The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 321
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.

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

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

The phone call had mentioned that Jack's injuries were severe, and Felix had been prepared to rush straight into surgery to save him. Yet, here he was at a ward."Jack!" One look at his friend lying in the hospital bed told Felix everything he needed to know—aside from some surface wounds, Jack was fine enough to recover at home."Nurse, what's going on here?" Felix asked, confused.The nurse smiled, seemingly expecting his question. "Your friend got lucky. A master healer happened to be giving a lecture in our traditional medicine department and rushed over as soon as they heard about the accident."Felix breathed a sigh of relief, glad his best friend was okay. He had been absolutely terrified during the drive over."Do you know what caused the accident?" he asked the nurse.The nurse nodded and explained, "A drunk driver hit your friend's car. The driver died instantly. Only Mr. Graham and one passenger from the other car made it to the hospital with serious injuries."Felix

Bob did not say much. He kept wondering if Felix and Wendy were just being polite. He was absolutely certain he would not be exposed. The waiter would never admit to intentionally causing trouble, and no investigation could possibly reveal anything. He might as well keep things as messy as possible. Less than ten minutes passed before Angie arrived. She did not even greet Felix, immediately rushing to the Azure VIP Room with Ian. Felix remained in the main hall. It was past the lunch rush, so the restaurant was almost empty and quiet. Suddenly, Bob heard Felix's voice say, "I won't be here for more than a few days, so you really didn't need to use these tactics." "Mr. Zeller, were you speaking to me?" "You know exactly what I mean. Don't do this again." Felix was not naive. He could tell from how Bob had been helpful in the main hall but went silent in the private room. Something was definitely fishy. But Felix was totally focused on the Malevolent Phantoms now, and he

Just as Felix turned, the bathroom door opened, and a woman walked out. Seeing how the hem of her dress was wet, it was clearly from washing off spilled wine. "Mr. Zeller?" With just a glance, Felix was instantly wordless. Of all people, it was actually Wendy. "Oh, Wendy. What a coincidence!" Seeing Felix in his professional attire, Wendy was stunned. "What are you doing?" "I'm working as a front desk manager at this restaurant." Hearing this, Wendy remembered Felix was currently running important tasks nationwide. So, this made perfect sense. "Since we know each other, let's just drop this. The waiter didn't mean to cause trouble. There's no need to make such a big deal." Franz had already walked over at that moment. But he was shocked to see Wendy knew the front desk manager and was even addressing him so respectfully. "Got it, Mr. Zeller. Sorry for the trouble." Felix nodded and left. Bob followed, but a bad feeling crept into his mind. How did Felix know Franz's

Sally heard the intercom call, too, and her admiration for Bob reached new heights. Everyone in the restaurant knew that for VIP rooms like the Azure Room, customer complaints could not be handled by a front desk manager. Only the general manager—like Ian—could deal with it—and if he couldn't, Angie herself would have to step in.This was clearly Bob's setup. If not, Felix would not have had to go over. Bob had taken advantage of Felix being new and clueless about the rules.But his guts were something else. He was actually sacrificing one or two waiters just to go up against the boss' daughter. Was this really just about a front desk manager position anymore? In the Azure VIP Room, there were only two people by the massive table. A waiter knelt on the floor, body shaking uncontrollably. Just this scene told Felix the guests were definitely high-profile. "Who are you?"The young man with a powerful presence immediately frowned when he saw Felix."Hello, sir. I'm the front des

In the morning, Felix visited the dental clinic where the two women had their teeth cleaned. He found nobody suspicious there. He had already reviewed the relevant videos. They only had a routine teeth cleaning with barely any interaction. Any hope of finding a lead this way was completely crushed. After leaving, he received a call from Angie and rushed to an incredibly luxurious restaurant. "Felix, how about working as a front desk manager here?" she asked.What should have been a simple job offer now felt like she was tentatively seeking his permission. "Sure. But Ms. Sinclair, I have one condition."Angie smiled and said, "Go ahead.""I have some personal matters to deal with here. So, when I need to leave to handle something, I hope I can get time off normally." Angie thought that was nothing. She glanced at the middle-aged man beside her. "No problem. This is the restaurant's general manager, Ian Goodwin. Just give him a call when you want to leave." Ian immediately

Felix raced to a repair shop in Kashmere. Upon reaching the premises, he quickly jumped the fence and entered. According to Chloe, she had been held captive here. She had barely managed to grab a phone and call for help. No one could possibly be interested in her smell, so Felix genuinely hoped the Malevolent Phantom would show up.The moment he entered the yard, all the lights blazed on, turning the place as bright as day. "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry!"Chloe emerged, looking disheveled. Reeco—the man from the barbecue stand—was grabbing her hair. About 20 other guys surrounded Felix with weapons in hand, wearing menacing grins. "Did you think I'd have to visit you myself? Look at you, walking right into our trap!" Felix was utterly disappointed. He'd completely forgotten about these insignificant men, and now, they had wasted his time. "I'm here. Let her go."Surprisingly, Reeco shoved Chloe to the ground and waved his hand. "Get him!" The first man charged with a massiv

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

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
