Semua Bab The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection: Bab 1741 - Bab 1750

"You fucking say that again!" Roderick immediately flew into a rage, and one couldn't really blame him. After all, nobody would take being told they were about to die with a smile on their face.However, Felix showed no signs of panic whatsoever. Instead, he spoke with complete seriousness, "I'm telling you the truth! You have a tumor in your brain. It started as a regular brain tumor, but now it's mutated."Roderick spat, "Listen here, you piece of shit. If you can't back up what you're saying, I don't care about the money anymore. I'm going to slowly crush every bone in your body, one by one."Felix didn't take the threat to heart because he knew he could already get out of this situation. He explained, "You've taken too many meridian-enhancing drugs, which caused the brain tumor to mutate. "I can tell you with absolute certainty that in ten hours at most, the tumor in your brain will rupture. When that happens, it'll cause irreversible brain damage. Even if you're lucky enough

Time passed, and in an underground clinic in Utren, where several skilled doctors operated with advanced equipment, people who preferred to lay low came to seek treatment despite fees being several times higher than those in regular hospitals.Roderick now lay on the operating table, his eyes betraying no emotion. It seemed that Felix had been right after all—there really was a tumor in his brain. Though the doctors couldn't determine if it was about to rupture, the confirmation was enough.Yet, Roderick felt no gratitude in his heart. He believed it was just fate not letting him die, and his mind was already plotting other schemes."Prepare the anesthesia!"Several masked doctors entered the room and began pre-surgery preparations. After all, brain surgery was no small challenge. Just then, someone walked in. "Everyone, stop what you're doing."Roderick turned his head curiously and saw several more people enter. When he recognized the leader, he sat straight up in shock. "Mr.

At that moment, Zedekiah no longer wore his previous smile. He sat with one leg crossed over the other, examining Felix from a position of superiority. Combined with what he had just said, his dominance was on full display.Clarence laughed coldly in his heart. He had been tormented in the same way once. Zedekiah was truly no ordinary person. On the surface, he carefully maintained his reputation, readily attended to patients no matter how dirty or unpleasant, and treated Banilor Clinic employees quite well.Clarence had been fooled before, only understanding what it meant to know someone's face but not their heart after that fateful dinner."Felix, I want to see how you'll get out of this one. Once you offend Zedekiah, I'll be enjoying the show from now on," he thought.After a moment of silence, Felix surprisingly set the glass down. "As Mr. Goff's chief mentee, Mr. Lively can establish whatever rules he wants. But I just remembered that I'm not yet Mr. Goff's official mentee. Do

Felix was a bit confused. He had already given the prescription to Pedro and had explicitly stated that Pedro could use it freely. This basic gesture of gratitude wasn't an issue. But now, what was this about a senior getting involved? Truthfully, he hadn't even known Pedro had a senior.Embarrassment flashed in Pedro's eyes before he continued, "Alas, my senior truly has more natural talent than I. But unfortunately, since entering politics, most of his attention has been focused there. The gap between us used to be enormous, though I've nearly caught up now."Politics? Felix understood perfectly. In any place, the most irresistible thing was power. Regardless of whether you were a man or a woman, once you experienced the taste of power, it was definitely more addictive than gambling or the opposite sex.Felix said, "Mr. Goff, please speak plainly. The kindness you've shown me doesn't require this kind of beating around the bush.""Look at me—outmatched in attitude by someone half

The next black-clad man sat down, and Felix began checking his pulse again. Even Pedro wondered what kind of illness Elise had found in these men. Whatever it was, it wouldn't be simple. The entire future of their arrangement depended on this moment. If it didn't go well, there was nothing more Pedro could do.After roughly the same amount of time as before, Felix released the man's wrist, making Pedro curious. He could not help but wonder if Elise's real test was simply about Felix's self-confidence. After all, such a quick pulse reading suggested the condition couldn't be complicated.Felix said, "Ms. Chapman, I'm not sure what your intention is, but I find this rather pointless."Elise smiled. "Why do you say that?"His eyes revealed his exasperation as he replied, "Both men are in perfect health. Forget about serious illnesses—they don't even have a cough or cold. What am I supposed to treat?"This was also beyond Pedro's expectations. What? Both were healthy?The next mome
