The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 91
Honestly, Yvonne was very pretty. Even though she couldn't compare to Xena, she definitely had Wendy beat. Her figure was incredibly striking, especially when she was dressed head to toe in black."I don't think we've met before."Felix didn't recall ever knowing a woman named Yvonne.He glanced back at the gravestone, and Yvonne's voice turned a little wistful. "My entire four years of college were funded by Mr. Zeller Senior. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was like family to me. He was a good man, always humble about what he did. "I only recently found out who he was. But by then, it was already too late."A college student sponsored by his grandfather? Felix's brows relaxed. It made sense. His grandfather, Phillip Zeller, had always been generous, often helping kids from underprivileged areas. Sponsoring a college student wasn't out of character for him. "You seem to be doing pretty well for yourself now. I'm sure my grandpa would be proud."He walked over, pull

Felix couldn't believe it. He knew Jack's parents. Could they have been so influenced by the different cultures overseas after moving abroad that their mindset had changed? It seemed almost heartless."Let's not dwell on it," Jack said with a dismissive wave. "I may be broke now, but I've still got my skills. I passed the final interview for a new job, and I start tomorrow. Wish me luck, friend."They didn't need a lot of words between them. If Jack ever really needed help, Felix knew he'd come to him, and vice versa. That was just how their friendship worked over the years.But this time, Felix decided he would offer help quietly from behind the scenes. He wanted his friend to move on from the sadness his family had caused him as quickly as possible.Since Jack's first day on the job was the next day, and making a good impression was important, their plans to catch up that night were put on hold for another time.As Felix pulled up to his driveway in front of his villa, ready to

Hugo had the confidence to speak that way because he had the power to realize such a threat. The Lambert family was one of the most prominent families in Avesburgh, only a step behind the Kinsley family, the wealthiest in the city. Shutting down a small business like Warren's would be a simple matter for him.The shock on Warren's and Nattie's faces made it clear that they realized Hugo wasn't joking."Mr. Lambert, are you talking about Felix Zeller?" Nattie asked, lost in disbelief."What? Did I mispronounce something?"Nattie became anxious as Hugo confirmed his own statement. "If you've got a grudge against Felix, take it up with him! What does this have to do with us?"Hugo laughed. "What's this? Still trying to play innocent in front of me? I know exactly what your relationship with Felix is. When you want to take someone down, you hit where it hurts most. If I'm going to deal with Felix, of course I'm going to go after his weakest points."Hugo wasn't like the brainle

From the way Hugo spoke, it was clear that Kane's influence didn't carry much weight here. It seemed unlikely that Felix had any other tricks up his sleeve.…Meanwhile, Felix was standing in the front yard of his villa in Tabiner Bay, his face dark. He was staring at the group of a dozen people gathered just outside the gate."Felix! Pay up!""You finally showed your face! Time to settle your father's debts. It's only right for the son to pay what the father owes.""Damn! You disappeared for three years. Why didn't you just vanish forever?""Enough talking! Pay up already. I'm owed 600 grand. Start with mine!"These people had shown up out of nowhere, flooding in all at once, and not even the security guards could stop them."What gives you the right to come and harass me?" Felix asked, his eyes narrowing in anger.Back when his parents ran their business, they never had significant debts. In fact, they gave money to charity every year. How could they possibly owe money to th

In that moment, the responses came quickly."Ken Zeller""Carson Zeller""Bryan Zeller"Each name that was called out made Felix's disappointment deepen. They were all his father's siblings—his own relatives.Years ago, Matthew had handed the company over to them. And now, they were pulling this kind of stunt on their nephew? It was revolting beyond words."Are these debts something my father owed?" Felix asked coldly.No one dared to lie anymore."No, Mr. Zeller. The debts are from the current Zeller Group. They've been stalling on payments, and just yesterday, they told us to collect it from you. They said if we harass you for three days straight, they'll pay us back.""That's right. That's what happened!""Same for me."Felix waved them off dismissively. "Get lost."The group scrambled to leave, practically falling over themselves in their haste. Once they were gone, Felix turned to Stinger."Stinger, what did you find out?"Stinger, ever respectful, replied, "Zeller G

"It's funny, isn't it? I heard Felix also cut ties with Warren. Apparently, he managed to squeeze nearly 30 million dollars out of him, thanks to Uncle Matthew's old connections," Sabrina said with a smirk.Someone immediately chimed in with a laugh, "That's about as far as Felix's talents go. Warren must've been the fool here. If it were up to us, Felix wouldn't have gotten a single cent."At this point, Carson spoke up, "Enough of that. Get ready, everyone. The big shot I went to great lengths to invite is coming. After tonight, Zeller Group is going to soar to new heights!"The group eagerly moved toward the banquet hall's entrance, with Sabrina trailing behind. She leaned in toward Jolene curiously and whispered, "Mom, who's this big shot Uncle Carson is talking about?"Jolene smiled knowingly. "It's someone from the Kinsley family, the wealthiest family in the city. They're interested in investing in Zeller Group, and the deal is almost finalized. If all goes well, we'll be se

