Vanessa's eyes narrowed as she shot Robert an icy glare. "Robert, didn't I specifically warn you about looking down on Jack and his friend? What's your problem?"Given their years of friendship, Robert was not particularly bothered by Vanessa's confrontation. However, Felix's actions had thoroughly infuriated him.Robert replied, "I'm just giving them a reality check. Nessa, you know how I am. But Felix, calling me out like this in front of everyone, is crossing a line. Do you think getting some fancy delivery service makes you better than me? The waters in Canraville run deeper than you can imagine!" Instead of apologizing, Robert became even more hostile. Vanessa was furious, but before she could speak, Felix held up his hand to stop her."That's not the point here; the main issue is that a real man keeps his word about making an apology," Felix stated calmly.He was already acting considerate for Vanessa's sake, but if Robert insisted on being disrespectful, he had other ways

"Felix! Are you out of your mind? You're seriously not planning to go?" Vanessa's voice was filled with disbelief."Nope," he replied simply. His brief response sent chills down everyone's spine, as only someone completely clueless would say something like that."You have to go. Those VIP seats at Dreamscape's concert are incredibly rare," Vanessa insisted with absolute seriousness. "I can personally guarantee that if you don't show up, every Dreamscape fan in Dragonia will make your life a living hell."Felix looked up at Vanessa, and upon seeing her dead serious expression, he could only nod in resignation. "Fine, I'll go."At that moment, Robert approached them with an awkward smile plastered on his face. "Um, Mr. Zeller, I was wrong earlier. I'm really sorry. I hope you'll forgive me, for Nessa's sake at least."The contents of that box completely humbled Robert. He knew the consequences would be severe if he did not apologize now.When Felix remained silent, Robert quickly a

Wendy was taken aback and exclaimed, "Grave relocation?" The topic seemed completely disconnected from their previous conversation, and she could not help saying, "Mr. Zeller, I… I don't quite understand."Felix knew he needed to explain, though he kept it brief. "I need Mr. Laird to relocate his family grave. It might seem like an unreasonable request, but it has to be done. Could you ask your father if he can help make this happen?"Given everything Felix had done for her family, Wendy could not refuse to try at least. "Of course, let me make a quick call."This unusual request stemmed from Felix detecting one of the ancient dragon's spine fragments in the area. Since his meridians had evolved and the dragon scale had fully bonded with him, he could sense all nine spine fragments of the ancient dragon within a certain range.According to Gerald, most fragments were marked on the map he provided. However, there was always the possibility that some had been discovered by chance o

Larry took a seat and gestured to the manager, instructing firmly, "No one enters without my permission."Once the door closed, Felix said, "I assume you've figured things out, Mr. Laird?"Larry nodded. "I'd be a fool not to. When I see you dining with Wendy right after Vincent's call, it's not hard to connect the dots." His gesture with the expensive drinks was clearly an attempt to smooth things over after rejecting Vincent's request. It was obvious that Larry was a real people-pleaser. Felix said, "Alright. Let's just get straight to the point. I need you to relocate that grave. I only need access to the back garden for a week, and after that, you can do whatever you want with it."Larry seemed troubled. "Mr. Zeller, seeing how Wendy respects you, I know you're no ordinary person. But that grave means a lot to me, and there's a precious family heirloom buried beneath it. I simply can't agree to this."Larry assumed Felix had somehow learned about the family heirloom and wa

Felix's expression shifted slightly when Xena's name was mentioned. Of all the possibilities he considered, Xena was not among them.Mistaking Felix's reaction for hesitation, Larry decided to lay all his cards on the table. "I'm not just talking about a quick meal, Mr. Zeller. I want to give her a grand reception—if you understand what I mean."Larry's motivation made sense. He was devoted to his restaurant business, and what better way to gain instant recognition than hosting a celebrity of Xena's caliber? With proper publicity, success would be inevitable."Let me guess—you also want to take photos with her and display them in your restaurant?" Felix asked wryly.Larry shifted uncomfortably. "Come now, Mr. Zeller, I know my boundaries. Lady Summers isn't some regular celebrity, so photos are obviously out of the question."The mention of Xena made Felix contemplate the situation carefully. He considered potential alternatives but realized even someone like Vivian, the current

