The Rise of a Master It Starts With Rejection novel Chapter 1002

"Well, how could I not take a gamble after a pitch like that?" Shepherd said.

Soon after, Shepherd sent Felix a private message about finding the Skeletal Demon. He was so cautious that he would not even let Deborah hear it.

"Now you know. It's up to you whenever you want to tell Dickson about this."

"Thank you, Mr. Ghost."

Deborah did not think much of it. After spending over a month with Felix, she knew he was an upright person. If he said he wanted to repay Dickson's kindness, he meant it.

She would not mention anything to Dickson since this was Felix's decision.

In Martial City, every car leaving town carried two gas cans in the trunk. Fuel was only available within city limits, and running out on long trips would be disastrous.

Especially with gas-guzzlers like the Brabus. By the time they reached Westville the next day, they had already stopped twice to refuel.

Westville had its own Harmony Clinic branch, where they were staying. Felix made his request as soon as they arrived. "Madam Goddard, I'd like to explore the city alone."

"Sure."

Deborah was not worried about Felix's safety. First, they were in the city where no one dared cause obvious trouble. Second, Felix had reached the early Transcendent Realm, so anyone targeting him would need to think twice.

"Westville really is crowded."

The streets bustled with nearly half the people of North City, perhaps due to the Xavier family's Battle of the Bride.

After walking a short distance, Felix called Barry, who was in Westville. He was a good guy, and it would be nice to catch up.

Barry was thrilled to hear Felix was in town and told him to wait while he rushed over.
