The Rise of a Master It Starts With Rejection novel Chapter 978

At that moment, Felix became aware of Jared's presence and realized the situation. Jared rose from his seat as well. "Felix, I had a feeling you'd show up to rescue Laura.

"That's why I informed the head of the Larsson family beforehand, anticipating your attempt to deceive them by posing as Madam Goddard's disciple."

Laura, who was in the process of getting hung, desperately wanted to say something. However, she had been silenced and could not utter a single word.

The look in her eyes displayed a silent plea for Felix to leave as soon as possible and not to worry about her. If they both stayed, they would never be able to escape.

However, Felix ignored her and remarked coldly, "So, you don't believe me?"

Jeremy's eyes narrowed as if he were staring at something beneath him.

"So today you're Madam Goddard's disciple," he scoffed. "What about tomorrow? Will another kid come along and claim to be Mr. Earnhart's disciple? And what about the day after that? It's absurd, and here you are saying it in front of the Larsson family. You're playing with fire!"

His statement was logical and made sense. Without it, larger families would struggle to maintain peace. But Felix found it absurd. How could someone act so confidently without any proof or evidence to back them up? It was as if they were fearless of any consequences.

"It appears you've been well-prepared for this. Time is limited, and there's no cell phone reception. You have all the advantages of the right timing, location, and people on your side."

Jared's lips curled slightly, and he silently cursed Felix. "Stupid fool, only now do you realize it? It's too late!"

Jeremy raised his right hand and pointed at Felix. "Your attempt to save someone from the Larsson family shows a blatant disrespect for our authority, young man. By the city's laws, I have every right to kill you on the spot."
