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

In a bedroom of the villa, Felix furrowed his brow deeply. He had been checking Leslie's pulse for a long time, but he couldn't sense any abnormalities in her body. He was at a loss about why she had fainted. "Could it really be a toxin I've never encountered before? Even Mr. Hoffman can't do anything about it? How can I possibly resolve this?" he mused aloud as he felt his anxiety grow.The nine fellow apprentices were like family to him, and seeing Leslie collapse in front of him caused him to feel immense pain.Just then, Leslie opened her eyes, managing a weak smile. "Did I faint? How long has it been?" "It's been half an hour," Felix replied."That's longer than before. At first, it was just a bit of dizziness, but now it's half an hour. If this continues, I might not wake up at all the next time I faint." Leslie was undeniably beautiful. Her short hair accentuated her delicate and refined appearance, bringing out the fairness of her skin. Her words and expressions stirre

Leslie's face turned red again after hearing Felix's words. Recalling the wild moment they shared, she felt a longing to experience it once more but forced herself to suppress those urges. "Stop joking around. Didn't you say you would introduce me to an apprentice? Bring her over," Leslie instructed."Alright." After his call with Alistair, Felix was about to say something when Leslie placed a finger on his lips. "You don't need to make me any promises. I understand your situation." Felix felt moved that his fellow apprentices truly understood him. In comparison, Xena seemed to lack in that aspect. Just half an hour later, Alistair rushed in with his sister. "Yara, thank Dr. Zeller for saving your life." Having been unconscious previously, Alistair sincerely appreciated Felix's help."No need to thank me. Have my fellow apprentice take a look at her first." Nodding, Leslie approached and examined Yara. Her expression soon lit up with joy. "Yes, the constitution of her

Felix was fully focused—this was the kind of intel headquarters would never provide. There was no way he would miss a single word when it came to his own survival.Donna explained, "When an S-tier Malevolent Phantom reaches this state, even though its consciousness is in chaos, its instincts will still push it to seek salvation. It does this by filtering souls in a specific way, selecting only those that meet its criteria to reach its soul core. What happens after that—whether it wakes up or how you might influence its recovery—is something I don't know."But one thing is certain—the only chance you'll have to kill it is when you see its soul core. This isn't just for us Malevolent Phantoms—every creature's soul core is its most vulnerable point. Normally, it's buried under layers of soul energy and defenses, making it nearly impossible to find."That explained why Donna thought Felix had a shot. Just imagining the kind of energy an S-tier Malevolent Phantom's refined soul could add

Felix immediately perked up. He desperately needed this information. Headquarters had hit a dead end—Hector, the one who knew the most, could not make sense of the situation, and even Xena admitted she had nothing to offer. The simplest solution would be to just launch a missile and wipe Laurel Resort off the map, but there were over 200 lives inside—who would dare give that order?So, at this moment, Donna's words were nothing short of music to his ears. It really was a world that favored the strong. Not long ago, Donna had dismissed him without a second thought, saying they had gone their separate ways—but now that his power had risen, she was clearly taking a different stance.Yet, instead of speaking right away, Donna simply smiled—a mysterious, knowing smile—as she stared at him. "Heh… Looks like I underestimated Earth—or maybe just Dragonia."Felix frowned. "What do you mean?"Donna touched her lips, her smile turning even more cryptic. "I just said I wasn't taking back

Felix's strength had grown, and he was not the same as before. Now, he could finally take the plunge.Nonetheless, there was one last thing he needed to do before setting off—master Dragon Rebirth, the technique Gerald had given him. He was unsure what lay beyond the Grandmaster Realm, but he trusted Gerald. Another day passed, and Felix successfully cultivated Dragon Rebirth. As expected, it was the natural successor to Dragon Destroyer—otherwise, it would not have been this easy. The technique was running on its own, but Felix did not feel much of a difference at the moment. Still, he knew results would not come overnight, so he had to take things one step at a time.As for dealing with the Leaping Creek Corporation, Zion had taken care of everything through his connections with the Warlock family. Felix did not have the time to plan every move—he only needed to make sure the Zuckerberg family could survive this crisis and accept the changes without resistance.That afternoon,

Yolanda did not hesitate for even a second before agreeing. After all, what was a million-dollar statue to Felix? The man was not exactly strapped for cash. If anything, giving him something he genuinely liked made her feel better about the whole situation.Besides, anyone who laid eyes on this five-clawed golden dragon would be captivated by its craftsmanship."No problem at all," she said with a smile....Back at home, Felix finally let his emotions show—his excitement practically radiated from his expression and eyes. "Holy shit! Is this what Yolanda meant by good karma pays off?"Even now, he could hardly believe it. His luck had come out of nowhere—this was beyond anything he could have imagined.The moment Felix touched the golden dragon, he had felt something inside it. This was not just an ordinary sculpture. It contained dragon energy—the real thing. As someone who possessed nine pieces of Dragonspines and cultivated Dragons Destroyer, there was no way he could have bee

Yolanda said, "I finally understand what people mean when they say that kindness gets repaid. If I hadn't stood up for you back in elementary school, you probably wouldn't even remember my name now."Felix nodded. "That's true. Back in elementary school, the only names I really remembered were the ones I was close with. We barely talked back then—guess it was just fate."After they finished eating, Yolanda suddenly said, "Business is business, but the fact remains—you saved my family. And let's not forget, you also spent 100 million dollars on the Meyers situation. If we said that little favor from elementary school was enough to cancel out all of this, my family and I wouldn't feel right."She continued, "Since you don't need money, my dad figured the least we could do was let you take a look at his vault. If there's anything you like, it's yours."Felix waved a hand dismissively. "That's really not necessary. This investment benefits me, too—it's a win-win situation. I don't see

Felix was taken aback by Donna's straightforward reply, and he felt a little uncomfortable. He was not sure if it was because S-tier Malevolent Phantoms did not care about emotional intelligence or if they were just this brutally honest. Either way, he had no idea how to respond."You're probably wondering why I'm only telling you about Laurel Resort now, right?" Luckily, Donna spoke up before he had to ask. That was precisely what he had been wondering."Why?" Felix asked.Donna said, "Because your so-called headquarters would eventually get desperate enough to send you, and I figured we were getting close to that point, so I gave you a heads-up. "I also knew you'd send someone to investigate, but it didn't really matter. Even if I hadn't warned you, it would've only delayed things by a few days."Donna was not wrong. With over 200 people missing, it was only a matter of time before Hector could not keep things under wraps anymore. When that happened, either he or Billy would be

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
Chapter 1268
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
