The Rise of a Master It Starts With Rejection novel Chapter 945

Even Laura, who was gravely injured, was stunned. She could not believe what she was hearing—a so-called "ordinary person" was actually bold enough to talk to a martial artist so audaciously. In Martial City, such arrogance could only cause him his death.

What baffled her more was that Felix seemed completely unfazed, despite the earlier attack creating a massive crater over 30 feet wide. If even she found it terrifying, Bobby's expression at the moment was beyond strange.

Bobby sneered. "You must really have no idea how big the world is. You're the first ordinary person to speak to me this way. Don't worry. I won't let you die too quickly. First, I'll crush every bone in your body, then I'll take your head and use it as a soccer ball. How does that sound?"

Felix shook his head and sighed. "Not very appealing, honestly."

With a casual gesture, he raised his right hand and pointed a single finger.

Bobby froze mid-smirk, his expression locked in place as a bloody hole appeared in the center of his forehead.

"You—" He managed to utter just one word before collapsing to the ground, his eyes filled with disbelief as he took his last breath.

Laura was utterly shocked. Bobby was an early-stage Blood Realm martial artist—someone known for his power—yet Felix had killed him instantly. That meant Felix's strength had to be at least mid-stage Blood Realm, if not higher.

What puzzled her more was why Felix had been hiding his power. In Martial City, high-level martial artists flaunted their strength as a badge of honor, yet Felix had concealed his. This also explained the massacre in the cave earlier—it had to have been Felix's doing.

As she pieced it together, Felix turned his gaze toward her, his eyes filled with unmasked killing intent.

"Please, don't kill me! I'm begging you!" Laura pleaded desperately. She was not ready to die, and despite her injuries, she clung to hope.
