The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 596
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
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 597
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 Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 601
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
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 602
Another member of the Eight Great Martial Families? That made sense, considering Rosalyn was Jeffrey's friend."Hello, Mr. Zeller." Rosalyn put on no airs when she gave a slight bow with nervous eyes. "Hello. If you're ready, let's begin." Felix had already pinpointed the Dragonspine on her body. The thing was not large, so it was easy to conceal. When he first saw a Dragonspine, Felix had asked Gerald why it was so small. Shouldn't a dragon's spine be massive? Gerald's honest answer was that he did not know either. "Yes. Let's go to the bedroom."After saying that, Rosalyn walked ahead. Felix whispered teasingly to Jeffrey, "Is she your girlfriend?" Though Felilx seemed to be joking, he actually wanted to learn more about her to figure out how to get the Dragonspine. "Don't get the wrong idea, Mr. Zeller. We're just friends. Besides, I'm engaged. I'll be getting married soon," Jeffrey replied.Felix smiled without comment and followed Rosalyn. He closed the door behind th
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 603
The atmosphere in the bedroom was incredibly awkward. Rosalyn kept her head down as she was torn by indecision. Her opponent had been devious enough to land the Glacial Strike right on her bottom. More importantly, it had affected part of her thigh too. This meant that treatment would require exposing not just half but her entire bottom to access the thigh area. "Isn't… isn't there another way?" Rosalyn asked.Felix gave a wry smile. "If there was, I'd have suggested it already. I need to apply acupuncture at the source to completely dispel the rimefrost energy. Of course, it's up to you whether you want to do it." Meanwhile, Felix was still plotting how to get the Dragonspine. He could sense it precisely now. It was located near Rosalyn's waist. After about a minute, Rosalyn took a deep breath and bravely raised her head. "Jeff speaks very highly of you, and healers have professional ethics. I'm just a patient to you anyway. Please proceed with the treatment." Felix nodded.

Felix nodded and said, "Exactly. Let's investigate quickly." Because of the Malevolent Phantoms, headquarters' main focus was now cases related to them. Regular cases were handed over to law enforcement so personnel could be mobilized incredibly fast. After leaving the scene, Felix went home to wait for the results. At sunset, Marley arrived. "You were right, Mr. Zeller. The young woman with the lingering fragrance definitely had body odor before her death." Felix got excited, reviewing the materials while asking, "Did you guys figure out why they were at the abandoned building?" That was the first crime scene, and Felix was sure of it. The fact that these people would go to such a remote location seemed suspicious. "Yes, we did. They would occasionally record videos about paranormal stuff. They go to scary places, then post online to gain attention and make some extra cash. "They had finished filming at the abandoned building and were probably preparing to leave when the
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1199
It had only been one day since the A-tier Malevolent Phantom had last attacked. Was it losing its mind?Felix's face darkened. He didn't say a word. He just stood up and hung up the phone. "Sorry. I've got an urgent matter to handle." Normally, Angie would have thought this was incredibly rude. He had come asking for a favor, yet he was leaving so abruptly. But after what just happened, everything had changed. "Lindsay, did you really not know Dreamscape is Felix's cousin?" Lindsay gave a bitter smile. "Do I look like I know? Even if I did, I'm not the type to go begging for help." Her frustrated smile just deepened Angie's confusion. "Wow, you've just thrown me a major curveball! Felix has a connection like that, and I'm trying to find him a job? It's like teaching a professional chef how to boil water." But Lindsay saw things differently. "Angie, I can't say I know Felix super well. But from our school days and our recent encounters, I can vouch for his character. "The f

