Chapter 593

Author: Dreamy Fire
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

  • The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection   Chapter 594

    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

    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 clasped his hands respectfully. "You're sharp as ever, Mr. Grimwald." He had performed the same motion twice because he had reset the Miracle Card. It was something Magnus had instantly recognized. In that case, Magnus naturally knew this young man was Gerald's disciple. Only two people could reset a Miracle Card, and Felix clearly was not Gerald himself. "Mr. Grimwald, do you actually know him?" Jasper sensed something was off. Everyone else wore shocked expressions too. Who could have guessed Felix really knew Magnus? Especially Ethan, who was ogling at them wide-eyed. He could not accept this reality. If Magnus spoke up for Felix, wouldn't he be able to walk out of Medic's Haven unscathed? How could Ethan get his revenge then? Magnus' eyes flickered as he turned to Jasper. "Oh right, why exactly is he here? Why are you all gathered?" Clearly, he did not know the reason for Felix's visit. Jasper hesitated to speak. Magnus' word was absolute in Medic's Haven. Who w

  • The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection   Chapter 598

    Though Magnus usually wore a kind expression, he now showed his absolute authority in front of everyone. Others held their breath in fear. Even Jasper trembled, afraid of being implicated. They were shocked by how defensive Magnus was of Felix. But they were even more curious about what gave Henrik the courage to challenge the respected Supreme Elder. Surely he hadn't lost his mind over his disciple, had he? To everyone's surprise, Henrik showed no fear. He met Magnus' gaze and said, "What if I choose neither?" Just as Magnus' brows furrowed, a voice rang out. "Magnus, has all that seclusion made your temper worse?" Another elderly man appeared. Though also white-haired, he appeared much more vigorous than Magnus. "Greetings, Mr. Hartford!" Everyone bowed. From the title, Felix realized who this was. It was another Supreme Elder. Magnus understood now. "No wonder this little fellow dares challenge me. I assume he has your backing, Sebastian?" Sebastian Hartford's appearan

  • The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection   Chapter 599

    Everyone stood frozen in shock. Magnus was usually a kind and reclusive Supreme Elder. Who could have imagined him to kill someone suddenly? Besides, he did it right in front of Sebastian. Even Felix was startled. Ethan gaped at where his mentor had been ranting just a minute ago. Now, not even a single intact bone remained. "Magnus, you've gone too far!" Sebastian's expression darkened. He had not expected Magnus to strike so suddenly. "Have I? Have you forgotten those years when we followed our mentor during Medic's Haven's founding? Wasn't he asking for death when he dared do such underhanded tricks before me? I gave him a chance, but he refused it." At these words, Sebastian recalled something and fell silent. Magnus' words rang through the hall. "Remember this! Medic's Haven will function without any of you. Don't think too highly of yourselves." "Yes!" Now in complete despair, Ethan found a strange clarity. He glared and shouted, "Why? I'm the one who practices unde

  • The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection   Chapter 600

    The miracle doctor's name alone was intimidating enough, but they had now learned that their revered founder, Orion, had entered traditional medicine under his guidance. It was no wonder Magnus had been so protective of Felix. Everything made sense now. Those two deaths today were hardly unjustified. Suddenly, Jasper's body trembled as a terrifying thought struck him. Orion had been dead for so many years, and Magnus, his first disciple, was already so old. Wouldn't that mean Gerald… …On the drive back, Felix was enjoying a sausage. The street food at Medic's Haven was excellent, so he had bought plenty to share with Jack, Xena, and the others. "Mr. Zeller, there's something ahead. Let me check it out. Please wait here." After hearing the driver's words, Felix glanced up. Then anger flashed in his eyes. "Stay here. I'll look." A Maybach was blocking the road, and standing beside it was someone Felix recognized. It was Asher. Damn it! Would this never end? Felix stepped

