Completely unbothered, Xena sneered. It seemed that Felix was giving Ted a chance, but it was just Felix's attempt to involve her and rid himself of these troubles once and for all.He was just a reckless brute who knew martial arts. He should've evaluated his own capabilities before acting impulsively.Now, the damage was done, and people were starting to take revenge. Only then did Felix realize the danger. How ridiculous!So what if he was a martial artist? Perry's Golden Chamber of Commerce had developed significantly over the years with Xena's hidden assistance. They could easily take Felix down by relying solely on themselves.Besides, Felix definitely didn't qualify to pursue her if he couldn't even get past Ted.…In Sapphire Paragon, a high-end restaurant in Avesburgh, Sabrina was having lunch with Lawrence Schneider. He was a plump, middle-aged man.Suddenly, his expression changed as he received a phone call. He quickly wiped his mouth and said, "Babe, go ahead with

Not wanting to be deemed as unreasonable, Sabrina crossed her arms and coldly spoke, "Fine, then. It's better now that you're here. This bottle of wine worth 20 thousand dollars was shattered thanks to this man right here."Mr. Schneider had it stored in your restaurant—you can verify this easily."Upon her words, Tim understood that the wine couldn't be fake—any wine had to be authenticated before storage at Sapphire Paragon. Otherwise, if the staff had damaged it, how could the compensation be settled if the guest merely stated any amount?A card appeared before Tim as he looked toward Felix. Felix said, "Any issues with you taking care of things? I'm not wasting another word with this woman."Sabrina rolled her eyes. "Who do you think you are? How shameless to ask someone else to handle matters for you."However, Tim's eyes widened in extreme shock the next moment. Oh, dear! Was that a Golden Card? Unbelievable! A VIP had come to dine here."Our dearest VIP, I sincerely ap

Wendy was already nervous. Although she had feelings for Felix, she was afraid to offend him too much. Now that Hugo had suddenly appeared, she quickly stood up."Hugo, what brings you here?"She was rather unhappy with Hugo's sudden intrusion. Nevertheless, he had contributed to treating Bernard. Hence, Wendy still had to show some gratitude.Hugo regained his composure and forced a smile. "I heard you're dining here, so I came to have a look. Did I interrupt anything?"Felix understood that there was more to his words, but he remained unbothered. After all, nothing was going on between him and Wendy. Even if there was something between them, Felix wasn't one to care about others' opinions."Indeed, it's a bit inconvenient right now. I'm having a meal with my friend."Damn it! Hugo wondered if Felix was trying to chase him away.Though he still had a smile plastered on his face, his gaze toward Felix became icier. "I shall not interrupt your meal, then. Since you and Wendy are

Inferno's brows twitched as he sneered, "Hah! I must've underestimated your abilities. Interesting that you could find out that Nocturno's my brother. What a shame, though—why does it matter?"He had come here with a simple objective, which was to capture the villa's owner and interrogate them to find out who killed Nocturno. Even brief descriptions would be enough for him to deduce the culprit. After all, only a few people were capable of killing him."Are you belittling me?" Xena's strong presence surged. After becoming the goddess of war, she paid more attention to her ego. She wouldn't tolerate such an attitude from others."Xena Summers, my brother came to you just to savor the feeling of sleeping with the goddess of war. Even he had dared to do so—do you think you're a match for me?""What about me?" a voice interrupted Inferno. Chain Asura appeared before him."You must be the Asura from the headquarters! You seemed well-prepared, but what a shame that all of you have u

"Please save her, Mr. Zeller." Chain Asura knew who Felix truly was. Naturally, Felix was the most suitable one to treat Xena at that moment.Yet, Felix simply shook his head. "He didn't intend to kill her—that blow was to just make her pass out. Her convulsions are due to her own physical state. She'll be fine after a while."Chain Asura was shocked. Felix clearly learned his medical skills from the miracle doctor, Gerald. How remarkable of him to know what was going on at just a glance. But why did Inferno leave Xena alive?"Also, someone's coming."Upon hearing this, Chain Asura quickly turned toward Xena. Sure enough, an emergency call button was flashing, signaling for the Phoenix Legion to send support. It seemed that the button was triggered right after Xena had been struck.Felix didn't plan to leave since this was his home. Xena's condition was something he had discovered during her previous treatment. It wasn't dangerous as of now, but it could pose a threat in the fut

"Xena, don't think too much. Inferno is dead, and Chain Asura has taken his body to report back to the headquarters. He says that you deserved half of the credit. All you have to do now is to rest up."Rest? Xena got out of bed straight away. Her mind became increasingly muddled.Inferno was dead? And killed by Chain Asura? Impossible—she remembered everything clearly before she was struck.Even when she and Chain Asura had teamed up, they were still at a disadvantage. What was more, he was the only one left after she lost consciousness. How could he have killed Inferno alone?"By the way, there's something else I have to tell you, milady. Felix was also there when we arrived. He had violated military orders and sneaked back to his villa. Should he be punished?"Xena widened her eyes in shock immediately. "Y-You're saying that Felix was there, too?""Fighting all day in my house—how annoying!" The voice echoed in her mind. She remembered it clearly. Someone had said it before s

