The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 843
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,

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

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

The old man stood there with a sincere smile. It made Felix upset. Why didn't the old man attack him? He felt weirded out by it.The man burst out laughing. "I was just kidding, so don't take it so seriously. Of course, I won't sell such a treasure for ten million dollars!"With that, Felix heaved a sigh of relief. Yes, this seemed to be on the right track."I heard from Mr. Sutcliff from Obsidian Auction that you have superb medical skills. Such an opportunity is worth a lot of money, so the ten million dollars is an honest deal. However, I would have to add your favor to the deal. How about that?"So, that was it. Felix immediately agreed, "Deal!"Once the transaction was agreed upon, the old man waited for Felix to claim the furnace with his blood. Then, the two exchanged a few words before leaving.On the way back, Felix was the one driving while Selmer sat in the passenger seat. Selmer sat looking puzzled. "No one is following us! Mr. Zeller, to be honest, this might be

"I've made up my mind. Let's not talk about it anymore. I'll have lunch with you all at noon, and then, I'll leave," Felix stated.Just as he finished speaking, Billy walked in. "I heard you're leaving?" Felix glanced at Nala, who stood by the door. He guessed that it was Nala who told Billy."Yes. Join us for lunch." Billy sighed. "Well, lunch is fine. But you look horrible. Are you sure you want to leave?"Felix's expression darkened immediately. After what happened in Seapoint, he was really worried when Billy said that he looked horrible. "Don't be so nonsensical," Felix said. Billy shook his head with a sigh. "Forget it. You'll regret it if you don't listen to your old friend. The cause and effect are hard to say. Anyway, I've advised you, so I'm no longer responsible for anything."With that, Felix didn't know how to react before finally calling Billy back with a sigh. "What if I don't leave?"Billy turned around with a chuckle. "See? When you said you don't want to

"I'm sorry, but this isn't a Patek Philippe membership card," the salesman said after looking at the card. He gave Felix a look of disdain. Was Felix making fun of him because of his kindness?However, the middle-aged man's expression changed quickly. He immediately said, "This is the Concord Bank Diamond Card. Hurry up and get your manager over here."What? The Diamond Card of Concord Bank? The salesman rushed off in a hurry. On the side, the man's wife's expression turned into shock. She never would've thought that Felix could actually take out a Diamond Card from Concord Bank. That was definitely a symbol of status. When she thought of how she acted toward him, she felt a little scared."I'm so sorry, sir. My wife didn't know. I hope you can forgive us for offending you earlier."To be honest, the man had cold sweat running down his back. Fortunately, he acted kindly. Otherwise, he would be in big trouble."It's alright. Thank you for your explanation." Felix didn't want

"How about this? I'll give you an answer in a few days' time, okay?" Yasmin didn't dare to question him any more. Since her issue wasn't particularly urgent, she left.After she left, Felix couldn't hold back and immediately began trying to refine the elixir.…After a full night, Felix looked at the pills in his hand. He had a strange expression on his face. Gerald's notes in the medical book mentioned that alchemy was as difficult as going to heaven and wasn't an overnight's work. Besides, he should not be discouraged.But what was the situation now? He had just started, and the success rate was amazing. Except for the first failed pill, all his other trials were successful."Forget it. I'll wait for Mr. Hoffman to contact me, and I'll ask him, then."…Another day passed, and by noon, Felix returned home from the clinic because Xena had come by.In fact, he had been expecting her. The mysterious man had been taken away by the headquarters. Felix figured that after a few

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
Chapter 1199
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
Chapter 1197
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

Angie did not show any look of disdain to Felix, and she seemed like a nice woman. Felix replied, "You're right, Ms. Sinclair. I'll remember that." Just then, Lindsay arrived, and the atmosphere immediately became more lively. "Hey, one's my high school friend, and the other is my college friend. What a rare moment! Cheers!" After a while, Angie asked, "Lindsay, how's your entertainment career going?" Lindsay pouted. "Not great. Without a big-shot mentor as a middleman, breaking into two fields is tough. You know how it is." Angie looked sympathetic and helpless, sighing. "I can't really help with that. My dad might know some people in entertainment, but your fame is actually bigger than mine." Hearing this, Felix asked, "So, you want to do movies and TV?" Lindsay nodded. "Yeah, that's actually my dream. How fulfilling would that be to make a few films with great reviews? They might be remembered for hundreds of years! "Music's okay, but it's just sounds without a face.

