The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection novel Chapter 79

Chapter 79 

“Great! Wait for me in the living room, Joe. I’ll take a bath and wash up. It’ll be too disrespectful to meet Mr. Cane looking like this,” Xena said. 

Jordan was exhilarated as well. Once Wesley healed Curtis, everything would fall into place for him to be with Xena. 

At the same time, Felix stood outside the mansion and rang the doorbell. Yet, it was Belle and Jordan who came out. 

“Felix? What are you doing here?” Belle disliked him strongly. He was a useless good–for- nothing, but he still fantasized about marrying Xena. 

Just because of that prenuptial agreement? He was craving for what he was not worthy of! Even Jordan alone could easily take on an army of Felixes. 

“I’m here to visit Mr. Summers Senior. Is Xena here?” Felix asked. 

He had come over because Louie had obtained a Grimflower and delivered it to his villa. Felix verified that it was indeed genuine and came over immediately. 

After treating it with acupuncture techniques, the Grimflower could stop the Phantom Poison from spreading in Curtis‘ body. Once the nine other herbs were collected, treatment would be easier. It would be highly beneficial for him in the future as well. 

Hence, Felix still had to come despite his dislike for Xena. 

“So what if she isn’t? I’m sure Lady Summers had already clarified things with shameless of you to still show up here. Get lost!” Belle snapped. 

you. How 

Jordan also frowned. From Belle, he had learned about Felix and Xena’s promise to marry. Hence, it was natural that he didn’t have good feelings toward Felix. Back then, Jordan didn’t cause trouble because he completely looked down upon Felix. 

He said, “Felix! The most important thing in life is to recognize your own worth and to face reality. Even an office worker would never consider a useless village doctor like you, not to mention Xena. 

“Besides, I heard from Xena that you’ve joined a group of scammers. You’re lucky she didn’t arrest you, so don’t push your luck.” 

Félix glanced at him and frowned. “And who might you be?” 

“How dare you!” 

Belle stepped in. Pointing at Felix, she coldly said, “Who is he? How bold of you, Felix! He’s Jordan Hall, the apprentice of Wesley Cane, who’s ranked fifth among the top ten master

healers of Dragonia. 

“Jordan already has outstanding medical skills at this age. He’s deemed as a prodigy who might surpass Mr. Cane in the future. You, on the other hand, don’t even deserve to shine his shoes. How dare you speak that way?” 

A voice suddenly broke the tense atmosphere. “Let him check on Grandpa–I’ll give him five minutes. Chase him out when time’s up.” 

It was Xena speaking from the third floor. She opened the windows and turned to leave. 

“Humph! Come on in. You only have five minutes. Or else, don’t blame me for what happens after!” 

Jordan wasn’t angry since he knew Xena’s concerns. In a while, Wesley would be arriving soon. If Felix continued being unreasonable here, it would be too impolite. 

Ignoring the two of them, Felix headed directly to the room where Curtis was. 

Jordan tailed him closely. Seeing Felix taking out two silver needles, preparing to treat Curtis, he stopped him. “What are you doing?” 

“I don’t have to tell you what I’m doing. The two of you can leave,” Felix said. 

Belle moved over to intervene. Jordan was furious. “You’re just a no–name doctor from some village. You can only treat fevers or colds. How ambitious of you to treat Mr. Summers Senior! 

“Aren’t you overdoing it, trying to prove yourself in front of Xena? Do you even know what illness Mr. Summers Senior has? Ridiculous.”
