The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Everyone remained on high alert, but within a minute, eight late-stage

Transcendent Realm experts appeared, arriving from different directions and in no particular order.

"Relax, I'm not here to cause trouble," one of them said with a smirk. "I heard that Mr. Zeller welcomes all late-stage Transcendent Realm experts and offers an Ascension Pill every two months. Is that true?"

The others immediately chimed in with agreement. It turned out they had all come to be bodyguards, almost leading to an unnecessary misunderstanding. The timing was just too coincidental-eight experts arriving simultaneously was bound to raise suspicion.

Hearing this, Felix chuckled. "Of course. If you place your trust in me, my promise stands."

Whether some secretly worked for the royal family didn't matter. Felix was no longer someone who could be easily crushed. If anyone tried anything, he could kill them without hesitation.

Besides, the first ten experts he had recruited were mostly people he already knew well, so there was little cause for concern.

More importantly, the royal family was the real enemy. Even if Felix couldn't outnumber them, he at least had to show that he wasn't an easy target. Let them understand that forcing their way through wouldn't be so simple.
