Semua Bab The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection: Bab 121 - Bab 130

Felix stood at the entrance of an alley at around 7:00 pm with a confused look.He stood at the location Sasha had given him, but no matter how much he looked around, the place didn't seem like there would be a restaurant there."Felix."In less than a minute, Sasha appeared."Is the restaurant here?" Felix asked.Sasha answered with a smile, "Yes, there's a fondue restaurant here that's been around for years. The food is really good."Fondue? Felix wasn't going to question it. It didn't matter what they ate. He'd be grateful as long as Sasha would stop bothering him.As they turned the corner into the alley, the fragrant aroma of food hit them, instantly increasing his appetite.There was indeed a fondue restaurant nestled in the alley. There was even a line of people waiting to be seated at the entrance."Don't we need to line up?" Felix was puzzled when he saw Sasha walk right in."No need. I've known the owner for a long time and reserved a table ahead of time."The rest

They were Kane's men? Felix slapped the burly man, sending him straight to the ground."The rest of you, clean this place up quietly. Otherwise, don't expect to leave here unharmed."There was no way they were actually Kane's men—his men would have recognized Felix. If they were indeed Kane's men, they would be fools.Felix's smack didn't seem all that frightening, but how he broke the bat was so intimidating that the remaining men quickly started cleaning up the place.A few moments later, they stood in the garden, none daring to meet Felix's gaze."Who sent you?"At that moment, a car abruptly pulled up at the gate, and a few armed men got out."There's been a report of an assault here. Everyone, stay where you are, and don't move!"As if their saviors had arrived, the thugs all pointed at Felix."It was him!""That's right! He attacked us for no reason. We don't even know if our friend is dead or alive."The guns were quickly pointed at Felix. The leader then made a hand

The anxious and hesitant Belle couldn't help but take the risk and ask, "Milady, w-why has Mr. Holt Senior suddenly come to the Phoenix Legion base?""He's here to see Colonel Bradley Sutton. It turns out that Bradley's grandfather was Mr. Holt Senior's comrade-in-arms. I just found out about this as well."Belle instantly felt a great sense of relief, like the weight on her shoulders had suddenly been lifted.She had been terrified moments ago, thinking Ernest came specifically because of Felix, which would have caused a major problem.Not long after, a car slowly pulled up, and Ernest stepped out with his bodyguard, Jairo Acosta.Not only did Xena and Belle rush forward to greet Ernest, but a sharp-eyed middle-aged man also approached.That man was none other than Bradley Sutton, a highly influential figure and a colonel in the Phoenix Legion."Mr. Holt Senior!"Seeing Bradley's salute, Ernest said with a smile, "I'm retired now. No need for salutes."Bradley's eyes were fil

Belle was instantly displeased by what Felix said."Felix Zeller! Don't push your luck. To err is human. Besides, Lady Summers came personally because of the mistakes of her subordinates. What more do you want?"Seeing how Belle, who had someone else take the fall, was still so arrogant, Felix couldn't help but laugh out of sheer anger."Shut it!" Xena reprimanded before turning to Felix."I do owe you an apology for this. I take full responsibility for not providing proper leadership. Those involved will be handled per the law as well. Now, tell me—what is your condition?"Ernest was still at the base. Was Felix going to ask for him to come and remove the handcuffs himself?If that happened, Xena's future would be completely tarnished. This matter could either worsen into a big deal or become something trivial, but releasing Felix was the best thing to do for now."It's easy. In the future, when I go to visit Mr. Summers Senior, you must not stop me."Was that it? Xena had eve

Upon witnessing such a scene, the people in the bar fled in fright."What is the meaning of this?"Jack frowned. He didn't understand why their table was the only one that wasn't allowed to leave. Trina moved closer to him, clearly terrified."They're probably here for me. You guys should leave first."Felix stood up and walked toward the man in black as he spoke. "They have nothing to do with this. I'll stay."The man in black sneered, but he didn't try to give them a hard time. His men immediately cleared a path for them."What the hell are you saying? How can I leave at a time like this? Trina, you should go."Jack, following behind Felix, cursed before shoving Trina toward the exit.They had been close friends for years. He could not leave Felix alone in such an obviously terrible situation."Jack, I can handle this. Trust me, okay? Besides, Trina's here; her safety should be your top priority."Ignoring the look Felix was giving him, Jack forcefully pushed Trina away wit
