All Chapters of The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection: Chapter 1751 - Chapter 1760

When Felix came down with the takeout, he was about to call a car to head home when he suddenly saw Zedekiah approaching him directly. He said, "Mr. Lively? What a coincidence."Zedekiah smiled. "When we meet outside, there's no need to call me Mr. Lively. We'll soon be under the same mentor. Just call me Zedekiah."Then, he pointed to a spot not far away. "Come to my car. I have something I need to discuss with you."Felix politely declined, "Z-Zedekiah, I just packed some food for my sister, and it won't taste good if it gets cold. Could we possibly meet tomorrow at Banilor Clinic to talk?"A flash of displeasure crossed Zedekiah's face as he put his arm around Felix's shoulders. "If I've come to find you personally, it must be urgent. As for the food, that's a minor issue. If you don't want to reheat it, I can have the restaurant prepare a fresh batch."With that arm around him, Felix realized Zedekiah was also a martial artist. Though not extremely powerful, the strength he di

After returning home, Felix reheated the food, and Katie ate with obvious delight. She repeatedly asked if Felix had eaten, seemingly wanting to share some with him.Katie's reaction was understandable. Due to their financial limitations, she had never even eaten at restaurants like the one Clarence had taken them to, let alone the high-end establishment where Pedro had invited Elise.Felix silently vowed that in the future, he would make sure Katie could eat to her heart's content. However, everything depended on Katie being able to get out of bed and move freely.After Katie fell asleep, Tasha called. She said, "Felix, I've investigated Zedekiah's background. Simply put, both Zedekiah and Clarence have connections to medical dynasties behind them."Felix had guessed this much. He could tell from how Clarence's hostility suddenly decreased when he discovered Felix couldn't inherit Pedro's acupuncture techniques. After all, those genuinely pursuing medicine would certainly have riv

As soon as Zedekiah spoke, all the troublemakers turned to look at Felix, chattering away at once. Zedekiah silently scoffed. "Felix, oh Felix, let's see how you handle this."The key was that he hadn't said anything wrong. Currently, Felix was indeed Pedro's favorite apprentice. Although he was only an apprentice on probation, since his return, Pedro had made Felix his primary teaching subject during every patient treatment, which made Zedekiah even angrier.The redirection of trouble was meant to embarrass Felix, especially since quite a few people at Banilor Clinic were watching.Clarence immediately felt a chill run down his spine. Zedekiah truly was vicious. It was fortunate he hadn't directly confronted this guy back then, or it would have been trouble.Faced with the crowd's confrontation, Felix remained composed and said solemnly, "Are you done? If so, may I say a few words now?" The leading man sneered. "Go ahead! If you can't meet our compensation demands, Banilor Cli

Felix stood up and looked at Arlo and Pedro. "Do you guys know what that is?" The tattoo on the guy's neck looked like a spider, and judging by their expressions, the answer was obvious.Arlo was the first to react, leaning back against the wall with a defeated look on his face. "We're screwed. This is bad."Pedro didn't look much better. His face had gone pale, and he was murmuring something under his breath."What's going on?" Felix finally asked.Arlo suddenly grabbed him by the collar, visibly agitated. "Damn it, Felix! You've gotten me killed. Do you have any idea who I just took out? That guy is part of Black Widow Society."Black Widow Society? Felix froze. He had read about them in Kirk's memories.Black Widow Society was a notorious, ruthless organization with countless powerful members. The government of Visiora had been trying to wipe them out for years, but they were still thriving.The worst part was that Black Widow Society never gave up and always took revenge

When that scene unfolded, both Arlo and Pedro felt their hearts leap into their throats. They truly believed they were seconds away from death.Even someone as strong as Arlo knew there was no chance of winning in a fight after seeing the power that woman gave off.Yet, Felix didn't show the slightest trace of fear. There wasn't even a flicker in his eyes or a change in expression. He simply stared straight at the woman."If you wanted to kill us, you would've done it already. Why bother with all this talking? That's not Black Widow Society's style. As far as I see it, I'm much more valuable to you alive than dead."The woman's lips curled into a faint smile when she heard that. "I admit, I'm a little surprised that someone your age can stay calm in my presence."She let Felix go and waved at Arlo and Pedro. "You two, wait upstairs."They didn't dare refuse and quickly left. Given how things were unfolding, it seemed like there was still room for negotiation.Once they were gone
