"Let's have dinner at home. I will cook for you. Your mom learned her cooking skills from me. There's nothing good at the restaurants nowadays," Yvette suggested."Okay," Felix agreed.He was at a stage where he craved family bonds, and Yvette was technically a relative. Otherwise, he would have no relatives showing up to his wedding."Ronald has lived a pampered life. His mom spoiled him rotten. If he offended you in any way, I hope you won't take it too personally.""Alright."Yvette's phone buzzed during the drive. She answered the phone on Bluetooth. "Hi, Margaret.""I've secured an appointment with Mrs. Walsh. Hurry over!"Yvette furrowed her brows, looking troubled. "But Margaret, I can't make it.""What's more important than meeting Mrs. Walsh? You knew she could help put in a good word. It'll help immensely with that business deal! I dropped you the location. Just come now."A thought struck Margaret Holmes. She added, "By the way, I nearly forgot that Ronald told me

A while later, Yvette and Felix showed up."Margaret, this is my nephew, Felix Zeller," she introduced Felix.Felix greeted Margaret for Yvette's sake."Felix? You look like a fine young man. I've heard about the incident at the scarf boutique. It's all Ronald's fault."Ronald offered an apology, saying, "I didn't know you were older than me. Consider us acquainted after that fight. Sorry about that."Felix absentmindedly answered him. It seemed like Margaret had since enjoyed a better status in the Sullivan family. It was either that, or Shaun was highly respected in the family. Otherwise, Ronald would never apologize.Felix regarded himself as having dealt with people from all walks of life. He believed in his judgment of character. Ronald, an impudent man, would not say sorry unless he was pressured by someone superior."Felix, the woman who will join us is Mrs. Walsh. She's a respectable figure in Aleshire. Since we're asking for her favor, please keep any grudges to yours

Who could have imagined such a thing would happen? Yvette hurried to explain, "Margaret, there must be some misunderstanding here! Let's be honest. With Felix's status, how could he possibly come into contact with someone like Evelyn York? Besides, he doesn't even reside in Aleshire."Felix was searching through his memory, trying to figure out if he had ever met someone named Evelyn York. In the end, the answer was clear—he truly hadn't."Yvette, stop defending him. I think he did it on purpose. Didn't you say before that there wasn't much point in reconnecting with old relatives? That already shows your relationship wasn't that close. He's clearly looking for trouble," Margaret said, cutting her off before she could respond."There's no need to explain further! I'll tell Nathaniel everything about this, and I'll inform Shaun as well," Margaret declared, leaving no room for discussion.At this point, Felix couldn't stay silent any longer. "If this is truly my fault, I'll take re

Yvette hurried out of the kitchen, still holding the ladle. She had never seen Shaun like this before."What happened, dear? Does it have something to do with Felix?"Shaun's expression was grim, and his face was shadowed with concern. Instead of answering her, he turned to Felix."Tell me honestly. What kind of conflict do you have with Evelyn? If we can't figure out the reason, I really can't do anything to help."Shaun, who usually carried himself with an easygoing and carefree attitude, now seemed utterly serious. It left Felix somewhere between amused and exasperated."I honestly don't know Evelyn. I've never even met her, let alone had any issues with her."Watching Shaun frown even more deeply, Yvette couldn't hold back any longer. No matter what, she couldn't just stand by and watch Cordelia's only blood relative end up in real trouble."What's going on? Just tell me!"Shaun sighed heavily, finally making a decision. "Drive Felix out of Aleshire. I'm afraid Evelyn has a

Nathaniel obviously saw an opportunity to completely crush Shaun—a perfect chance to kill two birds with one stone.Before Shaun could respond, Dominic interrupted coldly, "Shut up! Who told you we're here to cause trouble?"Then, he shot an anxious glance toward Shaun. "If I'm not mistaken, you're Shaun Sullivan, which would make Mr. Zeller your nephew. Correct?"Shaun was about to answer instinctively when he suddenly froze, wondering if the "Mr. Zeller" he meant was Felix. The others also noticed the unusual formality in the address, especially coming from the head of the Walsh family.After all, addressing an outsider as "Mister" typically meant they held a higher status and deserved special respect. However, they were puzzled as to what could make Felix so special."Dominic, what's your wife trying to do?" Felix finally broke free from Yvette's tight grip and stepped forward.That single question made Evelyn's teeth chatter with fear, while Dominic struggled to maintain a ge
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 647
That single word "wait" made Dominic and Evelyn jump in surprise. Dominic asked nervously, "What can I do for you, Mr. Zeller?""I heard you have a multi-billion-dollar deal with the Sullivan family?" Felix's question made Dominic relax slightly, as he had expected something worse."Yes, that's correct. What about it, Mr. Zeller?"Felix gestured casually before saying, "Work out the details with Uncle Shaun moving forward. If he wants to do it, great. If not, forget I mentioned it.""Of course, Mr. Zeller. I'll personally visit Mr. Shaun tomorrow," Dominic replied eagerly. The old saying about one person's success lifting up everyone around them could not have been more true. In the past, Dominic would not have given anyone in the Sullivan family the time of day. While the Sullivans had had a slight chance at this billion-dollar deal before, it had been a long shot at best. Now, everything had changed.After they left, Felix smiled and said, "Aunt Yvette, Uncle Shaun, let's