    The sun was setting as Felix returned to Canraville. He had planned to meet Xena, but she had been called to an urgent meeting in Yartford at the last minute. Jack called just as he got home. Felix said, "Perfect timing. I just got back and brought some good food. Let's have a drink." Jack's voice was hushed. "Buddy, we thought you'd gone off the grid." Off the grid? Felix was puzzled. "Nancy called you a few times. Why didn't you pick up?" Jack asked.It was true that Nancy had called three times on Felix's way back. But how could he answer her call? The more they interacted, the more pain it would bring her. "Are you with Nancy right now?" Felix could tell Jack was probably calling from the bathroom. "Yeah, it's her birthday today. She wanted to invite you." Felix sighed. "Just tell her you couldn't reach me either. And ask Nessa to stop playing matchmaker. Nancy's a great girl, but I just can't." "I understand. Wrong timing, I guess," Jack relented.Just as he hung

    "Mr. Hoffman?" Felix muttered. No wonder Delilah had shown up in person."Why didn't Mr. Hoffman just call me?" he asked.Delilah shrugged, raising both hands. "Because it's not convenient. If you make one choice, I can report back and be done with it, saving everyone the time."Felix nodded, finally curious about this big choice. Then, Delilah asked, "Zara, the one with Twinshade Body, came to see you, didn't she?"That caught Felix off guard. "How do you know about that?"Delilah rolled her eyes with a little smirk. If one of her fans saw her like this, they would probably faint from the shock.She explained, "It's not like I'm psychic. Mr. Hoffman told me. Ever since you left Martial City and came back, he's had Ophelia keeping an eye on Zara the whole time, so of course he knows."Ophelia? That explained why he had not seen her around since coming back. "So, what's the choice Mr. Hoffman wants me to make? Is it really about Zara?"Delilah nodded firmly. "Exactly. Mr. Hoff

    Donna said, "Felix, Specter's the kind of guy who'll stop at nothing. I'll hold back and observe for now, but if you really prove you've got what it takes, I'll act like I never even saw that woman."…Later, Zara was resting her chin in both palms with a sweet, innocent smile on her face. She hummed, "Mhm!"Felix let out a groan and rubbed his face. "Don't just say 'mhm'! Did you even understand what I just told you?"After piecing together everything Donna had said, Felix laid it all out for Zara. Since Specter could strike at any time and Zara still did not know what Malevolent Phantoms even were, he figured she needed to hear it all."Of course I understood. Relax, honey. I'm not stupid," Zara replied casually. Since she got it, Felix finally let himself relax, too. A weight lifted off his chest, and for the first time in a while, he really looked at Zara's flawless face. He thought, "Yeah—there's no way I can hold back anymore."He said, "Let's take care of something… imp

  • The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection   Chapter 1349

    Felix finally snapped out of it. Just moments ago, Donna had looked so grim, claiming something big was about to happen. Yet now, after her whole speech, it was all about the benefits of Zara being a Hollow Soul.Donna said, "Hollow Soul has a unique trait. If consumed, it can greatly boost your chances of success.""Consumed?" That one word made Felix's face darken instantly. "Success in what exactly?"Donna had tried to be vague, but there was no way Felix did not get the implication. To put it bluntly, she was talking about eating Zara's soul."Whether you're stuck at a plateau in your cultivation, your soul is mutating, or you're trying to master powerful soul-based techniques—offensive or defensive—if it's soul-related, Hollow Soul can drastically increase your chances of success."Felix's expression shifted as something came rushing back to him. Billy had once told him that when the Mystical Explosive Orb absorbed enough soul essence to reach capacity, it could be used to re

  • The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection   Chapter 1348

    Donna added one more thing, her tone grave, "All of S-tier Malevolent Phantoms build our defenses entirely with soul energy. You've clashed with Specter twice now—you should know this already. "So, if your wife ever charged straight at one of us, those terrifying, nearly impenetrable defenses we rely on would shatter like cheap glass in front of her. Hollow Soul breaks right through."That was when it all finally clicked for Felix. Hollow Soul was not just rare—it was a natural-born nemesis to any soul cultivator. Anyone with even a hint of alternative strength could put up a fight, but for beings like Malevolent Phantoms, who relied purely on soul energy, the only real option was to run.Moreover, Zara was not just some non-combatant with a powerful trait. She was the real deal—peak of Grandmaster Realm. With that in mind, Specter's retreat made perfect sense.He asked, "She can't sense the Hollow Soul trait herself, right?"Donna nodded. "Yeah. Unless someone actually explains

