As the sound faded, Xena walked in and was surprised to see Felix there. She quickly masked her reaction and ignored him, secretly hoping he would not mention their relationship in front of her subordinates, especially Alistair—that would be too embarrassing."Lady Summers!" Alistair and the others bowed respectfully. Just as predicted, Alistair was not the type to disrespect authority, though his true loyalty remained questionable.Xena acknowledged them with a slight nod. "Quite a commotion here. Is there anything I can help with? I know I don't officially start until tomorrow morning, but I hope you don't mind me asking." The others remained silent until Alistair spoke up. "It's nothing serious. My sister just went missing for a while, but we've found her. Thank you for your concern, Lady Summers."Felix stood there silently, smart enough to pick up on Xena's deliberate attempt to hide their relationship."I see. I'm glad it was just a false alarm," Xena replied.As Alistair

Recognizing Xena's honesty, Alistair had already begun to accept his new superior. "Thank you for your concern, Lady Summers. Mr. Zeller has already found a way to treat Yara—now I just need to wait." After Alistair left, Xena turned to Felix. "You've done me a huge favor."Felix was annoyed. Xena had directly claimed him as her boyfriend without giving him a chance to explain, and she had gotten away with quite an advantage.He stepped closer to her with a mischievous look. "Oh really? How do you plan to thank me?"For some reason, Xena felt flustered. He was standing so close that his scent overwhelmed her senses, leaving her feeling strangely unsettled. She stuttered, "W-What are you doing?"Wanting to teach her a lesson, Felix suddenly grabbed the back of her head and kissed those coveted lips that many men had only dreamed of touching. The sudden contact left Xena's mind in chaos—she had never been touched by a man before, so her stunned reaction was natural. When Felix's

When Averill saw Felix's expression, she became puzzled as well. "Don't you know why Leslie needs to see you?"Felix felt like an idiot, completely lost in this conversation. "Did something happen?""I'm not here because of your online messages. I'm here specifically under Mr. Hoffman's orders," Averill explained. The mention of Gerald made Felix realize the gravity of the situation. His eyes turned cold with concern as he asked, "What happened to Leslie?" "She went somewhere and was poisoned with something rare—even Mr. Hoffman hasn't seen it before and can't cure it. He immediately sent her to find you. Since I was already in Canraville, Leslie asked me to give you a heads up." Felix felt both anxious and helpless. "How can I help if even Mr. Hoffman can't cure it?"Averill nodded confidently. "If Mr. Hoffman says you can do it, then you definitely can. I don't know the details, but Leslie will arrive in Canraville around 11:00 pm tonight. Just wait at home, and she'll find

"Jude, what's going on?" Michelle asked. Before Jude could answer, the heavy-set woman grabbed Michelle's hair. "What's going on? He's my sugar baby. How dare you seduce him? I'll teach you a lesson, you little homewrecker!" Just as she raised her hand to strike, a voice cut through the tension. "Stop right there!" The woman turned, eyes narrowing. She mocked, "Who the hell are you? Are you trying to play hero? Ha! So this little homewrecker has some tricks up her sleeves, huh? She's not just after one man!"Felix stepped into the room, striding confidently to Michelle's side, who was still trying to process what was happening. He warned, "Watch your mouth! I suggest you leave now. I would've taught you a lesson if it weren't for Michelle's birthday!" After all, this was Karina's niece, and Felix did not treat this matter lightly. The woman scoffed. "Interesting. Do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like that!"Tired of the drama, Felix pulled out his gift. "Mich

Felix chuckled. "You don't need to tell me. Whatever story Lady Nala and I share, I don't want to know."As if anticipating his response, Yvonne placed her hand on his thigh. "This is my mission, so please don't make it difficult. What you do after hearing it is your choice."When Felix remained silent, Yvonne continued, "The parents who passed away weren't your biological parents. Your true bloodline comes from the Greene family of Yartford—one of the most powerful families in Dragonia." "I know, but in my heart, I only acknowledge those two as my parents," Felix replied firmly.Yvonne frowned, not expecting this response. "The Greene family made a marriage contract with Lady Nala's family years ago. Though no specific names were mentioned, according to the agreement, you and Lady Nala are the intended couple." Felix laughed bitterly. This explained Nala's interest—like Xena, she was bound by a marriage contract. "Well, I'm honored! But given Lady Nala's status and position,
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 356
When a woman said something like that, it showed just how strongly she felt.Even Felix was taken aback as he reached out to touch Yvonne's face. "If I can marry you one day, I won't need anyone's approval. I hope you can understand that."As the car door opened, Yvonne said, "I belong to Lady Nala in both life and death. Even if I'm deeply in love, we cannot be together without her permission. I hope you understand that as well."At sunset, the entrance of Yardley Dining was lined with a red carpet and flanked with rows of elegant torches. The waitresses, clad in dresses, wore bright smiles and were fully prepared for the grand event. A banner that hung above the entrance read, "Welcome to Yardley Dining, Lady Summers."The restaurant was closed to the public that day, all for the sake of one guest—Xena Summers. The smile on Larry's face as he surveyed the restaurant showed how happy he was. Larry Laird, the owner of Yardley Dining, hadn't expected Felix to pull it off. On top o

