The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 245
Felix's expression changed. Leslie was coming, too? Averill was already enough for him to deal with. If Leslie joined in, he couldn't imagine how things would turn out."But don't worry. I've sent Leslie away for now. If you cooperate and compromise with me later, I'll not only help you out but also make sure that Leslie won't bother you for a while."Although those words calmed Felix a bit, he knew very well that "cooperating" with Averill wasn't going to be as simple as it sounded.Jack couldn't stop gawking at her as Averill walked closer. Then, sure enough, she sat directly next to Felix and gave him a kiss on the cheek."Darling, sorry that I'm late."What?Jack nearly lost his balance and had to grab the chair to steady himself.Every man seeing this scene could practically hear their heart shattering into pieces. How could Felix get such a perfect woman?Even Felix couldn't help but laugh at Jack's reaction."Jack, is it really that shocking?" he teased.Taking a few d

Averill blinked her eyes a few times and asked, "That's it? Are you sure you're not just frustrated and need me to comfort you?"Felix gave a bitter smile."That's really it. I'm hoping you can help, Averill.""Alright. I get it. What a bore! If I had known it would be this dull, I wouldn't have gone through the trouble of diverting Leslie."…Meanwhile, the atmosphere at the Great Imperial Sect was grim. After all, their Supreme Elder, who was considered the guardian of the sect, had perished. Who could possibly feel good in such a situation?"Mr. Cunningham! Are we just going to let this slide?"Days had passed since the incident. Though the elders gathered in the council hall daily, no one had much to say. The deputy sect leader glared angrily, sharing the same frustration as the rest, who were visibly unable to let go of their indignation.Jaxon glanced around and said coldly, "And what should we do? Even our Supreme Elder was struck dead by a lightning bolt. Do you reall

"Let him in immediately!"After recalling the incident, Jaxon hurriedly gave the order. What shocked everyone was that the moment the words left his mouth, a young man suddenly appeared in the hall.No one present had noticed how he entered.Jaden was a handsome young man with a unique air, which set him apart. He was the type that would stand out instantly in a crowd."Mr. Cunningham, I am Jaden Hault, the Ninth Elder of Crimson Sage Sect. Nice to meet you," Jaden greeted with a calm smile.Although this was a rather casual gesture considering their ranks, Jaxon didn't take it as arrogance. Instead, he eagerly stepped down from his seat, no longer daring to remain at the head of the hall."Mr. Hault, it is an honor for the Great Imperial Sect to receive someone of your stature," Jaxon said warmly.After the two sat down, Jaden finally spoke, "I've come today for your student, Xena. I believe you've already recalled what my mentor told you eight years ago?"Jaxon nodded. "I tho

Finally, Dora made up her mind. "Let's do this! I, Dora, have never gambled once in my life. But this time, I'll go crazy with you!"Just as she finished speaking, three cars suddenly appeared, blocking the road both in front and behind. Dora was forced to slam on the brakes."Are they out of their minds? Who dares block my car?"But the next moment, she saw the license plates and immediately knew she was in trouble."Damn! It's my dad's car."Sure enough, the door of the Rolls-Royce opened, and a middle-aged man stepped out. Right beside him was her brother, Sam."Damn it! It was Sam. He must have ratted me out."Dora turned to Felix with a pitiful expression. "Felix, can you come down with me? Otherwise, my dad will definitely kill me this time. Please help me explain."Felix sighed. He did owe Dora a favor for helping him earlier, so doing her this small favor was no big deal."Alright."After they stepped out of the car, the middle-aged man's expression softened slightly

Bradley's sudden reaction left Zachary stunned for a moment, but he quickly chuckled."Felix? He was just a friend of mine."Before he could finish, Bradley's sharp gaze locked onto him, and his tone became sterner. "Tell me the truth. Is he really just a friend, or are you trying to dig up information about Felix?"How could Bradley not know his nephew's character? Zachary was notorious for stirring up trouble. As the commander of the Phoenix Legion, Bradley had dealt with all sorts of cunning individuals. He could easily tell when someone was lying.The room fell silent as everyone turned to watch, especially Benedict. He stood up and sternly said, "Tell your uncle the truth!"A man of his experience could easily sense the seriousness in Bradley's demeanor.Although Zachary was puzzled, he hurriedly told the truth, "Uncle Bradley, it's true. I wanted to find out more about Felix. We had some disagreements, but it's not a big deal. I saw with my own eyes that the Phoenix Legion t

