"Felix, come with me. I'll introduce you to some people who could be useful to you later." The moment Warren saw Felix, he almost dragged him away immediately."Uncle Warren, thank you for your good intentions, but I have my own approach. I'm really not that keen on this," Felix replied.Warren smiled and patted Felix on the shoulder. "Alright. I guess I was being too eager. Go ahead with Sasha and get to know some of the younger folks.""Okay," Felix responded. After Warren left, Sasha's expression turned icy. "Don't expect me to show you around."Felix said nothing and headed to a corner. He planned to grab something to eat and then call Wendy.If he hadn't given prior instructions, Wendy would have already been at the entrance to greet him personally. He didn't want Sasha to see the other side of him. After all, he wouldn't need to keep up the act much longer.Meanwhile, Sasha approached Hugo. She looked a bit nervous. "Hugo, do you remember me? I was also at Ivan's barbecue
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 48
Sasha was dumbfounded. Her mind went completely blank.She couldn't grasp why Hugo not only acted like he knew Felix but also didn't cause him any trouble. He even had a smile on his face. That was utterly baffling. She wondered if Hugo was being careful because Felix was known to be a strong fighter.However, as soon as that thought crossed her mind, she dismissed it.The Lambert family was powerful and prestigious in Avesburgh, far beyond what the Cameron family could compare to. There was no way Hugo would be intimidated by someone just because they were good at martial arts."You should use your time to do something worthwhile." After saying that, Felix left. He needed to find Wendy.Sasha stared blankly at his departing figure, and a terrifying thought suddenly crossed her mind. She couldn't shake the feeling that Felix might be a successful person."No! That can't be!" Sasha gritted her teeth and stomped her foot in frustration. She had to figure out the reason behind Hug

Hanging up the phone, Wendy hurriedly left after informing Felix. "Felix, I have to leave now! The goddess of war, Xena, has arrived unexpectedly. I need to go greet her."Felix nodded in acknowledgment. He wasn't planning to leave just yet. He didn't care why Xena had shown up suddenly, as long as he didn't run into her.A few minutes later, Wendy and Vincent were at the door to welcome Xena's arrival. Bernard, as the central figure of the event, was also there. With Xena's high status, there could be no room for any oversight."Dad, why has Xena come all of a sudden?" Wendy asked.Vincent shook his head. "I don't know. I just received the news myself. Could it be related to Mr. Zeller?"Hearing that, Wendy also thought it might be the case. It seemed that Xena hadn't given up."Listen up, both of you. Since Mr. Zeller refuses to reveal his personal information, we absolutely can't disclose it, no matter who the other party is," Bernard stated. To him, it was a matter of princip

When the car arrived at the manor, both Xena and Jordan got out, and the Kinsley family immediately greeted them, "Welcome to the banquet, Lady Summers."Xena nodded in response. "There's no need to be so formal. I heard that Mr. Kinsley Senior has fully recovered from his illness. After all, he did a lot of good deeds for Avesburgh back in the day. It's only right that I come to visit him."As she spoke, she extended her right hand. "This is Jordan Hall, the apprentice of Wesley Cane, who ranks fifth among the top ten master healers."The crowd was somewhat astonished. Anyone who rode with the goddess of war had to be extraordinary."Welcome, Mr. Hall," the crowd greeted.When the group entered the front courtyard, all the guests who had already received the news were visibly excited but didn't dare to approach. They could only watch from afar."My goodness! It's the goddess of war, Xena. I can't believe I'm seeing her in real life. She's so gorgeous." Sasha's face flushed with

Gilbert's sudden call brought Xena to an abrupt halt. She turned to look back, and instinctively, the others followed her lead. A sense of dread tightened in Wendy's chest. The shout from Gilbert felt like a harbinger of trouble. What could unfold now?Felix, however, remained unfazed. With no secrets to hide, he welcomed the opportunity for Gilbert to come to terms with the situation. "Let's go inside and discuss this further," he said.As Felix led Gilbert back into the dwelling, Xena's eyes flickered with disdain. "Master healer? If a small doctor from the countryside could be labeled as such, then this title had lost all its value," she thought as she continued on her path, convinced that Gilbert was another victim of Felix's schemes. "People are truly amusing these days. Master healer—what a joke!" Jordan scoffed, echoing the sentiment that the title had become a mere shadow of its former self. Xena would have apprehended Felix long ago if it weren't for the engageme

Businessmen were still businessmen, after all—they had a lot to consider."Yes, Dr. Zeller," Gilbert answered.As the two left the banquet, only Xena, Jordan, and three members of the Kinsley family remained in the reception room."I don't like to beat around the bush. You should understand the benefits of my visit today! You can also amplify these benefits, which can work in reverse," Xena said harshly.Upon hearing Xena's words, Wendy and the others changed their expressions. They wondered if this was a threat.However, it was undeniably a fact—if Xena wanted to take action against the Kinsleys, she could do so in the blink of an eye."Xena, the Kinsleys have become the wealthiest in Avesburgh. While I can't say they're cunning, they certainly hold their own," Jordan played the role of the peacemaker. Jordan had known Xena for quite some time. He understood how to navigate the situation."You should also understand. After all, Mr. Kinsley Senior was once bedridden and in dan

