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

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

"Don't worry, I'll contact the police immediately. We'll go together with them, and I'll bring all the necessary documents. No one will doubt us with both of us there," Dorian said.He genuinely admired Felix.As the manager of Concord Bank's branch in Gray City, Dorian had met more wealthy people than he could count. Most of them put on a polished act in public but often had less-than-noble motives behind closed doors. Even charity was usually just a way to reduce taxes or boost their public image. However, Felix was different. He didn't have to do this—especially for a small orphanage with no potential for fame. Yet here he was, determined to donate regardless.Even if Felix was not of his current status, Dorian would have gladly offered his help.When they returned to the orphanage, the director was utterly stunned. The old man began apologizing profusely."I'm so sorry, Mr. Zeller! I was narrow-minded for distrusting your kindness. Please forgive me!"Felix quickly stopped

Felix's expression turned a little strange. Could the security guard be one of those legendary hidden characters he only heard about in stories?"What kind of opportunity are you offering, sir?" Felix asked.The next moment, an overwhelming aura enveloped Felix."If you can casually donate ten million dollars, you must already be aware of the existence of Dragonia's most mysterious martial artists! I happen to be one of the top mentors among them. If you take me as your mentor, I'll teach you martial arts. Wouldn't that be the best?"Felix was truly stunned. This seemingly ordinary security guard turned out to be a Martial Saint-level expert. No matter how far they had fallen, figures of this caliber shouldn't end up as mere gatekeepers."There's no need, sir. I'm actually a martial artist myself."The older man frowned slightly but didn't push further."Fair enough. It seems fate isn't on our side. Young man, doing good deeds may not bring immediate results, but everything will

"Yes. Are you here to buy a car too?" Felix asked.Queenie nodded. "Yeah, the new pink Defender from Range Rover just came out. I'm planning to buy one.""Let's go in together! My friend's bestie works here as a sales rep. Of course, if you have someone you know here, that's fine too," Felix said.Queenie smiled and agreed, leaving Nelly speechless. Meeting such kind-hearted people made her feel that all the unpleasant things she had experienced before were worth it.The three of them entered the dealership, and Nelly's friend, Isabella Wells, who had already received the call, was waiting for them. She was a pretty girl with big waves in her hair, giving off a bright and cheerful vibe."Ladies first. Queenie, why don't you look at the Defender first?" Felix said.Queenie didn't hesitate. "Okay."The purchasing process went smoothly. Felix and Queenie were both straightforward people who didn't fuss over details. They paid the full amount without a second thought. Isabella was t
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 699
The middle-aged store manager's commanding presence was hard to ignore. When Isabella was suddenly called out by name, she froze on the spot. Nelly, standing nearby, also widened her eyes in shock.She had only heard of Kurt Gray once, and that was when she visited Felix's Tranquil Clinic. Even a tough guy like Huxley had been scared to death by him. Kurt was definitely someone extremely powerful.When did Isabella get to know him? Nelly had absolutely no idea."Nelly! What should I do? I… I was just bluffing. It was a casual chat with friends, saying that Mr. Gray was especially powerful and that no one dared to mess with him."Nelly didn't know what to do either. She knew Felix was familiar with Kurt, but why would he help now? Especially with so many people on the other side, stepping in carelessly could drag them all into trouble.Felix, standing off to the side, couldn't help but chuckle. It was amusing to see a young woman make such big claims. He didn't need to ask to kno

"Mr. Gray, I… I'm a subordinate of Jason," the group leader said."Get lost!"The simple command was delivered with such lethal force that it was like a bomb exploding. The group leader took two steps back in fear. As he quickly retreated, he said, "Yes, yes! Thank you, Mr. Gray!"In an instant, all the troublemakers scattered, and everyone in the store turned their attention to Isabella. Even her manager was left in utter shock.Isabella really did know Kurt. With just one phone call, she solved such a huge problem.Even Isabella herself couldn't believe it. She quickly ran over and handed the phone back to Felix."Thank you, Felix. I really don't know what I would have done without you."She wondered what kind of person Nelly's friend was, that he was even acquainted with Kurt Gray. On top of that, Kurt had even addressed him very respectfully.There were plenty of people who could afford a Range Rover, but only a few knew Kurt. The difference in status between the two grou

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
