All Chapters of The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

"What?" Belle was shocked. Even Xena turned to look, but Belle was too focused to care now. "Are you sure?" she demanded. "I'm certain! A middle-aged man carried Joshua out the back door over his shoulder. I'm sure he was already lifeless. Judging by how his head was hanging, his neck was likely snapped." The Phoenix Legion had no shortage of experts. The person Belle sent was also a martial artist who was fully capable of sensing a normal person's breathing. There was no chance of a mistake. "Who was in the room at the time?" "Felix, Joshua, that middle-aged man, and Lord Kane, who was the last to enter." Taking a deep breath, Belle hung up and immediately reported everything to Xena. "Milady, I suspect that the middle-aged man is Joshua's uncle. But how did Joshua die?" Xena furrowed her brows. "Is it possible Lord Kane killed him? Though that seems too brazen, unlike his style."Belle strongly agreed with that point, as she knew a secret. "Milady, I can guarantee it was

Felix had not expected Ted and Perry to be meeting with Yvonne, but that was no longer important now.Ted's face darkened at Felix's sudden appearance. Cooperation with Stellar Group was a big deal. While their connections ensured it would not fall through, upsetting the president would certainly be bad. Besides, Ted had plans to pursue Yvonne, so Felix's intrusion would be humiliating."Felix! Don't you dare play the victim! Come outside with me." Ted walked over hastily. Perry put on a smile and said, "Ms. Cooper, please pay this no mind. It's just a minor conflict between young people." Yvonne nodded, curious about how Felix kept antagonizing these important figures. Did he really have such capability? She had intervened with Joshua, but what about the Glover family? Anyone who could contact their chairman was certainly of no simple character.Ted was relieved when Felix followed him out. Arguing in the private room would have damaged his image and embarrassed Perry. "Are

At Tabiner Bay, Felix sat in the courtyard of his villa as if he were waiting for someone. His phone rang. It was Kane. "Mr. Zeller, Daniel just called. He said Belle came to ask him about last night's incident in the gala room. He told her Joshua died of a sudden heart attack and didn't reveal your identity." Felix knew someone was watching outside—someone Belle likely sent. Joshua's death could not be kept secret forever, as it would eventually reach Xena. This was why Felix had not immediately driven Daniel out of Avesburgh.Others' words might be useless, but Daniel was the chief of Dragon Alliance's Disciplinary Hall. His status spoke for itself. Belle would at most ask a few questions and would not dare verify personally. So, Joshua's matter was easily settled. "Tell Daniel to call Belle back and say this..." "Understood, Mr. Zeller." Felix was not one to always hide things. Sometimes, what had to be done should be done—just like Ted's death now. Xena's side surely h

Xena gave a deadline of three days. She clearly wanted to test whether Felix had any real connection to Daniel or if he was genuinely a member of Dragon Alliance."Milady, you don't believe Felix is a member of Dragon Alliance?"Upon hearing Belle's question, Xena looked over and immediately sensed something off."Are you serious? You're my deputy, yet you're concerned about a member of Dragon Alliance? Why are you still so easily shaken?"Belle froze, carefully pondering the meaning behind those words."Whether he is or not is secondary. We'll know in three days. Let's deal with it then."After Xena left, Ernest came to the courtyard."Felix, things are so lively here! And all your guests are big names, too."Felix could only smile bitterly."Please, don't tease me."Sitting down, Ernest laughed. "With your reputation as a skillful doctor, even someone like Xena will eventually fall for you."Felix shook his head and sighed. "My mentor always taught me to follow my conscien

When Jack returned, Felix could see that he was conflicted. Clearly, he truly loved Trina. Otherwise, he wouldn't be acting like this."I've thought about it. I want to give her another chance. I'll find some time and talk to her again.""Alright. Do whatever you feel is right. I'm always here if you need me."At that moment, Felix's phone rang. It was Kane."Felix, we found the old man."Previously, Kane had mentioned that there was an old man in a village on the outskirts of Avesburgh who possessed the rare herb, Shimmeroot. But even after offering ten million dollars in cash, the old man wouldn't budge, claiming it was a family heirloom.Felix had planned to visit the old man after dealing with Ted, but the man had disappeared. He had asked Kane to station people to watch the area, but they lost track of him. Now, unexpectedly, they had news again."Where is he?""You won't believe it. This old man actually owns a villa in Azure Residences. He's inside now, which explains
