"Sorry, Nancy. I have an urgent matter to attend to, so I'm heading back now." Nancy smiled. "I just called out since you hadn't gone far. Take care on your way back." Her eyes showed no suspicion, so Felix left. What had started as an excuse was now a genuine emergency. Almost immediately after Felix disappeared, someone approached Nancy. "Cici, who was that?" The one asking the question was Drake, the subject of the students' earlier gossip and the owner of the Porsche.Nancy's smile vanished instantly. "Are we that close? And how many times have I told you not to call me Cici?" As Nancy rode away on her scooter, Drake's brows furrowed deeply. Normally, having friends of the opposite sex would not be weird. But after pursuing Nancy for so long, this was the first time he had seen her give any man such a genuine smile. Something was definitely off. "Damn it! How dare that guy touch the woman I've got my eyes on? He's asking for trouble!"…At New Glory, Felix was reliev

Lionel responded without hesitation, "Felix, you saved my life. How could I ignore your request? But as I said, we can't violate principles. "Here's what I can do. I'll have them release Xena to continue her work. She'll need to stay in Canraville, waiting for the investigation's outcome." Felix was satisfied with this. Even though someone of Xena's rank would surely have comfortable accommodations, freedom was far better than detention. "Thank you, Lord Lionel." After the call ended, Lionel turned to Nala, who was sitting beside him. "You clever girl, always thinking ahead for your grandpa!" Nala smiled and said, "I knew I couldn't fool someone as shrewd as you." Lionel glared at her before sighing resignedly. "By doing this, it shows your power to Felix and uses up the debt I owed him. Nala, do you have to be so calculating? You're always planning so far ahead. Isn't it tiring to live like that?" Nala slowly raised her hands before saying, "Grandpa, I'd already be dead if

The engine roared suddenly. It was enough to startle anyone normal, but Felix remained unmoved on his scooter as he sat through three green lights. It eventually forced the woman to back up and find another route.Back home, he received a call from Leonard, the specialist from Mercy Hospital who had helped him before. "Mr. Ziegler, what can I help you with?" "Felix, remember I mentioned I might need your expertise? I wonder if you could help me out with something now." Felix smiled warmly. "Of course. Without your help last time, that old man would have died, and my friend would've been in serious trouble. Just tell me what you need." Despite his exceptional medical skills, Felix always showed deep respect to those he deemed worthy. "Great! Then, I'll be direct. An old friend of mine has a rare heart condition with only a few dozen cases worldwide. There's foreign medication available, but it only treats symptoms and not the cause. His spirits are sinking daily." After heari

The woman's appearance drew different reactions from everyone. Marcus quickly asked, "Bertha, do you know Dr. Zeller?" Felix had not expected to encounter the rude Mercedes driver here. He smirked and said, "That would be an understatement. Mr. Rothwell, is this your wife?" Despite his growing unease, Marcus admitted, "Yes, she's my wife." Bertha Whitmore, who had been about to speak, quickly shut her mouth upon seeing Marcus' respectful attitude toward Felix. Felix scoffed. "Your wife's quite the tyrant in public. She's the rudest person I've ever encountered!" Turning to Leonard, Felix continued, "Mr. Ziegler, though I promised you I'd help, I can't help a family with someone like this. Frankly speaking, they can't be good people. I'm leaving!" Felix was not a masochist. Why should he help her family after she had insulted him so viciously? That was impossible! Caught off guard by this development, Leonard shot Bertha a dark look before hurrying after Felix without a

"Bertha used to be slender, beautiful, and refined. But two years ago, they lost their only child in a car accident. She turned into a completely different person. Though she's alright at home, she's become a complete shrew in public. "I'm not excusing her behavior, but I truly hope you can give Garrett a reason to keep living," Leonard explained. Felix sighed deeply before turning around. "Alright. You've convinced me." Seeing Felix return, Garrett broke down in tears. Knowing it was Leonard's doing, he pointed at Bertha. "Kneel and—" Felix raised his hand. "No need. Let's go to the bedroom for your treatment." Watching Felix's retreating back, Bertha collapsed, crying into Marcus' arms. "Marcus, I'm sorry. I know my mistake this time."…After leaving the Rothwell residence, Leonard was overwhelmed with emotion. "Felix, thank you. Seeing Garrett recover was my greatest wish." He was once again astounded by Felix's medical skills. That rare heart condition stumped doctor

Felix felt really annoyed being called out in such a rude way in public. Turning around, he saw it was Ethan from Medic's Haven. His irritation subsided. Clearly, Ethan was still relying on his supposed backup to cause trouble. "Damn it! I don't care who you are. Get lost!" George erupted. He was furious that his moment of joy over Felix's agreement had been ruined. "I'm here for Felix. You're the one who should leave!"With a clank, George's glass shattered on the floor as he pointed angrily, while a middle-aged man appeared before Ethan. "Get rid of him. I'll deal with him myself later!" George could afford such arrogance as a rich young heir from Yartford. In Canraville, he could disregard anyone he pleased. Felix was content to let things play out silently. Ethan clicked his tongue. "George, I haven't seen you in a while, but your temper's gotten worse, hasn't it? Heard you'd reformed and started managing your dad's business. I guess you still need more practice."With

