John's face changed when he heard Gage's words. He grabbed his desk phone and said, "Get me a ticket out of the country immediately—anywhere except Dragonia!"Gage just smiled silently, making John uncomfortable."To be frank, I'm really terrified. Elders' Council has tried multiple times, yet Felix is simply impossible to kill. His power keeps growing more terrifying. I'm just a coward with no powerful protectors like you. So, this is my only option."Gage nodded. He said with a smile, "We remember your service to the Council. Too bad you crossed into the Grand Elder's most hated domain. Otherwise, you'd have plenty of protection."John sighed helplessly. Business was about profit, so sometimes he couldn't control himself. Besides, how was he supposed to know what the Grand Elder hated?If he had known experimenting on those children would anger the Grand Elder, he would not have touched it no matter what. Though it had advanced his company's pharmaceuticals, losing the Grand Eld

After using a needle on an employee for information, Felix learned that no one could access the top ten floors of Wealthhealth Pharmaceuticals without John's permission as the CEO. Even his secretaries worked below the tenth floor.Even if he got in, a forced entry would alert John immediately. He would be gone before Felix reached him. …Around noon, a Maybach emerged from the underground parking garage. It was followed by five identical cars without license plates.From what the employee said, Felix knew this was John's vehicle. But he detected three people in each car through his senses. Having never seen John, he could not distinguish his energy from the others.The six cars split up at the first intersection, making tracking nearly impossible. "Forget it. I'll focus on treating Yasmin's cousin first. I'll have to ask Elliott for help later," Felix concluded.…Around 3:00 pm, Felix and Yasmin arrived at a suburban residential area. Guneria's vast territory and relatively

Yasmin helped Linda up, then turned to Felix. "Dr. Zeller, you can treat this, right?"He was the first to identify Linda's condition, so surely that meant hope. Why else would Linda be so emotional?"There are two options. Please sit down, and I'll explain."Only after Felix spoke did Linda return to her seat, her attitude completely transformed. "Please go on, Dr. Zeller."After a moment's thought, Felix said, "First, I can use acupuncture to control your condition and reduce it to once a month."Before he could mention the second option, Linda's face fell."Is there no complete cure?" She never wanted to experience the unbearable itching and disgusting scales again."There is, but it requires something I don't have. We need to find the person who caused your condition."The substance in Linda's body wasn't exactly a toxin—it was more like a hormone that had fully merged with her hands. Even with Felix's expertise, he could not completely remove it. The only alternative was a

"I can't ask him to meet me. He hasn't blocked me but won't respond to messages or calls. But I know where he lives. He's a painter, so he barely leaves his house," Linda said. Things would be perfect if he were still around. "Give me the address. Yasmin and I will go. You stay home and wait for our news."After sharing the location, Linda added quietly, "Dr. Zeller, you won't hurt him, will you?"Yasmin covered her face in exasperation. Even after what he had likely done, Linda was still worried about him. Love really did make people hopelessly blind."Wake up, Linda! Dr. Zeller's here to treat you, not hurt people! I'm the one who won't let Pierre off easy. Say one more word, and I might slap some sense into you!"Hearing Yasmin's threats, Linda fell silent. In the car, Felix smiled. "Ms. Qualls, you're quite perceptive."One sentence cleared Felix of responsibility while hinting at Pierre's fate. No wonder her father trusted her with Qualls Pharmaceutical at such a young ag
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 863
Though Pierre remained silent, his wide eyes confirmed Felix's suspicions."You're causing harm to others at such a young age instead of doing good deeds. Linda is suffering while you paint comfortably here. Don't you know what you've done?"At Linda's name, Pierre broke down in tears. "It wasn't intentional! I swear! I... I just wanted to touch the skin of the person I loved. Is that so wrong?"Then, his voice rose to a shout. "Did I choose what family I was born into? I'd rather be normal than have these disgusting hands!"Felix helped Pierre's gloves back on and signaled Yasmin to turn around. She immediately launched into him. "So, you knew what would happen when you touched Linda, yet you did it anyway?"Pierre wept harder. "No! I didn't know until afterward. I'd never have touched her if I knew. I love Linda enough to die for her. How could I possibly hurt her?"After checking Pierre's pulse, Felix shook his head. "Early on, one scale would have sufficed. Now we need both

Just one glance at Pierre's hands had frozen a Martial God like Yasmin. That just showed how terrifying Fish Men at higher levels had to be.The mutation rarely passed down in the Lannerby family. Sometimes, entire generations were skipped. Pierre's father's generation had none, yet Pierre inherited it.His family sent him abroad for protection. Despite the prevalence of guns, Pierre's abilities kept him safer here than in Dragonia. The "Fish Man" title had been passed down through the Lannerby bloodline since ancient times. Their reputation as the Thief Guild's nemesis was one-sided—their power affected everyone, not just thieves.Felix realized the Fish Men had been holding back. Thief Guild believed touch was necessary, but mere eye contact at their scaled hands sufficed. Those with purple scales and above had full control over their powers.The Lannerbys' vendetta traced back generations. People from Thief Guild had stolen something precious, creating a blood feud. The Lanner

