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

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

No matter how capable Felix was, he could not possibly defeat Nala. Madeline could not let her family drama ruin her first love and life savior. But Alfie's smile faded as he studied Felix. "You're Mr. Felix Zeller, right? Since you've spoken up, there may be room for negotiation. Lady Nala owes you a favor from the orphanage incident. But are you sure you want to waste it on someone like Lilian? After all, a favor from Lady Nala is invaluable." The revelation that Nala owed Felix a favor stunned everyone. Lilian saw a glimmer of hope and collapsed at Felix's feet, sobbing, "Felix, please save me! I don't want to die!" When he remained silent, she turned to Madeline. "Please, Maddy. Help me convince him. I was deceived! I never would've dared cross Lady Nala!" Madeline did not hesitate at all. How could she possibly let Felix waste such a precious favor? But he spoke first before she could, "Let Lilian go." Alfie nodded. "Very well. Consider Lady Nala's debt settled, then

Ernest's eyes narrowed as he studied Felix, which made Felix feel embarrassed. "You want to attend Xena's appointment ceremony?" Seeing Felix nod, Ernest suddenly laughed before saying, "No." Felix was baffled. Given their relationship, this should have been a simple request. "I can't betray Sherlyn like that. She'd never forgive me for helping her rival." Ernest chuckled, showing his playful side while Jairo watched in amusement."Mr. Holt Senior, you've got it wrong. I'm just curious about the ceremony." "Really? I've been around long enough to know better. Are you saying there's nothing between you and Xena?"Felix fell silent. He did not want to lie to the old man. "Goodbye, then." Watching as Ernest walked away, Felix felt helpless. Left with no choice, Felix called Hector after getting home. He needed to attend the ceremony. He had to signal Xena about Madam Spring's situation and save his own life. Their relationship had been tough from the start, with simple

"Mr. Holt Senior, how did you know he would attend? His connections must be limited now," Jairo said."True. Felix lost his martial powers, and his medical skills have dwindled. But I think he isn't as simple as he appeared to be. Look. He managed to get in." Jairo was impressed. This was not some ordinary party. It was an official ceremony that only people connected to the authorities could attend, yet Felix had secured entry effortlessly.…Xena's appointment ceremony was being held at the Wolfie troops' base. The guards stopped Felix's car when he arrived. "Hello, I'm here for the ceremony." "ID please." The guard took it but radioed instead of checking the list. "Lady Leia, Mr. Zeller has arrived. Please verify." After that, he turned to Felix. "Please step out and wait for Lady Leia's verification." "Alright!" Someone was sent over to drive Felix's car away, so he stood at the side waiting. Right then, a Bentley arrived. The guard went over to verify their identitie

Dissatisfied, Aimee turned to look at whoever was speaking. When she saw the elegant woman addressing Felix, she became even more upset. She started to speak but stopped when she saw the soldiers saluting Leia. This was Wolfie troops' territory, after all. Still, she memorized Leia's face. If she could not handle this, Xena certainly could. This was Xena's big day being crowned as Warlady, so no outsiders were allowed. Even Aimee was here only because she was a relative. How did Felix get in? Someone must have broken protocol. "You must be Leia, right?" Leia studied Felix. His reputation preceded him. This young man who had earned even Hector's respect had truly hidden his power well. "Yes. Please follow me." Inside, Leia said, "Lord Hector is with important guests. He suggested you wait in the waiting room." Felix raised his hand. "It's okay. Let Mr. Downy handle his business. I'm just here for the ceremony. We can always catch up another time." Felix knew better than t

Two of the Thirteen Aces had been captured by chance, but the records from the headquarters showed Xena had made the arrests. That was undeniable. As she scanned the audience, Xena maintained her military bearing. But her eyes froze on the back row. Felix? What was he doing here? Quickly composing herself, she delivered the standard promotion speech. After the ceremony, everyone left promptly, as this was not a social gathering where people would enjoy food and drinks. When the crowd cleared, Felix approached her. "Congratulations, Xena!" She had mixed feelings. She did not expect his presence today—even hearing him congratulating him. "Thank you." Felix left with a smile, having achieved his goal. Almost immediately, Aimee rushed over with dissatisfaction. "Xena, someone let a nobody like Felix in on your big day! We need to investigate this, and he shouldn't get away with it, either!" Truthfully, Xena felt oddly pleased by Felix's presence. Both the God of Death's cap

