The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 648
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

Eight figures emerged at the mountain peak. All of them were older men and middle-aged warriors who radiated powerful presences. "Five Oceanus Realm masters and three Pulse Realm masters—I'm flattered by such attention." Pulse Realm was the next level above Oceanus Realm. A martial artist would reach this realm when they could gather their spiritual energy into a sphere within their core and make it rotate. This rotating energy sphere would then release its essence throughout the body's meridians, strengthening and transforming them. Felix was not exaggerating about the impressive display of force. Most martial arts sects barely had any Oceanus Realm masters, let alone those who had reached the higher Pulse Realm. Yet the Council had sent so many at once. "Anyone the Council marks for death never lives to see another day. You're the only exception, Felix. Wouldn't it be disrespectful if we didn't take you seriously?" They were not surprised Felix could identify their cultiv

"Kill him!" Now that the battle had started, there was no more need for words. Just as the eight warriors were about to attack in unison, the three Pulse Realm masters suddenly turned pale. They convulsed and coughed blood as they were thrown backward. "Rising Dragon!" Seizing the moment, Felix unleashed his Rising Dragon technique against the three, who were already reeling from his Shadow Strike. "He... He's reached Pulse Realm, too!" The remaining five Oceanus Realm masters gasped as they finally sensed Felix's true power level. How was this possible? Intelligence had reported Felix was at Oceanus Realm, which was shocking enough since they had thought he was still at Aetherial Realm. But now, had he actually advanced from Oceanus to Pulse Realm in just days? It seemed really inhuman of Felix to be able to do that. Throughout history, no martial artist had ever progressed this quickly—not even the greatest prodigies. Three thunderous explosions snapped them back to reali

Felix hung up without a word. He wanted nothing more to do with the Greenes. Though his face remained expressionless, his mind was in a mess. Asher had mentioned that Aiden had reached Innate Realm at just ten years old. After all these years, his power had to be immense. Now that was true genius. It was no wonder that the Greene family held such a unique position in Dragonia. Aiden alone showed how powerful they were.Unless he called on Gerald and his fellow apprentice for help, Felix knew he was not ready to challenge the Greenes. He was not even sure he could match Aiden in combat. With these thoughts weighing on him, Felix drove into Canraville and called Seven. Shortly after he got home, Seven arrived. "Mr. Zeller, does this fit what you want? We crafted it exactly according to your photo." Felix had sent Seven a picture of the Dragonspine and asked him to look for people who could produce a replica. It had to be made with bone, and any animal bone would do. "Yeah, i

"You must be quite famous to scare this kid just by showing up," Felix joked.Kurt remained respectful, remembering Clement's warning that if Felix were dissatisfied, Kurt's position would be forfeit. His status in Gray City might be impressive, but compared to Clement, he was nothing."Since he's troubled you, Mr. Zeller, I'll take him away and handle it to your satisfaction," Kurt offered.Huxley was terrified but knew he had to beg for mercy—if Felix spoke about this incident, the consequences would be devastating. Everyone knew those who crossed Kurt met terrible fates, often along with their families."Please, no!" Huxley sobbed, but Felix waved dismissively."Get out of here, and don't let this happen again," Felix said, having no interest in wasting time on such trivial matters."You heard Mr. Zeller," Kurt prompted.Huxley scrambled away, vowing never to harass anyone again, no matter how ordinary they seemed.After George and Kurt left 30 minutes later, Felix finally h

Huxley relaxed slightly when the Rolls-Royce drove away, and the crowd began to thin. After all, everyone had at least one wealthy friend—this he could handle."Nelly, this little show doesn't make Felix any more impressive," Huxley mocked, pointing at the Lamborghini. "Anyone can rent a luxury car nowadays with some cash. So what's your answer about tonight?"Before Nelly could respond, Felix pulled her inside the clinic. "There's someone I want you to meet."Huxley was furious but hesitated to act with George present, deciding to wait until the Lamborghini left before teaching Felix a lesson."Mr. Gibson is frustrated he couldn't make it back from abroad, but he arranged for a gift that should arrive soon," George mentioned, referring to Ryan rather than Clement as Felix initially thought.Felix sighed. "Please don't make arrangements like this without asking. If everyone shows up, how am I supposed to run a normal clinic?" Gray City and Avesburgh were about the same size, an

Nelly had always maintained professional distance with all her clients, which had worked to discourage Huxley's advances since he was never really interested in buying property. However, Felix's arrival completely disrupted that delicate balance.After a long moment of internal struggle, Nelly agreed. "Fine, I'll have dinner and karaoke with you tonight, but that's all."Huxley smiled darkly, knowing she would not have any control over what happened once she was there, especially after he slipped something into her drink."That won't be necessary," Felix interrupted firmly. "I actually appreciate having all these people guarding my clinic. Nelly, please go home."Upon seeing Huxley's expression turn venomous, Nelly panicked. "Mr. Zeller, please stay out of this. I know what I'm doing.""I said it's not necessary," Felix repeated calmly.Huxley's expression darkened as he grabbed Felix's collar. "Do you actually think having Clement back you up makes you untouchable? What's your c

