The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 391
"Felix, I'm meeting Nessa's parents soon. If everything goes smoothly, we'll be handing out wedding invitations," Jack revealed.At the bar, Jack was grinning ear to ear. He was not getting any younger. To him, success in life meant both career and family. With his career already set, marriage was the logical next step. "Am I right, Nessa?" Vanessa smiled and replied, "Don't worry. I get to choose whoever I want to marry. My parents can't tell me what to do." Though there would certainly be some resistance, she was being truthful. Besides, everything would surely work out once Felix had given her that book of martial arts techniques. "I'm going to use the bathroom," Felix said. Beer always had a way of sending people to the bathroom. After finishing up and washing his hands, Felix was rounding the corner when someone blocked his path. Felix stepped aside, but the guy matched his movements and kept blocking him. From his swaying body and the heavy stench of alcohol, it was cl

Jack was still uneasy after hanging up. Then Vanessa asked with a grave look, "Are you sure you heard right? Did they say Crimson Sage Sect?" "Yeah! What's wrong? Do you know about them?" Vanessa's eyes showed a mix of emotions. "Crimson Sage Sect is an extremely powerful organization. Felix is in serious trouble this time." What? Jack did not know much about these matters, but his girlfriend was a martial artist, so he had to trust her judgment. "Damn it, let's go! We can't just sit here doing nothing!" The only thing he could do now was contact everyone he knew or tried to find out if Felix had any powerful connections they could reach out to. "Wait, Felix's phone is still on the table. I'll grab it," Vanessa said.When Vanessa came back, Felix's phone suddenly rang. Looking at the screen, she remarked puzzlingly, "Xena? Isn't that Dragonia's goddess of war? How does Felix know someone like that? No, it must be someone else with the same name." Jack did not care about th

Xena practically roared those words. Even Felix heard them clearly while sitting beside Jaden. He felt moved and surprised by how much she cared about him. Xena never ran from problems. Just as she had been firm in her previous stance, she was ready to face anything together now that she had decided to be with Felix. This only made Jaden angrier. The more she cared about Felix, the more it infuriated him. "Xena, do I need to remind you how your cousin Ted died and why your uncle Perry committed suicide? Have you forgotten all that? And now you're still protecting Felix, who's your enemy. I really don't understand what's going through your head." After Felix's warning last time, Xena investigated his claims and discovered that Ted had indeed tried to harm Felix a few times using vicious methods. He only failed because of Felix's strength. As for Perry, his overly indulgent parenting had led to all this. "Stop with the pointless talk. Are you releasing him or not?" Xena asked b

"Mr. Black, Ms. Morgan is here to see Jaden," a subordinate reported to Cecil.Zara? After seeing Cecil's nod, Jaden said, "Let her in."Her sudden visit at this hour gave Jaden an uneasy feeling. Zara greeted Cecil when she entered, "Mr. Black." Cecil said with a smile, "Zara, you must have urgent business at this hour. Go ahead, I won't leave." Hearing this, Zara turned to Jaden and got straight to the point, asking, "Jaden, would you please release Felix?" Jaden's expression darkened. Damn, was Felix some kind of celebrity? He had barely taken him, yet people already knew and were pleading for his release. "No way." A flash of disappointment crossed Zara's face as she continued, "You promised me you wouldn't clash with Felix again. Are you going to break your word to me too?" Shaking his head, Jaden replied seriously, "I'm not breaking my promise. This time, Felix killed one of our disciples from Crimson Sage Sect. As an elder of the sect, how could I stand and do nothin
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 395
In the big courtyard of Crimson Sage Sect, Felix stood on a raised platform. He was flanked by two sect elders who had clear orders to kill him at any suspicious movement. The thunderous sound of helicopter blades grew louder as it approached. Looking up, Felix guessed it must be Xena arriving. Even after her phone call with Jaden had proved futile, Xena still came to Crimson Sage Sect in person for Felix's sake. Whatever Jaden's plans were, this couldn't be good. As the helicopter landed in the courtyard, Xena emerged alone without any backup. Her eyes immediately found Felix, and she walked straight toward him. "You shouldn't have come," he said.Xena bit her lower lip but kept walking. "I don't need you telling me what to do. Keep quiet!" She feared Felix might say something that would further anger the sect members. Regardless of what really happened, they could not deny that a disciple from Crimson Sage Sect was dead. As she reached the platform, Jaden blocked her pa

"Do you really mean it?" Xena's eyes revealed nothing about what she was truly thinking.Jaden nodded. "Of course. Our sect leader and Supreme Elder are here as witnesses." Cecil added, "Indeed. Jaden brought him in, and according to our sect's rules, he has absolute authority over how he wants to deal with Felix." As Xena was about to speak, Felix cut in, "Get out of here, Xena! I don't need a woman sacrificing herself to save me." When Xena tried to respond, Felix roared with veins bulging in his neck, "Damn it! I said get out! Right now!" Xena finally turned to Felix and smiled. Her smile was so enchanting that everyone, including Jaden, was mesmerized. "There were many misunderstandings between us in the past. Even though I still believe I wasn't wrong, I've always felt bad about how things went. So let me do something meaningful for you this time." As her smile faded, Xena spoke softly, "Release Felix, and I'll marry you." "Release him!"Just as Jaden was savoring
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 397
With those words, Cecil had asserted Crimson Sage Sect's status and his resolve in this matter. But at the same time, he had also insulted the two master healers, Xander and Wesley. Jaden breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing how the other sect members remained silent after Cecil spoke, he could confirm that they were on his side. "What if you add me to the equation?" Suddenly, Zara spoke up, which made Cecil's eyes flicker. "Zara! Why are you stirring up trouble?" Jaden asked.Zara gave Jaden a disappointed look and replied, "Don't call me Zara anymore! Love should be mutual between a man and a woman, yet you're using such dirty tactics to pursue someone. From this moment on, our friendship is over!" Damn it! So be it, then. Once he managed to marry Xena, Zara would be nothing compared to him. Before long, he might even become the leader of Martial Alliance. Xena's case was a little trickier to him because of her position. If it were any other woman from a prestigious or wealth

Glaring at Felix, Wesley scolded, "Quiet, boy! It would be one thing if we hadn't known about this. But now that we do, we absolutely cannot allow such a despicable thing to happen! How is this any different from executing a scientist after they create a groundbreaking invention?" Just as he finished, another voice rang out. "Wow! Bravo!" Two more figures appeared, which made the members of Crimson Sage Sect ogle in shock. These newcomers were true big shots. They were the third and fourth best master healers in Dragonia, Brandon and Seth. It was Brandon who had spoken, and from his tone, he seemed to have been watching for a while. Even Cecil's heart began racing. "Cecil, we once wandered the martial world together as brothers. I wanted to show you some respect and to see if there was still room for redemption. But it seems you and your entire sect are more shameless than I expected," Brandon said.Their arrival made Jaden back several steps away. He knew everything was about

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