"Felix, I'm Bradley Sutton, colonel of the Phoenix Legion. My grandfather was once comrades-in-arms with Mr. Holt Senior."Felix's attitude naturally shifted when he heard Bradley's introduction. If Ernest was a war hero, how could Bradley's grandfather be any less significant?"Hey, Bradley, what can I do for you?" Felix asked with a friendly tone."Alright. Zachary is my nephew. From what I understand, your disagreement with him isn't too serious. Could you do me a favor and allow him to apologize to you? Honestly, I only just found out about this situation."Felix pulled the car over to the side of the road, smiling. "Since it is you, of course, I'll give you this courtesy."After all, their disagreement hadn't gone too far. If it had, even Bradley's intervention wouldn't have helped."Thank you very much. I'll make sure my cousin keeps an eye on Zachary in the future."With that matter resolved, Felix turned his car around and decided to head home.…Meanwhile, Dora, who w

After Felix arrived at Tabiner Bay, he pulled into the parking lot and handed his keys to the security guard. He then told Dora to send someone over for the car. As he walked past Yvonne's villa, he noticed her sitting in her yard, even though it was already late. "Want to come in for a bit?" she offered after they locked eyes. "It's alright. I'm kind of tired." Curiosity flickered in Yvonne's eyes. Felix actually managed to get back from the Phoenix Legion unscathed. It seemed unlikely that they would arrest someone by mistake. It would be ridiculous if the Phoenix Legion had mobilized their teams without solid evidence, wouldn't it? "What other secrets are you hiding, Felix?" As Yvonne muttered to herself, she steeled herself. This was precisely why she was sent here. But part of her hoped she would not uncover anything. If she did, the chances of him being together with her boss might just become higher. Felix had barely stepped into his yard when Sherlyn dashed over.

Outside, Jaden was approaching slowly with a faint smile on his face. "He can't even sense the killing intent I'm releasing on purpose. This Felix guy is pretty average, isn't he?" He wanted to test the waters. Otherwise, nobody could have noticed his movements with his skills. "Are you Jaden Hault?" A woman suddenly appeared and blocked his path. Jaden squinted as he sized her up. He then smiled. "Well, well, if it isn't Xena Summers! Never thought our first meeting would be at such a place and timing." Jaden had seen Xena's pictures countless times. Even if she had looked hideous, he would still marry her and treat her well. That was because his mentor's divination demanded it. However, what man wouldn't appreciate beauty? He had been struck by her looks in the photos, so he was naturally overjoyed. He had basically already claimed her as his woman. "You're indeed very strong. I can tell just from your killing intent." Xena had mixed feelings about this. She never expecte

Ginny reminded herself repeatedly that she was undergoing this treatment so that her future as a martial artist wouldn't be marred by any accidents. She was determined to soldier on despite what might happen. Also, Felix was a professional doctor and thus would surely not have any designs on her.After her maids retreated, Felix stepped forward. Ginny, who had turned her head to the side, not daring to see him, suddenly heard him say, "Can you lead me there?"Curious about what that meant, Ginny looked at him, only to be shocked. Felix, who had covered his eyes with a blindfold, was led forward by her maids, and his hands were brought to rest on a certain spot."Can I begin now, Ms. Longstone?" Felix asked. Warmth suffused Ginny's heart, and gratitude filled her gaze. "Certainly. Thank you, Dr. Zeller."The moment Felix began the massage, Ginny felt heat rise in her core, which made her admire Felix even more. After a while, Ginny felt a scorching heat in her body, and her face

"There's a tiny speck inside your core filled with rimefrost energy. As time passes, this speck will gradually enlarge, reaching a size that will impact your core ten years later," Felix explained. "You may not be in fatal danger when that time comes, but you will experience side effects if you are to fight against someone else. I think I won't need to describe them; you already know."Ginny's mouth was wide with shock. She didn't expect things to be so serious. Practicing the martial arts was what she enjoyed most in this life. If she were to lose the ability to fight as a martial artist one day, it wouldn't be any different from death. "Can this be treated, Dr. Zeller?" This was the first time Ginny spoke to him with respect. She'd come to acknowledge his skill as a doctor."If it can be spotted, of course it can be treated," Felix said. "Take the medicine I give you on time for at least three months while also massaging your core. Three months later, the speck of lingering rimef

Just as Ginny was about to say something, Felix continued, "However, I have detected symptoms of an underlying chronic ailment. She's fine now, but her symptoms will culminate after ten years if persistently ignored."A chronic ailment? Ginny frowned at Felix's serious expression. "Huh? A chronic illness? H-How can it be treated, Dr. Zeller?" Gras asked anxiously. Why would Ginny be afflicted with a chronic illness when she'd never fallen sick throughout the years?Only then did Ginny come back to her senses, more furious than before because this hack of a doctor had almost hoodwinked her. "Nonsense!" she snapped. "I've been practicing the martial arts since I was a kid, and I've never even fallen sick from minor illnesses! I'd never have a chronic illness!"Father," she continued. "This doctor is obviously as mediocre as those scammers from before. He's just here to cheat money out of us. Tell him to leave!"Felix frowned at the accusations. So this was why Ginny was so hostile

