The Rise of a Master It Starts With Rejection novel Chapter 418

Chapter 418 

Of course, there had always been people who cared about nothing, like Madam Spring, who poisoned Curtis with Phantom Poison. As a lone wolf with only revenge on her mind, she did not care about the consequences or who was involved. 

However, those with families or organizations had to be more careful. When the government stepped in, everyone involved would pay the price, and they could not just offer up a scapegoat to make it all go away. 

Still, these were just Felix’s theories. Whether the Elders‘ Council had other reasons for keeping him and Xena apart remained a mystery for now. 

“Mr. Zeller, I can see you’re a reasonable man,” Ryan said. “I really wanted to help you, but my hands were tied! I even told my grandfather about your true identity, but he still insisted I lie.”

When he dialed the number Averill sent, an elderly voice answered, clearly expecting his call, “Mr. Zeller, what can I do for you?” 

“It’s not convenient to discuss over the phone. Let’s meet in person.”