"Great! Wait for me in the living room, Joe. I'll take a bath and wash up. It'll be too disrespectful to meet Mr. Cane looking like this," Xena said.Jordan was exhilarated as well. Once Wesley healed Curtis, everything would fall into place for him to be with Xena.…At the same time, Felix stood outside the mansion and rang the doorbell. Yet, it was Belle and Jordan who came out."Felix? What are you doing here?" Belle disliked him strongly. He was a useless good-for-nothing, but he still fantasized about marrying Xena. Just because of that prenuptial agreement? He was craving for what he was not worthy of! Even Jordan alone could easily take on an army of Felixes."I'm here to visit Mr. Summers Senior. Is Xena here?" Felix asked.He had come over because Louie had obtained a Grimflower and delivered it to his villa. Felix verified that it was indeed genuine and came over immediately.After treating it with acupuncture techniques, the Grimflower could stop the Phantom Poison
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 80
At the same time, Belle also threatened Felix, "Either you keep the needles, or I take action. I'm sure you know the consequences."Felix had enough of Belle and Jordan. With a tapping gesture of his right hand, he made them stand frozen in place, completely unable to move. They could only communicate with their eyes since they couldn't even open their mouths."The spell will be automatically removed after half an hour," Felix said. After inserting the two silver needles, he placed the Grimflower into Curtis' mouth.He then left the room under Belle's and Jordan's furious gazes.20 minutes later, Xena had finished showering. After getting dressed, she arrived on the top floor. She was perplexed upon seeing the two of them standing stiffly in place. "What's wrong with the two of you?"She noticed that they could only gesture with their eyes. Realizing what might have happened, she tapped with her right hand. Straight away, the two of them were able to move again."Something's

As soon as Chelsea's finger touched a card, it turned and displayed the number one. Hendrix immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Although there were no longer any tricks at this point, it all depended on their strengths and luck.If anyone met Chelsea in the first round, then it would definitely affect the morale of the rest of the battles. After Chelsea, several people jumped out simultaneously, including Lachlan and Felix. When Felix touched a card, it revealed the number three.Hendrix quickly frowned and looked over. There was another person he didn't want to fight—Felix.During the two days of rest, he talked a lot with Yvian. Of course, he had learned some things, like the cooperation with Lyle and Felix. This made him feel unsettled, but he didn't expect that they would meet.Once everyone had drawn their numbers, Chelsea and another player who had drawn the same number stayed on the island. The rest temporarily left the island."Begin!"The fight between the two start

Holly was right—Felix could no longer question it. He smiled bitterly as he realized he had no choice in the matter. He thought for a while before suggesting, "What about this, if you're really part of their family, come back to Earth with me after the competition. Can you do that?"Holly agreed willingly. "Of course, I'm looking for family. That isn't an issue."Once Holly left, she contacted someone. A look of astonishment flashed in her eyes as she read Felix's information."Oh? I didn't expect this guy to be so well-known! Has Star Alliance already contacted him and offered a position as the Elder of External Affairs?"Given this information, it was evident just how powerful Holly's connections were. After all, not many people in Star Alliance knew of it.Since they were offering him the position of Elder of External Affairs, it seemed that Felix had already formed the Way of Mind. Holly didn't expect someone from such a barbaric planet to be so powerful."How interesting

Felix's expression fell immediately, and he tried to push the woman away. "Are you crazy? Get out!"However, as he closed the door, the woman stopped it from shutting. "You're a contestant in this year's Rank-Ascending Competition, right? I can sense that there's someone in Star Alliance protecting you."But there are some things you can't avoid," she said. "Either you take this chance to talk to me, or I'll ask myself. It shouldn't be difficult to find out where you're from."Felix realized the seriousness of her words as he gazed at the woman. She could sense the higher-ups secretly protecting him, but at least she couldn't figure out who he was—in other words, this woman was extremely powerful.No matter her purpose, if she really went to Earth, who could stop her? Since the Rank-Ascending Competition hadn't ended yet, and with Earth still a mess, who could stop the invasion?"Fine, come in," Felix relented.The corners of her mouth curled into a smile. "Hahaha! This is the at

