The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 778
Felix was curious about what kind of strange occurrences would have the headquarters so short-staffed. "When do I leave?" "Early the day after tomorrow. Since this is your first operation, I'll send someone to assist you. You'll still be in charge. I've sent the details to your phone," Xena said.The call ended abruptly. Indeed, it was strictly business. He had to handle it properly since he had taken on this assignment, and this job was tied to the Dragonspine too. Felix immediately started reviewing the mission details. The village was called Pine Valley, tucked away in a remote mountainous region. The reported "strange occurrences" were just disappearing livestock. There were chickens, ducks, and sheep vanishing every few days. Felix had a strange look on his face after reading the information. How could livestock disappearing in a village near the mountains be considered strange? With dense forests around, weren't predators expected? Still, his opinions didn't matter if th

Felix turned around, and his expression darkened. "I won't hire her." Bewildered, Melissa's smile froze. Felix was usually quite patient. He wouldn't dismiss a stranger so harshly without even asking for more of their information. "If you hire me, I can help you find the Frost Crystal!" the woman said.Felix, who had been about to walk away, clenched and unclenched his fists. "That damn fatso!" He wanted nothing more than to storm into Floral Wreath Boutique next door and beat Billy to a pulp. "Do you know each other?" When Melissa asked curiously, Felix just nodded. He was still thinking. The nurse applicant was none other than Nala, who was still wearing her signature veil. Why else would he react this way? To his surprise, this answer only made Melissa happier as she linked arms with Nala. "Perfect! Since you know each other, Felix will definitely keep you around." Felix's expression darkened further. If he wasn't certain Melissa was fine, he would have suspected Nala

At this, Nelly's eyes started to become teary. "I… I do need something. After seeing your medical skills, I remembered my cousin. She's disabled—not from birth, but after a high fever when she was four that left her unable to hear anything. I was hoping you could take a look at her," she said.If it was not congenital, it could be treated. "Of course. Let's go. Keep your money. Every second counts when it comes to changing someone's fate, if you know what I mean," Felix said.Nelly quickly apologized, "I understand, Felix. I promise I won't do this again." Tom was still in Gray City. Killing him could wait as long as it was done before sunset. They arrived at a run-down neighborhood in Gray City, where Nelly's cousin lived. The conditions were below modest. In fact, it was downright poor. "Poor June. After her mother died, her father ran away from gambling debts and left her alone to survive. Thankfully, a factory hired her despite her disability; I can't imagine otherwise!

Instead of rushing to beat up Tom, Felix held up his right hand with a silver needle between his fingers. "I don't care whether those five people at the clinic deserved to die or if they made some deal to sacrifice their lives. But you showed absolute disregard for human life, and that deserves consequences. "Once I insert this needle, you'll have constant urges to urinate, even without drinking water. It will be extremely painful each time you pee. There's only one way to fix it, and that's to remove the needle. But if you do that, you'll die." Before Tom could react, the needle was already in the back of his hand. "The choice is yours," Felix said.As Felix walked back into the yard, Tom scoffed. "Who do you think you are? Did you think you could control my body with a mere needle? What an idiot! If you want to play games, that's fine. Let's see if anyone can save you this time." Just as he was about to pull out the needle, Tom's body jerked. An overwhelming urge to urinat

Nala could not believe how well that trick had worked on her first try. Late that night, she suddenly woke and rushed to the main hall just in time to see a cloud of smoke dissipating. Without hesitation, she struck. The next moment, Felix appeared too. He frowned at the figure lying on the ground. "Were they after you?" Nala shook her head. "That's unlikely. I have no enemies in all of Dragonia. Besides, look at his clothing." Felix examined the body, muttering, "Is this some kind of stealth suit?" The outfit was pitch black, with only the eyes visible. "No, this is an Astorian shadowstalker's combat gear." Astoria? Shadowstalkers? Felix was puzzled. The only Astorians he knew were Luna and Kyro Starfire. But given their character, they would never betray his help by sending assassins. "You hit too hard. We should have kept him alive." It was a shame the intruder was dead. But Nala shook her head again. "I didn't kill him. For a low-level shadowstalker like this, I can

Standing by the car, Hope had changed from her normal clothes into a revealing outfit. She was dressed in black stockings with ultra-short shorts and a black lace crop top. Her loose clothing earlier had hidden it, but now Felix could see she was quite curvy. As she felt his stare, Hope blushed. "I... I thought this might make it easier to get information from the young men in the village. It's better than using money, right?" Felix immediately shut down the idea. "Change back now. You'd cause an instant commotion dressed like that in the village. We're here on a mission, not to attract too much attention." An outfit like that would turn heads even in the city streets, let alone among young villagers. It was asking for trouble. "Oh... right." Finally reaching Pine Valley, they parked and were struck by the view. The houses were uniformly built and remarkably neat, which was likely because of government development plans. With terraced fields stretched along one side, the sight

