The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 613
The commanding voice caught Yates off guard. A middle-aged man sitting among the group shot to his feet, his face drenched in sweat. He said, "Mr. Jordan, I'll go check it out!"This man was Jonathan. With such esteemed guests present, an outburst like this was unacceptable. No one could bear the consequences if Yates, the Supreme Elder, lost his temper."Go ahead," Yates replied, his smile returning. "It's just a minor issue. Don't let it ruin the mood."The guests, all seasoned figures in the martial world, remained unfazed. Every organization had its troubles, after all. The intruder's grudge was with Jonathan specifically, and given this was Polaris' headquarters, the issue would surely be handled swiftly.Yates turned to Uzziah, steering the conversation back on track. "I heard the leadership of the Eight Great Martial Families has shifted. The Rubies have been knocked down from the top spot?"Uzziah nodded. "Yes, a significant change. Those young ones always report back to

Within minutes, the deputy sect leader burst into the hall, his face a mix of panic and fury. "This is madness!" Yates shot as he slammed his palm on the table, rising to his feet in a thunderous rage. He had assumed this was just some reckless troublemaker causing a scene, but to hear that even the sect leader could not handle the situation? That was an insult he could not bear."Stay seated, gentlemen. I'll handle this personally," Yates growled, disappearing in a flash before anyone could respond.Uzziah rose from his seat, glancing at the others. "Let's go take a look. I can tell you're all as curious as I am." Titus and Thaddeus did not hesitate, quickly following behind. There was no way they would miss seeing who dared to provoke Polaris to the point where even Yates had to step in.…When Yates arrived at the training ground outside, his expression instantly darkened. The sect leader, deputy leader, and a group of elders were all sprawled across the ground, barely cli

The Oceanus Realm was a level of power far beyond the Aetherial Realm, achieved only when one could form an energy vortex within their core. The advancement in strength that came with reaching this realm was beyond description. Now fully comprehending Felix's power, Yates felt a wave of complex emotions. In his entire life, he had never witnessed someone as young as Felix reach the Oceanus Realm. Despite being considered a genius in his prime, Yates had spent his entire life stuck in this realm, unable to advance further. The others who had emerged earlier—Titus, Thaddeus, and Uzziah—all wore expressions of amazement."Who is this young man, and who trained him? He's so young, yet he's reached the Oceanus Realm!" Titus felt a mix of emotions, realizing his own training paled in comparison. Uzziah nodded in agreement. "They say each generation surpasses the last. I always thought Mason from the Jacobs family would lead this generation, but perhaps I've been too narro

"More than 200 lives! And they were children! When you sleep at night, do their restless souls never come to haunt you?" Felix's voice boomed, each word sharp as a blade.Yates staggered back several steps, his face pale as a sheet. His gaze swept across the fallen sect members, none of whom dared meet his eyes. Only the sect leader, overwhelmed with guilt, broke into sobs as he choked out an explanation. "W-We did it to save the sect! Ten years ago, something crippled all of Polaris' businesses. We barely had enough money to keep the sect running for six months. "Without resorting to desperate measures, Polaris would have crumbled. We had no other choice!" Yates closed his eyes tightly as tears streaked down his face, his heart breaking at the revelation. For years, he had focused solely on his martial pursuits, oblivious to the horrors hidden beneath the surface.Titus, Uzziah, and Thaddeus were equally stunned. None of them could have imagined that a prestigious sect like Po

"I have a bad feeling about this!" Uzziah, the strongest among them, immediately sensed the ominous presence spreading through the air. Thaddeus tried to stay composed. He glanced around nervously as the tremors beneath their feet grew stronger. "Uzziah, could it just be an ordinary earthquake?"As he asked, the intensity of the quake increased. Titus narrowed his eyes, scanning their surroundings for any potential threats. "Could Polaris still have some hidden powerhouse alive?" he wondered, his muscles tensing as he prepared for a fight.Suddenly, the training grounds split apart with an earth-shattering boom, sending debris flying. A massive hole appeared in the ground, and from within, a figure leaped out, landing near the barely standing Yates."Well, well," the figure sneered. "After all these years, Polaris has really hit rock bottom. One kid almost wiped out your entire leadership. What a way to honor my brother's legacy!"The newcomer was covered in a gray robe, their

Mira's personality was similar to Averill's, but she was not as shamelessly bold as the latter.Mira smirked and added, "What's wrong? Were you expecting that little tramp, Averill? "Oh, don't act surprised. After she slept with you, she bragged about it in front of all of us! I ended up smacking her until she cried, which made the rest of us feel a little better." While Mira and Felix caught up, Titus, Uzziah, and Thaddeus stood frozen in disbelief. They never expected Felix to have a backup, let alone someone powerful enough to casually block Saylor's terrifying attack with nothing but an umbrella.It seemed that every genius had a hidden ace up their sleeve. Saylor, however, sneered as he watched the interaction. He thought, "Oh, I see now. No wonder this kid wasn't scared. He had someone in the shadows all along."Even though he had not detected Mira earlier, Saylor remained unfazed. His confidence remained unshaken, and he believed she probably just used an advanced conce

When Felix returned to Canraville, Averill had already left. He woke up from a deep, satisfying nap at sunset.Just then, Xena arrived at his house. Felix asked, "Weren't you supposed to stay in Yartford for a few days?" Xena's expression was grim as she explained, "We discovered traces of human trafficking in Canraville. Though we only found about a dozen children at the scene, headquarters takes these cases very seriously and wants a thorough investigation, so I came back immediately." Felix feigned ignorance and responded with anger, "Human traffickers? Those bastards deserve to die."Xena studied Felix's face carefully. "Are you sure you don't know anything about this?""Why would I know anything?" Felix asked, puzzled.Xena leaned forward, noting that Felix's breathing and eyes remained steady. "The bodies showed evidence of acupuncture needles, and we can confirm they were tortured before death."Felix's expression turned wry. "Just because acupuncture needles were in

