The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 40
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

"Felix, come with me. I'll introduce you to some people who could be useful to you later." The moment Warren saw Felix, he almost dragged him away immediately."Uncle Warren, thank you for your good intentions, but I have my own approach. I'm really not that keen on this," Felix replied.Warren smiled and patted Felix on the shoulder. "Alright. I guess I was being too eager. Go ahead with Sasha and get to know some of the younger folks.""Okay," Felix responded. After Warren left, Sasha's expression turned icy. "Don't expect me to show you around."Felix said nothing and headed to a corner. He planned to grab something to eat and then call Wendy.If he hadn't given prior instructions, Wendy would have already been at the entrance to greet him personally. He didn't want Sasha to see the other side of him. After all, he wouldn't need to keep up the act much longer.Meanwhile, Sasha approached Hugo. She looked a bit nervous. "Hugo, do you remember me? I was also at Ivan's barbecue

Nelly had always maintained professional distance with all her clients, which had worked to discourage Huxley's advances since he was never really interested in buying property. However, Felix's arrival completely disrupted that delicate balance.After a long moment of internal struggle, Nelly agreed. "Fine, I'll have dinner and karaoke with you tonight, but that's all."Huxley smiled darkly, knowing she would not have any control over what happened once she was there, especially after he slipped something into her drink."That won't be necessary," Felix interrupted firmly. "I actually appreciate having all these people guarding my clinic. Nelly, please go home."Upon seeing Huxley's expression turn venomous, Nelly panicked. "Mr. Zeller, please stay out of this. I know what I'm doing.""I said it's not necessary," Felix repeated calmly.Huxley's expression darkened as he grabbed Felix's collar. "Do you actually think having Clement back you up makes you untouchable? What's your c

Xena nodded slowly. "Of course, I've heard of them! Everyone who joins gets that training at headquarters. "How could anyone not know about the legendary Chief Commander? But what does this have to do with Felix?"She had tried calling Conan earlier, but he had been too scared to say anything. Hence, she was now questioning Alistair."The legendary Chief Commander appeared today—she's Felix's senior," Alistair explained. "One call to Hugh, and within minutes, they discovered the forensics team had falsified everything on the phone.""What?" Xena shot up from her chair. "Are you absolutely certain Felix's senior is the legendary Chief Commander?"Though Alistair only responded with a telling look, she knew it was true. The news was absolutely staggering—this connection was far more significant than knowing any warlord."Based on Mr. Spade's reaction, the Chief Commander hasn't aged a day," Alistair added thoughtfully.Xena gave a bitter laugh. "Of course not. One can only imagin

Conan did not want to stay a second longer in this place. After all, this was the legendary Chief Commander, someone even Lionel respected. He had really shot himself in the foot this time, wishing he had shown better judgment.After they left, Felix breathed a sigh of relief, finally understanding why the forensics results were compromised. It seemed John had timed his report precisely for this reason."Thank you, Mira," Felix said sincerely.Averill immediately protested with a mischievous grin. "What about me? Don't forget you did nothing but lie in bed last time. You should thank me for my hard work too."Felix felt his face burning with embarrassment—only Averill would make such suggestive comments in front of Mira."How did you two end up coming together?" he asked, trying to change the subject.Mira's eyes sparkled with amusement. "I was too lazy to track you down, so I had Averill do the legwork." She turned to Averill and added, "Don't you have a flight to catch?"Ave

Conan whirled around to find another stunningly beautiful woman, and he widened his eyes. He could not help but think, "Damn! What kind of luck does Felix have to have such gorgeous seniors?""Of course! What, are you planning to interfere too?" he challenged, trying to maintain his authority.Felix stood up, surprised to see that Averill's mentioned senior was none other than Mira, who had gracefully entered the room carrying a distinctive purple umbrella—the kind of accessory that demanded attention whether you wanted to give it or not."Well, well, headquarters has really gone downhill if this is the caliber of agents they're producing these days," Mira remarked with a cold smile.Conan's face reddened with rage at the insult to headquarters, but his anger suddenly froze as he took a closer look at Mira's face. He stumbled backward several steps. "Y-You're..."Ignoring Conan, Mira pulled out her phone and dialed a number. "Listen here, Hugh. Just because you're retired doesn't

