The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter Billionaire With Husband 183



Chapter 183

Felix was also taken aback to hear the news. Thinking back, he had only met the Oasis Clinic chief just a while ago. He was honest and looked like he would do well in business and managing money. How could he just die in the blink of an eye?

"Did he die of an illness or other causes?" Felix asked.

If someone had poisoned him, that meant the rebellion in Dragon Alliance was so serious that they would dare to kill the chief. It was evident that they were unscrupulous with their

ways now.

Kane shook his head.

"I don't know. Mr. Zeller, the vice leader wants me to go over at once. I think he needs me to stand in as the temporary chief."

In Dragon Alliance, it was challenging for someone to be promoted from a regular member to a deputy chief, let alone be promoted to chief from deputy chief.

Kane knew he shouldn't be the next in line between himself and the other deputy chief. Maybe it was because the news that the Dragon Lord had returned had already spread among the rest of the members. Although Felix hadn't given out any instructions, the vice leader would have to consider the issue on hand. Otherwise, it would have been stupid and foolish of him to make such a decision.

"Then, go," Felix said.

In reality, Kane didn't want to leave. He could benefit more by sticking with Felix and doing things for him. But now, it looked as if Felix wasn't keen on having him stay.

Soon, the meat was done being cooked. Felix passed a few skewers of meat over to Kane.

"You've done really well. I won't forget everything that you did. Eat up," Felix said,

Felix's words gave Kane the reassurance he needed. Kane's perspective shifted as he now felt more touched than ever before. After all, Felix was the Dragon Lord, and it hadn't been necessary for him to speak so kindly to him like this. "Thank you so much, Mr. Zeller!"

Sam watched everything from the side. His brows furrowed every now and then. Ever if Felix were related to Kane, it just didn't make sense for someone of Kane's age to be talking to Felix in such a polite manner.

"If you get confirmed, send someone to Avesburgh as well. I'll still need someone to take

care of small matters for me occasionally."

Felix didn't plan on getting his hands dirty all the time. It was a lot more convenient for him if there was someone like Kane around to do his smaller bidding

"Don't worry, Mr. Zeller. I will definitely send someone capable of assisting you."

Kane was beyond grateful. The Dragon Lord trusted him, which was evident in how he talked to him. Felix even trusted him enough to appoint someone else an errand boy for him! Kane couldn't help but feel a little smug at that thought. Half an hour later, Dora finally arrived.

Kane had already left by then. After all, the death of a chief was a serious matter, and the vice leader had also personally told him to return. And, with Felix's reassurance, didn't dare to dawdle.

"Dora!" Sam called out to Dora as soon as he saw her, but he was immediately given a death glare from her.

"Shut up!" Dora shouted.

She then looked at Felix with all smiles and said, "Mr. Zeller, my younger brother is just a dumb idiot because he doesn't know any better. Since he still has all four limbs with him, that means there's still room for negotiations, right?" Sam couldn't believe what he had seen or heard at how coquettishly his sister behaved with Felix. She usually only ever acted that way with their father or grandfather. Anyone else who witnessed it would most probably get a punch in the face. Yet, here she was now, acting like this with Felix!

At once, Sam could feel his back getting wet with cold sweat. There was only one reason for his sister's behavior-the Clarksons did not want to get involved with Felix because there was nothing they could do about him.

"I can forget about you snitching to Xena, but your little brother here acted too pompously and needs to be taught a lesson."

Dora touched her nose rather cutely and said, "Oh, but Mr. Zeller, I couldn't help it! She's Lady Summers, after all! Even aristocrats like us would still want to get as close to her as possible. We're all businesspeople, you see. It can't be helped." In actuality, Dora was more shocked that Felix was still fine even after she had snitched about him to Xena. Did he perhaps have some sort of relationship with her?
