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
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 454
"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

In a private room, Hector beamed. "Xena, I cleared my evening to celebrate with you. Where are you taking me to dinner?" Looking at him, Xena felt nothing but gratitude. Without him as her mentor, she would not be where she was today. "Let me cook for you at my place. I can't think of a restaurant worthy of this occasion." Though she was now Phoenix Warlord and was equal in rank to Hector, her respect for him remained unwavering. "Sure. I'll try your cooking, then." Noticing her expression, Hector asked, "Is there something on your mind?"After hesitating, Xena asked, "Lord Hector, did you have Leia bring Felix to my ceremony?" He thought it was something more serious, so he laughed and said, "Yes. Is that a problem?" So it was true. Xena pressed on, "Do you know Felix?" "I've known him for quite a while! He's treated me a few times. You probably know how amazing his medical skills are firsthand."This revelation stunned Xena. Why had Felix never mentioned this? "Do you

Inside the pavilion, Felix reached the top floor. He spotted a young man with tan skin lounging on a couch. On the floor beside him was a pitiful-looking woman. The woman did not react to Felix's arrival at all. Her eyes were blank. The young man, however, spoke up. "Check her out. Can you fix her?" Felix did not move. Instead, he asked, "What happens if I can heal her?" This young man was clearly Koros, the Malevolent Phantom. He looked up at Felix with surprise. "Interesting. You're the first person who didn't even bother looking at her before trying to cut a deal." Though Felix stayed silent, his expression made it clear he was waiting for an answer. "It's simple. If you heal her, I'll leave Medic's Haven, and all these people can go on living their lives. Pretty good deal, right? But the real question is—can you actually do it?" Felix remained rooted to his spot. "I thought A-tier Malevolent Phantoms were stuck in their territories. How are you moving around freely?"

Magnus was the Supreme Elder of Medic's Haven and had met with Felix not long ago. He was a man of integrity who had devoted himself to advancing traditional medicine. Yet, he was now dead and couldn't even rest in peace. After all, his body had been torn to pieces and hung up as a warning to others. "Screw this! I'll kill that bastard!" Finally, Felix could not contain himself anymore. He was here to kill the Malevolent Phantom anyway. The process didn't matter as long as he could get the job done. Claro and Roger were terrified. They seemed to have anticipated this reaction and rushed to persuade him, "Dr. Zeller, please stay calm!" "You absolutely cannot act rashly. Though we also want to avenge Mr. Grimwald, that Malevolent Phantom holds the lives of thousands of people in Medic's Haven." Felix slowly sat back down, remembering what Xena had told him. If he couldn't figure this out, he could not afford to move. He couldn't bear the responsibility for thousands of deaths

Felix looked at the middle-aged man who had just appeared. The man's gaze was icy cold, and he definitely didn't look like he was joking. Felix asked, "Is that so? Where should I strip?" While pointing with his right hand, the middle-aged man spoke firmly. "Right here." Felix couldn't help but snicker. "What an unreasonable demand." He had never heard that visitors of Medic's Haven were required to strip for a body examination. Not just Medic's Haven—there couldn't be such an unreasonable requirement anywhere else in the world. "Fine then. I wish Medic's Haven continued success." With that, Felix turned to leave but was suddenly called back. "Wait, young man. Don't go yet." Felix turned around to see another middle-aged man who had just emerged. As the man was about to speak, his eyes suddenly widened. "Are you Dr. Zeller?" Felix wondered if that man had recognized him. This wasn't surprising, considering the commotion Felix had caused at Medic's Haven back then. After

Jack mumbled, "Damn it, I'm so jealous you have so many wives."Felix thought to himself, "Oh no." And sure enough, Vanessa's face darkened with anger. "Nessa, he's just talking nonsense while drunk. Don't take it personally." Vanessa stretched her neck and smiled, though her smile made even Felix feel uncomfortable. "Listen to yourself. Why would I get upset over what some drunk man says?" As he watched the car drive away, Felix silently mourned for his good friend. He guessed that when Jack woke up tomorrow, he'd be in for a world of hurt. The next morning, Felix was in the car heading toward Medic's Haven when he received a call from Donna. "There's an A-tier Malevolent Phantom inside Medic's Haven. Don't worry, an S-tier would absolutely never do something like this." So it was indeed an A-tier, just as he had suspected. "How did this thing manage to erase ten people's souls simultaneously? And according to the monitoring personnel on site, no one even saw the Malevo