"There is a way. That woman told me that if I could find a husband to defeat her brother, she'd give me the antidote. The only condition is that my husband cannot be from our place," Nala explained.Felix understood everything. "Is that why you targeted me? Did you think I could win the antidote for you?"Nala nodded. "Yes. I didn't think much of anyone from this part of town before. But then you appeared and won my heart."Felix studied her carefully. "Here's the deal. I'll ask for your help if I ever need it. In return, I'll defeat her brother as your husband and get you the antidote. After that, we'll be even."Though Nala was excited, she felt her heart clench. "Is that it? Can't we go further in our relationship?"Judging by his gaze, she knew it wasn't because of her appearance."At least for now, it's not possible. I'm going to bed." Felix waved her off.The next day, Nala went to the clinic early. Felix, who slept in until past 9:00 am, was startled to find Averill besid

While looking into those bright eyes, Felix, who intended to brush things off, finally admitted it. "Yes, it's me."Xena waved her hand dismissively, silently telling him to leave.Felix couldn't figure out what was going on in Xena's mind. He didn't know if Willow's letter affected her.For some reason, Felix felt a sense of relief. He had done what he could—the rest didn't matter.By the time he returned to Gray City, night had fallen. Nala greeted him, "Welcome back. Come eat."The timing was perfect, and Felix didn't question it since he was hungry. "Thank you."After finishing his meal, Felix stopped Nala from doing the dishes. "You gave up everything to be with me. Is it truly out of love?"Nala thought for a moment. "Not entirely. At the very least, I do care about you."Nala was being genuine, that was if she ignored Felix's abilities and his overly protective mother.However, Felix shook his head. "You don't even dare to show me your face. You should leave. There's no

"Have you forgotten what I always taught you? The Greene family never fights a battle without certainty. Send an expert to test Felix's abilities first—just testing, mind you, nothing lethal," Meredith instructed.Aiden nodded in understanding. "Yes, Grandma."…At Xena's residence in Yartford, Felix sat silently on the couch until Xena broke the silence. She said, "About your earlier situation, you don't need to worry for now. "While you're on assignment, headquarters will protect your family members, and since you have no acknowledged relatives, this protection extends to your friends."Felix looked up with interest. "Is that really possible?"Xena nodded. "Yes, I've authorized it personally. No matter how powerful they are, the Greene family wouldn't dare openly defy headquarters. "You can rest assured about that. However, how you resolve your conflict with them after the mission is your own business."How to resolve it? Through elimination, of course! Now that his anger h
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 819
Aiden made a subtle hand gesture behind his back. He and Meredith knew that someone like Felix, who would not even acknowledge his own father, would never respect the Greene family's authority.They had not really brought him here to treat Meredith's condition—their true intention was to eliminate Felix. The Greene family had always been ruthless—if someone could not be controlled, what was the point of letting them live? This was especially true since Felix carried Greene blood but refused to serve the family's interests.However, Felix's Dragon Knight status complicated matters. Since it was an official position appointed by headquarters, killing such a person would mean directly opposing the organization—something even the Greene family could not afford."What do you think you're doing, Felix?" Aiden asked with a barely concealed smirk. He had deliberately used Felix's friends to provoke him into attacking first, which would give the Greene family legitimate grounds for retal

