The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 300
Elliott's mentor sighed helplessly. "I can only tell you that this concerns a major figure whom Gerald once saved. To be blunt, if we refused to concede and insisted on a showdown with Gerald's disciple, it would anger him greatly. "And if that happens, our research funding would likely be slashed by at least half. Is that really what you want?"Stunned, Elliott fell silent. Losing half of their funding would be catastrophic and was practically a death sentence for their lab—a burden no one could bear."Is Gerald really that extraordinary? I just can't believe traditional medicine could be that powerful," Elliott muttered.Patting him on the shoulder, the mentor said, "To be honest, I, along with most others, opposed this so-called competition. We've seen firsthand the incredible strength of Dragonia's traditional medicine. It's truly like battling death itself. However, some people just refuse to believe it."Well, don't dwell on it. The people of Dragonia prefer to keep a low p

"Bullshit! It only took a minute! Are you seriously done? Say one more word, I dare you!" Elliott shouted.Just as Elliott said that, his mentor loaded the patient onto the truck. "Start examining him immediately!" he directed.When the examination was done, Elliott stood in place, stunned, as he stared at the test reports. He was feeling an overwhelming wave of emotion.The patient they brought from the Guneria, who was in the early stages of lung cancer, was completely cured."Elliott, do you believe in the wonders of traditional medicine now?" his mentor asked.Elliott gave his mentor a complicated look."But… How is this even possible? A person with early-stage cancer was healed in a minute! What's the point of spending years and huge amounts of money on the drugs we've been developing?"The mentor chuckled. "Every field needs pioneers, doesn't it? Dragonia has a 5,000-year-old history. Keep working hard, and we can create miracles of our own, too."For the rest of his life

Lying flat on the bed, Felix responded, "Does it really matter?"Yvonne was at a loss for words, unsure how to answer. Without specific instructions from Nala, she didn't dare speak further."Rest well. I will take my leave," she said softly.As she reached the door, Felix's voice followed. "Soon, I'll have my answer. When the time comes, I want to hear what you truly feel in your heart."Yvonne gripped the door handle tightly and left him with a final parting remark before closing the door. "I hope you find happiness in your life. As for my answer—you'll never get it."Without dwelling on it, Felix picked up his phone and saw a missed call from an unknown number. He immediately dialed back, only to discover it was a disconnected line.Just a few seconds later, another call from a different number came in. He picked up, and he heard Gerald's voice."You little brat. You're not even picking up your mentor's calls now?" Gerald chided.Felix sighed, exasperated. Older people alway

Nala gazed at Yale with an unreadable expression. She reminded, "Remember what I said before? There's a one-month trial period. Mr. Jones, are you perhaps being a bit too impatient?"A hint of displeasure flashed across Yale's face, and he responded in a low voice, "A month is too long. Those people abroad have already agreed. Why insist on waiting another day or two? Besides, I am now the Dragon Lord; there's no need to pretend it was otherwise."A subtle smile appeared at the corner of Nala's lips as she waved her hand dismissively."But are you truly secured in your title as Dragon Lord? Leave now. I said one month, and one month it will be. No one can change my decision."Yale clenched and unclenched his fists, but he ultimately left without saying another word.…The next morning, Felix returned to Avesburgh and went straight to Xena's home. After all, there was nothing more pressing on his agenda.When he knocked on the door, Xena opened it with an expressionless face."C

Curtis stood up and stretched before saying, "I've only recently recovered, and some of my friends keep inviting me out, so I'm heading out. Xena personally made lunch today, so stay and eat, Felix.""Alright," Felix agreed.The moment Curtis left, Xena shot an annoyed glare at Felix."Don't think that just because my grandfather said we're in a relationship, you can ask me to do anything," she spat out.Felix spread his hands nonchalantly. "Relax. I'm not interested in you. I just need to get through this month.""You!"Xena's body trembled with anger. She was the dream girl of countless men, and yet here Felix was, saying he had no interest. It felt like an insult."Are you eating or not? If not, you can leave," Xena said.With a wave of his hand, Felix turned to leave. He wasn't about to waste his energy interacting with Xena. Since they both disliked each other, he figured that for the next month, he would just put up with it for Curtis' sake.Although the engagement wasn'

"I'm going to die?" the young man asked, stunned. He knew how healthy his body was. How could he be about to die?"You don't believe me? Let me show you some proof," Felix said calmly.With that, he extended his other hand toward one side of the alley, releasing a powerful suction force from his palm. This was an advanced use of Primordial Energy, something only those at the Martial Emperor level could control with such ease.The next moment, as the young man watched in disbelief, a figure was pulled through the air toward them. Judging by the expression on the man's face, it was clear he hadn't expected to be pulled out from his hiding spot."You weren't just recording for fun, right?" Felix asked.The middle-aged man who hurtled toward them was shocked, but his eyes kept darting back and forth as if calculating his next move."W-what do you want? What did you do to me? Let me go!" the man shouted.Felix gave a cold chuckle and released him. Initially, he thought the man had si

