The Rise of a Master It Starts With Rejection novel Chapter 178

Chapter 178 

Belle immediately ran over to check on Santhor 

“Milady, he’s dead!” she exclaimed. 

Xena scoffed coldly. “He deserves to die. He’s the most disgusting wanted criminal on the list. Take him away!” 

Xena looked calm on the surface, but deep down, she was thoroughly confused. The database has said that Santhor was a very powerful person. The Earthen Hall probably couldn’t even handle him, but she had defeated him way too easily just now. 

In fact, she hadn’t even attacked him with all of her might. She recalled the final expression Santhor made before his death and wondered if she had been lucky enough to attack him right when he was feeling unwell. Perhaps something had happened to his physical body… 

However, none of that mattered anymore as long as this was the final outcome. 

Time passed by quickly. Around 4:00 pm, Felix arrived at the deserted hill Nora had told him about. However, with his keen sense of smell, he had already detected the unique snakefruit scent at the foot of the hill. 

“Not bad.” 

He smiled lightly and started up the hill. At the very least, Nora hadn’t lied to him, which saved him lots of time. 

After obtaining the snakefruit, he only needed two other types of herbs to make the cure for Curtis, and he would soon wake up. 

When he reached his destination, Felix immediately saw the fruit on the ground. It looked like a peach with half its body buried in the ground. Only the tip of the fruit could be seen above ground. Regular people could just walk past it without even realizing it was there. 

“Got it.” 

Felix kneeled down and was about to dig the fruit up from the ground when a voice suddenly sounded beside him. 

“Brat, you better not touch that thing, or your life will be in danger.” 

Felix turned around and saw a plump–looking middle–aged man standing about 15 feet away from him. The man was staring seriously at him. 

“I’d like to know then what kind of danger my life would be in,” Felix remarked 

The man replied in an icy voice, “You’re going to regret it if you don’t listen to me. The thing you’re about to touch is extremely poisonous.

“Don’t even think about eating it–just touching it will also cause your imminent death in half an hour. Or, maybe you think you can get to the nearest hospital from the middle of nowhere within that time?” 

After thinking for a bit, Felix suddenly grinned. The snakefruit is poisonous, you say? That’s the first time I’d ever heard of it.” 

The man didn’t think Felix would know the name of the fruit. And, in the next second, Felix had already dug up the snakefruit from the ground without hesitation. The man’s expression immediately darkened. 

“You brat, you dare to fool me?” the man exclaimed. + 

Felix thought nothing about him. “You were the one who wanted to trick me first and then snatch the fruit away from me. I was simply returning the favor.” 

The man cracked his neck and came closer to Felix. 1 

“Really? Because I wasn’t lying when I said your life would be in danger. Not because of the fruit, but because of me!”