Yasmin stood speechless. She had never seen Linda smile like this before."After you left, I did a lot of thinking! I love him deeply, and now, I know he still loves me. Since I'm already affected, I can hold his hand without worry now, right, Dr. Zeller?"At that moment, Pierre broke down as he sobbed uncontrollably."Linda, are you absolutely sure about this?" Since their clasped hands were behind them, Yasmin could safely offer her counsel. Linda nodded, kissing Pierre's cheek. "Yes, Yasmin. I'm certain! Though it's unbearable, I'm okay with it. Having Pierre by my side is enough. "After experiencing love this deep, I doubt I'll ever find someone who loves me this much again."Pierre pulled away from her and donned his gloves. Then, he cupped Linda's face, giving her a gentle kiss. "Linda, I'll love you forever, but I don't want you remembering the man who hurt you."He moved lightning-fast. As he pulled out a small axe, he swung it toward his left wrist."No!" Despite bei

Yasmin said, "Dr. Zeller, I know it's a lot to ask. If it's too troublesome, we can forget about it."Felix was about to refuse immediately, but the mention of Wealthhealth Pharmaceuticals piqued his interest. Since the vice president was involved, he thought he might be able to infiltrate the company and find John after disguising himself. "Sure, I've got nothing else going on anyway," Felix agreed, which made Yasmin beam with joy as she repeatedly thanked him.At that moment, Felix decided to tell Yasmin that his current identity was inconvenient once they reached the restaurant. After donning the Shadow Mask, he could dine as another medical expert without issues. However, just as they parked the car and Felix was about to speak, his phone buzzed with a text from an unknown number."Felix, it's John Reynolds. I know you're in Guneria, and I know how desperately you've been trying to find me. Here's your chance—come to this location tomorrow night. Of course, I'll und

The moment the topic came up, Felix's gaze flickered, avoiding direct eye contact. No matter how you put it, even though Xena would also benefit from it, it still felt somewhat unfair. It felt that way, especially since they weren't in a relationship. If they were married or at least dating, it wouldn't be an issue at all."I'm exhausted. I need another two days to rest," he said.Billy scoffed. "I know your soul energy is depleted, but trust me. Your fatigue will disappear instantly once your souls merge. The feeling is beyond words. I'm sure you've heard from the Malevolent Phantom how irresistible Soul Binding is, even for those who've already experienced love and passion."Wait, what? Felix was speechless. It seemed that there was really no way out of it."Oh, one last thing. After you and Xena… you know, your soul energy will be completely absorbed and stored away. That means you won't have any left to wield a soul-bound weapon or use any soul attacks. Are you sure you still
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1362
There was only one explanation—Felix really could heal soul damage."Of course, I healed him. Let me rest for a bit. Wake me up when the sun comes up."Felix was utterly exhausted. Even if an S-tier Malevolent Phantom appeared beside him, he couldn't be bothered to care. If Donna had truly wanted to kill him, she would have done it long ago. There was no reason for her to wait until now.As Donna watched Felix slip into a deep sleep almost instantly, her expression grew more complex.What kind of ridiculous joke was that? Even though Leonardo was a crossbreed, his soul had already inherited the traits of a Malevolent Phantom. While it wasn't exactly the same as a true Malevolent Phantom, the essence of his soul had changed.And yet, Felix had still managed to heal him. If word of this got out, it would shake the entire Malevolent Phantom world to its core.It was like finding out that some miracle doctor could cure any disease in the human world. People would go absolutely crazy.
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1361
Leonardo's body suddenly started convulsing, and with foam spilling from his mouth, even a fool could tell something had gone wrong.Damage to the soul was entirely different from physical injuries. If one got a cut, even without treatment, their body would eventually heal on its own. However, the soul wasn't like that. Any damage was permanent and had widespread consequences. Even if just a fraction of an inch of the soul was harmed, the physical reaction could be extreme.Felix let out a long breath. "Finally got it out. It sounds easy, but doing it was incredibly difficult. Even with my soul energy, I nearly couldn't hold on."The level of precision required to make such an impossibly fine cut was beyond imagination. To do it without causing any collateral damage would require soul energy beyond comprehension.Of course, Leonardo's soul had been damaged. There was no avoiding it."At least he's alive. You've done all you could," Donna said.However, Felix just smiled. "That'

