The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection
Billionaire With Husband 570

Chapter 570

The two pursuers were utterly baffled-Felix's speed far surpassed theirs.

"It must be some sort of forbidden technique. Don't worry. This is an island; at best, he'll head for the sea. With our superior cultivation level and spiritual energy, we can outlast him. Techniques like that can't last forever," the man said.

As they spoke, they both broke into confident smiles. In their minds, Felix was like cooked meat on a platter-there was no escape for him.

Even though he was already over the sea, as long as he remained within their sensory range, catching him was just a matter of time. After all, their strength was undeniable.

"Darling, what's that?"

Suddenly, the woman froze in place, pointing skyward. Her husband followed her gaze, his face turning pale as he saw the massive object streaking through the sky with a fiery tail. "A missile?"

Those were the last words he uttered. What followed was sheer terror.

Explosions erupted as Felix dived into the sea just in time.

"Damn! That's insane!"

The shockwave slammed into him, forcing him to retreat repeatedly. If not for his own formidable physique, honed to the Aetherial Realm, the relentless blasts would have torn his body apart.

When the chaos finally subsided, Felix emerged from the water, his feet stepping lightly onto the sea's surface. His eyes reflected deep fear.

The island hadn't sunk, but it had been leveled completely, a true demonstration of what it meant to be razed to the ground.

Caleb had mentioned arranging for large-caliber, long-range rocket fire to bombard the island, but only now did Felix grasp the terrifying power of modern weaponry. He had seen dozens of rockets streak through the sky, with even more following. There must have been over a hundred of them.

There was no need to confirm-the couple on the island was undoubtedly obliterated, leaving not even a trace behind.

What did being in the Aetherial Realm matter? Against the sheer might of advanced weaponry, even that meant nothing.

Half an hour later, Felix stepped off a helicopter and met Caleb and Garrett, who were already waiting for him. Chapter 570

"Mr. Zeller, does this fulfill my promise?"

Felix couldn't help but marvel aloud, "To be honest, it scared me a bit. But isn't such a massive bombardment a problem?"

Caleb chuckled. "Relax. The official explanation is that it was a military exercise. I've already paid far more than necessary for the island and the 80-plus rockets. Trust me, the people involved are laughing all the way to the bank."

The privileges of being one of Azuria's top magnates left Felix momentarily speechless.

In truth, Felix could have fought the couple himself. After all, he practiced the unique Dragons Destroyer technique and wasn't someone to be underestimated. However, there was always a risk involved, and nothing could compare to the simplicity and efficiency of an all- out bombardment.

"To be fair, the real reason I dared to act so decisively is because you said the people on the island were dirty. Otherwise, I wouldn't have risked causing a diplomatic incident."

Felix smiled. Caleb's trust had been absolute.

With everything settled, it was time to part ways. Felix declined Caleb and Garrett's offer to personally escort him and took a Rolls-Royce to the airport.

Just as he entered the terminal, his phone rang. It was Yvonne.

He hesitated briefly before answering.

"What is it?" he asked.

To his surprise, Yvonne's voice was urgent and panicked. "Felix, I know you're in Azuria. You must have connections there, right? Please, you have to save Lady Nala!"