Axel also adopted an unusually serious demeanor. "I don't know, but I heard Mr. Uzziah has emerged from seclusion."The young man's eyes widened in surprise. "Mr. Uzziah? Wow, Uzziah hasn't shown his face in years!"If he's coming out now and summoning everyone, something big must be happening. Could it be due to the leadership shift in the Eight Great Martial Families?" Axel frowned and shook his head. "I doubt it. Mason is a prodigy, sure, but he's not yet a big enough deal to bring Uzziah out. He still has a long way to go."Despite being just one level below Mason, crossing the first threshold from Ultimate Mortal Realm to Innate Realm was a challenge that had defeated countless so-called geniuses, including Axel himself.Meanwhile, the Crayden elders were also speculating about the situation. "Sir, do you know what's going on?" one of them asked cautiously. At the head of the gathering stood Augustus, the current patriarch of the Crayden family, flanked by several elder

Bob did not say much. He kept wondering if Felix and Wendy were just being polite. He was absolutely certain he would not be exposed. The waiter would never admit to intentionally causing trouble, and no investigation could possibly reveal anything. He might as well keep things as messy as possible. Less than ten minutes passed before Angie arrived. She did not even greet Felix, immediately rushing to the Azure VIP Room with Ian. Felix remained in the main hall. It was past the lunch rush, so the restaurant was almost empty and quiet. Suddenly, Bob heard Felix's voice say, "I won't be here for more than a few days, so you really didn't need to use these tactics." "Mr. Zeller, were you speaking to me?" "You know exactly what I mean. Don't do this again." Felix was not naive. He could tell from how Bob had been helpful in the main hall but went silent in the private room. Something was definitely fishy. But Felix was totally focused on the Malevolent Phantoms now, and he

Just as Felix turned, the bathroom door opened, and a woman walked out. Seeing how the hem of her dress was wet, it was clearly from washing off spilled wine. "Mr. Zeller?" With just a glance, Felix was instantly wordless. Of all people, it was actually Wendy. "Oh, Wendy. What a coincidence!" Seeing Felix in his professional attire, Wendy was stunned. "What are you doing?" "I'm working as a front desk manager at this restaurant." Hearing this, Wendy remembered Felix was currently running important tasks nationwide. So, this made perfect sense. "Since we know each other, let's just drop this. The waiter didn't mean to cause trouble. There's no need to make such a big deal." Franz had already walked over at that moment. But he was shocked to see Wendy knew the front desk manager and was even addressing him so respectfully. "Got it, Mr. Zeller. Sorry for the trouble." Felix nodded and left. Bob followed, but a bad feeling crept into his mind. How did Felix know Franz's

Sally heard the intercom call, too, and her admiration for Bob reached new heights. Everyone in the restaurant knew that for VIP rooms like the Azure Room, customer complaints could not be handled by a front desk manager. Only the general manager—like Ian—could deal with it—and if he couldn't, Angie herself would have to step in.This was clearly Bob's setup. If not, Felix would not have had to go over. Bob had taken advantage of Felix being new and clueless about the rules.But his guts were something else. He was actually sacrificing one or two waiters just to go up against the boss' daughter. Was this really just about a front desk manager position anymore? In the Azure VIP Room, there were only two people by the massive table. A waiter knelt on the floor, body shaking uncontrollably. Just this scene told Felix the guests were definitely high-profile. "Who are you?"The young man with a powerful presence immediately frowned when he saw Felix."Hello, sir. I'm the front des

In the morning, Felix visited the dental clinic where the two women had their teeth cleaned. He found nobody suspicious there. He had already reviewed the relevant videos. They only had a routine teeth cleaning with barely any interaction. Any hope of finding a lead this way was completely crushed. After leaving, he received a call from Angie and rushed to an incredibly luxurious restaurant. "Felix, how about working as a front desk manager here?" she asked.What should have been a simple job offer now felt like she was tentatively seeking his permission. "Sure. But Ms. Sinclair, I have one condition."Angie smiled and said, "Go ahead.""I have some personal matters to deal with here. So, when I need to leave to handle something, I hope I can get time off normally." Angie thought that was nothing. She glanced at the middle-aged man beside her. "No problem. This is the restaurant's general manager, Ian Goodwin. Just give him a call when you want to leave." Ian immediately

Felix raced to a repair shop in Kashmere. Upon reaching the premises, he quickly jumped the fence and entered. According to Chloe, she had been held captive here. She had barely managed to grab a phone and call for help. No one could possibly be interested in her smell, so Felix genuinely hoped the Malevolent Phantom would show up.The moment he entered the yard, all the lights blazed on, turning the place as bright as day. "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry!"Chloe emerged, looking disheveled. Reeco—the man from the barbecue stand—was grabbing her hair. About 20 other guys surrounded Felix with weapons in hand, wearing menacing grins. "Did you think I'd have to visit you myself? Look at you, walking right into our trap!" Felix was utterly disappointed. He'd completely forgotten about these insignificant men, and now, they had wasted his time. "I'm here. Let her go."Surprisingly, Reeco shoved Chloe to the ground and waved his hand. "Get him!" The first man charged with a massiv
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1200
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

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