As Wendy was about to speak, Bernard regained his composure and shouted, "How dare you!" In the next moment, Bernard suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed into Vincent's arms. Wendy was so frightened that she burst into tears and hurried outside. Even Xena's expression changed. Bernard's loyalty was more intense than she had anticipated, to the point of spitting blood over this matter."Joe," she whispered. Jordan nodded in acknowledgment and rushed over to check Bernard's pulse. His assistance helped calm Vincent and Wendy down a bit. "It's nothing serious. It's just a case of stress. A few days of rest will do him good, but during this time, make sure he doesn't face any more pressure." Given the sudden events, if Xena continued to press on the issue, she would no longer deserve the title of goddess of war. She left with Jordan. "Grandpa! I'm so sorry!" Wendy cried like a child. She just didn't want the Kinsleys to be defeated. But it wasn't her inten

Felix's lips curled into a slight smile. It was exactly as he had anticipated. He picked up the bowl he had prepared earlier and placed it by Zane's mouth. Then, he gently patted Zane's back three times with his right hand.On the last pat, Zane surprisingly opened his mouth and expelled something into the bowl. To the astonishment of Gilbert and Jane, Zane laid back down and fell asleep again."All done.""All done?" The couple stared wide-eyed, unable to comprehend the unbelievable turn of events.It wasn't until Felix approached them with the bowl and pointed to its contents that they understood. "This bug is the reason for your son's condition." Felix showed them the bowl.They looked down to see a white, worm-like creature in the bowl, resembling a dead earthworm, completely still. "This creature is extremely rare. It's called a Snowbug. I won't go into the details, but when it encounters a human, it will actively burrow into their body without leaving any wounds. "

At 11:00 pm, they finished their dinner. Jack drove Ronan and Felix to the banquet hall. "Rest well, Felix. Leave everything to me!"Ronan had been dragged into the car by Melissa. The latter threatened to break up with him if he made Felix fight this time. "Okay," Felix replied. To be honest, he was a little drunk. The liquor was bought by Ryan and was made using a secret technique, so it was very valuable. Apparently, even powerful martial artists would be a little drunk after drinking it, so its authenticity was confirmed. Once they arrived at the place, they saw a large restaurant on Yartford's outskirts.It wasn't a coincidence that Ocean Whit chose this place. Since many experts were arriving there, they would be fighting a lot, and fighting wasn't allowed in the central area of Yartford. When the three men got out of the car, a muscular man at the entrance said, "If you can make me retreat without getting me injured, you can enter the banquet."That was probably the

Felix and his friends gathered in a luxurious private room at an upscale restaurant in Yartford that night."Everybody, please try the pasta. I hired professional chefs to cook it for all of you."Madeline called a group of waiters over. Her pasta was renowned for being delicious. After tasting it, Melissa, who loved eating pasta and fondue, exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! It tastes great, Maddy. When are you going to open a franchise in Gray City? I'll miss this terribly."Madeline smiled. "Since you said that, I'll open one soon."Though Ronan looked like a simple and honest person, he was actually pretty quick-witted. So, he swiftly said, "Can you teach me how to cook it, Maddy? If Melissa craves it in the future, I can cook that for her."Hearing that, Felix replied, "Shut up! That is Maddy's secret recipe. How could she give it to you? Let's drink instead."Realizing that Jack was drinking juice, Felix asked, "Are you a woman, Jack? Do you have that 'time of the month' when y

There was suddenly silence on the other end of the line. Felix thought it was because of a bad signal and was about to speak when a much fiercer voice came through, "What? You're the apprentice of the respected elder? Wow, that's an honor! "Don't worry, my future in-law. I guarantee my grandson will pursue your sister with all his heart. I swear, I won't lie to you. If this rascal isn't worthy, he wouldn't dare to force it."Respected elder? This was the first time Felix had heard someone refer to Gerald like that, so it felt a little strange."Are you sure?""Absolutely. Please pass the phone to my grandson, I need to give him a serious talking-to."Before handing over the phone, Felix asked who the old man was. The only answer he got was "Warlock", which he had never heard of.…Four days passed quickly. Despite the upcoming Dragonia Martial Arts Competition, Felix was not affected at all. He still went to the clinic every day, though he still hadn't had a single patient.
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 899
The clinic fell completely silent. No one expected Ronan to make such a move, and judging by his expression, it seemed like he was deadly serious.Billy started clapping, laughing out loud. "Good news! This is great news!"Melissa smacked him on his back immediately. "Are you out of your mind, fatso?"With an annoyed glance at Ronan, Melissa turned and ran off as she was genuinely startled."Wait, my wife! Don't leave! You're supposed to come home and have kids with me!"Ronan started to chase after her, but Felix stopped him. Wearing an ugly expression, he asked, "Is this how you pursue a woman?"Ronan, looking dumbfounded, didn't know what to say."Where did you find this kid?" Nala asked.Hearing that, Felix's expression darkened even more."I didn't actively search for him, alright? I had no idea he was going to pull something like this. Go check on Melissa."A few minutes later, only Felix and Ronan were left in the clinic."That's my sister Melissa. I didn't have the

