For Felix, the treatment itself was not an issue. The question was whether Queenie could accept it. "I can treat you, but you might not agree with the method." Queenie grew anxious. "This is life or death! You're the doctor, and I'm the patient. What's there to disagree about? Just tell me!" Felix had no choice but to explain everything. "When I checked your pulse, I detected 65 infection sites on your body. I can use acupuncture now to stop them from spreading so that no new spots will appear. But those spots need to be treated individually by hand with my needles. "Otherwise, you'll be left with permanent red marks on your skin, and there could be other health impacts." What? Queenie was stunned. There were 65 spots already! Now, she understood Felix's awkwardness. "So you're saying that regardless of where these spots are, you'll need to see them all to treat them one by one, right?"Felix nodded. "Yes. Or I can contain the infection's growth, and you can try the hospital

Queenie's examination showed she wasn't a martial artist—just an ordinary person. With that confirmed, any lingering doubts were dispelled. After Hexbloom bloomed, it attracted not only ordinary people but also some martial artists, compelling them to touch it subconsciously. It was all so natural that it didn't warrant much suspicion.…The next morning at the clinic, Melissa's mood had visibly brightened, and she was dressed to impress. As long as her attire wasn't overly provocative, Felix had no issue with her choice of clothing."Boss, I had this faint chest pain last night. Shouldn't you take a closer look?" Melissa teased.Without even looking up, Felix replied, "You're fine. Besides, you didn't seem like the kind of woman who would flirt the first time we met."Melissa pouted. "Well, what can I say? You're so amazing. If something goes wrong, I've got no one to rely on. Honestly, I've been thinking of finding myself a solid backing."Felix handed her his mug. "Pour me s

"Felix…" Melissa appeared, her face full of reluctance."Go on. Be good," Felix said.Seeing Billy's smug expression, Melissa huffed and went to make him a cup of coffee. When she returned and handed it to him, Billy brought the cup to his lips, only to pause mid-sip. His lips twitched in disbelief."Girl, does your clinic have an unlimited supply of coffee grounds or something?" he asked, staring at the cup packed so full that it was practically sludge.No sane person would brew coffee like this."Oh, well," Billy said with a shrug, "at least it's made by a pretty lady—still smells nice from her touch."Taking a small sip, Billy finally got to the point. "The highlight of the auction is a very peculiar bone."Felix's eyes flickered for a moment before he smirked. "Are you trying to say that I'm a dog? A bone is supposed to interest me? What a waste of my coffee."Billy chuckled, lowering his voice. "Oh, really? I don't buy it. Someone practicing the Dragons Destroyer technique

"Three years ago, I finally woke up and quit gambling," Darren said, his tone sincere. "The buyer I mentioned, the one offering a billion dollars, was real. But I didn't dare sell it. I was afraid I'd fall back into gambling if I had that kind of money. "And honestly, I feel like I'd be letting my father down."Felix understood now. That buyer must have been tipped off by Derek, who ensured no one would use force against Darren or spread the word. Otherwise, an ordinary man like Darren would've been in serious trouble long ago.It was clear Isabella was hearing this story for the first time as well."Belle," Darren continued, "this is why I'm willing to entrust this million dollars entirely to you. All I need is a monthly allowance for living expenses. No matter how persuasive I might sound, if my gambling addiction resurfaces, at least you'll be there to keep me in check."Isabella was genuinely moved. After all, there weren't many men like him who would hand over such a fortune

Snapping back to his senses, Felix quickly picked up his phone. He was relieved to find it undamaged. Alistair's voice was still on the line."Alistair, I'm here. Go on," Felix said."Mr. Zeller, since you're considered one of the involved parties and also a master healer, Lady Summers has granted you special permission to access the site."Involved party? Special permission? Felix suddenly realized something."Do you suspect it's Skybound Revenant? But that doesn't make sense. Didn't Candace confess? Didn't you handle it?"Alistair's response brought Felix a small measure of relief."When we arrived, there were no signs of Necrobound at the place. Either they got word and relocated beforehand, or the Elder Revenant evolved into a Skybound Revenant earlier than expected.""Understood. I'm heading over now."Whether or not Zara was involved, Felix knew he had to act. If this escalated into a city outbreak, the death toll would be unimaginable.Driving to the village Alistair me

After hearing Alistair's explanation, an image suddenly flashed in Felix's mind."Hold on. I might know an expert in this field. The question is whether he'll agree to help."When Felix glanced at Xena, she immediately understood and, after a brief hesitation, nodded. With dozens already dead, they couldn't afford to delay any longer—who knew how many more lives might be lost?"Fine. Ask him. If he can genuinely help, there will definitely be a reward," Xena assured him.But before making the call, Felix had another question. "What about those elite experts you mentioned earlier? Haven't they been deployed?"Xena sighed. "They've been deployed to key cities. Each one can monitor multiple locations and immediately detect a Skybound Revenant if it appears. The problem is, these revenants might possess intelligence, allowing them to sense danger."They could deliberately target remote, impoverished areas or deep wilderness regions. But those are still living, breathing citizens of D

"Come out and face me if you dare. Otherwise, stop barking like a dog!" Felix snapped.The voice vanished. Felix quickly asked, "Can you tell me what sect Candace exposed?"Alistair remained silent, unwilling to speak. Xena hesitated for a while before using voice transmission to say, "It's Abyssal Surge Sect. But you must keep this to yourself."She chose to confide in Felix because she had absolute trust in him.Felix thought, "Abyssal Surge Sect—the second of the top super sects. Those bastards really have some nerve."He then asked, "So, with no actual evidence, I take it Abyssal Surge Sect is untouched?"Xena sighed in frustration. "Yes. We can't act on Candace's testimony alone. Even if they were a minor sect, we'd still need evidence before taking any steps."Felix sneered. It made sense now why someone would risk reaching out to him via voice transmission, trying to pressure him into fabricating evidence. They knew there was no proof.Even if he told Xena about the

