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

Madeline smiled without saying anything. Forget her marriage to Luke. She knew well that even the pasta business would not have been this smooth without Felix's help. Starting a business meant dealing with countless officials and stakeholders. Only Luke's sister's connections made it so easy. And those conveniences did not fall from the sky—they came through Felix. "Maddy, you should go. I'll head to the airport myself," Felix said.Felix's sudden words seemed odd to Madeline until she spotted someone approaching aggressively. "Okay. I'm planning to visit Canraville in a few days. We'll meet up with Jack then." Almost as soon as Madeline left, Asher stood before Felix with cold eyes. "Come with me!" Despite the commanding tone, Felix remained calm. "Are we that close?" Asher tried to grab him. It was impressive that he had reached the Ultimate Mortal Realm at such a young age, but he was no match for Felix. When Asher's arm was caught, his whole body became immobilized. "

Xena came home to find a table full of food that night. Puzzled, she turned to Alice Gunner, their housekeeper. "Are we having company tonight?" Alice said with a smile, "I'm not sure. Mr. Summers Senior just asked me to prepare all this food." Her grandfather did? Xena figured Curtis must be expecting friends over since nothing else made sense. "You're home, Xena. Wash up and join me for a drink." As Curtis walked down the stairs, he beamed like a teenager in love. Xena stared at him, dumbfounded. "What's got you in such high spirits, Grandpa?" "Let's discuss it over dinner." While Xena poured them both some wine, her curiosity burned. "Can you tell me now?" As it turned out, this feast was not for guests. He was just in a great mood. "My greatest burden has finally been lifted. Isn't that worth celebrating?" Xena did not even know he had any burdens. "Will you tell me about it?" Curtis nodded. His eyes were filled with nostalgia and memories. "Long ago, I hurt som

"Yes. Let's start dating after you come back from Medic's Haven," Xena said.Felix stood there stunned for a long moment before asking, "Are you serious? What about your grandfather?" "He's given us his blessing and said he won't interfere anymore. I'm not sure exactly what changed his mind, but he's approved." Felix could barely contain his excitement. His feelings for Xena were genuine. And now that he had a chance to cure Madam Spring's poison without dying in the process, everything seemed perfect. Without thinking, he swept Xena up in his arms and spun her around. She did not resist his actions either. After dedicating so many years to her career and reaching the pinnacle as the Phoenix Warlord, perhaps it was also time to find happiness in love. There was nowhere higher to climb professionally, so why not have it all? …Later, Felix met up with Edmund. They then flew to a remote city where a car awaited them at the airport. "Is it your first time visiting Medic's Ha

The man approaching was none other than Ethan. "Hah, looks like Medic's Haven hasn't been standing still these past years." Felix smiled. The poison he had used was not particularly sophisticated, but it was not something just anyone could detect and neutralize either. "Are you admitting that you've poisoned me then?" As Ethan walked closer, his smile vanished. He never would have imagined that someone could poison him without detection. After all, he was considered a rising star at Medic's Haven. If he hadn't happened to deliver something to a Supreme Elder, he would be dead by now. Instead of answering, Felix turned to Edmund, who had not said a word since they arrived. "So bringing me here to 'resolve things' was just a cover for my execution, wasn't it?" Edmund sighed. "Felix, I'm sorry, but my hands are tied. Poisoning a member of Medic's Haven is an act of war against our entire organization. If Lady Summers hadn't become involved, we would have taken you by force inste

Felix kept buying snacks along the way since he really was hungry. Meanwhile, Ethan had to trail behind like a servant as he grudgingly paid for everything. When they reached a grand hall, Felix did not need to guess what it was. Ethan's excited expression said it all. This was where the leader of Medic's Haven was. "Want to bet you'll be the one dying today instead? Just wait and see," Felix challenged.Ethan scoffed at this absurd claim and followed Felix inside with a cold smile. The hall was lined with two rows of wooden armchairs, all occupied by elders. Edmund took the only empty seat. At the head of the room sat a middle-aged man. That was probably Jasper Blackthorn himself. "Mr. Blackthorn! This is Felix Zeller, the scum who attacked me in front of the law enforcement team and poisoned me in secret!" After his outburst, Ethan fell silent. He knew better than to speak out of turn before Jasper and the elders. While Jasper studied Felix silently, an elderly man slapped
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 595
Ethan's expression kept shifting. Jasper had always been known for his swift decisions, so why was he dragging out Felix's judgment like this? Pocketing his phone, Felix shook his head slightly. "Let me ask you something. What proof do you have that I poisoned Ethan? And have you even investigated his actions?" While Jasper remained expressionless, Henrik sneered and said, "Medic's Haven's reputation speaks for itself. Ethan is my disciple, and his character is impeccable. He's always stayed true to our mission of healing. What's there to investigate? "As for the poisoning, you must have done it if he says so! After all, he's a trustworthy man." Felix laughed. "Incredible. So this is what Medic's Haven has become? If the founder of Medic's Haven knew, he'd be rolling in his grave!" Instantly, murderous intent filled the hall. Every elder jumped to their feet in rage. They would have torn Felix to pieces right there if Jasper had not held his silence. Even Edmund frowned dee

