Chapter 626

Author: Dreamy Fire
Alfie felt a stinging pain when Nala smacked the back of his head. He froze, utterly dumbfounded.

"When did I say such nonsense? Do you want me to hit you?" Nala asked.

Rubbing the sore spot on his head, Alfie smirked. "It's over," he thought. "Lady Nala is absolutely serious this time."

Five minutes later, Noah lay sprawled on the ground, struggling to get up. His body refused to obey, leaving him bruised and battered beyond recognition.

"Are… Are you really in Aetherial Realm?"

He was utterly broken. Since stepping into Oceanus Realm, he had carried immense pride in his abilities. He wouldn't claim invincibility at his rank, but he always had absolute confidence in his strength.

Yet, all that confidence had been shattered. If Felix had defeated him with some powerful technique or secret art, he could have accepted it. However, Felix had relied solely on raw physical strength. With no techniques, he had still beaten him to a pulp, leaving him on the verge of death. It was absurd

    Felix's interest was piqued. Truth be told, he didn't know much about his nine fellow apprentices. For instance, Averill had her own assassin organization, and Delilah was none other than the famous singer, Dreamscape."Oh? Really? Then, tell me all about it."Noah opened his mouth as if to speak but suddenly seemed to think better of it. He shook his head vigorously."No, no! I almost walked into a disaster! She's your fellow apprentice, and if you don't know about it, it's probably because she doesn't want you to know. If I blab, and she finds out, I'll be as good as dead," Noah said, fear filling his eyes. "Worse, she won't stop with me—she'll wipe out everyone connected to me. I'm talking everyone. Even the earthworms in my backyard won't escape her blade!"Felix was dumbstruck. Was Eloise really that terrifying?"Fine. If that's the case, I won't force you." He waved dismissively. "I'm just a guy trying to live a normal life. Well, now that I know this, my impression of the

    Earlier in the day, Felix had sent Xena a message about a newly released comedy movie, suggesting they watch it together in a few days. To his surprise, Xena replied that they could go that very day."Have you solved that case you were working on?" Felix asked.The case involved over a dozen children, and Felix knew how deeply it had affected her. He didn't think she'd be in the mood for a movie otherwise."It's been solved. However, I can't share the details with you.""Solved?" Felix thought to himself, frowning. He had personally dealt with the mastermind behind it, ensuring the case would remain a mystery. How could it possibly have been resolved? Something about this was odd."They've caught someone?" Felix pressed. "Come on. You know I'm not the type to spread things around. Tell me."His curiosity got the better of him, and he couldn't resist probing further, even if it risked annoying her.After a moment of hesitation, Xena finally relented. "Alright. I guess I can tell

    Sitting on the couch was Asher from the Greene family, which explained Felix's harsh words."Whether I die or not has nothing to do with you."Asher stood up, his eyes burning with anger."I don't care. You're the last bloodline left of Uncle Victor. As long as there's even a shred of hope, I won't just watch you throw your life away."Felix made a gesture, signaling Asher to continue, but said nothing."Humph! You have no idea just how terrifying Aiden is. I'll tell you one thing. You must give whatever he wants to him within the set time, or you'll truly die. And it will be a slow, agonizing death."Asher knew Felix well enough to understand that he likely dismissed Aiden's warning, which was why he had come personally to Canraville. He could never repay Victor's kindness, so he should at least try to do it through Felix.Still, Felix remained silent, even opening the door as if to indicate the conversation was over.As Asher stepped toward the door, he paused, leaving one la

    "By the way, Rosalyn asked when you'll be coming over." Jeffrey asked."Right now," Felix replied. "My patient comes first. Since I've agreed, there's no reason to delay any further."After all, this concerned the fourth piece of the Dragonspine. He couldn't afford to waste any time.On the surface, it seemed like everything was good to go. However, Felix wasn't so sure if that'd still be the case once he arrived at Ruby Manor. To increase the likelihood of obtaining the Dragonspine, he needed more leverage."Jeffrey, do you have Axel Crayden's contact?""I do."Jeffrey was puzzled. Was there any connection between Axel and the current situation?"Call him and tell him I'll be at Ruby Manor this afternoon. You don't have to tell him anything else.""Alright. I'll take care of that now."After informing Xena, Felix boarded a flight alone. Jeffrey didn't intend to join him. His personal connection with Rosalyn made it awkward for him to go. It would attract unnecessary gossip.

