The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 10
Wendy finally understood what Xander was referring to at that time. The big shot he had said needed help for her grandfather was none other than the war goddess, Xena Summers."Lady Summers, please don't misunderstand. I have no intention of keeping any help from you. However, I genuinely dare not proceed without permission from the master healer. I'm sure you know from Dr. Fielding what his temper is like."No interaction under this sky wasn't driven by interests. Xena didn't expect Wendy to explain herself so readily without excessive prodding."Just say the word, and I'll be at the Kinsley family's disposal from here on out."Wendy was shocked to the core. Such a promise was priceless beyond words. Standing before her was the first goddess of war in Dragonia who possessed supreme power. With her on their side, her family would definitely soar to great heights.Yet, as soon as she thought of Felix, a pang of guilt surged within her again."I'm so sorry, Lady Summers. This is not a m

Just then, Felix's phone rang. When Sasha and the others saw the caller ID, their fury was immediately extinguished.A phone call from Wendy Kinsley?Everyone knew of Wendy. She was the daughter of the richest man here, the drop-dead gorgeous CEO of Avesburgh, and the dream woman of countless men.Just this guy? Did he really have access to Wendy's mobile? That was beyond belief.At this point, Felix had already stepped aside to answer the call."Are you here?""In a few minutes, F-Felix. Since you're there, I've made a reservation at Zenith Pavilion. We can talk there. It's quite quiet. There's no need to change locations."Although she had Felix's permission to address him by his given name, Wendy still felt distinctly uncomfortable."Okay. I'll head over now."When he hung up, Sasha was about to burst into flames."Felix Zeller! Are you not done yet? First, you show off with an edited image. Then, you hire someone to pretend to be the richest man's daughter and call you at such a cr

Hugo's brows knitted together as his deep gaze landed on Ruth."Are you saying Felix—the guy freeloading at Sasha's—has Wendy's phone number?"Ruth shrank back in fear, while Sasha stepped in to smooth things over."Hugo, I'm afraid you've misunderstood. That guy just loves to show off. If you let me explain, I'm sure we can clear things up for you."After learning about Felix's actions at Concord Bank and his presence here, Hugo let out a disdainful sneer."That's more like it. If someone like that had access to Wendy's contact, even pigs could fly!"Ivan quickly chimed in, "You're right. It was just too much of a coincidence! We almost let that bastard fool us again."Hugo patted him on the shoulder. "How dare that piece of garbage that even Sasha despises pretend to have Wendy's number? Don't you guys agree that he needs a lesson?"Ivan caught his message without fail. He had long been thinking about teaching Felix a lesson for harboring thoughts about his woman. Now that he

The Miracle Card worked in a rather straightforward way. On its flip side were multiple layers of a special coating. Each time it was retrieved, a layer would be peeled off to reveal a new phone number. This would be Gerald's latest contact information.This system seemed to have no safeguards, yet it topped any high-tech security system. Only two people in the world could process the card for its next use—Felix and Gerald. They practiced the same unique technique, which was the only method to remove the coating.By now, the little boy had arrived at the entrance of Luxe Dining. He held the Miracle Card in his hands. The previous coating had already been peeled off by Felix, thus making it ready for use.The boy hastily stopped a heavily bejeweled woman and asked, "Excuse me, ma'am. Would you like to buy this?"Disgust instantly clouded her face."Go away! Where on earth did this little beggar come from? How useless can the security be at Luxe Dining? How could they let him linger

The Phoenix Legion was a formidable force led by Xena. Apart from the highest authorities in Dragonia, the army only answered to Xena.The legion was stationed on the outskirts of Avesburgh. They occupied a vast area and were equipped with all sorts of advanced weaponry. Whenever they were deployed, victory was guaranteed.Because her unit was based here by national orders, Xena also had to reside in Avesburgh. At this moment, Xena was in her office at the headquarters of the Phoenix Legion, reviewing some documents."There's a possibility that the S-ranked fugitive group—the Menacing Four—could make an appearance in Avesburgh in the coming days? Ha! Where did these thugs get the balls to come and make a mess in my territory?"Just then, her office door swung open, and in walked her subordinate, Belle Frost. She was drop-dead gorgeous, a stunning beauty who had been under Xena for a few years now."Milady, there's news about the miracle doctor."Xena leaped to her feet. She had

At sunset, Felix stood near a café in Avesburgh. He waited by the roadside for someone to pick him up.He was in quite a good mood now. He was clad in white from head to toe, including a pair of snow-white shoes."The old man definitely did this on purpose," he muttered.This attire was Gerald's requirement, as a distinctive mark for recognition. He strongly suspected it to be a prank Gerald was pulling on him, but he ultimately had no choice in the matter.Since the Miracle Card was still in Avesburgh, it had to be the one he handed to the little boy. Its reputation and immeasurable value had to have made it an easy sell. It didn't take long at all for it to change hands.As he pondered this, a Mercedes S500 pulled up to him. The driver's door swung open, and Ivan stepped out of the car.He scanned his surroundings and reluctantly locked eyes with Felix."Felix Zeller! What are you doing here!"As per Winston's instructions, Ivan was here to pick up someone dressed entirely in

