Semua Bab The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection: Bab 1721 - Bab 1730

Katie exclaimed, "Wow! Felix, you bought so much seafood!" At home, Katie stared at the groceries Felix carried through the door. Though she was practically drooling at the sight, she shook her head disapprovingly and said, "You shouldn't waste money like this! We got some savings from selling the shop, but you'll need every penny to learn at Banilor Clinic. "Plus, the doctor said seafood's off-limits for me." Felix smiled. "Don't worry about it. I know what I'm doing. I saved Tasha Sharpe's daughter today, and she gave me a million dollars as thanks. What's wrong with enjoying a little seafood?" When Katie heard that he had been rewarded with a million dollars, she widened with shock. She'd never seen that kind of money in her life. Her mouth watered again before she remembered her restrictions, making her cheeks puff out in frustration. "You're actually allowed to eat this. I asked Mr. Goff about it. Those other doctors only restricted your diet because they wanted to play

Pedro's frown deepened at Felix's bold claim. Sensing an opportunity, Clarence jumped in. "Felix! How dare you speak to Mr. Goff like this? You only spent about five seconds with those residues, and now you claim to know all eight herbs! "Mr. Goff has always taught us that having baseless confidence is the worst thing ever in the medical field. It would easily lead to misdiagnosis. Yet here you are, doing exactly that!" Then, he turned to Pedro with a concerned expression. "Mr. Goff, we should remove Felix from Banilor Clinic immediately. Someone this reckless will eventually harm our reputation. It'll be too late by the time he causes a real problem." Rodney and Pauline remained silent since they had no authority to speak, but they felt helpless. Felix had something that Pedro hated the most. His chances of passing this round seemed grim. But Pedro studied Felix closely, noticing the clear confidence in his eyes. This made him pause. Containing his irritation, he said, "Fine,

Felix let out a deep sigh. "Really? Do we have to go this far?" Clarence just stood there with a smug smile, not saying a word. Chester, though, piped up with a grin. "Don't blame me, Felix. Mr. Harrell's cutting you a break here. Otherwise, you might already be a dead man." Felix slowly looked up. "I hate to break it to you, but you can't lay a finger on me." This cracked Clarence up, and he laughed. "What, you think someone is going to come and save you? Just brace yourself for the pain train that's coming." Out of nowhere, several loud thuds echoed through the alley. Clarence and Chester watched in shock as the thugs sneaking up behind Felix dropped like flies without any warning. After they hit the ground, a deep voice cut through the air. "I won't allow you to touch this young man." Chester turned toward the person who'd just flattened his men and felt his blood run cold. "Mr. Newman?" Arlo Newman ran the underground circles of East District—even Chester had to for

Rodney frowned. "Why are you asking about something like this? Mrs. Sharpe is a VIP. Do you think I can just casually reveal information about such an important client?"Felix was well aware of this protocol, but he wouldn't have come if he hadn't had some confidence in getting Rodney to talk. This matter had to succeed; otherwise, if Clarence attacked again, who knew if Felix would survive."So, it's not Mrs. Sharpe who's sick, but her daughter," he stated matter-of-factly."You!" Rodney fumed, realizing too late that he'd fallen into Felix's trap. This guy's mind worked incredibly fast. He growled, "Get out of here right now. I'll pretend you never came." In truth, this was exactly what Felix wanted to confirm—that Tasha had sought Pedro's help for Claire. But there were still things he needed to clarify. When he saved Claire that day, he had already checked her pulse and naturally discovered what illness she had."Mr. Madden, you were present when I passed Mr. Goff's test. You

Throughout his explanation, Felix never mentioned Pedro specifically, relying instead on Tasha to connect the dots herself. This approach would only work with someone like Tasha, a powerful figure with a strategic mind who would read between the lines—an ordinary person would never believe such a vague claim.Sure enough, Tasha looked at Felix, deep in thought. She concluded this must be Pedro's latest formula, but he couldn't openly acknowledge it to protect his reputation. Knowing Felix had saved Claire, Pedro likely saw him as the perfect messenger. This way, if the prescription failed, Pedro wouldn't be connected to it, but if it worked, he could begin implementing it on a larger scale.Tasha felt no anger at all about Claire being used as a test subject. Instead, she felt fortunate—this opportunity existed only because of her relationship with Pedro, as others wouldn't have this chance. She wouldn't pass up even the slightest possibility of curing her beloved daughter."Fin
