The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 710

Xena wanted to speak up for Felix, but she realized it would be futile, considering even the Warlord of Thunder didn't dare to say a word. Not only would her efforts be meaningless, but she might also end up offending Craig. Suddenly, Felix turned to Craig and said, "Fine! I'll treat her in front of all of you. But if I succeed, you must bow and apologize to me."

Craig gritted his teeth. "What did you just say? Even your mentor has to show respect to me. How dare a young brat like you try to humiliate me?"

Felix sneered. "If you don't agree to it, I'll take my leave now. I'm sure someone of your caliber, as a master healer, will have no trouble curing Caden. Why would I make a fool of myself?" "If you won't agree, I'll take my leave now. I'm sure someone of your caliber-a master/healer-can handle curing Candace without any problem. Why should I embarrass myself?"

Seeing Felix actually turning to leave, Xena chose to let him be. She knew it would be uself to try to make him stay. On top of that, she also thought Craig had gone too far. She would really much like to see how Craig would handle things after Felix left. Craig stood frozen, his expression ashen. He realized he had backed himself into a corner.

If Felix, the scapegoat, walked away, Craig would be forced to treat Candace himself, leaving no one else to take the blame if things went wrong.

"Fine! If you manage to cure her, I'll bow and apologize to you," Craig said through gritted teeth. "But if you fail, I'll have every reason to believe you intended to kill Candace under the guise of treatment. I trust you've prepared to face the consequences, aren't you?" Felix didn't bother wasting more words on the shameless Craig. He stepped toward Candace and said, "Just stand still and leave the rest to me.'
