The Rise of a Master It Starts With Rejection novel Chapter 411

Chapter 411 

Solomon took a sip of his drink and laughed. “How could I possibly guess what the higher- ups are thinking? I just do what I’m told. Besides, isn’t Dr. Hoffman’s apprentice human too?” 

Ryan felt a chill at Solomon’s words, considering Gerald’s reputation was enough to make anyone think twice before making a move. He had known Solomon for a long time; Solomon’s family was powerful, but the man was simply obsessed with martial arts. 

Solomon showed no interest in money or women. Instead, he would follow anyone who could make him stronger. While Ryan had never heard of the Elders‘ Council before, he knew they were definitely not a simple bunch of people. 

“Mr. Gill, do you think Dr. Hoffman’s apprentice will agree?” Ryan asked uncertainly. 

Solomon shook his head. “How would I know what he’s thinking when I’ve never met him? But since you’ve spoken so highly of him, I’ll allow you to make an introduction. I must say, I admire anyone who would risk themselves to save those poor orphans.”

Before Ryan could respond, Solomon jumped down from the rock and put away his flask. ” If it’s him, then Ryan, you can leave. Even Dr. Hoffman’s apprentice can’t save him.” 

Ryan frowned. “Mr. Gill, isn’t that too hasty? At least have Dr. Hoffman’s apprentice take a look at him!” 

Solomon chuckled and shook his head. “Because he’s Dr. Hoffman’s apprentice. We could’ve avoided this ridiculous misunderstanding if you had mentioned his name earlier.” Ryan’s eyes widened as he stared at Felix. “Y–You’re Dr. Hoffman’s apprentice?”
