The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 39
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

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

"Are... Are you saying that the buyer was the client I passed on to you?" Sandra asked."Yes. It's Mr. Zeller. You must join us for dinner tonight!" Alice replied.Sandra was stunned. She was overwhelmed by the thought of Felix paying 25 million dollars in full. Her eyes reddened, and she almost burst into tears.After snapping back to reality, she rushed out of the sales office and called Ruth."Sandra, what's up?" Ruth answered the call.Sandra was on the verge of a tirade. Losing over a million dollars in commission because Ruth interfered was infuriating. Alice might have appeared to be thanking her, but in reality, she had become the joke of the whole department.However, Ruth's wealthy background and her past assistance to Sandra made it impossible for Sandra to lose her temper. "Ruth, that Felix guy really bought a fully furnished villa from my colleague. He paid 25 million dollars all at once.""No way!" Ruth exclaimed.Sandra could tell from the crack in Ruth's voice j

Having bought a bunch of daily necessities from the supermarket, Felix began setting up his new villa. It wasn't too much trouble since he was living alone. He had also bought basic condiments and fresh ingredients, planning to cook something at noon.Just then, Kane showed up."Please take a seat. I'll prepare the meal," Felix said.Tears of excitement brimmed in Kane's eyes, and he felt that even if he were to die right then, he would have no regrets. He never thought he'd get to eat Felix's homemade dishes. Even the deputy leader of Dragon Alliance probably didn't get that kind of treatment.In fact, Felix had him come over because he needed to report something.When the food was served, Felix smiled and said, "Have a taste."His cooking skills were no joke. They were honed by the constant pressure from his fellow apprentices during his time at Eden Village."It's delicious! My lord, the food is superb," Kane remarked.Felix started eating, then said, "You can just call me

Felix blinked in surprise. He didn't expect that Sasha thought his purchase of the villa was linked to selling the porcelain teapot. "Well, it's up to you if you want to think that way." He was unwilling to explain or clarify, as it would likely lead to endless questioning.After the house tour, Warren was quite pleased. Suddenly, he felt a bit unwell.When Warren went to the washroom, Nattie took the opportunity to say, "The gold you gave us back then was worth at most ten million dollars. Now this villa is valued at 25 million dollars. "If I say the extra amount is interest, you probably wouldn't believe it yourself! But in any case, we are fully settled. Do you have any issues with that?"Felix was nearly convinced by Nattie's logic. She talked as if the porcelain teapot belonged to her."Fine. Whatever you say," Felix replied.Nattie then took out a printed document. "I understand you likely don't have the original IOU with you, so just sign this. Otherwise, it's just an e

As Felix turned around, he saw several security guards dragging someone toward him. The noise earlier was the person being dragged shouting."It doesn't matter who you know! Shut him up. How dare he cause a scene here? He must be out of his mind!" one of the security guards said.Felix furrowed his brows as he recognized the person being dragged. It was Sasha's cousin, Milo. That guy had been quite sarcastic toward him at Warren's birthday party. He didn't understand why Milo was calling out his name now.As Felix was about to ignore the situation and leave, Milo saw him and shouted as if he were a savior, "Felix! He's Felix! He really knows your boss!"The security guards turned their attention to Felix, and one of them promptly inquired, "Sir, do you know our boss?"Felix shook his head. "I have nothing to do with this."Although he didn't know the reason Milo was being treated that way by security, he felt the latter deserved it. After all, he was just as much a troublemaker a

Felix was well aware that Warren would never lie in his life, so it must have been Sasha who suggested it. However, it didn't matter to him. He could tolerate it as long as it wasn't too much.Besides, he had already promised Wendy he would attend the banquet. The process didn't matter as long as the outcome was right.The scale of the Kinsley family's banquet was impressive, with the venue set at Snowfall Manor near the suburbs. The luxury vehicles along the way indicated that Avesburgh's elites were all attending.As they reached the manor's entrance and got out of the car, Sasha suddenly remembered something. She glanced at Felix. "I left my bag in the car. Could you get it for me?""Why can't you get it yourself?" Felix retorted.Sasha was stunned. She never expected Felix to talk like that. He was just too obnoxious."Do you want us to stand here and argue so others can laugh at us? Or do you want me to tell my dad that you have no sense of chivalry?" she asked.Not wanting

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

The Walsh residence in Aleshire, sprawling across 35 acres, was a testament to their wealth. The renovations alone had cost around two billion dollars, and the total property value was estimated at 20 billion dollars—a clear display of their immense fortune.For a family like theirs, there was no need to book high-end hotels or luxury resorts for weddings. Their estate was more than sufficient to host the grandest of celebrations. Today marked the wedding of Michael, the youngest Walsh son, to Yvonne, Nala's personal secretary. It was a perfect match given their social standings, and the steady stream of luxury cars arriving at the estate indicated the scale of the event. Soon, a Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled up, and Nala stepped out, still wearing her signature veil. She was accompanied by Alfie, who had donned a custom-tailored suit. The Walsh family's major members personally greeted her, which just showed how extraordinary her status was. Once they reached a private

Michael raised his glass and said, "George is right. Here's to you both. I hope you enjoy your time in Aleshire, and don't hesitate to ask if you need anything." He knew exactly why these two were here—they were attending his wedding tomorrow. However, given they were at The Nightowl, an upscale nightclub, he figured it was best not to bring it up.Ryan and George raised their glasses in response, but Felix remained motionless. His indifference seriously irritated Michael."I don't believe we've met. Who might you be?" Michael's youthful pride got the better of him. He could have just finished his drink and left, but he felt the need to assert himself. He could not let this slide, and he wondered who Felix thought he was to disrespect him like this. "I'm Felix Zeller. I'm no one important, but here's a word of advice—if you're planning to get married, show some respect for each other, alright?"Michael could not believe Felix was actually lecturing him. His irritat

