The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 527
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

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

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

Felix chuckled. "Oh? I wasn't aware I had any secrets." The whole situation felt eerily familiar, as if someone had tried this approach with him before.Aimee sneered. "Laugh all you want. I know your birth parents are from the Greene family of Yatford. Is that enough to make you leave?"Felix's smile faded, not from fear but from curiosity about how Aimee had discovered this information. As far as he knew, only his senior apprentices and Nala were aware of this fact."If I reveal your identity to the Greene family... Well, let's just say they despise illegitimate children like you. The Greene family of Yatford is extremely powerful, and dealing with you would be child's play for them," Aimee threatened. "So think carefully. Would you rather leave quietly and continue your pleasant life, or face the crushing power of the Greene family?" Felix hung up without responding, completely unfazed by the matter. He recalled that Nala had tried using this secret against him before, but

Half an hour later, Felix, Jack, and Vanessa arrived at Nancy's apartment, where she was busy in the kitchen, wearing an apron. "Make yourselves comfortable," she called out. "Just two more dishes to go. Nessa, could you help entertain them?"The apartment was not large, around 900 square feet. Nancy had bought it with a mortgage and help from her parents for the down payment. According to Vanessa, Nancy was fiercely independent and wanted her own place, leaving future marriage considerations for later.As a university professor, Nancy's income was decent enough to handle the mortgage payments. Her modest dress and lifestyle showed she was neither extremely frugal nor wasteful with money."Wow! Cici, your place is so neat and clean," Jack complimented. "Unlike our mess of an apartment."Vanessa immediately pinched his ear. "Oh? Complaining about me? We agreed when we got together that you're in charge of housework or we hire a housekeeper. Having second thoughts now?"Felix coul

"Mr. Summers Senior, if a man degrades himself to the point of sacrificing his own body for love, he doesn't deserve to live! Our bodies are gifts from our parents, and unless forced, self-mutilation is disrespectful to those who gave us life and raised us," Felix declared firmly. "If you believe I'm a coward, so be it. I won't perform such a ridiculous act just to change your mind," he added before turning and walking out.As the bitter realization sank in, he saw no point in staying. He had thought Curtis was finally ready to accept him, but instead, it was just an elaborate trap to humiliate him.After Felix had been gone for a while, Xena shifted her gaze from the axe to Curtis, her eyes filled with anger. "Grandpa, this was absolutely ridiculous!"Curtis simply pulled the axe from the table and headed back upstairs, saying, "I have my reasons. Stay out of it."...Later that evening, Felix sat at a local barbecue joint, drinking beer and eating. He was there purely out of

In Canraville, just as Felix was about to head out for a quick dinner, his phone rang. When he realized it was Xena, he quickly answered, "Hey, Xena.""Are you free? Come over for dinner at our place," she invited.Felix thought he had misheard. Based on their situation now, having dinner together outside would make more sense. He asked, "Is Mr. Summers Senior not there?"Xena's response filled Felix with joy. "Actually, Grandpa's the one who asked me to invite you."Felix was stunned to hear Curtis' sudden change of heart. Nonetheless, it was definitely a positive development. "I'll be right there!" Felix rushed to his garage and jumped into his Range Rover, speeding off toward their house. With Madam Spring's mysterious "gift" lingering over him like a ticking time bomb, any progress toward resolving it was enough to lift his spirits.When he arrived, Xena opened the door, and sure enough, Curtis was sitting on the couch. "Mr. Summers Senior," Felix greeted.Curtis looked

"Just friends? Regular friends don't visit each other's homes or care this much! Do you think I'm an idiot? Watch your back, pretty boy," Drake snarled.Drake watched Felix walk away. He clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with cold fury. He clearly had not taken Felix's warning to heart, or if he had even listened at all....At sunset, in a coffee shop in Yartford, Aimee sat waiting for someone. After about 20 minutes, a young man walked in and took the seat across from her. He asked, "Aimee, it's been months. What made you reach out?"Aimee smiled and pulled out a sealed plastic bag containing a single strand of hair that Yvonne had given her. "Leroy, if I remember correctly, you mentioned being a distant relative of the Greene family, right?" Leroy Kidman nodded slightly. "Why would I lie about that? But if you're hoping to ask any favors from the Greene family through me, it's impossible. "To be blunt, I don't have that kind of pull, and we're not that close."They ha

Drake did not let the awkwardness affect him. He quickly recovered with a smile and said, "Dr. Ziegler, I contacted Dr. Richie about this case."Leonard withdrew his hand. He thought Drake was Felix's friend, which was why he had bothered with the handshake in the first place. Since it was not the case, Leonard walked past Drake without another word. As Leonard approached the patient, Nancy and her relatives quickly stepped aside. After a brief examination, he looked up and asked, "Which one of you is Nancy Yonder?"Nancy hesitated until Samantha gently pushed her forward. "H-Hello, Dr. Ziegler. I'm Nancy."Leonard's expression softened considerably. "Don't worry. I've decided to take Mr. Niles' case. We'll move him to a special care unit, run some additional tests, and I'll personally perform the surgery at 6:00 pm."Though somewhat confused, Nancy knew Leonard's prestigious reputation just by seeing her relatives' awestruck expressions. "Thank you, Dr. Ziegler."The medical te

"Mom! I know someone incredibly skilled who can definitely cure Uncle Gary!" Nancy's enthusiastic announcement drew everyone's attention, and her mother's face lit up with hope."Really? Contact them right away!" her mother, Samantha Niles, exclaimed excitedly.Nancy pulled Felix forward and introduced him. "Mom, this is Felix Zeller, my good friend."Samantha gave a polite greeting, though she internally questioned why Nancy was introducing a friend at such a critical time. "Hello, Felix. It's nice to meet you," she said before turning to Nancy. "Well, Cici. Hurry up and make the call!"After a brief pause, Nancy declared seriously, "Felix is the master healer I was talking about."The announcement caused an uproar among the relatives gathered in the hospital waiting room."Don't be ridiculous, Cici! He's far too young to be a master healer," Samantha protested."Exactly, Nancy! At his age, being a resident physician would be impressive enough," one of her aunts chimed in."Wh

Unfortunately, Nancy's warning came too late. He had already opened the door, but instead of Jack and Vanessa, Drake stood there with a large bouquet of roses and a confident smile that quickly vanished upon seeing Felix."What the hell are you doing in Cici's apartment?" Drake demanded.Felix frowned. "Watch your language."Before Drake could curse again, Nancy rushed to the door. "Drake, when will you stop? If you keep harassing me, I'm calling the police!"She had tried to prevent Felix from opening the door earlier because of a suspicious delivery call, remembering how Drake had used similar tactics before."Cici, don't call the cops! I'm serious about you!" Drake shouted, his eyes now fixed on Felix, full of hostility.When Drake showed no signs of leaving, Nancy angrily retrieved her phone. "I'm really going to call the police!"However, her phone rang at that moment. It was her mother, and she had to answer. "What? Uncle's in the hospital? It's that serious? I understan
