"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 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

Inside a temporarily requisitioned shop opposite Tranquil Clinic, everyone wore tense expressions. Their disbelief was evident in their furrowed brows and doubtful gazes."Confirm the information again. I find it hard to believe," said a burly middle-aged man, his imposing presence hinting at years spent in a position of power.He was none other than the Warlord of Thunder, one of Dragonia's five mighty warlords, and a figure of immense authority and influence."The suspect currently holding a hostage in the clinic has claimed over the phone to be Candace, ranked as the Five of Hearts among the Thirteen Aces, a group of Super S-rank wanted criminals. It's still unclear whether the claim is genuine," Alistair reported.This was precisely why the Warlord of Thunder was skeptical. The Thirteen Aces, and not just any member but the fifth-ranked, appeared suddenly in a bustling city and personally called the authorities—it was absurd to the extreme.Xena, the Phoenix Warlord, was also

"Inform Candace that the owner is on their way. Let's stabilize the situation for now. What do you think, Warlord of Thunder ?" Xena asked tactfully, giving the Warlord of Thunder the respect his position warranted.He nodded. "That's workable. But convincing the owner to go inside—that's the real challenge."When faced with a ruthless and murderous criminal like this, stepping in would be as good as a death sentence. As an official organization, they had to disclose every detail without hiding anything. It was a daunting task, as any ordinary person would likely shrink back."I'll handle the persuasion," Xena offered. "Let's move to the shop next door. Too many people might make the owner more nervous."A few minutes later, Alistair entered the shop, his expression slightly unusual."Warlords, the owner is here," he informed them."Good. Send them in, and you step out," Xena instructed.But Alistair hesitated, standing rooted to the spot, prompting Xena's displeasure."Is some

"Stop!" Xena's sharp voice rang out, and in an instant, Alistair and one of the Warlord of Thunder's commanders stepped forward, blocking Felix's path."One minute? You don't seem like an ordinary person," the Warlord of Thunder said coldly. "I explained the gravity of the situation to you, even prepared to discuss how to handle it once inside, and yet here you are, blindly confident. Who do you think you are?"Given Felix's attitude, there was no way the Warlord of Thunder would remain polite. Even Xena, who had been silent, was visibly furious."Felix! I know you're strong, but the enemy here is Candace Shadowmere—the Five of Hearts from the Thirteen Aces. This isn't as simple as you think! We're in a crowded area. If this gets out of control, do you realize how many lives could be lost? Can you bear that responsibility?"Felix turned slightly but showed no emotional reaction. He understood their concerns—they prioritized the bigger picture."I said one minute, and I mean one mi

"Hey! Am I not your employee anymore? I've been working so hard, and now something happens, and you're just dusting me off your hands?" Melissa complained, her voice full of indignation.Felix frowned, his temper flaring. "Be clear with your words! Who's dusting their hands? If someone overhears, they'll misunderstand!"Nearby, Candace's neck veins bulged in anger as she pointed a trembling finger at them. "You're asking for death!"She was the infamous Five of Hearts from the Thirteen Aces, a name that struck fear into countless people. Yet, these two had the audacity to flirt in front of her?"Shut up, you old hag! You're just a dying woman making noise. What's your problem?" Felix snapped.Felix shot Candace a single glance. Her entire body stiffened, her breathing halted, and her eyes were filled with sheer terror."Y-You're not secretly some ancient monster in disguise, are you?" Candace stammered.As someone at the Oceanus Realm, she couldn't believe that a mere look from

Tens of thousands of people? The weight of that number was staggering. In Dragonia, where large-scale incidents had been avoided for years, even a disaster involving a few hundred people would be considered catastrophic—something no one could afford to be held accountable for.It was precisely this fear of collateral damage that had Xena and the Warlord of Thunder so concerned earlier.Felix, on the other hand, didn't seem particularly moved. After all, there was no guarantee that what Candace was saying was true.For all he knew, she could just be spewing nonsense in a desperate attempt to avoid death.But the expression on the Warlord of Thunder and Xena's faces had completely changed. If Candace had shared this information privately with only the two of them present, they might have dismissed it as a lie.However, with so many people in the clinic, including civilians like Felix and Melissa, they couldn't take that risk. If they ignored her and a tragedy of this magnitude actua

