The Rise of a Master It Starts With Rejection novel Chapter 247

What? 

Jack nearly lost his balance and had to grab the chair to steady himself. 

Every man seeing this scene could practically hear their heart shattering into pieces. How could Felix get such a perfect woman? 

Even Felix couldn’t help but laugh at Jack’s reaction. 

“Jack, is it really that shocking?” he teased. 

Taking a few deep breaths, Jack hurriedly sat down. His bladder had probably stopped functioning long ago. 

“You… You two… What’s going on?” 

Averill wrapped her arm around Felix’s, pressing her ample chest against him 

intentionally, making him very aware of her presence. 

“What? Can’t you tell we’re in a relationship?” said Averill. 

Jack was dumbfounded. 

He blurted out, “But isn’t Felix’s girlfriend supposed to be Wendy?” 

What? Averill slowly turned toward Felix with an intimidating look. 

“You dare find a new love behind my 

back?” 

Felix sighed helplessly. “It’s just a fake relationship.” 

Why was he even explaining this to his senior apprentice? 

“Fine. I’ll let it slide this time.” 

Jack felt his scalp tingle. Felix’s romantic luck was unbelievable. Wendy, the daughter of a

billionaire, was willing to pretend to be his girlfriend. Then, there was Yvonne, the stunning CEO who pursued him. And now, a literal fairy kissed him in public. 

How much more unreasonable could this be? How could any man stand this? 

“Hi, I’m Jack, Felix’s buddy,” Jack greeted, extending his hand awkwardly. 

Averill shook his hand gracefully. “Hello, I’m Averill.” 

“Let me get some more food for you.”

But Averill, unfazed, picked up Felix’s utensils and started eating from his bowl without hesitation. 

“It’s fine. There’s still plenty left. Enough for me.” 

As she spoke, she placed her hand directly on Felix’s thigh, causing his body to tense up. Even though Felix was no stranger to being teased in Eden Village, this was on another level. 

Half an hour passed, and the dinner was finally coming to an end. Felix spent the entire meal on edge. 

As soon as he came out of the bathroom, Averill teased him, “Are you feeling uncomfortable, Felix? Do you want me to help you out back at your place?” 

Her eyes playfully drifted down as she spoke. 

“No, no! That won’t be necessary! Averill, please! I’m begging you. I really came to you for something serious!” 

Averill draped her arm over his shoulders. 

“Whatever it is, can’t it be discussed in bed?” she teased. 

Finally, after Felix’s relentless pleas, Averill relented and returned to her normal demeanor. “Okay, then. What’s so urgent that you had to hunt me down like this?” 

Felix’s expression grew serious. 

“My aunt, Yvette Harrington, has been imprisoned by someone. I need you to find her and keep her safe for a while. Once I’ve dealt with this person, everything can go back to normal.”

“L 

et him in immediately!” 

After recalling the incident, Jaxon hurriedly gave the order. What shocked everyone was that the moment the words left his mouth, a young man suddenly appeared in the hall. 

No one 

present had noticed how he entered. 

Jaden was a handsome young man with a unique air, which set him apart. He was the type that would stand out instantly in a crowd. 

Mr 

Cunningham, I am Jaden Hault, the Ninth Elder of Crimson Sage Sect. Nice to meet you,” Jaden greeted with a calm smile. 

Although this was a rather casual gesture considering their ranks, Jaxon didn’t take it as arrogance. Instead, he eagerly stepped down from his seat, no longer daring to remain at the head of the hall. 

“Mr. Hault, it is an honor for the Great Imperial Sect to receive someone of your stature,” Jaxon said warmly. 

After the two sat down, Jaden finally spoke, “I’ve come today for your student, Xena. I believe you’ve already recalled what my mentor told you eight years ago?” 

Jaxon nodded. “I thought it was just a joke back then and didn’t take it seriously. I never imagined his words could come true one day.” 

“My mentor usually doesn’t say much. Once he spoke, it was certainly no joke. I only recently completed the tasks he set for me, which is why I’m now here to fulfill that promise.” 

Jaxon hesitated for a moment before asking curiously, “Was your mentor not worried that my student might already be married after these long eight years?” 

Jaden’s confidence was unwavering. 

“Impossible! My mentor’s divinations are never wrong. Xena’s destined husband is none. other than me, which means she must still be unmarried. Am I correct?” 

Such arrogance! Jaxon couldn’t help but chuckle. “Well, well! My student is quite proud and not easily impressed by ordinary men. But convincing her might still be a bit tricky.” 

With a powerful and well–connected figure like Jaden at his disposal, how could Jaxon resist using this opportunity for revenge? 

“Oh? Mr. Cunningham, do tell me what I can do” Jaden said without hesitation. 

“So, a man named Felix Zeller has been relentlessly pursuing Xena. I disapproved, and he sneaked into the sect and killed our people.”
