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

"The Jacobs family? You must really know Yartford inside out. So much so that you can tell who lives at every address you see." Felix joked.Suddenly, Felix froze. "Wait a minute, which Jacobs family are you talking about?"George shot him a wry smile. "The Jacobs family at the top of the Eight Great Martial Families. Apart from them, there's no other Jacobs family worth remembering."Felix was stunned. After all, with the Scarlet Thread still in him, he was walking straight into a trap."Isn't the top of the Eight Great Martial Families in Yartford the Crayden family?" Felix asked. "Each city only has one family from the Eight Great Martial Families, so how could the Jacobs family and Crayden family both be in Yartford?"George explained, "You're right, Felix. The Jacobs family in Yartford isn't the main branch. It's just where some of the older members of the family go to retire. It shouldn't really be the case, but the Jacobs family is so powerful that the Crayden family doesn'

"This is the Miracle Card. Please take a look," someone said.As the Jacobs family was at the top of the Eight Great Martial Families, it was no surprise that they had a Miracle Card. After a quick inspection, it was confirmed as real, and Felix immediately put it away."Take me to the patient," Felix said.If anyone else had behaved so arrogantly after entering the Jacobs family's doors, they would have been beaten senseless by now. However, Felix was likely the mysterious apprentice of the legendary miracle doctor, so they felt that acting with such confidence was only fitting."Grandpa, who is that person? Why is everyone treating him like a star?"A young man looked on with disdain as Felix made his way through the Jacobs family estate."Shut your mouth, you brat! That person is probably the mysterious apprentice of the medical master. Are you trying to destroy the Jacobs family by saying stuff like that?"The young man didn't take it seriously. "Hmph! If it weren't for Maso
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 687
The newcomer was a young man, the same one who had earlier looked at Felix from a distance with great disdain."How do we know that you've truly cured him? His back might be straightened, but who can guarantee how long it will last?"Felix ignored the young man's aggressive attitude and didn't even respond. Several elderly figures immediately rushed over."Shut up, you impudent brat! How dare you speak out of line?" they scolded.Levi approached Felix with an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry. That young relative is ignorant and rude. Please forgive him."Felix nodded without saying much and turned to leave.Even so, the young man was still seething with anger, though he dared not speak up anymore.He dared to behave this way because, after Mason's death, he was the most talented and gifted young member of the Jacobs family. He had just reached the Innate Realm the day before. He had been summoned to that place by his elders to receive guidance, which made him bold but not reckless

Felix laughed and said, "It's fine, don't worry about it too much.""That's good. By the way, don't forget about my wedding," Jack said.After the phone call ended, Felix and his companions had a few more drinks. Then, they personally took him to the airport. Felix arrived back in Gray City just as the sun was setting.Having just built a good relationship with Willow, Felix felt it was best to seize the opportunity. Even staying a night in Yartford felt like a loss to him.As he was nearing his home, Felix spotted a woman who turned her head as if sensing his presence."Zara Morgan?" he called out.Felix frowned. As soon as Zara took a step, Felix ran off. After all, he had already promised Silas to avoid her.Some time later at night, a call from Kurt came through."What's the situation?" Felix asked."The woman is still standing at the door and hasn't left," Kurt replied.Felix felt a headache brewing from the news he heard. "I understand. Keep watching her."It seemed

The Twinshade Body? Felix scoured his mind but couldn't find any information about it, so he had no choice but to admit, "I've never heard of it."Silas was visibly disappointed, and he stopped himself from saying more. Rising to his feet, Silas said, "Just hold on for a few more days. I've been trying to find a solution, and I've already contacted Lemuel. He's promised to give me an answer soon. I can only ask for your patience for now."As he spoke, Silas unexpectedly bowed, which startled Felix. Felix asked, "What are you doing, sir?" Silas waved his hand. "This is something my apprentice and I owe you. It has nothing to do with you. You're a victim in all of this. I'm already very grateful that you respect me. Once I have the results, I'll contact you right away."With that, Silas left, leaving Felix feeling unsettled and anxious.It kind of felt like when a beautiful woman had stirred him up to the point of burning with desire, only to tell him that she couldn't proceed

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
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1444
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