Since Felix had been dragged into the Phantom Poison incident because of her, Xena felt somewhat guilty. Thus, she agreed to the talk. "Alright."As they walked out, Jaden seethed with frustration. If not for his promise to Zara, he would have confronted Felix already."Felix, I'm going to win Xena over before she becomes Warlady," he muttered. "If you're smart, you'll back off now. Zara can't protect you forever."While walking through the neighborhood, Felix decided to skip the small talk. "Have you heard of Yardley Dining?""No, I haven't." Xena shook her head.However, her heart unexpectedly raced, and she could not explain why. Was Felix really planning to pursue her? "I need a favor from Mr. Larry Laird of Yardley Dining," Felix explained. "His condition is having you dine at his restaurant—a very formal, special dinner."Hearing that he was asking for a favor, Xena's excitement instantly deflated. "Absolutely not! I'm about to become a Warlady. Do you expect me to be a p
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 347
Jaden's sudden proposal caught Xena completely off guard. In all honesty, the man kneeling before her checked all the boxes of her ideal partner—handsome, kind, accomplished, and backed by the prestigious Crimson Sage Sect. Sadly, the timing was not right. Xena explained gently, "Jaden, you know my grandpa asked me to date Felix for a month. There's still about two weeks left. I hope you understand."Jaden stood up, looking somewhat embarrassed. "I'm sorry. I completely forgot about that."The euphoria from his breakthrough had made him impulsive, momentarily forgetting about Felix, whom he considered insignificant. Nonetheless, he noticed the look in Xena's eyes and felt he still had a chance, especially considering Xena's promotion to Warlady would happen much later. Shortly after Jaden left, the doorbell rang. Xena was a little annoyed, wondering how everyone seemed to know her whereabouts so easily. Then again, it could be Felix.But as soon as she saw who it was, she went

Leia continued, "The second way is to do him a favor. The only opportunity we know of is through his chronically ill sister. But this won't be easy—Alistair once used his greatest war achievement to convince Lord Hector to summon Silas for her, but even Silas couldn't help."Xena's expression fell. If Dragonia's second-ranked healer, Silas, could not help, what hope was there? Any leader knew the invaluable worth of having a capable commander. Hence, earning Alistair's genuine respect was crucial to securing her position as a Warlady."Leia, did you come here just to discourage me?" Xena asked with a bitter smile. "Both options are impossible for me."If Silas could not help, what could she do? Even if she did become Warlady, getting Silas' attention was not guaranteed. And as for the top-ranked healer, that was even less likely. Leia replied, "Don't you know any master healers? Dragonia's history spans centuries. The current top-ten-ranked healers are just those who seek the

Ben was quite an interesting character. Felix felt amused. "Really? Then, I'll just kill all of you and run. Thank you for your kind reminder!"Huh? For a second, Ben was caught off guard, and he was at a loss for words. After all, who wanted to die? He definitely didn't. The issue was the two strongest men he had were killed in seconds. Who else could stop Felix from killing them all? Gulping, Ben forced a smile and chuckled. "Kid, we're all trying to make money here. I merely misspoke earlier. Fifteenth Overlord treasures talent the most! And with your skills, he definitely won't fight you when he comes."Felix smiled. "Really? Then, what about the people I've injured?""No, no, don't worry about them. They're not as skilled as you, and it's only right for them to have such an end." After some thought, Felix nodded. "Alright. Since you said so, I'll wait for Fifteenth Overlord to come."A few minutes later, a man rushed in, shouting, "Mr. Hitchcock! Mr. Murray is here to
Chapter 1245
Felix knew Trevor wasn't lying, which surprised him even more. Fifteenth Overlord was nothing more than just a gang boss, yet even Cairo didn't dare to attack him? That had to be a joke.Felix's curiosity was bursting at the seams. When they finally reached the hall, he noticed the whole street was full of two-story buildings. The exterior walls were all painted the same color—uniform and stoic. They entered through a corner entrance, walking straight into a large courtyard. "Mr. Hitchcock, please! I was wrong! I'll never do it again! Please give me another chance!" A man was kneeling in the yard, covered in blood and begging for mercy. Soon, he was hit on the head, and he fell to the ground. Ten men were standing around the collapsed man, and they all turned to look at Felix in unison. The only man unfazed was a bearded middle-aged man with a cup of coffee in his hands. He sat on the side, sipping almost happily and seemingly enjoying the scene."Mr. Hitchcock!" Trevor exc

The burly man sneered. "We're just following orders. You'd better follow us. Otherwise, you know the consequences."Just as the burly man finished speaking, Felix waved his phone around. "You all should leave quickly. I've already called the police. I checked, and the nearest police station is only 1.8 miles away from here!"Both Lars and Yolanda were stunned—even the burly man was dumbfounded. He had never encountered this before. Everyone knew who Fifteenth Overlord was, yet Felix still dared to call the police?"Fuck! I'll remember you! You'd better visit Fifteenth Overlord, Yolanda. Otherwise, you'll be in even more trouble." The burly man scowled before turning around to his men. "Let's go!"The MPVs left as quickly as they came. When Felix turned to Lars and Yolanda, they both looked ashen. He asked in confusion, "What happened? Why are you guys so pale? They left, didn't they?" Lars smiled bitterly. "It's okay. You just came back. You don't know how terrifying Fifteent

