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

Felix took a sip of his beer before asking, "Do you really think this was a coincidence? If the Saphira family wanted to visit me, they could have done it anytime. Why specifically now?"Although he was unsure about Barack's background, Felix knew the situation was not as simple as it appeared. Seeing his expression, George decided not to pursue the topic further."Oh, by the way, Malcolm is a direct descendant of the Crayden family. He's also one of Lady Nala's suitors," George mentioned. "He's actually one of those powerful pursuers Mr. Gibson warned about earlier."The implication was clear—George wanted Felix to be careful. Felix merely nodded, as Nala's romantic affairs were not his concern.Nonetheless, he figured Malcolm would likely let the Ethan incident slide after the Saphira family's intervention. After all, it was simply not worth the trouble.An hour later, as they were leaving, the elevator stopped one floor down. Felix could not help but be shocked when he notice

Felix could swear he was not seeing things. Xena sat on his couch, with two glasses and a bottle of wine on the coffee table before her."Your life seems quite fun," Xena remarked, her initial smile instantly fading as her eyes fixed on Wendy in Felix's arms. Felix glanced down, finally realizing the gravity of the situation."Xena, I—" he started, but she cut him off, "No need to explain. I clearly came at a bad time. Don't worry. I'll use the front door next time."Felix inwardly cursed at this massive misunderstanding. He called out, "Xena, please let me explain! This is Wendy Kinsley—you must know who she is. She had too much to drink, and I don't know where she stays, so I—"However, his words trailed off as Xena had already vanished through the door.Looking at the wine bottle on the table, Felix felt incredibly frustrated. It was obvious Xena had found her own way into his villa to surprise him and probably have a heart-to-heart conversation.Instead of strengthening the

With Xena already being so forward, Felix saw no reason to hold back. He swept her up in his arms and rushed upstairs at lightning speed.…When Felix awoke the following day, he could hardly believe how easily things had progressed with Xena, especially without having to deal with Curtis. He quickly checked his body, but his face fell as he made a shocking discovery."How is this possible?" he muttered, noticing that Madam Spring's mark was still clearly visible.As a thought struck him, he turned to look at the woman beside him, who had just rolled over to face him. He gasped in shock, exclaiming, "Averill?"Lying next to him was not Xena at all, but Averill. At the sound of her name, Averill opened her eyes, blinking innocently."Oh, seems like the illusion spell wore off right on schedule," she said casually. Felix was speechless. With Averill's level of power, there was no way he could have detected her disguise.Averill sat up and playfully tilted Felix's chin toward h
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 531
Felix and Averill jumped at the sudden interruption, finding Wendy standing in the doorway. When her eyes met Felix's, Wendy realized how awkward the situation was."I'm so sorry!" she exclaimed before turning and fleeing. Felix realized he had been so caught up in the night's passion that he had forgotten to close the bedroom door. Nonetheless, he was not too concerned."She—" Felix began, but Averill pushed him back down. "Don't say another word about her right now. Let's continue!"...After their passionate encounter, Averill felt deeply satisfied. This time, she had been able to be with him as herself. She giggled and said, "Finally, I'm on equal footing with Leslie! I can't wait to tell her the good news!"Felix shook his head, feeling like a prize being fought over. "Come on, Averill. You didn't just randomly show up at my place, did you?"After all, Averill would surely be aware that he had recovered his strength. Hence, her sudden appearance surely meant there was
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 532
After finishing breakfast, Felix hesitated but decided to call Xena. His mind kept drifting back to last night and the madness with Averill—at least, at the time, he had genuinely thought it was Xena.Fortunately, the call connected, and Xena's cold voice immediately came through, "What is it?"Felix felt incredibly awkward, even though nothing had actually happened between them. "Xena, about last night—"Xena quickly cut him off, "I'm not dwelling on it. No need to explain yourself. Besides, there's nothing between us, so your private life is your own business."As expected, Felix thought women always seemed to get upset over the same kind of things. He said, "Alright. I'll drop it. I just hope this doesn't affect your mindset during the investigation."There was a long pause before Xena responded, saying, "Felix, thank you for getting headquarters to release me. That meant a lot to me."As for the investigation, I'm not worried. My assistance to Uncle Perry was completely legal

