The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 198

By the time Jack returned to the private room, Madeline was gone. "What happened?" he asked.

After Felix explained the situation to him, Jack sighed deeply. "Family can really mess you up, huh? I got kicked out, but at least I'm not drowning in debt. Damn."

It was midnight when they got back to Tabiner Bay. Instead of going home, Felix went to Yvonne's villa. He had received a call earlier.

"Yvonne, what's up? It's pretty late," he said after he greeted her.

Yvonne glanced at Felix. She then got up and said, "Have a seat. I'll be right back."

Meanwhile, a whistling sound pierced the air at the Great Imperial Sect headquarters in Dragonia. A guard caught something.

"How dare you trespass on the Great Imperial Sect!" A few figures darted out at incredible speed.

The guard who caught the object looked at it. It was a letter addressed to "Olly Davidson of the Great Imperial Sect, regarding the truth of your disciple's death".

The guard would have ignored it if it had just been the first part. But the second part of the sentence changed everything.

Ten minutes later, a voice thundered throughout the sect. "Felix Zeller? I'll tear you limb from limb!"