Harry, who had been listening intently the entire time, suddenly burst out laughing. "Talk about asking for trouble! Felix, did you really think we hadn't looked into your background?"Sure, you used to have some influence, and plenty of big shots owed you favors, but what are you now? Just another ordinary doctor. Do you honestly believe everyone is like George, desperately hoping you'll make a comeback?"Maybe you had a shot at that before, but now? That chance is long gone. Besides, even if you did rise back up, do you think you could go against Ethan?"Ethan works for Malcolm, and Malcolm is my cousin. By messing with Ethan, you're disrespecting Malcolm. Simply put, you've picked a fight with someone you shouldn't have." George watched with a cold smirk, knowing everyone who had tried to destroy Felix felt this same confidence. Yet, they all regretted it the next moment."Oh? Someone I shouldn't mess with? Are they really that important?" Felix asked casually.Harry straight

Harry expected the other party to back down after making such bold threats, since no one would typically risk a conflict between two great martial families over an outsider. However, the young man responded by striking Harry to the ground with a single slap. When the men in black suits moved to intervene, the young man merely flexed his arms, and an invisible force sent them all flying backward. "You're just a distant relative of the Crayden family, yet you dare show off in front of us? If Malcolm came here to say these words, that would be a different story." He emphasized his point by stepping on Harry's face. "The name's Jeffrey Saphira, and you can tell the Craydens that Felix is a friend of the Saphira family. If anyone wants to mess with him, they'll have to deal with us first. Now get lost!" His commanding tone terrified Harry. Even Ethan, who had just gotten up, stood dumbfounded. They could not comprehend why someone like Felix had such strong backing from the Saphira

The reason Edmond dared to question Felix at all was that he was holding onto that one sliver of arrogance—he assumed Felix had only cured Christopher by pure luck, just because it happened to fall under his area of expertise.Otherwise, would he have even dared speak up? Not a chance.Once the silk threads were tied and tension filled the air, Felix spoke calmly after only a short pause. "Her Grace has a mild seasonal chill. It's nothing serious. I'll prescribe her some herbal blends—she'll recover within five days. Or, if she prefers a quicker route, acupuncture will do the trick."The Green King blinked, clearly stunned by the response. "You mean you can heal her without medication?""That's right. No medicine necessary." At the same time, a soft, melodic voice floated from behind the curtain. Sydney Haye said, "My love, that sounds perfect. You know I hate taking medicine. Please, Dr. Zeller, come in and begin the treatment."...15 minutes later, Felix stepped back out in

Joaquin was on the edge of madness. He wanted nothing more than to kill Felix right there, but he didn't dare risk the entire Goldstein family just to satisfy that rage. Disobeying a royal summons meant immediate execution—there was no bluffing around it.After taking a deep breath, Joaquin forced himself to put on a smile. "Dr. Zeller, then tell me—what exactly do you need in order to head to the Green King Manor?"Felix had seen this kind of groveling far too many times before. "Gras is right outside your estate. Go talk to him. The sooner you two reach an agreement, the sooner I'll leave for the manor.""What? Gras is here?" Only now did Joaquin realize just how thoroughly he had been played. Everything had been a setup from the beginning, and he had walked straight into the trap.Time ticked by, and eventually, Gras strolled into the courtyard. He said, "Dr. Zeller, the talk went well. How's the view treating you so far?" From the smile on Gras's face, it was clear he hadn't

Not far away, Wagner silently prayed with all his might. "Come on, Felix, don't back down now. Keep acting like a hothead—because only then will you die."As for any retaliation from the Longstone family, he wasn't the least bit concerned. Things had already gone too far, and Joaquin clearly wasn't about to back down. He would definitely find a reason to escalate the fight, and if that weren't the case, Wagner wouldn't have dared tag along tonight.Maybe his prayer actually worked, because Felix shook his head. "Sorry, I came here just to cooperate with your investigation. Anything beyond that… I won't do."Just as Wagner thought Felix had sealed his fate, someone suddenly rushed in, holding something in his hand. "Mr. Goldstein! We've got trouble—Green King Manor just sent a royal summons!""What?" Joaquin's expression twisted as he snatched the letter. A summons from one of the nine Minor Kings was no small matter—when it was issued, compliance was mandatory. Ignoring it meant
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1537
In the past, no one dared provoke a family war so openly as it would've been a blatant slap in the Green King's face. But this time, the Goldsteins had the upper hand. After all, Justus was dead, and the Longstone family was a prime suspect. Hence, even if blood were shed, it could still be justified.Joaquin knew this well. He also understood that Gras would never give up Felix for the sake of the Longstones' reputation, so even forcing the standoff served his purpose.Just as the tension reached its peak and a battle was about to break out, Felix stepped forward on his own. "You're the head of the Goldsteins, right? I'll go with you."Joaquin narrowed his eyes. He hadn't expected Felix to boldly step forward."Dr. Zeller, please step back," Gras said.Felix glanced at Gras and said, "Thank you for everything, sir. But the truth will speak for itself. Once the investigation is done, I'm sure they'll let me return."Gras stayed silent, but Joaquin chuckled coldly. "Return? Do you

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
