The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 839
At Damien's door stood dozens of people. They were all expressionless, and they all stared at Felix blankly. It was super creepy."You… What do you want?" Felix greeted them awkwardly. His nervousness showed in his eyes.However, no one answered him. They all stood still, staring at him intently.Fortunately, there were sounds of footsteps, and the crowd immediately made way. An old man with a cane and a goatee slowly approached.Felix knew that this old man was well known in Seapoint. He was labeled the Great Teacher. With the headquarters' investigations, it was easy to find the background of Damien's life. In fact, many people worked outside of Seapoint. However, they chose Damien because he had no relatives left. After his grandmother, who depended on him, passed away, he left Seapoint to work. Tragically, Damien himself passed away in a car accident. What was left of him had no one to remember him by—except for some neighbors and some friends."Mr. Docker," Felix took t

Felix smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry, but my phone has no signal. I promise to come and pay you back when it's back."When he came out of the supermarket, there were a few more people around Lena. They took the initiative to help Felix hold his bags.The enthusiasm, at least in their eyes, seemed genuine. Honestly, in today's society, it was a miracle that neighbors would even help each other, especially since Damien was a useless nobody.When they got home, Lena and a few of the townsfolk cleaned the house again without Felix asking. Soon, the house looked brand new. After a while, someone came over with a lot of food, cigarettes, alcohol, and many other necessities."This is too much!" Felix said, a little embarrassed.Lena smiled. "Damien, our town has changed dramatically now. To tell you the truth, as long as you don't leave town from now on, you don't have to spend a single penny on your future expenses."Felix pretended to be ecstatic. "Is that true? Aunt Lena, that's

The six real Dragonspines in Felix's body trembled, and his expression changed wildly. This was the first time this was happening, and he was a little scared. He quickly activated Dragons Destroyer, but the trembling didn't stop."What's going on?" Despite the fact that the Dragonspines were trembling within him, his body felt completely normal. After trying various skills, nothing changed, and Felix could only head outside.If he continued like this, he would have to terminate the mission—he didn't want to risk his life. If he couldn't solve it himself, he could only consult Gerald. However, there wasn't a signal in town. The only way he could contact Gerald was to leave Seapoint. But Felix didn't expect that as soon as he left the house, the Dragonspines stopped trembling, as if it were all an illusion.He had a thought. To verify it, he went back inside the house. After a few minutes, the Dragonspines started trembling again."Was there something wrong with the house?"Feli

During the day, Felix wandered around the town alone and saw several trucks entering. However, he didn't head over to talk. He only watched from a distance.Someone from the headquarters had taken the note he had hidden the night before. Felix couldn't find anything strange during the whole process.…In a city over 31 miles away from Seapoint, Xena was worried after reading the note brought back by the driver.Felix had snuck in, but why was everything getting weirder? Xena couldn't help much now. All she could do was contact Seven and tell him what Felix had said in the letter. "My Dragonspines are trembling, but I don't know why. I cannot contact anyone, too."…Another night passed, and Felix grew more irritable. As long as he was in the house, the Dragonspines didn't stop trembling. Now, he could only hope that his fellow apprentices could find a way to bring him Gerald's explanation.Around 10:00 am, the dogs in his area started barking. Felix went outside and saw a co

Felix remained composed, but his heart sank. There were usually only stray animals in Seapoint during the day. It was impossible to see any human beings in broad daylight.It would've seemed normal if a stranger had stumbled upon the town. However, this was Augustus standing before him."Oh, Mr. Docker! I was just taking a stroll. It gets too boring to stay in the house."Augustus still had a smile on his face. Despite the warm sunshine, Felix felt chills run down his spine."The town has changed a lot in recent years! I'll take you on a proper tour. There are some places that you can't fully appreciate at night."With this invitation, Felix felt like he was left in a tough spot. In fact, he had also guessed the situation. Immediately, he dropped the act and said coldly, "Since it's come to this, let me be frank. I'm a Dragon Knight sent by the headquarters. "Mr. Docker, it's best for you to surrender and confess. Cooperate, and you might be treated more leniently. Otherwise,
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 844
Just as Felix's attack was about to land, there was a muffled sound. All of a sudden, another person appeared beside Augustus.This man was around 30 years old and wore jeans, a white shirt, and a pair of glasses. He easily dissipated the energy that was thrown by Felix."Greetings, my lord!" Augustus fell to the ground, and his expression turned respectful. There was even a hint of fascination in his eyes."What is this? Why did you wake me up?" Augustus quickly pointed at Felix and said, "I'm so sorry, my lord. Someone snuck in! I tried to handle it myself but couldn't hurt him. It seems like he has something protecting his soul."Huh? The man looked at Felix, the surprise clear on his face."How interesting! This is the first time I've met someone who has knowledge in this area. You're quite suited to be my guardian!" he said while laughing.The next moment, the man pointed two index fingers at Felix. "You fool!"A green light flashed, and a four-armed, two-headed monster a

