The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 444
Around 11:00 pm in a park near the Serenity Manor, Felix was strolling by the lakeside with Sherlyn."Felix, thank you for dancing with me today. I was really happy."Now dressed in jeans and a white T-shirt, Sherlyn had a completely different style."There's no need to thank me."At that moment, Sherlyn stopped walking and looked at Felix. "I know you don't have romantic feelings for me, but I can wait. After all, I never planned on getting married soon anyway."Felix sighed. Being fancied by women was sometimes a burden. Each refusal felt like adding another heartbroken person to the city, and that was the last thing he wanted.Just as he was about to speak, Sherlyn tiptoed and kissed him lightly on the lips, like a dragonfly skimming the water."Remember. I'll be waiting for you."Felix shook his head as he watched her run off, at a loss for words.…In another part of the villa, Isaac was sitting across from Ernest. "Dad, according to you, is it possible that Felix won't

In an instant, Felix felt the shadow of death looming over him. The last time he experienced such a feeling was at the hands of Vilebane."Averill, you really got me into trouble this time!" he thought.He never expected that Averill would not be protecting him in secret."Madam Spring, you've misunderstood. I have no ties with the Summers family anymore. Why can't you just let me go?" Felix spoke not out of fear of death but because dying like this felt utterly unfair.A faint smile appeared on Madam Spring's face as she kept her cane raised. It was fortunate that she hadn't struck yet. With her strength, she could end Felix's life in a split second."With a backbone like yours, it's a wonder that a proud woman like Xena would ever be involved with you."Hearing this, Felix felt as if he had caught something. "It seems that you know what's going on, huh?"The cane lowered, and Madam Spring's smile deepened. "I never imagined that a man like you could stir up two heartless men.

"Ha! Remember, you only have three months. Only three months…" Madam Spring reminded.Standing dazed in the wind, Felix looked troubled. He had already given up hope of finding a way to remove whatever strange substance he had swallowed. After all, Madam Spring was so confident. She knew Gerald. Why would she make a move that wouldn't work?Back at home, Felix thought over the situation. The only option was to take things one step at a time. Overthinking would only waste his energy without getting any results. The real issue was that he couldn't talk to Xena directly about it. One slip of the tongue would spoil any chance he had of pursuing her.What woman would want to be pursued by a man with ulterior motives? Or worse, the pursuit was merely to remove the toxin in his body. It would likely earn him a slap instead.…At Canraville Airport at 9:00 am the next day, Jack glanced around the plane he was in."Wow! So, this is what a private jet looks like. This is my first time fl

Sean frowned. "His name is Felix. How do you know him?"Dylan hurriedly took out his phone and showed a photo. "Is it this guy?"Sean nodded immediately. "Exactly!"Since his plan to retaliate against Felix at the bar failed, Dylan had done some digging on Felix. He found that Felix was indeed not an ordinary man.Dylan smirked. "So, Felix is going to be at the engagement party?""Yes. He's on his way now," Sean replied, but something felt off. "Whatever you're planning, I would advise against it. Felix and George are extremely close. Otherwise, why would I call him a big deal?"Dylan remained unfazed. "You don't understand. Felix used to be a miracle doctor, which is probably why he knows George. But for some reason, he's nothing now—just an ordinary man."A miracle doctor? Sean hadn't known that and wouldn't dare investigate Felix's background, even if he had the courage."If he's really nothing now, then why did I just get word that George and Felix are coming to the party t
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 448
George's expression turned odd. He wondered how Dylan ended up going against Felix. Was he so bored with life that he was seeking death?"Dylan, you're way too full of yourself. Shut your mouth and don't ruin someone's engagement party. Seriously, you have no manners!" George said.Huh? Dylan hadn't expected George to stand up for Felix. His face darkened as he struggled to come up with a response.Felix didn't escalate the situation further. What was most important now was Madeline's engagement. Any incident would spoil the event, and this wasn't just some casual gathering.Sitting at the same table, Sean was full of disdain for Dylan. He talked big, but the moment George spoke up, he became quiet like a child.After a moment of silence, Dylan opened his mouth again. "I'll say this one last time! Felix, if you apologize to me now, for George's sake, I'll let this go. Otherwise…"Felix shot a sharp glance and cut him off, "No otherwise. I won't apologize, especially since I did n
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 449
Aside from George, Jack, and Vanessa, everyone else was stunned, gasping at Felix's audacity. Did he realize who he was talking to?Especially Dylan, who was elated internally. If Felix had only provoked him, he might get a broken arm or leg. But angering Fabian meant a completely different level of consequence.Terrance reacted quickly, rushing over. "Felix! What are you saying? Quickly apologize to Mr. Fabian."He tried to calm the situation by scolding Felix while smiling apologetically at Fabian. "Fabian, young people can be rude. Please don't mind them."Internally, he was anxious. Although he knew Felix and George were close, this was too reckless. Didn't Felix see that even George was staying silent?Terrance had thought Luke marrying Madeline would solidify their connection with George. Now, it seemed like a massive problem was brewing instead.Although this old classmate of his was no longer useful in providing benefits, they couldn't afford to turn him into an enemy.W
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 450
But wasn't it a bit too unbelievable? Fabian, the president of Lionsfield Chamber of Commerce, was a significant figure in Yartford. Otherwise, how could Dylan have spoken to George that way? Yet here he was, treating Felix with the utmost respect and even promising Dylan would no longer speak for life. Terrance wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't witnessed it himself."F-Felix, our family bears some responsibility for what happened," Terrance said again.His tone was respectful to the extreme. If anyone dared to mistreat his future daughter-in-law, Madeline, he would deal with them himself."It's me who should be apologizing for disrupting the engagement," Felix replied.Sean, who had been anxiously watching, quickly interjected, "Felix, what are you talking about? There was no disturbance at all.""Exactly! No disturbance! Everything is proceeding as normal."As the engagement ceremony resumed, George remained silent, deep in thought. Why would Fabian fear Felix? Logic

