The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1
"Averill, I can assure you, your cycle is perfectly normal."In the courtyard of Tranquil Clinic in Eden Village, Felix Zeller slowly lifted his right hand with a look of helplessness.Before him stood six beautiful women, each with a unique charm. They were smiling as they patiently waited in line."But Felix, I don't feel well. Why don't you come to my room and do a thorough checkup?" Averill Davis said suggestively.Felix smiled wryly.Ever since his mentor, Gerald Hoffman, brought him to this village three years ago, he had faced constant teasing from these women, his fellow apprentices.Although he had gotten used to it, it was still tough to handle, especially when they were so alluring."Averill, don't push your luck.""Exactly! It's my turn now. Step aside. Don't even dream about having Felix all by yourself."As Leslie Brown sat in front of him, Felix sighed and pleaded, "Please, can't you all be more like Eloise, Dahlia, and Karina? Focus on your training and stop wa

By the time Felix stepped out of his room, everyone was already gone. With his departure, his fellow apprentices likely wouldn't stay in Eden Village either.Thinking about it made Felix fume. Three years ago, Gerald had brought him here and then disappeared without a trace. It was utterly irresponsible of him.The sounds of knocking pulled Felix from his thoughts.He looked up to see several unfamiliar faces standing at the courtyard gate. Even though the gate was open, they hadn't entered, showing some degree of politeness.Felix walked over and noticed a few Mercedes G-Wagons parked outside the clinic. Evidently, these were wealthy individuals."Excuse me. Is the miracle doctor here?" asked a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses, looking very refined. His name was Vincent Kinsley."The miracle doctor left this place almost three years ago."Vincent's face fell. The miracle doctor was a legend in Dragonia's medical world. He was their last hope, and now, he was gone.Besi

While Xena loved Curtis dearly and had tried every means to cure him, a troubling thought crept into her mind: she hoped he wouldn't wake up at this moment.That was because Felix was insufferable. Not only was he useless, but he also dared to act superior in front of a goddess of war like her. He clearly had no idea who he was dealing with.Felix didn't respond to her condescending remarks. Instead, he rushed over to check Curtis' pulse, his expression growing serious. "It's the Phantom Poison. No wonder."Xena frowned. "Are you saying Grandpa's been poisoned?""That's right. It's the most potent Phantom Poison there is. If it had been detected earlier, I could have neutralized it immediately. But it's been over a year, and it has become more complicated."We need some rare herbs to treat it. Thankfully, the master healers you contacted did a decent job. Though they couldn't remove the poison, they managed to keep him alive."Xena's expression twisted with a mix of emotions. "Lo

"Please, Dr. Fielding! Save my father. I'll give anything!" Vincent pleaded desperately.Bernard's life was crucial for the family, and as his son, Vincent was willing to do whatever it took.Xander sighed. "Your father will not make it through the night. But since I'm here, you have another option. I can extend his life by a month. Decide quickly."Before Vincent could respond, Bernard croaked out with great struggle, "D-Do it."Vincent quickly agreed. Prolonging Bernard's life for a month was better than losing him now.Meanwhile, Wendy had slipped out of the room, looking visibly torn as she held her phone. She remembered the phone number Felix had given them earlier that day due to her sharp memory."Grandpa, I'll do anything for you," she murmured, her face set with determination.…At a certain residential area in Avesburgh, Felix stood in front of a three-story villa, feeling a mix of emotions. It had been three years since he last saw Warren Quinton.Warren had been hi
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 5
The Quintons turned to Felix, each with different emotions. Warren felt an inexplicable excitement, whereas Nattie's and Sasha's faces were full of contempt."Felix, you've really learned a thing or two in the past three years," Nattie remarked, her tone dripping with sarcasm despite the seemingly complimentary words."A Rolls-Royce? Felix, you're amazing. I bet a helicopter will come pick you up the next time," Sasha chimed in with blatant mockery."Uncle Warren, I'll visit you again," Felix said, ignoring their words. He had more pressing matters, as the person with the Miracle Card required immediate aid.As Warren saw Felix out, Nattie and Sasha reluctantly followed. Their expressions shifted slightly upon seeing the Rolls-Royce Phantom parked at the gate, but they remained unimpressed."Are you Mr. Felix Zeller?" asked a man in a tailored suit and white gloves. He was Marco Jensen, the Kinsley family's chauffeur.Upon Felix's confirmation, Marco opened the car door for him a