Barry rushed to the Xavier residence at top speed, only to be stopped at the gate. "Please let me in. I'm Barry Lufter. My father's inside!" No matter how humbly he begged, the guards wouldn't budge. Annoyed, they threatened him, "You little punk! We're already being nice by warning you. Here, then. We'll step aside. Try breaking in and see what happens."When the two guards moved away, Barry backed down instead. One step across that gate would mean instant death."Well, well! If it isn't Barry Lufter! I heard you became an Intermediate-grade alchemist at Harmony Clinic. Have you come to show off at our house?"A young man emerged, and Barry quickly greeted him with respect, "Mr. Jace." The newcomer was Jace Xavier. He was from the main family line and was also Nerissa's cousin."Please, Mr. Jace, let me in. There must be some misunderstanding about my father trespassing."Jace looked down at Barry with contempt. "If there's a misunderstanding, are you suggesting we Xaviers

After chatting a while longer and getting Felix's number, Janet left. A few minutes later, Barry appeared. He entered cautiously. "Wow, this is one of Westville's high-end restaurants! A meal here costs at least 500 emeralds. You really know how to pick a place." Felix laughed and said, "Come on! You're an Intermediate-grade alchemist now. Can't you afford this much?" Barry gave a bitter smile. "Felix, I may have succeeded, but my pill-forming rate is low. So, I'm barely hanging on at Harmony Clinic. Do you think all Intermediate grades are doing well?"Those of us with average talent spend most of our time making basic pills just to meet requirements, or we'd be kicked out." Felix understood this well. As an Intermediate-grade alchemist, if he could not deliver the required monthly quota of intermediate pills, he had to make up for it with basic ones. If he failed a few times, he would be expelled from Harmony Clinic.This created a vicious cycle. With low pill-forming rates

Felix froze in surprise. He never expected to run into Janet so soon after arriving in Westville. That's the very same woman who would soon be the center of the upcoming Battle of the Bride. Her lively presence reminded him of their first meeting in the capital, which felt like only yesterday. "Someone get him out of here! He's an eyesore!" Janet instructedColin's followers had been furious at first. But upon recognizing Janet, they fled without a word while carrying Colin away."Fighting isn't allowed in the city," Felix stated. Hearing Felix's words, Janet's smile grew sweeter. "That was self-defense! He struck first, and everyone saw it. So, it's fine." Good grief. Colin was nearly knocked out cold, and she called that self-defense? Janet giggled. "When did you get here? It must have taken you a while to find Westville, right?" With that casual conversation, she had confirmed Felix's identity. "Let's find somewhere more private to talk." They then entered a restau

"Well, how could I not take a gamble after a pitch like that?" Shepherd said.Soon after, Shepherd sent Felix a private message about finding the Skeletal Demon. He was so cautious that he would not even let Deborah hear it. "Now you know. It's up to you whenever you want to tell Dickson about this." "Thank you, Mr. Ghost." Deborah did not think much of it. After spending over a month with Felix, she knew he was an upright person. If he said he wanted to repay Dickson's kindness, he meant it. She would not mention anything to Dickson since this was Felix's decision. In Martial City, every car leaving town carried two gas cans in the trunk. Fuel was only available within city limits, and running out on long trips would be disastrous.Especially with gas-guzzlers like the Brabus. By the time they reached Westville the next day, they had already stopped twice to refuel. Westville had its own Harmony Clinic branch, where they were staying. Felix made his request as soon as th