As Ronan was about to leave, Felix called out, "Wait a second. You don't seem very experienced. Why don't you stick with me until the Dragonia Martial Arts Competition begins? "Big cities can be full of bad people. Didn't your grandfather ever teach you? It takes years to learn to do good, but you can pick up bad habits in just a day."Ronan tilted his head, thinking for a long moment before breaking into a smile. "Alright, thanks! I had no idea where I was going to stay anyway. And you seem like a nice guy.""I seem like a nice guy?" Felix thought. "I am a nice guy!"It seemed like the Dragonia Martial Arts Competition was drawing out a lot of hidden young talents.After Ronan entered the car, Felix walked over to the unconscious man. With a few well-placed silver needles, he extracted the information he needed. However, what he learned left him conflicted.The man had been sent by Xena's eldest uncle to kill him because Felix had killed two of Xena's uncles.He wondered how m

The young man seemed to be in his early 20s. He casually lifted Felix's Rolls-Royce Cullinan with one hand as if it were weightless and started walking forward.Lifting something as heavy as a car was not something an ordinary person could do. However, he didn't just lift the car. After taking a few steps, he even balanced it on his pinky finger. Clearly, he wasn't just any martial artist. He had to be someone extraordinary.Felix had no choice but to step forward and stop him. "Excuse me, but that's my car."The young man paused, looking at Felix with a bit of confusion. "You're sure about that?"Felix showed him his keys to the car. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure."Seeing that, the young man carefully placed the car back down and scratched his head awkwardly. "My bad! I thought it was abandoned. Wait. Is this a Rolls-Royce?"The young man's expression was sincere, as if he hadn't been exposed to much of the world. "Yes. It's a Rolls-Royce model called the Cullinan," Felix replied.T

The old man burst into uncontrollable laughter after confirming the truth."Cured? Someone has actually managed to cure our family's Fish Man Disease? Oh, thank the heavens!"What the heck? Did that mean he didn't want to be a Fish Man?"I am Kayden Lannerby," the old man said. "And what's your name?""Felix Zeller."Kayden nodded and continued, "You may not know this, but the Fish Man Disease is a hereditary curse in my family, Felix. We've sought out countless famous doctors over the generations, but no one could treat it. "Truthfully, curing it is quite simple—when the silver scales begin to show, removing just one from the hand would return the person to normal. But the challenge lies in the fact that the scales can't be removed."Felix silently agreed. Even with his extraordinary medical skills, it had been an incredibly difficult task."From this moment onward," Kayden said with a trace of hope, "if Pierre builds a family of his own, perhaps the Fish Men lineage will fin

Felix was stunned that he had been detected. After all, he had even activated the Nightshade Discipline. Back when he was with Helena, his presence could not be sensed even at close range. "What's the matter? Are you not willing to show yourself?"Grinding his teeth, Felix revealed himself. About ten yards away, an elderly man was standing there, watching him intently. The old man had an ordinary appearance, with slightly clouded eyes, and stood with his hands behind his back. There wasn't the slightest trace of fear or nervousness in his demeanor."Sorry. Maybe we're just traveling the same path," Felix said, forcing a smile.The corners of the old man's lips curled up slightly as he chuckled. "There's no such thing as pure coincidence in this world. Besides, I've never seen an expert as young as yourself."As he spoke, the old man slowly extended his hands forward. Felix noticed he was wearing gloves. Was he a Fish Man?The realization hit him like a thunderclap. As the gl

"I heard you've slept with Averill, Leslie, Delilah, and Mira?" Naomi said.Felix, who was in the middle of slurping the pasta, coughed out the contents in his mouth the moment he heard Naomi's words. He was at a loss for words. After all, it was true, and trying to deny it wouldn't change anything."What are you embarrassed about? We've always been your women. It was just a matter of time."Hearing those words come from Naomi's mouth gave Felix an indescribable sense of awkwardness.Her face, which had been slightly flushed, now seemed calm and resolute, as though she had come to terms with it."Do you know why Mr. Hoffman asked me to seek you out? It was to make sure we could sleep together."Felix started coughing again. "Naomi, are you serious?"Naomi nodded. "Yes. The cultivation technique I've been practicing is closely tied to the soul. Mr. Hoffman must have thought the time was right. He always has his reasons. "When we… uh… connect, it's not just about the physical
