"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

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

"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

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

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

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

"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

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

Felix knew he was not seeing things. The woman knocking on the door was definitely Donna. But considering the Webster family's status in Notura City, why would she have to be in a place like this? Moreover, why would she be meeting with five other people? It made no sense.Questions aside, the moment five people matching the target's age and gender range had gathered, Felix knew it was time to act.Rushing from the surveillance room to a spot just outside Room 303, he immediately activated his Grandmaster Realm's domain. Within this field, he could sense the presence of every living being inside.Malevolent Phantoms had a fixed pattern—they could only consume a person's soul after assuming their form and making physical contact. That meant the Phantom had to be inside the room at some point.Even though Malevolent Phantoms could suppress their energy, they still could not escape the detection of his domain, which he had tested it before.All he needed now was the final person to

The man said, "Flip the last card. No matter what it is, you'll get at least 500 dollars. If you refuse, I'm giving you a bad review. Do it right now."Since Felix had already fully committed to his food delivery role, he knew just how devastating a bad review could be. There was no choice—he had to play along. He said, "Alright."The hotel suite was filled with six people gathered around a poker table, playing Hold'em. Felix was not an expert but knew enough to understand what was happening.Four community cards had already been revealed—A, A, K, K—and the young man who pulled Felix in was demanding that he flip the final card. Judging by the stacks of poker chips on the table, this was no small bet. Why they were letting a delivery guy reveal the last card was anyone's guess.Felix flipped over the final community card with everyone watching—another Ace. The young man burst into laughter, shouting, "Four of a kind! I got four Aces!"He slammed his cards onto the table, his exc

Felix had never heard of the title "legendary healer" before. Stacy asked, "Aren't you Mr. Felix Zeller, the legendary healer?"Felix was puzzled. "Yes, I'm Felix Zeller, but I have no idea what a legendary healer is." Stacy suddenly became excited. "Oh, my God! I'm actually standing in front of the legendary healer! Even Mr. Lemuel Morris, the number one master healer, admitted that his skills couldn't compare to yours. "Ever since the title of Miracle Doctor was established, you've been recognized as the strongest master healer alive!"The entire room fell into stunned silence. Even Eunice had never expected that the man she randomly met on a plane was the very same legendary healer who had shaken the entire Dragonia two years ago.No one had ever seen him, and no one knew what he looked like. Yet today, he was standing right in front of them."All that legendary healer nonsense doesn't matter." Felix sighed. He thought Lemuel and the others were really getting caught up

The girl, Stacy Barnes, looked completely unimpressed, as if Felix's phone call was nothing more than a pointless attempt to save himself from getting embarrassed. In her mind, no matter who he called, he would still end up leaving in embarrassment.On the other end of the call, Silas fell silent for a moment before letting out a bitter chuckle. "Just got back and already swamped, huh? Well, let's catch up when you're free. So, you found out I took in a new apprentice?"Felix raised a brow. "Yeah. What's the story there?"Silas hesitated before sighing. "It just kind of happened. Maybe I was just looking for something to take my mind off Zara."Felix knew how much Silas cared for Zara, and he had no doubt about that. He replied, "Zara's fine. She made it through the worst of it, and she'll be back to full health soon."He had been so busy since returning that he had completely forgotten to update Silas about Zara's condition. When he left Martial City, he had checked in on her—her

Felix glanced at Eunice, searching for answers. Even with his trained eye, the woman standing before them was an exact copy of Donna—down to the smallest detail. There was not a single difference.However, Eunice looked just as confused. She hesitated for a moment before saying, "Donna, it's me, Eunice."That single sentence ruled out the possibility of a twin. If Donna had a sister, Eunice would have known.Meanwhile, Donna studied them both for a moment. Then, without saying a word, they turned and walked out of the room. Her reaction left Felix and Eunice completely bewildered.She said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zeller. I have no idea what's going on, either."If even Eunice was clueless, that meant something truly bizarre was happening. A strange thought crossed Felix's mind—Malevolent Phantom.Only Malevolent Phantoms had the ability to mimic anyone perfectly, and even Felix, a Grandmaster, could not tell them apart by energy alone. But typically, when a Malevolent Phantom replaced s

The Webster family of Notura City was not just wealthy—they were power players. But Eunice had only mentioned the part that would pique Felix's interest. In reality, the family's hotel empire was just a fraction of their vast business holdings, which spoke volumes about their status in Notura City.At around 2:40 pm, in the sprawling front courtyard of a massive estate, Eunice stood waiting alongside another young woman as a car was sent to pick up Felix."Eunice, I really appreciate this." The girl beside Eunice had delicate features and gave off a quiet, reserved air. She wore a sporty, casual outfit, her twin ponytails making her look even younger than she was. She was Donna Webster, a direct descendant of the Webster family and the most beloved granddaughter of Albert Webster himself.Eunice replied, "Donna, don't even mention it. Honestly, I just got lucky. Otherwise, I never would've met someone this extraordinary."Donna had already heard stories about Felix's miraculous

"Malevolent Phantoms!" That was Felix's first thought. What these two women were saying and what they were about to do were all too similar to how Malevolent Phantoms operated.He wondered if the surveillance cameras outside had already been taken out. Then again, that did not quite fit the Malevolent Phantoms' style, though. Besides, it was too reckless just for a meal—there was no real reason for them to take such a risk.Eventually, Felix replied, "Sorry. I'm allergic to oysters."The two women exchanged glances before one of them casually reached for her purse. She pulled out a thick stack of cash, looking to be about 10,000 dollars."Then, eat it. If you actually have an allergic reaction, this money is yours—take it and get out."Felix was surprised, unsure what to make of this. Trying to refuse any longer would only seem suspicious, so he picked up an oyster and swallowed it.Within a minute, red spots began appearing on his neck, and he instinctively reached up to scrat
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1148
Felix went back to work. There were plenty of late-night diners, and even though Yadiel's men were already stationed across the city, nothing beat sheer luck when it came to running into the right target.The A-tier Malevolent Phantoms in Notura City had already killed dozens of people. If they were not taken out soon, they would become a massive problem.…When Felix arrived at a seafood restaurant for a pickup, the staff reminded him, "Take it easy on the ride. This order's not cheap.""What's the address?" he asked.As he turned to leave, he overheard the servers murmuring behind him. "This customer is so weird. We have our own delivery staff, but they insisted on using an outside service instead."Nonetheless, Felix did not care about those. Soon, he reached a five-star hotel and set the order down at the front desk, planning to take a quick glance around before heading out. Just then, the receptionist called out to him."Hey, the guest in Room 1002 specifically requested th

Ever since Felix learned that the Ancient Sage was actually Gerald's half-brother, he had been feeling conflicted. Yet, for some reason, he could not bring himself to ask Gerald about it—not because he was afraid, but because something inside him hesitated. Now, hearing that Averill also knew about it, he immediately perked up. At least he was not alone in this anymore. He urged, "Averill, hurry up and tell me."Averill flashed a sweet smile. "Aren't we Mr. Hoffman's family? I don't see why you're getting so worked up."Felix was instantly disappointed. But as much as that answer frustrated him, he could not deny the truth in it. Hence, he simply muttered, "Yeah… We are his family."Still, if they were family, then why had Gerald placed seals on all nine of his senior apprentices? What was the reason behind it?"Alright! Enough of small talk," Averill said, stretching lazily. "Eat up, and after dinner, I'm coming over to your place. I've got skills to show off."Felix sighed