"Mr. Ghost, do you know about the Skeletal Demon?" Felix asked suddenly during the drive, remembering how he had asked Deborah before without learning much. Shepherd laughed and said, "Why are you asking about that one?" "A friend mentioned him once and said he was ruthless and terrifying. It just made me curious." Shepherd glanced at Deborah with an odd expression. "Your mentor really does focus solely on alchemy, doesn't she? The Skeletal Demon has been Harmony Clinic's target for years. Obviously, you haven't heard much from Madam Goddard, have you?" he teased.Deborah frowned. "Teaching him alchemy is enough. Should I keep up with every bit of gossip? Out with it, you old man! You're getting more insufferable with age." Shepherd chuckled before continuing, "The Skeletal Demon is at the late stage of Transcendent Realm. His combat ability is mediocre at best—he'd lose to any serious fighter at his level. But his cultivation technique is strange."He's terrifyingly good at

An elderly man with flowing white hair rolled down the driver's window and looked at Felix. "Get in the car already, will you?"Felix replied respectfully, "One moment, Mr. Ghost." When he turned back around, the fat man had collapsed to the ground in fear. "Apologize to her!" Instantly, the man scrambled up and started kneeling before Laura, apologizing as if his life depended on it."If I ever catch you disrespecting Laura again, you know what'll happen," Felix warned. Laura's vision blurred with tears, feeling that warm sensation of being protected once again. Only after the Brabus SUV left did the fat man dare to stand, his legs still shaking. "Dear God, I just had a brush with death! Damn, I've only been away from North City for a few months!"Who the hell is that guy? How'd he get a ride in Mr. Ghost's car?" That vehicle was recognized throughout not just North City but all of Martial City as Shepherd Ghost's ride. He was an undisputed master of the Transcendent Re

Felix never imagined he would one day be so close to Cordelia or even meet her. Truthfully, he was not mentally prepared for this. From that video, it was clear the royal family despised him. If discovered, they would likely try every means to eliminate him. No wonder Nala had said that if he revealed his identity, he would need to stay by the Empress' side—otherwise, he'd be in danger. "What's wrong?" As an experienced elder, Deborah immediately noticed Felix's unease. "Nothing's wrong. Please go ahead, Madam Goddard. I'm focusing on alchemy right now and would rather avoid any contact with the royal family." Hearing this, Deborah did not question further. Felix had only recently arrived in Martial City and already faced trouble from both Jared and the Maximus family. Who knew whether dealing with the royal family would be a bad thing? "Very well. We'll discuss this another time." Sitting in his chair, Felix felt bitter. Learning that his parents had abandoned him to save

Westville? Felix thought about what Barry had mentioned. The Xavier family's Battle for the Bride was happening in a few days."Are you going to Westville for the Xavier family's tournament, Madam Goddard?"Deborah's expression turned strange. "So, you do have romantic interests! Here I thought your mind was filled with nothing but martial arts and alchemy. I didn't think you'd know about the tournament. You're not going to try your luck, are you?"Felix rubbed his head, slightly embarrassed. "Stop teasing me." Deborah laughed. "Janet Xavier isn't quite good enough for you, though her sister Nerissa is remarkable. Too bad she's already engaged, or I might have played the matchmaker." Taking advantage of the opening, Felix quickly asked, "Really? Do you think highly of Nerissa as well, Madam Goddard?"Deborah nodded. "Of course! That woman has strong principles and excellent character. Among the Top Ten Menaces, she's one of the few who meet my standards. Whoever that mysterious

At the Maximus residence in Bedford, the usual liveliness had given way to a heavy atmosphere. Even the housekeepers worked in silence with their heads down instead of chattering cheerfully. This change, of course, stemmed from the loss of their three elders. Such news couldn't be hidden. "Dean Maximus!" A voice shattered the silence, echoing throughout the vast residence for all to hear. Soon, several people rushed to the front courtyard, including Jonah and Herbert. They were the ones who had ambushed Dickson and Felix earlier."Mr. Whitwell, this is unexpected. Forgive us for not greeting you sooner."Indeed, it was Ezra who had called out. Though he stood alone without exuding any energy, his presence made both elders uncomfortable. Such was the terrifying nature of someone who had achieved the mastery of Transcendent Realm.Another elder appeared in a flash, smiling at Ezra. He asked, "Ezra, what brings you to our place?"Ezra snorted coldly. "Spare me the pretense, Dean