    "Not your boyfriend?" Felix was confused.That was until he heard Nancy's voice, barely audible as she murmured, "Husband."Felix blinked. "What's the difference?"Nancy mustered the courage to look up and explain, "If I say boyfriend, it makes him think there's still a chance. But a husband will completely shut him down."Ah, so that was her plan—quite thorough. "Alright."At the domestic arrivals gate of Aleshire Airport, the passing crowd couldn't help but take a second look. Two rows of men in black suits stood in formation. At the front, a young man with slicked-back hair held a large bouquet of roses. He was decently good-looking and was clearly waiting for someone.Some sharp-eyed observers noticed his wristwatch—a Patek Philippe—and, combined with the entourage, it was clear he was someone wealthy. In Dragonia, there was a saying, "The rich in Aleshire were the real rich, while everyone else was just playing pretend"."Isn't that Ronald Sullivan, the second heir of U

  • The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection   Chapter 632

    By the time Ronald snapped out of it, Felix and Nancy were already gone."Damn it! They're like the beauty and the beast. What a waste of my time!"Ronald had completely lost interest in Nancy. He had two principles when it came to women: they either had to have both beauty and a great figure, or if they were slightly lacking, they had to be untouched.Nancy wasn't stunning enough to truly captivate him, but she had kept herself well-guarded. Such a pity.Inside the taxi, Nancy's heart was still racing wildly."Did that work?"Nancy nodded. "Yes. I looked into Ronald's preferences. It should be fine now. I'm sorry for not giving you a heads-up earlier."Felix sighed inwardly. In a situation like this, where the man clearly had the upper hand, Nancy was still apologizing."It's alright. It's fine as long as we avoided trouble this time."There was one thing Nancy didn't say. That kiss had been her first. And to her surprise, she hadn't felt the slightest discomfort—in fact, she

    Felix's expression darkened as he looked at the three young men, their faces filled with contempt."Is this how the Ruby family treats their guests?"Reid, the so-called fourth brother, spoke again, his tone still arrogant, "How we treat guests in the Ruby family is none of your business. If you've got the skills, prove it and make us step aside willingly instead of running your mouth."Felix sneered and turned to Rosalyn. "Your fourth brother, is it? Either he apologizes to me, or I leave right now. Did he think just any Tom, Dick, or Harry has the right to question me?"Rosalyn panicked. She hadn't expected things to escalate like this. "Mr. Zeller, please wait!"But Felix's remark completely enraged Reid."Hah! Talking big on the Ruby family's turf? You want an apology? Fine! I'll give you a chance. Apologize to me now, or you won't make it out of this house."No elder had stepped in so far, which clearly indicated that these three had been given permission to act as they ple

    Rosalyn hesitated briefly before continuing to argue her case. "Of course he's the real deal! Dr. Cane's diagnosis perfectly matched Mr. Zeller's. What more proof do you need? Even Dr. Cane admitted he couldn't treat me. Why don't you believe me?"It was clear that Richard was aware of Reid's actions. This realization left Rosalyn deeply disappointed."Enough! Can't you see your Augustus' car has arrived? Step aside!"Rosalyn nearly burst into tears. She had always felt unappreciated by Richard, but it was blatantly obvious that day.Just because she was a woman and unqualified to inherit the patriarch's position, does that make being doted on by Rowan a crime?Not far away, Reid sneered. "What a fool! Complaining to Dad? Whether Felix is real or fake, no one can treat your illness now that he has left. If you die, Grandfather's affection for you will fade over time."At that moment, a Rolls-Royce pulled up, and Augustus stepped out with Axel. Richard immediately went to greet

