"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 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

Ernest couldn't say more at this point. Felix had to make the decision himself."Alright! Silas, I promise you that I will not contact Zara and won't speak to her even if we meet."Silas seemed visibly relieved, and he stood up. "Thank you. I hope you remember what you said today. Mr. Holt Senior is also a witness."Felix's mind was flooded with questions, but he knew that even if he asked, he wouldn't get any answers.But no matter what, he still owed Zara another favor. If she ever asked for anything, he would certainly repay her, and that wouldn't mean violating his promise to Silas.…While Felix was at Yardley Dining refining the Dragonspine, a major event occurred in Yartford. The upper echelons of society had received a piece of news.Ryan, one of the top suitors of Nala, unexpectedly withdrew from the competition.He had worked hard to be acknowledged by the other suitors, even boldly declaring that he would never give up as long as Nala remained unmarried. Who would ha

Yvonne, who had followed them in, was just as baffled. Normally, Nala wouldn't care about such matters. Whether there were new suitors or someone chose to withdraw from the competition, it was all insignificant to her.But this time, she had come in person to question it, which was surprising.Ryan was equally shocked. Nala's actions seemed beneath her stature, as if implying that he, a mere suitor, were important to her."Why are you interested in knowing my reason?" he asked.George looked on with curiosity. This was unprecedented."Why? Is it wrong to be interested? Just tell me if you're willing to," Nala replied.Frowning slightly, Ryan spoke up, "There's no real reason. I'm tired, and there are plenty of people better than me. My odds were always low, so stepping aside is only natural."He didn't dare mention Felix's identity as the student of the revered medical doctor. Only a fool would miss out on that kind of detail.From the gleam in Nala's eyes, it was clear that sh

In Canraville, after four hours of refining the Dragonspine, Felix drove his Range Rover away. After only a short distance, he was blocked by a Rolls-Royce Cullinan.Two people stepped out of the car. One was Aimee, Xena's cousin, and the other was an unfamiliar but handsome young man."Felix, get out!"Aimee gestured for him to step out. Seeing that Felix was ignoring her, she walked over and knocked on the window.Knowing that Aimee wouldn't give up, Felix rolled down the window. "Are you done yet?"Aimee glanced at Felix coldly. "Felix, are you a man or not? Do your words mean nothing? You said you have nothing to do with my cousin anymore, so why did you meet her again?"Felix found it amusing. Aimee was so full of herself that she dared to interfere with the goddess of war's business."That was the last we would meet."At this moment, the young man next to her spoke up, "My name is Finnley Walsh, eldest son of the Walsh family, which is one of Aleshire's most prominent fam

Wendy felt a warm happiness in her heart. Were she and Felix a perfect match? Even outsiders seemed to notice that.But when she saw the darkened expression on the young man's face, she realized the gravity of the situation."He's not my boyfriend. If he needs anything, he'll come and look himself.""Understood, Ms. Kinsley."The young man stepped closer, looking displeased. "Boyfriend? Wendy, do you think I, Dylan Fraser, am someone to be toyed with?"Wendy frowned."Dylan, I don't know how I've offended you. Even if I do have a boyfriend, what does that have to do with you?""What?"Taking a deep breath, Dylan sneered. "Fine. It has nothing to do with me, right? From now on, business between our families is over. That's the price for lying to me."Truth be told, Dylan was quite impressive in many ways and would have been a suitable match if he was not such a playboy. He was known for being a womanizer, and he didn't bother to hide it at all.Rumor had it that he was seeing

Jack glanced at Felix with a smirk and teased jokingly, "What else can I do? You made my relationship with the general manager hit rock bottom. I might have to run away now."Vanessa was speechless. She knew Felix was extraordinary, and only Jack would dare speak to him this way."Don't forget Maddy's engagement party the day after tomorrow. She asked me to remind you.""I promised her, so I'll definitely be there."Refining the Dragonspine was a top priority, but attending an event in Yartford wouldn't be a problem, either. If he went late at 4:00 am, began the training, and returned the next day, nothing would be delayed.After going to the restroom, Felix came back to find Jack suddenly pulling Vanessa to her feet."Sorry, Felix. We've got to go. Something came up."Felix was puzzled. "Do you need my help?"They had planned to have drinks, so them leaving abruptly made Felix concerned."There's nothing you can do. We're leaving!"Vanessa looked helpless and, with her strai