Only one man entered the room. He seemed to be in his 40s and was impeccably dressed. He even wore a subtle smile that did nothing to diminish his overwhelming presence. The entire banquet hall fell silent at his arrival. Felix frowned. "What's going on?" George's eyes widened in recognition as he said, "Well, well... I can't believe Lilian had the nerve! Five years after the Starlight incident, someone cleverly tried to pull one over on Lady Nala. The bastard actually succeeded and fled overseas. "Now that Alfie's shown up, they must have caught him. Looks like it's time for everyone involved to face the music." As he spoke, Lilian cowered behind Terrance with a trembling voice. "It wasn't me, Mr. McDonald. You've got the wrong person, I swear!"Alfie stood motionless. His smile was unwavering as he slowly raised his right hand. "Will you come with me, or should I make you? The outcomes of your decision would be quite different." Terrance swallowed hard before stepping forw

Ben was quite an interesting character. Felix felt amused. "Really? Then, I'll just kill all of you and run. Thank you for your kind reminder!"Huh? For a second, Ben was caught off guard, and he was at a loss for words. After all, who wanted to die? He definitely didn't. The issue was the two strongest men he had were killed in seconds. Who else could stop Felix from killing them all? Gulping, Ben forced a smile and chuckled. "Kid, we're all trying to make money here. I merely misspoke earlier. Fifteenth Overlord treasures talent the most! And with your skills, he definitely won't fight you when he comes."Felix smiled. "Really? Then, what about the people I've injured?""No, no, don't worry about them. They're not as skilled as you, and it's only right for them to have such an end." After some thought, Felix nodded. "Alright. Since you said so, I'll wait for Fifteenth Overlord to come."A few minutes later, a man rushed in, shouting, "Mr. Hitchcock! Mr. Murray is here to
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1245
Felix knew Trevor wasn't lying, which surprised him even more. Fifteenth Overlord was nothing more than just a gang boss, yet even Cairo didn't dare to attack him? That had to be a joke.Felix's curiosity was bursting at the seams. When they finally reached the hall, he noticed the whole street was full of two-story buildings. The exterior walls were all painted the same color—uniform and stoic. They entered through a corner entrance, walking straight into a large courtyard. "Mr. Hitchcock, please! I was wrong! I'll never do it again! Please give me another chance!" A man was kneeling in the yard, covered in blood and begging for mercy. Soon, he was hit on the head, and he fell to the ground. Ten men were standing around the collapsed man, and they all turned to look at Felix in unison. The only man unfazed was a bearded middle-aged man with a cup of coffee in his hands. He sat on the side, sipping almost happily and seemingly enjoying the scene."Mr. Hitchcock!" Trevor exc

The burly man sneered. "We're just following orders. You'd better follow us. Otherwise, you know the consequences."Just as the burly man finished speaking, Felix waved his phone around. "You all should leave quickly. I've already called the police. I checked, and the nearest police station is only 1.8 miles away from here!"Both Lars and Yolanda were stunned—even the burly man was dumbfounded. He had never encountered this before. Everyone knew who Fifteenth Overlord was, yet Felix still dared to call the police?"Fuck! I'll remember you! You'd better visit Fifteenth Overlord, Yolanda. Otherwise, you'll be in even more trouble." The burly man scowled before turning around to his men. "Let's go!"The MPVs left as quickly as they came. When Felix turned to Lars and Yolanda, they both looked ashen. He asked in confusion, "What happened? Why are you guys so pale? They left, didn't they?" Lars smiled bitterly. "It's okay. You just came back. You don't know how terrifying Fifteent
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1243
Lars slammed on the brakes, and the car squealed to a stop. He turned to look at Felix in disbelief. "H-How much did you say?"Felix looked startled and blurted, "My dad said as long as it's not more than ten billion dollars, I can do whatever I want."Lars quickly sucked in a breath of cold air excitedly, turning to look at Yolanda. On the other hand, she was quite composed."Is your family really that rich now, Felix?"She really couldn't believe that her former classmate could be this rich. Yolanda's family had started their business back when she was in elementary school, and it took decades of development to reach this level. It wasn't that she looked down on him, but Felix's words were too unbelievable.If his father dared throw the requirements of less than ten billion dollars to do whatever he wanted, that meant that Felix's family had at least tens of billions of dollars in assets. Otherwise, who would dare do this?It wasn't just an exaggeration. It was simply outrage

