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

Felix paused and turned to look at Carson."You're saying you have something I need?"Carson swallowed nervously, knowing this was his last card to play."That's right. I have your parents' photo album—the one from when they were young. It's in my possession. "Felix, I'm begging you. For the sake of family, let us off this time. I'll return the album to you untouched, I swear."Felix smiled at the mention of that.He chuckled softly. "The photo album? Keep it. Instead of using it as a bargaining chip, why not look through it yourself? Maybe it'll remind you of the people who helped you get to where you are today."Carson's face went ashen. Who could have imagined that the "worthless" Felix, who disappeared for three years, would return with such power? The wealthiest man in the city, Kane—any one of them could crush the Zeller family without a second thought, yet they all treated Felix with respect. But too bad there was no cure for regret in this world.…On his way home

Callum appeared somewhat surprised and then turned his head, calling out, "Hugo, come here and explain what's going on."To Warren's surprise, Hugo was there, too. He felt a sinking feeling in his gut. Out of all the connections he had, the most influential person he could reach was Thomas. The others wouldn't even get the chance to step through the door, let alone strike up a conversation with Callum. Sure enough, Hugo walked up to Warren, who had just started to stand. Without any warning, Hugo kicked him squarely in the chest, sending him stumbling back. His face was icy as he said, "Warren? I gave you a chance, didn't I? I said by sunset, and clearly, you failed to deliver. Just wait—within a week, your company will be done for."Even Thomas hadn't expected Hugo to act so brazenly, completely ignoring his presence. Warren was, after all, his guest, and in normal circumstances, even the most disrespectful people would think twice before acting out in front of their host."E

Early in the morning, Felix was leisurely strolling through the park in Tabiner Bay, breathing in the fresh air. After a short walk, he paused. His attention was caught by an elderly man who was standing nearby. Beside the old man was a beautiful woman, and a middle-aged man stood a few steps behind them."This old man."Felix studied the elderly man for a moment, hesitating before he finally decided to approach."Grandpa, what do you think of Tabiner Bay?" the woman asked, her bright eyes sparkling. The old man nodded approvingly as he looked around. "It's nice and peaceful. It's a good place to spend my retirement. But, ah… There's no place quite like home."The woman smiled, her eyes full of affection. "There's even a fishing area here. I think it's perfect for you, Grandpa! But I won't have much time to visit you if you stay here. Are you sure you don't want to live with us?"Just as the old man was about to respond, a voice interrupted, "Excuse me, sir."Felix had approa

"Grandpa! Is what he's saying true? How could that be possible?" Sherlyn Holt gasped in disbelief.The old man let out a bitter smile and nodded. "Yes, Sherlyn. Around midnight every night, I've been suffering from severe abdominal pain. I've had my medical team and a few highly regarded doctors examine me privately, but none of them could find the cause. "Since I wasn't experiencing any other issues, I didn't want to worry you, so I kept it from you."After revealing this, his expression grew thoughtful. "I never thought that I would encounter such a young master healer here in Avesburgh at my age. It seems fate is being kind to me."Jairo and Sherlyn were stunned and speechless. How could they believe that Felix, whom they had initially dismissed as a charlatan, was now being hailed as a master healer?"Sherlyn, apologize to him."Taking a deep breath, Sherlyn walked over to Felix and apologized respectfully, "I'm sorry for my rash behavior earlier. Please, forgive me and he

If the government was planning to just attack Hall of Souls with missiles, they must have been seriously pissed off this time.But it made sense. After all, countless people had risked their lives fighting Malevolent Phantoms, while Hall of Souls not only failed to resist but actually conspired with them. That was truly despicable. Felix asked, "But how are you sure what the Black Soul Scout said is true? Even with soul memory extraction, wouldn't you need to verify it?"Xena answered, "Of course. Everyone's worried about hurting innocent people. Our national guardian has already checked a few locations personally. He has confirmed they're definitely Hall of Souls laboratories or bases." The guardian? Felix frowned. "Isn't that overkill? Why not just let the guardian eliminate them all directly?" Xena's voice turned colder. "How could that possibly be as intimidating as missiles? We haven't located the leader of Hall of Souls, Scarlet Lord. That's why we need something that sen

Donna laughed with a teasing look on her face. "What? You only managed to kill one S-tier Malevolent Phantom because you had perfect timing and conditions. Yet, you're acting so confident now." Since Donna was a Malevolent Phantom herself, Felix had to be careful. Felix had no problem with Donna knowing he was at Superior Soul Realm before. But now that he'd jumped up to Ethercore Realm, he had to keep quiet about it since that was something that required soul enhancement. "I know my limits. Or are you saying you don't know the answer, either?" Donna held up one finger before answering, "You're currently at Superior Soul Realm. You'll have to reach Ethercore Realm to be able to fight against an S-tier Malevolent Phantom." Felix was genuinely surprised to hear that, but he played it cool. "Really? Looks like I won't have to run from S-tier Malevolent Phantoms much longer." As expected, Donna snickered and replied coldly, "It might seem like just one level away, but don't you
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1456
Though the attack seemed coordinated, everything happened incredibly fast. Felix and Benjamin worked together perfectly, so it took them just over ten seconds to finish off Malachar. Felix felt lucky. Without Francis' soul fragment and Benjamin's help, he would never have killed an S-tier Malevolent Phantom like Malachar. That was a close one. "Benjamin, we got him." Hearing Felix's voice, Benjamin, who had been fighting off exhaustion, smiled before passing out. Just then, the power rebound from the Mystical Explosive Orb surged through him. Felix realized that while Francis' soul fragment was gone, he had sacrificed the valuable Scholar's Arsenal as well. But absorbing the power rebound from an S-tier Malevolent Phantom's soul essence was a pretty sweet deal anyway. As he absorbed it, Felix was completely blown away—though he already knew how powerful S-tier Malevolent Phantoms were. The one he'd run into at Laurel Resort had been falling apart at its soul core, yet its p

