The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection
Billionaire With Husband 459

Chapter 459

Felix watched as the brute took Michelle away. He wanted to move but was paralyzed by the man's overwhelming presence. After a minute, his face darkened. "Damn it!"

Even his encounter with Madam Spring had not left him feeling this powerless. If anything were to happen to Michelle, Felix wouldn't have the heart to face Karina. 30 minutes later, the bar was empty except for Felix.

Andrei rushed in with a handsome young man.

"Mr. Zeller." Andrei kicked the young man to the ground after speaking, trembling with rage. "Tell Mr. Zeller how you mistreated Michelle, you fool!"

It was his son, Ryland. After Felix's last intervention, Andrei had warned him not to hurt Michelle or risk trouble for their entire family. Yet, here they were.

Ryland looked at Felix in panic and confusion. "Dad! Mr. Zeller! I swear I didn't hurt Michelle!!!

Felix raised his hand to stop Andrei's beating. "Michelle was just kidnapped in front of me by a powerful martial artist. She was just a real estate agent before becoming the general manager. There's no way she would know such people. Do you understand what I'm trying to say?"

Both father and son were shocked.

"The kidnapper said Ryland must come here by midnight. Now you know why I called you.

Andrei was shrewd enough to catch on. "Mr. Zeller, are you saying they're targeting my son? Michelle is just collateral?"

"Exactly."

Ryland shook his head frantically. "Dad, I've never crossed any martial artists! Even if I had enemies, why did they target Michelle instead of me? Mr. Zeller, don't be angry, but we're not even engaged. So no smart person would do this!"

He had a point, but time was running out. Felix had Karina's contact, and one call would solve everything. No one would dare face her wrath. However, she had entrusted Michelle to him, and there had to be a reason why she chose to seclude herself. This was his responsibility.

Félix stood, pointing. "Either way, they want you there. Come with me. Theodore, too."

Standing not far away, Theodore frowned. He was clearly refusing to take orders. "Theodore, go with Mr. Zeller."

"Yes, sir!"

Under normal circumstances, Felix would not work with Theodore since they had unfinished business. But saving Michelle came first.
