The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 187
Just when the old man was about to insert the second needle, he looked up at Felix, who had suddenly spoken. "Listen, kid. Don't you know she's having a stroke? This first needle will only buy her five minutes at most. These five minutes are crucial for treatment. Do you want her to die?" Felix was well aware the woman was having a stroke, but he had his reasons for intervening. But before he could explain, the old man's apprentice exclaimed, "You idiot! If you're not a doctor, shut your trap, and don't interrupt my master when he rescues someone! And if you are one, you should know how high the risk of death from a stroke is. Are you trying to kill her?" This outburst riled up the other customers in the fondue restaurant. Given the age difference, everyone was more inclined to believe the old man was a master healer, whereas Felix was just causing trouble. "Hey, boy, have you been hitting the sauce? How dare you butt in on something this serious?" "Yeah, just watch quietly

Suddenly, something occurred to the apprentice. His face turned pale as a chill ran down his spine. "But, Master! He… he never even touched that woman. How did he know about the tremors at the neck's acupoint?" The old man smiled wryly. "In traditional medicine, we rely on observation, listening, inquiry, and palpation. Have you forgotten?" "Of course not! You also can diagnose just by looking, Master. That woman's condition was sudden, so you checked her pulse to be sure. But that young man… how old is he? And he could diagnose the neck tremors so precisely, even with the stroke masking it." Shaking his head, the old man sighed. "Ah, Dragonia is full of hidden talents. Who would dare claim to be the best? As far as I know, only four people in the entire country can diagnose neck tremors by sight alone during a stroke." The young man knew who three of those were. They had to be the top three master healers and the miracle doctor, who was almost like a mythical character. "Let

Xena ignored Felix and entered the lobby with Belle. Herbal Haven was where Hector had informed her that Seth would be offering free consultations today. Her presence here was no coincidence. Not only had they come, but they had also brought along a few ordinary people to increase their chances of being chosen. Of course, Xena could not be too obvious about it, or Seth might catch on. "Jack, what's wrong?" Felix asked. He noticed Jack was still standing frozen in place a few steps behind. "Holy crap!" Jack snapped out of his daze. He grabbed Felix's arm as his excitement was beyond words. "Did… did you see that woman? My god! I didn't know such beauty existed in this world! Just one look and I feel like she's stolen my soul." Felix knew Jack was talking about Xena. He was not the only one—many in the lobby were stealing glances at her. She was indeed stunning. "Besides her beauty, what else did you notice?" Felix prodded. After some serious thought, Jack replied, "She seems c

Just then, a young man appeared in the lobby. He held up his phone and said, "I'll now draw ten numbers. Those selected will wait to be called for treatment. The rest can continue to see Dr. Brooke." Felix's expression turned peculiar after he saw the young man. Wasn't this the guy from the fondue shop last night? If that was the case, then the old man who treated that woman must have been Seth, the master healer. No wonder his medical skills were so impressive—Felix had only given a hint, and he immediately understood everything. Glancing at the nervous Jack beside him, Felix hesitated but decided to go over briefly. Having Seth examine his friend would put Jack's mind at ease, and Felix also had another matter to attend to. After the ten numbers were drawn, Jack was disappointed. So was Xena on the other side, slightly shaking her head. "What? None of us got picked?" Belle was stunned. Their luck was terrible. Neither she, Xena, nor any of the people they had brought along

Xena was stunned. She had not been selected, so why was Seth requesting to see her? It did not make sense. "Thank you, we'll be right there!" Belle quickly responded before turning to Xena. "Milady, it's strange, but why question it? Your grandfather's life is at stake." Xena agreed. This was not the time to overthink things. As they were about to enter, Felix walked out of the room. Despite passing each other, he did not say a word. "Did he get picked? Talk about dumb luck," Belle muttered. Xena did not dwell on it and went inside. "Hello, Dr. Fingle," Xena greeted.Seth remained seated as he said with a smile, "No need for formalities, Lady Summers. I've heard about your grandfather. I wanted to let you know that after I treat these ten patients, I'll come to your home." Though overjoyed, Xena could not help but ask, "If I may ask, Dr. Fingle, why are you willing to see my grandfather?" A flicker of confusion crossed Seth's face. But, given he was experienced at his job

"Are you saying he shouldn't have asked Dr. Fingle to see my grandfather?" Xena questioned.Frightened, Belle quickly waved her hands. "No, no! Milady, you know that's not what I meant." "Sometimes it's better to say less. Regardless of everything else, Felix did a good thing this time," Xena chided.The more Xena spoke, the more uncomfortable Belle felt. "Milady, Felix must have ulterior motives. He's going to such lengths to save Mr. Summers Senior because of that prenuptial agreement. When he wakes up, you'll surely do whatever he says." Even Xena was at a loss for words, especially since Belle's reasoning seemed sound. "It doesn't matter now. I just hope Grandpa will be alright. We'll deal with the rest later." Xena's response had actually shown her changing attitude toward Felix. She was no longer as aggressive and unyielding as before, though she had not realized it herself. …At two o'clock in the afternoon, in Xena's home, Seth slowly stood up. "Since you've already