Finally, they had reached the heart of the matter. Magnus was their most senior Supreme Elder, and no one knew his exact age. He never appeared even at Medic's Haven's grandest ceremonies. How could he possibly show up for some unknown person like Felix? It would be a joke if they entertained everyone who claimed to know Magnus. Would Magnus possibly show up and verify each claim personally every time? Ethan remained unconcerned. He knew Jasper's caution stemmed from that incident five years ago and Felix's connection to Xena. But none of that mattered now since Felix would surely die. Less than ten minutes later, Jasper returned. This time, he stood near Felix instead of taking his seat. "Welcome, Mr. Grimwald!" All the elders hurriedly stood, their faces shocked. Impossible! Magnus had actually come? "Welcome, Mr. Grimwald!" Whatever their thoughts were, they had to show proper respect to Magnus. As someone coughed, Felix heard an elderly voice. "I want to see the youngs

Felix's face was completely expressionless. "There's no point in saying all this now. What I want to know is—why are you here?"He did not even care about the reason behind the lie anymore. He was about to walk into a battlefield where life and death were up in the air—he had no time to deal with drama, but seeing Xena here was still a surprise.Xena took a deep breath and looked serious. "Can you let Specter go for now? I'm not defending a Malevolent Phantom—I just mean, maybe you could deal with the others first?"Felix frowned hard, and he stared at her like she had just grown a second head. "I can't believe those words actually came out of your mouth. You're the Phoenix Warlord, and you better give me a damn good reason for that."Xena felt her heart sink—there was no way she could tell him the real reason. "Please, Felix. Just let him go for now. I promise I'll explain everything later."At that point, Felix knew there was no way of getting answers from her, so he stepped for

Felix frowned. It had only been one night since he had asked Xena to look into Specter, so he honestly did not expect any results yet. However, Hector's words threw him off, making him feel uneasy.He asked, "Mr. Downy, are you saying you've already found a lead on Specter, but Xena didn't tell me?"Hector confirmed it without hesitation because Xena was nowhere near his level in terms of both trust and how long they had known each other. He explained, "That's right. I only found out because someone from Skynet happened to report it, and once I realized it was someone you were personally looking for, I told them to prioritize it. "Then, I found out Xena hadn't said a word to you—so yeah, I figured I'd step in. Whatever's going on between you two is your business, but I'll send you the address now."Hector even chuckled a little, clearly thinking Felix and Xena were just having a lover's spat. He had no clue how much that information shook Felix to the core.Meanwhile, Felix quest

Billy said enthusiastically, "You know what, Felix? Other than Mr. Hoffman, you're the only person I truly respect! Seriously, you've got a family, you've reached a level most people can only dream of, you're swimming in money, and yet you're still out there on the front lines. "And now you're about to risk your life again for everyone else. I heard from Mr. Hoffman about those Star Alliance tournaments. The death rates are so high it's basically insane, so you should know what I'm trying to say."Felix gave a bitter smile. "If everyone backs down, then what future is there? Back in the early days of Dragonia, before I was even born, our ancestors gave their blood and lives so we could live the way we do now."If it weren't for them paving the way, I wouldn't even have the chance to risk my life—hell, a single bomb could've dropped on me the moment I was born, and that would've been the end of it." Billy gave him a thumbs up and chuckled. "That's exactly why I admire you, man. Al

Felix turned his head. He wore a slightly strange expression as he asked, "Starmark? What's that supposed to be?"Donna stared at him for a long moment before finally speaking. "Nothing. Just a powerful soul-bound item. I thought maybe you'd come across it."Felix did not say another word and stepped out of the car. There was no way he would tell Donna about the Starmark. No matter how useful she was, she was still a Malevolent Phantom—and trust had its limits.After watching Felix disappear into the distance, Donna drove a few blocks before pulling out her phone and dialing Specter."What is it?" Specter answered, voice flat.Donna's gaze was unreadable. "Listen carefully, Specter. You need to lay low for a while—go underground and stay there. Don't make yourself visible."Laughter echoed through the speaker. "Seriously? You make it sound like my life's in danger. That's not something you can just casually say without giving me a reason." Donna knew he would not take it seriou

