Xena continued, "You can deny it if you want, but the truth speaks for itself. An S-rank fugitive is at least near the level of a Martial King. Even most martial artists wouldn't stand a chance. Yet you took him down effortlessly. Do I need to keep going?"The S-rank fugitive wasn't weak. You're just too strong."She wasn't wrong. Felix hadn't given it much thought as everything had happened too quickly."My strength has indeed recovered," he admitted.Hearing that, Xena broke into a bright smile. It was a genuine smile that came straight from the heart."All that effort finally paid off. Back then, you gave everything to save those kids. It seems heaven has finally smiled on you."Standing up, Xena prepared to leave. "Now that your strength is back, your medical skills must be as well. I have nothing to worry about anymore."Felix hesitated for a moment, then rushed forward and grabbed her hand. "Xena, let's be together!"Xena looked into his eyes, then slowly pulled her hand

The burly man had never heard his employer sound so irritated before, but it was understandable given the circumstances.Taking revenge on someone as insignificant as Ryland should have been a walk in the park. It should have been an effortless task. However, an unexpected hiccup arose.The unexpected involvement of the Meadowspring village chief wasn't a big deal as their plan could still proceed. However, just as the second phase of their plan was about to begin, someone appeared. That person issued a warning to his employer to leave Michelle and Ryland alone.His employer had no choice but to swallow his pride and comply. The reason? That person was the legendary Silver Flute. Refusing such a figure could easily cost them their life.Naturally, all the pent-up frustration and resentment had to be directed somewhere. Since Felix was also involved, he became the perfect target. However, Karina had left Felix out of the loop entirely. …Meanwhile, Jack had just finished washing
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 496
While on the road to Meadowspring, with only about three miles left to reach his destination, Felix suddenly slammed on the brakes. A BMW X6 had abruptly swerved in front of him, its brake lights flashing. A collision would've been inevitable if not for Felix's quick reflexes.The road was already narrow to begin with, with only two lanes for traffic. While the BMW's aggressive maneuver was extremely frustrating for any driver, Felix was in a hurry. Hence, he couldn't be bothered to deal with it. With a swift turn of the steering wheel, he aimed to overtake the car. To his surprise, the BMW had also veered into the opposite lane, clearly intending to block him.Felix took a moment to assess the situation. The BMW had been driving at a crawl just ten minutes earlier, and Felix had honked a few times, but the driver had ignored him. It seemed like the driver was seeking revenge just because of those few honks.A wry smile crossed Felix's face as he pressed the gas pedal, feinting a

The small square of Meadowspring was packed with people. The women were crying, and the men were no better, their faces full of sorrow.The cause of this collective sadness was Calum, the old village chief, whose contributions to the village were well-known to all. His downfall was a tragic event for everyone. Despite the grief, no one dared to speak out because of the power of the Saphira family. The Saphira family was the law, and no one could change that. Strictly speaking, Calum had indeed broken the rules, which was a fact, so the villagers could only send him off in this manner.At that moment, Calum appeared, flanked by two men dressed in traditional blue suits, symbolizing their direct Saphira lineage. If someone from the collateral branches of the family dared to wear those clothes, they would be executed on the spot.Among the crowd, a large man frowned. He was Pearly's lackey."Could it be that Pearly's prediction was wrong? It's about to start, but Felix still hasn't
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 498
After Calum finished speaking, he turned to Giovanni. "Giovanni, I've never asked you for anything as one of your former mentors. Felix has not harmed anyone or insulted the Saphira family. Let him go," Calum said.Giovanni sighed but shook his head. "If this was a few minutes ago, I might have agreed, but now it's impossible. You should know that the authority of the Saphira family is unquestionable."Take him away!"At this point, Felix was getting frustrated. All he had come to do was speak a few words, but they were pushing things too far. He didn't want to make an enemy of the Saphira family, but that didn't mean he was afraid of them.Xerxes, still trying to hold back his laughter, had already guessed that Felix wasn't from Meadowspring. However, it no longer mattered. Once someone crossed the Saphira family, there was only one outcome, regardless of whoever they were.The large man who served Pearly also smirked slightly. His employer's prediction had been spot on. Felix's

That night, at Xena's home, Curtis was fuming as he sat on the couch. The doorbell rang again, and he roared in anger."Turn it off!"The maid walked over helplessly. This thing had rung at least a dozen times, and it was really starting to drive her mad.As soon as she disabled it, the doorbell rang again in no time.Curtis rushed over and answered the call, shouting. "Felix! If you dare to do this again, I'll call the police!"It was Felix, standing at the gate and repeatedly pressing the doorbell."Mr. Summers Senior, just let me come in and see you. I promise I won't show up again after this. If you don't let me in, I'll keep pressing the doorbell."After a moment's hesitation, Curtis opened the gate and walked out. He pointed at Felix, who had just stepped into the yard."Stay right there! Just seeing you makes me sick. If you have anything to say, spit it out quickly!"Ever since the kidnapping incident, he had developed an extreme dislike for Felix. His fear of death du