No one showed Felix where to go, with only Asher standing beside him as they waited for Aiden to return."Felix, don't be so stubborn. You can't fight the inevitable! You should be grateful that Grandma is willing to let you return to the Greene family," Asher urged, but Felix remained silent."If it weren't for Uncle Victor, do you think I'd be this patient with you? Today is your best chance—if you cure Grandma, you'll prove your worth, and no one will oppose your return to the family."When Felix continued ignoring him, Asher finally became quiet. Ten minutes later, Aiden appeared, pushing a wheelchair, followed by over a dozen impressive-looking individuals.Felix studied the elderly woman in the wheelchair. Despite her silver hair, her skin showed remarkably few wrinkles—a testament to decades of careful maintenance. "Grandma, this is Felix Zeller," Aiden announced.Meredith Armstrong, the Greene family matriarch, did not even bother to flash a smile. She said coldly, "Vict

Felix could not understand why these two had shown up again, especially since his dealings at the Obsidian Auction with the Dragonspine should have left no traces."I won't say it twice," Asher warned, but Aiden ignored him and turned to the woman instead."What seems to be the problem?" Aiden asked, his demeanor commanding respect.Intimidated by Aiden's imposing presence, the woman reluctantly answered, "I have a terrible headache."Aiden snapped his fingers, and his men immediately placed stacks of cash on the table. "Here's 100 thousand dollars. It's all yours—how's your headache now?"The woman excitedly clutched the money to her chest, backing toward the door with a broad smile. "It's gone! The pain is completely gone! Thank you so much!" In the inner room, Melissa felt furious even without seeing what happened. She would have stormed out to confront them if Nala had not held her back."Felix, isn't my way of treating patients faster and more effective than yours?" Aiden

"We still can't confirm if he's really from the Bronze Age over 2000 years ago," Felix mumbled thoughtfully.Everyone studied Benjamin carefully, finding it hard to believe. Yet, considering that his body had been used for ancient alchemical experiments by the greatest mystics of the time, it was not entirely impossible."I'm sure I'll have a way to verify it once we're back in Dragonia," Felix added confidently.At dawn, Felix and Nala were set to return home while Selmer stayed behind. The plan was for Reagan to gather the Steele family that night, eliminate them all, and then return. They were not worried about the Elders' Council for now, as Felix's betrayal would not be discovered anytime soon."Thank you for everything," Felix said on the private jet, still feeling guilty about the night's events. "Don't mention it. I've already decided to pursue you, so helping you is only natural," Nala replied simply.Felix frowned at her words. "A relationship between us is impossible.
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 815
The name Benjamin Stone was entirely unfamiliar to Felix, but he was beginning to piece together the situation. In ancient times, emperors were often called the Sons of the Dragon, and their presence was described as "dragon energy".Felix, with his unique possession of the Dragonspine, could very well radiate such a presence. Was it possible that this man knelt and called him "my liege" because he sensed the dragon energy emanating from the pen?"Stand and speak!" Felix commanded.The strange man obeyed immediately, rising to his feet. His tangled hair fell away, revealing a face marred by dirt and scars. Beneath his grimy exterior, Felix saw the features of a middle-aged man, his eyes cloudy but occasionally flashing with a murderous intensity. It was clear this man had seen countless battles, his energy thick with the bloodlust that only came from waging war—and winning it. Such a presence was impossible to fake. Nala and the others edged closer, curiosity etched across their f

"He treats the brush like a sacred relic, which means he absolutely won't allow anyone else to claim it," Felix said, his voice firm.With that, he grabbed the brush in his hand. Instantly, a roar erupted from far away, followed by Alfie's alarmed shout."Damn it! The creature's turning back!"Selmer instinctively wanted to flee, but seeing Felix remain motionless, he did not dare move either. Disobeying his master in such a moment would be nothing short of betrayal."Step back," Felix said, his tone steely. "At this point, I have no choice but to take a gamble!"As the creature rushed back toward them, Felix's suspicions seemed increasingly accurate. If they did not solve this now, Nala would not be the only one dead. In fact, everyone who had come into contact with the brush—himself included—would eventually be hunted down.If this also involved its presence, that might mean Luna and the others were not safe, either."Mr. Zeller, just… be careful!" Selmer shouted, his voice he
