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

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

It would have been too much of a reckless gamble to take Zara away by force."Don't worry, sir. Zara's strength is no match for mine. My mentor once said that the Twinshade Body only activates after falling in love and being intimate with someone they love. If she comes to me, I can completely restrain her and hand her over to you," Felix said.However, Silas shook his head immediately."That won't work. There's something I haven't told you. Do you remember the time Zara saved your life?""Of course."That poisoning incident was something Felix would never forget for the rest of his life."The stunning beauty you were with in your dream? That was the real Zara! Yes, her true appearance is just that flawless."Felix was stunned, like a bolt of lightning had struck him. Could there really be such a perfect woman in this world, with a figure and looks beyond reproach?"Now imagine this. If Zara regains her true appearance and stands before you, as a man—especially one who's alread
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 693
At that moment, the kind of temptation no man could resist was fully unveiled.It was especially so when Zara revealed her breathtaking, flawless face. It was simply beauty at its absolute peak. Her delicate hand lifted slightly, and the smooth curve of her shoulder began to show.Felix was caught completely off guard. He hadn't anticipated Zara breaking her word so abruptly, let alone launching such a powerful move without a single warning.His hands trembled violently as he tried to summon a burst of energy or a forceful wave to knock her unconscious. However, his body wouldn't respond. Some deep, primal urge in his mind held him back, preventing him from taking decisive action. And in the depths of his consciousness, the memories of their intimate dream became even more vivid."Am I beautiful? Don't you want to have me—truly have me?"Zara stepped closer to Felix, and with each step, a captivating fragrance grew stronger. It wasn't just a scent that filled his nose. It seemed
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 694
Felix let out a bitter laugh, thinking, "Aren't I just as guilty?"Overconfidence was a flaw, and today, he had fully realized it. He had already experienced Zara's perfection in his dreams, so he should have known how terrifyingly overwhelming her allure could be. Yet, here they were.Silas soon departed with his spirits crushed, leaving Felix to return to the villa. Sitting on the living room couch, he softly called out, "Karina."As expected, Karina appeared across from him, as if out of thin air."So, you've finally crossed that line?"Her tone was calm, not reflecting the turmoil that would typically accompany the eruption of the Twinshade Body."Yes," Felix admitted. "I overestimated myself. Karina, could you please contact Mr. Hoffman? Perhaps I don't have the right to claim responsibility for everything, but whatever consequences there are, I won't avoid them."Without another word, Karina dialed a number and, after a brief exchange, handed the phone to Felix."You br
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 695
Felix's hands trembled while holding his phone—his entire body was overcome with fear. He was so anxious he couldn't bring himself to press the answer button.In the end, it was Karina who stepped in, unable to watch him struggle any longer. She reached over and answered the call, putting it on speaker mode."Mr. Zeller, a chemical plant caught fire. So far, 35 fatalities have been confirmed."Felix felt a whirlwind of emotions. On one hand, it was good news that this wasn't connected to Zara. However, it was bad news that over 30 lives had been consumed by the merciless flames."I understand. I'll transfer some money to you. Please make sure it's distributed to the families of the deceased," Felix said.Not knowing about the incident was one thing. Now that he knew, there was no way he could ignore it. Felix wasn't a saint, but he wasn't heartless either."By the way, Karina, what does Dahlia need me to do?" he asked.Karina handed him a piece of paper. "Donate ten million doll

Ginny was naturally present as well, and she spoke up at that moment. "Mr. Goldstein, no one wanted to see Justus die like that. But why did you bring your people to Longstone residence? Are you suggesting that his sudden death has something to do with us?"Joaquin's expression grew darker as he looked at her. He blamed Ginny for this, thinking that none of this would have happened if she had just agreed earlier. And now, they couldn't even determine the cause of death."No connection? That doctor from your household, Felix Zeller—he's the one responsible for Justus' death."Right then, someone spoke up from the crowd. "That's him! That's Felix Zeller!"Felix, who had been calmly sitting in a chair, finally saw Wagner standing among them. And in that moment, everything made sense."Wagner? You've gotten quite bold, huh?" Gras sneered.Wagner flinched at Gras's words, but remembering that he now had the Goldsteins backing him, he stiffened his spine and stood tall. "Cut the crap

In Cloud City, there were a few noble families. Nonetheless, behind the polite smiles, tensions surged. Infiltrating each other's estates with spies had practically become a tradition. While they rarely uncovered major secrets, the information they did gather always gave them a head start.So when the news broke, Gras didn't doubt it for a second. He jumped to his feet, furious. "This is outrageous! Their son dies, and somehow it's the Longstone family's fault?"Ryker looked just as puzzled, agreeing that the accusation made no sense.But Felix let out a quiet, weary sigh. "Mr. Longstone, I'm afraid this is probably my fault. I'm a doctor, and I've gotten a bit of attention lately. After they failed to determine the cause of Justus' death, and given our meeting earlier today, they likely saw an opportunity to drag your family into the mess." Gras's expression darkened, knowing that Felix wasn't wrong. After all, doctors could also be poisoners, and plenty of martial artists had fa

