The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 64
Belle said, "This is Inferno we're talking about, ma'am. If the headquarters has sent an Asura over to help, it's clear that Inferno is much scarier than Nocturno. You…"Xena held up a hand, her expression grim. "Don't say such pessimistic things! I didn't get to where I am today by pulling funny tricks and hiding from danger. We'll immediately start setting up our defenses when the Asura gets here. Inferno might show up at any moment.""Yes, ma'am!" Then, Belle thought of something. "Milady, we'll be using the villa at Tabiner Bay as our defense base, and Felix is the owner. What should we…"A trace of disdain flitted past Xena's face. "All irrelevant people have to be cleared out when the Phoenix Legion is conducting its business. So what if it's Felix? Issue him a notice—that's good enough!"…Felix received another call from Sasha that evening. "Come to Club Neuf. I've arrived earlier because I have something to do, so someone else will meet you at the entrance. I want you out
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 65
Sasha looked like the promiscuous type, but she knew just where to draw the line. She knew it was important to remain chaste until marriage, so she'd never crossed the line. Even when dating playboys, she hadn't gone to fourth base with them. She would never have allowed them to take her away.And so, Saul's sudden attack had scared her. If Ted had made it clear that this was the price she had to pay to take Felix down, she would never have agreed to it."Let me go! Help!" she screamed.At the same time, Felix arrived at the private room that Sasha had told him about. He ignored the two bodyguards standing outside and looked at Ted. The latter pretended to be surprised. "What are you doing here, Felix?"In truth, he was delighted. Everything was going according to plan."Fuck off!" Felix wasn't interested in knowing what Ted was up to. The fact that he could still walk around like a normal person was only because he was Xena's relative."What makes you think you can act so obnoxi
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 66
"Whatever," Felix said, feeling exasperated. Sasha was probably the first person he'd ever met who would resent the person who'd saved her."You can't refute me, can you? Anyway, think about how long it took you to arrive after I told you to come! If you'd arrived earlier, you could've drank with Mr. Barton on my behalf. None of this would've even happened!" Sasha snapped.Felix knew martial arts and seemed to be quite good in a fight—if Ivan's words could be trusted. Yet, in the end, he'd let Saul off the hook just like that. Sasha didn't believe Felix would've allowed the matter to slide so easily if the woman he loved had been in her situation.They finally arrived at the Quinton residence. Warren and Nattie were home, and Felix had completed his mission. Thus, he said, "I'm leaving, Uncle Warren.""Alright. Drive safe."Sasha burst into tears almost as soon as Felix was gone. Warren hurried over to her, his heartache clear. "What's wrong, Sasha?""I was almost raped, Dad,"

Xena had actually ordered Felix to stay away from his villa for a whole week. Who was she joking? Why did he have to get her permission to stay in his own house? She was abusing her power, wasn't she?Seemingly expecting Felix to react like this, Belle said frostily, "Look closely, Felix! This is a military order. If you refuse to comply, we can arrest you and lock you up for a week—your villa will still end up empty. The choice is yours."Felix looked at the regulatory permit. He couldn't deny that Xena had indeed signed the permit in her capacity as a goddess of war. It was also stamped with the Phoenix Legion's official stamp. If he were to go against them, he wouldn't even be able to lodge a complaint."Fine, then. I'll do as you say." Felix left, feeling a little mad at himself. Why did he have to get mad at a woman? He could've just agreed to do as Xena ordered and secretly returned if he wanted. No one would notice him, let alone stop him.He figured that his villa wasn't

Ironhulk looked at his subordinate. "Go and drag Sasha Quinton to the dog farm. Since this Felix Zeller is so powerful, I'd like to see whether he can save her twice."…Two hours later, sometime past 1:00 am, Felix appeared at Kane's house."I'm so sorry to disturb you at this hour, Mr. Zeller. I should've been the one to go to you," Kane said, looking distressed. Felix himself had mentioned that Kane could contact him anytime if he had news on the herbs.So, he'd called Felix upon returning from his trip to another city. He'd suggested heading over to Felix's villa, but the latter had said he would come over instead.Felix said, "It's not too convenient to meet at my place for the time being."How could they discuss anything if he couldn't even turn the lights on at his villa? He didn't want to have anything to do with Xena before Curtis woke up. Sasha was already enough trouble for him. "Did you really get the things?"Kane nodded and had someone bring them two bunches of her
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 69
Felix's brows were tightly furrowed on the journey to Hairot Dog Farm. "Why did you bring so many guns along?"Kane hurriedly explained, "Ironhulk is in the business of arms and weaponry, Mr. Zeller. He has many men reporting to him and a whole lot of guns. He's considered important in Avesburgh's underground circles. He might not dare to challenge me, but we do need to keep ourselves safe from him."Felix's expression turned odd. "You're afraid of mere guns?"Kane smiled bitterly. Only then did it occur to him who Felix really was. "I apologize, Mr. Zeller. I overstepped my boundaries."…Sasha was bound to a chair in the courtyard of Hairot Dog Farm. She no longer had tears to shed, and she was so terrified that she kept mumbling to herself. "This has nothing to do with me, I swear. Felix is the one behind this. Please, let me go."Ironhulk glared at her from his seat nearby. "Say another word, and I'll have my men take you inside."Sasha immediately shut up. Her hatred for Fe

