The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 763 Chapter 763

Felix stood frozen, looking at Xena in disbelief. It weren't for his senses, he would have thought someone was impersonating her.

The matter of the Dragonspine had been known only to Gerald and his fellow apprentices. No one else knew about it. The only outsider who knew about it was the mysterious Billy. No one else could possibly know about it. Yet, Xena had just uttered the word "Dragonspine". How could he not be shocked?

"It seems it's true, then."

From Felix's expression, Xena got her confirmation and gestured for him to sit down. "You don't need to make excuses to pretend because I don't know much, either. In fact, I don't even know what the Dragonspine really is." Felix let out a bitter laugh and sat down on the couch. "Xena, I really can't tell you anything, but how do you know about it?"

Xena pointed at the air and said, "I was told by the higher-ups because the headquarters has a piece of the Dragonspine:"

What? The headquarters had a piece of Dragonspine?

Felix was completely stunned. However, he soon felt helpless. If it were anywhere else, he could find a way to get it. However, the headquarters was simply impossible!

If a conflict broke out, it would be equivalent to fighting Dragonia. He couldn't be confident enough to take that risk. Was it possible that the nine pieces of the Dragonspine would never be gathered?

Without hesitation, he agreed,

There was no way he could get the Dragonspine from the headquarters through any other means. Even Gerald's intervention wouldn't help. So, at this point, he had no choice but to go along with it. Moreover, since the headquarters represented the country, they wouldn't go back on their word. In