Larry frowned deeply. The middle-aged man was definitely not joking. He seemed to expect that his employer would be served.Dreamscape was holding a concert in the provincial capital on the following night. Considering that, he had heard that many influential figures were already arriving in town, some of whom could rival Xena's status and even look down on her. If Xena were promoted to a Great Warlord, her status would rise even further, but for now, she still held the title of goddess of war.Hence, Larry knew he had to change his approach to the man before him. "Sir, could you do me a favor? It's really not easy to have the goddess of war here. I'm begging you." Having big names dine in his restaurant was undoubtedly good as it showed his food's popularity. However, he wouldn't be allowed to publicize it, so it wouldn't bring the publicity that Xena's presence would bring.The middle-aged man sneered, refusing to back down. "I can't grant that favor. My patience is limited. Y
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 358
Felix smiled. "I promise I'll take care of everything. Also, Xena should be arriving soon." At that moment, Larry was much more respectful than before. If anyone caused trouble for Felix, he would do everything in his power to protect him. After about ten minutes, Xena arrived. As she exited the car, fireworks were launched all around her. Furrowing her brow, she was surprised by the grand welcome. However, her expression relaxed when she spotted Felix. They both had the same principle in dealing with matters—once they made a promise, they had to follow through. Once they entered the restaurant's private room, exquisite dishes were served one after another, and Felix began to eat. "Are you not hungry?" he asked, noticing that Xena hadn't picked up her utensils. She shook her head slightly. "Since you're here, you should at least eat a little. It's polite," Felix insisted.Hesitating for a moment, Xena finally took a small bite, and the delicious food sparked her appetite

Xena said, "So far, over 200 people have refused to leave Laurel Resort."Felix thought that was an insane number. This situation was definitely more complicated than it seemed.He asked, "What about the staff or family members who've gone to check on them? Have any of them decided to stay?" Xena responded immediately, "No. But Lord Hector ran some tests. He sent a few people in and found that only those who spent the night there were affected. Those who didn't stay overnight weren't influenced at all.""Overnight?" Felix frowned, his mind racing. "There haven't been any reported deaths yet, right?"Xena let out a bitter chuckle. "With over 200 people involved, some of their families don't even want to meet them anymore. And even when we send people in, it's a massive resort—there's no way to fully investigate in just one day. So, whether or not there have been any casualties, we still can't say for sure." She sighed. "Since you brought up Laurel Resort yourself, I assume you h

Since Chris had just mentioned Laurel Resort, there was no way Felix could brush that off as a coincidence. Xena's call had come at the perfect time, but this was not the right moment for a deep conversation."Hold on, I'll call you back," he said before hanging up.Felix interrogated Chris for a while longer, then used soul extraction to confirm his story. Once he was satisfied, he dragged Chris back into the living room.Chris called Zachariah and his father over, while Felix sat back in his original seat.The Fifteenth Overlord remained completely calm. With Felix's current level, was there anyone who could truly rival him? Handling Chris was nothing but a trivial matter.No one knew exactly what was said, but within minutes, Zachariah came rushing over, his face pale with fear. He dropped to his knees, drenched in sweat, his former arrogance nowhere to be seen.He begged, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zeller! I won't ever do it again!"Chris had completely surrendered—what chance did he h

Besides, soul extraction required immense control over soul energy—one wrong move, and the soul could be damaged beyond repair, leaving the person a mindless husk. Worse, the process itself was excruciatingly painful."Start talking." Felix lowered his hand. He preferred getting information through direct confession rather than sifting through someone else's memories.After that, a simple soul search at the end was enough to confirm whether they were telling the truth. As for whether Chris was hiding anything important, it did not really matter. Just like the Blue Soul Scout Felix had captured in Kashmere, headquarters would handle the deeper interrogation later—nothing would slip through the cracks.Chris exhaled. "You already know about Soul Scouts, which means you've caught one before. I'll cut straight to the point—I know the exact location of a Green Soul Scout." Felix's interest was piqued. "Oh? Now that's interesting. Did you find out by chance, or was there a specific re

