The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 706
Candace noticed that the three of them remained silent, their faces somber.She continued, "I am aware that your headquarters houses powerful masters who may be able to defeat Skybound Revenant. However, by the time they arrive at the scene, many innocent lives may have already been lost."The Warlord of Thunder and Xena's expressions darkened, knowing that Candace was speaking the truth. While the headquarters may have strong individuals who can handle dangerous situations, it takes time for them to reach their destination. At that time, how many more people would fall victim was something unknown.Plus, modern weapons like missiles were not effective against a single target, and no one knew for certain how fast Skybound Revenant could move. The fact that he could fly only added to the problem at hand."Do you have proof? We can't just take your word for it," the Warlord said.Suddenly, Candace pulled out a small, round glass container from inside her arm."My husband gave thi

"Mr. Zeller, she can't die! Hurry up and do something!" the Warlord of Thunder shouted.At this moment, no one cared about anything else. The Warlord of Thunder immediately became anxious. If Candace died, the whereabouts of Skybound Revenant would never be known again.Even if they searched sect by sect, there would be too many unexpected situations that could occur. Moreover, who could guarantee that what Candace said about the sect was the truth? What if she had held something back?Felix shook his head in response."The impact of the martial energy on her body is currently taking its toll. Any external interference will only worsen the damage instead of promoting healing."After a few minutes, Candace's body stopped convulsing, and there was no more blood coming from her nose and mouth."Is she okay now?"Xena also turned to Felix, knowing how skilled he was in medicine."It stopped, but she's gotten even weaker. When I first saw her, I thought she had about a week left, bu

"Happy now?" Xena asked, her expression displeased."Very," Felix replied with a smile and a nod. Dealing with someone like Xena required a different approach. In fact, he wasn't trying to take advantage of her—it was just a way to keep their dynamic intact. After all, chances to outmaneuver Xena didn't come often.As the sun set, the people from headquarters finally arrived—a gray-haired elder and a middle-aged man."Greetings, Marine Asura and Dr. Dixon," Xena said politely.She had already given Felix a heads-up about the two visitors. The middle-aged man was Marine Asura, a Hellbringer from headquarters, whose strength was so formidable that even the Warlord of Thunder was no match for him.The elder was Craig Dixon, the most skilled physician in the headquarters."Who is he? Why is he allowed to be here?" Craig asked, glancing at Felix with a frown. His curt tone hinted at his bad temper. "Dr. Dixon, this is Felix Zeller, the owner of this clinic. He's a reclusive expert,

Craig responded with great confidence, "Based on your physical condition, I'd say you have at least two months to live. But it's hard to say if we factor in the backlash from your martial energy."Candace sneered. "Ha! I knew you were a joke. Dr. Zeller could tell with just one look that I only had a few days to live. You can't compare to him! Hurry up and bring Dr. Zeller to treat me!"Craig, who had been crouching, stood up in fury."Fine! Let's see how capable this Dr. Zeller of yours really is. You said he's better than me? Warlord of Thunder, go bring him back this instance."In fact, Craig had already thought it through. He didn't have much confidence in treating Candace. If her martial energy activated during treatment, he would be the one responsible for her death, destroying his hard-earned reputation.But with Felix as a scapegoat, he could easily shift the blame onto him.The Warlord of Thunder was astonished.Craig was one of the best physicians in Dragonia. Aside fr

Xena wanted to speak up for Felix, but she realized it would be futile, considering even the Warlord of Thunder didn't dare to say a word. Not only would her efforts be meaningless, but she might also end up offending Craig.Suddenly, Felix turned to Craig and said, "Fine! I'll treat her in front of all of you. But if I succeed, you must bow and apologize to me."Craig gritted his teeth. "What did you just say? Even your mentor has to show respect to me. How dare a young brat like you try to humiliate me?"Felix sneered. "If you don't agree to it, I'll take my leave now. I'm sure someone of your caliber, as a master healer, will have no trouble curing Caden. Why would I make a fool of myself?" "If you won't agree, I'll take my leave now. I'm sure someone of your caliber—a master healer—can handle curing Candace without any problem. Why should I embarrass myself?"Seeing Felix actually turning to leave, Xena chose to let him be. She knew it would be uself to try to make him stay. On

At this moment, Xena and the Warlord of Thunder knew the symptoms all too well. After all, they had witnessed it happening before when Candace's martial energy went haywire. Did this mean that not only had Felix failed, but Candace was also going to die? If the situation weren't so dire, Craig would have burst out laughing. "You fool! When Candace's martial energy starts activating like this, not even the gods can save her. Those seven needles weren't meant to heal; they would just accelerate her condition. You clearly have bad intentions!" Beside him, Marine Asura's expression darkened too. Everyone knew how important Candace was, and he felt partially responsible for this situation. "Who said I failed?" Felix remained calm as he threw the question back at Craig. "How dare you argue with me? I've examined Candace's condition myself. Another surge of martial energy will kill her! Don't think you can dodge responsibility with empty words!" As he spoke, Craig thrust an accusi

