The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 665
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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"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

Pulling open the car door, Felix regained his composure. He remembered all of Donna's assurances, and he trusted that they weren't empty promises. After all, their work partnership had gotten pretty tight lately—she wouldn't play such life-threatening jokes. "Do you need something?" Just as he thought, Specter stood there without moving. He spoke with resignation, "I've put in all this effort and planned everything down to the last detail. Yet, I couldn't even scratch you. I'm honestly shocked."Felix pursed his lips. "You haven't seen anything yet." With a growing smile, Specter replied, "You've won! I'll back off from Hollow Soul. I can't face it alone anyway, and those losers I recruited were useless against you. I'm out of options." Felix felt a wave of relief wash over him as he nodded. He'd finally dealt with a major threat. Zara would be safe with Gerald, but Felix worried that he couldn't handle Specter. If his attacks continued, someone he cared about might get hurt o

Trembling, Ashton raised his hand to reveal a small silver square token in his palm. Made of some unknown metal, it had the character "Blue" inscribed on it. "Take this token and disguise yourself as me. Go to the forest about half a mile from Mount Dalinton. Then, find a treehouse there—underneath is our meeting spot." Felix drew the token toward himself but didn't notice anything special about it as he continued listening."A middleman contacted me with an invitation to explore an ancient tomb. It belongs to one of Francis' descendants. He was certain there were soul cultivation treasures inside and promised those would be mine, though I can't touch anything else." When Felix heard that it could be a tomb of Francis' descendant, he was thrilled inside but kept his expression neutral. Instead, he asked, "Why should I believe you?" Ashton had anticipated this question, so he hurriedly replied, "It's absolutely true! Francis Thane was the top alchemist of the Bronze Age. How co
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1391
Felix found it hard to breathe. It was not from shock but because the air had been completely sucked out of this place. The peak Grandmaster Realm masters who had looked down on him earlier were now all sliced into pieces, scattered everywhere. Even the middle-aged man who had fled first ended up the same way a few hundred yards away.Only Ashton remained on the ground, coughing up blood nonstop. Over a thousand sword marks covered his body. If it was not for the blood seeping through, they wouldn't even be visible through his clothes. These weren't just ordinary people or average martial artists, but five incredibly powerful peak Grandmaster Realm masters. Yet Dahlia had defeated them all with a single move. It was absolutely terrifying.As the air rushed back in, Dahlia spoke, "I kept him alive. You probably have questions for him." Felix smiled bitterly, finally understanding the gap between himself and Dahlia. He could only imagine how much stronger Eleanor had to be. "Tha

Felix said, "We've all worked our way up, so stop saying such nonsense. Where are my two friends now? "You're all martial artists who have reached the peak of Grandmaster Realm—you're practically legends who have been living under the radar. Do you really need to resort to something as low as kidnapping?" Ashton opened his eyes and let out a cold laugh. "How else would I get you here when you know it's a lion's den?" Ashton jumped down from the boulder, taking a deep breath. "You should know very well your friends won't appear now. I can only guarantee you that they're still alive." Just as he was about to continue, Felix's phone rang. A glimmer of joy flashed in his eyes when he saw it was Karina calling. "Felix, your friends have been rescued. They were being guarded by a martial artist who's reached the peak of Grandmaster Realm, but I chased them away." Felix felt way more at ease now. Karina had never let him down; she had indeed rescued them. The only surprising par

At sunrise, Ashton sat cross-legged on a large boulder at the foot of a mountain in Dragonia. With his eyes closed, he was waiting for Felix's arrival. But his mind wasn't nearly as calm as he appeared. Bonnie had died at Felix's hands, which only showed they had underestimated Felix's soul abilities. But with the Ancient Sage's Mirror Shard, that wasn't too concerning. However, Terrence's death had truly shocked him. Both he and Terrence were among the Four Inferior Protectors of the Eight Guardians, and they were evenly matched. They had competed more than once, but it always ended in a draw. Though they never fought to the death, this gave a pretty good indication of their relative abilities. Yet, despite this, Felix had killed Terrence. This was why Ashton had accepted the stranger's proposal to work together against Felix. Otherwise, with Terrence's fate as a warning, going alone would be nothing short of suicide. Not far from Ashton stood four people. There were three e

So, it was Specter! The call had ended, but Felix now understood what was actually going on. The one working with Ashton had to be Specter. Of course, Specter himself probably wouldn't show up. After all, Donna had already informed Felix that Specter wouldn't trouble him anymore, or she would take action against Specter regardless of the consequences. Specter must have sent others to do his dirty work. Besides, Specter had his own concerns—Zara was now his absolute nemesis. He certainly wouldn't appear in person until he had regained enough strength to fight. Felix sighed helplessly and slowly took out his phone. With two lives at stake, he really couldn't handle this situation alone. Elsewhere, Donna was with Specter. "I promised I wouldn't bother Felix anymore, and I'll keep my word. I've already tested your limits, so why are you still watching me like a hawk?" Specter sipped his tea in small gulps, seemingly in a good mood. "Watching you?" Donna scoffed. "Go ahead the
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1387
Felix's face turned ashen. Despite the fact that both Jack and Madeline were secretly protected by martial artists of the Transcendent Realm, his worst fears had come true. "Are the protectors dead?" he asked.To his surprise, Xena shook her head. "No. For whatever reason—maybe caution on their part—the attackers just knocked out the protection team." What frustrated Felix most was not knowing which faction was responsible. The only group he could rule out was the Ancient Sage's Eight Guardians. Regardless of everything else, the Ancient Sage had a reputation to maintain and understood the principle of not harming families. If they hadn't played by the rules, the Eight Guardians would have already attacked Felix as a group, not one by one. That left the Hall of Souls and Specter as the most likely culprits. One had no moral boundaries and had already betrayed both country and humanity, so what other ethics would they possibly observe? As for Specter, being an S-tier Malevole

Koros opened his eyes with difficulty, and they were filled with utter disbelief. Felix wasn't about to waste time with words. He knew to strike while the iron was hot, so he immediately launched his attack. He could tell that what appeared before him wasn't Koros' physical form, but his soul. With a miserable scream, Koros had no chance to fight back and was crushed on the spot by Felix. When it was all over, Felix was breathing heavily. To prevent any unexpected situations, he had really given his all, draining his soul energy at a frightening rate. "Well, at least the job's done." Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Felix managed a faint smile. He had gained a renewed respect for how dangerous S-tier Malevolent Phantoms could be. He had gone all out this time, even using Lone Paragon to enhance his soul combat power for the first time. Meanwhile, the Mystical Explosive Orb began replenishing his energy rapidly. After the pleasant sensation subsided, Felix remained at the H

With a loud bang, the woman's body crashed heavily to the floor in an instant. It was clear that something wasn't right with Koros. Koros asked, "Are you bowing to me? You stupid brat, did you think that would stop me from killing you?" Upon seeing Felix suddenly bow, Koros laughed even more uncontrollably. "Sorry." Only Felix knew who this bow was really for. It was for the woman, of course. With her mental disability, she likely felt little even as she died. And now that her soul was finally healed, she'd never get to experience what that meant.A soul wave spread throughout Medic's Haven. Then Felix watched as countless insects swarmed toward Koros at speeds that seemed like teleportation. In less than a second, Koros disappeared. In his place was a pure black shell, like an egg about ten feet in diameter. Strange black light danced across its surface. At this moment, Felix did not dare waste a second. This was exactly what he had been waiting for. "Lone Paragon!" He
