The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 320
"I've paid back Dora's favor, so I'll now settle accounts with the Longman family," Felix suddenly said.The celebration died instantly at Felix's words. "Felix, what are you doing?" Dora was confused. Franklin stood there sweating as well. "Nothing much. I don't start fights, but I finish them. Joseph, someone from your family has been orchestrating schemes against me. They hired thugs to harass me while others filmed from the shadows. Do you want to handle this yourself, or should I start digging? It's up to you." In the past, anyone who dared talk to Joseph like this would have been crushed. But things were different now. After all, Felix had just casually treated an illness that had stumped Xander. His connections and power had to be terrifying. Even a hardened player like Joseph knew when to back down. "Mr. Zeller, give me some time to deal with this. If someone from my family has schemed against you, I'll send them over to you myself." Felix smiled slightly. Joseph had

Around six in the evening, Felix was sitting in his courtyard when Kane walked in. "What brings you here?" Felix asked.Kane's expression showed the same respect as always. Just like Vivian, Felix was the only Dragon Lord in his eyes and no one else. "Mr. Zeller, since you finally gave me a task, I had to report back personally." That was true. After Vivian left, Kane was Felix's go-to person for intel. But he had not expected Kane to show up in person. "I appreciate it. Have a seat." Once he sat down, Kane got straight to it. "You told me to look into that guy Jaden. Turns out he's quite the player. He's the youngest elder in Crimson Sage Sect's history. His mentor is one of their sect's Supreme Elders too, and he's actually the oldest and strongest amongst them." Crimson Sage Sect? Felix was unfazed. "So he's got an ancient mentor backing him. That'll be a bit of a hassle." By hassle, Felix meant time-wasting instead of fear. Even Kane could read that much. "How do you rat

Vanessa's expression lit up when she saw Felix. "You came at the right time, Felix! My car broke down. I just got off the phone with Jack when you showed up." Her car broke down? Felix then asked, "Are you heading back to Canraville?" "Yeah, it's my nephew's birthday tonight. What about you?" "I'm driving there too." In typical Vanessa fashion, she did not hesitate to ask for his help. "Perfect! Why don't you give me a ride? I'll tell Jack to send someone for the car. It'll save me a ton of time." "Sure." On the road, Vanessa kept studying Felix till he got uncomfortable. "Is there something on my face?" She shook her head and turned serious. "Do you know how precious that martial arts scripture you gave me is?" Felix smiled. "It doesn't matter. It's fine as long as you like it." Vanessa continued, "So you did spot that I'm a martial artist. That's impressive. It's wild that a regular guy like Jack has someone like you for a friend. "But honestly, thank you. That

Something felt off at this point. Before Felix could speak, all hell broke loose. Boom!All four doors of the Raptor exploded outward, with windows shattering everywhere. Baldo went flying through the windshield to somewhere about 50 feet away. Only then did he manage to land steadily. Even with blood trickling from his mouth, he wore a sinister grin. "Haha! It seems you're both a master healer and a martial artist, just like the miracle doctor." Felix stepped out, studying Baldo. That hit was not weak, yet Baldo only had minor injuries. He had to be a Martial Emperor, at least. "Did you use a Miracle Card just to try and kill Mr. Hoffman? I'm impressed by your audacity and your stupidity," Felix sneered.Baldo licked the blood from his lips as his grin widened. "Nope! Who'd dare target the miracle doctor? You're his disciple, so we knew you'd come instead. Get it?" Oh? Felix's eyes showed contempt. "But you're not in my league either." A breeze whispered through, and sud

"Nice talk. Let's see if you can walk away alive today!" Vilebane snarled.The one who could strike first would certainly gain the upper hand. Having sensed Vilebane's power, Felix was not about to wait around. He thrust both hands skyward as his energy surged. The clear sky instantly darkened with storm clouds.The sight of that astounded Baldo, who was hiding in a nearby building. "Damn! He must've started training in the womb. Just his opening move could kill me ten thousand times over!" Boom!Thunder rolled as five massive lightning bolts crashed down, each thick as pillars. It was a terrifying scene to behold. "Five Thunders Strike!" This was Felix's strongest move. Before this, no one had warranted using it until he met Vilebane. The thunderous impacts carved a massive crater in the ground. "Not bad, kid!" To Felix's horror, Vilebane's voice cut through the chaos. Felix instinctively leaped back. Vilebane appeared before him almost immediately with his fist stuck out.
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 325
In Dragonia, martial arts had ancient roots. The modern ranking was simple. Anyone below a Martial King was just called a martial artist. Only those who were Martial Kings or above would be respected in those circles.Above Martial King were levels most could only dream of. For example, there was a Martial Emperor, a Martial God, and a Martial Saint. Felix was now a martial artist who had achieved the level of a Martial Saint. Most old-timers died without being able to reach that level. To achieve it so young, Felix had to be even better than a prodigy to make it possible. So Baldo became utterly excited watching Felix drag himself from the rubble. As he was just a Martial Emperor, the chance to rough up a Martial Saint, who was also a genius, had him shaking with excitement. "I'll take my time with you!" Baldo moved in as he switched from fist to palm. First, he wanted to slap Felix, as nothing could be more disrespectful than that. "Know your place!" Felix roared. As his foo

