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 ten 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. If he

Felix took a few steps forward and sat in a chair, finally speaking, "You know I'm the apprentice of the miracle doctor, right?"Although Sonny didn't respond, his expression left no doubt that he was indeed part of the Elders' Council."It's a pity, isn't it? You're one of the Thirteen Aces, yet you've been made a fool. Did the Elders' Council ever tell you that the miracle doctor has ten apprentices, and I'm only one of them?"What? Sonny's eyes widened in shock as he heard that. "No wonder your friend Jack had such a skilled guard!"With a self-deprecating chuckle, Sonny shook his head. "What can I do? Even if you're the best in the world, can you really say you fear nothing? Either way, it's better to fall at the hands of the miracle doctor's apprentice. At least I wouldn't be killed by a woman like the God of Death was."The God of Death? Felix's expression turned strange."Oh, the God of Death. For some reason, I spared him last time and only left him badly injured. Wel

Alistair was stunned. Felix had only mentioned that he had something extremely important to discuss with Xena. However, he didn't mention what it was about.Hearing that it was about Sonny, Alistair was utterly shocked. Sonny was no ordinary person. Among the Thirteen Aces on the list of Super S-rank wanted criminals, none were ordinary characters. And now, one was inside the building?Similarly, Xena turned around abruptly, staring at Felix. "Do you know what you're saying?"Felix nodded. "I do, and I wouldn't joke with you about something like this."With that, he took the lead and went inside, seemingly not caring about whether Xena would follow.Biting her lip, Xena eventually walked in, glaring at Alistair. "Why didn't you say anything sooner?"Alistair looked helpless. "What could I say? I didn't know anything, either."Once inside, they saw Sonny sitting on the floor, and both drew deep breaths.Who would have thought that after so many years of manhunts and deploying

"Felix, you really do everything quietly. I already know about the situation at the orphanage. I didn't dare tell Sherlyn. She would definitely have cried her heart out," Ernest said. He patted Felix on the shoulder."Now that I see you're as healthy as they say, even if you've lost your martial skills, I'm finally a bit relieved. You won't blame me for not calling, will you?"Felix chuckled. "Listen to you, sir. It's not that big a deal. Keeping it from Sherlyn was a wise choice."Experienced, Ernest quickly understood what Felix meant.When the dishes were served, Jairo also joined them at the table. The four shared a cheerful meal."Ahem! Grandpa, did you forget something?" Halfway through the conversation, Sherlyn interrupted Ernest with a playful look. He quickly changed the topic. "Felix, tomorrow is my birthday. You must come to the party."A birthday for someone Ernest's age was certainly worth celebrating."I wouldn't miss it for the world! I'll definitely be there!
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection   Chapter 433
The next moment, a voice from outside reached everyone's ears. "Mr. Holt Senior, I apologize for the abrupt visit. It's Silas."Ernest glanced at Jairo."Aren't you familiar with Silas? Why all that fuss?"Jairo smiled wryly. He just wanted to be certain. He muttered as he headed for the door, "Silas always has to make an entrance, doesn't he?"Realizing it was a false alarm, Felix left the table. Despite everything, Silas was a senior who had even saved him once, so proper etiquette was necessary.It was normal for someone of Ernest's status to know Silas.When Silas entered and saw Felix, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes visible beneath his mask."How would you have time to visit an old man like me? Have you eaten? Come and join us."Only after Ernest spoke did Silas reply, saying, "I've already eaten. I came to discuss something with you, Mr. Holt Senior. Is it a good time?""Let's go."The two went upstairs, and Sherlyn called Felix back to continue eating.About t

When Eira and Luigi saw that Felix was determined to go through with it, they moved instantly. Appearing right in front of him, they dropped to their knees."Please, Felix! For the sake of all those innocent lives, stop.""If you're really set on taking this flame, then kill us first."Seeing the two of them so resolute, Felix hesitated. The lives of hundreds of thousandsâmaybe even millionsânow hung in the balance, all dependent on one decision from him."I haven't known you for long," Eira continued. "But from the way you avenged the 200 people of Innswood Village, I know you're not someone who kills without reason. You'd never turn a blind eye to the lives of ordinary people. "Please show them mercy. They've already suffered enough."Tears streamed down her face. The purpose of The Recovery Association was clearâoverthrow the Flame Monarch, destroy the Nine Flames, and return Aquamarinus to what it once was. However, when it came to principles and morals, they were unwaveri
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection   Chapter 1556
Felix thought that Gerald's advice really was spot-on. If he hadn't achieved Extreme Mastery, he could still beat the Flame Monarch. However, his subsequent journey would have been difficult. Winning first place in the Rank-Ascending Competition to protect Earth would've been almost impossible.With a casual wave of Felix's hand, the Flame Monarch collapsed to the ground. Thankfully, no one was around to see it. Otherwise, they'd have been scared out of their minds.The most powerful being on Aquamarinus, the Flame Monarch, just got instantly wiped out by Felix. To Felix, it was like crushing an ant and required no effort at all."It's time to complete the mission," Felix said.Just like that, he vanished. His speed was insane because Nine Flames were all scattered far apart. Since travel was banned at night, he couldn't afford to waste even a second.Honestly, he was curious what it would be like to go out at night. However, after thinking it over, he decided it just wasn't worth

Under the sunlight, Innswood Village looked even lonelier. If it weren't for Felix standing in the open field, the place would've looked like a dead town. Soon, a sound broke through the silent air. A person stood 30 feet in front of Felix. It was the Flame Monarch, whom Felix had met once."I really thought you were a member of The Recovery Association and that you'd laid a trap here. But it turns out, you're really alone."Felix replied, "I am a member of The Recovery Association, but why do I need a trap to kill you?"Oh? A member of The Recovery Association? The Flame Monarch smiled. "You're really brave, you know. You're the first person in Aquamarinus who dares to face me like this. Even the leader of The Recovery Association had been in seclusion, trying to reach Heavenly Realm before facing me."I don't know where you get your confidence from."Initially, Felix wanted to attack immediately. But he still had questions to ask. "There are only the two of us here. Sinc

