The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 534
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

"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

"Averill, I can assure you, your cycle is perfectly normal."In the courtyard of Tranquil Clinic in Eden Village, Felix Zeller slowly lifted his right hand with a look of helplessness.Before him stood six beautiful women, each with a unique charm. They were smiling as they patiently waited in line."But Felix, I don't feel well. Why don't you come to my room and do a thorough checkup?" Averill Davis said suggestively.Felix smiled wryly.Ever since his mentor, Gerald Hoffman, brought him to this village three years ago, he had faced constant teasing from these women, his fellow apprentices.Although he had gotten used to it, it was still tough to handle, especially when they were so alluring."Averill, don't push your luck.""Exactly! It's my turn now. Step aside. Don't even dream about having Felix all by yourself."As Leslie Brown sat in front of him, Felix sighed and pleaded, "Please, can't you all be more like Eloise, Dahlia, and Karina? Focus on your training and stop wa

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

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
