The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 895

Felix was stunned that he had been detected. After all, he had even activated the Nightshade Discipline. Back when he was with Helena, his presence could not be sensed even at close range. "What's the matter? Are you not willing to show yourself?"

Grinding his teeth, Felix revealed himself.

About ten yards away, an elderly man was standing there, watching him intently. The old man had an ordinary appearance, with slightly clouded eyes, and stood with his hands behind his back. There wasn't the slightest trace of fear or nervousness in his demeanor. "Sorry. Maybe we're just traveling the same path," Felix said, forcing a smile.

The corners of the old man's lips curled up slightly as he chuckled. "There's no such thing as pure coincidence in this world. Besides, I've never seen an expert as young as yourself."

As he spoke, the old man slowly extended his hands forward.

Felix noticed he was wearing gloves. Was he a Fish Man?

Felix was shocked. According to Pierre's stories, black scales signified the highest and most terrifying rank among Fish Men.