The Zellers froze for a moment. Then, they either burst out laughing or wore looks of disdain."Felix, you're kicking us out? On what grounds? With that foul mouth of yours?" one of them sneered.Seeing a crowd of guests gathering to watch, Carson decided to make his move. He was already in the right, so there was no reason to hold back."You're the one who started this, and as your uncle, I've been more than fair. You're the one who doesn't know how to appreciate kindness!" he snapped, raising his hand in command. "Get him out of here!"At his signal, a group of black-suited bodyguards rushed toward Felix, clearly prepared for this moment.Nearby, the spectators murmured among themselves."Felix? Isn't he Matthew's son?""Yeah, that's him. I heard he disappeared for three years, and now, he's back.""He's young and full of himself. He probably thinks he can reclaim what was once his, but does he really believe that's possible?""This kid doesn't get it. He didn't take over wh

Leo was shaking with rage, his whole body trembling as he pulled out his phone."Alright! Keep acting tough! You said my uncle bows to you, right? Fine! You're dead! No one's going to save you now!""Let me make the call."Before he could dial, Felix had already beaten him to it. He pulled out his phone and dialed a number, putting it on speaker."Yes, Felix," a woman's voice answered on the other end. "Do you have a cousin with the last name Mitchell?" Felix asked casually. "He seems pretty full of himself. I'll leave the rest to you—I don't want to see him again."Cousin? Wendy's voice suddenly grew cold. "Leo Mitchell! Is that you?"In an instant, the once-arrogant Leo turned into a meek kitten. "Wendy? Is that you?""Who else would it be? Haven't I told you to never mess with anyone named Felix? What? Did a horse kick you in the head, or have you gone deaf?"Leo swallowed hard, his eyes filled with fear. Wendy had indeed warned him, but how could he have known that some

"This is so delicious! I'll have to ask Nelly for more," Felix said to himself as he finished the pasta.Shortly after, the doorbell rang— it was Queenie Larrington, his new neighbor from Villa No. 2. She stood there holding something rolled up.She explained, "I wasn't sure what to give a neighbor. I love painting, so I hope this is fine with you.""Thank you, that's very thoughtful of you," Felix replied.But Queenie did not stop there. She added hesitantly, "Could you take a look at it now? I'd love to hear your thoughts. I'm not a professional, but I really enjoy painting.""Of course," Felix agreed. He carefully unrolled the painting and was shocked to see the painting. He exclaimed, "This is incredible! How did you capture me so well after meeting just once?""So... it's good?" Queenie asked nervously."Beyond good. It's incredible! You've got some serious talent—you're definitely gifted."Queenie smiled at the compliment and left shortly after. Felix returned inside,

Melissa's outfit at that moment was enough to make almost any man lose his composure.She wore a tight, white nurse's uniform that hugged every curve of her body. The top had only three buttons, barely containing what it needed to, and with her figure somewhere between a D and E cup, it created quite the spectacle. As for the skirt, it stopped just at the top of her thighs, paired with black stockings that did not leave much to the imagination—it was something straight out of a man's fantasy.Five minutes later, Melissa returned to the room with a breezy attitude."You men are so weird," she said, shaking her head. "That guy was sweating bullets from pain and still asked for my number!"Felix's expression darkened instantly. "Melissa, are you seriously planning to work in that?"She blinked in confusion and glanced down at herself, even spinning around for effect. "What's wrong? You're the doctor, and I'm the nurse. Isn't this what nurses wear?"Felix's eye twitched as he force

"You must be quite famous to scare this kid just by showing up," Felix joked.Kurt remained respectful, remembering Clement's warning that if Felix were dissatisfied, Kurt's position would be forfeit. His status in Gray City might be impressive, but compared to Clement, he was nothing."Since he's troubled you, Mr. Zeller, I'll take him away and handle it to your satisfaction," Kurt offered.Huxley was terrified but knew he had to beg for mercy—if Felix spoke about this incident, the consequences would be devastating. Everyone knew those who crossed Kurt met terrible fates, often along with their families."Please, no!" Huxley sobbed, but Felix waved dismissively."Get out of here, and don't let this happen again," Felix said, having no interest in wasting time on such trivial matters."You heard Mr. Zeller," Kurt prompted.Huxley scrambled away, vowing never to harass anyone again, no matter how ordinary they seemed.After George and Kurt left 30 minutes later, Felix finally h

