The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 64
Belle said, "This is Inferno we're talking about, ma'am. If the headquarters has sent an Asura over to help, it's clear that Inferno is much scarier than Nocturno. You…"Xena held up a hand, her expression grim. "Don't say such pessimistic things! I didn't get to where I am today by pulling funny tricks and hiding from danger. We'll immediately start setting up our defenses when the Asura gets here. Inferno might show up at any moment.""Yes, ma'am!" Then, Belle thought of something. "Milady, we'll be using the villa at Tabiner Bay as our defense base, and Felix is the owner. What should we…"A trace of disdain flitted past Xena's face. "All irrelevant people have to be cleared out when the Phoenix Legion is conducting its business. So what if it's Felix? Issue him a notice—that's good enough!"…Felix received another call from Sasha that evening. "Come to Club Neuf. I've arrived earlier because I have something to do, so someone else will meet you at the entrance. I want you out

Sasha looked like the promiscuous type, but she knew just where to draw the line. She knew it was important to remain chaste until marriage, so she'd never crossed the line. Even when dating playboys, she hadn't gone to fourth base with them. She would never have allowed them to take her away.And so, Saul's sudden attack had scared her. If Ted had made it clear that this was the price she had to pay to take Felix down, she would never have agreed to it."Let me go! Help!" she screamed.At the same time, Felix arrived at the private room that Sasha had told him about. He ignored the two bodyguards standing outside and looked at Ted. The latter pretended to be surprised. "What are you doing here, Felix?"In truth, he was delighted. Everything was going according to plan."Fuck off!" Felix wasn't interested in knowing what Ted was up to. The fact that he could still walk around like a normal person was only because he was Xena's relative."What makes you think you can act so obnoxi

"Whatever," Felix said, feeling exasperated. Sasha was probably the first person he'd ever met who would resent the person who'd saved her."You can't refute me, can you? Anyway, think about how long it took you to arrive after I told you to come! If you'd arrived earlier, you could've drank with Mr. Barton on my behalf. None of this would've even happened!" Sasha snapped.Felix knew martial arts and seemed to be quite good in a fight—if Ivan's words could be trusted. Yet, in the end, he'd let Saul off the hook just like that. Sasha didn't believe Felix would've allowed the matter to slide so easily if the woman he loved had been in her situation.They finally arrived at the Quinton residence. Warren and Nattie were home, and Felix had completed his mission. Thus, he said, "I'm leaving, Uncle Warren.""Alright. Drive safe."Sasha burst into tears almost as soon as Felix was gone. Warren hurried over to her, his heartache clear. "What's wrong, Sasha?""I was almost raped, Dad,"

Xena had actually ordered Felix to stay away from his villa for a whole week. Who was she joking? Why did he have to get her permission to stay in his own house? She was abusing her power, wasn't she?Seemingly expecting Felix to react like this, Belle said frostily, "Look closely, Felix! This is a military order. If you refuse to comply, we can arrest you and lock you up for a week—your villa will still end up empty. The choice is yours."Felix looked at the regulatory permit. He couldn't deny that Xena had indeed signed the permit in her capacity as a goddess of war. It was also stamped with the Phoenix Legion's official stamp. If he were to go against them, he wouldn't even be able to lodge a complaint."Fine, then. I'll do as you say." Felix left, feeling a little mad at himself. Why did he have to get mad at a woman? He could've just agreed to do as Xena ordered and secretly returned if he wanted. No one would notice him, let alone stop him.He figured that his villa wasn't

Ironhulk looked at his subordinate. "Go and drag Sasha Quinton to the dog farm. Since this Felix Zeller is so powerful, I'd like to see whether he can save her twice."…Two hours later, sometime past 1:00 am, Felix appeared at Kane's house."I'm so sorry to disturb you at this hour, Mr. Zeller. I should've been the one to go to you," Kane said, looking distressed. Felix himself had mentioned that Kane could contact him anytime if he had news on the herbs.So, he'd called Felix upon returning from his trip to another city. He'd suggested heading over to Felix's villa, but the latter had said he would come over instead.Felix said, "It's not too convenient to meet at my place for the time being."How could they discuss anything if he couldn't even turn the lights on at his villa? He didn't want to have anything to do with Xena before Curtis woke up. Sasha was already enough trouble for him. "Did you really get the things?"Kane nodded and had someone bring them two bunches of her

Felix's brows were tightly furrowed on the journey to Hairot Dog Farm. "Why did you bring so many guns along?"Kane hurriedly explained, "Ironhulk is in the business of arms and weaponry, Mr. Zeller. He has many men reporting to him and a whole lot of guns. He's considered important in Avesburgh's underground circles. He might not dare to challenge me, but we do need to keep ourselves safe from him."Felix's expression turned odd. "You're afraid of mere guns?"Kane smiled bitterly. Only then did it occur to him who Felix really was. "I apologize, Mr. Zeller. I overstepped my boundaries."…Sasha was bound to a chair in the courtyard of Hairot Dog Farm. She no longer had tears to shed, and she was so terrified that she kept mumbling to herself. "This has nothing to do with me, I swear. Felix is the one behind this. Please, let me go."Ironhulk glared at her from his seat nearby. "Say another word, and I'll have my men take you inside."Sasha immediately shut up. Her hatred for Fe

