Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection: Kabanata 1681 - Kabanata 1690

Panicking, Felix hung up the phone and then turned to Yuliana. "Quick! Hide in the bathroom!"Yuliana, however, scoffed at the idea. "Why should I? What's there to hide?"Felix questioned her intelligence then. How could she not get something so basic?"Come on, woman! If Quentin finds out you're in my place, what do you think he's going to do to me? If you don't hide, I'm out of here!"She thought it over and realized he had a point. For the sake of Felix's medical skills, Yuliana reluctantly agreed and hid in the bathroom.Just as Felix opened the door, Lennon arrived with two bags in tow. "These are from Quentin. Felix, if you stick with him, you won't be treated badly. Let's go."After dropping the stuff off, Lennon grabbed Felix and started pulling him out the door. However, after only a few steps, he suddenly said, "Wait, I gotta pee real quick. Let me use your bathroom before we go."Hell no! Felix stopped him immediately."Bathroom's broken. The toilet backs up, so it

The woman was Linden's god-granddaughter? That was interesting.Felix rubbed his chin and grinned. "How are you going to prove that you're Linden's god-granddaughter?"At that, her expression softened. She figured she was in the clear now. On Visiora, regular people might not know who Linden was, but anyone with even a bit of influence definitely did. It appeared that her gamble paid off.However, she hesitated."My photonic wristband was damaged during the fight. If you take me somewhere specific, I'll be able to contact him from there."She had also noticed that Felix didn't seem to have a wristband. Hence, she figured he probably had a communications chip implanted instead. Either way, cold-calling Linden from an unknown device wasn't going to work, much less verify anything.Truthfully, Felix didn't have a direct line to Linden either. Just like she said, contact could only be made at certain places. It was a security measure against the Ruin Order.After a moment's thought,

The next day, there was no sign of Quentin at the clinic. Only Lennon and another guy were around, and the moment they saw Felix, their expressions lit up with flattery. Both of them kept calling out to him.Felix didn't care for any of it. His focus was solely on becoming stronger. He needed to be strong enough to stand on equal footing with the Ruin Order, or at least to move freely without constantly fearing for his life.…Meanwhile, Scorpia had just arrived on Visiora. As she'd expected, the place was no longer united as one. Outwardly, they still maintained a front of solidarity, but when it came to personal gain, no one was willing to miss an opportunity.For instance, the middle-aged man sitting across from her was currently one of the fastest-rising figures on the planet. With a prestigious family background and formidable strength of his own, he'd already reached the Domain Realm. He was none other than Jacob, the current chief of Visiora. He was also the one the Ruin O

Yuliana's eyes sparkled, and her mind worked quickly."Alright, I'll agree, but I have one condition. I want to watch the treatment as it happens.""Suit yourself," Felix replied.He wasn't doing this out of the goodness of his heart or a desire to meddle. The real reason was the faint trace of soul energy he sensed from the man's dark brown skin. He just wanted to figure out what it was.After making up an excuse along the way, Felix asked Jasmine for some time off and then headed to the woman's house. It wasn't far at all, which explained why she had gone straight to Lucian."Ms. Swift, can he really cure my husband?" the woman asked, surprised when she saw Felix. He just looked too young."Yes," Yuliana replied. "He and my grandfather share the same mentor. And he's even better than my grandfather. Don't believe me?"Sure enough, Lucian's reputation still carried weight. Hearing that, the woman no longer dared to question anything and quickly led them to the bedroom.Felix b

While following that strange sensation, Felix made his way to the heart of Snake Island.He'd already been to that spot several times, and the only thing remotely unusual was a bottomless pit shrouded in darkness. He couldn't see anything inside, so he had know idea what was down there.This time, to his surprise, soul energy was actually emanating from the pit. The closer he got, the stronger the energy became."This must be the place where that guy got infected," Felix muttered.He could sense that the drifting soul energy carried a peculiar fragrance, and it was now trying to invade his body.It wasn't attacking his soul, but rather targeting his physical body, which was definitely strange.Felix didn't plan to jump in and investigate. His current strength still left a lot to be desired. Who knew what was lurking below? It would be a huge loss if he went down and couldn't get back up."Let's see if I can absorb it," he thought.He immediately activated the Phaeron Codex, cha
