The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection
With Husband 611

Chapter 611

After seeing the grim look in Felix's eyes when he heard Xena's name, Aimee broke down and sobbed.

"I don't know why! Xena just told me to come here!" she cried, but Felix slapped her across the face before she could finish.

"Trying to use Xena as a scapegoat? Ask yourself-does she seem like that kind of person? Your acting is so pathetic it's laughable," Felix mocked.

Aimee clutched her stinging cheek, momentarily stunned, forgetting about the lethal aura radiating from him. She screamed in a mix of anger and disbelief, "How dare you hit me, Felix! Who do you think you are?"

It was obvious now that Aimee was not just a bystander but involved in this horror. Felix ignored her. Instead, he turned his attention back to the man, subjecting him to excruciating torture.

Aimee, at first furious, quickly lost her composure as she watched. The longer it went on, the more terror-stricken she became until she collapsed onto the floor, trembling. She dreaded the thought of Felix using the same cruel methods on her. "What's this lab for?" Felix demanded coldly.

The man was on the edge of a mental breakdown, and he spilled everything. He explained, "This is Polaris' secret lab.

"We've been developing experimental pills to turn ordinary people into martial artists. Several batches have already been successful, and we're working on refining them further."

Felix's expression darkened further. This was not just Jonathan's personal scheme-it was Polaris itself.

Taking a deep breath, Felix wrestled with the rage threatening to consume him. He could not believe that a so-called prestigious organization was actually engaged in such monstrous activities behind the scenes.

"Why children?" he asked through gritted teeth

"Their bodies are more adaptable. They show the effects of the pills faster and more clearly. We tried it on adults before, but the efficiency was too low," the man confessed, his voice trembling.

Felix clenched his fists, resisting the urge to inflict more pain on the man. Forcing himself to stay focused, he asked, "Why is Polaris doing this?"

"Ten years ago, Polaris's businesses started declining. The organization was bleeding money and needed a way to stay afloat, so they partnered with Guneria's Wealthhealth Chapter 611

Pharmaceuticals. That's how these pills started," the man admitted.

Then, he slowly raised his hand and pointed at Aimee. "S-She's from Wealthhealth Pharmaceuticals. She's one of them.

It suddenly made sense why no one in Dragonia had noticed this syndicate-they were exporting this filth overseas. Foreign markets had always been fascinated with Dragonia's ancient traditions, and martial artists were one of their greatest obsessions. Having heard enough, Felix ended the man's life in a single, swift motion. Blood pooled on the floor as Felix turned his gaze to Aimee.

Before he could even speak, Aimee burst into tears, trembling uncontrollably. "Please! Don't hurt me! They've made progress here recently, and I just happened to be in Dragonia!

"My dad sent me to check it out-that's all! I didn't know about any of this until I got here. Please, Felix, I'm telling the truth!"

So, Xena's uncle in Guneria was behind this monstrous partnership with Polaris. It all made sense now. For a businessman like him, profits trumped morality. It did not matter how much blood or suffering it took-as long as it made money. "Felix, please don't kill me! I know you care about Xena! I'm begging you, for her sake, let me go," Aimee pleaded, tears streaming down her face.

She was terrified. After watching Felix mercilessly torture and kill the man without so much as blinking, how could she not be?

She blurted out, "I'll tell you everything! Your connection to the Greene family-I was the one who contacted them on Lady Nala's orders! She's the one who's been working against you all along!"

Felix nodded, his lips curling into a cold smile. He said, "Don't worry. I won't tell Xena about any of this."

Relief flickered in Aimee's eyes, but it was short-lived. Before she could react, a silver needle pierced her skin.

"Your father's sins require atonement. You can start paying them back on his behalf," Felix whispered.
