The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection
With Husband 711

Chapter 711

At this moment, Xena and the Warlord of Thunder knew the symptoms all too well. After all, they had witnessed it happening before when Candace's martial energy went haywire. Did this mean that not only had Felix failed, but Candace was also going to die? If the situation weren't so dire, Craig would have burst out laughing.

"You fool! When Candace's martial energy starts activating like this, not even the gods can save her. Those seven needles weren't meant to heal; they would just accelerate her condition. You clearly have bad intentions!"

Beside him, Marine Asura's expression darkened too. Everyone knew how important Candace was, and he felt partially responsible for this situation.

"Who said I failed?" Felix remained calm as he threw the question back at Craig.

"How dare you argue with me? I've examined Candace's condition myself. Another surge of martial energy will kill her! Don't think you can dodge responsibility with empty words!"

As he spoke, Craig thrust an accusing finger at Felix. "Marine Asura, arrest this brat and take him back to headquarters for questioning. He surely had bad motives by attempting a treatment far beyond his capabilities!"

Just as Marine Asura moved to act, Candace's convulsions suddenly stopped. She stood motionless with her head down as if she had died.

"See that? What do you have to say now?" Craig let out a relieved sigh. It had been too close. All responsibility would have fallen on him if he had performed the treatment. Ironically, this arrogant brat's interference had worked in his favor. "Wait, Marine Asura! If Candace were truly dead, how could she still be standing? We should observe further." Xena had to interject at this moment. Deep down, she still

believed in Felix.

Just as Craig scoffed, Candace's voice rang out, "I'm cured! I feel totally fine now!"

Everyone turned to look. Candace had lifted her head, and her eyes were sparkling with excitement. "Thank you, Dr. Zeller. I can feel my body has fully recovered. I can even control my martial energy now."

"That's impossible!" Craig blurted out, his expression frozen in shock. "Your martial energy was clearly activating itself-how are you still alive?"

Candace's expression darkened at his words. "Hey, you old fool! Are you really from headquarters? Thousands of lives are at stake, and everyone's hoping I'll survive to reveal the Necrobound's location. Yet you're here wishing for my death, aren't you?" Her words jolted Craig into silence. He dared not let her pursue this further, as the

consequences would be severe.

"Now, you can bow and apologize to me." Felix stepped forward and faced Craig..

His principle was simple-he would not start trouble, but that did not mean he would back down from it either. Craig had gone too far. Regardless of his status, he needed to be taught a lesson.

As everyone turned to watch, Craig's face turned red with rage. He defended himself, "How can you prove Candace's recovery had anything to do with you? You think seven mere needles could cure such a serious condition? You may act the part well, but you just got lucky."

Damn, this old man really had the audacity to say such things! Not just Felix, but even the Warlord and others could not stand it anymore, though they dared not speak up.

"You're something else, old man. Just because you can't do something, you assume others can't either. I might be a ruthless killer, but at least my moral compass works. Nothing disgusts me more than hypocrites who hide behind their age and status."

While others held their tongues, Candace spoke freely. Though she would not die, she was facing lifelong imprisonment anyway. What did she have to lose by offending someone?