    Felix urged, "What do you mean by that? Can you not talk in riddles right now?"He was practically squirming with anticipation. It was the first time he had ever seen Donna—an S-tier Malevolent Phantom—so hesitant to speak."Can I say this in front of her?" Donna asked, glancing toward Zara.Felix nodded without hesitation. If it were anyone else, maybe he would have kept them out of the conversation, but Zara was not like other people. Right now, the only thing that seemed to stir her emotions was Felix—absolutely nothing else.Seeing his response, Donna finally spoke up, "Hollow Soul can completely ignore all soul-based attacks, including soul-bound weapons.""What?" Felix stood frozen. He honestly was not sure he had heard her right. The possibility of something being immune to all soul-based attacks sounded ridiculous. And then, a memory flashed—Specter had tried to obliterate his soul, and the attack had clearly been launched. However, the moment Zara showed up, it all ju

    Donna said, "Alright. I agree to your terms. And don't worry—when Malevolent Phantoms give our word, we mean it. Specter showing up like that was a complete surprise to me, too. I never imagined he'd go that far off the rails."Seeing that Felix had finally cooled down, Donna spoke again, "Take out the Mystical Explosive Orb. The imprint Specter placed on it has a time limit. If you wait too long, it'll fade."Felix thought that made sense. If anyone could just take someone else's Mystical Explosive Orb and casually absorb their soul essence, the entire system would have collapsed a long time ago. With that in mind, he pulled out the orb and gripped it in his right hand. Donna leaned forward and tapped Specter's orb against it. In an instant, a surge of soul energy shot straight into Felix's soul. The rush was just as satisfying as killing a Malevolent Phantom directly, and the amount was no joke."I'll be heading out now," Donna said, turning to leave.Felix called after her, "W

    At the edge of Zuera, near the city border, Felix met with Donna. For now, he kept Zara in the car and did not ask her to step out.Felix teased, "I'm guessing S-tier Malevolent Phantoms like you are too proud to ever say 'sorry' to someone like me, huh?"Donna nodded. "This time, it was my mistake. I didn't expect Specter to be bold enough to pull something like that."To say Felix was not angry would have been a lie—he had nearly lost his life because of this. Of course, he had every right to be furious.He argued, "A mistake? Do you even realize that your so-called 'mistake' almost got my soul erased from existence? Then again, judging by how Specter behaved, "It's clear he wasn't interested in the Mystical Explosive Orb, which means you didn't lose a damn thing. You can just move on and pick your next partner like nothing happened."Donna knew she was in the wrong and did not try to reason.Felix continued, "I just don't get it! Zuera's S-tier Phantoms wouldn't let you in,

    Terrence's eyes were surprisingly clear as he gave Felix a faint smile. He said, "I'm a dead man anyway, so why worry about all that? Even if I hadn't told you, I doubt you would've fallen for the trick. I could tell from the way you fought—you're too sharp for that."He looked at Felix, his gaze distant with a hint of nostalgia. He added, "Felix, I believe you're one of the few who'll truly shake the world in the days to come. Let me go in peace. If you can, cremate me. I've never liked the idea of rotting underground."Felix pressed a finger to Terrence's forehead, and the latter closed his eyes.Felix still did not dare use soul search on any of Eight Guardians—mainly because of the Ancient Sage. Just thinking back to Bonnie was proof enough that the Ancient Sage's expertise in soul techniques ran deep. There was no saying what kind of protections or traps were in place, and one misstep could backfire in ways Felix could not afford. Besides, the Guardians were not going around

  • The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection   Chapter 1343

    Felix finally felt relaxed once they arrived in Zuera. For now, it looked like Specter was not coming back—at least not anytime soon. Still, he needed to check with Donna to know for sure.He said, "Zara, give me a minute."Right now, the priority was getting some answers out of Terrence. That mattered more than anything else. Otherwise, Felix would have already killed him instead of dragging him back here.In the hotel suite, Terrence lay half-dead on the bed, barely conscious. Yet, when Felix walked in, he actually smiled.He said calmly, "Getting killed by someone like you? Honestly, I've got no regrets. Ask whatever you want. I'll tell you what I can. But if it's something I'm not supposed to reveal, not even a soul search will get it out of me."Felix did not doubt that at all. After all, Eight Guardians served directly under the Ancient Sage—a figure whose power and methods were far beyond anything Felix could predict or afford to mess with. Especially since that exact figur
