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

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

"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

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

"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

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

Ben was quite an interesting character. Felix felt amused. "Really? Then, I'll just kill all of you and run. Thank you for your kind reminder!"Huh? For a second, Ben was caught off guard, and he was at a loss for words. After all, who wanted to die? He definitely didn't. The issue was the two strongest men he had were killed in seconds. Who else could stop Felix from killing them all? Gulping, Ben forced a smile and chuckled. "Kid, we're all trying to make money here. I merely misspoke earlier. Fifteenth Overlord treasures talent the most! And with your skills, he definitely won't fight you when he comes."Felix smiled. "Really? Then, what about the people I've injured?""No, no, don't worry about them. They're not as skilled as you, and it's only right for them to have such an end." After some thought, Felix nodded. "Alright. Since you said so, I'll wait for Fifteenth Overlord to come."A few minutes later, a man rushed in, shouting, "Mr. Hitchcock! Mr. Murray is here to
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1245
Felix knew Trevor wasn't lying, which surprised him even more. Fifteenth Overlord was nothing more than just a gang boss, yet even Cairo didn't dare to attack him? That had to be a joke.Felix's curiosity was bursting at the seams. When they finally reached the hall, he noticed the whole street was full of two-story buildings. The exterior walls were all painted the same color—uniform and stoic. They entered through a corner entrance, walking straight into a large courtyard. "Mr. Hitchcock, please! I was wrong! I'll never do it again! Please give me another chance!" A man was kneeling in the yard, covered in blood and begging for mercy. Soon, he was hit on the head, and he fell to the ground. Ten men were standing around the collapsed man, and they all turned to look at Felix in unison. The only man unfazed was a bearded middle-aged man with a cup of coffee in his hands. He sat on the side, sipping almost happily and seemingly enjoying the scene."Mr. Hitchcock!" Trevor exc

The burly man sneered. "We're just following orders. You'd better follow us. Otherwise, you know the consequences."Just as the burly man finished speaking, Felix waved his phone around. "You all should leave quickly. I've already called the police. I checked, and the nearest police station is only 1.8 miles away from here!"Both Lars and Yolanda were stunned—even the burly man was dumbfounded. He had never encountered this before. Everyone knew who Fifteenth Overlord was, yet Felix still dared to call the police?"Fuck! I'll remember you! You'd better visit Fifteenth Overlord, Yolanda. Otherwise, you'll be in even more trouble." The burly man scowled before turning around to his men. "Let's go!"The MPVs left as quickly as they came. When Felix turned to Lars and Yolanda, they both looked ashen. He asked in confusion, "What happened? Why are you guys so pale? They left, didn't they?" Lars smiled bitterly. "It's okay. You just came back. You don't know how terrifying Fifteent
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1243
Lars slammed on the brakes, and the car squealed to a stop. He turned to look at Felix in disbelief. "H-How much did you say?"Felix looked startled and blurted, "My dad said as long as it's not more than ten billion dollars, I can do whatever I want."Lars quickly sucked in a breath of cold air excitedly, turning to look at Yolanda. On the other hand, she was quite composed."Is your family really that rich now, Felix?"She really couldn't believe that her former classmate could be this rich. Yolanda's family had started their business back when she was in elementary school, and it took decades of development to reach this level. It wasn't that she looked down on him, but Felix's words were too unbelievable.If his father dared throw the requirements of less than ten billion dollars to do whatever he wanted, that meant that Felix's family had at least tens of billions of dollars in assets. Otherwise, who would dare do this?It wasn't just an exaggeration. It was simply outrage