Felix felt resigned as he looked at the scene before him. He didn't want Kane to make an appearance. He'd only brought the latter along just in case. It looked like it would be hard to get Sasha, who was fully conscious, out of here without things getting bloody.Meanwhile, Sasha's fear and horror had turned to despair at the sight of all the guns. To any regular individual, seeing a gun was about the scariest thing that could happen to them. She knew that Felix was dead meat, which also meant she was doomed.Suddenly, she regretted everything. She wouldn't have met Saul if not for her agreeing to help Ted take Felix down, and none of this would've happened.At that moment, Felix snapped his fingers. Someone got out of the Range Rover's driver's seat. Ironhulk's expression changed drastically when he saw who it was. "L-Lord Kane?"Kane stood beside Felix and said coldly, "You've got guts, Ironhulk. How dare you try to pick on my distant relative? Even I have to address him as Mr.

Warren's roar was just as Felix imagined. After all, Sasha had been abducted by Ironhulk in the middle of the night. How could her family be unbothered?"Uncle Warren, Sasha's safe. I'm sending her home now," Felix said."I'll be waiting!" Warren boomed. Felix could tell that Warren was genuinely furious this time. Felix also clearly knew that Sasha had been abducted precisely because of him.When they arrived at Silverwood, Nattie was in tears. "Sasha!"Felix placed Sasha on the couch and said, "She's fine. She just passed out."At least Sasha wasn't tortured—this was the only thing that reassured Felix."You animal! Get lost! You're nothing but trouble, and you've even dragged our family into this. Warren and I were beaten up, and all you did was a simple bandage job. Get out of here!" Nattie demanded.Felix said nothing in reply. He only approached Warren while gazing at him. "Tell me honestly. How have I treated you?" Warren asked."You've treated me as your godson, Uncle

"You must be quite famous to scare this kid just by showing up," Felix joked.Kurt remained respectful, remembering Clement's warning that if Felix were dissatisfied, Kurt's position would be forfeit. His status in Gray City might be impressive, but compared to Clement, he was nothing."Since he's troubled you, Mr. Zeller, I'll take him away and handle it to your satisfaction," Kurt offered.Huxley was terrified but knew he had to beg for mercy—if Felix spoke about this incident, the consequences would be devastating. Everyone knew those who crossed Kurt met terrible fates, often along with their families."Please, no!" Huxley sobbed, but Felix waved dismissively."Get out of here, and don't let this happen again," Felix said, having no interest in wasting time on such trivial matters."You heard Mr. Zeller," Kurt prompted.Huxley scrambled away, vowing never to harass anyone again, no matter how ordinary they seemed.After George and Kurt left 30 minutes later, Felix finally h

Huxley relaxed slightly when the Rolls-Royce drove away, and the crowd began to thin. After all, everyone had at least one wealthy friend—this he could handle."Nelly, this little show doesn't make Felix any more impressive," Huxley mocked, pointing at the Lamborghini. "Anyone can rent a luxury car nowadays with some cash. So what's your answer about tonight?"Before Nelly could respond, Felix pulled her inside the clinic. "There's someone I want you to meet."Huxley was furious but hesitated to act with George present, deciding to wait until the Lamborghini left before teaching Felix a lesson."Mr. Gibson is frustrated he couldn't make it back from abroad, but he arranged for a gift that should arrive soon," George mentioned, referring to Ryan rather than Clement as Felix initially thought.Felix sighed. "Please don't make arrangements like this without asking. If everyone shows up, how am I supposed to run a normal clinic?" Gray City and Avesburgh were about the same size, an

Nelly had always maintained professional distance with all her clients, which had worked to discourage Huxley's advances since he was never really interested in buying property. However, Felix's arrival completely disrupted that delicate balance.After a long moment of internal struggle, Nelly agreed. "Fine, I'll have dinner and karaoke with you tonight, but that's all."Huxley smiled darkly, knowing she would not have any control over what happened once she was there, especially after he slipped something into her drink."That won't be necessary," Felix interrupted firmly. "I actually appreciate having all these people guarding my clinic. Nelly, please go home."Upon seeing Huxley's expression turn venomous, Nelly panicked. "Mr. Zeller, please stay out of this. I know what I'm doing.""I said it's not necessary," Felix repeated calmly.Huxley's expression darkened as he grabbed Felix's collar. "Do you actually think having Clement back you up makes you untouchable? What's your c

