The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 190

Just then, a young man appeared in the lobby. He held up his phone and said, "I'll now draw ten numbers. Those selected will wait to be called for treatment. The rest can continue to see Dr. Brooke." Felix's expression turned peculiar after he saw the young man. Wasn't this the guy from the fondue shop last night?

If that was the case, then the old man who treated that woman must have been Seth, the master healer. No wonder his medical skills were so impressive-Felix had only given a hint, and he immediately understood everything. Glancing at the nervous Jack beside him, Felix hesitated but decided to go over briefly. Having Seth examine his friend would put Jack's mind at ease, and Felix also had another matter to attend to.

After the ten numbers were drawn, Jack was disappointed. So was Xena on the other side, slightly shaking her head.

"What? None of us got picked?" Belle was stunned. Their luck was terrible. Neither she, Xena, nor any of the people they had brought along had been selected.

"Let's go." Xena was about to leave, but Belle was unwilling to give up and suggested, Milady, I could burst in there and reveal your identity. Surely Seth would be willing to help then."

Xena shook her head again. "We're talking about Seth, the fourth-ranked healer in Dragonia. Why would he care about me, a mere goddess of war? It would be futile."

They had not walked far when Belle suddenly noticed something surprising. "Milady, look! Felix is going in. Has he lost his mind?" Indeed, Felix was walking toward the guarded room but was immediately stopped by security guards. "Even if you were selected, you still have to wait for your number to be called. Understand? Go back and wait patiently," one guard said.

Felix replied, "I know the young man who just went in. Could you please inform him?"

The two guards sneered. They had seen too many people like this. Even when Adam Brooke occasionally invited famous doctors besides Seth here, people always tried to sneak in. "Leave now, or we'll have to get rough!" the guards threatened.

Belle's expression was full of mockery as she witnessed this. "Who does he think he is? Even a chief of Dragon Alliance wouldn't catch Seth's attention, let alone some nobody. It's ridiculous." Xena said nothing more, though she also thought Felix was being reckless and

presumptuous. She turned to leave.

Just then, the door opened, and the young man appeared. He was surprised to see Feliz. It's you!"

Felix nodded past the guards. "I'd like to see your master."

The young man immediately welcomed Felix in with utmost courtesy. The two guards broke out in a cold sweat. They became worried they might lose their jobs. They had not expected this guy to actually know Seth. Once outside Herbal Haven, Belle asked again, "Milady, are you sure you don't want to try again?"

Xena looked at the clear sky before replying, "Seth only treats ten people in each city during these free clinics. No one has ever changed his rules. Why waste more time? Let's go."

As she was about to get in the car, Adam rushed over from Herbal Haven. "Miss, please wait."

Xena looked at him quizzically, so Adam hurriedly said, "Dr. Fingle requests your presence.