Xena nodded slowly. "Of course, I've heard of them! Everyone who joins gets that training at headquarters. "How could anyone not know about the legendary Chief Commander? But what does this have to do with Felix?"She had tried calling Conan earlier, but he had been too scared to say anything. Hence, she was now questioning Alistair."The legendary Chief Commander appeared today—she's Felix's senior," Alistair explained. "One call to Hugh, and within minutes, they discovered the forensics team had falsified everything on the phone.""What?" Xena shot up from her chair. "Are you absolutely certain Felix's senior is the legendary Chief Commander?"Though Alistair only responded with a telling look, she knew it was true. The news was absolutely staggering—this connection was far more significant than knowing any warlord."Based on Mr. Spade's reaction, the Chief Commander hasn't aged a day," Alistair added thoughtfully.Xena gave a bitter laugh. "Of course not. One can only imagin

Conan did not want to stay a second longer in this place. After all, this was the legendary Chief Commander, someone even Lionel respected. He had really shot himself in the foot this time, wishing he had shown better judgment.After they left, Felix breathed a sigh of relief, finally understanding why the forensics results were compromised. It seemed John had timed his report precisely for this reason."Thank you, Mira," Felix said sincerely.Averill immediately protested with a mischievous grin. "What about me? Don't forget you did nothing but lie in bed last time. You should thank me for my hard work too."Felix felt his face burning with embarrassment—only Averill would make such suggestive comments in front of Mira."How did you two end up coming together?" he asked, trying to change the subject.Mira's eyes sparkled with amusement. "I was too lazy to track you down, so I had Averill do the legwork." She turned to Averill and added, "Don't you have a flight to catch?"Ave

Conan whirled around to find another stunningly beautiful woman, and he widened his eyes. He could not help but think, "Damn! What kind of luck does Felix have to have such gorgeous seniors?""Of course! What, are you planning to interfere too?" he challenged, trying to maintain his authority.Felix stood up, surprised to see that Averill's mentioned senior was none other than Mira, who had gracefully entered the room carrying a distinctive purple umbrella—the kind of accessory that demanded attention whether you wanted to give it or not."Well, well, headquarters has really gone downhill if this is the caliber of agents they're producing these days," Mira remarked with a cold smile.Conan's face reddened with rage at the insult to headquarters, but his anger suddenly froze as he took a closer look at Mira's face. He stumbled backward several steps. "Y-You're..."Ignoring Conan, Mira pulled out her phone and dialed a number. "Listen here, Hugh. Just because you're retired doesn't

A flash of annoyance crossed Alistair's eyes, but he still made the introduction. "Mr. Zeller, this is Mr. Conan Spade from headquarters, a joint investigator. Given the international implications of this case, they're taking it quite seriously." Conan scoffed at these words. "Mister? Really, Alistair? You're getting soft—since when do we address suspects as 'mister'?""How I address people is my business," Alistair shot back. "As long as the investigation is thorough, my manners aren't your concern." Ignoring the exchange, Conan dropped heavily into the chair across from Felix. "The voice recordings and videos from your phone have been authenticated—it's definitely you, Felix. No amount of denial will help unless you can provide an alibi, so you'd better come with us right now."He added with menace, "And if you resist, we're authorized to use lethal force!"Conan's hostility was crystal clear, but Felix chose not to dwell on it. He replied, "I actually do have an alibi, though

Felix's first thought was that they had found out that he killed Mason, but he quickly dismissed it. First, he had been meticulous. Since Mason had come to kill him, he would have surely avoided cameras himself. Secondly, the Jacobs family would learn about his death first. There was no way they would ask the cops for help instead of taking revenge themselves. These two points made it unlikely. So, what was it? "Xena, don't joke around. How could I have murdered someone?" "That's not for you to decide. Did you think I'd call you if this wasn't official? Alistair's coming for you. I hope you'll cooperate, or I'll issue an arrest warrant." The call ended right there, and Felix was left bewildered. He could only go home and wait. An hour later, Alistair found his address. He sat in Felix's living room with two Wolfie troopers. The fact that they had not even given him a heads-up despite their relationship meant this was official business. "Mr. Zeller, I apologize, but we mus

If Felix wanted to have regular interactions with Willow, he first needed a job. Maintaining his usual air of mystery would only create distance.After consideration, he decided that continuing his career as a doctor made the most sense. It was the fastest way to connect with people. After all, everyone would get sick sometimes."There's a traditional medicine clinic for rent just a block away. But you should see it yourself first." Nelly's efficiency was impressive. After all, she was familiar with the industry. "Thanks again. Just call me Felix." "Sure, Felix." Nelly's colleagues had been right when they said she was a reserved woman. She had not been putting on an act when she always maintained professional distance with wealthy clients. Her different approach with Felix stemmed from her intuition. His eyes were always filled with sincerity whenever he looked at her. The clinic was about 800 square feet. Though it was not big, it was sufficient for use. It had thrived un
