The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 718
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

"Averill, I can assure you, your cycle is perfectly normal."In the courtyard of Tranquil Clinic in Eden Village, Felix Zeller slowly lifted his right hand with a look of helplessness.Before him stood six beautiful women, each with a unique charm. They were smiling as they patiently waited in line."But Felix, I don't feel well. Why don't you come to my room and do a thorough checkup?" Averill Davis said suggestively.Felix smiled wryly.Ever since his mentor, Gerald Hoffman, brought him to this village three years ago, he had faced constant teasing from these women, his fellow apprentices.Although he had gotten used to it, it was still tough to handle, especially when they were so alluring."Averill, don't push your luck.""Exactly! It's my turn now. Step aside. Don't even dream about having Felix all by yourself."As Leslie Brown sat in front of him, Felix sighed and pleaded, "Please, can't you all be more like Eloise, Dahlia, and Karina? Focus on your training and stop wa

By the time Felix stepped out of his room, everyone was already gone. With his departure, his fellow apprentices likely wouldn't stay in Eden Village either.Thinking about it made Felix fume. Three years ago, Gerald had brought him here and then disappeared without a trace. It was utterly irresponsible of him.The sounds of knocking pulled Felix from his thoughts.He looked up to see several unfamiliar faces standing at the courtyard gate. Even though the gate was open, they hadn't entered, showing some degree of politeness.Felix walked over and noticed a few Mercedes G-Wagons parked outside the clinic. Evidently, these were wealthy individuals."Excuse me. Is the miracle doctor here?" asked a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses, looking very refined. His name was Vincent Kinsley."The miracle doctor left this place almost three years ago."Vincent's face fell. The miracle doctor was a legend in Dragonia's medical world. He was their last hope, and now, he was gone.Besi

While Xena loved Curtis dearly and had tried every means to cure him, a troubling thought crept into her mind: she hoped he wouldn't wake up at this moment.That was because Felix was insufferable. Not only was he useless, but he also dared to act superior in front of a goddess of war like her. He clearly had no idea who he was dealing with.Felix didn't respond to her condescending remarks. Instead, he rushed over to check Curtis' pulse, his expression growing serious. "It's the Phantom Poison. No wonder."Xena frowned. "Are you saying Grandpa's been poisoned?""That's right. It's the most potent Phantom Poison there is. If it had been detected earlier, I could have neutralized it immediately. But it's been over a year, and it has become more complicated."We need some rare herbs to treat it. Thankfully, the master healers you contacted did a decent job. Though they couldn't remove the poison, they managed to keep him alive."Xena's expression twisted with a mix of emotions. "Lo

"Please, Dr. Fielding! Save my father. I'll give anything!" Vincent pleaded desperately.Bernard's life was crucial for the family, and as his son, Vincent was willing to do whatever it took.Xander sighed. "Your father will not make it through the night. But since I'm here, you have another option. I can extend his life by a month. Decide quickly."Before Vincent could respond, Bernard croaked out with great struggle, "D-Do it."Vincent quickly agreed. Prolonging Bernard's life for a month was better than losing him now.Meanwhile, Wendy had slipped out of the room, looking visibly torn as she held her phone. She remembered the phone number Felix had given them earlier that day due to her sharp memory."Grandpa, I'll do anything for you," she murmured, her face set with determination.…At a certain residential area in Avesburgh, Felix stood in front of a three-story villa, feeling a mix of emotions. It had been three years since he last saw Warren Quinton.Warren had been hi

The Quintons turned to Felix, each with different emotions. Warren felt an inexplicable excitement, whereas Nattie's and Sasha's faces were full of contempt."Felix, you've really learned a thing or two in the past three years," Nattie remarked, her tone dripping with sarcasm despite the seemingly complimentary words."A Rolls-Royce? Felix, you're amazing. I bet a helicopter will come pick you up the next time," Sasha chimed in with blatant mockery."Uncle Warren, I'll visit you again," Felix said, ignoring their words. He had more pressing matters, as the person with the Miracle Card required immediate aid.As Warren saw Felix out, Nattie and Sasha reluctantly followed. Their expressions shifted slightly upon seeing the Rolls-Royce Phantom parked at the gate, but they remained unimpressed."Are you Mr. Felix Zeller?" asked a man in a tailored suit and white gloves. He was Marco Jensen, the Kinsley family's chauffeur.Upon Felix's confirmation, Marco opened the car door for him a

Although Wendy and Vincent might not have understood the full extent of what was happening, the sight of the arrogant Xander sprawled on the floor in shock made them realize Felix was the real deal."Remove the needles in an hour. Your grandfather will wake up tomorrow fully recovered," Felix stated before turning to leave.He was here solely to fulfill Gerald's duty concerning the Miracle Card."Pierce of Trinity… My God, I can't believe I witnessed the Pierce of Trinity."Snapping back to reality, Vincent quickly nudged Wendy. "Go after him!"Then, he helped Xander to his feet and asked, "What's the Pierce of Trinity?""It's one of the most miraculous acupuncture techniques in traditional medicine," Xander explained instinctively. "The Pierce of Trinity can cure most ailments. Though it has been passed down, very few can perform it. I've practiced for five years and still haven't mastered it."Reflecting on Bernard's condition and the placement of the three needles, Xander h

Felix turned and saw Sasha.Just his luck.He didn't want to argue with her, but he decided to say, "Sasha, you don't have to worry about what your father said. There's no future between us. I'll break the news to him in a month."Sasha chuckled. "At least you're self-aware. That saves me the trouble. You'd better stick to your words, or you'll regret it when I do it my way."Ruth chimed in, "You might not know how popular Sasha is now. She has more admirers than she can count, and many of them are from wealthy families. You're no match."Then, she glanced at the tail lights of the disappearing Rolls-Royce Phantom. "Renting a fancy car might change your appearance, but it won't change who you are inside."Felix nodded, relieved Sasha wasn't pursuing him. He never liked her, not three years ago, and certainly not now. Her family's company's success had only made her more arrogant and superficial.As Felix headed into Luxe Dining, Sasha scowled, and her disdain became evident. "Ar

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

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

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
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 711
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

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