    So, that was why… Felix couldn't mistrust Donna, either. The Mystical Explosive Orb absorbed a lot of soul essence and helped his soul strength grow. Donna wasn't a fool, and of course, she could sense the growth.So, how could she give it up so easily? Yet, she still said such helpless words. Felix wondered if Dahlia and Karina could help him kill Malachar. As soon as he thought of this, he quickly dismissed the idea.He had seen the horrors of S-tier Malevolent Phantoms with his own eyes. He couldn't involve his fellow apprentices because of this… After all, this was related to life, and it wasn't a small fight."Take the Mystical Explosive Orb back. I won't have any use for it anymore. If I meet Malachar again, it'll just end up being snatched away by him."Donna could barely hold back her conflicted emotions. She was so excited as the orb had recently absorbed a powerful soul just a week ago, and it proved that her choice was right.However, she had to give it all up now. Ho

    Malachar's body trembled slightly. A precious soul essence was actually given to a human by an S-tier Malevolent Phantom? What a waste!Besides, how could an S-tier Malevolent Phantom protect a human like this? This was completely incomprehensible to Malachar!"Once I find out who it is, I'll make sure they'll never stand among other S-tier Malevolent Phantoms! How dare you protect humans!" he spat out angrily, walking toward Anson.He gave Anson a look of contempt before leaving. By this point, Felix was already beyond Malachar's sensing range. Malachar didn't even know where to start if he wanted to chase after Felix. Naturally, he could only wait for his next chance.…As night fell, Felix opened the door to a hotel suite to welcome Donna, who had just arrived. "The S-tier Malevolent Phantom claims to be Malachar, and I figured out that he and Hall of Souls are working together. Maybe because they lost several Black Soul Scouts and the entire laboratory recently, he's despe

    Malachar's face showed a hint of mockery. "No way I've mistaken you. I'm being guided to you, after all."Anson stood at a distance, obviously the so-called guide. No one else was around, after all."You've ruined so many Hall of Souls' good plans. So, you deserve to die!" Hall of Souls? Felix's expression turned ugly. He didn't expect Hall of Souls was actually working with S-tier Malevolent Phantoms. Yet, he had seen it with his own eyes this time."I didn't expect an S-tier Malevolent Phantom to act like a pawn for us humans. How admirable!" However, Malachar wasn't offended at all. "You humans are really good with words, but do you really think I'm fooled? Besides, Hall of Souls is 'my' pawn. This relationship will never change—not now and not ever."He moved, just a little. "Alright. I think I've said enough. I'll send you off now."Anson, who stood a little bit away, had no expression on. For him, it was best for Felix to die like this. Otherwise, Anson was sure to be th

    Just as Anson felt confused as to why Felix lashed out, Felix had disappeared from his sight."Huh? Did he sense it? How is that possible?" Despite being surprised, Anson didn't think it had anything to do with what he said. After all, Felix was a martial artist at the peak of Grandmaster Realm. Felix wouldn't have grown to this point, only to be frightened by Anson's mere words."What a pity… Did you think you could really escape?"In the deserted area, Felix was running away at high speed. From the reminder left by Donna, it was clear that this S-tier Malevolent Phantom was definitely not passing by. Combined with Anson's words, it was clearly targeting him."Mackenzie approached me because of Specter, so what about this S-tier Malevolent Phantom?" he thought. He was speechless by this and felt that it was strange. But it wasn't the time to think about things like these now.All of a sudden, his phone rang. It was Donna."I sensed that there's an S-tier Malevolent Phantom cha