Felix thought he had misheard. There was no way Malevolent Phantoms would provoke humans. "Do you know what you're talking about?" On the other end, Xena raised her voice, as if to remind him that this was serious business. "You heard me correctly! Do you remember Medic's Haven?" "Of course I do." Because of a man named Ethan, Felix had visited Medic's Haven back then. He hadn't paid much attention to it since then. After eliminating some corrupt elements, Medic's Haven's existence had only benefited Dragonia with no downsides. Many highly skilled traditional medicine practitioners were trained there, and Silas was one of them. "What does this have to do with Medic's Haven?" Xena continued, "A Malevolent Phantom has appeared at Medic's Haven and claimed to have occupied the place. It's demanding we send highly skilled medical practitioners there, or it will start killing people." What the hell! Had it completely lost its mind? Felix's expression changed. He was sure the

Felix hadn't realized anything was wrong until he returned to Newtown that evening. He was totally stunned when he saw the scene before him. "What's going on here?" The massive living room was filled with beautiful women. Besides Eloise, Dahlia, and Karina, all his other fellow apprentices had somehow arrived. Including Nerissa, there were seven gorgeous women in total. Felix felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and he felt nervous. After all, what man wouldn't feel uncomfortable with seven beautiful women giving him such suggestive looks? "Don't ask. It was all Aunt Cordelia who invited us here," Rosalie said with a mischievous smile before Cordelia stood up. "Alright, everyone, go get ready. Don't worry. Nerissa has already agreed, so I'll handle the rest of the arrangements." The women departed one by one, leaving behind a thoroughly confused Felix. "Mom, what are you trying to do?" Cordelia walked over and took Felix's hand. "You're not getting any younger, F

Kingston's soul was covered in dense soul ties, and countless threads wove through his soul."I'm a Black Soul Scout, second to the White Soul Scout! I have many secrets up my sleeves. Do you really think you can get priceless information out of me, Felix? Stop your wishful thinking!" he sneered smugly."Maybe you think you're truly powerful, but these ties are all linked together! Just cutting one would crush my entire soul. In the end, you'll get nothing!"Felix had miscalculated. He didn't expect the Scarlet Lord to be so cunning."I'd advise you to let me go. Just because we're not confronting you head-on, doesn't mean we're afraid of you! There are reasons why we're not. But if you kill a Black Soul Scout like me, the Hall of Souls will definitely go to war with you!"As Kingston spoke, he felt like he had more and more control over the situation; like the tides were turning in his favor. "You've provoked the Ancient Sage, killing two of his Eight Guardians. Do you really t

After some time had passed, Felix rode a rental bike to a parking spot near the rented house. After all, the show still needed to go on. At this point, his soul power had been fully restored.As for Xena, her soul must've improved as well. If he could successfully capture the Black Soul Scout, it would be like killing two birds with one stone! After paying off the bike and taking a few steps, Felix felt a dark energy coming toward him.The energy wasn't strong, but it was enough to make him trip. He didn't dodge or avoid it, just merely pretending that he didn't notice. When the dark energy reached him, his body felt unstable, falling straight to the ground."What the hell?" he muttered, getting up from the ground. He looked around but continued to walk forward helplessly.The Black Soul Scout was truly cautious. Even with three soul barriers, Felix was still being tested. Was it because of how he looked? Was this its final test?After entering the rental house, he turned on the t

As Felix looked at the various swarms of clothing rushing into the store, he had no time to think and decide. In his "final attempt" to escape, he closed his eyes desperately, letting the clothes swarm him.Felix had decided to take a gamble. Orchard Square had never reported a murder, after all. The Black Soul Scout had set up multiple soul barriers, making it complicated. It was definitely not for killing.Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to have done it from the start, or killed them in secret? Why did they have to go to a mall where people gather?When Felix opened his eyes again, he knew he had won his bet. At this moment, he was definitely still in Orchard Square. He was sitting on a bench and the customers who walked in and out were extremely normal.He turned to look at the time and it had been an hour since he had entered Orchard Square. Strangely, it lined up perfectly with the time he had spent in the illusion. As he glanced around, he noticed a few people sitting on cha
