Semua Bab The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection: Bab 961 - Bab 970

Half an hour later, in the most luxurious reception room of Harmony Clinic in North City, Natalie helped an elderly man into the room.Though the old man's hair was white, his steps were steady, and his face was lit with a warm smile. His demeanor alone exuded a vitality that many young people could only envy."Is it just you? Where's Deborah?""Please don't be upset, Mr. Earnhart Senior. Madam Goddard is handling an urgent matter," Nellie said respectfully. Her tone was humble, as she was addressing Bern, the top alchemist of Martial City. She didn't dare show even a hint of disrespect. It would be far too inappropriate.Besides, in all of Martial City, only a handful of people dared to call Deborah by her first name, and Bern was one of them."What could that woman possibly be doing that's more important than meeting me?" Bern's smile faded, replaced by a clear look of displeasure. Natalie quickly tried to calm him."Grandpa, maybe Madam Goddard really does have something very

While Natalie furrowed her brows in thought, Felix's heart sank. The surname "Earnhart" was far too distinctive for him not to make a connection. Moreover, if Atlas was pestering Natalie, it meant they were likely of similar age. Felix had every reason to suspect it was the same guy who had come looking for him in the capital last time."Never mind. That guy is relentless—it's impossible to avoid him anyway," Natalie said firmly.The messenger nodded and vanished. Natalie turned back to Felix, only to be startled by the look on his face.Felix was openly staring at her with a roguish gleam in his eyes, the kind of gaze that made her feel as though she weren't wearing any clothes."Are you deliberately getting close to me, miss? Do you have a little crush on me?" he asked.For a moment, Natalie felt dazed. It was as if she were suddenly speaking to a completely different person."You've got it all wrong," she replied. "I was just asking a casual question."However, Felix's ga

Felix would never forget the scene he had watched in the video before. Cordelia, unwilling but resigned, had left him to protect him. Later, he learned some details from Nala, which led to this question.No matter what happened, he still wanted to know more."Why would you ask that?" Deborah shot back.Looking at the intriguing smile on Deborah's face, Felix felt a bit nervous. This new mentor of his was no ordinary person. She was really good at noticing things."Since coming to Martial City, all the powerful people I've encountered have been women, so I started wondering if it's true that women here are more talented?"Deborah laughed at his comment. "Well, you're not entirely wrong. Let me answer your question directly. The most powerful woman in Martial City is known as the Empress. She is the strongest member of the royal family, and you could say she is the most powerful person known in Martial City."Could the Empress be Cordelia?"Thank you, Madam Goddard."Indeed, Mart

Although Nala had advised him not to wear the Shadow Mask in Martial City, Felix couldn't care less at this critical moment. He wasn't impulsive, acting cautiously. He knew that Martial City was full of powerful people. Who knew whether the guy with the Dragonspine was strong or weak? That was why Felix decided to follow the man—to at least have an idea of who he was. With that, Felix quickly headed out. He moved rather quickly, reaching his top speed, which was barely faster than that of the other man.He could tell that the man was definitely not weak. As they arrived at an alley, Felix stopped. On the other hand, the man didn't move either. However, they both stood where they stopped."You've been chasing me for so long, yet you don't dare to come over?" The voice coming from the alley was sinister. It was a voice that would send chills down anyone's back. Felix remained calm and composed—continuing to hide in the shadows."Hmph! You're hiding in the shadows? Let's see wh

After some thought, Felix finally let up the thought. It was best for him to be cautious when it came to the true Dragonspine. In fact, it was because he was no match for Dickson, and he wouldn't be able to take control of the situation.Despite working at Harmony Clinic together, it meant nothing. Even biological brothers would turn against each other in the face of interests—let alone relationships. Even if Felix mentioned Deborah, he couldn't entirely rely on that fact. As he pondered the thought, the energy of the true Dragonspine soon faded away and he couldn't feel it anymore. All his thoughts were completely dispelled."Don't worry, I won't question you. Go back to the clinic. Even though you're in the Physical Refinement Realm, it's best not to leave the city unless absolutely necessary. "It is even dangerous for me, do you understand?"No questions? Felix felt relieved. Dickson really didn't seem that bad. "Thank you, Mr. Marlow. I'll head back to the clinic first."