Chad and Lindsay were absolutely sure that it was Dreamscape's voice. Felix asked, "Hey, do you know Lindsay?" "Yeah, she's quite good at singing. Her technique is solid, and she nails the emotional delivery. She's got a bright future ahead."Lindsay immediately covered her mouth and cried. If her comment was posted online, it would instantly boost her market value by tenfold or even hundredfold. After all, it was something Dreamscape had said. "So, here's the thing. Lindsay's my old friend, and her real dream is acting. I was wondering if you could help introduce her and help her make that dream happen." Chad was excited. Dreamscape might be just a singer, but her status in the entertainment world was unparalleled. Even a casual comment from her carried massive weight. "Sure, I'll send you my manager's number. Have Lindsay contact him. I'll put in a good word, but tell her not to forget her main gig—she really can sing." "Got it! Thanks, then. Bye!" After hanging up, th
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1197
Everyone looked at Felix, their eyes showing different reactions. "Felix, thanks for your good intentions. But sometimes, we just can't make things go the way we want them to." Lindsay quickly tried to smooth things over, knowing Felix meant well. But sometimes, well-meaning lies just would not cut it. Yet, Felix spoke again, "I know someone who can probably solve your current crisis. So, you really don't need to do something you don't want to do." Chad could not hold back anymore. He wondered what kind of friend Felix was to talk big so casually. "Listen up, you brat! The worst thing you can learn in life is bragging. For every lie you tell, you'll need a hundred to cover it up. Got it? "Stop giving Lindsay false hope. You're just making things worse." Angie frowned, too. Though she knew Felix meant well, how could this possibly help? "I wonder if Dreamscape could solve your problem." Dreamscape? The two who were about to leave turned back, their eyes filled with dis
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1196
Angie did not show any look of disdain to Felix, and she seemed like a nice woman. Felix replied, "You're right, Ms. Sinclair. I'll remember that." Just then, Lindsay arrived, and the atmosphere immediately became more lively. "Hey, one's my high school friend, and the other is my college friend. What a rare moment! Cheers!" After a while, Angie asked, "Lindsay, how's your entertainment career going?" Lindsay pouted. "Not great. Without a big-shot mentor as a middleman, breaking into two fields is tough. You know how it is." Angie looked sympathetic and helpless, sighing. "I can't really help with that. My dad might know some people in entertainment, but your fame is actually bigger than mine." Hearing this, Felix asked, "So, you want to do movies and TV?" Lindsay nodded. "Yeah, that's actually my dream. How fulfilling would that be to make a few films with great reviews? They might be remembered for hundreds of years! "Music's okay, but it's just sounds without a face.
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1195
Felix asked, "Is your boss a Malevolent Phantom?" Hearing this, Reeco sneered. "Are you regretting what you've done? Too bad now. It won't help. But if you kneel and knock your head on the ground a few times, I might consider letting you go." A crisp sound rang out. Both young men collapsed to the ground while clutching one of their arms in pain, which was clearly broken. "Go ahead and send that Malevolent Phantom after me." Felix had figured it out. Whatever Malevolent Phantom they were talking about was probably just somebody's nickname. No actual Malevolent Phantom would be this brazen. Those Phantoms knew exactly how officials referred to them ever since they existed on this planet. Acting like this would be suicide. …The next day, Felix received a call from Marley at 10:00 am. "Mr. Zeller, the supplementary investigation is complete."Felix immediately perked up. This could determine the entire investigation's direction. "Were any of the dead victims known to have

Felix said, "Maybe you should check out this video." Chloe was scared at first and was ready to scream for her friends. But when she saw her friends in the video, curiosity got the best of her, and she kept watching. As those nasty comments hit her ears, she saw the pure disgust in their eyes. Finally, she broke down. "You never really know people. It's best to just walk away from these young men." Chloe fought back tears as she glanced at the two young men, who were still chatting away. She muttered a quick thanks before heading in the opposite direction. Felix followed her and said, "I'm a traditional medicine practitioner. I can cure your body odor." What? Chloe looked totally shocked. As someone dealing with body odor, she knew how impossible it was to treat the condition. But her guard went up instantly. "I don't even know you. Stop following me." She knew better than to believe in free services from strangers. Even though Felix had just helped her, who knew what h
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1193
Felix's nose picked up that nasty smell. Even with all that perfume, the stink was impossible to miss. He zeroed in on a good-looking woman in her 20s, who was sitting with two guys and chowing down on barbecue. She looked like she was part of the group, but her eyes gave away her total lack of confidence. He snapped a quick photo and turned to Lindsay, who was already enjoying a fresh plate of barbecue. "You probably shouldn't eat too much. Aren't you afraid of putting on weight?" Lindsay just let out a devilish chuckle. "I'm one of those lucky people who never gain weight. My manager's just worried I'll wreck my voice. Most singers won't touch spicy food, and some won't even eat anything crunchy. "They're scared of some freak accident, but I couldn't care less." After Felix ordered some food, Lindsay finally felt satisfied with all the food she had. "I'm not going to let you buy me dinner for free. Come have lunch with me tomorrow. I've got a college buddy in Kashmere. She'
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1192
After Marley finished her call, Felix asked, "Had the victim only visited one dental clinic?" "Yes, throughout the two years she lived in Kashmere, her medical records show only this single dental clinic." She had only gone for a teeth cleaning. Felix continued reviewing the file but found no other suspicious details. Was this really connected to body odor? Even he was becoming uncertain. Felix remembered an incident from his past when he was accompanying Gerald to a village. They had found an elderly person recently deceased. He was lying on a mat in the yard while emanating a peculiar fragrance. Gerald had commented that the human body was mysterious, with some unexplainable phenomena. Could this woman's death be categorized the same way? Felix left the headquarters. Wandering aimlessly through the streets, his mind was a tangled mess. If every supernatural killing case proceeded like this, investigation would be incredibly challenging. Eventually, the smell of barbecue
