The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 783
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

Under Felix's torture, the fake chief had revealed everything under Felix's torture, so Felix knew exactly where to go. At the cave's deepest point, what appeared to be a dead end was actually an entrance to a hollowed-out section of the mountain. It was a considerable engineering feat. Hidden cameras identified him as the village chief. With a rumbling sound, the rock wall retracted sideways, revealing a passage guarded by four men. "Why are you back?" one of them asked.Felix smiled submissively and said, "I just remembered something important I needed to report to Mr. Croft." "Follow me!" Of the four guards, two carried AK-47s, which was some serious firepower that suggested these were not ordinary criminals. Guns were banned in Dragonia, so even obtaining a pistol was difficult, let alone assault rifles. With glass panels lining both sides of the passage, nobody could see what was behind them. After several turns, Felix entered a room where he met Reece Croft, a sturdy m

At this point, Felix should have been begging for his life, but he wasn't naive. He could see the murderous intent in Reece's eyes. There was no way he would let Felix leave alive. "You could have lived a bit longer, but you made the wrong choice," Felix said.Seeing Felix stand straight with no trace of his earlier fear, Reece immediately understood. "No matter who you are, once you're here, you die!" As he spoke, Reece pressed a button in his pocket, triggering alarms throughout the facility. "Since you're brave enough to sneak in disguised as the chief, you must be quite confident in your abilities. Too bad you still have to die!" A sharp sound cut through the air. Felix tilted his head as six figures emerged and surrounded him. Interestingly, these six wore combat suits similar to the shadowstalker who had committed suicide at his home last night. But they were in purple instead of black. "Shadowstalkers? So Astoria is involved in this, huh?" Reece wasted no time, pointi

While he could not act under official orders, Felix could act personally. Once he got the Dragonspine from Ross, he planned to visit Astoria. A family like the Steeles had no right to exist. As he drove, two figures suddenly appeared on the road ahead, making him hit the brakes. He was puzzled. While he did not recognize the old man, he knew the other person. It was Aiden. "Does someone from the mighty Greene family need a ride?" After getting out of his car to tease them, Felix found Aiden's face looking expressionless. "I know you took the Frost Crystal from the cave. Don't even bother denying it," Aiden said.Felix narrowed his eyes. This guy's intelligence network was impressive. He was surprised that Aiden would even know about that. But he was right! After interrogating Reece, Felix had found the Frost Crystal in one of the lab rooms. It was suspended in some liquid that seemed to be extracting its properties. Fortunately, it was not badly damaged, so Felix had taken i

Felix focused on Cairo Crest, the man who had jumped from the fighter jet. He had a square face and carried an imposing presence. He was clearly no ordinary person as he radiated such a powerful air. Being able to command a fighter jet meant he had to be with the headquarters. After Aiden whispered something to him, Cairo said, "So you're the Dragon Knight working under the Phoenix Warlord? Come here! I am the Tideborne Warlord." Before Xena, there were the Four Great Warlords—the Shadowdragon Warlord, the Warlord of the East, the Warlord of Thunder, and the Tideborne Warlord. Felix had met the first three; today he faced the last. The Greene family must be so influential to be able to summon even a Warlord. They had clearly come prepared and determined not to let the Frost Crystal slip away. As Felix approached, Cairo spoke again. "Give me the Frost Crystal." Aiden smiled beside him. From his perspective, the Frost Crystal was as good as theirs. How could a mere admiral refu

"Good day to you, Lord Hugh. It's urgent, and I need to verify something. Please forgive my intrusion! Do you know a young man named Felix Zeller?" Cairo asked.Hugh laughed and said, "Are you talking about Felix, our Dragon Knight from headquarters? Of course, I know him. I treat him like my own grandson. What's the matter?"Cairo drew in a sharp breath. He had considered many possibilities but hadn't expected Felix to have this level of connection. He treated Felix like his own grandson? "No... it's nothing. Please rest well." After hanging up, Cairo looked uncomfortable, coughing twice before saying, "Dragon Knight, since you have a mission to complete, you should hurry along. Don't delay it." Nodding, Felix left. Despite his frustration, Aiden could not intervene further and could only watch the car disappear. "Aiden, that young man has deep ties with Lord Hugh. There's nothing we can do." Though retired, Hugh could easily take down the Tideborne Warlord if provoked. Aide

"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

While looking into those bright eyes, Felix, who intended to brush things off, finally admitted it. "Yes, it's me."Xena waved her hand dismissively, silently telling him to leave.Felix couldn't figure out what was going on in Xena's mind. He didn't know if Willow's letter affected her.For some reason, Felix felt a sense of relief. He had done what he could—the rest didn't matter.By the time he returned to Gray City, night had fallen. Nala greeted him, "Welcome back. Come eat."The timing was perfect, and Felix didn't question it since he was hungry. "Thank you."After finishing his meal, Felix stopped Nala from doing the dishes. "You gave up everything to be with me. Is it truly out of love?"Nala thought for a moment. "Not entirely. At the very least, I do care about you."Nala was being genuine, that was if she ignored Felix's abilities and his overly protective mother.However, Felix shook his head. "You don't even dare to show me your face. You should leave. There's no

"Have you forgotten what I always taught you? The Greene family never fights a battle without certainty. Send an expert to test Felix's abilities first—just testing, mind you, nothing lethal," Meredith instructed.Aiden nodded in understanding. "Yes, Grandma."…At Xena's residence in Yartford, Felix sat silently on the couch until Xena broke the silence. She said, "About your earlier situation, you don't need to worry for now. "While you're on assignment, headquarters will protect your family members, and since you have no acknowledged relatives, this protection extends to your friends."Felix looked up with interest. "Is that really possible?"Xena nodded. "Yes, I've authorized it personally. No matter how powerful they are, the Greene family wouldn't dare openly defy headquarters. "You can rest assured about that. However, how you resolve your conflict with them after the mission is your own business."How to resolve it? Through elimination, of course! Now that his anger h
