The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 109

Upon receiving Felix's assurance, Hugo leaped up. "No, no! Thank you, Mr. Zeller, for this opportunity. Thank you!"

Hugo grasped Felix's hand with both of his, showing immense gratitude. When he realized Felix was Ernest's savior, he thought his fate was sealed. To his surprise, the situation took a dramatic turn.

"Are you happy with this result, Mr. Holt Senior?" Felix asked as he prepared to leave.

Ernest's eyes gleamed with a brief flash of insight, and he nodded. "Yes! Perhaps life's destiny is truly preordained."

Felix smiled. As expected of someone who had survived the battlefield, Ernest saw through the essence of the handshake.

On their way back, Kane couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Zeller, are you really letting Hugo off the hook? Regardless of your Dragon Lord status, you could have done whatever you wanted after saving Mr. Holt Senior's life." Felix shook his head. "No, Kane. You're still too caught up in the underworld mentality and seeing things narrowly.

"With Mr. Holt Senior's status, even without my presence, he was ready to question Hugo fiercely about any wrongdoing before he would even consider protecting him. Do you expect me to take Hugo away right in front of him?" Kane was stunned. Indeed, he hadn't considered this aspect. Being accustomed to dominating in Avesburgh, he hadn't thought that far ahead.
