The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Earlier in the day, Felix had sent Xena a message about a newly released comedy movie, suggesting they watch it together in a few days. To his surprise, Xena replied that they could go that very day.

"Have you solved that case you were working on?" Felix asked.

The case involved over a dozen children, and Felix knew how deeply it had affected her. He didn't think she'd be in the mood for a movie otherwise.

"It's been solved. However, I can't share the details with you."

"Solved?" Felix thought to himself, frowning. He had personally dealt with the mastermind behind it, ensuring the case would remain a mystery. How could it possibly have been resolved? Something about this was odd. "They've caught someone?" Felix pressed. "Come on. You know I'm not the type to spread things around. Tell me."

His curiosity got the better of him, and he couldn't resist probing further, even if it risked annoying her.

After a moment of hesitation, Xena finally relented. "Alright. I guess I can tell you since the case is officially closed. The mastermind was identified as Yates Jordan, the Supreme Elder of Polaris. He turned himself in at the Wolfie troops' headquarters." "Yates Jordan?" Felix was stunned.