Felix ultimately arrived at the Wolfie troops' base, though he was quite hesitant and didn't even know why himself.He followed Alistair down to an underground room, where Xena was already present. Sonny was confined in a cell, looking haggard and clearly having endured some tough days, though it meant little for someone like him."Sonny, I'm here. You can speak now."Xena felt complicated. She was about to hear the truth. She would finally know whether there was a hidden story or if Felix truly was a coward.Sonny grinned, stood up, and slowly approached the iron bars, looking at Felix. "You're here."Suddenly, his hysterical laughter echoed through the underground space. "You really came. This woman, Xena, must mean a lot to you! But so what? You're here, and I was just toying with you. You tricked me once, so now, we're even."Felix was emotionless. He hadn't expected that Sonny summoned him just for this.Xena shook her head and turned to leave, but Alistair became anxious

The moment the topic came up, Felix's gaze flickered, avoiding direct eye contact. No matter how you put it, even though Xena would also benefit from it, it still felt somewhat unfair. It felt that way, especially since they weren't in a relationship. If they were married or at least dating, it wouldn't be an issue at all."I'm exhausted. I need another two days to rest," he said.Billy scoffed. "I know your soul energy is depleted, but trust me. Your fatigue will disappear instantly once your souls merge. The feeling is beyond words. I'm sure you've heard from the Malevolent Phantom how irresistible Soul Binding is, even for those who've already experienced love and passion."Wait, what? Felix was speechless. It seemed that there was really no way out of it."Oh, one last thing. After you and Xena… you know, your soul energy will be completely absorbed and stored away. That means you won't have any left to wield a soul-bound weapon or use any soul attacks. Are you sure you still

There was only one explanation—Felix really could heal soul damage."Of course, I healed him. Let me rest for a bit. Wake me up when the sun comes up."Felix was utterly exhausted. Even if an S-tier Malevolent Phantom appeared beside him, he couldn't be bothered to care. If Donna had truly wanted to kill him, she would have done it long ago. There was no reason for her to wait until now.As Donna watched Felix slip into a deep sleep almost instantly, her expression grew more complex.What kind of ridiculous joke was that? Even though Leonardo was a crossbreed, his soul had already inherited the traits of a Malevolent Phantom. While it wasn't exactly the same as a true Malevolent Phantom, the essence of his soul had changed.And yet, Felix had still managed to heal him. If word of this got out, it would shake the entire Malevolent Phantom world to its core.It was like finding out that some miracle doctor could cure any disease in the human world. People would go absolutely crazy.
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1361
Leonardo's body suddenly started convulsing, and with foam spilling from his mouth, even a fool could tell something had gone wrong.Damage to the soul was entirely different from physical injuries. If one got a cut, even without treatment, their body would eventually heal on its own. However, the soul wasn't like that. Any damage was permanent and had widespread consequences. Even if just a fraction of an inch of the soul was harmed, the physical reaction could be extreme.Felix let out a long breath. "Finally got it out. It sounds easy, but doing it was incredibly difficult. Even with my soul energy, I nearly couldn't hold on."The level of precision required to make such an impossibly fine cut was beyond imagination. To do it without causing any collateral damage would require soul energy beyond comprehension.Of course, Leonardo's soul had been damaged. There was no avoiding it."At least he's alive. You've done all you could," Donna said.However, Felix just smiled. "That'

