If Robert had known he would be helping Pierce against Felix, he would not have come for anything. Pierce was dumbfounded. He could not believe Felix could make Robert leave so obediently. Robert came from a prestigious background too. While not as wealthy as his father, he had other significant influence. How was this possible? "Break both his legs. Tell Andrei to come collect him," Felix ordered."Yes!" Luis was deeply impressed. Hearing about something was one thing, but witnessing Felix make Pierce's backup retreat with just a word was truly eye-opening. …At sunset, Andrei listened to the report with furrowed brows in the Hawkins residence. "So, Robert just left? That hot-headed kid is usually so impulsive. Why would he leave like that?" His subordinate shook his head. "Not sure. From what we saw, Robert seemed terrified of Felix. He left without a peep." Andrei fell silent and went deep in thought. His subordinate prompted, "Mr. Hawkins Senior, what about Mr. Pierce?

Theodore was even more shocked than Felix. He could immediately recognize from their uniforms that everyone in the warehouse belonged to Earthern Hall. "Interesting. Seems like Andrei sent quite a remarkable person," Felix said, his voice snapping Theodore out of his shock.Theodore took a deep breath and stepped forward. "Indeed, you're not an ordinary guy. You're even able to command members of Dragon Alliance." Since Theodore recognized them, things might turn out easier than expected. "In that case, tell me why Andrei's causing me trouble. Make it quick." Theodore shook his head. "I don't know the details. My only task is to take Pierce back." Felix smiled. "Since you know they're all members of Earthern Hall, do you actually think you can take Pierce?" Theodore continued forward with a calm expression. "I planned to kill you too at first. Now I'm just taking Pierce. Also, these people are no match for me." Felix frowned. This man did not seem to be bluffing. "Well,

"What's this Sacred Martial Order thing?" Felix asked.Theodore's expression turned strange. Was Felix really that extraordinary? How could he not know about the Sacred Martial Order? "Felix, the Sacred Martial Order comes from Martial Alliance! Only families or sects who are part of the Martial Alliance Council can possess one." Felix frowned. He had only heard of Martial Alliance once, and it was during Jaden's phone call. "What exactly is Martial Alliance?" "Martial Alliance is an organization recognized by the state. It's jointly established by top martial arts sects and ancient martial families to govern all practitioners in Dragonia. Going against Martial Alliance would mean opposing every martial artist in Dragonia," Vivian explained.That was quite the authority. To say such an organization was filled with martial arts masters would be no exaggeration. Felix had more questions but knew this was not the time. He turned to Theodore instead. "Call Andrei. I have one ques

Yvonne was getting married? Felix was stunned to hear this news. This was completely unexpected and seemed impossible. "Are you sure?" Clearly, George was just as confused. "You had no idea? If that's the case, I think I know what's happening now, Felix! You and Yvonne got together without Lady Nala's permission, right?" Felix's expression darkened. For a moment, he did not know what to say. "Forget I mentioned it." From what George knew about Nala, he knew who controlled Yvonne's fate. Being married off was nothing; it would not even be surprising if she lost her life. "When is she getting married? To whom?" Felix asked.After hesitating, George replied, "She'll be married in about 20 days to a young heir of the Walsh family from Aleshire. They control most of Dragonia's shipping business. Whatever Lady Nala's planning, it must involve significant interests or she wouldn't marry off Yvonne. "Everyone knows Yvonne's practically her personal assistant and is almost like her

Andrei always aimed for the safest approach in everything he did. When it came to dealing with Felix, Pierce was just one piece of the puzzle, and there was a backup plan that even Theodore was unaware of. "Dad! My… my legs are ruined! You have to kill Felix. You have to kill him!" Pierce cried.Andrei crouched down and gently stroked his cheek. "Don't worry. I'll definitely avenge you. For now, rest and focus on your recovery," Andrei said.Andrei's assurances comforted Pierce. After all, he believed Felix could not be a match for his father.Theodore asked, "Mr. Hawkins Senior, do you still plan to continue?" Andrei furrowed his brow before responding, "The Dragon Alliance's involvement was unexpected. Stopping now would indeed be a good choice, but I promised Perry that I wouldn't back down unless the odds were massively against us." Theodore remained silent. After all, everything was Andrei's call, and his own role was simply to advise.Andrei asked, "Can we find out what

Felix's expression turned strange as he contemplated the situation. Earlier, George had turned from enemy to friend because of Moonshadow Alliance, and any sensible person would know George would need Felix's help eventually. However, Ryan was different. He definitely did not know about Felix's connection to Moonshadow Alliance. Even if he did, given his much higher status than George, he would not actively try to curry favor. As he thought about it, Felix could not help but feel amused.Ryan laughed, seemingly aware of Felix's doubts. "What? Don't believe me? Treating kids should be routine as a doctor, but you're different. You sacrificed all your reputation without hesitation."Honestly, while I might seem carefree, I know when to respect people and their actions. You saved over a dozen orphans last time and put yourself on the line—that's worthy of this!" As he spoke, he gave a thumbs up. Felix was speechless as he looked at Ryan's genuine expression. There was not a

