The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 163

At the headquarters of the Phoenix Legion, Belle was flushed with excitement. "Milady! I'm sure Mr. Summers Senior is definitely going to be saved this time!"

Xena was equally elated. After all, it was the Miracle Card at stake. Once they had it, the miracle doctor would surely appear, and Curtis illness would be cured without question.

"Don't get too excited just yet. We still don't know exactly what the Kinsley family wants in exchange, and the publicity for this auction is everywhere. Even though it's only been one day, many big names are bound to come in." However, Belle was unconcerned. "I'd like to see who dares disrespect you."

The smile on Xena's face faded as her voice turned cold. "Though I am a goddess of war, there are plenty of people in Dragonia who don't take me seriously. Don't try to flatter me. It won't help us secure the Miracle Card." "Oh, I'll investigate which influential figures are coming to the auction."

Xena raised her hand to stop her. "No need to do that. Whoever is meant to come will come. With the Miracle Card involved, no one can afford to sit still. Have we contacted the Kinsley family?"

Belle shook her head. "Every member of the Kinsley family has switched off their phones. The entire Kinsley household is locked up tight. They clearly don't intend to see anyone."

It was just a casual question. Xena knew the Kinsley family was handling things correctly. Anyone else in their position would have done the same. If they made exceptions, they would offend powerful people left and right. Even seeing just one person could cause big trouble.

"Go ahead. I need to make a few calls to make sure we have the best chance tonight at the auction.
