The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 642
"Let's have dinner at home. I will cook for you. Your mom learned her cooking skills from me. There's nothing good at the restaurants nowadays," Yvette suggested."Okay," Felix agreed.He was at a stage where he craved family bonds, and Yvette was technically a relative. Otherwise, he would have no relatives showing up to his wedding."Ronald has lived a pampered life. His mom spoiled him rotten. If he offended you in any way, I hope you won't take it too personally.""Alright."Yvette's phone buzzed during the drive. She answered the phone on Bluetooth. "Hi, Margaret.""I've secured an appointment with Mrs. Walsh. Hurry over!"Yvette furrowed her brows, looking troubled. "But Margaret, I can't make it.""What's more important than meeting Mrs. Walsh? You knew she could help put in a good word. It'll help immensely with that business deal! I dropped you the location. Just come now."A thought struck Margaret Holmes. She added, "By the way, I nearly forgot that Ronald told me

A while later, Yvette and Felix showed up."Margaret, this is my nephew, Felix Zeller," she introduced Felix.Felix greeted Margaret for Yvette's sake."Felix? You look like a fine young man. I've heard about the incident at the scarf boutique. It's all Ronald's fault."Ronald offered an apology, saying, "I didn't know you were older than me. Consider us acquainted after that fight. Sorry about that."Felix absentmindedly answered him. It seemed like Margaret had since enjoyed a better status in the Sullivan family. It was either that, or Shaun was highly respected in the family. Otherwise, Ronald would never apologize.Felix regarded himself as having dealt with people from all walks of life. He believed in his judgment of character. Ronald, an impudent man, would not say sorry unless he was pressured by someone superior."Felix, the woman who will join us is Mrs. Walsh. She's a respectable figure in Aleshire. Since we're asking for her favor, please keep any grudges to yours

Who could have imagined such a thing would happen? Yvette hurried to explain, "Margaret, there must be some misunderstanding here! Let's be honest. With Felix's status, how could he possibly come into contact with someone like Evelyn York? Besides, he doesn't even reside in Aleshire."Felix was searching through his memory, trying to figure out if he had ever met someone named Evelyn York. In the end, the answer was clear—he truly hadn't."Yvette, stop defending him. I think he did it on purpose. Didn't you say before that there wasn't much point in reconnecting with old relatives? That already shows your relationship wasn't that close. He's clearly looking for trouble," Margaret said, cutting her off before she could respond."There's no need to explain further! I'll tell Nathaniel everything about this, and I'll inform Shaun as well," Margaret declared, leaving no room for discussion.At this point, Felix couldn't stay silent any longer. "If this is truly my fault, I'll take re

Yvette hurried out of the kitchen, still holding the ladle. She had never seen Shaun like this before."What happened, dear? Does it have something to do with Felix?"Shaun's expression was grim, and his face was shadowed with concern. Instead of answering her, he turned to Felix."Tell me honestly. What kind of conflict do you have with Evelyn? If we can't figure out the reason, I really can't do anything to help."Shaun, who usually carried himself with an easygoing and carefree attitude, now seemed utterly serious. It left Felix somewhere between amused and exasperated."I honestly don't know Evelyn. I've never even met her, let alone had any issues with her."Watching Shaun frown even more deeply, Yvette couldn't hold back any longer. No matter what, she couldn't just stand by and watch Cordelia's only blood relative end up in real trouble."What's going on? Just tell me!"Shaun sighed heavily, finally making a decision. "Drive Felix out of Aleshire. I'm afraid Evelyn has a

Nathaniel obviously saw an opportunity to completely crush Shaun—a perfect chance to kill two birds with one stone.Before Shaun could respond, Dominic interrupted coldly, "Shut up! Who told you we're here to cause trouble?"Then, he shot an anxious glance toward Shaun. "If I'm not mistaken, you're Shaun Sullivan, which would make Mr. Zeller your nephew. Correct?"Shaun was about to answer instinctively when he suddenly froze, wondering if the "Mr. Zeller" he meant was Felix. The others also noticed the unusual formality in the address, especially coming from the head of the Walsh family.After all, addressing an outsider as "Mister" typically meant they held a higher status and deserved special respect. However, they were puzzled as to what could make Felix so special."Dominic, what's your wife trying to do?" Felix finally broke free from Yvette's tight grip and stepped forward.That single question made Evelyn's teeth chatter with fear, while Dominic struggled to maintain a ge