Xena couldn't believe her eyes. Ivan had gone out to welcome the miracle doctor, and there was no way the Cameron family would get something so important wrong. Didn't this mean that Felix was the miracle doctor?How could that be? Felix was so young, and the legends about the miracle doctor had already been around for decades. The timeline didn't match up.Winston was similarly confused. Who the hell was this guy that Ivan had brought in? Based on his looks alone, he couldn't be the miracle doctor.Felix didn't expect to see Xena around. He frowned when he saw her. "Why are there outsiders around?"Ivan didn't dare say anything—he knew he was bound to upset someone, no matter what he said. More importantly, he couldn't afford to offend any of the people present.Having outsiders around after summoning the miracle doctor with the Miracle Card was against the rules. Xander had been present at the Kinsley residence, but that was fine because he was also a healer."An outsider?" Xen

Before this, Winston would've demanded Felix return the Miracle Card to him so he could show it to Xena. Now, however, things were different. Felix had yet to start treating Cheryl, but he'd already diagnosed what'd happened.Even if Ivan didn't understand what Felix meant, Winston did. He knew that the Cameron family did indeed have a hidden foe who was a martial arts master. A few years ago, they'd received threats from this person, but Winston hadn't expected Cheryl to be the one to suffer from it.Naturally, he believed Felix was the real deal. He said hesitantly, "Mr. Zeller, what do you…""Tell her that I've already taken back the Miracle Card and left. Or if you feel like you've been put in a tough spot, you can just ignore her," Felix said. After that, he pulled out two silver needles. This time, the acupuncture was only a helpful tool. What would really do the work here was his skills.As he started treating Cheryl, the butler stood by, feeling like he was between a rock

Felix stroked his chin and began walking slowly in one direction. As he observed from this street, Corpse Town was clearly vast. He could not even see where it ended."What exactly are the dangers here?" Ophelia had only mentioned the correct order to enter the Three Forbidden Lands, saying nothing about what lay within. Perhaps she didn't know herself or believed following the sequence would keep Felix safe.But that didn't matter now. He was already inside.As he walked, a young waiter emerged from a building with a tavern sign, greeting Felix by asking, "Sir, would you like a room or a meal?"Felix studied him carefully with a frown before answering, "A meal."An ordinary person would have been terrified. That was because the waiter's feet hovered slightly off the ground, which was barely noticeable unless one looked closely. "Right this way, sir." Inside, the tavern buzzed with activity. Every table except one was filled with people laughing, drinking, and chatting merrily

Felix was stunned. His casual conversation with Dickson had proven true. The person emerging from Corpse Town was none other than Dean.Back then, Dickson had joked that with such a high bounty and no trace of the Maximus family, there were only two possibilities. Either they had gone to the capital, or they had hidden in one of the Three Forbidden Lands.But how likely was the latter? Everyone in Martial City knew the Three Forbidden Lands were places of no return. Why would the entire Maximus family hide there?Yet, here was proof. Their elder—and only master of the Transcendence Realm—had appeared. What more evidence was needed?Seeing his enemy made Dean's blood boil. Once, he, the Grand Elder, and two masters of Transcendent Realm had worked together. But not only had they failed to capture Felix, but they also watched him survive the Echo Cavern—a place that should have meant certain death.Though hiding in Corpse Town, Dean occasionally ventured out in disguise. That was wh

As the moment approached, Felix signaled Shepherd, who sighed while stroking the steering wheel. "Ah, you've been with me for years. This time you probably won't even be fixable. Goodbye." His sudden betrayal would definitely destroy the car. He seemed to have a genuine attachment to it."Don't worry, I'll get you another one."Behind the Mercedes-Benz, four masters of Transcendent Realm followed. They were maintaining the maximum distance where they could see the G63 without being detected by its occupants. "Stay alert. We're far enough from Imperial City. They could act at any moment." The leader had barely finished speaking when a companion complained, "We should have thought to turn Shepherd earlier. We would have succeeded already.""Shut up! Focus on the task at hand."Suddenly, at the edge of their vision, the G63 exploded. They heard Andre's furious roar. "Shepherd! How dare you attack me?"The four immediately accelerated toward the scene."Felix! Run! Shepherd has

