The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection
With Husband 618

Chapter 618

Mira's personality was similar to Averill's, but he was not as shamelessly bold as the latter.

Mira smirked and added, "What's wrong? Were your expecting that little tramp, Averill?

"Oh, don't act surprised. After she slept with your, she bragged about it in front of all of us! t ended up smacking her until she cried, which made the rest of us feel a little better."

While Mira and Felix caught up, Titus, Uzziah, and Thaddeus stood frozen in disbelief. They never expected Felix to have a backup, let alone someone powerful enough to casually block Saylor's terrifying attack with nothing but an umbrella. It seemed that every genius had a hidden ace up their sleeve,

Saylor, however, sneered as he watched the interaction. He thought, "Oh, I see now. No wonder this kid wasn't scared. He had someone in the shadows all along"

Even though he had not detected Mira earlier, Saylor remained unfazed. His confidence remained unshaken, and he believed she probably just used an advanced concealment technique. Hence, he was not worried about Mira's strength at all. At that moment, Mira calmly closed her umbrella, revealing her face to Saylor. The instant he saw her, his confidence shattered, and he shuddered.

"Mira?" he gasped, his voice trembling.

Mira chuckled, her tone dripping with amusement. "Ah, now it makes sense why your presence felt so familiar.

"Saylor, you really mastered that fake-death technique back then. Even I was fooled! But now that I've caught you, where do you think you'll run this time?"

The sheer panic on Saylor's face showed just how thoroughly Mira had him cornered. Without another word, he vanished in an instant, fleeing for his life. "Please don't kill me! I don't want to die!" his voice echoed as he disappeared into the

distance.

Mira snorted, her eyes cold. "Even if I let the past go, you tried to kill my junior. Do you really think I'd let you live? You've been hiding for 30 years, and it's about time you met your end."

Instead of chasing him immediately, Mira turned her attention back to Felix with a playful grin. "Felix, you owe me one now. Make sure you're ready to repay that favor anytime. Oh, and don't forget to clean up and look your best when the time comes." Before Felix could respond, Mira vanished as suddenly as she had appeared. He stood there, exasperated, muttering, "Why does it feel like they planned this? If Averill is so free,

she could've handled it herself."

As if on cue, a hand landed on his shoulder.

"You're absolutely right! We did plan this," Averill said, her tone smug. "If I didn't let Mira take this one, she'd have beaten me black and blue."

"Averill!" Felix sighed, rolling his eyes before quickening his pace to avoid more teasing.

"Why are you running? You should be happy!" Averill called after him, laughing. She continued, "Mr. Hoffman approved this whole operation. When he heard about Polaris' crimes, he gave us the green light to come here, so you don't have to feel guilty about anything." Felix's eyes lit up. "Wait... Does that mean I don't have to owe Mira a favor? After all, this mission had Mr. Hoffman's approval!"

Averill grinned mischievously. "I didn't say that."

In a much better mood, Felix continued walking with Averill, chatting casually as they left Polaris behind.

Meanwhile, Titus, Uzziah, and Thaddeus stood rooted to the spot, their expressions a mix of shock and awe. After a moment of stunned silence, Uzziah was the first one to speak.

"Titus, I have an unusual request. Could you investigate this young man's identity for me? I'd like to know everything about him."

Titus gave a wry smile and nodded. "Of course, Mr. Crayden. I'll personally oversee it."

Beside them, Thaddeus gulped nervously. The implication was clear: if someone like Uzziah was this shaken, crossing Felix would be nothing short of suicidal-for an individual or an entire clan.
