The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 177

Felix didn't struggle against Xena and just followed her out of the elevator. Since Xena was here, that meant the masked man in the elevator had to be one of the most dangerous wanted criminals out there.

He debated with himself for a brief moment. Ultimately, just before the doors closed, he shook his hand and secretly shot a needle at the man still inside.

With how powerful the masked man was, Xena was definitely going to have to put up a serious fight if she wanted to take him down. And since Felix had run into their little operation here, he figured he should help her.

In addition to that, they were in the middle of the bustling city center. If Xena and her team couldn't control the masked man, there would be other innocent casualties along the way.

As expected, the smile on Xena's face had long vanished. "This place is very dangerous. Leave as quickly as you can!" Then, she sprinted toward the emergency staircase.

Felix couldn't deny that the somewhat coquettish Xena just now had a certain charm to her. Any man who saw her like that would instantly fall for her. After all, Xena was often cold, aloof, and serious, with a certain air of power and arrogance to her. Of course, with her current power and position, it felt like a whole other experience altogether.
