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

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

Xena's gaze was empty as she stared at Felix. "You still came to me only to save yourself. Felix, I'm completely disappointed in you!"If you had just been honest with me from the start, given that I had already fallen for you, do you really think I would have refused? But you chose to hide the truth. So, everything you say now is just an excuse."Xena yanked her hand away from his grip, her voice cold. "I never want to see you again. Just disappear from my world completely."Felix stood frozen, watching Xena leave. He knew that nothing he could say or do would fix this now—Sarah had won by dealing Xena an emotional blow that could not be healed....The next morning, after a sleepless night, Felix still could not bring himself to give up and planned to ask Jack for advice. However, when he opened his door, he found Curtis stepping out of his car."Mr. Summers Senior," Felix greeted him quietly.Curtis looked as exhausted as Felix felt, as if he, too, had not slept. He simply sa
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 651
Right then, Felix could barely contain his anger anymore. Just as he was about to act, a police car zoomed past them. As he got snapped back to reality, he was reminded of the crowds milling around them. He suddenly remembered his own and Sarah's tremendous power. If they were to fight here, they could level the entire block in seconds. That kind of destruction would definitely draw unwanted attention from Dragonia's authorities. Sarah scoffed. "I thought you were actually going to do something." Taunted by Sarah, Felix's voice turned cold as he said, "You think it's fun playing with people's lives? What I felt for Xena was real, and you ruined everything. Do you have any idea how heartbroken she is?"Sarah smirked. "Of course I know she's heartbroken. All my schemes would have gone to waste if she hadn't been sad. The more pain she's in, the more that heartless Curtis will blame himself. That's exactly what I've been hoping for."Sarah would clearly stop at nothing for her rev

"Thank you, Mr. Summers Senior. I won't give up," Felix said.Within just an hour, Felix had tracked down the pen pal who went by the nickname "Sunset". They lived in Gray City."Felix, what brings you here to visit me?"Felix had shown up at Ernest's house that afternoon with some gifts. "I'm leaving Canraville for a while, and I might be gone for quite some time. I wanted to see you before I go." Leaving? Ernest was not too surprised. Young people, especially talented ones like Felix, rarely stayed in one city forever. "That's thoughtful of you." Felix hesitated before continuing, "I won't be saying goodbye to Sherlyn in person, so please let her know that I'm leaving. Also, please tell her she should live her life—I'm not worth waiting for." Ernest gave a knowing smile. "Don't worry about her. She's got a good head on her shoulders. When she really feels there's no hope left, she'll move on."…Around 5:00 pm, Jack and Vanessa arrived at a restaurant in Canraville. "Y

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

There was a clang as the tool in Lincoln's hand fell to the ground. He rushed outside, grabbing the woman who sent them the news."What? Quinley is dead?"The woman could no longer hold back her cries. She pointed at the group of fighters angrily. "One of their people is a monster! He raped her and killed her!" She screamed, "I don't want to live anymore. I want to die!" Just then, a man's voice came from behind her, "Why are you crying? Your daughter is lucky that I took a liking to her! Yet, she slapped me and forced my hand to kill her. She got off easy!"He was a rough-looking man, and he glared at the woman in contempt. The woman, Quinley's mother, Susan McLoughlin, wanted to rush forward in anger, but Leandre quickly stopped her. Even with everyone in the village, they couldn't fight against these brutes. Susan would die if she rushed up to fight the man now."I'm going to kill you!" she screamed again. Leandre held her back, but he couldn't stop Lincoln, whose face w