"What happened?" Xena asked.After thinking it over, Felix had decided to call Xena to handle the situation. He couldn't be bothered, and he didn't bother to treat Lennox either."Your cousin showed up out of nowhere and attacked me. I had no choice but to knock him out," Felix explained.Xena clearly didn't believe him and said, "Impossible! He's the only son of my third uncle. Just like my uncle, he is honest and straightforward. He would never attack someone without reason."Damn it! Felix was displeased that Xena didn't believe him."Oh really? Honest and straightforward, is he? I don't know about that, but he seems to be a martial arts fanatic. Am I wrong?" Felix retorted.Xena went silent. Indeed, Lennox had dreamed of practicing martial arts ever since he was young, but her uncle never allowed it. Otherwise, she would have asked him to join Phoenix Legion long ago."What about him?" Xena asked."From the moment Lennox arrived, he had been hiding behind the alley and taki

Xena stood frozen in place. Xander's words repeated in her mind. It was exactly the same as what Felix had warned her earlier."What's wrong?" Xander asked.It wasn't until Xander spoke again that she snapped back to reality, realizing now wasn't the time to dwell on those thoughts."So… Can you cure my cousin?" Xena asked hesitantly.Xander nodded. "Yes! The poison in his body is strong. It will only be triggered by physical impact. But once it is identified, treating it is quite straightforward."Suddenly, a thought struck Xena. "Wait a second. You said his body can't handle any impact, but he was knocked unconscious by someone!"A strange look crossed Xander's face. He sighed helplessly. "You're a skilled martial artist yourself. Do you really think it always takes force to knock out an ordinary person? Just a touch to the right pressure point would have been enough."Xena fell silent as she watched Xander begin the treatment, but her mind drifted back to Felix. Why had he sa

The Webster family of Notura City was not just wealthy—they were power players. But Eunice had only mentioned the part that would pique Felix's interest. In reality, the family's hotel empire was just a fraction of their vast business holdings, which spoke volumes about their status in Notura City.At around 2:40 pm, in the sprawling front courtyard of a massive estate, Eunice stood waiting alongside another young woman as a car was sent to pick up Felix."Eunice, I really appreciate this." The girl beside Eunice had delicate features and gave off a quiet, reserved air. She wore a sporty, casual outfit, her twin ponytails making her look even younger than she was. She was Donna Webster, a direct descendant of the Webster family and the most beloved granddaughter of Albert Webster himself.Eunice replied, "Donna, don't even mention it. Honestly, I just got lucky. Otherwise, I never would've met someone this extraordinary."Donna had already heard stories about Felix's miraculous

"Malevolent Phantoms!" That was Felix's first thought. What these two women were saying and what they were about to do were all too similar to how Malevolent Phantoms operated.He wondered if the surveillance cameras outside had already been taken out. Then again, that did not quite fit the Malevolent Phantoms' style, though. Besides, it was too reckless just for a meal—there was no real reason for them to take such a risk.Eventually, Felix replied, "Sorry. I'm allergic to oysters."The two women exchanged glances before one of them casually reached for her purse. She pulled out a thick stack of cash, looking to be about 10,000 dollars."Then, eat it. If you actually have an allergic reaction, this money is yours—take it and get out."Felix was surprised, unsure what to make of this. Trying to refuse any longer would only seem suspicious, so he picked up an oyster and swallowed it.Within a minute, red spots began appearing on his neck, and he instinctively reached up to scrat

Felix went back to work. There were plenty of late-night diners, and even though Yadiel's men were already stationed across the city, nothing beat sheer luck when it came to running into the right target.The A-tier Malevolent Phantoms in Notura City had already killed dozens of people. If they were not taken out soon, they would become a massive problem.…When Felix arrived at a seafood restaurant for a pickup, the staff reminded him, "Take it easy on the ride. This order's not cheap.""What's the address?" he asked.As he turned to leave, he overheard the servers murmuring behind him. "This customer is so weird. We have our own delivery staff, but they insisted on using an outside service instead."Nonetheless, Felix did not care about those. Soon, he reached a five-star hotel and set the order down at the front desk, planning to take a quick glance around before heading out. Just then, the receptionist called out to him."Hey, the guest in Room 1002 specifically requested th