Though things had not gone exactly as planned, Felix hadn't grown this far on luck alone. He activated Lone Paragon, which enhanced his soul aspects by unleashing a fourfold boost in combat power. Lumen instantly shot toward Malachar. After exposing his true form, Malachar now had six legs and two antennas on his forehead, though otherwise he didn't look too different."You stupid brat, I can't believe you actually knew I wouldn't spare you!" Malachar grinned like a madman. Having devoured such a powerful soul, he was naturally in high spirits. With a casual wave of his hand, Lumen was knocked back as if hit by a heavy blow, returning instantly to Felix's side. "Benjamin!" This was no time for talk. They needed to take Malachar down before he fully digested Francis' soul fragment. "Having help won't save you. You've underestimated the power of an S-tier Malevolent Phantom." Benjamin had been preparing all along. Right then, he shot his right hand forward in a pointing gest

As the cracks on the stone sphere grew wider, Felix did not waste another second. He activated Soulweave and directed it to the Scholar's Arsenal inside him. Though Felix wasn't their actual owner, his soul consciousness existed within the Scholar's Arsenal. So when he performed the Soulweave technique from the Phaeron Codex, the four soul-bound weapons of the Scholar's Arsenal recognized Felix as their master. A visible vortex of soul energy formed instantly, pulling in the Scholar's Arsenal. Felix felt the Scholar's Arsenal trying to resist. Too bad for them—the Soulweave was already active in Felix's soul. It left them no room for rebellion as they were sucked straight into the vortex. He thought, "Damn it! I can't believe that it drains half of my soul energy." This technique was too costly, so there was no way he'd use it during battle in the future. The Soulweave process varied based on the quality of the soul-bound weapons—minimum three days, maximum nine. Now, he co
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1453
When Felix heard that Malachar had arrived, he tensed up. This was his first time being hunted by an S-tier Malevolent Phantom, and instead of fear, he felt incredibly excited. He sprang into action, vanishing into the barren mountain after a few quick jumps. Malachar was moving fast, so there was no time to waste. Arriving at a spot in the valley, Felix was surprised to see dozens of unmarked graves there. They were just small mounds of earth arranged neatly without headstones. What drew his attention was a large oval tomb in the center that was clearly made of stone. Even without a marker, the green stones alone were enough to show it was something special. The call from the Scholar's Arsenal was coming from inside. As Felix approached, a rumbling sound echoed as the oval stone structure split open down the middle. It revealed a pitch-black entrance leading underground. This soul fragment was hidden so carefully. It might actually remain undiscovered for thousands or even t
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1452
Donna nodded. Honestly, she herself felt tempted. Devouring such a soul would bring immeasurable growth, so no S-tier Malevolent Phantom could possibly pass up such an opportunity. Donna said, "But Felix, remember this. If that so-called soul fragment wins, it's your problem to deal with. But if Malachar wins, you must finish it off within one minute! "We S-tier Malevolent Phantoms can fully absorb a soul within a minute. You should know exactly how much stronger Malachar would become afterward." Felix gave a cold laugh, not bothering to respond. The moment the battle was decided, Malachar would attack relentlessly in the very next second—Felix would have less than one minute to react. Regardless of who won or lost, this was definitely going to happen no matter what. "By the way, can the Mystical Explosive Orb only capture a Malevolent Phantom's soul essence?" Donna smiled bitterly. "That's how the orb was designed. Thanks for your concern. I know what you're thinking. If the
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1451
Throughout Dragonia's history, there had been countless super geniuses whose existence was simply beyond description. What made the Malevolent Phantoms so special? Just because someone was from out of town didn't mean they know better, right? Felix had no idea why he felt so confident about his current plan. "Let's give it a try first." Clearly, no matter how much he tried to convince Donna, she still believed S-tier Malevolent Phantoms were stronger. She was so confident of this because she knew too well what Malevolent Phantoms were like. Before they began, Donna warned him again, "Are you sure he can handle the pressure when I unleash all my soul energy? One wrong move, and his soul will completely collapse." Felix was about to respond, but Benjamin had already answered, "It's fine. Go ahead. If I die from this, then it's what fate intended." Seeing the new look on Benjamin's face, Felix couldn't help but gulp. He felt as if an army of thousands was charging toward him, an

Similarly, after reaching Superior Soul Realm, Felix could use another secret technique from the Phaeron Codex called the Soulweave technique. It wasn't an attack. It resembled something like the Spirit Eye, which was reserved only for support.The Soulweave technique was to merge different soul-bound weapons and turn them into a different weapon. There was a high chance the new soul-bound weapons would surpass the original weapon by at least a level. Of course, there was also the probability of failure and getting nothing from it. The chance of success or failure was never predictable. It was all up to fate.Back when Felix infiltrated Rebirth Sect, he was excited. However, after seeing what the technique did, he almost burst a blood vessel from how frustrated he was. Soul-bound weapons only recognized their owner, let alone anything else.If the owner didn't take the bound away, the weapon would also disappear after its owner's death. So, didn't that mean Felix's new technique w
