The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Felix would never forget the scene he had watched in the video before. Cordelia, unwilling but resigned, had left him to protect him. Later, he learned some details from Nala, which led to this question.

No matter what happened, he still wanted to know more.

"Why would you ask that?" Delilah shot back.

Looking at the intriguing smile on Delilah's face, Felix felt a bit nervous. This new mentor of his was no ordinary person. She was really good at noticing things.

"Since coming to Martial City, all the powerful people I've encountered have been women, so I started wondering if it's true that women here are more talented?"

Delilah laughed at his comment. "Well, you're not entirely wrong. Let me answer your question directly. The most powerful woman in Martial City is known as the Empress. She is the strongest member of the royal family, and you could say she is the most powerful person known in Martial City."

Could the Empress be Cordelia?

"Thank you, Madam Goddard."noveldrama

Indeed, Martial City did have a royal family—one that had existed since the time of migration.

Yusri, who was invincible at the time, never wiped out the royal bloodline. Instead, he allowed it to survive and continue. It seemed this mysterious great formation was deeply tied to the royal family. If the royal family ever declined, the formation would be in jeopardy as well.

These were things Laura had shared with him, along with the fact that Martial City had five major cities: Denverville, Westville, Bedford, North City, and the Imperial City in the center, where the royal family resided.

The royal family had always been powerful, whether due to their bloodline or their martial arts techniques. Over the years, except for Yusri, who practiced the Dragons Destroyer technique, no one had dared to challenge the royal family. However, Nala had said that reconnecting with Cordelia would bring safety, but there was a catch: he had to stay by her side. This made Felix wonder if the internal politics of the royal family were more complicated than they appeared.

So, Felix decided it was better to focus on his own growth rather than gamble on such uncertain outcomes.

Soon, the clinic opened, and Felix didn't need to worry about anything. People from Harmony Clinic had set up everything needed, and a sign representing Harmony Clinic hung outside.

As for the name, he had chosen "Tranquil Clinic".

Sitting inside the clinic, Felix looked at the medical book given to him by Gerald. He planned to study this first before moving on to the book Delilah had given him. After all, he had plenty of time.

"Tranquil Clinic? Nice name," said a voice, and Felix frowned as he saw Natalie walk in. He had already acted so crudely toward her, so why was she here? There was no choice but to continue the charade.

"I guess the beautiful lady can't forget me. Should I close the door, and we can have a nice long chat in bed?"

Natalie, who had been trying to act tough, immediately scowled. As a proud woman, she had never been teased like this. Not even Atlas, one of the Top Ten Menaces with a powerful background, had dared to do so. Thus, she was deeply offended.

"Humph! Pervert!"

Watching Natalie leave in a huff, Felix couldn't help but find it odd. She was too easy to deal with.

He had no intention of getting involved with Natalie. After everything he'd been through, he knew all too well how dangerous such relationships could be. The term "femme fatale" wasn't just a saying.

After all, not long after he arrived in Martial City, he had almost gotten into serious trouble with Jared, all because of Laura.

Elsewhere, Jared sat in a car, seething as he stared at Tranquil Clinic. "Damn it! When have I ever been humiliated like this? I'm going to make Felix pay for this!"