Olly took out a box and opened it, releasing a unique scent. "This is a snakefruit. I can lend it to you for now. Have your people smell it. You might get some leads." Xena did not take it. That was because she realized she found the scent oddly familiar. She was certain she had smelled it on someone before. "What's wrong? Does it ring a bell?" Olly asked.As she was snapped out of her thoughts after hearing Olly's question, Xena quickly said, "Not yet. Don't worry, Mr. Davidson. I'll assign more people to investigate this." "Good. Thank you, Xena. He was my disciple after all, and it concerns the reputation of the Great Imperial Sect. We need answers." After Olly left, Xena suddenly froze. She remembered why the scent was familiar—she had smelled it on Felix. When she shared a bed with Felix last night, she wondered why he smelled so good. She had assumed it was a men's cologne, but now she realized it was the scent of snakefruit. Since Felix was also a martial artist who w

As expected, Jack looked at Felix while clearly trying to suppress his anger. "Felix, I've realized something. This kind of woman isn't worth pining over." Felix nodded and took out his phone. Trina continued to look down on them. "What? It sounds like you want revenge. But do you even have the means to do it, Jack? You're just a washed-up loser who tricked me into coming to Avesburgh. How dare you talk big?" Her boyfriend also threatened, "You really don't know what's good for you!" Right then, Felix's call connected. He was calling Yvonne, of course. Though their relationship was still undefined, he knew she would not refuse his request. "Felix, what's up?" Yvonne asked."I need you to fire two people from your Avesburgh branch's office. One's named Trina, and the other is her boyfriend." "Alright!" Yvonne readily agreed.After he hung up, Felix patted Jack's shoulder. "Let's go. It's taken care of." Jack immediately felt relieved and left with Felix without another wor

From what Melissa had shared, it seemed that the moment Mason died, someone must have sensed it right away."I feel like you're talking but not really saying anything," Felix remarked, raising an eyebrow.Melissa grew a little flustered. "No, it's not that! It's just… I have this weird feeling. If Mason really did have an accident, it would explain why those rumors popped up out of nowhere. "Ugh, if something really happened to him, the Jacobs family would probably be so furious. Mason's the most talented person they've had in generations."Felix did not continue the discussion, as a middle-aged man walked into the clinic at that moment."Hello, how can we help you today?" Melissa asked politely.Having an attractive receptionist really did make customers more agreeable. "I've got some stomach pain," the man replied, rubbing his abdomen."Please, take a seat," Melissa said, motioning toward the chair.Felix walked over and pretended to take the man's pulse. After a moment, h

Silas's voice carried a mix of desperation and pleading, with an undercurrent of fear that Felix found unsettling. He was confused by the warning about Zara and asked, "Mr. Grayson, what do you mean? I don't understand.""Don't ask questions—just remember your promise. Ernest was there when you swore never to meet with Zara again. That debt has been paid. Can you give me your word?" Silas pressed urgently.Felix wondered if Zara had escaped as it seemed the only explanation. "I'll keep my promise. Even if she finds me here, I'll avoid her completely."After hearing that, Silas seemed to relax a little. "Good. I hope you'll remember what you said."Felix hung up the call, shaking his head. The dynamic between Silas and Zara was so strange, as though there was some massive secret neither of them could share.…Melissa had already opened up the clinic. She was wearing a modest dress that completely concealed her figure. She asked, "Is this outfit acceptable enough?"Felix gave her

"This is so delicious! I'll have to ask Nelly for more," Felix said to himself as he finished the pasta.Shortly after, the doorbell rang— it was Queenie Larrington, his new neighbor from Villa No. 2. She stood there holding something rolled up.She explained, "I wasn't sure what to give a neighbor. I love painting, so I hope this is fine with you.""Thank you, that's very thoughtful of you," Felix replied.But Queenie did not stop there. She added hesitantly, "Could you take a look at it now? I'd love to hear your thoughts. I'm not a professional, but I really enjoy painting.""Of course," Felix agreed. He carefully unrolled the painting and was shocked to see the painting. He exclaimed, "This is incredible! How did you capture me so well after meeting just once?""So... it's good?" Queenie asked nervously."Beyond good. It's incredible! You've got some serious talent—you're definitely gifted."Queenie smiled at the compliment and left shortly after. Felix returned inside,