Gras instantly wore an expression of concern and began asking Ginny countless questions. Beneath his powerful countenance, he was a man who doted on his daughter."What's wrong, my dear? Does it hurt anywhere?" he asked. "Don't worry. Dr. Zeller is a phenomenal doctor who can treat any illness. I wouldn't have gone so far just to invite him over."His words made Felix have a change of opinion. It seemed that the elders at The Recovery Association hadn't given anyone the permission to approach Felix—they knew as well that keeping a low profile would benefit them more.Obviously, Gras was truly searching for a skilled doctor and had come to Felix, who was recommended by someone reliable. This was better in Felix's opinion. He'd feel awkward if he were to be the Longstones' guest, and he'd rather work for them as a skilled doctor. "I'll have to trouble you with checking her over, Dr. Zeller. I'm sorry for putting you to work immediately after a long journey.""It's fine," Felix re

Even if Felix was eliminated, he could still go back and train hard with his family. If he ended up dead, though, he would lose everything. Five days passed in a flash, and Gras' men had arrived—four martial artists in a carriage. All the villagers, who couldn't bear to say goodbye to Felix, had come to send him off. Not only did Felix not ask for a single cent, but he'd also taught Lincoln medicine. Although Lincoln was still a beginner, he was sure to become more skilled in the future. Having him here would be better than having no doctor, like now. "Mr. Campbell! Take care!" Felix nodded at Leandre once before giving Lincoln a meaningful look.He smiled at Lincoln, who was waving fervently with tears streaming down his face. It was fate that he'd met Lincoln in this unfamiliar village. The martial artists had stayed the night in the village before escorting Felix in the morning. This was the only way to avoid passing by tDesolated Lands at night. The carriage sped up

Felix had told Gras what to say in advance. Only with that would Wagner and his accomplices give up on harming Innswood Village. They'd also pray for the village not to be targeted by thieves and the like, for fear they would be implicated. It was as he'd expected—Wagner and his men were terrified. This method of associating them with everything was far from reasonable, but when subjected to serious pressure, they had no choice but to comply and make repeated promises. When Innswood Village was quiet and peaceful once again, the villagers thanked Felix while also saying their goodbyes. They'd always known that Felix wouldn't stay here for long, but they didn't expect him to leave so soon.Lincoln, particularly, was crushed. He sat in the clinic silently, a sight Felix found hard to bear."Here," Felix said, handing two books to Lincoln, who took them cautiously."What are these books, Felix?" "Medical books I wrote myself," Felix explained. "If you practice and train following

Wagner and his accomplices were terrified, tremors coursing through their bodies. "No, no, please! I didn't know it was you, Mr. Longstone! Give me one more chance, please!"As one of the most powerful men in the city, Gras was someone who would put his money where his mouth was. He could kill them all, and their families wouldn't even dare to utter a single word."I know your father, so I'll give you a chance," Gras said.Only then did Wagner start recovering from his shock, breathing a sigh of relief. He wondered why Gras would come to such a small village, though.Meanwhile, Gras turned to Felix. "You're Dr. Zeller from Innswood Village, aren't you?""Yes, it's me," Felix replied politely. Gras smiled. "I've looked at Kathlynn's injuries, and I could see that you're as skilled as they say. It so happens that I need an experienced doctor in my residence. Would you be willing to work there?"Wagner was speechless. Now he knew why Gras would make the journey here—he had set his

Felix looked at their expressions that were devoid of shame. He'd figured, long ago, that these people might not abide by the three-month-long agreement. As expected, their real intentions began to bleed out by the beginning of the second month. "What if I refuse to do as you say, then? Kathlynn will have to die alongside Innswood Village and me!"Wagner remained unruffled. "Really? Let's go. I'll show you what will happen if you refuse."They returned to the city, only to learn that Felix had told them the truth, proved by how the other doctors were helpless against the venom flowing in Kathlynn's veins. They'd also ascertained the effectiveness of that medicinal powder, which they were unfortunately incapable of making. If the powder hadn't been applied on Kathlynn's body, the venom would have begun to spread through her body eventually.Wagner had never been subjected to such humiliation, though. When it was time to collect the medicine this month, he took on the task. He'd

One of the old men smiled and brought out a half-palm-sized wooden card. He handed it to Felix. "This is our association's identification card. It's custom-made. You see this small hole? There's a bug inside of it."Felix inspected it carefully and found a small hole. He wasn't sure what the bug did, however."When you're in danger, or when someone forces a body check, just break the card, and it'll turn to dust. At the same time, your closest ally will sense it, and the bug will come out of its hole. It'll find your ally and guide them to you."How magical! Felix was quite impressed. There were no phones here, but they had found ways to send information. "We have some queen bugs on our hands. The queen bugs can sense all of the bugs, and when there's a mission, we'll reach out to you. You can live your own life for now."How amazing! A lot of thought had clearly been put into this."There's also one more situation when the bug might come out. When an ally is within 30 feet, it'
