Nala's body trembled hard as she spoke. She had spent one of her few ultimate trump cards just to verify Victor's words. It was something that could save her life in a crucial moment, but it was now wasted. This showed how powerful this mysterious person was. Nala could not even meet her in person, and she had to pay such a steep price for an answer. "I was wrong for underestimating you! I can't believe you could contact her at this time." Victor's face turned ashen. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. "Uncle Victor!" Asher rushed over and glared at Nala. "It's not her fault. My time has come." Blood now flowed from his nose, ears, and even his eyes. Even Nala's expression changed. What kind of illness could cause such a horrific death? "Felix, it's my fault. It's all my fault!" Both tears and blood poured from his eyes. "Of course, she wouldn't admit it now that you've managed to contact her! It's all my fault. Instead of giving my son hope, I've put him in great da

Malcolm was dead! He was the eldest son of the Crayden family–one of the Eight Great Martial Families. Was he really dead? Besides, Felix announced it as if he had witnessed it himself. Logically, this should have caused massive waves in their circles. Yet, they had not heard a whisper of it till meeting Felix today. George was startled when they reached the entrance. "Who are you waiting for, Dad?" The middle-aged man nearby was George's father, Reginald Zimmerman. After hearing George, he turned and hurried over. "Felix, you're here already!" Reginald exclaimed.Felix nodded. "Yes, Uncle Reginald. Were you here waiting for me?" "Of course! This little rascal didn't even tell me you'd arrived." His sincerity was obvious. George explained, "Dad, I saw you were busy entertaining your friends, so I thought I'd welcome Mr. Zeller myself." Though pleased with his son's relationship with Felix, Reginald knew proper etiquette was important. After all, Felix's support would decid

Their appearance at the front table seemed conspicuous. That was because even the youngest person seated there was in their 40s. Though Felix wanted to invite Madeline and Luke over, they declined. Sometimes, they had to know their place to avoid seeming presumptuous. Just as they sat down, an older woman appeared. "Aunt Victoria!" George stood and bowed respectfully. "The head of the Zimmerman family hasn't officially announced who their heir would be. But George's uncle, Xavier Zimmerman, basically runs things now. His wife, Victoria Morgan, is quite the shrewd operator," Ryan whispered to Felix. Felix stayed quiet. When George asked for his help, he could already guess this involved family politics. "George, is this the guy who caused trouble to the Walsh family from Aleshire, Felix Zeller? I hear you're good friends with him, aren't you?" "Yes, Aunt Victoria." Since they were not allies, Felilx saw no need to be overly polite to her. Besides, the look in Victoria's

"Lady Grey, you should have told us you were coming! I would have greeted you outside!" All eyes turned toward the voice. No one else had made such a grand entrance, so this was clearly someone extraordinary. Oddly enough, the one who had greeted her was not Reginald, who was having his birthday today. It was his brother, Dominic Zimmerman, instead. Many people thought it was strange. "George, what's going on? Your uncle seems like he's trying to steal the spotlight." Hearing Ryan's words, George furrowed his brows too. "I had no idea about this. When did Uncle Dominic get to know people from the Elders' Council? And this woman called Lady Grey must hold quite a position there. Felix looked over. "Have you guys heard of the Elders' Council too?" Now, it was their turn to be surprised. Ryan quickly explained, "The Elders' Council is an organization created by the Eight Great Martial Families. Of course, we know it. Is this your first time hearing about it, Mr. Zeller?" Felix

"The third-generation Grandmaster of Moonshadow Alliance should be here by now. Let me call and check," Felix said.George gave a bitter smile. "Mr. Zeller, don't bother! It's not your fault. No one expected Uncle Dominic to have this ace up his sleeve. Even if Moonshadow Alliance showed up now, it wouldn't help." Seeing Felix's confusion, Ryan whispered an explanation, "Moonshadow Alliance is indeed powerful in Dragonia, and few dare disrespect them as you saw with the Walsh family. "But the Eight Great Martial Families are beyond that league. Moonshadow Alliance could barely challenge one or two of the lowest-ranked families, and that's only with their founder involved. "George's uncle has actually managed to invite Lady Grey of the Elders' Council. She seems influential just from her title. Offending her would mean making enemies of all Eight Great Martial Families. After all, the Council represents them." Could Moonshadow Alliance barely challenge the lowest-ranked familie
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 587
Felix whirled around to look. The seat beside him had been empty as it was reserved for the third-generation Grandmaster of Moonshadow Alliance, Christie. Now, someone sat there. He would not have noticed if it had not been for George's dramatic reaction. But this seemed impossible. With Felix's capabilities, he should have noticed someone approaching so close even without actively sensing it. And yet… "Karina?" Felix was dumbfounded. The person suddenly sitting beside him was his fellow apprentice Karina. George and Ryan were too shocked by her sudden appearance to notice how casually he was addressing her, or they would have asked questions. After all, they were martial artists too, and they had not seen her arrive. "What? Are you not happy to see me?" Karina was dressed casually today. She was wearing light blue jeans and a yellow T-shirt with her hair tied up. "Of course I am. I was just quite surprised," Felix said.Upon seeing them chatting with each other, the other t