What? Calista, who was about to tell the three hostesses to sit down, froze mid-smile. Felix's words carried an unmistakable challenge.Ryan and George exchanged knowing looks. Of all the people to clash with in Aleshire, it had to be the Walsh family. They knew Felix's true purpose here. "Do you... still want Sadie?" Chewing watermelon, Felix crossed his legs. "Yes, only Sadie. Pass a message to Mr. Walsh. If he's smart, send her over."As Calista hesitated, George's cold voice cut in, "Are you deaf or lame?" "Right away!"The manager knew her customers well. Some big shots could be managed, but others were untouchable. George and Ryan belonged to the latter category. "Do you need backup, Mr. Zeller?" George asked after Calista left, making the other girls hold their breath. In Aleshire, few dared cross the Walsh family. The girls could not believe they met people who dared to do so today."We're civilized, aren't we? But can you guess which Walsh it is?" Ryan answer

Was Yvonne really trying to send a reminder to Felix? It was unnecessary. He had not forgotten his promise to her at Ernest's birthday party. Though Felix would not dare claim Yvonne as his, they had been intimate, and her feelings were obvious. If he could not marry her, he could at least let her choose her own happiness instead of being controlled by Nala. They reached Aleshire at sunset. George led Felix to a nightclub. "Yartford is the political center of the country, so certain things have to be done discreetly there. But Aleshire's different. Tonight, you'll see real entertainment." Felix was not particularly interested, but he had time to kill. "The Nightowl is Aleshire's finest club. No one dares claim second place." Inside, hostesses with curvy legs lined the entrance. "Mr. Zimmerman! It's been too long!" A youthful-looking older woman approached. Her light makeup showed how confident she was about her appearance rather than courage. "Ah, Calista! Still stunning

After settling Michelle in, Felix headed to the living room. He hesitated for a bit before calling Karina. Max's authority over Meadowspring villagers was beyond his current powerless state. But with Michelle's safety at stake, he had no choice. Soon, the call was connected. "Felix, what's wrong?" Felix felt guilty about failing his promise. "Karina, about Michelle..." After hearing the story, Karina said, "Pearly? I don't know her, but I'll look into it. Don't worry. I'll make sure she never troubles Michelle again." She added, "Don't blame yourself. I know your situation is complicated." It was complicated indeed.…Two peaceful weeks passed. Felix continued his daily ritual of cultivating Dragonspine at Yardley Dining, undisturbed by the Elders' Council or others. True to Karina's word, the threat vanished. If not, Max would not have waited this long given his menacing attitude earlier. His only frustration was Xena. Even Alistair confirmed she had been swamped since

From that observation, Felix could tell how incredibly powerful the Saphira family had to be as one of the ancient martial arts families. Once in the car, Felix paused before saying, "Was the chief pointing at me?" Ryland was too distracted, and Michelle was still unconscious, so Theodore nodded. "Yes. He meant you." Theodore was still stunned. The village chief was practically a Martial Emperor, and he actually owed Felix his life. What other secrets did Felix hold? Felix fell silent as he recalled the scene just now. Under the torchlight, he remembered the chief had tanned skin, average height, and a small goatee. "It's him!" Felix suddenly remembered who he was. When Felix had just started studying medicine with Gerald years ago, he had found the chief unconscious while gathering herbs. The man was close to dying, and Felix's limited skills could only slow the decline. It was impossible to save him. In the end, Gerald had stepped in. He cursed Felix's do-gooder nature

Ryland's face paled as his eyes widened. "She... She's alive?" Max grinned. "Watch your mouth, kid. How could my boss possibly have died? You disappointed her, and those who disappoint must pay." Pointing at Felix, he continued, "The original plan was to drug him and Michelle and film their affair to crush you emotionally before dealing with you physically. But he seemed to be a traditional medicine practitioner, so he noticed the drugs. We had no choice but to attack first." Ryland looked devastated. "No, I waited! She never appeared. I couldn't possibly wait forever. It's not my fault!" "Let's go," Felix cut in, knowing this wasn't the time. "Going somewhere?" Max threw a knife into the ground before Ryland. "Kill your girlfriend Michelle, and all is forgiven!"Ryland stood frozen, clearly shaken by the mention of that woman Pearly. "What if he refuses?" Felix asked. Max traced a circle in the air. "Then, you all die. This is Meadowspring's burial ground. Without the c

Outside the bar, members of the Earthen Hall were waiting. Vivian had returned to the headquarters of Dragon Alliance hours ago to handle urgent matters, so these guards had been reassigned from Yardley Dining.As they drove, Theodore suddenly spoke up, "Now I remember why Meadowspring sounded familiar." "What do you mean?" Felix asked. The address the brute left was called Meadowspring, an oddly named place. "It's a branch village of the Saphira family. We need to be extremely careful." His voice alone showed how wary he was of the Saphiras."Are they that dangerous?" Theodore gave Felix a strange look, wondering how someone important enough to mobilize Dragon Alliance could be so ignorant. "Eight ancient martial arts families have survived in modern Dragonia, with one in each province's capital. We have one in Canraville, which is the Saphira family." Seeing Felix's blank look, Theodore continued, "These eight families have maintained their power for thousands of years. H
