After Joshua gave it some thought, he continued, "Then I will play along. On the day of the announcement, I'll put Felix on the spot and humiliate him in front of Xena. "Then, I'll get serious and deal with him so that both his spirit and body suffer a serious blow."His subordinate frowned before asking, "Sir, wouldn't this upset Lord Kane?"Joshua sneered."So what? My uncle has said that anyone who dares to obstruct me on the path of pursuing Xena will be dealt with. Lord Kane is just the deputy chief of Oasis Clinic."Even their chief has to show some respect in front of my uncle. Why should I fear him? Since he has chosen to stand against me, it's only natural that I don't have to play nice."After a short pause, he ordered, "Notify everyone that Stellar Group's banquet for the city within a city project has been moved up to the night after tomorrow."That night, in a booth at a bar in Avesburgh, Jack waved at Felix when the former saw him enter."The car has been washed,

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

Jack was dumbfounded. He had been in fights before, and from the aura and speed of the middle-aged man, it was clear to Jack that the man was formidable. Yet, he was easily dealt with by Felix."I underestimated you." Frowning, Dora waved her right hand, sending the other two martial artists charging forward.Alas, the outcome didn't change as both of them collapsed after being hit by Felix.At this point, Dora was utterly shocked."Interesting. I didn't think that I would meet a martial artist like you over fondue."Even though her three pillars of strength were unconscious, Dora remained completely unflustered, which piqued Felix's curiosity."Can this matter be over now?"After all, this was a mess Sasha had created, and Felix didn't want to waste more time on it.Dora didn't answer his question. She merely gave him a long look before turning to leave.Now that the bar was finally empty, Jack piped up, "Dang! Felix, you're that strong?" Tilting his head, Felix answered,

"I didn't know about the restaurant before that night," Felix answered truthfully. He was curious if there was really more to this than met the eye."Heh! Now this is getting interesting. Everyone who knows me is aware that I go to that fondue restaurant at the same time every week. If someone wanted us to clash, that would have been the perfect time."Dora was above doing things this way, but Felix's unexpected strength, along with her calmness now, made her rethink things carefully.Felix also began to consider the situation. After hearing what Dora said and recalling Sasha's reaction at the time, he did think it was a bit suspicious.At that moment, the door opened, and an old man entered after entering the residence's passcode."If you can beat him or even end the match with a draw, then we'll call it even."After speaking, Dora backed away a bit. This action showed just how extraordinary the old man's strength must be, as she was clearly afraid of getting caught up in the fi

"I'm just a little surprised," Warren said.Nattie walked over in confusion, only to see Warren hand her the invitation in his hand.She took one look and gasped sharply. "This… Isn't this an invitation to Stellar Group's partnership banquet tomorrow night?"Sasha, who had just come downstairs, rushed over excitedly."No way! It's real. Dad, how did you manage to receive this? There are so many big companies in Avesburgh that don't even qualify for an invitation, yet you got one?"Nattie became even more overjoyed."That's not all. It's said that those who get an invitation will likely become one of Stellar Group's partners for the city within a city project. Doesn't this mean our family has a chance too?"While the mother and daughter were thrilled, Warren was unable to smile."I know how I got this invitation. I just didn't expect him to pull it off."Him? Nattie was somewhat confused. "Warren, do you know someone like that?""It's Felix."Warren had mixed feelings about t

"Please elaborate," Felix said. He believed that although he had only exuded his demeanor a bit last night, given the elder's strength, the elder must have been frightened. The grudge with Dora would naturally dissipate as well."Sure, but you need to treat me to a meal."A while of silence later, Dora still didn't want to elaborate further. So, before ending the call, Felix said, "It doesn't matter to me."Felix left and arrived at Xena's house around 10:00 am. He had contacted her previously."Let's go up."After opening the door, Xena remained expressionless. At least, she was someone who kept to her word. She didn't stop Felix from visiting Curtis. For some reason, she followed him upstairs.Felix began to check on Curtis. Then, he let out a sigh of relief. The Phantom Poison didn't continue to spread. If so, once he got the last few herbs, he could start saving Curtis. Besides that, he could make sure that the latter could live for a while longer.When Felix was about to le

