The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 180

"Doesn't this look like an acupuncture needle to you?" Xena asked.

Belle replied, "Yes, milady. The needle has been confirmed to be an acupuncture needle."

Xena had a strong feeling that this needle had to be the reason for Santhor's easy defeat just now. It had suppressed his true power, making it easy for her to take him down.

"Get all of the hotel's security footage here at once. I want to go through them myself," Xena declared.

"Yes, milady!" Belle nodded.

Just then, a voice appeared in Belle's in-ear microphone.

"Milady, Perry Glover is here."

"You may leave now. And ask him to come in," Belle replied.

Xena felt sorry for Perry when he finally came into her office. Her uncle looked as if he had just aged by ten years.

"Xena! It's been so long! Why have you still not arrested Felix yet?" Perry questioned.

Perry was at his wit's end. He had expected that Xena wouldn't have done anything much on her side, but to think that even the Inferno Clan hadn't made much progress either! Could Felix possibly be an indestructible god, given how hard he was to kill?

"Uncle Perry, although I'm the goddess of war, I can still only take action based on concrete evidence. As of now, there hasn't been any solid proof that can directly convict Felix of the crime. What am I supposed to do about it?" Xena retorted.

She didn't mention that Felix was also a member of Dragon Alliance. Hence, even if there was enough evidence, it wouldn't be up to her to deal with him.

"Proof! You talk about proof all the time! I don't care; he was the one who killed my son! There can't possibly be anyone else. Fine! Since you're unwilling to do this for me, then consider us no longer related!" Perry shouted.

Xena didn't stop him and just let him leave. She had to stick by her principles with everything she did. Otherwise, it wouldn't do if she were to set à bad example for her underlings. Even if she agreed with Perry and thought that Felix had killed Ted, it was still only a hunch, nothing more.

As the sun began to set, Felix arrived at a restaurant. He had done everything he could to turn down Warren's invitation for dinner, but failed. Warren had called him multiple ti until Felix finally agreed.

"Uncle Warren," Felix greeted. He entered and saw that Warren was the only one there.

Felix then sighed in relief.

""Have a seat, Felix."

There was a conflicted look in Warren's eyes as he gestured for Felix to sit next to him.

"Felix, this collaboration with Stellar Group is very important to me and my family. I owe you a favor for it. But on a separate note, I really hope you can settle down and stop causing trouble everywhere you go just because you have people supporting you."

Felix knew that Warren was just trying to keep his family safe, especially since Sasha had gotten abducted the last time. There was nothing wrong with Warren's behavior as a father.

"I understand, Uncle Warren. Don't worry. We won't keep in contact anymore after this. This way, even if Laccidentally get into trouble, it won't have anything to do with you anymore." Warren opened his mouth to say something but hesitated and ultimately said nothing. At that point, he no longer knew what was the right or wrong thing to do.

Just then, the toilet door opened, and Sasha walked out.

"Felix, you're here," Sasha said.

Since Warren was there, Felix just nodded slightly as a greeting.

Sasha didn't seem to mind. She had already planned to remain mum about the matter for now anyway. There would be a day later when it was finally time for revenge. Her phone suddenly lit up with a message notification. It was a text message from her friend, Nora.

"Sasha, you know a lot of people, right? Can you please help spread the word? I'm looking for something. If I can't find him in three days, my boyfriend will beat me to death!" Sasha didn't feel like answering. She wasn't exactly close friends with Nora, so she decided to just reply half-heartedly.

"Who is it? I'll help you, of course."

A while later, she received a photo. Sasha was shocked when she looked at it.

The man in the photo was none other than Felix!