The fact that Aiden knew Felix's true identity was not surprising. Though he had been too young to remember Cordelia's face and status when Victor was alive, Meredith had known everything. Expecting panic from Felix, Aiden instead heard a calm telepathic response. "Really? Then, go tell the royal family. I'm right here in Imperial City. Let them come for me." Watching Felix enter the restaurant, Aiden clenched his fists before leaving."Did he think I'd be afraid?" Felix was not concerned. If Aiden meant to talk, he would have done so long before this encounter.It was obvious that Kevin had taken the Dragonspine from the Skeletal Demon for Aiden's sake. After all, Aiden had been searching for it in the capital. He must have missed Felix during that time when Felix was not around.Now, Aiden surely knew Felix had several Dragonspine pieces. He wouldn't tell the royal family about him. Because if Felix died, the Dragonspine would be lost forever.After eating, Felix entered th

Hearing Andre's words, Felix asked, "And what if I had a way? One that guaranteed the royal family couldn't find me." Andre smiled. "If you really do, Shepherd and I will help you put on a show." Behind the wheel, Shepherd sighed. "Why drag me into this?" "Stop complaining! After this failed attempt, the royal family will contact you. Am I right?" Everyone in Martial City knew Shepherd valued profit above all else—at least to the ones in the car. Andre's words rang true."Fine. We'll put on a show. I'll be the good guy just for once," Shepherd agreed. Deborah smirked. Playing the good guy? He simply saw better odds backing Felix than the overbearing royal family.…In Imperial City, Zayn's face darkened as he hung up the phone. "Ean! Have you heard? The six masters of Transcendent Realm failed. It feels like a nightmare." Ean Palmer remained notably calmer, contemplating before speaking, "It seems Felix has multiple ways to save himself. Or perhaps Deborah arranged a hid
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1055
Though unsure why Felix asked about this, Deborah answered, "We certainly do. Many attempt to steal pills or herbs from Harmony Clinic. Once caught, they fall under our jurisdiction. "So far, we've used them all as test subjects for our pills." This was perfect. Felix's newly formed plan could work. "Madam Goddard, since the royal family is so relentless, they'd kill openly in the city. Thus, nowhere is truly safe for me." He realized he had been naive earlier for wanting to rely on Cordelia's token and his own abilities while staying in the city. Shepherd's words had struck home. What if the royal family sent one of their most terrifying masters of Transcendent Realm to kill him? That would lead to two outcomes: either his death or Cordelia appearing publicly to save him. Their relationship would become known throughout Martial City. Even if others remained clueless, how could the royal family not figure it out?The danger would only escalate then. "So, what do you propose?
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1054
"Felix is right. We should head to Imperial City." Deborah felt helpless. All she could do now was worry about Felix. Even with several masters of Transcendence Realm backing them, challenging the royal family would be futile. As they continued their journey, Felix asked, "Madam Goddard, have you or Mr. Earnhart Senior ever met the royal alchemists?" The question made Deborah frown as she answered, "Yes. We've met them and know who they are, but their pill-forming rate remains a mystery." Her body tensed when she finished speaking."Are you saying the royal family attacked because they feared your presence would affect Martial City's Ascension Pill production?" When Felix nodded, Deborah, Ezra, and the others immediately grasped the implications."That explains how the royal family maintained so many masters of Transcendence Realm over the years. They must have eliminated any alchemist they thought could produce advanced pills at a higher rate." Everyone understood withou

Only when the voice rang out did everyone notice someone had approached. They were all shocked. After all, their power should have detected any presence. Their amazement doubled when they saw it was Felix who had lifted Lloyd by the throat. "Felix! How are you still alive?" Lloyd was the most dramatic, his eyes filled with disbelief. Then, realizing his situation, he panicked. "Help me! Help me!" Despite consuming several pills, his body was still exhausted from using all his trump cards. He could barely move his fingers and speak more clearly than before. In every other way, he was in an utterly vulnerable situation.Just as the other three were about to move, a crisp snap echoed. Lloyd's neck went limp as Felix casually tossed him to the ground. "What's wrong? You're allowed to try killing me, but I'm not allowed to kill?" Without hesitation, the remaining three masters fled. They were clever enough not to separate, running in the same direction. Otherwise, they might ha

Cordelia asked, "You must have known my identity for a while. Now that we've met, is there anything you need me to do for you?" Felix smiled softly. "No need. I'll seek justice with my own hands. If you could have helped earlier, you would have, right?" Felix was truly brilliant, and Cordelia was delighted at such a realization. He was indeed her and Victor's son."The attack on you was ordered by the King, carried out by the fourth and sixth princes. Felix, your presence threatens the balance the royal family has maintained for years." Felix's brow furrowed as realization dawned. "Are you talking about alchemy?" "Exactly. Specifically, the Ascension Pill that creates masters of the Transcendent Realm. The royal alchemists' success rate may not be the highest, but it far exceeds both Bern and Madam Goddard. That's why there are so many masters in the royal family. "Your emergence means more powerful warriors outside royal control. What if they rebel one day? The royal family