James wasn't someone who stood out. In school, he kept a low profile. It was unexpected for him to become wealthy. As expected, no one could predict one's fate.Since they used to be classmates, the pretense of a class reunion was the most appropriate setting. If Jack had invited James alone, there would have been a high probability that he would have been rejected as they weren't close friends in school. There would be nothing he could do about it.As time passed, their high school classmates entered one by one. Of course, all they engaged in was small talk. The people who had successful lives would take the initiative to speak up and ask about other people's work as well as questions about status and wealth.At last, James arrived. He came together with a classmate, Harvey Johnson, who was known as Gray. His hair color was gray, which was why he acquired such a nickname. When Felix saw Harvey pulling the chair for James, he guessed that Harvey was like a minion to him."Felix, wh
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 135
Upon hearing James say that, everyone understood the situation. No wonder Harvey made things difficult for Felix the moment he entered the room. It turned out they were doing it on purpose. They didn't hide the fact that they were targeting Felix at all.Jack narrowed his eyes and stared at James. "Before making Felix leave, I want to know how he has offended you."Felix was silent because he knew what Jack's temperament was."Do you remember the most beautiful woman in our class back then? She was my crush, but Felix was her boyfriend for two years. I've been holding onto this grudge for a long time."When Felix heard that answer, his expression became strange, let alone the others. Was this considered a grudge? What a joke. Just because James couldn't get the woman he wanted as his girlfriend, he didn't allow anyone to date her either? As expected, Jack chuckled because he was furious."Just because of that? It has already been so many years."However, James remained serious. "

"Hmm. Not bad," Francis sneered, lifting his hands again. His face suddenly began to tear apart. In the blink of an eye, another face emerged, twisting grotesquely as it rapidly expanded and launched itself toward Felix.Felix didn't flinch. With the added power of the Phaeron Projection, he finally unleashed his ultimate move."Six Word Mantra—Astral Bloom!"The grotesque face instantly shattered, obliterated into pieces, and redirected toward Francis.A flicker of seriousness passed through Francis's eyes. He clearly recognized how powerful that move was.After all, this technique from the Phaeron Codex was unleashed under the full amplification of Lone Paragon. Its power was nothing to scoff at.When the smoke cleared, Francis's figure looked noticeably dimmer."This isn't over, kid!"Francis retreated, and Felix didn't chase him. He had already thrown out every card he had. Who knew what else that old monster was hiding? It was better to leave it at that.At the very lea

Malachar was dead.Felix's eyelids twitched slightly. Although he and Specter had previously clashed in a fierce and breathtaking battle, there had ultimately been no clear outcome.However, he'd done it on his own this time—he had truly taken down an S-tier Malevolent Phantom. While he didn't think this guy was as strong as Specter, he was still undoubtedly S-tier.After spending a full day and night healing over 20 people and their souls, Felix met up with Donna at the hotel."Next one," he said.Donna let out a wry smile. Even she felt a trace of fear now toward Felix."We're still tracking it down. We should be able to find it soon."Felix closed his eyes. "Let me know when you've found it."…Just like that, a month passed, and Felix had eliminated three Malevolent Phanttal. The terrifying power of the Phaeron Codex and the soul-refining feedback from the Mystical Explosive Orb elevated his soul cultivation once again. He reached the Quantacore Realm, and his overall st

After hanging up, Donna stared off into the distance. She murmured, "Felix, just how far can you really go?"...Late at night, inside a luxury estate, Malachar lounged on a velvet couch in the living room, chain-smoking in silence. He could not shake the restlessness gnawing at him—something felt off, which was strange because he had never experienced anything like this before.Suddenly, Malachar frowned as a blinding silver light burst from his body, flinging away something that had just tried to strike him. He snapped, "Who's there?"He was stunned—someone actually had the guts to try and assassinate an S-tier Malevolent Phantom like him. However, there was no answer, only a terrifying wave of soul-based energy rushing in, instantly alerting him to the situation's severity.His body flared up again, even brighter than before, and he let out a furious roar. "I've got over 20 lives in my hands—if you keep attacking, they'll all die!"That threat seemed to work. Before the attac

