The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

At 11:00 pm, they finished their dinner. Jack drove Ronan and Felix to the banquet hall.

"Rest well, Felix. Leave everything to me!"

Ronan had been dragged into the car by Melissa. The latter threatened to break up with him if he made Felix fight this time. "Okay," Felix replied.

To be honest, he was a little drunk. The liquor was bought by Ryan and was made using a secret technique, so it was very valuable. Apparently, even powerful martial artists would be a little drunk after drinking it, so its authenticity was confirmed. Once they arrived at the place, they saw a large restaurant on Yartford's outskirts.noveldrama

It wasn't a coincidence that Ocean Whit chose this place. Since many experts were arriving there, they would be fighting a lot, and fighting wasn't allowed in the central area of Yartford.

When the three men got out of the car, a muscular man at the entrance said, "If you can make me retreat without getting me injured, you can enter the banquet."

That was probably the important step to entering the banquet-one had to fight gracefully.

After looking at the muscular man, Felix realized that the latter had reached Aetherial Realm. This proved the standards set by Ocean. If they weren't able to defeat someone in Aetherial Realm, they couldn't attend the Martial Arts Competition. However, there were no restrictions in terms of Realms in the competition. Even if one was a Marital Saint or Martial God, they could attend it. However, they couldn't be afraid of facing humiliation.

Silently, Ronan raised his hand, making the muscular man, who was at a distance away from them, retreat.

"You may enter!" The muscular man made a motion with his hands seriously.

Ronan was the fourth among the many martial artists who attended the banquet that made him fearful. Ocean was right. Many powerful yet nameless martial artists would go there. The courtyard was filled with tables, which were placed in two circles.

As the waiter led them to their seat,

Felix and the others sat in the center. They were four tables away from the center seat. Evidently, there seemed to be a reason why they were seated there.

"Our mission is accomplished, Felix. Let's slack off now."

Since Jack entered the place, he would be able to meet Ocean later on, allowing him to be successful in his future business endeavors.

"If you need my help in the future, tell me. Otherwise, I'll look down on you. I'll rest for a while. Tell me when this banquet ends."

The moment Felix closed his eyes, he heard someone say, "Ronan?"

Opening his eyes, he saw a pretty lady wearing a dress standing in front of them. There was a sword near her waist, which added a charm to her appearance.

"Milo? Are you attending this Martial Arts Competition?" Ronan questioned.

The woman, who was called Milo Nichols, nodded. Then, she looked at Jack and Felix.

"Are they your friends?"

Ronan smiled happily. "Yes. Let me introduce them to you."

"What's the use of introductions?"

Pointing at the other two men, Milo replied, "Both of you may leave."

At first, Jack was already irritated because he couldn't drink with Felix. As such, he became furious when he

heard that. "What did you sam
