The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 163

At the headquarters of the Phoenix Legion, Belle was flushed with excitement. "Milady! I'm sure Mr. Summers Senior is definitely going to be saved this time!"

Xena was equally elated. After all, it was the Miracle Card at stake. Once they had it, the miracle doctor would surely appear, and Curtis illness would be cured without question.

"Don't get too excited just yet. We still don't know exactly what the Kinsley family wants in exchange, and the publicity for this auction is everywhere. Even though it's only been one day, many big names are bound to come in." However, Belle was unconcerned. "I'd like to see who dares disrespect you."

The smile on Xena's face faded as her voice turned cold. "Though I am a goddess of war, there are plenty of people in Dragonia who don't take me seriously. Don't try to flatter me. It won't help us secure the Miracle Card." "Oh, I'll investigate which influential figures are coming to the auction."

Xena raised her hand to stop her. "No need to do that. Whoever is meant to come will come. With the Miracle Card involved, no one can afford to sit still. Have we contacted the Kinsley family?"

Belle shook her head. "Every member of the Kinsley family has switched off their phones. The entire Kinsley household is locked up tight. They clearly don't intend to see anyone."

It was just a casual question. Xena knew the Kinsley family was handling things correctly. Anyone else in their position would have done the same. If they made exceptions, they would offend powerful people left and right. Even seeing just one person could cause big trouble.

"Go ahead. I need to make a few calls to make sure we have the best chance tonight at the auction.

In a villa at Tabiner Bay, Yvonne was holding her phone.

""Miss, are you really not coming to Avesburgh for the auction?"

She heard that the Kinsley family was auctioning the Miracle Card in Avesburgh, but had yet to receive any instructions from her boss. Thus, she couldn't help but ask.

"I originally planned to go, but some troublesome people are also attending *fter discussing it with my family, we decided not to."

For someone to be considered "troublesome" by her boss, Yvonne couldn't even imagine who these people might be. After all, she was merely a lackey and didn't know everything. Chapter 163

+25 BONUS

"You can go ahead and go to the auction. Keep an eye on how things play out."

As for who would end up with the Miracle Card, any important person with enough influence would know immediately. It didn't require Yvonne to personally report back.

"Understood!"

After hanging up, Yvonne could understand why her boss wasn't too invested in this. After all, she already possessed a Miracle Card. Having another one would merely be a bonus, but only if it came at a reasonable cost. Meanwhile, in the villa next door, Felix was on the phone with Jack.

"Felix, I'm honestly embarrassed to ask, but the boss is putting pressure on me. If I can't handle this, my promotion to vice president might be affected."

Felix felt annoyed.

"Didn't you guys just close a big deal? Does your boss really still dare to threaten you?"

If that were the case, Felix thought he'd send Kane over to give them a warning.

"No, no. You've misunderstood. The boss wants to invite Wendy for dinner tomorrow. A few of the senior management, including myself, will be there. It's just dinner. I can't exactly refuse outright, can I?" So it was just dinner? Felix was speechless.

"Felix, don't you already have Wendy's phone number? Just call her directly. Why are you dragging me into this?"

He had already made arrangements to make sure Wendy wouldn't refuse Jack.

"I did call her! But her phone went straight to voicemail. What else could I do? It would be easier if it was just about the promotion."
