The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 648

In a secluded forest in Dragonia, Sarah suddenly sat up from her sleep, a mysterious smile slowly spreading across her face. She mused, "Well, well, things are moving faster than I expected... The real show is about to begin." The next morning, Xena playfully shoved Felix away. "You jerk, stop it! I need to get to work!"

Thanks to her martial arts training and enhanced stamina, she was able to get up at all- most women would not have been able to move after such an intense first time, especially after a night of passion. "Alright. We'll continue at my place tonight," Felix teased. "Though I seem to remember someone being quite vocal-"

Felix pushed the whiskey toward Jack with a laugh. "What are you? A woman? You're being too sensitive. Less talking, more drinking!"

Jack smacked his lips thoughtfully. "Come on! You never invite people for drinks at noon. Something big must have happened-spill it, or I'm leaving." Knowing he could not hide anything from his best friend, Felix came clean. "I have a girlfriend now, and we'll probably be getting married soon."

Jack was stunned. "Are you serious? Isn't that moving pretty fast?"

nodded confidently. "It's absolutely true! But I'm keeping her identity a secret for now. When the time's right, we'll all have dinner together. I promise you'll be in for a big