"Let's go," Felix said. Since his plan failed, he would have to think of something else.After returning to his villa and just finishing a bath, the doorbell rang. Seeing it was Yvonne, Felix was tempted to pretend he hadn't heard it. Alas, his lights were still on. When Yvonne entered, Felix greeted her with a smile. "How are you settling in Canraville?"Yvonne was wearing a yoga outfit that accentuated her figure. She said, "While I was practicing, I threw a punch and suddenly felt a dull ache in my chest. Can you take a look?"Felix didn't call out the oddity of wearing yoga clothes while practicing martial arts. Instead, he stretched out his hand. "Let me check your pulse."Though he could tell from her condition that nothing was wrong, he still needed to give a thorough check since she had asked."You're fine. It's probably just a bit of air trapped in you," Felix said.Yvonne shook her head. "No, I still feel discomfort. Please check more carefully."Without warning, she

As Nala's words fell, she reached up to pull off her veil, but she suddenly found that her hands refused to obey her will."Leave," Felix said flatly.Nala's gaze remained fixed on him. "Why? Aren't you even a little curious about me? They say even heroes can't resist beauty's charm. Are you afraid that once you see my face, you won't be able to stop thinking about me?"Felix responded with a slight, dismissive smirk. "Feelings come from the heart. What does appearance have to do with it? Besides, are you really Nala Hughman?"The question made Nala freeze momentarily. Before she could recover, Felix's voice rang out again."Go back and tell that self-righteous woman that even if she were to come here herself, I wouldn't be the least bit interested in what lies beneath her veil."With a wave of his hand, the door opened, and Nala found herself stepping backward out of the courtyard. Once outside, her body regained movement. Without a word, she turned and left.At Yvonne's villa,

Ginny was naturally present as well, and she spoke up at that moment. "Mr. Goldstein, no one wanted to see Justus die like that. But why did you bring your people to Longstone residence? Are you suggesting that his sudden death has something to do with us?"Joaquin's expression grew darker as he looked at her. He blamed Ginny for this, thinking that none of this would have happened if she had just agreed earlier. And now, they couldn't even determine the cause of death."No connection? That doctor from your household, Felix Zeller—he's the one responsible for Justus' death."Right then, someone spoke up from the crowd. "That's him! That's Felix Zeller!"Felix, who had been calmly sitting in a chair, finally saw Wagner standing among them. And in that moment, everything made sense."Wagner? You've gotten quite bold, huh?" Gras sneered.Wagner flinched at Gras's words, but remembering that he now had the Goldsteins backing him, he stiffened his spine and stood tall. "Cut the crap

In Cloud City, there were a few noble families. Nonetheless, behind the polite smiles, tensions surged. Infiltrating each other's estates with spies had practically become a tradition. While they rarely uncovered major secrets, the information they did gather always gave them a head start.So when the news broke, Gras didn't doubt it for a second. He jumped to his feet, furious. "This is outrageous! Their son dies, and somehow it's the Longstone family's fault?"Ryker looked just as puzzled, agreeing that the accusation made no sense.But Felix let out a quiet, weary sigh. "Mr. Longstone, I'm afraid this is probably my fault. I'm a doctor, and I've gotten a bit of attention lately. After they failed to determine the cause of Justus' death, and given our meeting earlier today, they likely saw an opportunity to drag your family into the mess." Gras's expression darkened, knowing that Felix wasn't wrong. After all, doctors could also be poisoners, and plenty of martial artists had fa

It was clear someone had said something to Justus. Otherwise, this situation wouldn't have escalated to this point.Felix said calmly, "It was a standard therapeutic massage technique, and I was blindfolded the entire time. Does that explanation satisfy you? Or would you rather find someone else capable of treating Ms. Longstone—I'll gladly step aside if you can."Justus sneered, his eyes filled with disdain. "Cut the crap, Felix. Don't act like I don't know exactly what's going through your head. Ginny's the heiress of the Longstone residence—Gras's precious jewel. Everyone knows that marrying her is like securing the entire household. Don't tell me that thought never crossed your mind.""It didn't," Felix said simply.Unfortunately, that answer was never going to satisfy Justus. He snarled, "Listen up, boy! I'm giving you three days to get the hell out of the Longstone residence. If you don't, you won't even get the chance to regret it. Everyone else might be afraid of Gras—but I