In a secluded forest in Dragonia, Sarah suddenly sat up from her sleep, a mysterious smile slowly spreading across her face. She mused, "Well, well, things are moving faster than I expected... The real show is about to begin."...The next morning, Xena playfully shoved Felix away. "You jerk, stop it! I need to get to work!" Thanks to her martial arts training and enhanced stamina, she was able to get up at all—most women would not have been able to move after such an intense first time, especially after a night of passion."Alright. We'll continue at my place tonight," Felix teased. "Though I seem to remember someone being quite vocal—"She quickly covered his mouth before he could finish, her face flushed with embarrassment as she rushed out. The memories of last night's passion were still fresh in her mind, making her heart race.Like any woman experiencing intimacy for the first time, she had found herself caught up in the moment. Now that she had finally found her true love

After a long moment of hesitation, Xena clicked play on the video. The first thing she saw was Felix talking with an elderly woman, and as their conversation continued, Xena's brows furrowed in concern."So, that's Madam Spring?" she whispered to herself. After months of investigation without even knowing what Sarah looked like, this should have been a welcome discovery. However, as the video continued, Xena's expression darkened, and her eyes turned ice-cold.By the end, her fists were clenched so tight her knuckles turned white as she snapped through gritted teeth, "Felix!"...After sunset, Felix finished preparing a feast and called Xena, who should have arrived half an hour ago according to their plans. When she did not answer after several rings, he tried not to worry.However, 40 more minutes had passed, and he could not shake the feeling that something was wrong. Even if Xena were delayed, she would have let him know.Finally, he called Alistair directly. "Alistair, is

Wagner and his accomplices were terrified, tremors coursing through their bodies. "No, no, please! I didn't know it was you, Mr. Longstone! Give me one more chance, please!"As one of the most powerful men in the city, Gras was someone who would put his money where his mouth was. He could kill them all, and their families wouldn't even dare to utter a single word."I know your father, so I'll give you a chance," Gras said.Only then did Wagner start recovering from his shock, breathing a sigh of relief. He wondered why Gras would come to such a small village, though.Meanwhile, Gras turned to Felix. "You're Dr. Zeller from Innswood Village, aren't you?""Yes, it's me," Felix replied politely. Gras smiled. "I've looked at Kathlynn's injuries, and I could see that you're as skilled as they say. It so happens that I need an experienced doctor in my residence. Would you be willing to work there?"Wagner was speechless. Now he knew why Gras would make the journey here—he had set his

Felix looked at their expressions that were devoid of shame. He'd figured, long ago, that these people might not abide by the three-month-long agreement. As expected, their real intentions began to bleed out by the beginning of the second month. "What if I refuse to do as you say, then? Kathlynn will have to die alongside Innswood Village and me!"Wagner remained unruffled. "Really? Let's go. I'll show you what will happen if you refuse."They returned to the city, only to learn that Felix had told them the truth, proved by how the other doctors were helpless against the venom flowing in Kathlynn's veins. They'd also ascertained the effectiveness of that medicinal powder, which they were unfortunately incapable of making. If the powder hadn't been applied on Kathlynn's body, the venom would have begun to spread through her body eventually.Wagner had never been subjected to such humiliation, though. When it was time to collect the medicine this month, he took on the task. He'd

One of the old men smiled and brought out a half-palm-sized wooden card. He handed it to Felix. "This is our association's identification card. It's custom-made. You see this small hole? There's a bug inside of it."Felix inspected it carefully and found a small hole. He wasn't sure what the bug did, however."When you're in danger, or when someone forces a body check, just break the card, and it'll turn to dust. At the same time, your closest ally will sense it, and the bug will come out of its hole. It'll find your ally and guide them to you."How magical! Felix was quite impressed. There were no phones here, but they had found ways to send information. "We have some queen bugs on our hands. The queen bugs can sense all of the bugs, and when there's a mission, we'll reach out to you. You can live your own life for now."How amazing! A lot of thought had clearly been put into this."There's also one more situation when the bug might come out. When an ally is within 30 feet, it'

