All Chapters of The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection: Chapter 551 - Chapter 560

Zara lowered her head, not wanting Felix to notice her disappointment. She replied, "Yes, I understand. It won't happen again."When they reached the entrance of Mourning Village, the eerie atmosphere hit them both. Felix felt a shiver creep down his spine as he stared at the darkened village ahead. It loomed like the gaping maw of a monstrous beast, swallowing anyone who dared step inside and leaving no hope of return.Even standing outside, the oppressive darkness was suffocating. Felix could only imagine how it would feel to walk into the heart of it."Felix, let's put on the protective items," Zara urged.They quickly covered themselves with the various charms purchased from Sixview Peak. Felix was unsure if he was doing it to humor Zara or to settle his unease, but he did not mind the slight comfort it brought.Even as a powerful martial artist, Felix understood that the human fear of ghosts and the unknown could not simply be dismissed with brave words. With everything in pl

Xena and Alistair were already at the scene with numerous Wolfie troops members, having arrived in multiple helicopters. "Mr. Zeller, we'll take them in for questioning. Thank you for your help," Alistair said."Are you feeling suspicious about this incident?" Xena asked. When Felix nodded, she continued, "Dragonia is vast. Despite Mourning Village's supernatural reputation, there were never any casualties, so previous investigations were merely for show—they found nothing and left."That made sense. With no death, it would surely not get much attention. Felix had to admit that Polaris' strategy was clever. They scared people, but they never crossed the line into actual harm."Will the Martial Alliance handle this?" Felix inquired. Xena shook her head firmly and explained, "No. Given the severity of the situation, I've received authorization from headquarters to handle this personally. Anyone from Polaris involved will face the consequences."She added, "We can't let people s

Hansel was completely enraged to be touched. "Son of a bitch! Idiots show up every day, but today's count is off the charts! Do you have a death wish?"He spun around and threw a punch, only to stop midway."Excuse me? You didn't park your car properly. How could you blame others instead of owning up to it?"Hansel froze. When he got a good look at Felix, he nearly passed out from fright. "Mr. Z-Zeller!"Releasing his grip, Felix frowned. "Who are you?"Gulping, Hansel retreated, his face pale with fear. "I-I'm one of Mr. Luis' guys. I've seen you before."He began to slap himself repeatedly as he spoke. The smacks echoed loudly as he hit himself with all his strength."Mr. Zeller, please give me another chance! I'm begging you!"Felix felt a little frustrated. "Just move your car away. I'll let Luis decide your punishment.""Thank you, Mr. Zeller!"Only then did Felix notice Nancy standing nearby. "Nancy, are you heading out of town?"Nancy hadn't expected Felix to swoop in

"Alright. I'll talk to him about him when he wakes up," Xena replied.As they headed downstairs, they ran into Aimee, who had just entered the house."Felix? Who let you in here?"Before Felix could respond, Xena frowned and interjected, "Aimee, don't talk to Felix with that tone again, understood?"Aimee thought she had misheard. Her anger toward Felix flared up again. She had assumed that with the Greene family's involvement, Felix's fate would have been miserable. After all, families of that caliber rarely showed mercy to the people they had discarded. Yet here he was, still thriving.She had even sought answers from Nala, but there was no response. Seeing Felix standing in her own home was the last straw."Does he even deserve my respect? Have you forgotten the evil things this coward did to Grandpa?"Xena's expression turned icy. "That's not your concern. Just don't treat Felix like an enemy anymore."Feeling utterly betrayed by her own family, Aimee clenched her teeth. Le

Ethan's face shifted through a series of emotions before he scrambled into the car. "Quickly, Mr. Samson! Let's head back to Medic's Haven!"As the car sped away, Felix remained irritated. Those fools had chosen a spot with surveillance cameras. If it were somewhere more secluded, there would have been no need for all that talking. He'd have dealt with them directly.On top of that, Alistair was present. Felix didn't want to make things difficult for that upright guy."I'll handle this myself. Don't tell Xena about it."Alistair nodded solemnly. "Understood. I'll keep this to myself."…The next day, in an airport parking lot, Felix sat in the passenger seat of his car, gazing forlornly at Averill, who was gripping the steering wheel."Are you really not coming with me to Azuria, Averill?"The time had come to fulfill the Miracle Card. While he had a Speed Talisman from Gerald to escape if things went south, Felix couldn't help but worry. He hadn't forgotten the lesson from las
