The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 612

When Felix emerged from the lab, the entire place was engulfed in flames. Not a single child had survived-not even the one who had been bleeding horribly. Despite his efforts, he could not save any of them.

The horrors he had witnessed pushed Felix past his breaking point. In his mind, the entire Polaris leadership had to be complicit in this horror. These people did not deserve to live every extra day they drew breath was an insult to the children who had suffered and died. Even in the storm of his emotions, Felix stayed focused.

Yates Jordan, Polaris' first grand elder, beamed with genuine delight as he welcomed them. "It's been years since I've been this happy. Thank you all for coming"
