The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 14

The Phoenix Legion was formidable force led by Xena. Apart from the highest authorities in Dragonia, the army only answered to Xena.

The legion was stationed on the outskirts of Avesburgh. They occupied a vast area and were equipped with all sorts of advanced weaponry. Whenever they were deployed victory was guaranteed.

Because her unit was based here by national orders, Xena also had to reside in Avesburgh.

At this moment, Xena was in her office at the headquarters of the Phoenix Legion, reviewing some documents,

"There's a possibility that the S-ranked fugitive group-the Menacing Four-could make an appearance in Avesburgh in the coming days? Ha! Where did these thugs get the balls to come and make a mess in my territory?"

Just then, her office door swung open, and in walked her subordinate, Belle Frost. She was drop-dead gorgeous, a stunning beauty who had been under Xena for a few years now.

"Milady, there's news about the miracle doctor."

Xena leaped to her feet. She hadn't expected to hear back so soon.

""Let's hear it."

"The head of one of the affluent families in Avesburgh, Winston Cameron, has obtained a Miracle Card and has activated it. The miracle doctor is expected to arrive at sunset." Almost immediately, a frown appeared on Xena's face.

"The Camerons? They are ranked lowest among the reputable families in Avesburgh. How did they manage to get their hands on a Miracle Card?"

Life could truly be unfair at times. She was the nation's first goddess of war, yet she struggled to obtain a Miracle Card. On the other hand, the measly Cameron family managed to.

In fact, she knew a few families who owned Miracle Cards. But they were all of such high status that she couldn't simply force them to give it up. She did try negotiating with them over the phone, but no one was willing to part with the card. After all, a Miracle Card was their means of preserving a life on the brink of death.

To think that a Miracle Card would end up in this tiny piece of land called Avesburgh. It was just odd."

"Clear my schedule for the afternoon. I'm paying the Cameron family a visit."

Xena knew this was a delicate matter, and no one would dare allow outsiders. Not without the miracle doctor's permission. But who was she? The Cameron family wouldn't dare turn her away. "Yes, ma'am!"

Meanwhile, Felix had just stepped into a real estate office when he received a phone call from an unknown number.

""Who's this?"

"Felix, where are your manners? This was not how I taught you to behave."

It was Gerald!
