The Rise of a Master It Starts With Rejection novel Chapter 942

According to Billy, one's energy signature would essentially be an extension of their soul's frequency. While he could mask it temporarily, it would only last for about a year—making it permanent was simply impossible.

"Felix, come with me. I'll make sure to repay you properly. Trust me. I have the means, so don't turn me down," the old man insisted.

Feigning hesitation, Felix eventually agreed and got into the Audi A4. As the car moved, the two of them chatted casually, though Felix remained cautious.

"Where are we headed, sir?" Felix asked when the car began to slow down. He noticed, with some surprise, that they were entering a massive cave.

"This is my summer retreat. It's normal to be curious if it's your first time seeing it," the old man replied with a smile.

Felix simply nodded and said, "Oh."

The car came to a stop inside, and Felix followed the old man out. To his surprise, a group of more than a dozen people was waiting there. At the center, an elderly woman sat in a chair, licking her lips as she examined him.

"My, what a handsome young man!" the woman said with a sly smile.

Shedding his earlier demeanor, the old man immediately knelt and said humbly, "You've got a sharp eye, ma'am. Not only is he good-looking, but I can vouch for his kind heart. He's guaranteed to satisfy your… tastes."

Felix frowned and demanded, "What's going on here?"

The group erupted into laughter as the old man narrowed his eyes. "Oh, it's nothing. You were just too kind for your own good. In Martial City, people like you are rare these days. Be smart and don't resist—you'll suffer less that way."

Felix shook his head with a wry smile. "So, this was your plan all along, huh?"
