"So, how would you like to discuss this? Perhaps like this?" Helena purred as she placed her index finger on Felix's forehead.Felix immediately felt his Dragonspine trembling, responding to whatever trick she was pulling. He struggled internally, unsure how to react to Helena's technique since he needed to fake his response.Deciding to maintain his lustful persona, Felix widened his eyes and feigned an expression of ecstasy while muttering suggestive nonsense. From the corner of his eye, he noticed Helena returning to her seat, clearly satisfied with the effect of her power. She said, "I didn't want to use my abilities on you, but you were too eager. No one tries to seduce someone on their first meeting, though this works out well—now you won't be able to stay away from me."Felix's overeagerness actually matched his supposed identity perfectly. As Reagan's illegitimate son, why would he need to think twice about anything in Astoria? Getting whatever he wanted would be natural f

Was Reagan really coming? Of course, he was—it was all part of Felix's plan since Reagan was now under his control. Felix had maintained this elaborate charade in case his first attempt to capture Helena failed, knowing he might need to try again.He had privately contacted Elliott without revealing the true nature of his mission, only mentioning his desire to take someone from Dragonia. Given Helena's appearance, her citizenship papers were likely forged anyway. Elliott agreed to help immediately, knowing that even foreigners sometimes got sick. Felix's extraordinary medical skills made the decision easy, as he could be their last hope when modern medicine failed. The plan centered around the desert biochemical research facility where Felix had previously been held captive. According to Elliott, this facility was one of Guneria's highest-priority projects, and its perimeter was surrounded by a strict 12-mile no-entry zone. While they did not have extraordinary fighters, they po

Impressed by Jesse's loyalty, Helena teased, "How many Scarlet Cardinals can you gather on such short notice?"Jesse fell silent, realizing the impracticality of the suggestion. The 12-mile perimeter in the desert was too vast. It would require over 20 Scarlet Cardinals for complete coverage, and there were not even that many in all of Guneria.Helene continued confidently, "Don't bother. No one who could overpower me exists yet, so let's not make a big deal of this. Neither Reagan nor that facility would have such a person." She had completely dismissed Felix as just an ordinary person, thanks to his masterful use of the Nightshade Discipline technique borrowed from Darren. With Felix's skill level, using it perfectly masked his martial artist aura, making him seem utterly unremarkable.…As they approached the facility, Felix felt elated when he noticed all traces of the powerful guards had vanished. Elliott was telling the truth—the Westerio Order really would not dare come ne

Elliott covered the microphone and turned to Felix. "There's a problem. Who is the woman you wish to abduct? Mr. Robins just told me that a high-ranking member of the Westerio Order approached one of ours and demanded a woman named Helena be safely escorted into the city once this was over.""What?" Felix's expression fell. If that was true, his plan was ruined. Waiting for another chance could take forever. "Is there no way to resolve this?"Elliott pondered for a moment before his eyes lit up. "Let's put it this way. Mr. Robins has a lot of influence. There won't be a problem if he crosses the senators. You've met him before. He's the one deeply knowledgeable about Dragonia's culture. However..."Elliott trailed off. But Felix caught on—everything came with a price."Tell Mr. Robins he can find me in Dragonia if he needs anything, or I can come to him." Felix sighed.Elliott nodded and relayed the message. Shortly after, he hung up the call. "He agreed. It's mainly because you

Felix took out a memorial coin and lit it on fire before playing the harmonica again.As the memorial coin began to burn, Helena's expression twisted in pain. "Impossible!"Her body shook uncontrollably. "Stop! Felix, you love me, right? Please, stop! I'm begging you."But there was no way Felix would stop. It was clear that Helena was far more formidable than the man from Seapoint.Finally, as the memorial coin burned to ashes, Helena fell to the ground unconscious. Felix swiftly loaded Helena into the car. After nodding to Wayne and Reagan, he drove off in the opposite direction.The car was headed toward a coastal area that would take about four hours to reach. Luna had arranged a smuggler's boat there, and everything was prepared.When Helena woke up, the first thing she saw was Felix sitting a short distance away, and she felt the unmistakable rocking motion of a boat on the sea. "Where are we?""On a ship bound for Dragonia," Felix replied cautiously.Helena smiled bitter

Felix smirked. "After all that talk, it's all just a ploy to escape. You think I'll fall for it?"Admittedly, Helena was beautiful. A lesser man might have found her hard to resist. "You've been by my side all along yet were unaffected by my abilities. All of it was an act. Don't you want a beautiful woman like me?" Helena smiled.Felix stood up and prepared to leave. "Rest up. Don't try anything reckless, or you'll be the one to suffer."The next moment, Helena suddenly tore off her dress, revealing her seductive form. But Felix turned away and missed the sight."My mission is almost complete," she murmured.As Felix walked, he felt his body waver. He pulled out the harmonica and started playing while lighting another piece of memorial coin.Helena immediately showed signs of agony. But moments later, Felix felt his strength draining. His vision blurred, and he no longer had the energy to continue playing the harmonica."Stop resisting. This is your destiny, as well as mine.

