The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 150

"This matter ends here." Felix left after saying that. Only then did Daniel let out a long breath and slump to the ground.

The reason why he killed Joshua without hesitation was simply to save himself. Otherwise, his own chances of death were also high as he faced the Dragon Lord. After all, Joshua was not his son.

"Kane, you nearly got me killed this time." Daniel shot a resentful glance at Kane. He could not help but feel angry.

Kane gave a bitter smile in response. "Daniel, what could I do? How could I dare reveal the Dragon Lord's identity without his permission? The key issue is that you spoiled Joshua too much. He didn't even respect me as the deputy chief of Oasis Clinic! "The Dragon Lord was truly generous. When I informed him about Joshua, he said Joshua was free to pursue her, despite his prenuptial agreement with Xena. But Joshua shouldn't have interfered with the Velocis Ventures matter." Daniel was left speechless.

Indeed, if he had known Felix's true identity, he would not have dared speak carelessly without approval, either. "Did the Dragon Lord say anything about dealing with the current rebellion in Dragon Alliance?"

Kane shook his head. "No. The Dragon Lord has important matters at hand now. As for the rebellion, he'll likely intervene when he has time later."

Meanwhile, Xena and Belle were on their way back. "Are you angry that I didn't stand up for you?" Xena asked.

Belle, who had been silent the whole time, quickly replied, "Milady, I wouldn't dare."

"Though you may not dare say it, you're thinking it, right? Do you know why I turned a blind eye to it? It's because you really disappointed me.'

Disappointed? Belle did not quite understand her meaning.

"You're my assistant. While not exactly second only to me, you clearly have a prominent status. And Felix? He's just an ordinary man, but you personally went to provoke and humiliate him.

"You've been with me so long, yet your perspective hasn't changed at all. How can I not be disappointed?"

Belle lowered her head in shame. Indeed, Felix was far inferior compared to her. V should she bother with such trash?

"I look forward to seeing you change. As for Felix's slap, we'll set it aside for now. There will come a day when he pays the price."

"Yes, milady. I'll do as you say." Just then, her phone rang.

Belle was about to reject the call, but Xena, though looking out the window, spoke up, "I

know you sent someone to monitor Joshua and Felix. What's wrong? Afraid to answer now?

When they left earlier, Belle had indeed given such an order. She wanted to know how Joshua would deal with Felix to slightly ease her anger. But it had not escaped Xena's notice.

"I... I'll answer."

In truth, Xena was also curious. Felix daring to slap Belle was likely due to the prenuptial agreement, but what backing did he have against Joshua? Though they had only met a few times, she could tell Joshua was ambitious and not to be underestimated. "Ma'am, something's happened."

Belle almost rolled her eyes. Of course something happened-Joshua was going after Felix, after all.

"If there's evidence, make an arrest," she said. She had no choice but to respond this way with Xena present.

"No! It's not about Felix. Something happened to Joshua. He seems to be dead!"