Melissa's outfit at that moment was enough to make almost any man lose his composure.She wore a tight, white nurse's uniform that hugged every curve of her body. The top had only three buttons, barely containing what it needed to, and with her figure somewhere between a D and E cup, it created quite the spectacle. As for the skirt, it stopped just at the top of her thighs, paired with black stockings that did not leave much to the imagination—it was something straight out of a man's fantasy.Five minutes later, Melissa returned to the room with a breezy attitude."You men are so weird," she said, shaking her head. "That guy was sweating bullets from pain and still asked for my number!"Felix's expression darkened instantly. "Melissa, are you seriously planning to work in that?"She blinked in confusion and glanced down at herself, even spinning around for effect. "What's wrong? You're the doctor, and I'm the nurse. Isn't this what nurses wear?"Felix's eye twitched as he force

"You must be quite famous to scare this kid just by showing up," Felix joked.Kurt remained respectful, remembering Clement's warning that if Felix were dissatisfied, Kurt's position would be forfeit. His status in Gray City might be impressive, but compared to Clement, he was nothing."Since he's troubled you, Mr. Zeller, I'll take him away and handle it to your satisfaction," Kurt offered.Huxley was terrified but knew he had to beg for mercy—if Felix spoke about this incident, the consequences would be devastating. Everyone knew those who crossed Kurt met terrible fates, often along with their families."Please, no!" Huxley sobbed, but Felix waved dismissively."Get out of here, and don't let this happen again," Felix said, having no interest in wasting time on such trivial matters."You heard Mr. Zeller," Kurt prompted.Huxley scrambled away, vowing never to harass anyone again, no matter how ordinary they seemed.After George and Kurt left 30 minutes later, Felix finally h

Huxley relaxed slightly when the Rolls-Royce drove away, and the crowd began to thin. After all, everyone had at least one wealthy friend—this he could handle."Nelly, this little show doesn't make Felix any more impressive," Huxley mocked, pointing at the Lamborghini. "Anyone can rent a luxury car nowadays with some cash. So what's your answer about tonight?"Before Nelly could respond, Felix pulled her inside the clinic. "There's someone I want you to meet."Huxley was furious but hesitated to act with George present, deciding to wait until the Lamborghini left before teaching Felix a lesson."Mr. Gibson is frustrated he couldn't make it back from abroad, but he arranged for a gift that should arrive soon," George mentioned, referring to Ryan rather than Clement as Felix initially thought.Felix sighed. "Please don't make arrangements like this without asking. If everyone shows up, how am I supposed to run a normal clinic?" Gray City and Avesburgh were about the same size, an

Nelly had always maintained professional distance with all her clients, which had worked to discourage Huxley's advances since he was never really interested in buying property. However, Felix's arrival completely disrupted that delicate balance.After a long moment of internal struggle, Nelly agreed. "Fine, I'll have dinner and karaoke with you tonight, but that's all."Huxley smiled darkly, knowing she would not have any control over what happened once she was there, especially after he slipped something into her drink."That won't be necessary," Felix interrupted firmly. "I actually appreciate having all these people guarding my clinic. Nelly, please go home."Upon seeing Huxley's expression turn venomous, Nelly panicked. "Mr. Zeller, please stay out of this. I know what I'm doing.""I said it's not necessary," Felix repeated calmly.Huxley's expression darkened as he grabbed Felix's collar. "Do you actually think having Clement back you up makes you untouchable? What's your c

Xena nodded slowly. "Of course, I've heard of them! Everyone who joins gets that training at headquarters. "How could anyone not know about the legendary Chief Commander? But what does this have to do with Felix?"She had tried calling Conan earlier, but he had been too scared to say anything. Hence, she was now questioning Alistair."The legendary Chief Commander appeared today—she's Felix's senior," Alistair explained. "One call to Hugh, and within minutes, they discovered the forensics team had falsified everything on the phone.""What?" Xena shot up from her chair. "Are you absolutely certain Felix's senior is the legendary Chief Commander?"Though Alistair only responded with a telling look, she knew it was true. The news was absolutely staggering—this connection was far more significant than knowing any warlord."Based on Mr. Spade's reaction, the Chief Commander hasn't aged a day," Alistair added thoughtfully.Xena gave a bitter laugh. "Of course not. One can only imagin

Conan did not want to stay a second longer in this place. After all, this was the legendary Chief Commander, someone even Lionel respected. He had really shot himself in the foot this time, wishing he had shown better judgment.After they left, Felix breathed a sigh of relief, finally understanding why the forensics results were compromised. It seemed John had timed his report precisely for this reason."Thank you, Mira," Felix said sincerely.Averill immediately protested with a mischievous grin. "What about me? Don't forget you did nothing but lie in bed last time. You should thank me for my hard work too."Felix felt his face burning with embarrassment—only Averill would make such suggestive comments in front of Mira."How did you two end up coming together?" he asked, trying to change the subject.Mira's eyes sparkled with amusement. "I was too lazy to track you down, so I had Averill do the legwork." She turned to Averill and added, "Don't you have a flight to catch?"Ave