Time ticked by in silence, the tension thick in the air. Then, without warning, Daphne's eyes lit up as she looked past Felix's shoulder. "Donna!"Felix did not even bother turning around. With his domain already activated, he had sensed exactly who was approaching.So, Daphne had not been lying and had really brought an S-tier Malevolent Phantom. The only twist? Felix knew this one—it was Donna, the one he was close with."Donna, this guy seriously waited here like an idiot for you to show up. Kill him already," Daphne said with a smug grin.Her tone dripped with mockery, and she looked at Felix like she was watching a slow-motion train wreck—he had waited for an S-tier to arrive, and now it was too late to run."Didn't expect Malevolent Phantoms to have something like sibling bonds," Felix said.Donna's expression barely changed as she replied, "It's just a personal interest. Nothing more. And even if I told you not to... would that even matter?"Felix nodded slightly. "Exactl

Felix turned around and looked straight at Daphne. She was leaning lazily against the alley wall, arms crossed, her whole posture relaxed and indifferent.Felix remarked coldly, "Playing hero? I wouldn't argue with that. But hearing that from a Malevolent Phantom just doesn't sit right."He had not originally planned to step in, but something about her had felt off. A woman who looked like that throwing herself at a bunch of trashy-looking thugs? It did not add up. So, he activated his Spirit Eye—sure enough, she was a Malevolent Phantom.Back then, Felix would not have dared to stare directly at one. But now that he had reached the Ethercore Realm and had the strength to rival an S-tier Malevolent Phantom, average ones would not even detect he was watching. So, he did not hold back.That one line made Daphne pause, visibly surprised. "Interesting. You must be pretty strong to see through my disguise without me even noticing." Felix let out a cold chuckle. "For an A-tier Malevole

As the sun dipped below the horizon, Felix sat alone at a small street-side barbecue joint, deep in thought. He was still wondering when he should tell Cordelia and Nerissa about the Starmark. After all, this could very well be the beginning of a final goodbye.Aside from preparing for the Ancient Sage, he had another pressing goal—he needed to push his soul cultivation even further over the next three months. The stronger he became, the better his chances of winning the championship.The fastest path forward was through the Mystical Explosive Orb. Now that he had the power to take on an S-tier Malevolent Phantom, it was time to plan things out properly. Before, he had to keep a low profile because of the looming second wave, but now that the Starmark gave him a clear path, there was no need to keep hiding his strength. Still, he would need Donna's help since there was no way he could find an S-tier Malevolent Phantom on his own, especially the first one he wanted to hunt—Specter

Facing off against the Ancient Sage would make most martial artists freeze. His legendary feats were endless, and his reputation alone was enough to send people running. Even so, Felix looked straight at Gerald and didn't hesitate.He said, "I'm in. If I can't even handle the Ancient Sage, then I've got no business entering some interstellar tournament under the Star Alliance."His three seniors looked at him with loving concern, clearly pained to see him risk so much—especially since part of it was for their sake. Only Gerald laughed out loud. " That's the answer I was hoping for. If you'd said no, I would've personally stepped in to shut my little brother down so he couldn't come after you."He raised two fingers and continued with a serious tone. "You're two full stages below Extreme Mastery. Even with Lone Paragon on your side, the chances of being one-shot by the Ancient Sage are still very real—every powerhouse has their trump cards."But honestly, he doesn't even need to u

As he spoke, Gerald raised his hand slightly. "You don't need to know the names of every level, but let me just say this—Dragon Rebirth is a phenomenal technique. Across the universe, it's considered extraordinary. "And paired with your soul power, if you really want to increase your chances of winning that championship, you'd better reach the extreme mastery of martial cultivation. Right now on Earth, aside from me and your seniors, only three others have reached that stage. If you want to win, you must push yourself to that level, even if the bar is high."It was a realm Felix had never even heard of before. And from Gerald's tone, the fact that he did not even bother explaining the earlier levels proved just how crucial this one was."From what you're saying, I'm guessing the Ancient Sage and that guy who protects the country are probably both at that level. So, who's the third one?"Gerald's expression confirmed he had guessed right. "Billy's mentor."Felix thought that made