That single word "wait" made Dominic and Evelyn jump in surprise. Dominic asked nervously, "What can I do for you, Mr. Zeller?""I heard you have a multi-billion-dollar deal with the Sullivan family?" Felix's question made Dominic relax slightly, as he had expected something worse."Yes, that's correct. What about it, Mr. Zeller?"Felix gestured casually before saying, "Work out the details with Uncle Shaun moving forward. If he wants to do it, great. If not, forget I mentioned it.""Of course, Mr. Zeller. I'll personally visit Mr. Shaun tomorrow," Dominic replied eagerly. The old saying about one person's success lifting up everyone around them could not have been more true. In the past, Dominic would not have given anyone in the Sullivan family the time of day. While the Sullivans had had a slight chance at this billion-dollar deal before, it had been a long shot at best. Now, everything had changed.After they left, Felix smiled and said, "Aunt Yvette, Uncle Shaun, let's

In a secluded forest in Dragonia, Sarah suddenly sat up from her sleep, a mysterious smile slowly spreading across her face. She mused, "Well, well, things are moving faster than I expected... The real show is about to begin."...The next morning, Xena playfully shoved Felix away. "You jerk, stop it! I need to get to work!" Thanks to her martial arts training and enhanced stamina, she was able to get up at all—most women would not have been able to move after such an intense first time, especially after a night of passion."Alright. We'll continue at my place tonight," Felix teased. "Though I seem to remember someone being quite vocal—"She quickly covered his mouth before he could finish, her face flushed with embarrassment as she rushed out. The memories of last night's passion were still fresh in her mind, making her heart race.Like any woman experiencing intimacy for the first time, she had found herself caught up in the moment. Now that she had finally found her true love

After a long moment of hesitation, Xena clicked play on the video. The first thing she saw was Felix talking with an elderly woman, and as their conversation continued, Xena's brows furrowed in concern."So, that's Madam Spring?" she whispered to herself. After months of investigation without even knowing what Sarah looked like, this should have been a welcome discovery. However, as the video continued, Xena's expression darkened, and her eyes turned ice-cold.By the end, her fists were clenched so tight her knuckles turned white as she snapped through gritted teeth, "Felix!"...After sunset, Felix finished preparing a feast and called Xena, who should have arrived half an hour ago according to their plans. When she did not answer after several rings, he tried not to worry.However, 40 more minutes had passed, and he could not shake the feeling that something was wrong. Even if Xena were delayed, she would have let him know.Finally, he called Alistair directly. "Alistair, is

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

Almost immediately after Mason's death, a scarlet thread shot out from his body straight toward Felix. The thread moved so fast that Felix could not react before it vanished. Quickly sitting in a meditation pose, Felix located the thread within himself."Even with my current power, it'll take a month to fully dissolve this Scarlet Thread." Since the thread was not harming him, Felix guessed it had to be some kind of ancestral protection to identify who killed their descendant.Though Felix had instantly suppressed it to its limit, total elimination would take at least a month. This was why he was frustrated. While his suppression had reduced the thread's tracking range greatly, it was not gone. Within a certain distance, it could still instantly identify Felix as Mason's killer. Whoever created this thread was powerful. They were definitely beyond Felix's current ability to fight. But nothing could be done about it now. He would have to take things one step at a time.Seven