Although Wendy and Vincent might not have understood the full extent of what was happening, the sight of the arrogant Xander sprawled on the floor in shock made them realize Felix was the real deal."Remove the needles in an hour. Your grandfather will wake up tomorrow fully recovered," Felix stated before turning to leave.He was here solely to fulfill Gerald's duty concerning the Miracle Card."Pierce of Trinity… My God, I can't believe I witnessed the Pierce of Trinity."Snapping back to reality, Vincent quickly nudged Wendy. "Go after him!"Then, he helped Xander to his feet and asked, "What's the Pierce of Trinity?""It's one of the most miraculous acupuncture techniques in traditional medicine," Xander explained instinctively. "The Pierce of Trinity can cure most ailments. Though it has been passed down, very few can perform it. I've practiced for five years and still haven't mastered it."Reflecting on Bernard's condition and the placement of the three needles, Xander h

Felix turned and saw Sasha.Just his luck.He didn't want to argue with her, but he decided to say, "Sasha, you don't have to worry about what your father said. There's no future between us. I'll break the news to him in a month."Sasha chuckled. "At least you're self-aware. That saves me the trouble. You'd better stick to your words, or you'll regret it when I do it my way."Ruth chimed in, "You might not know how popular Sasha is now. She has more admirers than she can count, and many of them are from wealthy families. You're no match."Then, she glanced at the tail lights of the disappearing Rolls-Royce Phantom. "Renting a fancy car might change your appearance, but it won't change who you are inside."Felix nodded, relieved Sasha wasn't pursuing him. He never liked her, not three years ago, and certainly not now. Her family's company's success had only made her more arrogant and superficial.As Felix headed into Luxe Dining, Sasha scowled, and her disdain became evident. "Ar

"Alas, it was partly my fault. He simply looked too young. Before treating Mr. Kinsley Senior, we had a bit of a disagreement, so I didn't manage to get his contact."Xena understood where Xander was coming from and couldn't blame him.No one would believe it when a young man claimed his medical skills were superior to Xander's, one of the top ten healers in the country."Thank you, Dr. Fielding. I'll follow up with the Kinsley family."Some hope was better than none. Compared to the elusive miracle doctor, Xena thought that the mysterious young man was undoubtedly worth pursuing.…Felix felt thoroughly satisfied as he left Luxe Dining. The food was delicious, justifying its high price.Just then, Warren called. Before leaving the Quinston villa, Felix had reluctantly given him his new contact information."Uncle Warren, what's up?""Felix, come stay at my place tonight."Felix tried to decline. "No, I—""Don't even try to fool me. I've known you since you were a kid. I can

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

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

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

"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

"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,

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

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

"You'll do it instead?" Averill sized up Zara, silently musing to herself. While Zara was a little ugly, Averill figured all that mattered was if she could save Felix's life. If Zara hadn't shown up, Averill would have done it, even though she cherished her own first time. After all, Felix's life was the most important.However, she had to admit Felix's charm. Zara might not be much to look at, but she was still a woman. Since she volunteered herself, it meant she was at least somewhat willing. What other reason could there be?"Don't get the wrong idea. I-I'm not suggesting anything like that!" Zara stammered, waving her hands as Averill stared at her. She figured that she'd gotten the wrong impression."What do you mean?""I mean, I have a special acupuncture technique that can remove the poison in Felix's body. However, I'd need you to get that other woman out of here first. The poison's coming from her, and if I try to block it, I won't be able to concentrate on the treatment

Felix looked surprised. "You know about Madam Spring?""Only by reputation. She's an old-school troublemaker you don't want to mess with. Good luck with that—I got what I came for, so I'm out," Averill replied, but as she stood up, she sensed something wrong and quickly turned to Felix. "Damn it! She was carrying poison!"Though Averill was not a medical expert, her heightened abilities allowed her to detect it. The fact that it took over a minute to notice meant this was no ordinary toxin.Sure enough, Felix was now grinning at her lustfully. "Averill, you like me, right? I'm feeling really hot and bothered right now." As Felix grabbed her and started kissing her wildly, Averill felt conflicted. "Stop it, Felix. You're poisoned! Try to fight it and see if you can neutralize it yourself."The woman's seductive entrance made the poison's purpose clear. When Felix looked up, Averill noticed his eyes were already bloodshot."What poison? Come on, Averill. Didn't you want to play la