Huxley relaxed slightly when the Rolls-Royce drove away, and the crowd began to thin. After all, everyone had at least one wealthy friend—this he could handle."Nelly, this little show doesn't make Felix any more impressive," Huxley mocked, pointing at the Lamborghini. "Anyone can rent a luxury car nowadays with some cash. So what's your answer about tonight?"Before Nelly could respond, Felix pulled her inside the clinic. "There's someone I want you to meet."Huxley was furious but hesitated to act with George present, deciding to wait until the Lamborghini left before teaching Felix a lesson."Mr. Gibson is frustrated he couldn't make it back from abroad, but he arranged for a gift that should arrive soon," George mentioned, referring to Ryan rather than Clement as Felix initially thought.Felix sighed. "Please don't make arrangements like this without asking. If everyone shows up, how am I supposed to run a normal clinic?" Gray City and Avesburgh were about the same size, an

Nelly had always maintained professional distance with all her clients, which had worked to discourage Huxley's advances since he was never really interested in buying property. However, Felix's arrival completely disrupted that delicate balance.After a long moment of internal struggle, Nelly agreed. "Fine, I'll have dinner and karaoke with you tonight, but that's all."Huxley smiled darkly, knowing she would not have any control over what happened once she was there, especially after he slipped something into her drink."That won't be necessary," Felix interrupted firmly. "I actually appreciate having all these people guarding my clinic. Nelly, please go home."Upon seeing Huxley's expression turn venomous, Nelly panicked. "Mr. Zeller, please stay out of this. I know what I'm doing.""I said it's not necessary," Felix repeated calmly.Huxley's expression darkened as he grabbed Felix's collar. "Do you actually think having Clement back you up makes you untouchable? What's your c

Xena nodded slowly. "Of course, I've heard of them! Everyone who joins gets that training at headquarters. "How could anyone not know about the legendary Chief Commander? But what does this have to do with Felix?"She had tried calling Conan earlier, but he had been too scared to say anything. Hence, she was now questioning Alistair."The legendary Chief Commander appeared today—she's Felix's senior," Alistair explained. "One call to Hugh, and within minutes, they discovered the forensics team had falsified everything on the phone.""What?" Xena shot up from her chair. "Are you absolutely certain Felix's senior is the legendary Chief Commander?"Though Alistair only responded with a telling look, she knew it was true. The news was absolutely staggering—this connection was far more significant than knowing any warlord."Based on Mr. Spade's reaction, the Chief Commander hasn't aged a day," Alistair added thoughtfully.Xena gave a bitter laugh. "Of course not. One can only imagin

Conan did not want to stay a second longer in this place. After all, this was the legendary Chief Commander, someone even Lionel respected. He had really shot himself in the foot this time, wishing he had shown better judgment.After they left, Felix breathed a sigh of relief, finally understanding why the forensics results were compromised. It seemed John had timed his report precisely for this reason."Thank you, Mira," Felix said sincerely.Averill immediately protested with a mischievous grin. "What about me? Don't forget you did nothing but lie in bed last time. You should thank me for my hard work too."Felix felt his face burning with embarrassment—only Averill would make such suggestive comments in front of Mira."How did you two end up coming together?" he asked, trying to change the subject.Mira's eyes sparkled with amusement. "I was too lazy to track you down, so I had Averill do the legwork." She turned to Averill and added, "Don't you have a flight to catch?"Ave

Conan whirled around to find another stunningly beautiful woman, and he widened his eyes. He could not help but think, "Damn! What kind of luck does Felix have to have such gorgeous seniors?""Of course! What, are you planning to interfere too?" he challenged, trying to maintain his authority.Felix stood up, surprised to see that Averill's mentioned senior was none other than Mira, who had gracefully entered the room carrying a distinctive purple umbrella—the kind of accessory that demanded attention whether you wanted to give it or not."Well, well, headquarters has really gone downhill if this is the caliber of agents they're producing these days," Mira remarked with a cold smile.Conan's face reddened with rage at the insult to headquarters, but his anger suddenly froze as he took a closer look at Mira's face. He stumbled backward several steps. "Y-You're..."Ignoring Conan, Mira pulled out her phone and dialed a number. "Listen here, Hugh. Just because you're retired doesn't

A flash of annoyance crossed Alistair's eyes, but he still made the introduction. "Mr. Zeller, this is Mr. Conan Spade from headquarters, a joint investigator. Given the international implications of this case, they're taking it quite seriously." Conan scoffed at these words. "Mister? Really, Alistair? You're getting soft—since when do we address suspects as 'mister'?""How I address people is my business," Alistair shot back. "As long as the investigation is thorough, my manners aren't your concern." Ignoring the exchange, Conan dropped heavily into the chair across from Felix. "The voice recordings and videos from your phone have been authenticated—it's definitely you, Felix. No amount of denial will help unless you can provide an alibi, so you'd better come with us right now."He added with menace, "And if you resist, we're authorized to use lethal force!"Conan's hostility was crystal clear, but Felix chose not to dwell on it. He replied, "I actually do have an alibi, though