Ever since Felix learned that the Ancient Sage was actually Gerald's half-brother, he had been feeling conflicted. Yet, for some reason, he could not bring himself to ask Gerald about it—not because he was afraid, but because something inside him hesitated. Now, hearing that Averill also knew about it, he immediately perked up. At least he was not alone in this anymore. He urged, "Averill, hurry up and tell me."Averill flashed a sweet smile. "Aren't we Mr. Hoffman's family? I don't see why you're getting so worked up."Felix was instantly disappointed. But as much as that answer frustrated him, he could not deny the truth in it. Hence, he simply muttered, "Yeah… We are his family."Still, if they were family, then why had Gerald placed seals on all nine of his senior apprentices? What was the reason behind it?"Alright! Enough of small talk," Averill said, stretching lazily. "Eat up, and after dinner, I'm coming over to your place. I've got skills to show off."Felix sighed

For some reason, Felix picked up on something odd in Xena's tone—something subtle yet hard to ignore. He could not quite put his finger on it, but he also did not care enough to figure it out.…Meanwhile, in the penthouse office of a high-rise in Notura City, Eunice was staring at her computer screen when a young man suddenly stormed in, his face filled with anger."Horace? What's wrong?" she asked, surprised by his outburst.Horace Sawyer stopped in his tracks, but his expression only grew darker. "Tell me. What did you say to me back then? You swore that for the next three years, you wouldn't consider marriage, and if you did, I'd be the first in line."Eunice frowned. "That's right. Why bring it up now?"The man standing before her was, in fact, her fiancé—or at least, the man her family had arranged for her to marry. Given that both their families were of equal standing, it had never been a forced engagement but rather a logical alliance. She had made that promise at the tim

Two hours later, Felix was officially working for a local food delivery company in Notura City. The restaurant called out, "Delivery order number 19, ready for pickup."Since the city was famous for its unique cuisine, the local delivery services were far more dominant than Uber Eats or any national competitors, making it an easy choice."Alright. Thank you." Grabbing the takeout order, Felix packed it into the insulated carrier and hopped onto his electric scooter. Thanks to Yadiel pulling some strings, his account was set up so that he would only receive orders going to hotels and motels—everything else was blocked.Wearing his helmet and riding through the streets, Felix felt an unusual sense of peace. Ever since he had left the mountain, he had been constantly on the move, but now, blending into ordinary life like this felt strangely refreshing.He mumbled, "I wonder how that fatso is doing in Martial City, looking for the Phaeron Codex."Felix did not believe for a second t

"No need, Mr. Zeller. Since Ms. Jamison sent me here, your business is my business," Yadiel said smoothly.Felix frowned. "I wasn't asking you. Give me your account number.""Son of a—" Yadiel silently cursed, biting back his irritation. His patience had limits, but he decided it was not worth the argument. With a sigh, he rattled off the numbers.Felix tapped away on his phone, and a moment later, Yadiel's own device buzzed. He glanced at the screen and saw a deposit notification—five million dollars."Mr. Zeller, what's this for?" he asked.Felix answered casually, "That G-Wagon parked in the alley is yours, right? Five million dollars should be more than enough to upgrade to a G63. Go get yourself a new one."Yadiel was not entirely sure what Felix was playing at, but he had to admit that this level of generosity did make him feel a little better. Now that was more like it. Eunice didn't have total leverage over him, after all. Business should be a two-way street—that was ju

Draco saw his opportunity and jumped at it, eagerly pointing at Felix. He said, "Mr. Doyle! I happened to find out that this punk offended you, so I took the liberty of capturing him and waiting for your orders."Eddy stood there in complete shock, his confidence crumbling into dust. He had assumed Felix's bold spending and unwavering composure meant he had powerful backing, but if he had pissed off Yadiel, then no one could save him now."Shit! Please don't drag me down with you," he silently prayed.Yadiel's expression twitched with something unreadable as he stepped closer to Draco. He growled, "So, what you're saying is… I should be thanking you?"Draco's spine nearly folded in half as he bowed even lower. "Oh, no, Mr. Doyle, not at all! It's my honor to be of service to you."Yadiel had half a mind to slap him, but even that felt like a waste of effort. Instead, he asked Felix, "Mr. Zeller, how would you like to handle this?"Of course, Yadiel had been sent by Eunice. Otherw

Suzie felt like crying but had no tears left. She was terrified of completely disappointing Felix. She had just been pulled out of one hellhole, only to walk straight into another. How was that any different from being a complete idiot?Draco had not even bothered to gag her, which meant he did not care if she told the truth. This was his territory—his word was the only one that mattered.Felix barely glanced at the contract before saying, "So, you really think I'm just some rich fool, huh? Too bad—if you had just taken your winnings and enjoyed yourself, you could've made a solid profit, but instead, you just had to push me into handling this another way."Draco's smile disappeared. "Listen, kid! If you had real connections, you would've used them by now, and as for throwing away half a million dollars? My patience isn't unlimited—either you put down two million dollars and walk out of here with Suzie, or you get lost. "From now on, I will decide her future. Pick one."Felix sho