Setting aside everything else, everyone knew Gerald's apprentice would need to have exceptional medical skills. At his young age, Felix had never met anyone else who could claim the title of master healer, which made it too easy to spot an imposter. However, someone of Ryan's status did not seem like they would be easily fooled. So, Felix asked, "Do you know Dr. Hoffman's apprentice?" Ryan shook his head again. "No, but I can take you to meet him. It'll be up to you to make an impression because they won't do it as a favor to me. "All I can do is tell them how you risked everything to save those kids. With a healer's compassionate heart and seeing how many master healers support you, I believe Dr. Hoffman's apprentice might be moved too."Felix finally understood that Ryan had also been deceived. For the sake of Gerald's reputation, Felix knew he had to meet this impostor."Alright, I'll go with you," Felix agreed.Ryan stood up and waved dismissively. "I'll let you know when.

"Yvonne, it's me, Felix—" Felix barely got the words out before the call disconnected. His expression turned tensed as he realized Yvonne had no intention of keeping contact."What happened? Did she hang up?" Jack asked.When Felix nodded, Jack quickly tried calling back, only to hear that the number was no longer in service. Jack's face instantly turned pale, and he grumbled, "Damn it! If I'd known this would happen, I wouldn't have let you use my phone. Now Ms. Cooper's blocked me too!"Felix looked embarrassed. "My bad, but it won't affect your work." Jack took an angry bite of his breakfast, clearly annoyed. While he knew it would not impact his work, he had to find other ways to contact Yvonne.… Two days passed quickly, with Felix maintaining his strict four-hour daily refining of the ancient dragon's spine. That morning, he opened his eyes and nearly jumped out of his skin. "Averill! This isn't funny!" Felix exclaimed, finding Averill lying beside him as she stared a

Two hours later, Felix was officially working for a local food delivery company in Notura City. The restaurant called out, "Delivery order number 19, ready for pickup."Since the city was famous for its unique cuisine, the local delivery services were far more dominant than Uber Eats or any national competitors, making it an easy choice."Alright. Thank you." Grabbing the takeout order, Felix packed it into the insulated carrier and hopped onto his electric scooter. Thanks to Yadiel pulling some strings, his account was set up so that he would only receive orders going to hotels and motels—everything else was blocked.Wearing his helmet and riding through the streets, Felix felt an unusual sense of peace. Ever since he had left the mountain, he had been constantly on the move, but now, blending into ordinary life like this felt strangely refreshing.He mumbled, "I wonder how that fatso is doing in Martial City, looking for the Phaeron Codex."Felix did not believe for a second t

"No need, Mr. Zeller. Since Ms. Jamison sent me here, your business is my business," Yadiel said smoothly.Felix frowned. "I wasn't asking you. Give me your account number.""Son of a—" Yadiel silently cursed, biting back his irritation. His patience had limits, but he decided it was not worth the argument. With a sigh, he rattled off the numbers.Felix tapped away on his phone, and a moment later, Yadiel's own device buzzed. He glanced at the screen and saw a deposit notification—five million dollars."Mr. Zeller, what's this for?" he asked.Felix answered casually, "That G-Wagon parked in the alley is yours, right? Five million dollars should be more than enough to upgrade to a G63. Go get yourself a new one."Yadiel was not entirely sure what Felix was playing at, but he had to admit that this level of generosity did make him feel a little better. Now that was more like it. Eunice didn't have total leverage over him, after all. Business should be a two-way street—that was ju

Draco saw his opportunity and jumped at it, eagerly pointing at Felix. He said, "Mr. Doyle! I happened to find out that this punk offended you, so I took the liberty of capturing him and waiting for your orders."Eddy stood there in complete shock, his confidence crumbling into dust. He had assumed Felix's bold spending and unwavering composure meant he had powerful backing, but if he had pissed off Yadiel, then no one could save him now."Shit! Please don't drag me down with you," he silently prayed.Yadiel's expression twitched with something unreadable as he stepped closer to Draco. He growled, "So, what you're saying is… I should be thanking you?"Draco's spine nearly folded in half as he bowed even lower. "Oh, no, Mr. Doyle, not at all! It's my honor to be of service to you."Yadiel had half a mind to slap him, but even that felt like a waste of effort. Instead, he asked Felix, "Mr. Zeller, how would you like to handle this?"Of course, Yadiel had been sent by Eunice. Otherw

