The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 1059

Felix was stunned. His casual conversation with Dickson had proven true. The person emerging from Corpse Town was none other than Dean.

Back then, Dickson had joked that with such a high bounty and no trace of the Maximus family, there were only two possibilities. Either they had gone to the capital, or they had hidden in one of the Three Forbidden Lands.

But how likely was the latter? Everyone in Martial City knew the Three Forbidden Lands were places of no return. Why would the entire Maximus family hide there?

Yet, here was proof. Their elder—and only master of the Transcendence Realm— had appeared. What more evidence was needed?

Seeing his enemy made Dean's blood boil. Once, he, the Grand Elder, and two masters of Transcendent Realm had worked together. But not only had they failed to capture Felix, but they also watched him survive the Echo Cavern-a place that should have meant certain death.

Though hiding in Corpse Town, Dean occasionally ventured out in disguise. That was why he kept informed of certain news. This meeting seemed fated.

After his brief shock, Felix panicked. Though Dean couldn't kill him alone, any delay would let the other four catch up. The outcome then would be obvious.
