The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

"Happy now?" Xena asked, her expression displeased.

"Very," Felix replied with a smile and a nod. Dealing with someone like Xena required a different approach. In fact, he wasn't trying to take advantage of her-it was just a way to keep their dynamic intact. After all, chances to outmaneuver Xena didn't come often. As the sun set, the people from headquarters finally arrived-a gray-haired elder and a middle-aged man.

"Greetings, Marine Asura and Dr. Dixon," Xena said politely.

She had already given Felix a heads-up about the two visitors. The middle-aged man was Marine Asura, a Hellbringer from headquarters, whose strength was so formidable that even the Warlord of Thunder was no match for him.

The elder was Craig Dixon, the most skilled physician in the headquarters.

"Who is he? Why is he allowed to be here?" Craig asked, glancing at Felix with a frown. His curt tone hinted at his bad temper.

"Dr. Dixon, this is Felix Zeller, the owner of this clinic. He's a reclusive expert, hiding in plain sight. Not only is he highly skilled in hartial arts, but his medical expertise is exceptional as well. So-"

The Warlord of Thunder, aware of Craig's temperament, quickly explained, emphasizing Felix's importance. But Craig cut him off anyway.

"How capable could he possibly be? This is a serious matter. Otherwise, headquarters wouldn't have sent me and Marine Asura here. Have him leave."
