? Or would you rather find someone else capable of treating Ms. Longstone—I'll gladly step aside if you can."Justus sneered, his eyes filled with disdain. "Cut the crap, Felix. Don't act like I don't know exactly what's going through your head. Ginny's the heiress of the Longstone residence—Gras's precious jewel. Everyone knows that marrying her is like securing the entire household. Don't tell me that thought never crossed your mind.""It didn't," Felix said simply.Unfortunately, that answer was never going to satisfy Justus. He snarled, "Listen up, boy! I'm giving you three days to get the hell out of the Longstone residence. If you don't, you won't even get the chance to regret it. Everyone else might be afraid of Gras—but I

As Wagner watched Justus explode in rage, he felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction. With what he'd just uncovered, there was no need to exaggerate—it was already explosive enough on its own.After all, Justus' future fiancée was touched in that kind of intimate way by a young, healthy doctor. Any man with a spine would lose it."But Justus," Wagner added with a smirk. "Didn't Felix just get publicly praised by the Green King?"Cloud City wasn't that big. Anyone with any influence had been keeping close tabs on Green King Manor—especially with the mystery man who walked out of Desolated Lands involved. So, the news of Felix being rewarded had already spread far and wide.Justus clenched his jaw. "So what? It's just a flash in the pan. If he was truly skilled, the Green King would've kept him. But as long as he hasn't climbed into the Green King's inner circle, I can crush him whenever I want."Wagner's grin widened. That was exactly the attitude he needed. If Justus had shown

The moment the Flame Monarch mentioned the Healer Sage, the Green King's expression shifted noticeably. "So the Sage really was living out there in seclusion... No wonder. Flame Monarch, does this mean you've taken a liking to Felix?"But the Flame Monarch waved his hand dismissively. "There's no need for that."That response made the Green King secretly rejoice. If the Flame Monarch didn't intend to recruit Felix, then he understood why—and that was perfect. It meant the opportunity to take Felix under his own wing was wide open.The night passed quietly. Felix stood beside Christopher's bedside, noticing the man's breathing had grown steady and stable.At this point, the herb had run its course and was no longer effective. But what was left inside Christopher's soul—a strange, lingering force—was exactly what Felix had hoped for.Christopher was alive but completely unconscious. The remaining energy had no regenerative properties, which meant he'd likely never wake again. For Fe

Felix wasn't the least bit surprised by the Flame Monarch's reaction, but he still feigned confusion. "Flame Monarch, I'm sorry... but I don't understand. What do you mean by soul-related injuries?"Just from that single line, Felix confirmed what he suspected—Aquamarinus had no concept of soul-based matters. Whether it was training methods or anything else, this realm hadn't yet touched that domain.The Flame Monarch stared at him, pressure radiating from his body. Felix immediately felt his limbs start to tremble under the invisible weight."You don't know? Then how could you claim to treat that man's condition?" Felix calmly pointed toward the herbs laid out on the table. "The force inside him is definitely strange. It triggered a memory... I once sensed something very similar, and it came from within that herb. It was purely instinct—when something feels familiar, there's a chance it might work."The Flame Monarch shifted his gaze to the herb, then said flatly, "Start from th

Felix gave him a direct and honest answer. "As long as I have enough herbs. I can treat him. I won't promise a full recovery, but one thing I can guarantee you is that this man won't die."For now, that was the best possible answer anyone could offer.The Flame Monarch replied, "Good. Begin. As long as you can keep him alive, you'll be handsomely rewarded."It seemed the Flame Monarch already knew something and never truly expected anyone to completely cure Christopher. Preserving his life alone would already be a feat."Flame Monarch, please reconsider!" one of the elderly doctors suddenly cut in, seething with resentment. "This boy is barely grown—how could he possibly possess such remarkable skill in medicine?"The Flame Monarch turned and gave him a cold, mocking glance. "If he can't do it, then can you?"The old man went silent. Perhaps fearing the loss of favor or acting out of sheer pride, he hesitated. Eventually, he found the courage to speak again."I admit I can't, bu
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1529
The Green King's expression changed instantly, and he turned to Felix in a hurry. "Dr. Zeller, please come with me to greet him.""Of course," Felix replied.For anyone in Aquamarinus, getting the chance to see the Flame Monarch up close was like a once-in-a-lifetime dream, and people would probably die happy just for that. Naturally, Felix put on a show of reverence as well, even if he didn't feel it deep down.As they reached the front gate, Felix saw several figures striding toward them with heavy steps. At the front of the group was a towering man, nearly nine feet tall. Even someone as built as Dave looked like a delicate bystander next to him.What stood out the most was his bright crimson hair, which flared upward like flames, making it look like his head was on fire. His facial features were fairly average, but the power behind his gaze radiated pure, undeniable authority.So, this was the Flame Monarch?Felix studied him closely. He suspected the man had cultivated some

According to the rules set by the Flame Monarch, the position of Minor Kings rotated every five years. Those who made outstanding contributions could keep their titles, but anyone who fell short would have to fight for their place all over again.The Green King knew he wasn't particularly strong—he was painfully aware of that. And with the next year marking the fifth year, the pressure was mounting fast. So when Christopher appeared, it felt like fate. If he could heal this man before the Flame Monarch arrived with his elite doctors, the credit would be immense, and his reappointment would be virtually guaranteed. Anyone who had never held a Minor King title wouldn't understand just how many perks came with it. If they did, no one would give it up willingly."I can treat him," Felix said calmly. "But I can't promise a full recovery."The Green King smiled. "Do your best. Even if you can only keep him alive, that alone is worth it."Two doctors before had said that Christopher's b