It was clear someone had said something to Justus. Otherwise, this situation wouldn't have escalated to this point.Felix said calmly, "It was a standard therapeutic massage technique, and I was blindfolded the entire time. Does that explanation satisfy you? Or would you rather find someone else capable of treating Ms. Longstone—I'll gladly step aside if you can."Justus sneered, his eyes filled with disdain. "Cut the crap, Felix. Don't act like I don't know exactly what's going through your head. Ginny's the heiress of the Longstone residence—Gras's precious jewel. Everyone knows that marrying her is like securing the entire household. Don't tell me that thought never crossed your mind.""It didn't," Felix said simply.Unfortunately, that answer was never going to satisfy Justus. He snarled, "Listen up, boy! I'm giving you three days to get the hell out of the Longstone residence. If you don't, you won't even get the chance to regret it. Everyone else might be afraid of Gras—but I
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1533
As Wagner watched Justus explode in rage, he felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction. With what he'd just uncovered, there was no need to exaggerate—it was already explosive enough on its own.After all, Justus' future fiancée was touched in that kind of intimate way by a young, healthy doctor. Any man with a spine would lose it."But Justus," Wagner added with a smirk. "Didn't Felix just get publicly praised by the Green King?"Cloud City wasn't that big. Anyone with any influence had been keeping close tabs on Green King Manor—especially with the mystery man who walked out of Desolated Lands involved. So, the news of Felix being rewarded had already spread far and wide.Justus clenched his jaw. "So what? It's just a flash in the pan. If he was truly skilled, the Green King would've kept him. But as long as he hasn't climbed into the Green King's inner circle, I can crush him whenever I want."Wagner's grin widened. That was exactly the attitude he needed. If Justus had shown

The moment the Flame Monarch mentioned the Healer Sage, the Green King's expression shifted noticeably. "So the Sage really was living out there in seclusion... No wonder. Flame Monarch, does this mean you've taken a liking to Felix?"But the Flame Monarch waved his hand dismissively. "There's no need for that."That response made the Green King secretly rejoice. If the Flame Monarch didn't intend to recruit Felix, then he understood why—and that was perfect. It meant the opportunity to take Felix under his own wing was wide open.The night passed quietly. Felix stood beside Christopher's bedside, noticing the man's breathing had grown steady and stable.At this point, the herb had run its course and was no longer effective. But what was left inside Christopher's soul—a strange, lingering force—was exactly what Felix had hoped for.Christopher was alive but completely unconscious. The remaining energy had no regenerative properties, which meant he'd likely never wake again. For Fe

Felix wasn't the least bit surprised by the Flame Monarch's reaction, but he still feigned confusion. "Flame Monarch, I'm sorry... but I don't understand. What do you mean by soul-related injuries?"Just from that single line, Felix confirmed what he suspected—Aquamarinus had no concept of soul-based matters. Whether it was training methods or anything else, this realm hadn't yet touched that domain.The Flame Monarch stared at him, pressure radiating from his body. Felix immediately felt his limbs start to tremble under the invisible weight."You don't know? Then how could you claim to treat that man's condition?" Felix calmly pointed toward the herbs laid out on the table. "The force inside him is definitely strange. It triggered a memory... I once sensed something very similar, and it came from within that herb. It was purely instinct—when something feels familiar, there's a chance it might work."The Flame Monarch shifted his gaze to the herb, then said flatly, "Start from th

Felix gave him a direct and honest answer. "As long as I have enough herbs. I can treat him. I won't promise a full recovery, but one thing I can guarantee you is that this man won't die."For now, that was the best possible answer anyone could offer.The Flame Monarch replied, "Good. Begin. As long as you can keep him alive, you'll be handsomely rewarded."It seemed the Flame Monarch already knew something and never truly expected anyone to completely cure Christopher. Preserving his life alone would already be a feat."Flame Monarch, please reconsider!" one of the elderly doctors suddenly cut in, seething with resentment. "This boy is barely grown—how could he possibly possess such remarkable skill in medicine?"The Flame Monarch turned and gave him a cold, mocking glance. "If he can't do it, then can you?"The old man went silent. Perhaps fearing the loss of favor or acting out of sheer pride, he hesitated. Eventually, he found the courage to speak again."I admit I can't, bu
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1529
The Green King's expression changed instantly, and he turned to Felix in a hurry. "Dr. Zeller, please come with me to greet him.""Of course," Felix replied.For anyone in Aquamarinus, getting the chance to see the Flame Monarch up close was like a once-in-a-lifetime dream, and people would probably die happy just for that. Naturally, Felix put on a show of reverence as well, even if he didn't feel it deep down.As they reached the front gate, Felix saw several figures striding toward them with heavy steps. At the front of the group was a towering man, nearly nine feet tall. Even someone as built as Dave looked like a delicate bystander next to him.What stood out the most was his bright crimson hair, which flared upward like flames, making it look like his head was on fire. His facial features were fairly average, but the power behind his gaze radiated pure, undeniable authority.So, this was the Flame Monarch?Felix studied him closely. He suspected the man had cultivated some

According to the rules set by the Flame Monarch, the position of Minor Kings rotated every five years. Those who made outstanding contributions could keep their titles, but anyone who fell short would have to fight for their place all over again.The Green King knew he wasn't particularly strong—he was painfully aware of that. And with the next year marking the fifth year, the pressure was mounting fast. So when Christopher appeared, it felt like fate. If he could heal this man before the Flame Monarch arrived with his elite doctors, the credit would be immense, and his reappointment would be virtually guaranteed. Anyone who had never held a Minor King title wouldn't understand just how many perks came with it. If they did, no one would give it up willingly."I can treat him," Felix said calmly. "But I can't promise a full recovery."The Green King smiled. "Do your best. Even if you can only keep him alive, that alone is worth it."Two doctors before had said that Christopher's b