Xena nodded slowly. "Of course, I've heard of them! Everyone who joins gets that training at headquarters. "How could anyone not know about the legendary Chief Commander? But what does this have to do with Felix?"She had tried calling Conan earlier, but he had been too scared to say anything. Hence, she was now questioning Alistair."The legendary Chief Commander appeared today—she's Felix's senior," Alistair explained. "One call to Hugh, and within minutes, they discovered the forensics team had falsified everything on the phone.""What?" Xena shot up from her chair. "Are you absolutely certain Felix's senior is the legendary Chief Commander?"Though Alistair only responded with a telling look, she knew it was true. The news was absolutely staggering—this connection was far more significant than knowing any warlord."Based on Mr. Spade's reaction, the Chief Commander hasn't aged a day," Alistair added thoughtfully.Xena gave a bitter laugh. "Of course not. One can only imagin

Conan did not want to stay a second longer in this place. After all, this was the legendary Chief Commander, someone even Lionel respected. He had really shot himself in the foot this time, wishing he had shown better judgment.After they left, Felix breathed a sigh of relief, finally understanding why the forensics results were compromised. It seemed John had timed his report precisely for this reason."Thank you, Mira," Felix said sincerely.Averill immediately protested with a mischievous grin. "What about me? Don't forget you did nothing but lie in bed last time. You should thank me for my hard work too."Felix felt his face burning with embarrassment—only Averill would make such suggestive comments in front of Mira."How did you two end up coming together?" he asked, trying to change the subject.Mira's eyes sparkled with amusement. "I was too lazy to track you down, so I had Averill do the legwork." She turned to Averill and added, "Don't you have a flight to catch?"Ave

Conan whirled around to find another stunningly beautiful woman, and he widened his eyes. He could not help but think, "Damn! What kind of luck does Felix have to have such gorgeous seniors?""Of course! What, are you planning to interfere too?" he challenged, trying to maintain his authority.Felix stood up, surprised to see that Averill's mentioned senior was none other than Mira, who had gracefully entered the room carrying a distinctive purple umbrella—the kind of accessory that demanded attention whether you wanted to give it or not."Well, well, headquarters has really gone downhill if this is the caliber of agents they're producing these days," Mira remarked with a cold smile.Conan's face reddened with rage at the insult to headquarters, but his anger suddenly froze as he took a closer look at Mira's face. He stumbled backward several steps. "Y-You're..."Ignoring Conan, Mira pulled out her phone and dialed a number. "Listen here, Hugh. Just because you're retired doesn't

A flash of annoyance crossed Alistair's eyes, but he still made the introduction. "Mr. Zeller, this is Mr. Conan Spade from headquarters, a joint investigator. Given the international implications of this case, they're taking it quite seriously." Conan scoffed at these words. "Mister? Really, Alistair? You're getting soft—since when do we address suspects as 'mister'?""How I address people is my business," Alistair shot back. "As long as the investigation is thorough, my manners aren't your concern." Ignoring the exchange, Conan dropped heavily into the chair across from Felix. "The voice recordings and videos from your phone have been authenticated—it's definitely you, Felix. No amount of denial will help unless you can provide an alibi, so you'd better come with us right now."He added with menace, "And if you resist, we're authorized to use lethal force!"Conan's hostility was crystal clear, but Felix chose not to dwell on it. He replied, "I actually do have an alibi, though

Felix's first thought was that they had found out that he killed Mason, but he quickly dismissed it. First, he had been meticulous. Since Mason had come to kill him, he would have surely avoided cameras himself. Secondly, the Jacobs family would learn about his death first. There was no way they would ask the cops for help instead of taking revenge themselves. These two points made it unlikely. So, what was it? "Xena, don't joke around. How could I have murdered someone?" "That's not for you to decide. Did you think I'd call you if this wasn't official? Alistair's coming for you. I hope you'll cooperate, or I'll issue an arrest warrant." The call ended right there, and Felix was left bewildered. He could only go home and wait. An hour later, Alistair found his address. He sat in Felix's living room with two Wolfie troopers. The fact that they had not even given him a heads-up despite their relationship meant this was official business. "Mr. Zeller, I apologize, but we mus

If Felix wanted to have regular interactions with Willow, he first needed a job. Maintaining his usual air of mystery would only create distance.After consideration, he decided that continuing his career as a doctor made the most sense. It was the fastest way to connect with people. After all, everyone would get sick sometimes."There's a traditional medicine clinic for rent just a block away. But you should see it yourself first." Nelly's efficiency was impressive. After all, she was familiar with the industry. "Thanks again. Just call me Felix." "Sure, Felix." Nelly's colleagues had been right when they said she was a reserved woman. She had not been putting on an act when she always maintained professional distance with wealthy clients. Her different approach with Felix stemmed from her intuition. His eyes were always filled with sincerity whenever he looked at her. The clinic was about 800 square feet. Though it was not big, it was sufficient for use. It had thrived un
