Semua Bab The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection: Bab 1691 - Bab 1700

Just then, someone burst into the room."Sir, we found something suspicious. A week ago, the port manager, Zacchaeus Marshall, was suddenly transferred to the Internal Affairs Division. But today, he was reassigned again to the Secretariat Division. "Zacchaeus doesn't come from an influential family. He worked his way up on his own, but that kind of rapid promotion in just a week is a bit too much, don't you think?"Jacob rubbed his chin thoughtfully. The Internal Affairs Division was under Linden's control. It was an infamously difficult department to get into. He had tried pulling strings to place someone there before, but Linden shut it down without hesitation.If Zacchaeus really had been working in Internal Affairs, then there was good reason to suspect that Linden was the one backing Felix. However, Zacchaeus was suddenly moved to the Secretariat Division today. That department was under Linus Wackley, one of the ten most powerful figures on Visiora. It only made the sit

Even if Felix was talented enough to fight above his level, this was a nightmare beyond nightmares."You absolutely cannot make a move. If you do, even I won't be able to protect you," Jacob told Scorpia.It was no joke. If someone at Scorpia's level made even the slightest move, the King of Visiora and several others would instantly sense it. At that point, neither she nor Jacob would have a chance to explain. They would receive the death penalty immediately."Go, Skye. Bring back Felix's corpse."Skye shot her a charming smile before vanishing completely.They'd paid a heavy price for this operation. Since Felix had been located, they had to strike hard and fast. The guy had even managed to draw in the Etherstorm. Honestly, if they'd sent a martial artist of the ninth level of Royal Mastery Realm, Scorpia wouldn't have felt confident.Though the gap between the ninth level of Royal Mastery Realm and Felix was supposed to be huge, she had decided to deploy someone from Domain Re

The soul energy wasn't ordinary. It was aggressive. Felix had already gotten a solid understanding of it during his time on Snake Island.Instead of being afraid, he was thrilled. The Phaeron Codex could absorb this type of aggressive soul energy. To him, it was like a gourmet feast.…Meanwhile, things were quite the opposite for Skye, the Domain Realm expert who was also wrapped in darkness and falling rapidly."What the hell is this place? Why won't this darkness go away?"Skye frowned tightly. This was the first time she had encountered something like this. She couldn't extend her senses in the slightest, so Felix's whereabouts were a complete mystery.Still, given there was only one entrance, she figured Felix was probably going through the same thing she was.Just as she was starting to get bored, her expression suddenly changed. Strange soul energy was appearing. However, it was not attacking her spirit directly but her body instead."Humph! Whatever monster you are, onc

By all logic, if Skye had burned through half her soul energy, then Felix should've used up the same. However, she had a feeling that he still had more left than she did.Gritting her teeth, Skye stayed silent and unleashed every powerful technique she had.With her strength as a Domain Realm expert, crushing Felix should've been effortless. Who could've expected this to turn into a soul-based battle? She didn't dare lose focus for even a second."You'll be the first member of the Ruin Order I kill. And trust me. There will be many more after you."Just as Felix was about to strike the finishing blow, a voice echoed through the room, "Well, isn't this interesting? Two people dropped in at the same time. A man and a woman, no less. I can finally rest easy now."The sudden voice startled both Felix and Skye. They hadn't realized there was a third presence in the room.Their eyes darted around until they spotted an old crone with a face full of wrinkles and a faintly eerie smile.W

Skye furrowed her brows, seemingly deep in thought.Truth be told, from the moment Scorpia had summoned her and ordered her to kill some kid who was probably just at Royal Realm, she had already been confused.Since when did killing someone at Royal Realm require a Domain Realm expert to step in? If that were the case, wouldn't Domain Realm experts be worked to death? On top of that, Skue wasn't just any Domain Realm expert. She was among the best of the best. Sending her felt like a serious overkill.She'd asked about it before, but Scorpia had simply snapped at her to carry out the mission without asking questions.Hearing Felix bring it up again, Skye couldn't help but feel a rising tide of unanswered questions regarding the Etherstorm."At this point," Felix said, "I might as well tell you. The reason the Ruin Order wants to kill me isn't because I'm an elder of Star Alliance. The real reason is that I triggered the Etherstorm."What? Skye's eyes widened in absolute shock.