"She's my godsister," Felix replied.Karina did not even bother to get up. She just nodded to greet them. Victoria immediately seized this opportunity to insult them. "Hah! One person gets invited, and the whole family has to come along and eat! Why are you even bringing your relatives to a birthday party? "What, have you never been to such a fancy event before, Felix? And this godsister of yours is ill-mannered as you. Everyone else is standing while you two stay seated." Dominic was harsher. He even pointed toward the exit. "Both of you, get out! What an embarrassment. George, if you ever bring friends like this to public events again, I will throw you out of the family." Felix's body tensed at these words. Stiffly, he turned to look at Karina. Their eyes met as she asked casually, "Can I kill them?" Felix gulped. This was his worst fear. In normal circumstances, Dominic and Victoria would already be headless. The fact she was asking showed she was really trying to respect

Of course, Reginald understood what George meant. He had just been too shocked. Who could have imagined Felix's godsister would have such authority over Pearly? "Mr. Zeller, allow me to toast your godsister." He did not dare address Karina directly, so he spoke to Felix instead, who was closer to him. "Sorry, Uncle Reginald. Karina doesn't drink." Her coming here was already pushing limits. There was no way she would get up and drink. "Of course, of course. I'll drink to show my respect then. Please enjoy yourselves." Reginald could not care less about the refusal. He was overjoyed. Dominic thought he was so powerful, yet his "important guest" had been immediately put in her place. It served them right! Standing there, Dominic and Victoria's expressions were dark, but they did not dare to make a sound. After all, what could they do if even Pearly had run away in disgrace? "Karina, you can go now," Felix said.Karina nodded. "Alright." George's matter was essentially res

Delilah said, "Your words have brought back memories. That old man is cunning and sly. While I don't consider him a real threat, removing him won't be a simple task. "He comes from the royal lineage and holds a high position as the general of the city's defense forces. His demise would not go unnoticed by the royal family." Felix was smart, but Delilah's tone hinted that there was more to the story. It seemed like she still had some limitations in Martial City, and there were certain individuals she couldn't risk angering."But don't worry," Delilah reassured. "I can easily transfer him out of North City to ensure your safety while you’re here." With that taken care of, Delilah got down to business. "I've already submitted your application for the Intermediate Alchemy Assessment. It will take place in five days at Harmony Clinic's headquarters. Unfortunately, I won't be able to accompany you. I made a promise to an old friend to refine some pills for him. Your presence has cau

Jeremy was known for his ruthless nature. With a flick of his hand, he sent an invisible force toward Mindy. She had no time to even scream before she collapsed in a pool of blood, her final sound unheard. Despite murdering his own family member, Jeremy acted as though it were no big deal and even managed to force a smile. "You can make one more request," he offered casually. Once again, Felix was reminded of the heartlessness of the inhabitants of Martial City. It was a place where strength equaled power. "Release Laura. From now on, she has no relation with the Larsson family."Jeremy waved his right hand again, and the ropes binding Laura snapped. She landed safely beside Felix. "Let's go," Felix said. With a deep exhale, Jeremy finally relaxed, only to come face-to-face with Jared. "Jeremy, I believe I'm owed an explanation, don't you think?" Jeremy narrowed his eyes at Jared. If this guy weren't the son of a high-ranking general in the city defense forces, he would ha
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 978
At that moment, Felix became aware of Jared's presence and realized the situation. Jared rose from his seat as well. "Felix, I had a feeling you'd show up to rescue Laura. "That's why I informed the head of the Larsson family beforehand, anticipating your attempt to deceive them by posing as Madam Goddard's disciple."Laura, who was in the process of getting hung, desperately wanted to say something. However, she had been silenced and could not utter a single word. The look in her eyes displayed a silent plea for Felix to leave as soon as possible and not to worry about her. If they both stayed, they would never be able to escape. However, Felix ignored her and remarked coldly, "So, you don't believe me?"Jeremy's eyes narrowed as if he were staring at something beneath him. "So today you're Madam Goddard's disciple," he scoffed. "What about tomorrow? Will another kid come along and claim to be Mr. Earnhart's disciple? And what about the day after that? It's absurd, and here