As the Phoenix Warlord, Xena was well aware of the terrifying reputation of the Westerio Order abroad, which only made Felix's accomplishment even more impressive.The success of this mission would earn her a medal from headquarters, a rare honor for someone newly appointed as the Phoenix Warlord. It would also be a first in the organization's history.And all of this was because of Felix.…Meanwhile, in the cabin, Felix gazed at Helena with a complicated look. "You don't have to meet such a fate. While I can't avoid turning you in, I could stop you from meeting Tony."Helena smiled and kissed Felix on the cheek. "There's no need. This is my destiny. It cannot be changed."Though he couldn't claim to have fallen for her, Felix couldn't deny a stirring of emotion."I can change it. I'll report that you shouldn't meet him," Felix insisted.Helena shook her head. "Absolutely not. If you stop us from meeting, then there will come a time when death is a luxury to me. Do you really

Upon seeing Billy's astonished expression, Felix was stunned. He hadn't expected Billy to notice something unusual.Ever since getting to know Billy, Felix had come to trust him despite his air of mystery. With all the skills Billy possessed, if he wanted to harm Felix, he could have done so long ago. There was no need to wait.After some pondering, Felix decided to let Billy take a look while framing it as a joke. If Billy noticed something, they could discuss it. If not, it would just be a fleeting joke."What's wrong? Is there something different about my soul?" Felix pressed.Billy widened his eyes and rubbed his chin. "What the heck did you get into this time? I don't know exactly what's in your soul, but as far as souls go, it's..."After a long pause, Billy still hadn't said another word. Felix grew impatient. "Well? Is it good or bad?""Good! It's a blessing! Whatever this thing is, it nourishes the soul, enhances the power, and has countless benefits." Billy rubbed his

Ginny was naturally present as well, and she spoke up at that moment. "Mr. Goldstein, no one wanted to see Justus die like that. But why did you bring your people to Longstone residence? Are you suggesting that his sudden death has something to do with us?"Joaquin's expression grew darker as he looked at her. He blamed Ginny for this, thinking that none of this would have happened if she had just agreed earlier. And now, they couldn't even determine the cause of death."No connection? That doctor from your household, Felix Zeller—he's the one responsible for Justus' death."Right then, someone spoke up from the crowd. "That's him! That's Felix Zeller!"Felix, who had been calmly sitting in a chair, finally saw Wagner standing among them. And in that moment, everything made sense."Wagner? You've gotten quite bold, huh?" Gras sneered.Wagner flinched at Gras's words, but remembering that he now had the Goldsteins backing him, he stiffened his spine and stood tall. "Cut the crap

In Cloud City, there were a few noble families. Nonetheless, behind the polite smiles, tensions surged. Infiltrating each other's estates with spies had practically become a tradition. While they rarely uncovered major secrets, the information they did gather always gave them a head start.So when the news broke, Gras didn't doubt it for a second. He jumped to his feet, furious. "This is outrageous! Their son dies, and somehow it's the Longstone family's fault?"Ryker looked just as puzzled, agreeing that the accusation made no sense.But Felix let out a quiet, weary sigh. "Mr. Longstone, I'm afraid this is probably my fault. I'm a doctor, and I've gotten a bit of attention lately. After they failed to determine the cause of Justus' death, and given our meeting earlier today, they likely saw an opportunity to drag your family into the mess." Gras's expression darkened, knowing that Felix wasn't wrong. After all, doctors could also be poisoners, and plenty of martial artists had fa

It was clear someone had said something to Justus. Otherwise, this situation wouldn't have escalated to this point.Felix said calmly, "It was a standard therapeutic massage technique, and I was blindfolded the entire time. Does that explanation satisfy you? Or would you rather find someone else capable of treating Ms. Longstone—I'll gladly step aside if you can."Justus sneered, his eyes filled with disdain. "Cut the crap, Felix. Don't act like I don't know exactly what's going through your head. Ginny's the heiress of the Longstone residence—Gras's precious jewel. Everyone knows that marrying her is like securing the entire household. Don't tell me that thought never crossed your mind.""It didn't," Felix said simply.Unfortunately, that answer was never going to satisfy Justus. He snarled, "Listen up, boy! I'm giving you three days to get the hell out of the Longstone residence. If you don't, you won't even get the chance to regret it. Everyone else might be afraid of Gras—but I
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1533
As Wagner watched Justus explode in rage, he felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction. With what he'd just uncovered, there was no need to exaggerate—it was already explosive enough on its own.After all, Justus' future fiancée was touched in that kind of intimate way by a young, healthy doctor. Any man with a spine would lose it."But Justus," Wagner added with a smirk. "Didn't Felix just get publicly praised by the Green King?"Cloud City wasn't that big. Anyone with any influence had been keeping close tabs on Green King Manor—especially with the mystery man who walked out of Desolated Lands involved. So, the news of Felix being rewarded had already spread far and wide.Justus clenched his jaw. "So what? It's just a flash in the pan. If he was truly skilled, the Green King would've kept him. But as long as he hasn't climbed into the Green King's inner circle, I can crush him whenever I want."Wagner's grin widened. That was exactly the attitude he needed. If Justus had shown