Back in Gray City, Felix was still a little overwhelmed. If it hadn't been for the flute that Billy gave him, he probably would've died in Seapoint that day.However, had he not been sent there, the situation in Seapoint wouldn't have been solved. If it had been another agent who was sent there, they would've been changed and become a part of Seapoint, or they would've died.Felix glanced out the window before deciding to take a shower. All of a sudden, his body trembled, and he quickly looked at the clock on the wall. It was only 4:30 pm.He turned to look outside the window again, and it was pitch black. He thought carefully of when he sat in the living room. The sunlight had been penetrating into the house—so when did it become dark?"Such a weak man. Are you even worthy of having the true Dragonspine?" There was a sudden voice behind Felix, and all the lights in the house were unexpectedly turned on. Another man appeared on the couch where Felix had been sitting prior.It wa
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 846
After Felix hung up the phone, the bitterness on his face grew. Since he had merged with the sixth Dragonspine and had shown his power in Astoria, even Selmer from Elders' Council took the initiative to surrender.That incident had boosted Felix's confidence. However, the unexpected mission at Seapoint and the appearance of the cloaked man brought him back to reality. He still felt helpless.All of a sudden, Wayne from Obsidian Auction called. "Mr. Williams, there's news on the furnace you're looking for." Oh? Finally, Felix felt like he regained his luck. Although he already had the furnace given by Gage, comparing the two wouldn't hurt.Besides, according to the medical book given by Gerald, refining the pills and elixir might cause the furnace to explode. So, it was better for Felix to make sure he had a spare."When shall we meet?""Now! The consignor is extremely cautious and unwilling to head to Obsidian Auction to trade. He has prepared a place for you to meet."The meet

Bob did not say much. He kept wondering if Felix and Wendy were just being polite. He was absolutely certain he would not be exposed. The waiter would never admit to intentionally causing trouble, and no investigation could possibly reveal anything. He might as well keep things as messy as possible. Less than ten minutes passed before Angie arrived. She did not even greet Felix, immediately rushing to the Azure VIP Room with Ian. Felix remained in the main hall. It was past the lunch rush, so the restaurant was almost empty and quiet. Suddenly, Bob heard Felix's voice say, "I won't be here for more than a few days, so you really didn't need to use these tactics." "Mr. Zeller, were you speaking to me?" "You know exactly what I mean. Don't do this again." Felix was not naive. He could tell from how Bob had been helpful in the main hall but went silent in the private room. Something was definitely fishy. But Felix was totally focused on the Malevolent Phantoms now, and he

Just as Felix turned, the bathroom door opened, and a woman walked out. Seeing how the hem of her dress was wet, it was clearly from washing off spilled wine. "Mr. Zeller?" With just a glance, Felix was instantly wordless. Of all people, it was actually Wendy. "Oh, Wendy. What a coincidence!" Seeing Felix in his professional attire, Wendy was stunned. "What are you doing?" "I'm working as a front desk manager at this restaurant." Hearing this, Wendy remembered Felix was currently running important tasks nationwide. So, this made perfect sense. "Since we know each other, let's just drop this. The waiter didn't mean to cause trouble. There's no need to make such a big deal." Franz had already walked over at that moment. But he was shocked to see Wendy knew the front desk manager and was even addressing him so respectfully. "Got it, Mr. Zeller. Sorry for the trouble." Felix nodded and left. Bob followed, but a bad feeling crept into his mind. How did Felix know Franz's

Sally heard the intercom call, too, and her admiration for Bob reached new heights. Everyone in the restaurant knew that for VIP rooms like the Azure Room, customer complaints could not be handled by a front desk manager. Only the general manager—like Ian—could deal with it—and if he couldn't, Angie herself would have to step in.This was clearly Bob's setup. If not, Felix would not have had to go over. Bob had taken advantage of Felix being new and clueless about the rules.But his guts were something else. He was actually sacrificing one or two waiters just to go up against the boss' daughter. Was this really just about a front desk manager position anymore? In the Azure VIP Room, there were only two people by the massive table. A waiter knelt on the floor, body shaking uncontrollably. Just this scene told Felix the guests were definitely high-profile. "Who are you?"The young man with a powerful presence immediately frowned when he saw Felix."Hello, sir. I'm the front des

