All Chapters of The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection: Chapter 391 - Chapter 400

"Felix, I'm meeting Nessa's parents soon. If everything goes smoothly, we'll be handing out wedding invitations," Jack revealed.At the bar, Jack was grinning ear to ear. He was not getting any younger. To him, success in life meant both career and family. With his career already set, marriage was the logical next step. "Am I right, Nessa?" Vanessa smiled and replied, "Don't worry. I get to choose whoever I want to marry. My parents can't tell me what to do." Though there would certainly be some resistance, she was being truthful. Besides, everything would surely work out once Felix had given her that book of martial arts techniques. "I'm going to use the bathroom," Felix said. Beer always had a way of sending people to the bathroom. After finishing up and washing his hands, Felix was rounding the corner when someone blocked his path. Felix stepped aside, but the guy matched his movements and kept blocking him. From his swaying body and the heavy stench of alcohol, it was cl

Xena practically roared those words. Even Felix heard them clearly while sitting beside Jaden. He felt moved and surprised by how much she cared about him. Xena never ran from problems. Just as she had been firm in her previous stance, she was ready to face anything together now that she had decided to be with Felix. This only made Jaden angrier. The more she cared about Felix, the more it infuriated him. "Xena, do I need to remind you how your cousin Ted died and why your uncle Perry committed suicide? Have you forgotten all that? And now you're still protecting Felix, who's your enemy. I really don't understand what's going through your head." After Felix's warning last time, Xena investigated his claims and discovered that Ted had indeed tried to harm Felix a few times using vicious methods. He only failed because of Felix's strength. As for Perry, his overly indulgent parenting had led to all this. "Stop with the pointless talk. Are you releasing him or not?" Xena asked b

In the big courtyard of Crimson Sage Sect, Felix stood on a raised platform. He was flanked by two sect elders who had clear orders to kill him at any suspicious movement. The thunderous sound of helicopter blades grew louder as it approached. Looking up, Felix guessed it must be Xena arriving. Even after her phone call with Jaden had proved futile, Xena still came to Crimson Sage Sect in person for Felix's sake. Whatever Jaden's plans were, this couldn't be good. As the helicopter landed in the courtyard, Xena emerged alone without any backup. Her eyes immediately found Felix, and she walked straight toward him. "You shouldn't have come," he said.Xena bit her lower lip but kept walking. "I don't need you telling me what to do. Keep quiet!" She feared Felix might say something that would further anger the sect members. Regardless of what really happened, they could not deny that a disciple from Crimson Sage Sect was dead. As she reached the platform, Jaden blocked her pa

With those words, Cecil had asserted Crimson Sage Sect's status and his resolve in this matter. But at the same time, he had also insulted the two master healers, Xander and Wesley. Jaden breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing how the other sect members remained silent after Cecil spoke, he could confirm that they were on his side. "What if you add me to the equation?" Suddenly, Zara spoke up, which made Cecil's eyes flicker. "Zara! Why are you stirring up trouble?" Jaden asked.Zara gave Jaden a disappointed look and replied, "Don't call me Zara anymore! Love should be mutual between a man and a woman, yet you're using such dirty tactics to pursue someone. From this moment on, our friendship is over!" Damn it! So be it, then. Once he managed to marry Xena, Zara would be nothing compared to him. Before long, he might even become the leader of Martial Alliance. Xena's case was a little trickier to him because of her position. If it were any other woman from a prestigious or wealth

Everyone had left, but the members of Crimson Sage Sect remained rooted to the spot. Felix's final words echoed in their minds like thunder even after a long time. "Mr. Black, could he use these master healers' connections against our sect?" Jaden was the most devastated of all. Felix had not moved a muscle throughout the ordeal, yet Jaden had been forced to release him. It was a thousand times more humiliating than being defeated in combat. Cecil looked at him with disappointment in his eyes. "I've always told you to be vigilant and consider every angle. If you had properly investigated Felix's actual background, would our sect be in such an embarrassing position now?" After this incident, Crimson Sage Sect would definitely be blacklisted by those master healers in Dragonia. Not only that, Cecil had to use up Silas' favor. He had really lost big time. Jaden hung his head low, not daring to speak. He had miscalculated this time. Though his fellow apprentices did not dare say
