The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 189

Xena ignored Felix and entered the lobby with Belle. Herbal Haven was where Hector had informed her that Seth would be offering free consultations today. Her presence here was no coincidence. Not only had they come, but they had also brought along a few ordinary people to increase their chances of being chosen. Of course, Xena could not be too obvious about it, or Seth might catch on. "Jack, what's wrong?" Felix asked. He noticed Jack was still standing frozen in place a few steps behind.

"Holy crap!" Jack snapped out of his daze. He grabbed Felix's arm as his excitement was beyond words. "Did... did you see that woman? My god! I didn't know such beauty existed in this world! Just one look and I feel like she's stolen my soul." Felix knew Jack was talking about Xena. He was not the only one-many in the lobby were stealing glances at her. She was indeed stunning.

"Besides her beauty, what else did you notice?" Felix prodded. After some serious thought, Jack replied, "She seems cold... like she's unapproachable."

"Well, there you have it. Just focus on getting your treatment and forget about it." The place was so crowded there was nowhere to sit. Luckily, the two found a corner to stand in, while Xena and Belle stood on the opposite side. "Stop staring." Felix was rendered speechless as Jack kept sneaking glances at Xena.