"The Lord?" Felix wondered. But Jerry continued, "The Lord—the deputy leader of the Star Alliance. He's one of the champions of the Rank-Ascending Competition and one of the current fighters of the Star Alliance—Tyrone Linetti, nicknamed The Tyrant."When you were on the ninth floor of the Tower of Babel, he couldn't sleep a wink."Felix was shocked by the revelation. It turned out that he had no privacy at all, even in the tower. Besides the Spirit of the Tower, Star Alliance could also observe him.Before he could respond, Jerry nodded sagely. "Yes, Lord Tyrant discovered that you've successfully condensed the Way of Mind! Otherwise, why would he tell me to recruit you personally?"Sure enough, Felix's Way of Mind was discovered."You're so young, and you'd definitely rank among the top three in Star Alliance's records," Jerry said. "Hell, you'd even be better than Lord Tyrant! That is why Star Alliance is willing to make an exception for you."They're offering you the positi

However, Felix was the only one who sat there unmoving. Julius quickly pulled him up."That's Jerry Gonzalez, one of the top three elders in the Star Alliance. You can't even fathom how powerful he is! How dare you keep sitting there?" Julius muttered.Felix hated having to worship the powerful, but there were times when he couldn't help it. He watched as Scopulus bent over in a bow, greeting Jerry respectfully. That told Felix everything he needed to know."Mr. Gonzalez, what are you doing here?" Scopulus asked warmly. However, Jerry smiled and completely ignored him. Instead, he walked straight to Felix."Felix! I'm Jerry Gonzalez from Star Alliance. Are you free to chat? Let's head into a more private area."Everyone in the bar watched with bated breath, and their mouths fell agape as they watched the scene unfold. One of the top three elders of Star Alliance came all the way here to find a contender. This has never happened before.Even if there was a contender from a pow

Xenon helplessly said, "Dude, it doesn't matter if you sign the agreement. They've met their goal as long as you meet Lachlan in the round! If you lose to Lachlan, it doesn't matter if you live or die—you won't be able to save the Earth."At that point, you can't go back to Earth, so where will you go? Even if you run, you won't be able to escape death." Xenon was right—the Orions wanted to kill Felix quickly in the past so he wouldn't hinder their plans to invade Earth. …As Felix followed the two, he experienced the entirety of the Star Alliance headquarters. There was advanced technology that Felix had never seen before, as well as delicious food. "Felix, don't you want to check that place out? There are women from all races in the universe. You can do them however you want. Besides, Star Alliance will pay for it all," Julius teased.As a man, Felix naturally wanted to experience it all. But as a man with a family, he didn't want to. After a full day, no other families

Just then, Yvian interrupted, "Dad, since Felix is this sincere, I think we should tell him some things in advance—to prove our sincerity."After a pause, Lyle nodded, and Yvian looked at Felix, saying, "What I said about Star Alliance was a very big maybe. Because of your current situation, they may not even come to help you. If they do, I can't predict what they will do."But one thing is for sure—if you need Star Alliance's help, you must join them. My family can't compare to them. I believe you understand that." Felix looked a bit unsure but smiled. He replied, "Thank you for telling me the truth. Let's take a look at the contract."Lyle's eyes glinted mysteriously. He knew that Yvian's words convinced Felix. Sure enough, with someone like that, Lyle could only treat him with sincerity—lies and deceit were meaningless to Felix.After reading the contract, Felix confirmed that it was exactly as Lyle had said. There was not even a word out of line."Alright, I'll sign it," F

"No idea. Oh, right. My dad told me to check in with him, too," Julius said.Julius lifted his wrist, and a white wristband flashed briefly. Then, he closed his eyes.It was a communication device developed by Star Alliance. It was way more advanced than anything on Earth—it could handle video, voice, and even silent messaging—meaning it allowed direct brain-to-brain communication without anyone around knowing you were chatting.Right now, Julius was silently talking to Trent. "Father, Lyle just approached Felix to recruit him. What do you think about that?"To his surprise, Trent chuckled on the other end. "His instincts are still as sharp as ever. Don't worry about it. Lyle has always trusted his intuition, and so far, he's never been wrong. "His move doesn't affect us. You already have the upper hand. Like I said before, just stay friends with Felix. As long as you maintain that bond, it's as good as recruiting him for our family."When Julius thought back to how Felix had sa

Julius and Xenon exchanged a look and chuckled."Do you know why they gave you two days of free time?" Julius asked.Felix shook his head and signaled for him to get to the point."Among the ten finalists, those without a strong family background are prime targets for recruitment. Hence, you might be one of them," Julius said.Felix thought it made sense—it wasn't all that different from how things worked back on Earth."Recruitment by families? Do they expect you to change your last name or something?" Felix asked.Julius laughed. "Of course not. Every strong martial artist has their pride. No one would agree to something like that. The ones they're interested in are people with limitless potential, like you. Since you come from a developing planet, you have no resources—you're a perfect target."He added, "For instance, if my family wanted to recruit you, we'd propose an alliance. You wouldn't have to give up anything—you would only need to agree to a contract saying you'd hel