Craig chose to ignore those comments. Until Candace revealed her information, no one could touch her. "Well, well, are you trying to weasel your way out of this?" Candace questioned."Weasel my way out?" Craig glanced at Felix with coldness and disdain. "I was practicing medicine before you were even born. If it weren't for your dumb luck today, you wouldn't even deserve to speak to me. Let's go, and bring Candace along!" Xena could only shake her head apologetically at Felix as she followed Craig toward the exit. But then Felix's voice rang out, "This is the Seven Points of Transcendence! It harnesses the essence of all things. While I won't claim it can raise the dead, it comes pretty close. "The final step requires all seven needles to merge into one before injecting the extracted essence back into the patient. Only then is the technique complete. Are you trying to take my patient away before I've even finished the treatment?" Everyone froze in their tracks. Candace was t

No one expected Felix to be so harsh toward Craig. Even Xena was startled. "You!" Craig's expression darkened; no one had ever dared treat him this way. It was utterly humiliating. "Get out of my clinic! Now!" Felix would not have gone this far if Craig had apologized earlier. But now he was only apologizing because he realized it was the Seven Points of Transcendence. That was too late! "Hmph!" It would be too humiliating for Craig to stay there, so he turned and stormed out. Only Xena remained. "You went too far. Craig holds a high position at headquarters." Felix's smile returned. "Don't worry. I couldn't care less about trash like him." Before Xena could respond, she remembered something. Their legendary Chief Commander was Felix's fellow apprentice. If Craig tried to use his position against Felix, he would be fighting a losing battle. "Got it. Anyway, thank you for everything," Xena said.Felix pointed to his cheek with a chuckle. "If you want to thank me, how abou

Isabella gave an awkward laugh and put away her compact mirror. She had good principles, so she had never gotten involved with wealthy customers at the dealership. But people like Felix were truly rare. Soon after Felix arrived, he got straight to the point. "To be honest, Isabella, I need to buy something from Darren. I need your help."Having been warned by Nelly, Isabella thought for a moment before responding, "Felix, it's not that I don't want to help, but I've turned Darren down a few times already." Felix smiled. "You must have some feelings for him, right? Otherwise, you would have blocked his number by now." Isabella did not deny it. "Yes, I do. But marriage and life together need to be practical, you know? Darren's a good person and nice-looking, too, but he only has that one massage parlor. He can't even afford a decent house in Gray City, let alone anything else. "I'm not being materialistic, but there are basic living standards to consider." It was just as Felix

Darren frowned. "Didn't you hear what I said? Why are you still making offers?" Three years ago, Darren would have jumped at any offer and been terrified that they would change their mind. He would have sold it for even a few hundred thousand dollars, let alone millions of dollars. But back then, no one was interested. He hadn't known the value of the Nightshade Discipline or even that martial artists existed. Now that he knew, he wouldn't sell even if people were making offers. He often marveled at life's ironies. "When I say a building, I mean any building in Gray City. Name it." Any building? Darren almost laughed. Who was this guy trying to impress? "What if I said Summit Tower?" Summit Tower was a prime office building in downtown Gray City. Construction alone had cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and its value had skyrocketed since. Buying it outright would cost over a billion dollars, and that was assuming the owner would even sell. The rental income alone prov

"Why are you so fired up this early in the morning?" Felix asked.Melissa was still fuming. "Boss, haven't you seen what happened to the shop next door? It turned into a floral wreath boutique overnight!" A floral wreath boutique? Felix hadn't noticed earlier. He only remembered there being a beauty salon next door that was not doing well and was looking to sell. How did it become a floral wreath boutique? "Here's to good business! Looking forward to being neighbors." Billy walked in with a grin, which sent Melissa storming to the back room with one last comment, "That stupid fatso is the one who opened the boutique!" No wonder Melissa was so angry. No business would want a funeral flower shop next door. "Billy, what's your deal here?"Billy grinned and said, "Nothing. I quit my job at Sixview Peak and need to make a living somehow. Since this is all I know, I figured I'd scrape by with a funeral shop. You know better than anyone how effective my merchandise is against spir