At that moment, Felix turned to Norman. "Step outside and say the lines you've rehearsed. Then, I'll take your son with me. He'll be back by dawn."Norman was beyond relieved. If Leonardo could survive, nothing else mattered.He had long anticipated this day. Living on Earth, even if it wasn't intentional, he had killed more than one person. There was no way he'd be let off the hook.In the living room, Lina was in tears, bombarding him with questions, while Steve kept sighing heavily. No one could have imagined that a once-happy family would fall apart overnight."I'm taking Leonardo for treatment. I won't say it again."Seeing the scene unfold, Felix spoke up. With Norman's cooperation, things were going more smoothly. Since he had been assured that Leonardo would return safely, there was no reason for further resistance.The situation had to be handled strictly. There was no room for defiance.Just then, Xena arrived. She had actually been in Zuera since the day before but ha
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1359
Norman looked into Felix's eyes and knew there was no room for negotiation. He lowered his head in silence.Seeing this, Felix dialed Donna's number."What's up?" she asked."I found a crossbreed.""A crossbreed? Oh, you mean a hybrid? What about it?"Felix had no choice but to ask Donna for help. No matter how he looked at it, he also wanted to protect Leonardo."This crossbreed is only three years old and seems to have inherited a soul-related trait. He just killed someone out of pure instinct."Before Felix could finish, Donna had already guessed the situation. She let out a chuckle, her tone carrying a hint of eerie amusement. "Let me guess, you want to save the kid?"Felix didn't bother denying it. "That's right. I want to know if there's a way."After a long pause, Donna's voice came through again, "There is! But I can only assist. Since he's just three years old and hasn't developed much yet, I can mark the part of his soul that drives his instincts. "You'll need to
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1358
A trace of sweetness flickered in Norman's eyes, and he couldn't help but smile."Yeah, I never imagined it, either. Me, an A-tier Malevolent Phantom, actually falling in love with a human. I'm completely, hopelessly in love."Felix froze as he hadn't expected it to be true."You probably don't believe me. No other Malevolent Phantom would, either. But it's real. I truly love Lina. After experiencing what you humans call love, I was completely consumed by it. Maybe that's why, when we were together, our souls intertwined, and that's how Leonardo was born."Norman grew emotional as he spoke."Do you understand? When I realized that Leonardo had inherited the unique traits of a Malevolent Phantom's soul, I was overjoyed beyond words."But I regretted it instantly when I remembered where we were. Because it meant that if Norman was ever discovered, he would be in danger of being killed at any moment."And now, with your arrival today, I knew that moment had come. I just didn't expe

The existence of crossbreeds was classified as top secret by headquarters. If word got out, even if the general public remained unaware, just the knowledge reaching certain members within headquarters would cause mass panic.Would you dare to question whether your partner might be a Malevolent Phantom? Would you risk wondering if your child inherited some of its traits and became a crossbreed? No one wanted to shoulder that responsibility.Take Johann and his team, for example. They had absolutely no knowledge of crossbreeds, and their resistance right now stemmed entirely from their own moral convictions."Sir!"Johann didn't dare stop Felix outright, but he raised his voice to make his stance clear. The others followed suit, not to mention Lina, who was still sobbing uncontrollably, and Steve, whose eyes were red with fury as he glared at Felix without a hint of fear."Mr. Zeller! If you're really going to take my grandson, you'll have to step over my dead body first!"Tears st
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1356
"So what?" Lina asked. "Even if I lied, what does that person's death have to do with my son?"Felix suddenly roared, "Are you telling me that when you opened the door, your son never left your sight for even a second?""I—"Lina opened her mouth but suddenly found herself at a loss for words. That instinctive hesitation was the most telling of all."Get the car ready. Take her with us. We're going to Lina's house.""Yes, sir!"The convoy arrived at a luxurious mansion in Zuera. The moment Felix and his team rushed inside, they saw Steve sitting in the living room, holding a three-year-old boy in his arms."Mr. Zeller, why are all of you here?"Lina, restrained by Felix's men, screamed in a frenzy, "Dad! Save Leonardo! They're trying to take him away!"Then, she turned to Felix, shouting in fury, "You monsters! He's just three years old, and you suspect him of murder? I'll expose you! I'll take you to court!"By the time she finished, she was sobbing uncontrollably."Mr. Zel
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1355
Even though Lina knew Felix held an unimaginably high status—so high that even Steve feared him—his continued questioning and the direction of his suspicions pushed her to the edge. The mere idea that her son might be involved sent her into a silent rage.She was a mother, and when it came to her child, she did not care who the hell the other person was."I'm just asking questions," Felix said flatly. "Just answer them. Don't make me start quoting laws and rights to get you to cooperate."His voice was so calm. For a moment, Lina wondered if she had overreacted, so she took a breath and continued.She explained, "He wasn't in the stall. It's way too small in there. I left the door cracked open so he could see me, and since I had the tether on, plus the nanny and driver waiting outside, I wasn't worried about him wandering off."Felix did not say anything right away. He stood there, clearly deep in thought.Silvercrest Restaurant might have been an upscale dining place, but it was