After phoning in the dead body, Felix left. He didn't explain much but only said that Bonnie was a Malevolent Phantom and asked to come and dispose of the body. Back on the main road, Felix walked on the sidewalk, planning to walk back to his hotel. However, a car stopped next to him. "Felix!" It was Lars and Yolanda in a Mercedes-Benz G500. Yolanda looked utterly confused in the passenger seat. "Oh, it 'is' you."The tennis court was one of the prestigious courts in Monaire despite being open for around a year. It was also located in the suburbs, so seeing Felix walking on the roadside was odd."Why are you walking?"Felix replied with a smile, "The scenery is really beautiful here, so I plan to walk back. It's still early anyway."Lars rolled his eyes. "Dude, it's over six miles away from the city. Do you actually plan to walk back?"On the side, Yolanda piped up, "Come join us, then. You must've seen enough of the scenery, right?"After some thought, Felix agreed. This w
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1241
Bonnie's expression turned ugly. She caught a glimpse of something behind Felix. However, she couldn't see it clearly."Do you really think I'm afraid of you?" She smirked. Knowing how terrifying the spell was, she no longer held back. Black markings surged across her face and instantly covered it.The scene was eerie. At the same time, Felix used his killer move. "Six Word Mantra!"Despite being the same spell, its power had been heavily improved. The Phaeron Projection had no attack power, but once used, it could enhance all of Felix's soul attacks.On the other hand, Bonnie didn't sense a difference. She noticed the projection behind Felix. But because of his current strength, the projection was weak and blurry. As his strength grew, the projection would become clearer and more powerful.A terrifying wave of energy surged toward Bonnie, so she didn't hold back her final trump card. "Dark Shadow!" Instantly, a 32-foot-tall shadow appeared. Its bloody mouth opened as it whist
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1240
Bonnie was obviously stronger in terms of soul mastery—perhaps it was why Felix couldn't sense her realm despite being in his domain. There seemed to be a strange energy that surrounded her.He didn't dare to use his marital artist techniques to attack. Although he had the Infinite Shield, if he wasn't careful, there was a chance to damage his soul. That would be completely catastrophic. In the battle between souls, it was necessary to be completely focused—they were all written in the book given by Billy. "You're quite smart. I thought you were going to attack me with your martial arts." She sounded almost disappointed. She had thought Felix was just another untrained brute, that he would instinctively use his martial arts to fight her. If he did, she would undoubtedly have a chance to beat him."Enough!" Felix exclaimed as he launched the first attack. Lumen flew out, but Bonnie wasn't afraid at all.Something flew out of her body as she exchanged blows with the Lumen. As ex
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1239
Felix had been wondering about how he was going to find the Eight Guardians—but he didn't expect one to show up right in front of him. It seemed like Karina's last attack hadn't been too severe. Otherwise, how did Ashton recover so quickly?In order to rescue Melissa and Ronan, Gerald had set a goal, and Felix had to execute it no matter what. Despite the power of the Eight Guardians, he must take them all down.Without another word, a domain immediately surrounded them, and Felix frowned."You're not Ashton."The energy exuded by this man was definitely of a martial artist, but once in the domain, Felix immediately realized that it was just a man in the early stages of the Transcendent Realm. How the hell could he be Ashton?Before he finished his words, Felix leaped toward the man and grabbed him by the neck. "Tell me! Who are you? Why are you impersonating Ashton?"The man immediately dropped the pretense and fear overtook his expression. "Spare me! It was a woman who tampered

Yolanda smiled bitterly. The idea made sense, but she rejected the thought. "Forget it. You know how large of a sum my financial crisis is! It's 5 billion dollars!"Even the bank blacklisted us and it's impossible to get a loan. Besides, whether it's individuals or companies, who in Monaire has the strength to come up with 5 billion dollars on the spot—except for that bastard."She sighed. "I don't deny that Felix is most likely filthy rich, but 5 billion dollars? That's impossible."Felix sat in the car outside of the tennis court. Everything had been planned after his brief investigation, so, of course, there would be no reason for failure. After discovering their family background, he realized the Zuckerbergs weren't ordinarily rich.It was no wonder they could prevent Serena from marrying into the Warlock family back then. They had everything. It was just a pity that Yolanda's father meddled in the import-export business. Initially, it was successful, creating a big name for th
