The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection
With Husband 706

Chapter 706

Candace noticed that the three

Candace noticed that the three of them remained silent, their faces somber.

She continued, "I am aware that your headquarters houses powerful masters who may be able to defeat Skybound Revenant. However, by the time they arrive at the scene, many innocent lives may have already been lost." The Warlord of Thunder and Xena's expressions darkened, knowing that Candace was speaking the truth.

While the headquarters may have strong individuals who can handle dangerous situations, it takes time for them to reach their destination. At that time, how many more people would fall victim was something unknown. Plus, modern weapons like missiles were not effective against a single target, and no one knew for certain how fast Skybound Revenant could move. The fact that he could fly only added to the problem at hand. "Do you have proof? We can't just take your word for it," the Warlord said.

Suddenly, Candace pulled out a small, round glass container from inside her arm.

"My husband gave this to me. Inside is a mple of Skybound Revenant's skin tissue in its Elder Revenant stage. You can conduct tests on it and see that I'm telling the truth."

The Warlord of Thunder took the container. With a wave of his right hand, the Warlord of Thunder rendered Candace unconscious, and she fell to the ground.

"I'll arrange for someone to transport it immediately to headquarters for testing. Candace's statement must be reported to the headquarters as well. The two of us cannot make a decision on this matter.

"You stay here and watch over Candace. With Mr. Zeller present, even if she wakes won't be able to cause any trouble."

up, she

Xena nodded in agreement. As the Warlord of Thunder left, Felix and Xena were left alone in the clinic, and an awkward atmosphere was hanging between them.

"That's Melissa, an employee at my clinic. She can be a handful sometimes, but there's nothing between us," Felix explained.

A hint of joy sparked inside Xena, but she maintained a stoic expression. "There's no need to explain it to me. I'm not someone significant to you anyway."

Felix's smile turned bitter as he realized that winning Xena back was not a task that could be achieved quickly. They both lapsed into silence, and Felix knew better than to break it with any words that would only make him seem foolish.

After an hour, the Warlord of Thunder finally returned. "The test results are in."

For such a crucial matter to be resolved this quickly, the sample must have been transported back by a fighter jet.

"Is this actually real?" Xena asked.

The Warlord of Thunder's facial expression gave away the answer.

"Yes, it is indeed skin tissue from an Elder Revenant. Candace did not lie."

A grave expression crossed Xena's face, and Candace was the only one who knew which group was perfecting the Necrobound-a crucial piece of information.

"What did the headquarters say?" Xena questioned.

"They asked us to take Candace back. There are already master healers on standby there," the Warlord replied.

It was clear that the headquarters did not want Felix, a regular person, to be involved. Despite Candace's wishes for Felix to help with the illness, it was out of the question. "Okay! Then let's go.'

Felix didn't have much to say about this.t wasn't for Xena, he wouldn't have wanted to be involved at all. Luckily, he had a way out of the situation now.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Zeller," the Warlord of Thunder greeted Felix with gratitude.

"You're welcome. It's my duty as a citizen," Felix replied with a friendly smile.

As the Warlord of Thunder reached out to Candace, her body suddenly started convulsing. Blood began to trickle from her nose and mouth. With a single glance, Felix let out a heavy sigh. This is problematic.
