The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection
Billionaire With Husband 608

Chapter 608

"So, you're the one meddling in other people's business? I was expecting some kind of hotshot," a voice taunted as two figures walked into the courtyard a young man and an older gentleman. Based on Matty's earlier mention, the younger man was undoubtedly Louis O'Neill.

Louis glanced at the four writhing men on the ground. His expression tightened as he assessed their condition. Even a glance was enough to tell they had been subjected to extreme torture.

Felix did not bother with greetings, shooting four silver needles into Matty and the others and causing them another wave of excruciating pain. Even Louis's lips twitched involuntarily as he watched. He dared not imagine how horrible the pain was.

""In eve

every nation, anyone with even a shred of decency knows you never harm children!" Felix's voice was cold yet laced with fury.

He continued, "There's a story from abroad about a fugitive in a high-speed car chase. Police were hot on his tail, but he slammed on the brakes when he came across a crosswalk filled with kids. Only after the children were safely across did he continue his escape." Felix's piercing gaze fixed on Louis as he questioned, "If even a criminal understood that basic principle, how is it that you don't?"

Louis's gaze hardened as he regained his composure. "Save your righteous nonsense for the afterlife. You can chat about morality with the devil once you're dead."

Before he had even finished speaking, the older man vanished from where he stood. A second later, he reappeared, dangling mid-air with Felix's hand wrapped tightly around

his throat.

Louis froze, his face draining of color. This was no ordinary fight. The older man was not just some lackey-he was a Martial God, someone whose strength allowed him to dominate in any major city. Yet here he was, subdued in an instant. "You're overestimating yourself," Felix growled.

The old man's eyes widened with disbelief before they filled with resignation. He tried to summon his will to die, but Felix's overwhelming aura smothered him entirely. Even Louis, standing nearby, found himself paralyzed, unable to move a single muscle. Louis's mind raced as he looked at their current situation. Impossible! How powerful was

this man?

Realizing his body was immobilized, Louis tried to activate a forbidden technique-a last-ditch method to sever his heartstrings and end his life instantly. Unlike poison hidden in a tooth, it required no physical movement to trigger. Chapter 600

Yet, to his horror, even this failed. The technique would not activate, as though Felix's sheer presence had locked away even his ability to die,

"Go join them in paying for your sins," Felix said coldly.

With a flick of his hand, two more silver needles flew out. A new round of horrific screams filled the courtyard as Louis and the old man joined the others in their agony.

Felix had already assessed their strength. The old man was indeed a Martial God, and Louis was at the level of a Martial King.

Unlike Matty and his crew, their mental resilience was far stronger, allowing them to endure three rounds of torment without completely breaking. Nonetheless, endurance was not immunity.

Louis's sobbing voice broke through the screams as he collapsed, begging, "No more! Please! I'll do anything-just don't stab me again. Please, just kill me and get it over with!"

icy as he stepped forward. "You want mercy? Did you show any to the Felix's voice was children when they begged for their lives? Did their fear and pain stop you?"

Felix glared at the two as disgust curled on his lip. Matty and his thugs deserved to die a thousand times over, but the true masterminds those who orchestrated it all-were the ones who deserved annihilation.

As Felix raised his hand, the silver needles glinting ominously, Louis crumbled completely His body shook uncontrollably, and his pants were soiled as he lost all control. His fear overwhelmed any shred of dignity he had left. Even the older man, who had maintained some semblance of composure, began pleading

for mercy.

"You want to live?" Felix's voice was calm, but his gaze burned like ice. "Fine. Then tell me -who is the real mastermind behind all of this?"