The moment the Flame Monarch mentioned the Healer Sage, the Green King's expression shifted noticeably. "So the Sage really was living out there in seclusion... No wonder. Flame Monarch, does this mean you've taken a liking to Felix?"But the Flame Monarch waved his hand dismissively. "There's no need for that."That response made the Green King secretly rejoice. If the Flame Monarch didn't intend to recruit Felix, then he understood why—and that was perfect. It meant the opportunity to take Felix under his own wing was wide open.The night passed quietly. Felix stood beside Christopher's bedside, noticing the man's breathing had grown steady and stable.At this point, the herb had run its course and was no longer effective. But what was left inside Christopher's soul—a strange, lingering force—was exactly what Felix had hoped for.Christopher was alive but completely unconscious. The remaining energy had no regenerative properties, which meant he'd likely never wake again. For Fe

Felix wasn't the least bit surprised by the Flame Monarch's reaction, but he still feigned confusion. "Flame Monarch, I'm sorry... but I don't understand. What do you mean by soul-related injuries?"Just from that single line, Felix confirmed what he suspected—Aquamarinus had no concept of soul-based matters. Whether it was training methods or anything else, this realm hadn't yet touched that domain.The Flame Monarch stared at him, pressure radiating from his body. Felix immediately felt his limbs start to tremble under the invisible weight."You don't know? Then how could you claim to treat that man's condition?" Felix calmly pointed toward the herbs laid out on the table. "The force inside him is definitely strange. It triggered a memory... I once sensed something very similar, and it came from within that herb. It was purely instinct—when something feels familiar, there's a chance it might work."The Flame Monarch shifted his gaze to the herb, then said flatly, "Start from th

Felix gave him a direct and honest answer. "As long as I have enough herbs. I can treat him. I won't promise a full recovery, but one thing I can guarantee you is that this man won't die."For now, that was the best possible answer anyone could offer.The Flame Monarch replied, "Good. Begin. As long as you can keep him alive, you'll be handsomely rewarded."It seemed the Flame Monarch already knew something and never truly expected anyone to completely cure Christopher. Preserving his life alone would already be a feat."Flame Monarch, please reconsider!" one of the elderly doctors suddenly cut in, seething with resentment. "This boy is barely grown—how could he possibly possess such remarkable skill in medicine?"The Flame Monarch turned and gave him a cold, mocking glance. "If he can't do it, then can you?"The old man went silent. Perhaps fearing the loss of favor or acting out of sheer pride, he hesitated. Eventually, he found the courage to speak again."I admit I can't, bu

The Green King's expression changed instantly, and he turned to Felix in a hurry. "Dr. Zeller, please come with me to greet him.""Of course," Felix replied.For anyone in Aquamarinus, getting the chance to see the Flame Monarch up close was like a once-in-a-lifetime dream, and people would probably die happy just for that. Naturally, Felix put on a show of reverence as well, even if he didn't feel it deep down.As they reached the front gate, Felix saw several figures striding toward them with heavy steps. At the front of the group was a towering man, nearly nine feet tall. Even someone as built as Dave looked like a delicate bystander next to him.What stood out the most was his bright crimson hair, which flared upward like flames, making it look like his head was on fire. His facial features were fairly average, but the power behind his gaze radiated pure, undeniable authority.So, this was the Flame Monarch?Felix studied him closely. He suspected the man had cultivated some

According to the rules set by the Flame Monarch, the position of Minor Kings rotated every five years. Those who made outstanding contributions could keep their titles, but anyone who fell short would have to fight for their place all over again.The Green King knew he wasn't particularly strong—he was painfully aware of that. And with the next year marking the fifth year, the pressure was mounting fast. So when Christopher appeared, it felt like fate. If he could heal this man before the Flame Monarch arrived with his elite doctors, the credit would be immense, and his reappointment would be virtually guaranteed. Anyone who had never held a Minor King title wouldn't understand just how many perks came with it. If they did, no one would give it up willingly."I can treat him," Felix said calmly. "But I can't promise a full recovery."The Green King smiled. "Do your best. Even if you can only keep him alive, that alone is worth it."Two doctors before had said that Christopher's b
