The Rise of a Master It Starts With Rejection novel Chapter 1057

The fact that Aiden knew Felix's true identity was not surprising. Though he had been too young to remember Cordelia's face and status when Victor was alive, Meredith had known everything.

Expecting panic from Felix, Aiden instead heard a calm telepathic response.

"Really? Then, go tell the royal family. I'm right here in Imperial City. Let them come for me."

Watching Felix enter the restaurant, Aiden clenched his fists before leaving.

"Did he think I'd be afraid?" Felix was not concerned. If Aiden meant to talk, he would have done so long before this encounter.

It was obvious that Kevin had taken the Dragonspine from the Skeletal Demon for Aiden's sake. After all, Aiden had been searching for it in the capital. He must have missed Felix during that time when Felix was not around.

Now, Aiden surely knew Felix had several Dragonspine pieces. He wouldn't tell the royal family about him. Because if Felix died, the Dragonspine would be lost forever.

After eating, Felix entered the palace at the heart of Imperial City and met the King. He was an imposing middle-aged man.

After some perfunctory rewards and small talk, Felix left. He could sense the King's poorly hidden impatience, not even bothering to fully maintain the facade.

Leaving Imperial City, Felix had fully recovered from his injuries after several days of rest. He had returned to his peak condition.

Their group's movements were being monitored. Because of that, Zayn and Ean gathered again.

"Ean, you predicted perfectly. Shepherd took the bait and agreed to help secretly."

Ean smirked. "These paupers would take years to earn what we offered. It was expected."
