The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection
With Husband 714

Chapter 714

Felix pretended to think for a moment before saying, "I treated someone who works at a bank. We're on good terms, though I'm not sure about his position there or if he can help." Willow's eyes instantly brightened up. "Really

But she quickly became self-conscious. "No, we shouldn't burden you with using your connections. Just forget I mentioned it.'

Felix smiled. "They say good neighbors are like family. It's fate that brought. us together as neighbors and Queenie, too. If there's any trouble, of course, I'll help if I can. I'll make a call tomorrow and contact Clement if it works out." At this point, Willow could not refuse. Besides, the company was nearly at a dead end. Felix was not really an outsider anymore, and he had proven himself trustworthy, though they hadn't known each other long.

The next morning, Clement called just as Felix arrived at the clinic. "Felix, please don't listen to Willow's rambling. She sometimes speaks without thinking, so don't take it seriously."

These two were genuinely good people. Even with a glimmer of hope, they still did not

want to trouble others.

"I've already made the call. Though he didn't specify his position at the bank, he said he could definitely help with a loan. The details would depend on meeting in person.

"I was actually about to call you because I booked a restaurant tonight. You have to come! you really feel like you're troubling me, you can make it up by buying me some good wine later," Felix said.

Clement's voice was trembling. "Of course! I won't forget this favor. Whether it works out or not, you're a true friend, Felix."

Just after he hung up, Melissa said, "You have dinner plans tonight? Why not take me along? I won't embarrass you since I have such amazing looks and a good figure, right?"

Felix playfully pinched Melissa's nose. "Focus on work. Haven't you noticed you've gaine weight? What figure are you talking about?"

"What! I've gotten fat?" Melissa was startled. Weight really was a woman's deadliest enemy. She immediately walked toward the scale.

Unknown to Felix, an elderly man appeared to look around aimlessly across the street. Bi his attention was actually fixed on Felix. After a few minutes, a middle-aged man approached and nodded slightly. Then, they walked away together. Chapter 714

They walked three blocks before getting into a car.

"Did you get the information?" After the elderly man asked, the middle-aged man took out his phone.

"Yes! The young man's name is Felix Zeller. He's new to Gray City and runs that place called Tranquil Clinic."

Displeased, the elderly man frowned. "I want the other information."

This surface-level intel was easy to get through basic connections, which was fine for investigating ordinary people. But was Felix ordinary?

"Yes, sir! Felix previously lived in Avesburgh and Canraville. He seems to be an Oceanus Realm master, and his medical skills definitely rank in Dragonia's top ten. He briefly dated Xena Summers, the Phoenix Warlord, and has had quite a lot of contact with Lady Nala." After hearing this detailed report, the elderly man took a few deep breaths. "Indeed, he's no ordinary person. Don't alert him yet. I need to request someone's help."

As the car started moving, the elderly man looked out the window. "Mason, just sit by and watch. I'll avenge you soon."