Just then, the flute's melody shifted dramatically, causing Vilebane to turn pale with shock as he felt an invisible force slam into his body. When Felix looked over, he found Vilebane collapsed on the ground, his limbs twisted in hideous angles that barely resembled anything human anymore.Terror filled the dying man's eyes as he struggled to form his last words. "W-Why are you here? Why…" With Vilebane's last breath, Felix felt his own strength giving out. Just as he was about to fall backward, he noticed a sweet, floral scent filling the air, and someone caught him. "Well done, Felix," Karina said.Looking up at the breathtaking beauty before him, Felix managed a weak smile before losing consciousness. This was Karina, ranked third among the senior apprentices in terms of power. While he had always known about her abilities, this was his first time witnessing her in action, and it was absolutely mind-blowing. Vilebane, who had nearly killed Felix, did not even make
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 327
To be honest, Felix had always seen the nine senior apprentices as potential partners, but he was also a man of principles. Even now, with temptation at its peak, he held firm to his values. Karina's purple dress had fallen, and she stood there only in her undergarments. She was the definition of perfection, with curves in all the right places and a face that could mesmerize any man who laid eyes on it. Nonetheless, Felix held himself back, resisting the urge to pull her onto the bed. He stuttered, "Karina, I-I haven't resolved my engagement situation yet."Karina's slight blush only made her more alluring. "But I can't just use words when I ask someone for help. I have nothing else to offer, so I can only offer myself. Don't worry, we don't have to tell anyone."Could he really? If it were that simple, he would have made a move on Averill long ago. He replied, "That's not necessary, Karina. I'd move heaven and earth to help you anyway!"Karina slipped her dress back on with

Felix nodded and said, "Exactly. Let's investigate quickly." Because of the Malevolent Phantoms, headquarters' main focus was now cases related to them. Regular cases were handed over to law enforcement so personnel could be mobilized incredibly fast. After leaving the scene, Felix went home to wait for the results. At sunset, Marley arrived. "You were right, Mr. Zeller. The young woman with the lingering fragrance definitely had body odor before her death." Felix got excited, reviewing the materials while asking, "Did you guys figure out why they were at the abandoned building?" That was the first crime scene, and Felix was sure of it. The fact that these people would go to such a remote location seemed suspicious. "Yes, we did. They would occasionally record videos about paranormal stuff. They go to scary places, then post online to gain attention and make some extra cash. "They had finished filming at the abandoned building and were probably preparing to leave when the
Chapter 1199
It had only been one day since the A-tier Malevolent Phantom had last attacked. Was it losing its mind?Felix's face darkened. He didn't say a word. He just stood up and hung up the phone. "Sorry. I've got an urgent matter to handle." Normally, Angie would have thought this was incredibly rude. He had come asking for a favor, yet he was leaving so abruptly. But after what just happened, everything had changed. "Lindsay, did you really not know Dreamscape is Felix's cousin?" Lindsay gave a bitter smile. "Do I look like I know? Even if I did, I'm not the type to go begging for help." Her frustrated smile just deepened Angie's confusion. "Wow, you've just thrown me a major curveball! Felix has a connection like that, and I'm trying to find him a job? It's like teaching a professional chef how to boil water." But Lindsay saw things differently. "Angie, I can't say I know Felix super well. But from our school days and our recent encounters, I can vouch for his character. "The f

Chad and Lindsay were absolutely sure that it was Dreamscape's voice. Felix asked, "Hey, do you know Lindsay?" "Yeah, she's quite good at singing. Her technique is solid, and she nails the emotional delivery. She's got a bright future ahead."Lindsay immediately covered her mouth and cried. If her comment was posted online, it would instantly boost her market value by tenfold or even hundredfold. After all, it was something Dreamscape had said. "So, here's the thing. Lindsay's my old friend, and her real dream is acting. I was wondering if you could help introduce her and help her make that dream happen." Chad was excited. Dreamscape might be just a singer, but her status in the entertainment world was unparalleled. Even a casual comment from her carried massive weight. "Sure, I'll send you my manager's number. Have Lindsay contact him. I'll put in a good word, but tell her not to forget her main gig—she really can sing." "Got it! Thanks, then. Bye!" After hanging up, th

