The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 169

Yvonne broke out of George's grasp and stepped back. Then, she shouted sternly, "Mr. Zimmerman, please calm down!"

But George didn't care. Instead, he sat on the couch and gestured at her to come over. "I know you're a martial artist, so I won't force myself on you. Let me put it this way.

"If you don't serve me well, what kind of outcome do you think you'll get based on my family's and my capability? Frankly, you're just a dog raised by someone else. Isn't it only a matter of seconds for her to abandon you when there are benefits to reap?" Yvonne's face turned pale. It was because whatever George said was the truth. Even her life belonged to Xena, When needed, Xena could use her at any time. For example, didn't Xena arrange

for her to sleep with Felix previously?

Right when Yvonne was feeling sad, the door opened, and Felix walked in.

"Yyonne, I've been looking for you. Come with me. I have something urgent to discuss with you."

With a frown, George looked at him. "Get out!"

Felix turned to look at him. "Are you talking to me?"

Then, George glanced at Yvonne. "Tell him who I am. Make him leave right this instant. Otherwise, the situation will become worse when I get up."

Before Yvonne could say anything, Felix spoke up. "I don't care who you are or what status you have. I can run to the hall and shout everything you said to Yvonne just now if you want. You can continue to say filthy things."

George's expression changed at that. There were many big shots in the hall. Even if he could suppress the news, his reputation would be affected. His father would definitely beat him up.

"You're bold. I like how you don't care about your life," George said while pointing at Felix before leaving.

"Are you alright? I can't believe he's so bold," Felix said.

Yvonne chuckled bitterly. "I'm sorry. I couldn't react in time just now. I've put you in trouble."

Trouble? Felix was confused. "Do you mean George?"

"Yeah. His family is terrifying. Once you become his target, you won't have a good outcome. I'll try my best to think of a way to protect you."

Then, Yvonne hurriedly walked out of the room. She felt touched and thought that being

saved by a man was great, especially since it was Felix with whom she had slept. But after thinking about it for a while, she realized how severe the consequences were.

She went to another room and gave Xena a call

"Is the result out?"

"No, Ms. Summers. Something happened."

After Yvonne finished speaking, the person on the other end of the line laughed meaningfully.

"He's quite righteous. Sadly, one's actions will only be considered righteous if one has capability in this world. Otherwise, one will only be an idiot! Forget about him. Since he wants to act as a knight in shining armor, let him pay the price for it. I won't help him. That's all." Yvonne was shocked. How could Xena be so heartless? Felix was Xena's fiancé. Why didn't she want to help him?

"No! I need to think of a way to save Felix. All of this happened because of me. He shouldn't be implicated."

20 minutes later, all the papers had been gathered. Bernard went up on the stage again." We'll use the quickest time possible to choose the winner. Please hold on for a moment.'

A woman stood next to him when he was about to put down the microphone. The woman had an average appearance, but her gaze was domineering.

"There's no need to choose. We, Moonshadow Alliance, want the Miracle Card."