A flash of annoyance crossed Alistair's eyes, but he still made the introduction. "Mr. Zeller, this is Mr. Conan Spade from headquarters, a joint investigator. Given the international implications of this case, they're taking it quite seriously." Conan scoffed at these words. "Mister? Really, Alistair? You're getting soft—since when do we address suspects as 'mister'?""How I address people is my business," Alistair shot back. "As long as the investigation is thorough, my manners aren't your concern." Ignoring the exchange, Conan dropped heavily into the chair across from Felix. "The voice recordings and videos from your phone have been authenticated—it's definitely you, Felix. No amount of denial will help unless you can provide an alibi, so you'd better come with us right now."He added with menace, "And if you resist, we're authorized to use lethal force!"Conan's hostility was crystal clear, but Felix chose not to dwell on it. He replied, "I actually do have an alibi, though

Felix's first thought was that they had found out that he killed Mason, but he quickly dismissed it. First, he had been meticulous. Since Mason had come to kill him, he would have surely avoided cameras himself. Secondly, the Jacobs family would learn about his death first. There was no way they would ask the cops for help instead of taking revenge themselves. These two points made it unlikely. So, what was it? "Xena, don't joke around. How could I have murdered someone?" "That's not for you to decide. Did you think I'd call you if this wasn't official? Alistair's coming for you. I hope you'll cooperate, or I'll issue an arrest warrant." The call ended right there, and Felix was left bewildered. He could only go home and wait. An hour later, Alistair found his address. He sat in Felix's living room with two Wolfie troopers. The fact that they had not even given him a heads-up despite their relationship meant this was official business. "Mr. Zeller, I apologize, but we mus

If Felix wanted to have regular interactions with Willow, he first needed a job. Maintaining his usual air of mystery would only create distance.After consideration, he decided that continuing his career as a doctor made the most sense. It was the fastest way to connect with people. After all, everyone would get sick sometimes."There's a traditional medicine clinic for rent just a block away. But you should see it yourself first." Nelly's efficiency was impressive. After all, she was familiar with the industry. "Thanks again. Just call me Felix." "Sure, Felix." Nelly's colleagues had been right when they said she was a reserved woman. She had not been putting on an act when she always maintained professional distance with wealthy clients. Her different approach with Felix stemmed from her intuition. His eyes were always filled with sincerity whenever he looked at her. The clinic was about 800 square feet. Though it was not big, it was sufficient for use. It had thrived un

Almost immediately after Mason's death, a scarlet thread shot out from his body straight toward Felix. The thread moved so fast that Felix could not react before it vanished. Quickly sitting in a meditation pose, Felix located the thread within himself."Even with my current power, it'll take a month to fully dissolve this Scarlet Thread." Since the thread was not harming him, Felix guessed it had to be some kind of ancestral protection to identify who killed their descendant.Though Felix had instantly suppressed it to its limit, total elimination would take at least a month. This was why he was frustrated. While his suppression had reduced the thread's tracking range greatly, it was not gone. Within a certain distance, it could still instantly identify Felix as Mason's killer. Whoever created this thread was powerful. They were definitely beyond Felix's current ability to fight. But nothing could be done about it now. He would have to take things one step at a time.Seven

Unless? Melissa's eyes lit up eagerly. "Don't keep me hanging! Unless what?" "Unless he's from one of the two most mysterious sects or the Greene family. I can't think of any other possibility." Melissa's expression turned worried as she pondered. "What should I do? Should I heed his calls? And is that mark real?"Her mentor answered without hesitation, "Of course the mark is real! If he wanted you dead, you'd be dead already. You have a chance to connect with a supreme prodigy, and you're thinking of avoiding him?"Has all that phone-stealing messed up your brain? Best case scenario, you could have his child, then—"Melissa hung up. That old man was being ridiculous again. But recalling Felix's appearance, she stroked her chin with a playful smile and said, "Having his child might not be so bad... Oh, my, why am I feeling butterflies?"…Around 1:00 am, Mason had just entered the living room of Villa No. 3 in Heavenly Meadow when he found Felix waiting at the stairs. "You