Everyone looked at Felix, their eyes showing different reactions. "Felix, thanks for your good intentions. But sometimes, we just can't make things go the way we want them to." Lindsay quickly tried to smooth things over, knowing Felix meant well. But sometimes, well-meaning lies just would not cut it. Yet, Felix spoke again, "I know someone who can probably solve your current crisis. So, you really don't need to do something you don't want to do." Chad could not hold back anymore. He wondered what kind of friend Felix was to talk big so casually. "Listen up, you brat! The worst thing you can learn in life is bragging. For every lie you tell, you'll need a hundred to cover it up. Got it? "Stop giving Lindsay false hope. You're just making things worse." Angie frowned, too. Though she knew Felix meant well, how could this possibly help? "I wonder if Dreamscape could solve your problem." Dreamscape? The two who were about to leave turned back, their eyes filled with dis

Angie did not show any look of disdain to Felix, and she seemed like a nice woman. Felix replied, "You're right, Ms. Sinclair. I'll remember that." Just then, Lindsay arrived, and the atmosphere immediately became more lively. "Hey, one's my high school friend, and the other is my college friend. What a rare moment! Cheers!" After a while, Angie asked, "Lindsay, how's your entertainment career going?" Lindsay pouted. "Not great. Without a big-shot mentor as a middleman, breaking into two fields is tough. You know how it is." Angie looked sympathetic and helpless, sighing. "I can't really help with that. My dad might know some people in entertainment, but your fame is actually bigger than mine." Hearing this, Felix asked, "So, you want to do movies and TV?" Lindsay nodded. "Yeah, that's actually my dream. How fulfilling would that be to make a few films with great reviews? They might be remembered for hundreds of years! "Music's okay, but it's just sounds without a face.

Felix asked, "Is your boss a Malevolent Phantom?" Hearing this, Reeco sneered. "Are you regretting what you've done? Too bad now. It won't help. But if you kneel and knock your head on the ground a few times, I might consider letting you go." A crisp sound rang out. Both young men collapsed to the ground while clutching one of their arms in pain, which was clearly broken. "Go ahead and send that Malevolent Phantom after me." Felix had figured it out. Whatever Malevolent Phantom they were talking about was probably just somebody's nickname. No actual Malevolent Phantom would be this brazen. Those Phantoms knew exactly how officials referred to them ever since they existed on this planet. Acting like this would be suicide. …The next day, Felix received a call from Marley at 10:00 am. "Mr. Zeller, the supplementary investigation is complete."Felix immediately perked up. This could determine the entire investigation's direction. "Were any of the dead victims known to have

Felix said, "Maybe you should check out this video." Chloe was scared at first and was ready to scream for her friends. But when she saw her friends in the video, curiosity got the best of her, and she kept watching. As those nasty comments hit her ears, she saw the pure disgust in their eyes. Finally, she broke down. "You never really know people. It's best to just walk away from these young men." Chloe fought back tears as she glanced at the two young men, who were still chatting away. She muttered a quick thanks before heading in the opposite direction. Felix followed her and said, "I'm a traditional medicine practitioner. I can cure your body odor." What? Chloe looked totally shocked. As someone dealing with body odor, she knew how impossible it was to treat the condition. But her guard went up instantly. "I don't even know you. Stop following me." She knew better than to believe in free services from strangers. Even though Felix had just helped her, who knew what h
Chapter 1193
Felix's nose picked up that nasty smell. Even with all that perfume, the stink was impossible to miss. He zeroed in on a good-looking woman in her 20s, who was sitting with two guys and chowing down on barbecue. She looked like she was part of the group, but her eyes gave away her total lack of confidence. He snapped a quick photo and turned to Lindsay, who was already enjoying a fresh plate of barbecue. "You probably shouldn't eat too much. Aren't you afraid of putting on weight?" Lindsay just let out a devilish chuckle. "I'm one of those lucky people who never gain weight. My manager's just worried I'll wreck my voice. Most singers won't touch spicy food, and some won't even eat anything crunchy. "They're scared of some freak accident, but I couldn't care less." After Felix ordered some food, Lindsay finally felt satisfied with all the food she had. "I'm not going to let you buy me dinner for free. Come have lunch with me tomorrow. I've got a college buddy in Kashmere. She'
Chapter 1192
After Marley finished her call, Felix asked, "Had the victim only visited one dental clinic?" "Yes, throughout the two years she lived in Kashmere, her medical records show only this single dental clinic." She had only gone for a teeth cleaning. Felix continued reviewing the file but found no other suspicious details. Was this really connected to body odor? Even he was becoming uncertain. Felix remembered an incident from his past when he was accompanying Gerald to a village. They had found an elderly person recently deceased. He was lying on a mat in the yard while emanating a peculiar fragrance. Gerald had commented that the human body was mysterious, with some unexplainable phenomena. Could this woman's death be categorized the same way? Felix left the headquarters. Wandering aimlessly through the streets, his mind was a tangled mess. If every supernatural killing case proceeded like this, investigation would be incredibly challenging. Eventually, the smell of barbecue
