The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Felix took a sip of his beer before asking, "Do you really think this was a coincidence? If the Saphira family wanted to visit me, they could have done it anytime. Why specifically now?"

Although he was unsure about Barack's background, Felix knew the situation was not as simple as it appeared.

"Oh, by the way, Malcolm is a direct descendant of the Crayden family. He's also one of Lady Nala's suitors," George mentioned. "He's actually one of those powerful pursuers Mr. Gibson warned about earlier." The implication was clear-George wanted Felix to be careful. Felix merely nodded, as Nala's romantic affairs were not his concern.

Nonetheless, he figured Malcolm would likely let the Ethan incident slide after the Saphira family's intervention. After all, it was simply not worth the trouble.