The next morning, Felix rushed back to Innswood Village. Just as he arrived, the Flame Monarch brought people to the Green King's Manor."Joaquin is dead?"The Green King quickly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty. The content of my letter is true. I wonder if you still remember that doctor, Felix Zeller?"The Flame Monarch rubbed his chin, and a man appeared in his mind. "Of course, I do!" Then, he burst into laughter. "I didn't expect him to hide so much strength that you aren't even worthy of being his opponent."The Green King looked a little unwilling. "We only exchanged a few moves. If it had been a true fight, the winner would be uncertain. I only let him go because I was worried the entire Cloud City would be affected."A smile appeared on the Flame Monarch's face. He seemed to find this amusing. "How interesting. A doctor suddenly seemed to have gained the strength of an Earthly Realm martial artist. It seems like he has a lot of secrets!"Are you sure he went back to Innswood
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection   Chapter 1553
No one dared to stop Felix from leaving. After all, they all saw how Joaquin died. If the Green King didn't make a move, who else could?Everyone in the yard stayed silent even after Felix disappeared, especially the Green King. He couldn't believe that a doctor had surpassed even himself! That was simply incredible!He was in Earthly Realm. How many people on Aquamarinus had even reached Earthly Realm? Taking Felix's age into account, it was simply unbelievable."Your ExcellencyâĶ" Dave spoke up first, and the Green King immediately snapped back into reality. He walked out with a dark expression without another word."Dad, is there a chance that Felix can survive?" Ginny suddenly asked. Gras shook his head with a bitter smile. "I don't knowâĶ At their level, it'll be like a fight between gods. Let's head back."A fight between gods? Ginny sighed. That truly seemed to be the case. Who could've thought that Felix was this amazing?âĶAs night fell, Felix was in a room of an inn
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection   Chapter 1552
Gras and the rest breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed like the Green King intended to protect Felix. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked such a question. After all, it all happened in Innswood Village, with no eyewitnesses.As long as Felix denied it, it would be impossible to trace. However, Felix nodded. "Yeah, I killed Caesar. He massacred over 200 people in Innswood Village. Doesn't he deserve to die?"The answer caught everyone off guard, but Joaquin gritted his teeth in anger. "How brave of you to admit it!"To be honest, even he wasn't expecting Felix to admit it. Everyone had clearly heard it, so it would be impossible for him to argue.The Green King looked helpless. Was Felix just incredibly stubborn? It was clear he was trying to help. Could Felix not see it?"Dave, take Felix away! We'll wait for the Flame Monarch to decide his fate."A member of the Royal Guards had been killed, and Felix admitted to killing him. No matter what strength Felix had hidden, it was no l
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection   Chapter 1551
Ginny's face was full of disbelief. Just then, everything clicked. She finally understood how Felix came back alive.He had simply hidden his strength. Were there people who practiced both medicine and martial arts? Of course, there were, but there were only a few. And most of them could only excel in one aspect, yet Felix was great in both.The Transcendent Realm martial artists were killed without even reaching Felix. This meant that Felix was at least in Grandmaster Realm. Now, the possibility of Caesar being dead grew much higher.Joaquin, who had been writhing on the ground, almost forgot his pain. He never thought that a mere doctor could be a terrifying martial artist. Why did the Goldsteins mess with someone like this?"Dr. Zeller, you've already killed my sonâĶ Please spare the GoldsteinsâĶ" Joaquin lowered his head in reverence. There was no other way. He still had his wife and children. He couldn't sacrifice everything."Do you feel the pain now? Caesar slaughtered over
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection   Chapter 1550
Gras's and Ryker's expressions were full of confusion. It looked as if they had seen a ghost. After all, Felix should've died against Caesar, yet he was here, standing by them, and alive!The half-dead messenger really wanted to thank Felix right now. He didn't lie!As Joaquin came back to reality, his panic dissipated. He turned to Felix unwillingly and said, "Humph! What kind of trick did you play on Caesar for him to let you come back alive?"Felix just looked at Joaquin. "Oh? That's what you think?"Joaquin snorted coldly, his eyes full of pride. "Nonsense! Of course! Did my son ask you to apologize to me first before deciding how to deal with you? If that's the case, then I support him as his father."Kneel. Kneel and apologize. Then, you can think about how to appease me."Felix burst out laughing, shaking his head. "You truly have an indescribable confidence in your son, Joaquin. Let me tell you the truth. Caesar has committed great crimes, and I've sent him on his way. I
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection   Chapter 1549
Joaquin slapped the messenger to the ground while shouting, "Bullshit! Felix is a dead man. How could he come back on horseback? If you dare spew nonsense again, I'll cut off your tongue!"The messenger was terrified, quickly covering his face in fear. However, he still muttered, "But several people saw him. It was FelixâĶ"Joaquin was so angry that he went straight up to the messenger and beat him up. Gras, Ginny, and Ryker turned to look at one another. To be honest, they couldn't believe it, either. Even if what the messenger said was true, it was still odd.After all, Felix went against Caesar, who was a martial artist in the Grandmaster Realm. How could he survive that? At the same time, in the Green King Manor, Dave came rushing into the yard, where the Green King was admiring the flowers."Your Excellency, I just got the report that Felix has entered the city."The Green King held a beautiful flower, admiring it without a care. His expression didn't change much despite the
