The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 973

In the end, Delilah still chose not to hold a ceremony to accept him as a disciple. She knew that Felix was still harboring a secret, and although they were mentor- mentees, they still respected each other.

She was very happy that they could acknowledge each other as mentor-mentees in public without having to hide it anymore.

Soon, Felix went to the secret room in Harmony Clinic to try the intermediate refinement process for the first time. Meanwhile, Atlas had already contacted an elder of the family.

"But since Felix was accepted as Delilah's disciple, this is a little difficult to deal with! I can't guarantee anything-but two things are certain. First, Harmony Clinic will stand firm behind Delilah; second, many martial artists who owe her will refuse to back down, even when facing our family."