At this point, Ralph turned to Felix and said, "Grace may be blind, but her hearing is extraordinary. If you try going out at night, she'll know immediately. Don't break our village rules—you've been warned!" So that was part of it. If she could recognize Ralph by his footsteps, her abilities weren't to be doubted. Sometimes, what the ears heard was more reliable than what the eyes could see. "This is your room. Grace sleeps in the outer room. I'll take my leave," Ralph said.Hope spoke without thinking. "Is there just one bed?" Felix frowned. How could a headquarters agent make such a basic mistake? Ralph probably thought they were married. "What's wrong? Can't you even sleep with me as your brother?" Felix joked.Shaking his head, Ralph left without another word. Upon realizing her blunder, Hope hung her head in silence. "Don't question Grace. The chief and villagers are too guarded, so asking questions will only make them more suspicious. I'll investigate myself when it'

In one fluid motion, the figure gripped the sheep's head with one hand, its body with the other, and effortlessly tore it in half. Blood poured everywhere as the figure began gulping down the blood and devouring the raw meat. This scene took Felix aback. Even the most ruthless criminals wouldn't consume raw flesh and blood like this. The creature ate with frightening speed and finished the entire sheep in about ten minutes. If not for the blood and wool on the ground, it might have seemed like a dream. "Damn it. I need to see what's really going on here." This horrific scene had piqued Felix's curiosity to the max. Since humans were involved, this definitely needed some investigation. He followed the sheep thief a short distance until they disappeared into a cave, after which all went quiet. At this point, Felix hesitated before reaching for his phone to contact Xena. Despite his abilities, he did not want to risk alerting whatever might be in that cave. The headquarters' spe

An invincible force suddenly surrounded the guards. They paled as their bodies became immobile, as though bound by invisible chains.Fortunately for them, Selmer didn't want to kill them. Otherwise, they would have died by now.Within seconds, five figures appeared at the gate. Judging by their auras, all five were masters of the Blood Realm, a proof of Skyward Guild's might."What is the meaning of this?" a middle-aged man asked.Selmer smiled. "I've come to deliver a message on behalf of my master. And you are?"The middle-aged man's expression shifted after hearing that. It had been years since anyone dared to address Skyward Guild in this manner."I am Stamford of Skyward Guild," he replied.Selmer nodded. "Mr. Zeller was the one who hurt Thomas. This phone contains evidence of him kidnapping a high school girl and attempting to assault her. If Skyward Guild chooses to shield him, Mr. Zeller will prepare to fight."He tossed the phone to Stamford and left, leaving Skyward G

Skyward Guild? Felix frowned when he heard that. This gave the terrified Thomas a new sense of confidence.Thomas laughed. "That's right! My sister is the mistress of Skyward Guild's sect leader's son. If you hurt me, not only will you die, but every single one of your family and friends will perish as well! You're a martial artist, so you should understand how powerful Skyward Guild is."Hudson initially thought Felix could resolve this, but he now felt despair. He hadn't anticipated Thomas would have Skyward Guild backing him. What could Felix possibly do now?"If Skyward Guild really protects scum like you, it doesn't deserve to exist in the first place," Felix said coldly.Felix struck Thomas with a few needles, then tossed him to the ground. He picked up the terrified Tammy and inserted another needle into her, causing her to fall into a peaceful sleep.The needle's effect was designed to make Tammy feel as if everything that happened was just a nightmare, sparing her from tr

"Watch closely! A new round begins!" Thomas threw a die onto the ground. When it stopped rolling, it showed a six.Tammy moved forward, counting six steps before stopping. She looked at Hudson tearfully, who remained motionless. "I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!"Thomas had devised a cruel game. When the die stopped rolling, whoever crawled the number first would win. If Hudson lost, he would be beaten. If Tammy lost, she would have to remove a piece of clothing.The game had already gone through three rounds. Hudson hadn't moved a single time, unwilling to let Tammy suffer humiliation."What a man," Thomas sneered and waved his hand. Two men stepped forward with baseball bats and began beating Hudson.Even though Hudson was a martial artist, the relentless beatings, on top of his previous injuries, were unbearable. Still, he didn't let out a single cry. Instead, he glared furiously at Thomas. "You monster! She's still in high school! You'll regret this!"Thomas stood up and smashed

Felix eagerly took the item from Leslie and saw it was a medical book. "Was Mr. Hoffman keeping this from me?" Felix cursed at his stingy mentor."Why are all the pages blank?" He flipped through the book, only to find it empty. "Mr. Hoffman said you need to bind it with your blood to access its contents," Leslie explained. Felix's excitement grew. If it required a blood-binding ritual, it had to be something extraordinary. He pricked his finger and dripped blood onto the book. Like the harmonica, the book vanished and became one with his body.Felix quickly scanned the book's contents. Within moments, he was engrossed, oblivious to Leslie speaking beside him. "Felix, do you want me to massage your legs? You used to enjoy it when I did that for you."After some time, Felix felt something unusual and opened his eyes. To his surprise, Leslie's face was flushed red, and her hands were placed somewhere… less than appropriate."Leslie, weren't you supposed to be massaging my le

