All Chapters of The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection: Chapter 331 - Chapter 340

Felix quickly stepped out but finished delivering his message. "Mr. Summers Senior says lunch is ready."The bedroom door slammed shut as Xena sat on her bed, looking upset. Her hair was dripping wet and wrapped in a towel. Though nothing was really exposed, she felt violated.She believed this kind of scene was meant for a husband's eyes only, not Felix's. If she had known Curtis had invited Felix for lunch, she would never have chosen this time to shower. With the female housekeeper and Curtis being her own family, she felt safe enough to leave her door ajar. After all, none of them would enter without her permission. Yet, this had led to this embarrassing scene."That damn jerk!" Xena cursed, seething at the thought of Felix seeing her fresh from the shower. Ten minutes later, Xena came downstairs wearing overly modest clothing that covered everything possible."Xena, are you going out?" Curtis asked, confused since she had agreed to have lunch at home."No," she replied cu

Telepathy? Felix smirked and kept driving, ignoring the voice. It was amusing that simply having lunch with the Summers family had attracted this kind of attention. As he pondered the matter, he realized that Phantom Poison, which had affected Curtis, was incredibly rare and valuable. After encountering Vilebane, the creator of that poison, Felix knew that ordinary people could not possibly access someone of that power level.In other words, the Summers family had a hidden enemy who was finally showing their hand. After some hesitation, he called Xena, who actually answered. "What do you want?" Her cold tone immediately irritated him.If Curtis had not been such an honorable man who respected their engagement and gave them a month to get to know each other and see if they could make this arrangement work, Felix would not have bothered getting involved."Come to my house. There's someone you need to take into custody," he stated."Are you ordering me around?" Xena snapped."Wha

Jack did not know who this "miss" was that Yvonne referred to with such respect, but he focused entirely on the concert mention. "Please thank her for her kindness, but I'll have to decline," Felix responded, puzzled by the invitation.He had not really shown his medical skills during the competition with Guneria, so it was strange that Nala was suddenly so interested in him. Not only had she not been angry when he declined her dinner invitation, but now she was offering concert tickets."I understand. I'll relay your response," Yvonne said before hanging up. Before Jack could speak, another call came in—this time from Sherlyn, whom Felix had not heard from in a while. "Hello, Ms. Holt," Felix answered."Hey! Can't you just call me Sherlyn?" she protested.Felix felt awkward with Jack sitting right there. "Go ahead, Sherlyn. I'm listening." "That's better! You must know about Dreamscape's concert in Canraville, right? Would you like to go with me? You won't say no, will y

Julia felt justified in her attitude, both from her assumptions and because financial checks were indeed required to purchase at New Glory—it was company policy. Looking at Felix's attire, with no designer labels and not even a luxury watch that any successful person would wear, Julia was convinced he was just a nobody trying to show off. Felix remained calm. "A financial check? Where do we do that?""We can verify it right here," Julia said with a smirk, thinking Felix was just another shameless person. Someone quickly brought over a card reader while the other agents shared Julia's skepticism about Felix's buying power. Only Michelle inexplicably believed in him, though her position made her hesitant to speak up."Sir, please present your bank card and enter your PIN here. The machine won't charge you—it just needs to verify you have at least ten million dollars in available funds. The light will turn green if successful," Aaron Turner explained.Felix nodded and handed

The others looked at Felix with similar contempt, clearly disapproving of Jack and Vanessa's relationship. The Dreamscape concert was the hot topic of the moment, making it the perfect tool for their mockery. Moreover, these were Section A tickets—something even many wealthy people could not get their hands on, let alone what they considered a country bumpkin from Avesburgh like Jack.A strange glint flashed in Felix's eyes, but before he could speak, the woman who had greeted him intervened. She scolded, "Robert! Nessa's already talked about this, and you know her temper! Can't you tone it down?" The woman then tugged at Felix's sleeve and added, "Don't mind him—he just likes to joke around. Please, have a seat."Robert Sharkey tucked the tickets away, and his expression softened slightly. "I'm just trying to be nice here, not insult you. Our circle isn't something ordinary people can just join, and Nessa has other admirers. You'll be in trouble once your name gets out there."
