The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Bern stood up and pointed a trembling finger at Felix. "No one stop me! I'm going to beat this little show-off into a pulp right now!"

However, no one even attempted to stop him! Delilah was laughing wholeheartedly, and Natalie was dumbfounded.

This was Felix's first time refining an intermediate pill; he not only succeeded in three attempts but also made six pills? It was so terrifying that it was hard to describe. Yet, throughout all this, he was more worried about the outcome.

"Sit down, Bernie! You know nothing at all! My disciple has high ambitions. And here I thought he was as easily satisfied as you!"

Delilah's eyes sparkled with joy. This was indeed her beloved disciple. She was also surprised by the success rate of his first intermediate refinement.

"Felix, making six pills on your first try has already broken the record of the alchemists of Martial City! If you don't believe me, you can ask old Bernie here how many pills he had made on his first try."

Bern calmed down, his eyes flashing with complicated emotions. Even with his relationship with Delilah, he still felt envious of her. If only he had met Felix first, he would've taken Felix as his disciple at all costs.

"Go and rest. Come to Harmony Clinic tomorrow, and I'll start teaching you the art of alchemy."

"Alright, Madam Goddard. I'll take my leave now."

Shortly after he left, Bern and Natalie also left. When they got into their car, Bern looked at Natalie with fiery eyes.

"My dear, beloved granddaughter, I've given the Ice Dragon furnace to Felix. Since it's a pair with your Fiery Phoenix furnace="

How could Natalie not know what Bern was implying? She immediately refused, "No! Absolutely not. Grandpa, I admit that Felix's talent in alchemy is terrifying, but he's annoying, and he's not a good man.

"He's not my type!"

"Bullshit!" Bern uttered furiously. He pointed at her and almost scolded her. "Those who achieve greatness don't care for trivial matters! As long as Felix lives, he'll become the genius alchemist in Martial City!

"One that nobody in the world has ever seen and might never see

again! Right now, not many people know his true potential-giving you the perfect opportunity. Otherwise, women pursuing him would line up from North City all the way to Bedford!

"Then, you would lose your advantage!"

Although Natalie knew that Bern was right, she herself wasn't inferior to anyone.

Besides, Felix had left a horrible impression on her.

"Oh, I know. What you say is right. I'll consider it."

"That's my girl!"

In reality, her words were just perfunctory agreement. From her eyes, any woman would be interested at first. However, after knowing what kind of double-faced bastard Felix was, they would definitely stay away from him.

At that point, there would be many women chasing after him, but none of them would be worthy. At the end of the day, Martial City was a city for martialartists. No matter how powerful Felix became as annoveldrama

alchemist, he would always rank

second compared to martial artists.

As soon as Felix returned to the clinic, a woman walked in with a disdainful

expression. She regarded Felix with contempt.

"Are you not here to see a doctor? If not, please leave." Felix was quite displeased when she didn't say a word after entering.

"Hehe! I thought you might have some extraordinary abilities, but it turns out it's just a small fry who just joined the Harmony Clinic. However, it's true to Laura's taste!"

Laura? Felix frowned.

"Are you from the Larssons?" he asked.

The woman's smile grew wider. "Smart boy! I'm Mindy Larsson—Laura's sister. Of course, I rarely admit to the relationship publicly. After all, it's already such a shame to have that bitch in my family!"
