The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 847

Chapter 847

The old man stood there with a sincere smile.

It made Felix upset. Why didn't the old man attack him? He felt weirded out by it.

The man burst out laughing. "I was just kidding, so don't take it so seriously. Of course, I won't sell such a treasure for ten million dollars!

With that, Felix heaved a sigh of relief. Yes, this seemed to be on the right track.

"I heard from Mr. Sutcliff from Obsidian Auction that you have superb medical skills. Such an opportunity is worth a lot of money, so the ten million dollars is an honest deal. However, I would have to add your favor to the deal. How about that?" So, that was it. Felix immediately agreed, "Deal!"

Once the transaction was agreed upon, the old man waited for Felix to claim the furnace with his blood. Then, the two exchanged a few words before leaving.

On the way back, Felix was the one driving while Selmer sat in the passenger seat.

Selmer sat looking puzzled. "No one is following us! Mr. Zeller, to be honest, this might be the most bizarre trade I've ever seen."

Felix didn't know what to say, but even at that moment, he didn't drop his guard. This transaction was successfully completed, and no one would believe him if he told anyone.

Meanwhile, Wayne was talking to the old man. "Sir, did you get it?"

"No. I traded the furnace."

Huh? Wayne couldn't believe his answer. "Why? Are you unsure? Maxwell has superb medical. skills! It's impossible for him to be great in martial arts. He's definitely no match for you!"

The old man cursed, "Shit! You know nothing! I sensed the presence of a Shadow Mask on him!"

What? A Shadow Mask?

Wayne's mouth fell agape, clearly knowing what it was.

"No matter how he got the mask, he isn't someone we can provoke. We need to wait for the opportunity to get the medical book on refining pills and elixirs. But there will be no chance to make friends with such a person. "Don't you think it's more worthwhile to exchange the furnace for a favor?"

If it was a Shadow Mask, it would definitely be worth it.

"I understand, sir. You acted accordingly, but since the Shadow Mask was found, I'm afraid that certain events have begun unfolding."

"You're right. Continue to stay in Obsidian Auction and don't go back to the Skyward Guild yet! As the top guild in Dragonia, they will bear the brunt of anything that happens."

Wayne sighed discreetly. This time, the trade of the alchemy furnace might be equivalent to saving his life.

As the sun rose early the next morning, Felix felt a weight off his shoulders. He had been awake all night to ensure that nothing was going to happen after the trade. However, he didn't know why he was relieved. When he arrived at the clinic, he immediately announced, "I'll be leaving Gray City."

Melissa didn't mind and smiled. "I'll go wherever you go, Felix."

Beside her, Nala echoed the same, "Me, too."

However, Felix shook his head. "I have something to do this time. It'll take longer than necessary, and I'll be rushing. So, you all can go your own way.

"Melissa, I plan to let Selmer follow you, so you don't have to worry about your safety. You can go wherever you want to."

Huh? Felix didn't want her to follow him?

Melissa pouted immediately.

"I don't want to. I want to go with you, Felix."

But Felix was determined. He wanted to travel the entirety of Dragonia to see if he was lucky enough to find the remaining Dragonspines. He needed to improve his strength.

Apart from everything, the cloaked man knew that he practiced Dragons Destroyer, with him being only just a little weaker than Karina. That was like a weight hanging over his head.

It would be best for Felix to solve it by himself. It was impossible for him to rely on his fellow apprentices all the time.
