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

Xena's gaze was empty as she stared at Felix. "You still came to me only to save yourself. Felix, I'm completely disappointed in you!"If you had just been honest with me from the start, given that I had already fallen for you, do you really think I would have refused? But you chose to hide the truth. So, everything you say now is just an excuse."Xena yanked her hand away from his grip, her voice cold. "I never want to see you again. Just disappear from my world completely."Felix stood frozen, watching Xena leave. He knew that nothing he could say or do would fix this now—Sarah had won by dealing Xena an emotional blow that could not be healed....The next morning, after a sleepless night, Felix still could not bring himself to give up and planned to ask Jack for advice. However, when he opened his door, he found Curtis stepping out of his car."Mr. Summers Senior," Felix greeted him quietly.Curtis looked as exhausted as Felix felt, as if he, too, had not slept. He simply sa

Right then, Felix could barely contain his anger anymore. Just as he was about to act, a police car zoomed past them. As he got snapped back to reality, he was reminded of the crowds milling around them. He suddenly remembered his own and Sarah's tremendous power. If they were to fight here, they could level the entire block in seconds. That kind of destruction would definitely draw unwanted attention from Dragonia's authorities. Sarah scoffed. "I thought you were actually going to do something." Taunted by Sarah, Felix's voice turned cold as he said, "You think it's fun playing with people's lives? What I felt for Xena was real, and you ruined everything. Do you have any idea how heartbroken she is?"Sarah smirked. "Of course I know she's heartbroken. All my schemes would have gone to waste if she hadn't been sad. The more pain she's in, the more that heartless Curtis will blame himself. That's exactly what I've been hoping for."Sarah would clearly stop at nothing for her rev

"Thank you, Mr. Summers Senior. I won't give up," Felix said.Within just an hour, Felix had tracked down the pen pal who went by the nickname "Sunset". They lived in Gray City."Felix, what brings you here to visit me?"Felix had shown up at Ernest's house that afternoon with some gifts. "I'm leaving Canraville for a while, and I might be gone for quite some time. I wanted to see you before I go." Leaving? Ernest was not too surprised. Young people, especially talented ones like Felix, rarely stayed in one city forever. "That's thoughtful of you." Felix hesitated before continuing, "I won't be saying goodbye to Sherlyn in person, so please let her know that I'm leaving. Also, please tell her she should live her life—I'm not worth waiting for." Ernest gave a knowing smile. "Don't worry about her. She's got a good head on her shoulders. When she really feels there's no hope left, she'll move on."…Around 5:00 pm, Jack and Vanessa arrived at a restaurant in Canraville. "Y

Eight figures emerged at the mountain peak. All of them were older men and middle-aged warriors who radiated powerful presences. "Five Oceanus Realm masters and three Pulse Realm masters—I'm flattered by such attention." Pulse Realm was the next level above Oceanus Realm. A martial artist would reach this realm when they could gather their spiritual energy into a sphere within their core and make it rotate. This rotating energy sphere would then release its essence throughout the body's meridians, strengthening and transforming them. Felix was not exaggerating about the impressive display of force. Most martial arts sects barely had any Oceanus Realm masters, let alone those who had reached the higher Pulse Realm. Yet the Council had sent so many at once. "Anyone the Council marks for death never lives to see another day. You're the only exception, Felix. Wouldn't it be disrespectful if we didn't take you seriously?" They were not surprised Felix could identify their cultiv

"Kill him!" Now that the battle had started, there was no more need for words. Just as the eight warriors were about to attack in unison, the three Pulse Realm masters suddenly turned pale. They convulsed and coughed blood as they were thrown backward. "Rising Dragon!" Seizing the moment, Felix unleashed his Rising Dragon technique against the three, who were already reeling from his Shadow Strike. "He... He's reached Pulse Realm, too!" The remaining five Oceanus Realm masters gasped as they finally sensed Felix's true power level. How was this possible? Intelligence had reported Felix was at Oceanus Realm, which was shocking enough since they had thought he was still at Aetherial Realm. But now, had he actually advanced from Oceanus to Pulse Realm in just days? It seemed really inhuman of Felix to be able to do that. Throughout history, no martial artist had ever progressed this quickly—not even the greatest prodigies. Three thunderous explosions snapped them back to reali

Felix hung up without a word. He wanted nothing more to do with the Greenes. Though his face remained expressionless, his mind was in a mess. Asher had mentioned that Aiden had reached Innate Realm at just ten years old. After all these years, his power had to be immense. Now that was true genius. It was no wonder that the Greene family held such a unique position in Dragonia. Aiden alone showed how powerful they were.Unless he called on Gerald and his fellow apprentice for help, Felix knew he was not ready to challenge the Greenes. He was not even sure he could match Aiden in combat. With these thoughts weighing on him, Felix drove into Canraville and called Seven. Shortly after he got home, Seven arrived. "Mr. Zeller, does this fit what you want? We crafted it exactly according to your photo." Felix had sent Seven a picture of the Dragonspine and asked him to look for people who could produce a replica. It had to be made with bone, and any animal bone would do. "Yeah, i

Felix sighed to himself. Being popular with the ladies felt more like a burden than a blessing.…In Yartford, Nala was listening to Alfie's report, with Yvonne standing nearby. "Interesting. Felix actually gave his father's heirloom to Aiden Greene. Knowing what kind of person he is, I find it quite hard to believe." Alfie remained silent. He always carried out Nala's orders perfectly, so there was no way he would lie about it. Yvonne felt relieved. She knew how terrifying Aiden was, who also had the mighty Greene family backing him. "Did you find out why Felix is going to Gray City?" Alfie shook his head. "No, but it seems he's planning to stay long-term. He transferred both his villa and car to Jack."Nala could not figure out what made Gray City special. "Miss, perhaps he's leaving Canraville because of his broken relationship with Xena. Gray City might just be a random choice." "Yeah, you're probably right. I can finally make my move now that my biggest competitor i

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
