The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 621

Augustus was stunned.

Meanwhile, Axel wore a strange expression. He couldn't be mistaken. That man was undoubtedly Felix. It hadn't been long since he last saw him, so the memory was deeply etched in his mind.

"Axel, is this for real? He's way too young! How could someone like him make even Uzziah so wary? Damn! They even said the Craydens wouldn't step in to protect anyone who messes with him?"

The young man beside him was visibly shaken. Frankly, most of the people around them felt the same. It would've made sense if Felix had been some ancient figure with decades of cultivation. However, unless Felix had discovered a fountain of eternal youth, he was just a young man.

"Holy-

Suddenly, Axel slapped himself, startling the young man beside him.

"Axel, what's wrong?"

Axel suddenly broke into a wide grin, practically beaming with joy. "When I was a kid, a fortune teller told me that my 24th year would bring me great fortune. I guess he wasn't wrong!"

If not for the need of proper decorum, Axel might have started jumping up and down in excitement. Thinking back to the decision he had made back then, he couldn't help but feel like it had been the smartest move of his life. Without bothering to explain, he pushed his way forward through the crowd.

Meanwhile, Augustus wore a grim expression. The earlier conversation rang in his ears again.

"Augustus, is it really him?"

Augustus' expression darkened. After a long pause, he finally replied, "I think so,"

"So, what do we do? Did you hear what Uzziah said? I'm afraid Felix might be clashing with the people over there."

A flash of madness crossed Augustus' eyes as he clenched his fists tightly.

"We do nothing. Uzziah has been in seclusion for too long, so his judgment must be off. It's ridiculous to put someone like this young man on such a high pedestal! Just wait a few minutes, and Felix will be nothing but a corpse.

At that moment, a childlike voice broke the tension. "Mr. Uzziah, is he really that powerful?

Uzziah frowned. However, seeing that it was a little girl around the age of ten, he softened his expression slightly.

He patiently explained, "Anyone below Oceanus Realm who fights him will die. And that's not all. He doesn't fight alone."

Felix had gravely injured Yates, the Supreme Elder of Polaris, with a single strike. That alone wasn't enough to make Uzziah so wary of him. After all, it merely proved that Felix's talent was monstrously exceptional. He had the potential to rise to the very top of the martial arts world in Dragonia.

However, Mira's appearance left Uzziah utterly rattled.

It wasn't just that. Saylor's energy alone told Uzziah that he didn't stand a chance against him in battle. However, the moment Mira appeared, even Saylor turned and fled without hesitation. That was all the confirmation he needed.

The Crayden family prided themselves on being a force no one dared provoke, precisely because of the powerful figures who supported them. Felix, however, seemed to be surrounded by two such forces. That was truly terrifying to them.

As Uzziah's words sank in, the crowd fell silent. Their expressions ranged from disbelief to outright shock.

After all, it was terrifying enough to hear that Felix himself could crush anyone below Oceanus Realm. However, knowing he had someone even more terrifying supporting him was something they couldn't wrap their heads around.

Augustus wore an ugly expression. For reasons he couldn't explain, he found himself believing every word Uzziah said. If that were the case, the forces he had arranged to deal with Felix might as well have been delivering him offerings on a silver platter. Today's Bonus Offer
