The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

In the end, Felix explained himself anyway-hoping that Nerissa could understand. Unexpectedly, after hearing it, Nerissa agreed without hesitation.

"Of course! I'm glad that you even told me about this! There was actually no need for that at all. As expected, men from the capital respect women more. Besides, if you can really cure Nala, you can also take her in."

Felix smiled bitterly. Was that something that could be casually said?noveldrama

"Nala is also a gifted girl. I would be very proud of you as your wife if you married her."

Fearing that Nerissa would continue saying such obscene things, he quickly went back to the Denverville branch of Harmony Clinic.

"So, nothing much happened?" Deborah asked.

Felix shook his head. "No, just a guy called Zayn Palmer came. He seemed to be the sixth prince from the royal family."

When Deborah heard this, she frowned. "The sixth prince? That man is incredibly vengeful, but he is royalty, after all. Without a public conflict, he wouldn't dare act too boldly. For now, there's no need to worry too much."

At this point, Dickson walked in smiling. He gave Felix a big hug and exclaimed, "Felix, you're truly my lucky charm! Hahaha! I really owe it to you this time. Tell me, how can I thank you?"

Felix had told Deborah to inform Dickson that the corpse of the Skeletal Demon was in Ophelia's room. Since no one knew that Ophelia had left forever, no one dared to enter her room.

Harmony Clinic had been hunting down the Skeletal Demon for a long time. By bringing the corpse back to the headquarters, Dickson naturally gained a great achievement! However, only Felix and Deborah knew the truth, and they certainly wouldn't say anything.

"Hahaha! Looks like the chief has rewarded you well!" Deborah said.

Dickson turned to her with a smile. "No, no, it's not much! It's just an Ascension Pill! Hahaha!"

He was in the late stage of the Transcendent Realm, and he truly needed the Ascension Pill. It was no wonder he was ecstatic.

"Well, if you want to repay the favor, then follow my disciple to Denverville. I will feel at ease only if you went with him. I'm only a weak old woman, so I'll only bring you down."

How could Deborah not learn from what happened in Echo Cavern? Dickson was definitely more reliable.

"Sure! The chief had also given me a long vacation to rest!"

After spending three more days with Deborah and Nerissa in Westville, Felix and Dickson set off.

"Dickson, do you think I should accompany Nerissa to the gathering of the Top Ten Menaces in three months?"

Nerissa had mentioned the annual gathering of the Top Ten Menaces just yesterday. She asked Felix to come with her to introduce himself there.

"Go ahead! Why not? You don't lack anything at all! Besides, it's best to make it public so no one would go near Nerissa again! That girl is very popular.

"Besides, even if you don't go, it's fine. But if you do, you'll have to intimidate other men and show them you're not easy to mess with!"

If that was the case, Felix now knew how to respond.

"Oh, and Dickson, do you also think the Maximus family has gone into hiding in the capital?"

Dickson frowned before replying,

"It's hard to say, but so many people have searched and found nothing They almost turned the entire Martial City upside down! Even the capital was thoroughly searched. The bounty was incredibly tempting at the time.

"As far as I know, many people in the royal family are also looking for them. Besides, there are so many people in the Maximus family, not just a few handfuls. That means it'll be even more difficult to hide!"
