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 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

"At that time, all the righteous and evil factions united to hunt him down. After trapping him, they fought for nine days and nights. There were countless casualties before they finally killed the Twinshade Body's owner," Gerald explained.Felix's mouth hung open in shock, imagining just how intense that battle must have been—it was too exaggerated to even comprehend."Is the Twinshade Body really that terrifying?" Felix asked."Yes! Before the body fully erupts, the person is just like an ordinary human. Only someone at the level of a master healer could detect it by physically touching the body. No matter how strong the martial artist, they wouldn't sense it. But once it erupts, controlling it is nearly impossible."Before Felix could ask more questions, Gerald continued, "If I'm not mistaken, Silas must have used the Ultimate Needle Technique to seal Zara's Twinshade Body. "After the incident in the Era of King Arthur, this formation was researched and became the only way to t
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 691
When Felix arrived at the villa's entrance, Silas, despite coughing up blood, stood firm in front of Zara.Standing across from them was none other than Karina. Who would have thought she would arrive so quickly? It was as if she had been nearby the whole time."If you insist on this, don't blame me for being ruthless," she said.Karina's expression was cold and unyielding. She had already injured Silas with one strike, but she hadn't delivered a fatal blow out of consideration. However, seeing that Silas refused to step aside, she had no reason to hold back anymore.Felix knew how serious Karina was about her tasks, especially when they came from their mentor. Without wasting time on pointless pleas like "spare him", he pushed his speed to the limit. Even resorting to using the Speed Talisman Gerald had given him, he barely managed to intercept Karina at the critical moment.Knowing he wasn't her match, Felix shouted as he threw himself at Karina, holding her back."Take her a

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

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
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1197
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

Angie did not show any look of disdain to Felix, and she seemed like a nice woman. Felix replied, "You're right, Ms. Sinclair. I'll remember that." Just then, Lindsay arrived, and the atmosphere immediately became more lively. "Hey, one's my high school friend, and the other is my college friend. What a rare moment! Cheers!" After a while, Angie asked, "Lindsay, how's your entertainment career going?" Lindsay pouted. "Not great. Without a big-shot mentor as a middleman, breaking into two fields is tough. You know how it is." Angie looked sympathetic and helpless, sighing. "I can't really help with that. My dad might know some people in entertainment, but your fame is actually bigger than mine." Hearing this, Felix asked, "So, you want to do movies and TV?" Lindsay nodded. "Yeah, that's actually my dream. How fulfilling would that be to make a few films with great reviews? They might be remembered for hundreds of years! "Music's okay, but it's just sounds without a face.

Felix asked, "Is your boss a Malevolent Phantom?" Hearing this, Reeco sneered. "Are you regretting what you've done? Too bad now. It won't help. But if you kneel and knock your head on the ground a few times, I might consider letting you go." A crisp sound rang out. Both young men collapsed to the ground while clutching one of their arms in pain, which was clearly broken. "Go ahead and send that Malevolent Phantom after me." Felix had figured it out. Whatever Malevolent Phantom they were talking about was probably just somebody's nickname. No actual Malevolent Phantom would be this brazen. Those Phantoms knew exactly how officials referred to them ever since they existed on this planet. Acting like this would be suicide. …The next day, Felix received a call from Marley at 10:00 am. "Mr. Zeller, the supplementary investigation is complete."Felix immediately perked up. This could determine the entire investigation's direction. "Were any of the dead victims known to have

Felix said, "Maybe you should check out this video." Chloe was scared at first and was ready to scream for her friends. But when she saw her friends in the video, curiosity got the best of her, and she kept watching. As those nasty comments hit her ears, she saw the pure disgust in their eyes. Finally, she broke down. "You never really know people. It's best to just walk away from these young men." Chloe fought back tears as she glanced at the two young men, who were still chatting away. She muttered a quick thanks before heading in the opposite direction. Felix followed her and said, "I'm a traditional medicine practitioner. I can cure your body odor." What? Chloe looked totally shocked. As someone dealing with body odor, she knew how impossible it was to treat the condition. But her guard went up instantly. "I don't even know you. Stop following me." She knew better than to believe in free services from strangers. Even though Felix had just helped her, who knew what h

Felix's nose picked up that nasty smell. Even with all that perfume, the stink was impossible to miss. He zeroed in on a good-looking woman in her 20s, who was sitting with two guys and chowing down on barbecue. She looked like she was part of the group, but her eyes gave away her total lack of confidence. He snapped a quick photo and turned to Lindsay, who was already enjoying a fresh plate of barbecue. "You probably shouldn't eat too much. Aren't you afraid of putting on weight?" Lindsay just let out a devilish chuckle. "I'm one of those lucky people who never gain weight. My manager's just worried I'll wreck my voice. Most singers won't touch spicy food, and some won't even eat anything crunchy. "They're scared of some freak accident, but I couldn't care less." After Felix ordered some food, Lindsay finally felt satisfied with all the food she had. "I'm not going to let you buy me dinner for free. Come have lunch with me tomorrow. I've got a college buddy in Kashmere. She'
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1192
After Marley finished her call, Felix asked, "Had the victim only visited one dental clinic?" "Yes, throughout the two years she lived in Kashmere, her medical records show only this single dental clinic." She had only gone for a teeth cleaning. Felix continued reviewing the file but found no other suspicious details. Was this really connected to body odor? Even he was becoming uncertain. Felix remembered an incident from his past when he was accompanying Gerald to a village. They had found an elderly person recently deceased. He was lying on a mat in the yard while emanating a peculiar fragrance. Gerald had commented that the human body was mysterious, with some unexplainable phenomena. Could this woman's death be categorized the same way? Felix left the headquarters. Wandering aimlessly through the streets, his mind was a tangled mess. If every supernatural killing case proceeded like this, investigation would be incredibly challenging. Eventually, the smell of barbecue