Felix felt resigned as he looked at the scene before him. He didn't want Kane to make an appearance. He'd only brought the latter along just in case. It looked like it would be hard to get Sasha, who was fully conscious, out of here without things getting bloody.Meanwhile, Sasha's fear and horror had turned to despair at the sight of all the guns. To any regular individual, seeing a gun was about the scariest thing that could happen to them. She knew that Felix was dead meat, which also meant she was doomed.Suddenly, she regretted everything. She wouldn't have met Saul if not for her agreeing to help Ted take Felix down, and none of this would've happened.At that moment, Felix snapped his fingers. Someone got out of the Range Rover's driver's seat. Ironhulk's expression changed drastically when he saw who it was. "L-Lord Kane?"Kane stood beside Felix and said coldly, "You've got guts, Ironhulk. How dare you try to pick on my distant relative? Even I have to address him as Mr.
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 71
Warren's roar was just as Felix imagined. After all, Sasha had been abducted by Ironhulk in the middle of the night. How could her family be unbothered?"Uncle Warren, Sasha's safe. I'm sending her home now," Felix said."I'll be waiting!" Warren boomed. Felix could tell that Warren was genuinely furious this time. Felix also clearly knew that Sasha had been abducted precisely because of him.When they arrived at Silverwood, Nattie was in tears. "Sasha!"Felix placed Sasha on the couch and said, "She's fine. She just passed out."At least Sasha wasn't tortured—this was the only thing that reassured Felix."You animal! Get lost! You're nothing but trouble, and you've even dragged our family into this. Warren and I were beaten up, and all you did was a simple bandage job. Get out of here!" Nattie demanded.Felix said nothing in reply. He only approached Warren while gazing at him. "Tell me honestly. How have I treated you?" Warren asked."You've treated me as your godson, Uncle

If Felix behaved like a scaredy cat in the Rank-Ascending Competition, he would definitely lose it. "Will she take revenge on me if I reject her?" Felix askedJulius chuckled. "Looks like you've made up your mind. Chelsea is a cold and aloof person, and she doesn't really interact with people. However, she isn't so petty that she will bear a grudge against someone just because she was rejected.""That's great, then," Felix thought to himself. He felt bitter too, and it wasn't because of fear. It was just that he had to deal with Star Alliance's arrangement and keep his guard up against the Orion family's shady tricks. Both of these were taxing enough for him. If he had to face Chelsea as well, it would be too much for him. That said, Felix had to give it to Chelsea for being punctual. She showed up at the same time the next day."Have you thought it over?" she asked.Felix responded, "I'm sorry, but I can't reveal my mobility technique to you."Chelsea turned around and le
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1577
The lady must've gotten a screw loose or something. Martial arts practice, combat techniques, and mobility techniques were private secrets that nobody would possibly reveal. How could she just ask for it as if it wasn't a big deal?Fortunately, Felix was patient and good-tempered. Moreover, the authorities had zero tolerance for all forms of fighting at this place. Otherwise, he just might've slapped her right where she stood."Excuse me, but I refused to divulge this information," Felix said.The lady frowned and shot Felix a look as if he was the one who didn't know what was good for him. "You are friends with Julius. That means you probably know that the Orion family intended to take you out of the picture. "The preliminary rounds were the only chance they had to cheat within the boundaries of the rules. Do you actually think you'll be alive to compete in it and prevail? "Just tell me your mobility technique, and I can guarantee that you'll make it through in one piece. But
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1576
There was still a big gap between Felix and the Minotaur after he initiated Lone Paragon, but it would at least give him a fighting chance. "A Celestial Realm Minotaur, huh? Great. You'll be the force that propels me to greater heights."…Three days came and went. Julius and Xenon were in a massage parlor, enjoying its top-notch service. "Geez. It looks like Felix really did go away to cultivate and hone his skills." Julius knew why Xenon said what he said. If a Minotaur had died, blood would streak down the gate of the Prison of Blood. That was usually the telltale sign.When all kinds of realms existed, the gate had never been clean because blood constantly flowed down it. Now, however, it had become a rare phenomenon. They had arranged their men to keep an eye on the gate. Naturally, they were certain that the Minotaurs were still alive and well. "I've finally understood something. Felix came from Earth, the savage planet. It was very impressive how he cut down all ene
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1575
Julius was speechless because Felix didn't seem to be joking—he looked serious."Hey! Are you even listening to me? The lowest level ones in there are Celestial Realm Minotaurs. Are you sure you want to go in and suffer? If you really are killed by Minotaurs, no one will rescue you."Felix laughed. "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. I have techniques that can go against opponents like the Minotaurs. While there's still time, I'll practice well."And just like that, Felix directly entered the Prison of Blood. Julius was speechless. They weren't close, so it wasn't his place to comment. Soon, the news of Felix entering the Prison of Blood spread, and everyone who had arrived here got the news. "Entering the Prison of Blood? Are you trying to prove yourself, or are you trying to pressure me?" Lachlan muttered to himself. His expression was calm, and even his gaze didn't falter."Even if he could really kill Celestial Realm Minotaurs, so what? After all, they're merely beasts wit
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1574
"The Aetherium Realm? With the breakthrough from Aquamarinus, that guy seemed to have the potential to win." Yusri sneered."Hahaha! So what? The preliminary round is going to be his grave. He dared to massacre my bloodline, so even if the Earth was destroyed, what would it have to do with me?"…An hour later, Julius was dragged somewhere in the yard by Felix. "What is this place for? Why didn't the guide tell me about this?" Felix asked.Not far ahead, there stood a huge iron door. Felix didn't know what was inside, but there was a sign hanging above the entrance that read, "The Prison of Blood".Julius smacked his forehead. "I forgot to tell you! I knew you would see this sooner or later, but the Prison of Blood isn't a good place. You should stay far away from it."Felix rolled his eyes and pulled him along. "Do you think this is a good place? Tell me about it."Julius could only helplessly continue, "An elder of Star Alliance created the Prison of Blood. The prisoners ins

