The Rise of a Master It Starts With Rejection novel Chapter 979

Jeremy was known for his ruthless nature. With a flick of his hand, he sent an invisible force toward Mindy. She had no time to even scream before she collapsed in a pool of blood, her final sound unheard.

Despite murdering his own family member, Jeremy acted as though it were no big deal and even managed to force a smile. "You can make one more request," he offered casually.

Once again, Felix was reminded of the heartlessness of the inhabitants of Martial City. It was a place where strength equaled power.

"Release Laura. From now on, she has no relation with the Larsson family."

Jeremy waved his right hand again, and the ropes binding Laura snapped. She landed safely beside Felix.

"Let's go," Felix said.

With a deep exhale, Jeremy finally relaxed, only to come face-to-face with Jared. "Jeremy, I believe I'm owed an explanation, don't you think?"

Jeremy narrowed his eyes at Jared. If this guy weren't the son of a high-ranking general in the city defense forces, he would have loved to give him a good slap.

"The object that Felix pulled out belongs to a respected member of the Larsson family. Madam Goddard once saved this elder's life, and as a gesture of gratitude, he gave her this item. As long as someone presents it, the entire Larsson clan is obligated to fulfill two tasks for them."

"It appears that Felix is truly Madam Goddard's disciple. Otherwise, how could he obtain such an item? Jared, I suggest you focus on your own affairs. The Larsson family no longer wishes to pursue any deals with your father. You may leave at this time."

It was clear that the ongoing conflict between Jared and Felix had reached a point of no return. Felix's future looked promising, having been accepted as a disciple by Delilah.

But if Jeremy continued to associate with him and Felix held a grudge in the future, it could lead to trouble.

Felix instructed Laura to go clean up and freshen up at the clinic before heading to Harmony Clinic to meet with Delilah.

A loud bang echoed through the room as Delilah reacted to the news.

She jumped out of her seat and exclaimed, "That Jared has some nerve! How dare he bully my disciple? That's why our phone call was cut short. This brat must think his father can make all of this disappear."

As Delilah prepared to intervene, Felix interjected, "Madam Goddard, it's not worth getting worked up over such a petty individual. I'll handle him later. My concern is that his father may be overly protective and willing to do anything for his son."

Jared himself may not have been intimidating, but his father was a powerful general in charge of the city's defense forces. He had significant influence and could manipulate the city's laws, such as cutting off phone signals and leaving someone helpless and unable to call for assistance.
