"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
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 621
Augustus was stunned. Meanwhile, Axel wore a strange expression. He couldn't be mistaken. That man was undoubtedly Felix. It hadn't been long since he last saw him, so the memory was deeply etched in his mind."Axel, is this for real? He's way too young! How could someone like him make even Uzziah so wary? Damn! They even said the Craydens wouldn't step in to protect anyone who messes with him?"The young man beside him was visibly shaken. Frankly, most of the people around them felt the same. It would've made sense if Felix had been some ancient figure with decades of cultivation. However, unless Felix had discovered a fountain of eternal youth, he was just a young man."Holy—"Suddenly, Axel slapped himself, startling the young man beside him."Axel, what's wrong?"Axel suddenly broke into a wide grin, practically beaming with joy. "When I was a kid, a fortune teller told me that my 24th year would bring me great fortune. I guess he wasn't wrong!"If not for the need of prop

"Dad, if we keep stalling, there really won't be a way back." Axel suddenly appeared, prompting Augustus to frown. "Get out of my way!" Augustus said.He had only ever acknowledged Malcolm as his son. He had poured the most effort into Malcolm, who was also the most talented. His other children were nothing in his eyes. However, Axel didn't seem offended. "I have some rapport with Felix. I can go with Uzziah and smooth things over, and then you can step in afterward. I think we can still salvage this."Augustus fell silent, staring into Axel's eyes. For the first time, a grave realization dawned on him. "Alright. You'll come with me."…Meanwhile, Felix had just arrived at the small square inside Twilight Gardens of Canraville.Twilight Gardens was one of several botanical gardens in the city. Located on the outskirts, it wasn't as popular as the others. However, there was a steady flow of visitors because it provided free entry to its visitors.However, when Felix arrived, t

To be honest, Felix was truly taken aback.The Crayden family was one thing, but the fact that Nala could compel the Elders' Council to compromise was rather surprising."Do you know why the Elders' Council wants to kill me?" Felix asked.Nala answered candidly, "I don't know. It doesn't matter."Felix turned to the middle-aged man. "Are you really from the Elders' Council?"The middle-aged man, Noah Reed, grinned, as though Felix were nothing but an ant in his palm. If it weren't for Nala, Felix might have already been a corpse."Do you doubt my identity? Didn't you kill Dexter Grimshaw and Solomon Gill? And that little fireworks display in Azuria was quite unexpected. Do you think you can pull off something similar here in Dragonia?"Noah's knowledge of these events was proof enough of his association with the Elder's Council.Despite his irritation at being ignored, Tatum Crayden, the Crayden family's Third Elder, didn't dare voice his displeasure. It wasn't only because of

As Felix's hand touched the piece, it felt like it was being sucked in. In an instant, the chess piece became as heavy as a mountain and was impossible to move. What was more terrifying was that Felix felt something inside him being drawn into the chess piece. It was his soul energy! The chess piece was actually absorbing his soul energy, which was something unheard of. Looking at Bonnie, she was caressing her pale neck, her expression one of extreme pleasure. She even let out moans. "So there is something wrong here. You're actually trying to absorb my soul energy! How dare you!" Felix activated the Phaeron Codex. All restraints instantly vanished as he placed the red piece where the red light glowed. "Huh?" Bonnie, who had expected to enjoy the sensation much longer, was stunned that Felix had broken free so quickly. Her reaction was delayed because of that, and she hurriedly placed her piece after regaining her composure. After that, Bonnie's expression soured. Felix w

The woman had big wavy curls and wore a white mini-skirt. She was beautiful, especially those large eyes that seemed designed to entice with every glance. Felix asked, "Do I know you?" She propped her legs up on the table without crossing them, just laying them flat. She was wearing a mini-skirt, and Felix was sitting directly across from her. From this angle, she was showing off everything possible, but she did not seem to care at all. "You can call me Bonnie Wildmare. I'm also one of the Ancient Sage's Eight Guardians." The Eight Guardians! Felix tensed up. He never would have guessed that a woman like this worked for the Ancient Sage. "Ashton insisted I tag along in case something unexpected happened. He was worried he couldn't handle you alone, and it turned out he was right—you had such a powerful fighter by your side. Hehe, Ashton's in for some trouble this time." Since she was one of the Eight Guardians and Ashton had called her, Felix was surprised but not afraid. "

That made sense. A Malevolent Phantom's body was not nearly as fragile as a normal human's. While Felix and Karina could make them explode with minimal effort, weaker martial artists would find it extremely challenging. "I finally get a chance to relax in the park, and this thing tries to kill me. Hmph! Talk about ruining my mood," Karina huffed.Felix was speechless. What was this Phantom thinking? Of all people to pick a fight with, it chose Karina? "What brings you to Kashmere, Karina?" he asked.Karina suddenly felt a flush on her face. She turned away and asked, "Since when do I need to report my whereabouts to you?" Felix knew better than to push the question. He quickly changed the subject and said, "Now that Phantoms have appeared, hasn't Mr. Hoffman asked you all to learn soul-reading techniques?" Among his nine fellow apprentices, only Naomi had trained in soul-related abilities. The others had not. "No. Mr. Hoffman made it clear long ago that we shouldn't learn oth