No one showed Felix where to go, with only Asher standing beside him as they waited for Aiden to return."Felix, don't be so stubborn. You can't fight the inevitable! You should be grateful that Grandma is willing to let you return to the Greene family," Asher urged, but Felix remained silent."If it weren't for Uncle Victor, do you think I'd be this patient with you? Today is your best chance—if you cure Grandma, you'll prove your worth, and no one will oppose your return to the family."When Felix continued ignoring him, Asher finally became quiet. Ten minutes later, Aiden appeared, pushing a wheelchair, followed by over a dozen impressive-looking individuals.Felix studied the elderly woman in the wheelchair. Despite her silver hair, her skin showed remarkably few wrinkles—a testament to decades of careful maintenance. "Grandma, this is Felix Zeller," Aiden announced.Meredith Armstrong, the Greene family matriarch, did not even bother to flash a smile. She said coldly, "Vict

Felix could not understand why these two had shown up again, especially since his dealings at the Obsidian Auction with the Dragonspine should have left no traces."I won't say it twice," Asher warned, but Aiden ignored him and turned to the woman instead."What seems to be the problem?" Aiden asked, his demeanor commanding respect.Intimidated by Aiden's imposing presence, the woman reluctantly answered, "I have a terrible headache."Aiden snapped his fingers, and his men immediately placed stacks of cash on the table. "Here's 100 thousand dollars. It's all yours—how's your headache now?"The woman excitedly clutched the money to her chest, backing toward the door with a broad smile. "It's gone! The pain is completely gone! Thank you so much!" In the inner room, Melissa felt furious even without seeing what happened. She would have stormed out to confront them if Nala had not held her back."Felix, isn't my way of treating patients faster and more effective than yours?" Aiden

"We still can't confirm if he's really from the Bronze Age over 2000 years ago," Felix mumbled thoughtfully.Everyone studied Benjamin carefully, finding it hard to believe. Yet, considering that his body had been used for ancient alchemical experiments by the greatest mystics of the time, it was not entirely impossible."I'm sure I'll have a way to verify it once we're back in Dragonia," Felix added confidently.At dawn, Felix and Nala were set to return home while Selmer stayed behind. The plan was for Reagan to gather the Steele family that night, eliminate them all, and then return. They were not worried about the Elders' Council for now, as Felix's betrayal would not be discovered anytime soon."Thank you for everything," Felix said on the private jet, still feeling guilty about the night's events. "Don't mention it. I've already decided to pursue you, so helping you is only natural," Nala replied simply.Felix frowned at her words. "A relationship between us is impossible.
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 815
The name Benjamin Stone was entirely unfamiliar to Felix, but he was beginning to piece together the situation. In ancient times, emperors were often called the Sons of the Dragon, and their presence was described as "dragon energy".Felix, with his unique possession of the Dragonspine, could very well radiate such a presence. Was it possible that this man knelt and called him "my liege" because he sensed the dragon energy emanating from the pen?"Stand and speak!" Felix commanded.The strange man obeyed immediately, rising to his feet. His tangled hair fell away, revealing a face marred by dirt and scars. Beneath his grimy exterior, Felix saw the features of a middle-aged man, his eyes cloudy but occasionally flashing with a murderous intensity. It was clear this man had seen countless battles, his energy thick with the bloodlust that only came from waging war—and winning it. Such a presence was impossible to fake. Nala and the others edged closer, curiosity etched across their f