"Interesting. Where did you learn that?" Billy asked.Felix recalled hearing about it from Nala while in Astoria. How could he forget? "You're not pulling my leg, right?"Billy was annoyed. "I never lie! Well… except for that time with Queenie when she paid me extra. Anyway, this harmonica is a genuine artifact. So, do you want it?"Felix extended a finger toward the harmonica. "I owe you one." "Two favors," Billy countered. "One," Felix insisted."Deal!" Billy huffed.As Felix fiddled with the harmonica, he asked, "Do I just play it?""First, you need to perform a blood-binding ritual. Once the artifact gets your blood, it will merge into your body, and you can use it as naturally as your own hands."Felix felt his excitement grow. This was the first time he had encountered something out of a fantasy novel. This artifact worked with a blood-binding ritual, unlike the Dragonspine, which required the Dragons Destroyer.Felix pricked his finger and let a drop of blood fall

Billy grinned and pointed at himself. "What's the matter? Are you mesmerized by me? Or do you know me?"After taking a deep breath, Selmer forced a smile and waved it off. "Sorry, I mistook you for someone else."Once Billy left, Felix turned to Selmer. "What was that about? Did you mistake him for someone else?"Selmer's expression was a mix of shock and fear. Only a few people could get such a reaction from Selmer, someone close to achieving Blood Realm.Selmer clenched his teeth. "Here's the thing, Mr. Zeller. 50 years ago, I was injured and fleeing through a forest. That's when I stumbled upon a fight between two people. No, you can't even call it a fight since it ended in the blink of an eye. The old man was instantly killed by a young man."Felix chuckled at the story. "You're not about to tell me that young man was Billy, are you?"Selmer nodded. "Yes! At least, he looked exactly like Billy. They have the same face and build."Felix's eyes sparkled with interest. He trust

Tammy's grandmother, Gloria Locke, asked nervously, "Is… is Tammy not doing well in school?" Felix smiled. "Not at all! Tammy is doing great. I'm just here for a visit. Please don't worry."After chatting for a while, Felix excused himself and went downstairs. According to Tammy, the people threatening them had told them to leave today, or they would take drastic measures."Go back upstairs, Tammy. I'll handle the rest. I promise they won't disturb you and your grandma again," Felix promised.Tammy was moved by his actions and thanked him."I meant what I said earlier. If you get into college, I'll sponsor you with a hundred thousand dollars a year until you graduate." Felix smiled.Felix admired Tammy's resilience. He was cautious not to give her too much money all at once, fearing it might spoil her. He planned to continue supporting her once she entered the workforce."Thank you, Felix. I'll work hard!" Tammy planned to skip college, telling Gloria she failed the entrance e

When Felix arrived at the clinic, he saw a teenage girl sitting nervously while Melissa tried talking with her.The girl was simply dressed and seemed incredibly shy."I'm Felix Zeller. Are you looking for me?" he asked curiously. He had never seen this girl before and was even more confused about who her sister might be.When she heard his name, the girl shot to her feet, flustered. "Hello, Felix."Felix tried to appear as kind and approachable as possible. "Don't be nervous. What's your sister's name? How does she know me?"The girl seemed to struggle with her words and finally pulled out her phone to play a video. "Hello, future brother-in-law. Tammy is an acquaintance. If she's ever in trouble, please lend her a hand. I'm not around anymore."Cynthia? Felix was speechless. He had never expected that the sister Tammy referred to would be Cynthia."I do know Cynthia. Tell me what's wrong, and I'll help you." It didn't matter to Felix where Cynthia was from. She had helped him

"There is a way. That woman told me that if I could find a husband to defeat her brother, she'd give me the antidote. The only condition is that my husband cannot be from our place," Nala explained.Felix understood everything. "Is that why you targeted me? Did you think I could win the antidote for you?"Nala nodded. "Yes. I didn't think much of anyone from this part of town before. But then you appeared and won my heart."Felix studied her carefully. "Here's the deal. I'll ask for your help if I ever need it. In return, I'll defeat her brother as your husband and get you the antidote. After that, we'll be even."Though Nala was excited, she felt her heart clench. "Is that it? Can't we go further in our relationship?"Judging by his gaze, she knew it wasn't because of her appearance."At least for now, it's not possible. I'm going to bed." Felix waved her off.The next day, Nala went to the clinic early. Felix, who slept in until past 9:00 am, was startled to find Averill besid