At that moment, Felix turned to Norman. "Step outside and say the lines you've rehearsed. Then, I'll take your son with me. He'll be back by dawn."Norman was beyond relieved. If Leonardo could survive, nothing else mattered.He had long anticipated this day. Living on Earth, even if it wasn't intentional, he had killed more than one person. There was no way he'd be let off the hook.In the living room, Lina was in tears, bombarding him with questions, while Steve kept sighing heavily. No one could have imagined that a once-happy family would fall apart overnight."I'm taking Leonardo for treatment. I won't say it again."Seeing the scene unfold, Felix spoke up. With Norman's cooperation, things were going more smoothly. Since he had been assured that Leonardo would return safely, there was no reason for further resistance.The situation had to be handled strictly. There was no room for defiance.Just then, Xena arrived. She had actually been in Zuera since the day before but ha
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1359
Norman looked into Felix's eyes and knew there was no room for negotiation. He lowered his head in silence.Seeing this, Felix dialed Donna's number."What's up?" she asked."I found a crossbreed.""A crossbreed? Oh, you mean a hybrid? What about it?"Felix had no choice but to ask Donna for help. No matter how he looked at it, he also wanted to protect Leonardo."This crossbreed is only three years old and seems to have inherited a soul-related trait. He just killed someone out of pure instinct."Before Felix could finish, Donna had already guessed the situation. She let out a chuckle, her tone carrying a hint of eerie amusement. "Let me guess, you want to save the kid?"Felix didn't bother denying it. "That's right. I want to know if there's a way."After a long pause, Donna's voice came through again, "There is! But I can only assist. Since he's just three years old and hasn't developed much yet, I can mark the part of his soul that drives his instincts. "You'll need to
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1358
A trace of sweetness flickered in Norman's eyes, and he couldn't help but smile."Yeah, I never imagined it, either. Me, an A-tier Malevolent Phantom, actually falling in love with a human. I'm completely, hopelessly in love."Felix froze as he hadn't expected it to be true."You probably don't believe me. No other Malevolent Phantom would, either. But it's real. I truly love Lina. After experiencing what you humans call love, I was completely consumed by it. Maybe that's why, when we were together, our souls intertwined, and that's how Leonardo was born."Norman grew emotional as he spoke."Do you understand? When I realized that Leonardo had inherited the unique traits of a Malevolent Phantom's soul, I was overjoyed beyond words."But I regretted it instantly when I remembered where we were. Because it meant that if Norman was ever discovered, he would be in danger of being killed at any moment."And now, with your arrival today, I knew that moment had come. I just didn't expe

The existence of crossbreeds was classified as top secret by headquarters. If word got out, even if the general public remained unaware, just the knowledge reaching certain members within headquarters would cause mass panic.Would you dare to question whether your partner might be a Malevolent Phantom? Would you risk wondering if your child inherited some of its traits and became a crossbreed? No one wanted to shoulder that responsibility.Take Johann and his team, for example. They had absolutely no knowledge of crossbreeds, and their resistance right now stemmed entirely from their own moral convictions."Sir!"Johann didn't dare stop Felix outright, but he raised his voice to make his stance clear. The others followed suit, not to mention Lina, who was still sobbing uncontrollably, and Steve, whose eyes were red with fury as he glared at Felix without a hint of fear."Mr. Zeller! If you're really going to take my grandson, you'll have to step over my dead body first!"Tears st
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1356
"So what?" Lina asked. "Even if I lied, what does that person's death have to do with my son?"Felix suddenly roared, "Are you telling me that when you opened the door, your son never left your sight for even a second?""I—"Lina opened her mouth but suddenly found herself at a loss for words. That instinctive hesitation was the most telling of all."Get the car ready. Take her with us. We're going to Lina's house.""Yes, sir!"The convoy arrived at a luxurious mansion in Zuera. The moment Felix and his team rushed inside, they saw Steve sitting in the living room, holding a three-year-old boy in his arms."Mr. Zeller, why are all of you here?"Lina, restrained by Felix's men, screamed in a frenzy, "Dad! Save Leonardo! They're trying to take him away!"Then, she turned to Felix, shouting in fury, "You monsters! He's just three years old, and you suspect him of murder? I'll expose you! I'll take you to court!"By the time she finished, she was sobbing uncontrollably."Mr. Zel
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1355
Even though Lina knew Felix held an unimaginably high status—so high that even Steve feared him—his continued questioning and the direction of his suspicions pushed her to the edge. The mere idea that her son might be involved sent her into a silent rage.She was a mother, and when it came to her child, she did not care who the hell the other person was."I'm just asking questions," Felix said flatly. "Just answer them. Don't make me start quoting laws and rights to get you to cooperate."His voice was so calm. For a moment, Lina wondered if she had overreacted, so she took a breath and continued.She explained, "He wasn't in the stall. It's way too small in there. I left the door cracked open so he could see me, and since I had the tether on, plus the nanny and driver waiting outside, I wasn't worried about him wandering off."Felix did not say anything right away. He stood there, clearly deep in thought.Silvercrest Restaurant might have been an upscale dining place, but it was
