The Rise of a Master It Starts With Rejection novel Chapter 177

Chapter 177 

Felix didn’t struggle against Xena and just followed her out of the elevator. Since Xena was here, that meant the masked man in the elevator had to be one of the most dangerous wanted criminals out there. 

He debated with himself for a brief moment. Ultimately, just before the doors closed, he shook his hand and secretly shot a needle at the man still inside. 

With how powerful the masked man was, Xena was definitely going to have to put up a serious fight if she wanted to take him down. And since Felix had run into their little operation here, he figured he should help her. 

In addition to that, they were in the middle of the bustling city center. If Xena and her team couldn’t control the masked man, there would be other innocent casualties along the way. 

As expected, the smile on Xena’s face had long vanished. “This place is very dangerous. Leave as quickly as you can!” Then, she sprinted toward the emergency staircase. 

Felix couldn’t deny that the somewhat coquettish Xena just now had a certain charm to her. Any man who saw her like that would instantly fall for her. After all, Xena was often cold, aloof, and serious, with a certain air of power and arrogance to her. 

Of course, with her current power and position, it felt like a whole other experience altogether. 

Xena reappeared on the ground floor. With her ability, it was an easy task for her to outrun 

the elevator. 

“Has the crowd been evacuated?” Xena asked. 

Belle hurriedly answered, “They’ve all been evacuated. You can do everything you need in the hotel lobby, milady.” 

Xena’s eyes were trembling with anger. One could tell that she was furious this time. 

“This Santhor guy is quite the cocky guy, isn’t he?” Belle quipped. 

“Move aside. The elevator’s almost here.” 

Belle didn’t dare to say anything more and quickly backed away, 

She was also furious. The masked man in the elevator was a killer with the nickname Santhor. He preyed specifically on women and was on the top of the wanted criminals‘ list. 

Santhor would always disappear without a trace after each murder. There was also no rhyme or rhythm to his killing sprees. Coupled with his strength and ability, he h managed to evade the law.

Xena’s and the Phoenix Legion’s home ground. The fact that he still came here in the open meant that he never gave a fuck about the goddess of war. Of course, Xena would get furious about it. 

If she hadn’t coincidentally come here to verify Felix’s connection to Dragon Alliance, Santhor would have just walked away scot–free 

Just then, the elevator doors opened: Santhor walked out of the elevator and looked around the empty lobby, where Xena was standing far yonder. The expression in his eyes didn’t change at all. In fact, he slowly took off his mask, revealing the smile on his face. 

If Felix had been there, he would have understood why Santhor had to wear that mask. Aside from the birthmark on his forehead, there was another huge birthmark on the right side of his face. It made his face look distorted and ugly. 

“Xena Summers, the goddess of war, right? I’ve wanted to meet you for a long time. Getting to witness you call a stranger ‘honey‘ and act all cutesy right in front of me? That alone makes dying worth it,” Santhor remarked. 

Xena’s fury peaked. So, she had been made a fool of after all. Santhor had recognized her from the start. He was simply just enjoying the show.