Unless? Melissa's eyes lit up eagerly. "Don't keep me hanging! Unless what?" "Unless he's from one of the two most mysterious sects or the Greene family. I can't think of any other possibility." Melissa's expression turned worried as she pondered. "What should I do? Should I heed his calls? And is that mark real?"Her mentor answered without hesitation, "Of course the mark is real! If he wanted you dead, you'd be dead already. You have a chance to connect with a supreme prodigy, and you're thinking of avoiding him?"Has all that phone-stealing messed up your brain? Best case scenario, you could have his child, then—"Melissa hung up. That old man was being ridiculous again. But recalling Felix's appearance, she stroked her chin with a playful smile and said, "Having his child might not be so bad... Oh, my, why am I feeling butterflies?"…Around 1:00 am, Mason had just entered the living room of Villa No. 3 in Heavenly Meadow when he found Felix waiting at the stairs. "You

"I have a few questions I'd like to ask you." After Felix said that, the woman, who had gotten close enough to him, gave him a mischievous grin. "Better keep those questions to yourself. You feel paralyzed now, don't you? Don't worry. I just struck some of your acupoints. It'll wear off in two hours! "Consider it a gentle lesson about following pretty girls." Though her movements had been incredibly fast, Felix had been prepared and had noticed them. Even so, he was amazed by her skill. As she started humming and turning to leave, Felix grabbed her arm. "I really do have some questions for you." Her face instantly changed, staring at her arm in disbelief. "Impossible! My acupoint technique can immobilize even Aetherial Realm masters. How can you move?" She realized something alarming—Felix might be at Oceanus Realm. But how could he possibly have achieved it at his age? "Please forgive my rudeness! Have mercy on me. I have elderly parents and children to support!" She bur

Felix frowned as he glanced at Mason before asking, "What exactly do you want?" "Isn't it obvious? I want you to treat my friend. Rosalyn said you're a traditional medicine practitioner. If you're good enough to work with the Ruby family, you must be skilled. My friend's condition isn't critical, but he's my friend, so we can't wait around." If Mason really could not afford to wait around, why would he be in a mood for pizza here? "I'll give you an answer, then. No. I won't go." Mason smiled cruelly and scoffed. "Do you think I won't touch you in public? Or did you think I'm just bluffing because you're a doctor and have powerful connections? "Well, you're wrong. I'm Mason Jacobs, a prodigy of the Eight Great Martial Families. I can crush you effortlessly in every way, so I suggest you wise up." Getting no response as Felix walked away, Mason cracked his neck. "You're the first to dare ignore me ever since I became famous. After midnight, you won't even get a chance to regr

"Stop!" Just as the men raised their iron bars to attack Felix, a thunderous shout rang out. It was Clement, who had emerged from his villa fully dressed. He looked like he was about to head out. "Damn it! Who the hell dares to interfere?" The young man snarled as he turned around, but his expression instantly changed. "Mr. Parson?" Clement's face darkened as he pointed at the young man. "Huxley Linton, are you itching for trouble again? Why are you attacking people in broad daylight? Has your father stopped disciplining you?" Hearing their conversation, it was clear they knew each other, and Huxley was afraid of Clement. "Come on, Mr. Parson. It was just a joke to scare him. We weren't really going to hurt him! We're leaving right now."After Huxley left with his men, Felix seized the opportunity to become friendlier with Clement. "Thank you, Mr. Parson. Honestly, I'm completely lost here since I've just arrived in Gray City. I don't even know that young man." Clement conside

"Smart girl," Felix thought with a smile. "Thank you. I'd appreciate that." Moving in would require lots of shopping, and taking cabs would be inconvenient. As they drove off together, two men watched from the office entrance with annoyed looks. "Damn it! That villa listing was supposed to be mine. I can't believe someone actually bought it, and now, this flirt gets the commission." His colleague teased, "That's fate for you! This sale's worth more than several of our regular deals combined. Isn't Nelly usually the reserved type? She's always keeping clients at arm's length, but she's making moves now." "Hah! That's all an act! This Felix guy's young and loaded—who wouldn't fantasize about dating him? If she plays her cards right, she could end up a rich man's wife instead of selling houses. But she stole my meat, so she'll pay for it."Smiling, his colleague stayed silent as he knew the real reason behind his bitterness. He had pursued Nelly before and been rejected. "Wait. Y