Suzie felt like crying but had no tears left. She was terrified of completely disappointing Felix. She had just been pulled out of one hellhole, only to walk straight into another. How was that any different from being a complete idiot?Draco had not even bothered to gag her, which meant he did not care if she told the truth. This was his territory—his word was the only one that mattered.Felix barely glanced at the contract before saying, "So, you really think I'm just some rich fool, huh? Too bad—if you had just taken your winnings and enjoyed yourself, you could've made a solid profit, but instead, you just had to push me into handling this another way."Draco's smile disappeared. "Listen, kid! If you had real connections, you would've used them by now, and as for throwing away half a million dollars? My patience isn't unlimited—either you put down two million dollars and walk out of here with Suzie, or you get lost. "From now on, I will decide her future. Pick one."Felix sho

Felix had not planned on responding at first. After all, what he did back then was just a spur-of-the-moment decision—he never expected any kind of reward or follow-up.Nonetheless, now that an A-tier Malevolent Phantom was in the picture, it seemed that Eunice might actually come in handy. So, he asked, "You're probably someone with status here in Notura City, right?" Eunice froze for a moment before quickly responding with sincerity, "I'd say I have some influence, but if you need something, I'll do everything I can to help."Felix replied, "I'm Felix Zeller."Hearing his name, Eunice could not help but feel a little excited. This had never happened before—men were always the ones approaching her first, but this time, the roles were completely reversed.Felix added, "If you want to repay me, it's really simple. Do you know any big shots in Notura City's underground scene?"The underground scene? Eunice's mind went blank for a second. She felt like Felix was not playing by any

Felix thought Milo's explanation made sense. They chatted for a little while longer before Milo left Notura City.After she was gone, Felix sat at home, deep in thought. Since the Malevolent Phantoms's hunting ground was clearly hotels, maybe Eddy could actually be useful. Felix could not be everywhere at once, and without any pattern to the Malevolent Phantoms's hotel selection—even small motels had been targeted—there were simply too many places to cover.He mumbled, "It looks like it's time to implement my plan. I need a job that allows me to work in hotels."The only job that came to mind was food delivery. Delivery drivers had access to hotels, motels, and inns across the city without raising suspicion.Just as Felix was stepping out, his phone buzzed with a call from an unknown number. Confused, he answered."Hello, sir," said the voice on the other end. "This is about the payment you made last night at the barbecue stand. There seems to be an issue. Could you come by for

Eddy froze, completely thrown off by the question. However, he did not dare delay, quickly responding, "Mr. Bennett, wasn't it half a million dollars?"Draco let out a cold snort. "Pathetic. You're so short-sighted. I know exactly what happened."That stranger forked over half a million to buy Suzie's freedom—someone willing to pay that much without hesitation definitely has more. And you just handed over the contract without trying to squeeze a single extra dime out of him? What a damn waste."So that was what this was about. Eddy was even more confused now—if they demanded more, he figured Felix would realize what they were doing. Plus, Suzie knew the exact amount of the debt."Tomorrow, take some guys and bring Suzie back," Draco ordered, his tone sharp. "That kid's a walking goldmine. I want to see how much more we can milk out of that rich idiot."Eddy's stomach twisted with unease. Summoning some courage, he said, "Mr. Bennett, that guy dropped half a million without blinkin

As soon as Milo left, Suzie hesitated for a moment before speaking nervously. "I'm sorry, sir. Did I make your girlfriend misunderstand? I can explain everything to her if you want."She had only caught a few glimpses of Milo but already felt completely out of place. With that kind of beauty and presence, Milo was the kind of woman who could leave others breathless—maybe only someone like her was truly worthy of a good man like Felix.Felix replied, "It's fine. Besides, she's not my girlfriend."A few minutes later, the guy with Eddy showed up, perfectly embodying the phrase "money talks". His eager, bootlicking smile was not fake—it was the real deal."Sir, is Suzie refusing to cooperate?" he asked, shooting Suzie a nasty glare. If Felix had not been there, he probably would have gone straight to roughing her up.Felix replied, "No. Suzie told me she owes you guys money. With the interest, it's up to half a million now, right? I already paid 200 thousand—I'll cover the remaining
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1137
Felix was irritated—after all, who would not be with a gun pointed at their head? Of course, for most people, the feeling would be sheer terror.Still, he did not act recklessly. In Dragonia, guns were mostly carried by law enforcement, and he did not want to risk harming an undercover officer by mistake. To his surprise, the person holding the gun was Milo. He remembered her well from the days of the Martial Arts Competition—she was a close friend of Ronan's.He blurted out, "Milo?"Milo closed the door and lowered the gun, her expression as calm as ever. She wore simple jeans and a T-shirt, and the sword she was once known for was nowhere in sight."Never thought our first meeting after your return would be under circumstances like this," he added.Once Milo confirmed that it was Felix, she let out a small sigh and stated, "Ronan—" Felix raised a hand to cut her off. "Don't worry about Ronan. I promise he'll come back safe in a year. He's with my sister now. Other than losin