Felix felt speechless. "I said, as long as you're willing to help, in addition to the agreed dojo, you'll also get a chance to dine with Dreamscape."After receiving confirmation, Billy patted his chest and said, "Humph! Don't insult me with these rewards. As a citizen, cooperating is my duty. Just leave it to me!""Damn it, Billy!" Felix thought, trying to suppress his irritation."Time to work my magic and track down that Skybound Revenant," Billy suddenly said. "Everyone, leave! Phoenix Warlord and Felix, you two stay."At Alistair's command, everyone quickly evacuated, leaving only the three of them in the open space.Felix waved his right hand, sending out a wave of energy to ensure there were no living people around and that the village was empty before signaling Billy to begin.He was being cautious, worried that a member of Abyssal Surge Sect might still be nearby. But he was probably overthinking it—after all, even the boldest person wouldn't risk staying here for too lo

Bob did not say much. He kept wondering if Felix and Wendy were just being polite. He was absolutely certain he would not be exposed. The waiter would never admit to intentionally causing trouble, and no investigation could possibly reveal anything. He might as well keep things as messy as possible. Less than ten minutes passed before Angie arrived. She did not even greet Felix, immediately rushing to the Azure VIP Room with Ian. Felix remained in the main hall. It was past the lunch rush, so the restaurant was almost empty and quiet. Suddenly, Bob heard Felix's voice say, "I won't be here for more than a few days, so you really didn't need to use these tactics." "Mr. Zeller, were you speaking to me?" "You know exactly what I mean. Don't do this again." Felix was not naive. He could tell from how Bob had been helpful in the main hall but went silent in the private room. Something was definitely fishy. But Felix was totally focused on the Malevolent Phantoms now, and he

Just as Felix turned, the bathroom door opened, and a woman walked out. Seeing how the hem of her dress was wet, it was clearly from washing off spilled wine. "Mr. Zeller?" With just a glance, Felix was instantly wordless. Of all people, it was actually Wendy. "Oh, Wendy. What a coincidence!" Seeing Felix in his professional attire, Wendy was stunned. "What are you doing?" "I'm working as a front desk manager at this restaurant." Hearing this, Wendy remembered Felix was currently running important tasks nationwide. So, this made perfect sense. "Since we know each other, let's just drop this. The waiter didn't mean to cause trouble. There's no need to make such a big deal." Franz had already walked over at that moment. But he was shocked to see Wendy knew the front desk manager and was even addressing him so respectfully. "Got it, Mr. Zeller. Sorry for the trouble." Felix nodded and left. Bob followed, but a bad feeling crept into his mind. How did Felix know Franz's

Sally heard the intercom call, too, and her admiration for Bob reached new heights. Everyone in the restaurant knew that for VIP rooms like the Azure Room, customer complaints could not be handled by a front desk manager. Only the general manager—like Ian—could deal with it—and if he couldn't, Angie herself would have to step in.This was clearly Bob's setup. If not, Felix would not have had to go over. Bob had taken advantage of Felix being new and clueless about the rules.But his guts were something else. He was actually sacrificing one or two waiters just to go up against the boss' daughter. Was this really just about a front desk manager position anymore? In the Azure VIP Room, there were only two people by the massive table. A waiter knelt on the floor, body shaking uncontrollably. Just this scene told Felix the guests were definitely high-profile. "Who are you?"The young man with a powerful presence immediately frowned when he saw Felix."Hello, sir. I'm the front des

In the morning, Felix visited the dental clinic where the two women had their teeth cleaned. He found nobody suspicious there. He had already reviewed the relevant videos. They only had a routine teeth cleaning with barely any interaction. Any hope of finding a lead this way was completely crushed. After leaving, he received a call from Angie and rushed to an incredibly luxurious restaurant. "Felix, how about working as a front desk manager here?" she asked.What should have been a simple job offer now felt like she was tentatively seeking his permission. "Sure. But Ms. Sinclair, I have one condition."Angie smiled and said, "Go ahead.""I have some personal matters to deal with here. So, when I need to leave to handle something, I hope I can get time off normally." Angie thought that was nothing. She glanced at the middle-aged man beside her. "No problem. This is the restaurant's general manager, Ian Goodwin. Just give him a call when you want to leave." Ian immediately

Felix raced to a repair shop in Kashmere. Upon reaching the premises, he quickly jumped the fence and entered. According to Chloe, she had been held captive here. She had barely managed to grab a phone and call for help. No one could possibly be interested in her smell, so Felix genuinely hoped the Malevolent Phantom would show up.The moment he entered the yard, all the lights blazed on, turning the place as bright as day. "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry!"Chloe emerged, looking disheveled. Reeco—the man from the barbecue stand—was grabbing her hair. About 20 other guys surrounded Felix with weapons in hand, wearing menacing grins. "Did you think I'd have to visit you myself? Look at you, walking right into our trap!" Felix was utterly disappointed. He'd completely forgotten about these insignificant men, and now, they had wasted his time. "I'm here. Let her go."Surprisingly, Reeco shoved Chloe to the ground and waved his hand. "Get him!" The first man charged with a massiv
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1200
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

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