Felix frowned. It seemed like the Orions were really going all out this time."Was it very serious?" he asked.Yusri nodded solemnly. "Yes, they crossed the line this time and are on thin ice with the rules. You should know that the Orions are determined to invade Earth this time. If they lose the competition, they will fall in the rankings. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they're desperate…"With that, Yusri said, "There are many things I can't tell you. Otherwise, I'll be going against the rules. But I wanted to ask, what realm have you reached in your soul cultivation?"Despite coming from the same planet, there was no way Felix could completely trust him. He replied immediately, "The Aetherium Realm."The expression on Yusri's face changed, and then he burst out laughing."The Aetherium Realm! Felix, you're such a surprise. I don't need to ask about your martial strength. I can feel that you've practiced the Dragons Destroyer, which means you've reached Extreme Mas

"Of course, you're right. All the personal assistants of the chiefs always wear the same burgundy clothes. She was most likely sent to create some buzz around Felix. Fortunately, he asked about it just now."Otherwise, when she showed up, we wouldn't have known what was happening," Xenon told Julius.On the other hand, Felix had no idea about all that. He just followed the lady with his head down. However, he noticed how elegant the lady in front of him was, with her burgundy tights and the sway of her hips just at the right rhythm.After arriving in front of a room, the woman stood by the door. "Head right in."Felix entered and found no one inside. Just as he was about to say something, there was a noise and footsteps. Soon, a man wrapped in a towel came out as he dried his hair."Oh, you're here. Come, have a seat."The man appeared to be in his 50s, with well-defined muscles. Felix thought it was someone from Star Alliance and that everyone might be getting private talks like
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1571
Julius and Xenon turned to each other, confused. "No, a name is too little to work with. Even just on your planet, there are too many people with the same name, not to mention the entire universe," they said.Felix knew that he was being vague. "That Yusri, he's like me. He's from Earth, and he once won third in the Rank-Ascending Competition."Julius immediately smiled when he heard this. "Well, that's great then. Not only do we know the Yusri you mentioned, but many people know him!"Xenon sighed. "Yes, Yusri is quite a brilliant person. He was against really strong people during the competition. Otherwise, he would've won that year."So they knew of him. Felix thought about it before deciding that asking wouldn't hurt. "Well, Yusri is now the chief of Star Alliance. He has a bright future ahead," Xenon said. When he realized that Felix might not understand, he added, "In Star Alliance, the Leader is the highest rank. After that, we have the deputy leaders, then the elders.
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1570
It would be a lie if Felix said he wasn't touched. He was actually one of the crowd favorites in the competition. This wasn't something he would've ever dared to think about before.After a few glasses of wine, he followed Julius to the massage parlor. Felix felt truly enlightened when he saw what was there—there were really beautiful women in the parlor, all from different races.Some had wings on their backs, some had elven ears. There really was everyone here. "Do you want a private room, or are we sharing a room?" Julius's eyes shone mischievously, and Felix sighed helplessly."Let's share a room, or do you want a private room?"Julius pouted. "I've been here for several days and feel a little tired. As I've guessed, you're probably the type who loves only one woman in life. So sure, let's share a room. Let's get a triple room."A triple room? Felix didn't ask any more questions. Two women were assigned to their rooms, and their techniques were indeed great. People with thei