    Xena stopped, anxious. She bit her lips painfully and felt extremely conflicted. She hadn't really made a decision yet, but if she left, her only chance of becoming stronger would be gone.The thought of Felix and Billy, who destroyed the entire Rebirth Sect by himself, flashed through her mind, and she turned around slowly."Okay. I promise you." …A week later, Felix's life in Newtown was extremely normal. Whenever night fell, he would have a passionate night with Nerissa. However, he didn't know what was going on. It was difficult for them to get pregnant."Honey, do you really not want to marry Xena?" Nerissa asked curiously as they walked into the mall."No. She'll find someone she likes soon enough, so why should I bring her with me? And don't ask me these things again."Although his tone was gentle, Nerissa still felt the annoyance in his voice. She turned away quickly, a little scared. "I'm sorry, honey. I'll never ask anything like that again."Just as Felix was abo

    Felix thought for a while before he said, "Hm, at this point, even if it's just a conspiracy, there's nothing we can do. Besides, I'm not weak."How confident! If someone else had said this, Billy would've sneered in contempt. However, it came from Felix, and he felt like that was only natural. After all, Felix's soul progression was terrifying.The matter with Rebirth Sect came to an end, and Felix returned to Newtown. Although he was a little scared, Cordelia would be furious if he didn't return.Meanwhile, the Black Soul Scout was brought back to the headquarters. Billy said he would have to prepare and ensure that it was foolproof. Once he got the information, Xena would definitely contact Felix as fast as possible.However, Felix didn't know that Xena was currently meeting Specter at a villa in Yartford. "Have you made up your mind?" Specter asked, a confident smile on his face as he poured out a glass of water."First of all, I will not merge my soul with yours. Even with

    "Can you remove his soul ties, Billy? I sure can't do it." Felix had high expectations of him. After the move Billy pulled today, Felix thought that he might be able to cut the soul ties bounding the Black Soul Scout."It's possible, but it might be too troublesome," Billy said.It didn't matter whether it was troublesome or not, as long as it could be done. Felix smiled. "Then, I'll leave him to you. This is a Black Soul Scout who knows a lot about the Hall of Souls."Xena was extremely happy with that answer. She knew that they had something to discuss and quickly excused herself."I'll head out and see how everything is being cleaned up outside," she said.This time, the information from this place was indescribable. Not only did it cost no lives, but they impeccably took over a Hall of Souls laboratory. Who would've dared to dream of such an outcome?Once Xena left, Felix gave Billy a thumbs up. "Your strength is truly terrifying."No matter how Billy did it, it proved the s

    "I've told you this before, but there are too many people to be rescued in there. I'll have to go all out. But that means that the Malevolent Phantoms there will get some intel on me," Billy said.Xena felt helpless. However, this was also a hopeless situation. They couldn't just sacrifice a thousand lives for the sake of Billy's secrets in the second wave. This was something no one could help."Just do it. As long as you can save them, nothing else matters," Xena said.After a while, Billy raised his hand, and she stopped the car immediately."Let the backup team get ready." With that, Billy took a step forward, his expression turning solemn. He stretched out his hands slowly.Xena saw a string of beads appearing around his wrists; on the left, there were white beads, and on the right, there were black beads. …Meanwhile, in Rebirth Sect, Yosef and his A-tier Malevolent Phantoms were still investigating. They had checked almost half of the population, and there were no suspici

    With a Black Soul Scout here, it seemed that Yosef had big plans. Besides, they had just mentioned feeding with corpses. Could this be the laboratory of the Hall of Souls?For a moment, Felix was tempted. If he could ideally take over this laboratory, it would definitely be helpful to Wayne's research. After all, it seemed like the Hall of Souls was progressing rapidly in this area.Additionally, the corpses were used as fodder. It was only a matter of time before Felix was exposed. Of course, he couldn't just sit there and wait to die. Meanwhile, in the room, the old man was still concentrating on the chessboard in front of him. Suddenly, his expression turned grim, and he quickly retaliated with a soul attack. Unfortunately, he fell to the ground, and his eyes rolled to the back of his head.Felix looked at the old man on the ground with his Spirit Eye and immediately confirmed that he was the Black Soul Scout. He heaved a sigh of relief. He had anticipated the attack the moment