In the private room, Clement was incredibly nervous. He never imagined Felix's contact from Concord Bank would be Dorian Yardley, the prestigious branch manager himself. "Dr. Zeller, I wasn't trying to keep secrets from you." After sitting down, Dorian smiled. He would have been in hot water if he had messed up this encounter. "It's fine. Status isn't important to me since you're all my patients." Dorian's smile widened. "No wonder your medical skills are so extraordinary at such a young age, Dr. Zeller! Few people could maintain such principles these days." Felix waved it off and turned to Clement. "Let me introduce my friend, Clement Parson. He's the one I mentioned earlier who's facing some troubles. I'd appreciate it if you could help, Dorian." Clement rushed over to shake hands as Dorian spoke, "That's a small matter. Dr. Zeller saved my life, after all. I'd look like an ungrateful person if I couldn't help with something this simple." By this point, Clement was too ha

Before Douglas could respond, Vernon jumped in, saying, "Oh, Clement, look at the company you're keeping! If this gets back to Mr. Yardley, you won't be able to survive anywhere in Gray City. You know the consequences." Clement was dumbfounded. He even started to wonder if Felix was just dropping names. After all, Dorian's status was on a completely different level.Douglas went even further by turning to Clement and saying, "Either you slap him twice, or you're blacklisted at Concord Bank after tonight. Your choice."He had been looking for an excuse to put this arrogant brat in his place. How dare someone try to get a loan while bypassing him, the lending director? Felix had just handed him the perfect opportunity. "Whew! Dr. Zeller, I'm so sorry that I'm late!" Just as Clement was about to throw them both out, heavy breathing came from the doorway. A man appeared, bent over and red-faced, clearly having run quite a distance. Before Felix could speak, Douglas and Vernon tur

In the other private room, Felix had already arrived and was sitting with Clement. "Don't worry. Someone has hit the back of his car. That's what's holding him up." Felix was telling the truth. When he had come up in the elevator, Dorian had called to apologize. He even sent a WhatsApp video of the accident scene as he was worried Felix might be angry. That was how driving was. No matter how good he could be behind the wheel, he could not control other drivers. Given Felix's status at the bank, Dorian would not dare stand him up even if his life depended on it. "No problem at all. Guests can be late, and it's perfectly normal. I really can't thank you enough for all this trouble, Felix." Clement was socially smart enough to show the right attitude when asking for help. If he could not even tolerate someone being late, what was the point of further discussion? "How big is your company's funding gap? How much are you looking to borrow?" Hearing this, Clement thought Felix was w

"Clement?" a middle-aged man with a huge belly stepped out and called out when he spotted Clement."Oh, Vernon. Are you having dinner here, too?" Clement forced a smile and kept his tone polite, though he actually could not stand the sight of the man. Vernon Parker had been one of his company's veterans. After he took over when his father passed, he quickly discovered Vernon's shady dealings behind the scenes. If left unchecked, those schemes would have eventually bankrupted the company. So, Clement had fired him without hesitation. Life had a twisted sense of humor, though. Vernon's nephew had struck it rich, which meant Vernon was now doing quite well himself. He would use his new power to undermine Clement's company whenever possible. As Vernon walked over, his smile dripped with contempt. "Drop the act. We both know where we stand." Clement maintained his composure. "Whatever happened, you were still one of our first employees. It's only right that I show you proper respec

At the Tranquil Clinic, a man walked in. "How can I help you today?" Melissa greeted him but immediately felt something was off. The visitor's gaze wandered shamelessly over her body. Even though she was fully dressed, she felt an urge to cover herself with her arms. "You fatso! What's wrong with you? What the hell are you looking at? Get out!" Melissa was not one to hide her feelings. Even if the fat man was actually sick, she would not be polite since he was being way too inappropriate. The man cleared his throat and finally looked away. "Is Felix here? I'm his brother!" Brother? Melissa was startled and quickly changed her attitude. "Oh, you're my boss' brother! Please, come in." Just then, Felix's voice rang out, "Like hell he is!" After just coming out of the bathroom, Felix was instantly annoyed when he heard those words. When he saw it was actually Billy, the supervisor from Sixview Peak, he became even more irritated. "Come on, Felix. I must be a few months older

Felix pretended to think for a moment before saying, "I treated someone who works at a bank. We're on good terms, though I'm not sure about his position there or if he can help." Willow's eyes instantly brightened up. "Really?" But she quickly became self-conscious. "No, we shouldn't burden you with using your connections. Just forget I mentioned it." Felix smiled. "They say good neighbors are like family. It's fate that brought us together as neighbors—and Queenie, too. If there's any trouble, of course, I'll help if I can. I'll make a call tomorrow and contact Clement if it works out." At this point, Willow could not refuse. Besides, the company was nearly at a dead end. Felix was not really an outsider anymore, and he had proven himself trustworthy, though they hadn't known each other long. …The next morning, Clement called just as Felix arrived at the clinic. "Felix, please don't listen to Willow's rambling. She sometimes speaks without thinking, so don't take it seriou
