Semua Bab The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection: Bab 1271 - Bab 1280

Yolanda said, "I finally understand what people mean when they say that kindness gets repaid. If I hadn't stood up for you back in elementary school, you probably wouldn't even remember my name now."Felix nodded. "That's true. Back in elementary school, the only names I really remembered were the ones I was close with. We barely talked back then—guess it was just fate."After they finished eating, Yolanda suddenly said, "Business is business, but the fact remains—you saved my family. And let's not forget, you also spent 100 million dollars on the Meyers situation. If we said that little favor from elementary school was enough to cancel out all of this, my family and I wouldn't feel right."She continued, "Since you don't need money, my dad figured the least we could do was let you take a look at his vault. If there's anything you like, it's yours."Felix waved a hand dismissively. "That's really not necessary. This investment benefits me, too—it's a win-win situation. I don't see

Felix's strength had grown, and he was not the same as before. Now, he could finally take the plunge.Nonetheless, there was one last thing he needed to do before setting off—master Dragon Rebirth, the technique Gerald had given him. He was unsure what lay beyond the Grandmaster Realm, but he trusted Gerald. Another day passed, and Felix successfully cultivated Dragon Rebirth. As expected, it was the natural successor to Dragon Destroyer—otherwise, it would not have been this easy. The technique was running on its own, but Felix did not feel much of a difference at the moment. Still, he knew results would not come overnight, so he had to take things one step at a time.As for dealing with the Leaping Creek Corporation, Zion had taken care of everything through his connections with the Warlock family. Felix did not have the time to plan every move—he only needed to make sure the Zuckerberg family could survive this crisis and accept the changes without resistance.That afternoon,

Felix was fully focused—this was the kind of intel headquarters would never provide. There was no way he would miss a single word when it came to his own survival.Donna explained, "When an S-tier Malevolent Phantom reaches this state, even though its consciousness is in chaos, its instincts will still push it to seek salvation. It does this by filtering souls in a specific way, selecting only those that meet its criteria to reach its soul core. What happens after that—whether it wakes up or how you might influence its recovery—is something I don't know."But one thing is certain—the only chance you'll have to kill it is when you see its soul core. This isn't just for us Malevolent Phantoms—every creature's soul core is its most vulnerable point. Normally, it's buried under layers of soul energy and defenses, making it nearly impossible to find."That explained why Donna thought Felix had a shot. Just imagining the kind of energy an S-tier Malevolent Phantom's refined soul could add

If it were not for people like them stepping forward, there would be no such thing as an era of peace. These were the true heroes....Laurel Resort was grand and expansive, surrounded by lush mountains and crystal-clear waters, making it a prime tourist destination. However, the steep costs make most families think twice before booking a few nights. Felix was actually grateful for the high prices—if not for that, there would likely be far more than just two hundred people trapped inside.According to Xena, all other entrances to the resort had been completely sealed off, leaving only the opulent front gate. Strangely enough, this was not done by outsiders but by the people inside the resort themselves.While standing at the entrance, Felix suddenly felt a bitter sense of exhaustion. He had married a beautiful, intelligent, and understanding wife, yet he had not even had time for a honeymoon, let alone enjoy the joys of newlywed life. Instead, he was always on the move, constan

Felix thought to himself, "This is interesting… So once it hits midnight, I have to go back to my room? But as long as I stay inside, they don't seem to care what I do. So this is what they mean by 'spending a night' here?"As he recalled, none of the other guest rooms had staff stationed outside, which made it easy to figure out that this forceful escorting only applied to newcomers.With that in mind, he simply lay down on the bed and went to sleep. His nerves were steady enough that, despite everything, he actually managed to doze off.When he woke up, Felix glanced at the clock on the wall—it was already past 9:00 am. So far, he felt completely normal, and nothing seemed different from the day before. He took a deep breath and decided it was time to start his real investigation. "I want to go home." The moment that thought crossed his mind, an indescribable force seeped into his soul. He could feel it, clear as day. However, the force was so weak that he could easily dispel it