Xena turned around, her eyes burning with rage as she glared at Specter. "I told you to stay hidden, didn't I? But no, you just had to be stubborn. Happy now?"She was on the verge of falling apart. From then on, she and Felix were done for good. As for headquarters, she would have no choice but to resign on her own. After all, if Felix reported her for colluding with a Malevolent Phantom, it would not just end with her quitting.Specter gave a bitter smile, unable to say anything. He would have never expected that Felix had grown this fast. The guy was already strong enough in the Ethercore Realm to go head-to-head with an S-tier Malevolent Phantom. If Specter had known that, he definitely would have stayed in hiding. Xena added, "You've got one month. Don't forget what you owe me."Specter nodded before finally speaking. "Don't worry. You saved my life—of course, I'll hold up my end. Just give me a month, and I'll vanish without a trace."Now that he had crossed Felix, pushing
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1478
Clearly, Specter sensed the brutal force behind this next attack—every single scale on his body shot up to shield him. Suddenly, a soul-crushing wave of power rippled outward. Though he managed to block the strike, his scales began to dissolve in massive clusters, proving just how devastating the blow had been.At almost the exact same moment, Lumen flanked around and pierced through Specter from behind.Even someone like Specter, an S-tier Malevolent Phantom, could not endure the pain that deep—it struck straight into his soul. Before he could recover, Lumen drove through him twice before his scales intercepted the strikes."Xena!" Specter roared again. His soul had already been damaged—there was no way he could take Felix head-on anymore. With injuries like this, he would need an excruciatingly long recovery. If something did not happen soon, he would actually die right here.Even now, Specter could not wrap his head around how Felix had grown so strong so fast. Killing one or

"Is that so? Funny—I didn't even realize it myself." Felix shot Specter a cold, mocking glare.Specter had humiliated him like this the last two times they had crossed paths, so now, it was time for payback—an eye for an eye.Specter was no longer the calm and collected figure he had been moments ago. As an S-tier Malevolent Phantom, he knew exactly what stepping into Ethercore Realm meant—it was the level where humans could finally go toe-to-toe with beings like him.Then again, it made no sense. It had only been a month since his last ambush on Felix—how could anyone grow this fast? This kind of leap was absurd, even with Donna's Mystical Explosive Orb providing feedback energy. If that Orb could boost someone to this extent, it would have been exposed to the world by now."Things are different now, Specter. Everything you created with your own hands back then—today, I'm returning it all."Suddenly, Specter laughed again. "Come on, Felix, you know how it goes. Sometimes, we hav

Felix's face was completely expressionless. "There's no point in saying all this now. What I want to know is—why are you here?"He did not even care about the reason behind the lie anymore. He was about to walk into a battlefield where life and death were up in the air—he had no time to deal with drama, but seeing Xena here was still a surprise.Xena took a deep breath and looked serious. "Can you let Specter go for now? I'm not defending a Malevolent Phantom—I just mean, maybe you could deal with the others first?"Felix frowned hard, and he stared at her like she had just grown a second head. "I can't believe those words actually came out of your mouth. You're the Phoenix Warlord, and you better give me a damn good reason for that."Xena felt her heart sink—there was no way she could tell him the real reason. "Please, Felix. Just let him go for now. I promise I'll explain everything later."At that point, Felix knew there was no way of getting answers from her, so he stepped for

Felix frowned. It had only been one night since he had asked Xena to look into Specter, so he honestly did not expect any results yet. However, Hector's words threw him off, making him feel uneasy.He asked, "Mr. Downy, are you saying you've already found a lead on Specter, but Xena didn't tell me?"Hector confirmed it without hesitation because Xena was nowhere near his level in terms of both trust and how long they had known each other. He explained, "That's right. I only found out because someone from Skynet happened to report it, and once I realized it was someone you were personally looking for, I told them to prioritize it. "Then, I found out Xena hadn't said a word to you—so yeah, I figured I'd step in. Whatever's going on between you two is your business, but I'll send you the address now."Hector even chuckled a little, clearly thinking Felix and Xena were just having a lover's spat. He had no clue how much that information shook Felix to the core.Meanwhile, Felix quest

Billy said enthusiastically, "You know what, Felix? Other than Mr. Hoffman, you're the only person I truly respect! Seriously, you've got a family, you've reached a level most people can only dream of, you're swimming in money, and yet you're still out there on the front lines. "And now you're about to risk your life again for everyone else. I heard from Mr. Hoffman about those Star Alliance tournaments. The death rates are so high it's basically insane, so you should know what I'm trying to say."Felix gave a bitter smile. "If everyone backs down, then what future is there? Back in the early days of Dragonia, before I was even born, our ancestors gave their blood and lives so we could live the way we do now."If it weren't for them paving the way, I wouldn't even have the chance to risk my life—hell, a single bomb could've dropped on me the moment I was born, and that would've been the end of it." Billy gave him a thumbs up and chuckled. "That's exactly why I admire you, man. Al
