The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 983

The Maximus family members chortled at his reply.

Dickson's prior analysis was on point—even if he got into a fight with the Maximus family, they wouldn't kill him. The most they would do was to paralyze him so they could take Felix.

If they killed Dickson, they would get into huge trouble with Harmony Clinic. "Do you agree with that, Felix?" Dickson seemed exasperated after seeing the threatening look in Atlas' eyes.