"He treats the brush like a sacred relic, which means he absolutely won't allow anyone else to claim it," Felix said, his voice firm.With that, he grabbed the brush in his hand. Instantly, a roar erupted from far away, followed by Alfie's alarmed shout."Damn it! The creature's turning back!"Selmer instinctively wanted to flee, but seeing Felix remain motionless, he did not dare move either. Disobeying his master in such a moment would be nothing short of betrayal."Step back," Felix said, his tone steely. "At this point, I have no choice but to take a gamble!"As the creature rushed back toward them, Felix's suspicions seemed increasingly accurate. If they did not solve this now, Nala would not be the only one dead. In fact, everyone who had come into contact with the brush—himself included—would eventually be hunted down.If this also involved its presence, that might mean Luna and the others were not safe, either."Mr. Zeller, just… be careful!" Selmer shouted, his voice he
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 813
With that roar, Felix finally understood that the monster's target was Nala. He knew he could survive if he abandoned her right now, but how could he do that when she only came to Astoria because of him?As the distance between them and the creature grew shorter, Nala shouted desperately, "Let me go, or we'll both die!"Being only at Pulse Realm, she would have been caught immediately if she ran alone. It was also why Felix had been carrying her all this time."Shut up!" Felix shouted, his heart racing as he realized they had less than five seconds before the creature would catch up to them.In a split-second decision, Felix roughly pushed Nala forward and turned to face the charging monster. He commanded, "Run!"Nala fled with tears streaming down her face, not daring to look back. She knew Felix was buying her time with his life.The ground shook violently as the surrounding rocks crumbled to dust and trees were ripped from their roots. At that moment, Felix unleashed several p

Nala felt helpless, knowing she had many resources back in Dragonia but none here. Felix held onto the brush, refusing to let Alfie take it. "I'm the strongest here—you'd likely die facing them," he explained.He refused to hand the brush over to Alfie, and the latter's expression tightened. It was not a matter of pride—this was a task that could very well cost him his life."No!" Nala grabbed Felix's arm, unwilling to let the man she had grown to love risk his life. Even Selmer stepped forward, saying, "Sir, let me have a go. My life is yours to risk."Luna suddenly spoke up, "Why don't we just leave the brush somewhere? If they're after it, we don't need to sacrifice anyone."An awkward silence fell as they realized the simple logic of her suggestion.After that, they placed the floating, trembling brush in their previous battleground. Then, Felix, Nala, Alfie, and Selmer hid nearby to observe. About ten minutes later, a massive explosion announced the arrival of a mysteriou
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 811
Felix felt a chill down his spine at the news about a simple brush coming to life. Nala explained, "As soon as we entered Astoria's airspace, the brush started trembling like it wanted to write. When I gave it paper, it wrote 'alive.' The writing was messy but readable." It was the first time Felix had heard such a thing. He asked, "Are you arriving soon?"Nala replied, "Yes. I know you're in a hurry, so I chartered a private plane.""Alright. Let's discuss this further when we meet. I'll arrange for your pickup."Soon, a helicopter from the Starfire residence was headed to the airport. Shortly after, Nala arrived with Alfie, who had accompanied her for security. Felix asked, "Is it still shaking?"Nala nodded and retrieved the box, from which faint thuds could be heard. When she opened it, the trembling brush was inside, its movements wild and erratic.Even more bizarre, when the box was removed, the brush floated midair, refusing to fall. Alfie slid a piece of paper benea

"Mr. Steele!" The six Steele family guards tried to rush forward, but Selmer stopped them.He flashed a sinister smile and clicked his tongue. "My, my! Still trying to make a move on us?"With several sharp cracks, all six collapsed with broken necks, shocking both Luna and Micah."H-How dare you kill my men and humiliate me! Felix, Luna, you're both going to pay for this!" Ollie shouted.Luna panicked. "Dr. Zeller, you've gone too far! There's no fixing this now!"Felix remained unfazed. He asked, "What's wrong? Are you afraid of the Shadowstalker Emperor's decree?" Luna thought Felix was out of his mind for stating the obvious. If it were not for the decree, she would have already taken things into her own hands.Felix called out, "Selmer, contact him."Selmer immediately initiated a video call, which was quickly answered by the other party."Selmer, is there anything I can help with?" came a familiar voice. Ollie, Luna, and Micah all recognized it immediately. Felix as
