The Rise of a Master It Starts With Rejection novel Chapter 1052

Cordelia asked, "You must have known my identity for a while. Now that we've met, is there anything you need me to do for you?"

Felix smiled softly. "No need. I'll seek justice with my own hands. If you could have helped earlier, you would have, right?"

Felix was truly brilliant, and Cordelia was delighted at such a realization. He was indeed her and Victor's son.

"The attack on you was ordered by the King, carried out by the fourth and sixth princes. Felix, your presence threatens the balance the royal family has maintained for years."

Felix's brow furrowed as realization dawned. "Are you talking about alchemy?"

"Exactly. Specifically, the Ascension Pill that creates masters of the Transcendent Realm. The royal alchemists' success rate may not be the highest, but it far exceeds both Bern and Madam Goddard. That's why there are so many masters in the royal family.

"Your emergence means more powerful warriors outside royal control. What if they rebel one day? The royal family won't allow even the slightest chance of that happening."

Now Felix understood why they deployed such a grand force. They had sent six masters of Transcendence Realm to eliminate him.

"What will you do next? They won't give up after this failure. Even the city might not be safe anymore."

Felix remained calm, showing no hint of worry. "I'm not helpless prey to be hunted at will. I'll grow stronger until they bow before me."

Such boldness! Cordelia smiled. If they hadn't been forced apart years ago, would he have grown to be who he was today? Fate worked in mysterious ways.

"Is Uncle Layne, who took you away back then, still alive?"
