"Felix, come over here!" Clement called out excitedly when Felix stepped back into the room.Clement had every reason to feel overjoyed—Darcy was the apple of his eye, and since he and Willow could not have another child, it felt like the entire family narrowly escaped a brush with death today. Hence, to the couple, no amount of gratitude toward Felix could ever feel like enough, especially since they were hitting it off so well in conversation."Sorry, something urgent just came up. I need to step out for now," Felix said, his expression genuinely apologetic.Clement and Willow quickly got to their feet. Clement replied, "No problem. Take care of what you need to do. We'll catch up another time."Felix had no choice but to leave abruptly—he had just sensed a Dragonspine's energy, and nothing could take precedence over that. If he did not act immediately, it would slip out of his range of perception, and the chances of running into it again would be slim to none.After stepping

After a moment of silence, the first man in black rubbed his chin thoughtfully as he stared at the box. He said, "What you're saying might actually be true. "According to the notes our ancestor left behind, if this box is opened, whatever is inside will fly out on its own. Something that magical really could be what they're after.""No kidding!" the second man retorted, his voice laced with impatience. "Why else would we go through the trouble of using the old portrait instead of opening the box for a fresh picture? If the notes are right and it flies away, we'd be left with nothing but regrets."He licked his lips and added, "If this actually works out, it'll all be worth killing those six idiots in the family. That took some effort, didn't it?"Suddenly, the door burst open with a loud bang, and a gust of wind swept through the room. Before the two men could even react, they collapsed unconscious on the floor. When the dust settled, the only thing missing was the box on the tabl

"Felix?" Asher scoffed at the name, his expression filled with disdain. "You've got to be kidding me. Those two were Aetherial Realm experts! "To steal from them, someone must be at least Oceanus Realm, if not higher. Are you seriously saying Felix is already at that level?"The old man's smile did not falter as he shifted his gaze to Aiden, completely ignoring Asher as though he did not exist."If you could watch everything unfold, why didn't you step in to grab the box yourself? Or better yet, kill Felix?" Aiden asked, remaining calm and composed as if the entire conversation was a casual chat. He continued, "Are you perhaps some kind of friend of his?"The old man clapped his hands twice, the sound breaking the tension in the room. "Impressive," he said with genuine admiration. "The infamous prodigy of the Greene family. Unshaken even in the face of chaos. I respect that."He paused before adding, "Due to certain... circumstances, I couldn't attack Felix myself. My role was

Felix had been so excited last night that he completely forgot to text Melissa and let her know he would not make it to work. After all, once the refining process started, he could not stop, even if he wanted to. It was supposed to take a full day and night, but to his surprise, it went much faster than expected." Looks like you've just decided to throw in the towel," Melissa huffed as Felix walked into the clinic.Before he could respond, five men with menacing expressions barged into the clinic."Who's the doctor here?" one of them demanded.Felix glanced up calmly. "That would be me. Are you here for treatment?"The group leader, a young man, stormed over and grabbed Felix by the collar. "So you're the doctor? You've got some nerve, being this young and running a clinic! I'm shutting this place down today."Felix stayed calm, but Melissa was not having it. "Hey! What's that supposed to mean? Explain yourself!" she snapped.The young man sneered, motioning for someone to st

Without warning, the middle-aged man struck a palm through the air toward Felix.Caught off guard, Felix barely had time to raise his arms to block. The impact sent him, chair and all, staggering several feet back with a loud thud.Blood spurted from Felix's mouth, and his face turned ashen."Felix!" Melissa cried out in panic, rushing toward him. The middle-aged man, however, didn't even flinch. He simply turned around and left, making no further moves."I'm fine. I don't think he was trying to kill me," Felix said, shooting Melissa a meaningful glance as he spoke.Was he telling her to keep quiet? Feeling confused, Melissa said, "Despite the situation, you're still worried about me saying too much?""Are we just going to let this slide? Call the police!" she suggested, trying to play along, even if she didn't fully understand his intent."There's no need for that. Just help me sit down," Felix replied.A street away, Asher and Aiden sat in the back seat of a car. The middle-a

It was clear that Queenie was well-liked. She and Willow chatted like old friends, their conversation free of any awkwardness."Oh, is that so? That must've slipped my mind. Everyone, please sit," Clement said warmly, raising his glass."Our previous neighbors were all elderly folks. My wife and I are pretty sociable, so it's great to finally have a group like this together. Let me start things off with a toast!"The others joined in, raising their glasses. Felix smiled and added, "From now on, just call me Felix. Calling me 'Dr. Zeller' feels too formal. We're all neighbors here."As the drinks kept flowing, Clement reached for the wine decanter again."Honey, you need to slow down!" Willow said hurriedly. "You've got that business trip to Yartford tomorrow.""Relax! Don't you know my tolerance by now? Don't kill the mood!" he replied.Without pushing further, Willow got up and left the room to settle the bill. She knew how things would play out—Clement would drink too much,

Willow and Queenie gasped in fear as Clement charged forward. He raised his fist, only to have a knife pressed against his neck."Playing the hero? Look around. Do you think you're a match for all of us?" Zechariah taunted.Meanwhile, Felix had quietly emerged from the restroom. No one noticed his return.He assessed the situation calmly. With his skills, he could have easily intervened and neutralized the threat in moments, but he chose not to. Clement needed this moment—to stand his ground as a man and protect his pride. Felix also had his own priorities. He was the one seeking help from Clement and had to tread carefully.He was considering intervening when he spotted a familiar figure loitering near the doorway."Huxley," Felix called out with a faint smile.Huxley, who had been enjoying the spectacle, froze. When he turned and saw Felix, his legs nearly gave way."F-Felix?" he stammered.Huxley was usually the type to rush into a fight, but ever since his traumatic encou

Huxley was standing beside Zechariah after he hung up the call, trembling with fear."I'm serious. Clement really does have a friend who knows Mr. Gray," he said nervously, following Felix's instructions word for word.But Zechariah wasn't having it. To his surprise, Zechariah swung a hard slap across Huxley's face."Bullshit! If Clement had a friend like that, would he still be groveling at the bank and begging for a measly loan?"Kurt was no minor figure. In a city like Gray City, there was probably not more than ten people who could afford to disrespect him. For someone like him, getting a loan approved was child's play."I know you're friends with Clement, but if you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for what happens next!" Zechariah snapped.At that moment, Felix walked in, his expression calm as ever."Huxley was giving you some good advice. However, it doesn't seem like you're accepting it," Felix said casually."Huh?" Zechariah glanced at him sideways, sizing him up

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
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1445
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
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1438
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
