The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 39

Kane's eyes narrowed, and he looked quietly at Perry, who stood his ground in defiance.

"Really? Then, you can tell Lady Summers to come looking for me." He pointed at Perry and said harshly, "Get out!"

"I can't accept this! Dad, why is Felix so lucky? How can he be a distant relative of Lord Kane? Are we really just going to give up?" He looked at his crippled arm, feeling his rage burn.

The Goldwind Chamber of Commerce that Perry had established had only developed to its current scale because many prominent figures had helped him on account of Xena. They hadn't done it for Perry at all.

If those people learned that he and Xena were barely on speaking terms despite being relatives, everything would be ruined.