The flute's melody carried a murderous intent. This could only mean one thing—Karina was locked in battle with someone. This kind of flute sound was inaudible to ordinary people. Only those with significant power could hear it. Felix did not hesitate for a second. After a quick warning to Laura, he bolted out the car door. In a nearby park dense with greenery, Felix had barely arrived when he heard a voice. "Who's there?" Felix could only laugh. Despite being a Grandmaster with his essence concealed to perfection, Karina had still detected him. "It's me, Karina." Karina stood there holding her flute, clearly surprised. "Felix? What are you doing here?" Before he could answer, Felix looked toward a spot where a man's head was swinging back and forth, laughing with a sinister edge. "Hehehe, you think you can kill me like that? Keep dreaming!" As the head spoke, a body grew beneath it, taking the form of a full-grown man. Without a word, Karina played her flute again. The

Based on the essence fluctuations, they were probably an Aetherial Realm martial artist. The fact that they could kill a C-tier Malevolent Phantom shows they'd made real progress with soul techniques. "What a waste of talent, throwing themselves away like this," Felix muttered.Felix had a bad feeling. Was this a test run, or did they actually think this creature could take down a Grandmaster like him?He pulled out his phone and called Xena. "Did Elliott's experimental data get leaked?"Xena's response was firm. "Impossible! That data is extremely valuable, and the headquarters considers it top secret. It's classified beyond even us warlords' clearance, so there's no way it leaked."If it hadn't leaked, what was going on? The helmet, the C-tier Malevolent Phantom—everything pointed to Westorio Order's research. Had some other accident happened without their knowledge?"I'm sending you an address. Get people here as soon as you can to clean up and identify the bodies.""On it."

There was a woman standing in front of the car despite the downpour. What gave Laura the creeps was the woman's bright red dress and matching red umbrella. Her face wore a smile that spread an eerie atmosphere around her."Should we go around her, Felix?"The rain was coming down so hard that no other cars were visible on this stretch of road. Laura figured the woman might have some mental issues."I'll go check it out."Upon hearing this, Laura considered another possibility. "Could it be a Malevolent Phantom?"If so, Laura needed to stay alert. This would be her first encounter with one. Even if she wasn't qualified to fight, she could at least observe carefully."Not sure." Felix thought there could only be two explanations for the current situation. Either this woman was mentally disturbed, or she was indeed a Malevolent Phantom. The heavy rain and lack of surveillance cameras made this an ideal spot for murder, though the location was somewhat unexpected. As Felix steppe

Barry asked, "So Felix, have you faced those Malevolent Phantoms yet?" Felix nodded. "Yeah. They're not as scary as you might think. The first time is rough, but it gets easier. That said, the powerful ones are really terrifying." Upon hearing these words from someone like Felix, Barry felt a chill. After all, Felix's power was already off the charts in everyone's eyes. Good times always flew by, and the days of rest vanished in a blink. At ten in the morning, Felix stood at Newtown's airport. "Stop acting like we're saying our final goodbyes. You two are something else." Cordelia wiped away tears, giving Deborah the same reproachful look. "You can't imagine how much a mother would shed tears for her son. I'm just making up for lost time." Deborah was speechless, though secretly excited. After years of hard work, she could finally relax without worry. "Hey, what a coincidence! Are you guys heading out too? Where?" Bern and his daughter Natalie appeared suddenly, and Ber

"We do!" The crowd roared in unison. Felix's actions today proved they had not made a mistake following him to the capital. Nothing about this felt staged, and they weren't foolish enough to miss that. As the crowd dispersed, Felix remained troubled. He had been blind to something obvious all along—people can be real pieces of work when given the chance. If this situation had continued, wouldn't people have lost faith? Everyone understood that voluntary cooperation would beat forced compliance any day. At least he had stepped in. He had sent a clear message by bringing down the hammer without even sparing the Protector's feelings. Nobody would dare try the same tricks again; making an example of one person was always the most effective way. "Alistair, you all knew about this already, didn't you?" From Alistair's arrival to the prepared evidence against Laurent, Felix could easily connect the dots. "Yes, Lady Summers arranged everything. You know that when the Protector is

"Felix, this young man is a descendant of an old friend of mine. He's been spoiled rotten and doesn't know when to shut up. Please don't take him seriously." Felix watched Laurent, who still looked defiant despite being slapped. Now he understood the arrogance—this man had connections to the Protector. "Let me ask you, sir. What's more important—your feelings for an old friend, or the fate of our nation? I don't understand why such an important place as Newtown would be handed to this triple-threat of incompetence. "He has weak powers, zero emotional intelligence, and not a brain cell to spare. Have you turned foolish too?" Already fuming, Laurent roared, "Felix Zeller! How dare you lecture the Protector himself? This is treason! Arrest him now!" Laurent's men just looked at each other awkwardly. Arrest him? With what, their mouths? Come on, everyone knew how powerful Felix was. Did this idiot even have a functioning brain? The Protector did not seem angry at all. He just l