Lars slammed on the brakes, and the car squealed to a stop. He turned to look at Felix in disbelief. "H-How much did you say?"Felix looked startled and blurted, "My dad said as long as it's not more than ten billion dollars, I can do whatever I want."Lars quickly sucked in a breath of cold air excitedly, turning to look at Yolanda. On the other hand, she was quite composed."Is your family really that rich now, Felix?"She really couldn't believe that her former classmate could be this rich. Yolanda's family had started their business back when she was in elementary school, and it took decades of development to reach this level. It wasn't that she looked down on him, but Felix's words were too unbelievable.If his father dared throw the requirements of less than ten billion dollars to do whatever he wanted, that meant that Felix's family had at least tens of billions of dollars in assets. Otherwise, who would dare do this?It wasn't just an exaggeration. It was simply outrage

After phoning in the dead body, Felix left. He didn't explain much but only said that Bonnie was a Malevolent Phantom and asked to come and dispose of the body. Back on the main road, Felix walked on the sidewalk, planning to walk back to his hotel. However, a car stopped next to him. "Felix!" It was Lars and Yolanda in a Mercedes-Benz G500. Yolanda looked utterly confused in the passenger seat. "Oh, it 'is' you."The tennis court was one of the prestigious courts in Monaire despite being open for around a year. It was also located in the suburbs, so seeing Felix walking on the roadside was odd."Why are you walking?"Felix replied with a smile, "The scenery is really beautiful here, so I plan to walk back. It's still early anyway."Lars rolled his eyes. "Dude, it's over six miles away from the city. Do you actually plan to walk back?"On the side, Yolanda piped up, "Come join us, then. You must've seen enough of the scenery, right?"After some thought, Felix agreed. This w

Bonnie's expression turned ugly. She caught a glimpse of something behind Felix. However, she couldn't see it clearly."Do you really think I'm afraid of you?" She smirked. Knowing how terrifying the spell was, she no longer held back. Black markings surged across her face and instantly covered it.The scene was eerie. At the same time, Felix used his killer move. "Six Word Mantra!"Despite being the same spell, its power had been heavily improved. The Phaeron Projection had no attack power, but once used, it could enhance all of Felix's soul attacks.On the other hand, Bonnie didn't sense a difference. She noticed the projection behind Felix. But because of his current strength, the projection was weak and blurry. As his strength grew, the projection would become clearer and more powerful.A terrifying wave of energy surged toward Bonnie, so she didn't hold back her final trump card. "Dark Shadow!" Instantly, a 32-foot-tall shadow appeared. Its bloody mouth opened as it whist
Chapter 1240
Bonnie was obviously stronger in terms of soul mastery—perhaps it was why Felix couldn't sense her realm despite being in his domain. There seemed to be a strange energy that surrounded her.He didn't dare to use his marital artist techniques to attack. Although he had the Infinite Shield, if he wasn't careful, there was a chance to damage his soul. That would be completely catastrophic. In the battle between souls, it was necessary to be completely focused—they were all written in the book given by Billy. "You're quite smart. I thought you were going to attack me with your martial arts." She sounded almost disappointed. She had thought Felix was just another untrained brute, that he would instinctively use his martial arts to fight her. If he did, she would undoubtedly have a chance to beat him."Enough!" Felix exclaimed as he launched the first attack. Lumen flew out, but Bonnie wasn't afraid at all.Something flew out of her body as she exchanged blows with the Lumen. As ex

Felix had been wondering about how he was going to find the Eight Guardians—but he didn't expect one to show up right in front of him. It seemed like Karina's last attack hadn't been too severe. Otherwise, how did Ashton recover so quickly?In order to rescue Melissa and Ronan, Gerald had set a goal, and Felix had to execute it no matter what. Despite the power of the Eight Guardians, he must take them all down.Without another word, a domain immediately surrounded them, and Felix frowned."You're not Ashton."The energy exuded by this man was definitely of a martial artist, but once in the domain, Felix immediately realized that it was just a man in the early stages of the Transcendent Realm. How the hell could he be Ashton?Before he finished his words, Felix leaped toward the man and grabbed him by the neck. "Tell me! Who are you? Why are you impersonating Ashton?"The man immediately dropped the pretense and fear overtook his expression. "Spare me! It was a woman who tampered

Yolanda smiled bitterly. The idea made sense, but she rejected the thought. "Forget it. You know how large of a sum my financial crisis is! It's 5 billion dollars!"Even the bank blacklisted us and it's impossible to get a loan. Besides, whether it's individuals or companies, who in Monaire has the strength to come up with 5 billion dollars on the spot—except for that bastard."She sighed. "I don't deny that Felix is most likely filthy rich, but 5 billion dollars? That's impossible."Felix sat in the car outside of the tennis court. Everything had been planned after his brief investigation, so, of course, there would be no reason for failure. After discovering their family background, he realized the Zuckerbergs weren't ordinarily rich.It was no wonder they could prevent Serena from marrying into the Warlock family back then. They had everything. It was just a pity that Yolanda's father meddled in the import-export business. Initially, it was successful, creating a big name for th