Although Leandre was still a member of The Recovery Association, he lost his strength in the battle all those years ago. Thus, he was no different than just an old man now. Besides, this time, it wasn't just about himself. It was about protecting Innswood Village. He didn't want to cause any trouble here. So, he was utterly helpless with Felix's request."Since you're recommending me to join The Recovery Association, once I'm in, won't I be able to use their influence to help?"Leandre's eyes lit up. Felix was right. He wasn't an ordinary person! He was not only a doctor but also a martial artist. The Recovery Association would hold him on a pedestal, and it would be understandable for them to help him."Alright, then. I'll contact them and ask them to send someone over!" The world of martial arts wasn't only about fighting and killing but also connections. Sometimes, connections and favors were more important.If Felix had been alone, it wouldn't have mattered. He could just k

Leandre cleared his throat. "Well, yes! I do want you to join The Recovery Association! Regardless of your strength as a fighter, your medical skills alone are extremely useful to us."Don't rush to decide! You can give me your answer once you've made up your mind."Felix stood up and asked, "So, you're one of the survivors from 30 years ago, right?" But without waiting for an answer, Felix left.As soon as he did, Leandre spilled the wine on the ground, falling to his knees. He looked up at the sky with tears in his eyes. "My people… I am utterly useless, and this is all I can do now… I hope I'll be able to enjoy the moonlight again in this lifetime."After returning to the clinic, Felix began to think about how to save Innswood Village. With his strength, he could definitely kill someone like Wagner in just a few days. However, it would be too obvious.If the fighters die, wouldn't their families investigate? However, Aquamarinus wasn't as restricted by laws as Earth. As l

Felix stayed quiet for a while. In fact, he had been extremely restless for a while now, but he didn't dare to show it. Finally, he let out a laugh."If you dare tell me, of course, I would listen. In fact, when I lost my memories in the forest, it had something to do with Nine Flames. But my story should be kept a secret."A sharp glint flashed in Leandre's eyes. He clinked their glasses again and said, "In fact, when the Flame Monarch appeared with Nine Flames, Aquamarinus was still peaceful, and there were no Desolated Lands at all."Huh? Felix was shocked. This was truly a startling secret. It was something that could get someone killed."When the Flame Monarch came, so did Desolated Lands. But the current history books say the complete opposite. Instead, it says that Desolated Lands were spreading, and when the Flame Monarch appeared with Nine Flames, it gave Aquamarinus peace."Memories seemed to flash by in Leandre's eyes. "Back then, people could come and go freely on Aqua

At this time, Felix finally went to Quinley's house. The funeral hall had been set up, and the villagers were watching. With his arrival, everyone quickly made way for him.Perhaps it had already been explained, but no one showed hatred to Felix for what he did, nor did they worry Wagner and his companions might come back for revenge."Dr. Zeller! Thank you… Thank you for getting justice for my Quinley!" Her parents rushed to greet him, falling to their knees and thanking Felix. Their only remaining son followed behind.However, only Lincoln was left beside the corpse, mourning like he had lost his soul. "Please, get up. My deepest condolences," Felix replied gently.After lighting up a few candles for Quinley, Felix, who was about to leave, told Lincoln softly, "Come to me when you feel better."When he arrived at Leandre's house, there was a bottle of wine on the table along with two side dishes. "Quinley's family is going to move to town. With the hundred silver coins, they

A secret? Felix watched Leandre leave after speaking. That meant that it wasn't the time yet. Of course, Felix didn't expect anything much. Although he could see that Leandre wasn't as simple as he seemed, Leandre had been in Innswood Village for so many years.How powerful could he be?…As the sun rose, so did Kathlynn. Wagner was extremely happy. "Kathlynn! You're finally awake!"After Kathlynn shook herself awake, she looked down at her body, confused. She felt around and muttered, "I'm… I'm completely healed? I can only feel a slight ache now… What happened?"The last thing she remembered was the moment she was attacked. The injury was so horrible that she couldn't forget the feeling. She thought she was a goner for sure."We got lucky. We found a doctor in Innswood Village, and he saved you."A doctor? She followed Wagner's finger and was surprised. A doctor from a village could actually help her?As she thought of this, she stood up and said, "Thank you for saving me

Wagner glared at Felix, gritting his teeth. "You'd better help her! Otherwise, you know what will happen!"Felix showed no expression as he said, "I'm a doctor. If I say I can do it, I definitely can help her."Wagner took a deep breath, and he felt something he had never felt before—humiliation. "What must he do?""Tell him to follow Mr. Campbell. He shall kneel and pray before Quinley's body before compensating her family with 100 silver coins!"The rough man almost fainted when he heard the request. "Kneel and pray? How dare you ask me to do that?"Him, a fighter, kneeling to a mere villager? How could he withstand such humiliation? Even Wagner was furious by this request. He looked at Kathlynn lying on the bed and held back."Follow the chief and do as you're told!" Wagner barked.The rough man wanted to argue, but Wagner clenched his fists and said angrily, "Was I not clear, or are you deaf?"Hearing this, the man could only glare at Felix angrily before following the he