The locations of Harmony Clinic and the Larsson residence were in completely opposite directions. Jared speculated that at Felix's speed, there was no way he could make it to both places in time to save Laura. So, once Felix made his move, he was certain to go to the Larsson residence. To guarantee the success of this plan, Jared threatened one of Andrew's subordinates with life or death, forcing them to block all signals in the area surrounding Harmony Clinic.After all, Andrew held a high-ranking position in the city defense forces and had the power to make this happen. In Martial City, one of the four major cities under the rule of the royal family alongside Imperial City, various families held power and influence. However, they are all subordinate to the royal family, and their city defense forces are under their command.As time went by, in a courtyard belonging to the Larsson family in North City, Laura hung from a rope. Though she didn't show any visible signs of physical

It was clear to Felix that Laura was struggling to live within the Larsson family. Despite not sharing her troubles with him, he could sense her discomfort from the get-go. It was telling that she didn't even have skilled bodyguards by her side, especially considering the size and influence of the Larsson family in North City. It was unthinkable for them not to provide proper protection for their direct kin.Mindy said, "I am here to inform you that Laura has been confined to the water dungeon due to her involvement in an inappropriate relationship with a member of our household staff. She will face execution in 30 minutes. "If you have already had any relations with her, consider yourself fortunate. It is acknowledged that she possesses considerable physical attractiveness. However, if not, then it is indeed unfortunate for you."Mindy left without saying another word. Felix's expression became stern and disapproving. It was absurd to accuse Laura of having an affair with a me

Bern stood up and pointed a trembling finger at Felix. "No one stop me! I'm going to beat this little show-off into a pulp right now!"However, no one even attempted to stop him! Delilah was laughing wholeheartedly, and Natalie was dumbfounded.This was Felix's first time refining an intermediate pill; he not only succeeded in three attempts but also made six pills? It was so terrifying that it was hard to describe. Yet, throughout all this, he was more worried about the outcome."Sit down, Bernie! You know nothing at all! My disciple has high ambitions. And here I thought he was as easily satisfied as you!"Delilah's eyes sparkled with joy. This was indeed her beloved disciple. She was also surprised by the success rate of his first intermediate refinement."Felix, making six pills on your first try has already broken the record of the alchemists of Martial City! If you don't believe me, you can ask old Bernie here how many pills he had made on his first try."Bern calmed down,

"You truly hit the nail on the coffin, girl! Felix is a perfect match for you. If he doesn't get the Ice Dragon furnace, who else would?" Delilah exclaimed.Huh? A couple? Natalie's expression quickly changed. Her? Coupled with that pervert? That was absolutely impossible!"Alright, alright, Nattie. Since Delilah is asking for it for once, I cannot refuse. As for whether you get with him or not, that's for you youngins to decide. We won't care about the matchmaking," Bern said with a chuckle.Immediately, a silver-white furnace appeared. There were two dragons carved on each side—a total of four dragons. On the silver surface of the furnace, the dragons truly looked like they were real. "I've lifted the restrictions on it. Now, let's allow Felix to try." The smile on Delilah's face grew even wider. "Ah, you old man, you're still so kind. Let's wait until he comes out before letting him try it. He's refining the Breath Concealment pill currently."Bern nodded. "Alright. Then let

In the end, Delilah still chose not to hold a ceremony to accept him as a disciple. She knew that Felix was still harboring a secret, and although they were mentor-mentees, they still respected each other.She was very happy that they could acknowledge each other as mentor-mentees in public without having to hide it anymore. Soon, Felix went to the secret room in Harmony Clinic to try the intermediate refinement process for the first time. Meanwhile, Atlas had already contacted an elder of the family."Herbert, I just received news from the spy at Harmony Clinic. Felix Zeller had just been accepted as Delilah's disciple!"On the other end, Herbert wondered for a long time before replying, "This complicates things. If he was merely a genius at Harmony Clinic, your earlier assumptions would've been right. "But since Felix was accepted as Delilah's disciple, this is a little difficult to deal with! I can't guarantee anything—but two things are certain. First, Harmony Clinic will st

"Impressive! No wonder you're someone who practices Dragons Destroyer. If your family hadn't practiced it before, I would've been shocked by your terrifying martial arts talent. Haha! "This is just another benefit of having the true Dragonspine. Otherwise, how could you reach the Physical Refinement Realm so fast?" Atlas laughed.Felix shook his head again. "Is it necessary to say such things to comfort yourself? I can practice the Dragons Destroyer. I think that speaks for itself."Atlas's smile immediately vanished with those words. "Well, whether you want to or not, you'll come with me today! A mere Physical Refinement Realm martial artist means nothing to me!" "Alright, then let's see if you're able to make me go with you," Felix said as he stood up. The shutter door was pulled aside just as they were about to fight. "Two grown men with the door closed in broad daylight? What are you two doing in here?"Atlas turned around fiercely and was about to angrily spit out the wor