As Wagner watched Justus explode in rage, he felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction. With what he'd just uncovered, there was no need to exaggerate—it was already explosive enough on its own.After all, Justus' future fiancée was touched in that kind of intimate way by a young, healthy doctor. Any man with a spine would lose it."But Justus," Wagner added with a smirk. "Didn't Felix just get publicly praised by the Green King?"Cloud City wasn't that big. Anyone with any influence had been keeping close tabs on Green King Manor—especially with the mystery man who walked out of Desolated Lands involved. So, the news of Felix being rewarded had already spread far and wide.Justus clenched his jaw. "So what? It's just a flash in the pan. If he was truly skilled, the Green King would've kept him. But as long as he hasn't climbed into the Green King's inner circle, I can crush him whenever I want."Wagner's grin widened. That was exactly the attitude he needed. If Justus had shown

The moment the Flame Monarch mentioned the Healer Sage, the Green King's expression shifted noticeably. "So the Sage really was living out there in seclusion... No wonder. Flame Monarch, does this mean you've taken a liking to Felix?"But the Flame Monarch waved his hand dismissively. "There's no need for that."That response made the Green King secretly rejoice. If the Flame Monarch didn't intend to recruit Felix, then he understood why—and that was perfect. It meant the opportunity to take Felix under his own wing was wide open.The night passed quietly. Felix stood beside Christopher's bedside, noticing the man's breathing had grown steady and stable.At this point, the herb had run its course and was no longer effective. But what was left inside Christopher's soul—a strange, lingering force—was exactly what Felix had hoped for.Christopher was alive but completely unconscious. The remaining energy had no regenerative properties, which meant he'd likely never wake again. For Fe

Felix wasn't the least bit surprised by the Flame Monarch's reaction, but he still feigned confusion. "Flame Monarch, I'm sorry... but I don't understand. What do you mean by soul-related injuries?"Just from that single line, Felix confirmed what he suspected—Aquamarinus had no concept of soul-based matters. Whether it was training methods or anything else, this realm hadn't yet touched that domain.The Flame Monarch stared at him, pressure radiating from his body. Felix immediately felt his limbs start to tremble under the invisible weight."You don't know? Then how could you claim to treat that man's condition?" Felix calmly pointed toward the herbs laid out on the table. "The force inside him is definitely strange. It triggered a memory... I once sensed something very similar, and it came from within that herb. It was purely instinct—when something feels familiar, there's a chance it might work."The Flame Monarch shifted his gaze to the herb, then said flatly, "Start from th

Felix gave him a direct and honest answer. "As long as I have enough herbs. I can treat him. I won't promise a full recovery, but one thing I can guarantee you is that this man won't die."For now, that was the best possible answer anyone could offer.The Flame Monarch replied, "Good. Begin. As long as you can keep him alive, you'll be handsomely rewarded."It seemed the Flame Monarch already knew something and never truly expected anyone to completely cure Christopher. Preserving his life alone would already be a feat."Flame Monarch, please reconsider!" one of the elderly doctors suddenly cut in, seething with resentment. "This boy is barely grown—how could he possibly possess such remarkable skill in medicine?"The Flame Monarch turned and gave him a cold, mocking glance. "If he can't do it, then can you?"The old man went silent. Perhaps fearing the loss of favor or acting out of sheer pride, he hesitated. Eventually, he found the courage to speak again."I admit I can't, bu
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1529
The Green King's expression changed instantly, and he turned to Felix in a hurry. "Dr. Zeller, please come with me to greet him.""Of course," Felix replied.For anyone in Aquamarinus, getting the chance to see the Flame Monarch up close was like a once-in-a-lifetime dream, and people would probably die happy just for that. Naturally, Felix put on a show of reverence as well, even if he didn't feel it deep down.As they reached the front gate, Felix saw several figures striding toward them with heavy steps. At the front of the group was a towering man, nearly nine feet tall. Even someone as built as Dave looked like a delicate bystander next to him.What stood out the most was his bright crimson hair, which flared upward like flames, making it look like his head was on fire. His facial features were fairly average, but the power behind his gaze radiated pure, undeniable authority.So, this was the Flame Monarch?Felix studied him closely. He suspected the man had cultivated some

According to the rules set by the Flame Monarch, the position of Minor Kings rotated every five years. Those who made outstanding contributions could keep their titles, but anyone who fell short would have to fight for their place all over again.The Green King knew he wasn't particularly strong—he was painfully aware of that. And with the next year marking the fifth year, the pressure was mounting fast. So when Christopher appeared, it felt like fate. If he could heal this man before the Flame Monarch arrived with his elite doctors, the credit would be immense, and his reappointment would be virtually guaranteed. Anyone who had never held a Minor King title wouldn't understand just how many perks came with it. If they did, no one would give it up willingly."I can treat him," Felix said calmly. "But I can't promise a full recovery."The Green King smiled. "Do your best. Even if you can only keep him alive, that alone is worth it."Two doctors before had said that Christopher's b