"Dr. Zeller, my father picked some mushrooms and cooked them for you!" a pretty girl announced as she walked into the clinic. Felix instantly smiled and thanked her, "Thank you, Quinley!"On the other hand, Lincoln blushed as soon as Quinley Salvatore walked in. Their feelings for one another weren't a secret at all. However, Quinley's family disapproved of him, as he had been incompetent with a disabled father before.But now, with Lincoln learning medical skills from Felix, of course, her family had a different opinion now."Lincoln, help me send Quinley off."While eating, Felix wondered whether he should leave or not. He hadn't seen anyone else outside of the village for a whole month now. Leandre seemed quite knowledgeable, but he was also wary of Felix. So, it was almost impossible to get information from him.When the sun was about to set, Lincoln suddenly ran in. "Mr. Zeller! Six fighters came into the village, and one of them was seriously injured!" he exclaimed anxio

"Do you remember anything at all?" Leandre asked as he walked over. Behind the Waverlys' house, Felix sensed Leandre's approach, but he didn't show it. He quickly pretended to be startled. "Oh! It's you, Mr. Campbell."Leandre smiled and took out a smoking pipe. "I used to look out in the village like this every night when I was young."Felix turned back and sighed. "Although I haven't exactly experienced it, I keep feeling that there's something terrifying in the darkness…"Leandre nodded. "That's for sure. Otherwise, how could so many people have died? Even the powerful fighters never return once they leave for Desolated Lands at night."Felix had a feeling that Leandre might be hinting at something else, but he pretended not to notice and turned to look at the fire in the east. "Thank goodness, the flame is there to protect us! Otherwise, I'm afraid there'll be no one left alive here."Turning to the flames, mixed emotions reflected in Leandre's eyes. "Yeah, Nine Flames are t

With a thump, Lincoln dropped to his knees and began thanking Felix, tears in his eyes. Every motion came from the heart."Get up, come on," Felix said, helping him back to his feet. "We met because of fate. Besides, if you hadn't led me out of that forest, I'd probably be dead by now."As Lincoln was lifted up, Mateo was already getting excited. "Hurry! Help me outside. I want to see what it looks like out there!"Out on the village path, two older women were walking side by side, gossiping and chuckling softly."Right? That guy got chewed out by Kimberly so badly that he couldn't get out of bed for three days. Serves him right!"Just as they were laughing, they caught sight of Mateo standing at the gate. They greeted him cheerfully, "Mateo!"He smiled back warmly. "Not asleep yet?"But before they could respond, both women froze mid-step. Their eyes widened as they stared in disbelief. Mateo was standing upright on his own. Lincoln stood a full yard away, not even close enough

Lincoln's jaw practically hit the floor as he stared at Felix in disbelief. "Felix, are you really a doctor?"Felix gave a sheepish smile, his expression just as confused."Yeah… I just remembered it a moment ago. No wonder I had flashes of those silver needles. Maybe it's because you talked about all this. It helped jog my memory. Thank you, Lincoln."Lincoln grew excited. "Then, Felix, can you heal my father's legs? He's been dreaming of walking again…"People from small villages had no idea what it took to treat legs that hadn't moved for a whole year. However, it actually worked out perfectly for Felix.What he needed right now was a safe place, away from danger, where he could think through the whole situation with Nine Flames. Everything else was secondary.Putting on a hesitant expression, Felix sighed. "I can try, but I don't have any silver needles with me."When the Starmark transported him, everything that wasn't part of his body or soul had been left behind on Earth.

Leandre just took a few puffs of his pipe. "He can stay the night at your house. That's final."With that, he walked away.His tone was firm and unquestionable. With Leandre—the chief—showing his authority, Lincoln didn't dare protest any further. He could only give Felix an apologetic look."Sorry, Felix. I didn't know Leandre was so wary of outsiders."Felix chuckled. "It's fine. I'm just grateful he let me stay the night."Innswood Village was visibly poor. There was not a single brick house in sight. Everything was made of straw and wood, barely holding together.The village was small. According to Lincoln, only about 300 people lived there.On the way in, Felix had also learned that Lincoln's father was still alive, but he'd broken both his legs a year ago while out foraging. Since then, he'd been bedridden, and all the responsibility of supporting the family had fallen on Lincoln's shoulders. Honestly, Lincoln was as filial as they came."You must be Felix. Thank you for
