The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 517

Felix's expression remained neutral when he heard the mention of Xena. He knew Nala must have been eavesdropping when he spoke about treating Lionel over the satellite phone. It was ridiculous. Did he need Nala's permission to interact with women now?

"Fine." He took the phone as he was curious about Nala's game.

Nala's voice came through after the call was connected, "I assume you only took this call because it concerns Xena, right?"

Felix's tone was cold. "Since you know that, skip the small talk. We have nothing to discuss.

He heard her breath quicken slightly before she continued. "Very well. Straight to the point. I have evidence of Xena's violations. Once reported and verified, she'll lose her position as the Phoenix Warlord."

Felix furrowed his brows before letting out a short laugh. "Interesting. What's the deal here? Are you goin

to ask me to sleep with you, and you'll hand over the evidence?"

"You... You scoundrel!" Nala was furious, and even Yvonne gaped in disbelief. Who in Dragonia would dare tease Nala like this? Most people would be dead before finishing such words.

"My character aside, why do you keep interfering in my private life? Are you my girlfriend? My wife? My mother? What right do you have to do so?"

After his barrage, Nala's voice became eerily calm. "I understand now, Felix. I've never let anything I want escape me, and you're no exception! One day, you will fall for me.'

Felix tossed the phone back to Yvonne as the call ended. "Leave. And don't bother me with anything related to that woman again."

Yvonne left with a bitter smile. She was baffled by Felix's dramatic change, Even setting aside everything else, he was talking to Lady Nala of Dragonia! Countless men would dream of her attention, yet Felix had flatly rejected her advances.

The next morning, Felix lounged in his yard's chair, enjoying the fresh air while waiting for Vanessa. After 30 minutes, she still had not arrived, so he called her. "Nessa, are you stuck in traffic or something urgent?"

He had asked her to come over and deliver Nancy's electric scooter back.

"Ugh! Blame your best friend who's on a business trip! Jack called saying he couldn't sleep

because he missed me so much. What could I do? I had to take an early flight to see him. Being a girlfriend isn't easy! I didn't-

Jack's voice cut in briefly before disappearing. I have to go. Jack is calling me for breakfast! Oh, and you should deliver the scooter to Nancy since she needs it for commuting. I already told her you'd bring it today." After hanging up, Felix's expression was peculiar, feeling somewhat manipulated.

He knew Vanessa meant well. She was trying to play matchmaker between him and Nancy, but there were things outsiders could not understand.

Still, he could not just leave Nancy waiting now that Vanessa had promised on his behalf. With her likely staying out of town with Jack for a week, it would not be very gentlemanly of him to make Nancy come get it herself.
