Felix rolled his eyes but decided to speak honestly.He said, "It was a woman of unimaginable beauty. She was truly indescribable! A woman like that doesn't exist in the real world. She's something that would only appear in a dream."He found himself recalling those images again. They were just so vivid. And that woman—she was the only one he could call perfect."Well, I guess you must have enjoyed it very much." Averill scoffed. "Goodbye."Even long after Averill had left, Felix was still sitting on the bed, murmuring to himself, "Could a woman like that actually exist in real life?"…Meanwhile, atop a remote mountain in Dragonia, stood an opulent building. It was the headquarters of the Martial Alliance. Inside one of its rooms, four individuals were seated when Vivian entered."Mr. Lawrence, you called for me?" she asked, taking a seat unceremoniously. Her face showed no expression. After all, according to Felix, she couldn't let the prestige of Dragon Alliance be diminished

A woman stepped in gracefully, dressed in a wine-red dress with a high slit. She exuded elegance and beauty."How dare you trespass in the Martial Alliance?" "'Trespass'?" the woman replied with a hint of displeasure. "The guards didn't even detect my presence. How could it be trespassing?"Everyone in the room—except Titus—looked visibly shaken. This was the headquarters of the Martial Alliance, and yet someone had managed to slip in undetected. It was a huge embarrassment.Samuel pointed angrily at Vivian. "Vivian! Your Dragon Alliance is flaunting its strength here. Do you want a war with the Martial Alliance?""How dare you!" The woman raised an eyebrow, and with just a word, Samuel staggered backward a few steps, a muffled thud accompanying his retreat.Even Titus frowned at this sudden display. The newcomer's strength was no joke. Without even lifting a finger, her mere presence had overpowered Samuel."The Dragon Lord's title is not something you're qualified to invoke s

"Do not meddle with Felix anymore, Andrei! Dragon Alliance is rising again," Samuel said over the phone."As you command."In the Hawkins residence in Canraville, Andrei hung up, shaking his head with a faint smile."What's going on, Mr. Hawkins?" Theodore asked.Walking over to the window, Andrei replied, "The elder said that Dragon Alliance is on the rise again and that I should stop provoking Felix."The rise of the Dragon Alliance? Theodore's brows furrowed as he considered this, a hint of astonishment crossing his eyes. "Could it be that the founder has reappeared?""I don't know, but if the elder is saying this, then Dragon Alliance's resurgence is inevitable. At least I did my best. Perry would understand in the afterlife and wouldn't blame me," Andrei said, turning to Theodore."Warn Pierce to let go of any hatred toward Felix. If he tries any tricks secretly, he'll pay for it. I tolerated him taking his mother's surname once, but there won't be a second time.""Yes,

"Oh?" Felix chuckled. After dealing with Inferno Clan, yet another person was targeting him through an assassin organization—probably someone without much sense. The irony was that Flair had been created by Averill, making this whole setup a perfect case of a lamb to the slaughter."Who made the order?" he asked."A man named Pierce Langden. He's from Canraville."Felix raised his hand. "I know who he is. I'll handle this myself."Seven nodded, waiting patiently for Felix's main instructions."It's about the Thirteen Aces, which are Dragonia's S-rank wanted criminals. Find me the twelfth one, Sonny Balcom, code-named 'Circle of Hearts.' Track him down for me."With its intelligence network, Flair's assassin organization was well-equipped to find targets better than most other organizations."Yes, sir."The thought of falling for their trap still bothered Felix immensely. He continued, "You're connected with Shadownet overseas, aren't you?"Seven nodded. "Yes, Mr. Zeller. Do

Meanwhile, at the Hawkins residence in Canraville, Andrei was hosting an important guest. It was the president of the Lionsfield Chamber of Commerce, Fabian Fraser. Only those who understood the Lionsfield Chamber of Commerce's influence could truly appreciate Fabian's significance."Mr. Hawkins, this study of yours is exquisite," Fabian remarked, admiring the surroundings with a glint of appreciation in his eyes. "Introduce me to the designer later. I'd like to have something similar in my own home."Andrei smiled. "Consider it done, Mr. Fraser. It's a minor favor."Fabian nodded, transitioning to the main topic. "I'm passing through Canraville, and given the high value of the items in the upcoming shipment, I wanted to confirm the arrangement of martial artists and security teams with you personally."Andrei chuckled. "There's nothing for you to worry about. Haven't we partnered enough times already? If you can't trust me, surely you can trust my family's strength."Fabian grinn

Felix raised his hand, signaling the Earthen Hall members to stand down as he calmly looked at Theodore, who was now only inches away."No. You're the one who crossed the line," Felix replied. "I respect your loyalty, but that doesn't change anything."Terrified, Andrei quickly intervened, "Theodore, stand down! Don't mess around!"It was no joke. Even the members of the Martial Alliance Council from his family acknowledged that the resurgence of Dragon Alliance was unstoppable. Andrei did not dare to make them his enemies. If anything happened to Felix, his family would undoubtedly abandon him, and someone else would soon take his place as the wealthiest man in Canraville."If anything happens to Mr. Hawkins, I'll kill you," Theodore threatened, his eyes filled with icy determination.Felix merely scoffed at Theodore's threat. In the past, he could have ended his life with a single slap."You're Theodore Walker, right? For that statement alone, your fate is sealed," Felix said

Opportunities didn't just fall from the sky. Felix's care for a woman Andrei had never met clearly had deeper reasons. Once Andrei learned that Felix treated Michelle like his own sister, he immediately instructed one of his sons to pursue her. His son had a knack for wooing women. His skills were so refined that he could charm the daughters of many wealthy families even without relying on his background as the son of the wealthiest man in town. Hence, Michelle, an ordinary girl, was no challenge for him.Returning to the study, Andrei noticed Fabian frowning, and he could guess what was on his mind."Mr. Fraser, are you curious about that young man's identity?"Fabian nodded. "Yes. I saw the whole thing. How could I ignore someone who made you so afraid? We old-timers fear nothing more than these low-profile figures. Messing with them could spell sudden doom."Andrei sighed bitterly. Fabian had encountered Felix by chance. He, on the other hand, had jumped in willingly. Fortunat

Even Sonny was driven to desperation by Felix's billion-dollar bounty. He probably never imagined that Felix would spend a hundred billion dollars just to find him. It was such an astronomical sum. Even the people who had successful careers couldn't earn such an amount in a lifetime. Yet, Felix used that amount without hesitation, not for investment but simply to locate a single person. The saying "money made the world go round" had held true across the ages.With such a high reward, many people would go crazy trying to claim it. Even if Sonny could disguise himself and hide in remote mountains, bounty hunters might track him down. So, he had to eliminate the threat at its root.However, Felix remained calm and even laughed. "Really? My weakness? Sonny, you're overestimating yourself."Sonny thought that Felix would not react. "Well, don't be too confident. As I understand it, you're alone right now, but isn't there someone named Jack? He's been your good friend for many years.

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