After phoning in the dead body, Felix left. He didn't explain much but only said that Bonnie was a Malevolent Phantom and asked to come and dispose of the body. Back on the main road, Felix walked on the sidewalk, planning to walk back to his hotel. However, a car stopped next to him. "Felix!" It was Lars and Yolanda in a Mercedes-Benz G500. Yolanda looked utterly confused in the passenger seat. "Oh, it 'is' you."The tennis court was one of the prestigious courts in Monaire despite being open for around a year. It was also located in the suburbs, so seeing Felix walking on the roadside was odd."Why are you walking?"Felix replied with a smile, "The scenery is really beautiful here, so I plan to walk back. It's still early anyway."Lars rolled his eyes. "Dude, it's over six miles away from the city. Do you actually plan to walk back?"On the side, Yolanda piped up, "Come join us, then. You must've seen enough of the scenery, right?"After some thought, Felix agreed. This w

Bonnie's expression turned ugly. She caught a glimpse of something behind Felix. However, she couldn't see it clearly."Do you really think I'm afraid of you?" She smirked. Knowing how terrifying the spell was, she no longer held back. Black markings surged across her face and instantly covered it.The scene was eerie. At the same time, Felix used his killer move. "Six Word Mantra!"Despite being the same spell, its power had been heavily improved. The Phaeron Projection had no attack power, but once used, it could enhance all of Felix's soul attacks.On the other hand, Bonnie didn't sense a difference. She noticed the projection behind Felix. But because of his current strength, the projection was weak and blurry. As his strength grew, the projection would become clearer and more powerful.A terrifying wave of energy surged toward Bonnie, so she didn't hold back her final trump card. "Dark Shadow!" Instantly, a 32-foot-tall shadow appeared. Its bloody mouth opened as it whist
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1240
Bonnie was obviously stronger in terms of soul mastery—perhaps it was why Felix couldn't sense her realm despite being in his domain. There seemed to be a strange energy that surrounded her.He didn't dare to use his marital artist techniques to attack. Although he had the Infinite Shield, if he wasn't careful, there was a chance to damage his soul. That would be completely catastrophic. In the battle between souls, it was necessary to be completely focused—they were all written in the book given by Billy. "You're quite smart. I thought you were going to attack me with your martial arts." She sounded almost disappointed. She had thought Felix was just another untrained brute, that he would instinctively use his martial arts to fight her. If he did, she would undoubtedly have a chance to beat him."Enough!" Felix exclaimed as he launched the first attack. Lumen flew out, but Bonnie wasn't afraid at all.Something flew out of her body as she exchanged blows with the Lumen. As ex
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1239
Felix had been wondering about how he was going to find the Eight Guardians—but he didn't expect one to show up right in front of him. It seemed like Karina's last attack hadn't been too severe. Otherwise, how did Ashton recover so quickly?In order to rescue Melissa and Ronan, Gerald had set a goal, and Felix had to execute it no matter what. Despite the power of the Eight Guardians, he must take them all down.Without another word, a domain immediately surrounded them, and Felix frowned."You're not Ashton."The energy exuded by this man was definitely of a martial artist, but once in the domain, Felix immediately realized that it was just a man in the early stages of the Transcendent Realm. How the hell could he be Ashton?Before he finished his words, Felix leaped toward the man and grabbed him by the neck. "Tell me! Who are you? Why are you impersonating Ashton?"The man immediately dropped the pretense and fear overtook his expression. "Spare me! It was a woman who tampered

Yolanda smiled bitterly. The idea made sense, but she rejected the thought. "Forget it. You know how large of a sum my financial crisis is! It's 5 billion dollars!"Even the bank blacklisted us and it's impossible to get a loan. Besides, whether it's individuals or companies, who in Monaire has the strength to come up with 5 billion dollars on the spot—except for that bastard."She sighed. "I don't deny that Felix is most likely filthy rich, but 5 billion dollars? That's impossible."Felix sat in the car outside of the tennis court. Everything had been planned after his brief investigation, so, of course, there would be no reason for failure. After discovering their family background, he realized the Zuckerbergs weren't ordinarily rich.It was no wonder they could prevent Serena from marrying into the Warlock family back then. They had everything. It was just a pity that Yolanda's father meddled in the import-export business. Initially, it was successful, creating a big name for th
