The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 859

John's face changed when he heard Gage's words. He grabbed his desk phone and said, "Get me a ticket out of the country immediately-anywhere except Dragonia!"

Gage just smiled silently, making John uncomfortable.

"To be frank, I'm really terrified. Elders' Council has tried multiple times, yet Felix is simply impossible to kill. His power keeps growing more terrifying. I'm just a coward with no powerful protectors like you. So, this is my only option." Gage nodded. He said with a smile, "We remember your service to the Council. Too bad you crossed into the Grand Elder's most hated domain. Otherwise, you'd have plenty of protection.

John sighed helplessly. Business was about profit, so sometimes he couldn't control himself. Besides, how was he supposed to know what the Grand Elder hated?

If he had known experimenting on those children would anger the Grand Elder, he would not have touched it no matter what. Though it had advanced his company's pharmaceuticals, losing the Grand Elder's protection was not worth it. "There's no need to run this time. Felix will likely die here in Guneria."

Huh? John was puzzled, so he asked, "Are you planning to handle it personally?"

Gage chuckled. "Not quite. But Skyward Guild and the Greenes each sent their elite fighters. Under my arrangement, they'll team up against Felix. I'd say there's a 70% to 80% chance of

success.

"Skyward Guild and the Greenes?" John was stunned, then sighed. "Felix really knows how to make powerful enemies. Well, if you say so, I won't flee. I'll just wait for his death here. Once he's gone, I can return to my normal life." Though he lacked proof, he suspected Felix had killed his daughter, Aimee. But what could he do? He could barely protect himself, let alone find someone capable of killing Felix.

His biggest contribution to the Council was preventing Felix from marrying Xena. Who would dare kill the husband of the Goddess of War, or more precisely, the Warlord?

He might have succeeded there, but who could have predicted Felix's rocket-like power growth? "Honestly, Mr. Shepherd, is Felix's fellow apprentice, Eloise, really so terrifying that even the Grand Elder won't move against her? Must we follow her rules in dealing with Felix?" Gage nodded. "Among known Dragonian martial artists, Eloise is undisputedly the strongest. Even the Grand Elder can't match her! Felix's other eight fellow apprentices are also fearsome. "If not, the Grand Elder would've acted long ago. Finding Felix seemed like a chance to hurt the miracle doctor, but things turned out unexpectedly."

Damn it! If just one of his apprentices could threaten the Council, how terrifying would the

miracle doctor be? The Grand Elder's obsession with going against him really ran deep.

"Thanks for the coffee. I'm leaving. Consider this information payment for your past contributions. Our ties end here."

After Gage left, John smirked coldly. "Such a rare opportunity. How could I not add fuel to the fire? Felix, this is a country swimming in guns. Money and connections can make assassins do anything."

In a café downstairs, Felix had been observing all morning while wearing the Shadow Mask Wealthhealth Pharmaceuticals' security was tight. While infiltrating with the mask would be easy, it would likely prove fruitless.