Felix asked, "Is your boss a Malevolent Phantom?" Hearing this, Reeco sneered. "Are you regretting what you've done? Too bad now. It won't help. But if you kneel and knock your head on the ground a few times, I might consider letting you go." A crisp sound rang out. Both young men collapsed to the ground while clutching one of their arms in pain, which was clearly broken. "Go ahead and send that Malevolent Phantom after me." Felix had figured it out. Whatever Malevolent Phantom they were talking about was probably just somebody's nickname. No actual Malevolent Phantom would be this brazen. Those Phantoms knew exactly how officials referred to them ever since they existed on this planet. Acting like this would be suicide. …The next day, Felix received a call from Marley at 10:00 am. "Mr. Zeller, the supplementary investigation is complete."Felix immediately perked up. This could determine the entire investigation's direction. "Were any of the dead victims known to have

Felix said, "Maybe you should check out this video." Chloe was scared at first and was ready to scream for her friends. But when she saw her friends in the video, curiosity got the best of her, and she kept watching. As those nasty comments hit her ears, she saw the pure disgust in their eyes. Finally, she broke down. "You never really know people. It's best to just walk away from these young men." Chloe fought back tears as she glanced at the two young men, who were still chatting away. She muttered a quick thanks before heading in the opposite direction. Felix followed her and said, "I'm a traditional medicine practitioner. I can cure your body odor." What? Chloe looked totally shocked. As someone dealing with body odor, she knew how impossible it was to treat the condition. But her guard went up instantly. "I don't even know you. Stop following me." She knew better than to believe in free services from strangers. Even though Felix had just helped her, who knew what h
Chapter 1193
Felix's nose picked up that nasty smell. Even with all that perfume, the stink was impossible to miss. He zeroed in on a good-looking woman in her 20s, who was sitting with two guys and chowing down on barbecue. She looked like she was part of the group, but her eyes gave away her total lack of confidence. He snapped a quick photo and turned to Lindsay, who was already enjoying a fresh plate of barbecue. "You probably shouldn't eat too much. Aren't you afraid of putting on weight?" Lindsay just let out a devilish chuckle. "I'm one of those lucky people who never gain weight. My manager's just worried I'll wreck my voice. Most singers won't touch spicy food, and some won't even eat anything crunchy. "They're scared of some freak accident, but I couldn't care less." After Felix ordered some food, Lindsay finally felt satisfied with all the food she had. "I'm not going to let you buy me dinner for free. Come have lunch with me tomorrow. I've got a college buddy in Kashmere. She'
Chapter 1192
After Marley finished her call, Felix asked, "Had the victim only visited one dental clinic?" "Yes, throughout the two years she lived in Kashmere, her medical records show only this single dental clinic." She had only gone for a teeth cleaning. Felix continued reviewing the file but found no other suspicious details. Was this really connected to body odor? Even he was becoming uncertain. Felix remembered an incident from his past when he was accompanying Gerald to a village. They had found an elderly person recently deceased. He was lying on a mat in the yard while emanating a peculiar fragrance. Gerald had commented that the human body was mysterious, with some unexplainable phenomena. Could this woman's death be categorized the same way? Felix left the headquarters. Wandering aimlessly through the streets, his mind was a tangled mess. If every supernatural killing case proceeded like this, investigation would be incredibly challenging. Eventually, the smell of barbecue