In the morning, Felix visited the dental clinic where the two women had their teeth cleaned. He found nobody suspicious there. He had already reviewed the relevant videos. They only had a routine teeth cleaning with barely any interaction. Any hope of finding a lead this way was completely crushed. After leaving, he received a call from Angie and rushed to an incredibly luxurious restaurant. "Felix, how about working as a front desk manager here?" she asked.What should have been a simple job offer now felt like she was tentatively seeking his permission. "Sure. But Ms. Sinclair, I have one condition."Angie smiled and said, "Go ahead.""I have some personal matters to deal with here. So, when I need to leave to handle something, I hope I can get time off normally." Angie thought that was nothing. She glanced at the middle-aged man beside her. "No problem. This is the restaurant's general manager, Ian Goodwin. Just give him a call when you want to leave." Ian immediately

Felix raced to a repair shop in Kashmere. Upon reaching the premises, he quickly jumped the fence and entered. According to Chloe, she had been held captive here. She had barely managed to grab a phone and call for help. No one could possibly be interested in her smell, so Felix genuinely hoped the Malevolent Phantom would show up.The moment he entered the yard, all the lights blazed on, turning the place as bright as day. "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry!"Chloe emerged, looking disheveled. Reeco—the man from the barbecue stand—was grabbing her hair. About 20 other guys surrounded Felix with weapons in hand, wearing menacing grins. "Did you think I'd have to visit you myself? Look at you, walking right into our trap!" Felix was utterly disappointed. He'd completely forgotten about these insignificant men, and now, they had wasted his time. "I'm here. Let her go."Surprisingly, Reeco shoved Chloe to the ground and waved his hand. "Get him!" The first man charged with a massiv

Felix nodded and said, "Exactly. Let's investigate quickly." Because of the Malevolent Phantoms, headquarters' main focus was now cases related to them. Regular cases were handed over to law enforcement so personnel could be mobilized incredibly fast. After leaving the scene, Felix went home to wait for the results. At sunset, Marley arrived. "You were right, Mr. Zeller. The young woman with the lingering fragrance definitely had body odor before her death." Felix got excited, reviewing the materials while asking, "Did you guys figure out why they were at the abandoned building?" That was the first crime scene, and Felix was sure of it. The fact that these people would go to such a remote location seemed suspicious. "Yes, we did. They would occasionally record videos about paranormal stuff. They go to scary places, then post online to gain attention and make some extra cash. "They had finished filming at the abandoned building and were probably preparing to leave when the

It had only been one day since the A-tier Malevolent Phantom had last attacked. Was it losing its mind?Felix's face darkened. He didn't say a word. He just stood up and hung up the phone. "Sorry. I've got an urgent matter to handle." Normally, Angie would have thought this was incredibly rude. He had come asking for a favor, yet he was leaving so abruptly. But after what just happened, everything had changed. "Lindsay, did you really not know Dreamscape is Felix's cousin?" Lindsay gave a bitter smile. "Do I look like I know? Even if I did, I'm not the type to go begging for help." Her frustrated smile just deepened Angie's confusion. "Wow, you've just thrown me a major curveball! Felix has a connection like that, and I'm trying to find him a job? It's like teaching a professional chef how to boil water." But Lindsay saw things differently. "Angie, I can't say I know Felix super well. But from our school days and our recent encounters, I can vouch for his character. "The f

Chad and Lindsay were absolutely sure that it was Dreamscape's voice. Felix asked, "Hey, do you know Lindsay?" "Yeah, she's quite good at singing. Her technique is solid, and she nails the emotional delivery. She's got a bright future ahead."Lindsay immediately covered her mouth and cried. If her comment was posted online, it would instantly boost her market value by tenfold or even hundredfold. After all, it was something Dreamscape had said. "So, here's the thing. Lindsay's my old friend, and her real dream is acting. I was wondering if you could help introduce her and help her make that dream happen." Chad was excited. Dreamscape might be just a singer, but her status in the entertainment world was unparalleled. Even a casual comment from her carried massive weight. "Sure, I'll send you my manager's number. Have Lindsay contact him. I'll put in a good word, but tell her not to forget her main gig—she really can sing." "Got it! Thanks, then. Bye!" After hanging up, th

Everyone looked at Felix, their eyes showing different reactions. "Felix, thanks for your good intentions. But sometimes, we just can't make things go the way we want them to." Lindsay quickly tried to smooth things over, knowing Felix meant well. But sometimes, well-meaning lies just would not cut it. Yet, Felix spoke again, "I know someone who can probably solve your current crisis. So, you really don't need to do something you don't want to do." Chad could not hold back anymore. He wondered what kind of friend Felix was to talk big so casually. "Listen up, you brat! The worst thing you can learn in life is bragging. For every lie you tell, you'll need a hundred to cover it up. Got it? "Stop giving Lindsay false hope. You're just making things worse." Angie frowned, too. Though she knew Felix meant well, how could this possibly help? "I wonder if Dreamscape could solve your problem." Dreamscape? The two who were about to leave turned back, their eyes filled with dis