Not just the others—even the Fifteenth Overlord stood there in stunned silence, completely caught off guard by Felix's words. He thought, "The guy is wearing a mask, yet he still dares to say something so bold. Just how confident is he? This has to be the most arrogant thing anyone had ever said."Sure enough, Zachariah's veins bulged in fury. "Bullshit! Uncle Chris, he's insulting you right to your face, and you're just going to take it?"He could not understand why Chris was acting like a completely different person. For a split second, Zachariah even wondered if someone was impersonating him.Chris stood there, his expression completely unreadable. "I have no idea what you're talking about. Out of respect for the Fifteenth Overlord, I'm letting this slide. Zachariah will apologize, and then you'll leave."Felix suddenly reached out his right hand, and in an instant, Chris was yanked toward him, his throat caught in a firm grip. Felix sneered. "Still putting on an act? You kn

FSince the start, Felix sat there without saying a word. The moment he arrived, he had already expanded his domain, yet he could not find anyone matching Fifteenth Overlord's description. As he watched the Meyers father-son duo, their reactions confirmed his suspicion—the man was not home. Since that was the case, the only option was to tie these two up and wait.Just as the Fifteenth Overlord's killing intent grew stronger, a voice suddenly rang out. "Releasing such intense bloodlust in my house? Looks like I've been too nice to you."Before the words had even faded, a figure abruptly appeared in the living room. His face was covered, leaving only a pair of piercing eyes visible."Uncle Chris!" Zachariah was ecstatic, immediately pointing at the Fifteenth Overlord. "He's trying to kill us!"The moment their backup arrived, relief washed over the father and son, their eyes now burning with unrestrained vengeance."I thought you weren't home," the Fifteenth Overlord said, but he
Chapter 1265
Zachariah's face darkened. Felix's arrogance was getting out of hand. He thought, "Alright, then. I'll have my father know about this—we'll show you how even someone like Fifteenth Overlord couldn't help you." Initially, they would have shown some professional courtesy. But Felix's bold attitude immediately changed his approach. After entering the living room, Zachariah whispered something to Colton, then glared viciously at Felix before sitting down. Louise began making polite small talk with Colton, carefully avoiding the real purpose of his visit. When the moment felt right, he spoke up, "Mr. Meyer, I have a small favor. This young man and I have a family connection. I'm asking you to consider the Zuckerberg family's situation. "Could you do me a favor and let this go? Of course, he and Zachariah had a minor conflict. But that's just typical young people stuff." Colton laughed. "How can I refuse? But my family has a reputation. Their conflict has already spread through M

Milo said, "Exactly. A nation protects its people. When things get serious, nobody can stay safe. Even hiding in the mountains won't guarantee your security. "Martial artists do carry a legacy of duty." After chatting with Milo, Felix left. Milo and Melinda were heading to the airport. Since their mission was done, they needed rest. Felix could not provide any updates on the investment in Yolanda's company yet. After all, a 50-billion-dollar deal would take more than a day to assess. No one would believe a snap decision. When he was leaving the hotel, Lars' call came through. It was surprisingly early for a rich young man like him to call. "What's up, Mr. Lennings?" "We've got a problem. The Meyers are planning to crush Yolanda's family today. What should we do?" What? That was lightning-fast. The Zuckerbergs were already on the edge. One more push from the Meyers, and they'd collapse before Felix's "think tank" could even consider investing. Of course, Felix was not go

Felix stood pondering. Donna's warning about not visiting Laurel Resort meant notable danger. They were working together, and if something happened to Felix, they would need a new vessel for the Mystical Explosive Orb. She had invested so much time finding someone like Felix, whose soul essence collection abilities were solid. Naturally, she would not want to switch easily. But what could be the danger at that resort? Unable to stay passive, he immediately called Xena. He did not even care about how late it was already. It was something they were all used to anyway. As expected, she answered after a few rings. She sounded like she had been woken up. "What is it?" Felix's late-night call immediately put her on alert. "Does headquarters have any information about Laurel Resort?" After a few seconds, Xena responded, "No. What information did you get?" "Just check it for me." "Okay." He also notified the headquarters' local Monaire representative about the bodies. They co

Justin went into a maniacal laugh. "Kill him quickly! His soul must be incredibly delicious." Slowly lifting Justin's head, the young man's eyes turned ice-cold. "Do I need you to tell me how to do things? While I can't kill you, I know plenty of ways to make you wish you were dead if you say another word."Justin was terrified, so he immediately shut his mouth. He probably would not dare to say a word again. Suddenly, a phone rang. The young man pulled out his phone. He sighed before even answering, then tucked it back in his pocket. "You little brat, try to attack me again, and I won't care about Donna's feelings!" He tossed Justin's head to the ground and strolled away, humming a tune. Justin panicked. "Save me! You can't abandon me!" Felix's face darkened. He instantly killed Justin, then stood frozen in place. Though the encounter with the S-tier Malevolent Phantom was brief, he was genuinely scared. Even with the Lone Paragon activated, would he stand a chance agains
