The Rise of a Master It Starts With Rejection novel Chapter 440

Chapter 440 

Just as Felix was about to turn away, Ernest saw him and called out, “Felix!” 

With no other choice, Felix braced himself and walked over. 

As expected, Xena frowned upon seeing him. 

“Mr. Holt Senior, I’ll take my leave for now,” she said. 

Felix and Ernest had been neighbors back in Avesburgh. Since Xena came to know Felix’s medical skills, she expected that Felix would show up at Ernest’s birthday party tonight. 

Ernest, without thinking too much, smiled and looked at Felix. “Felix, let me introduce you. This is my son, Isaac Holt, Sherlyn’s father” 

Isaac, in the prime of his career, had a dominant presence. He spoke respectfully to Ernest but turned his sharp gaze toward Felix. 

“Are you interrogating a criminal?” Ernest immediately chastised him. 

A hint of helplessness flashed in Isaac’s eyes. 

Felix had charmed Sherlyn completely, and as her father, Isaac couldn’t even give him a stern look? 

“Hello, Mr. Holt,” Felix said as they shook hands. 

Isaac nodded. “Hello. I’ve heard about you many times from my father and Sherlyn. Anyway, now that we’ve met, I must thank you for curing my father. It’s something the Holt family owes you.‘ 

Isaac actually had a good impression of Felix. Not only had Felix healed Ernest without charging a single cent or making any demands, but he had also heard Ernest talk about what Felix had achieved at the orphanage. Thus, Isaac regarded the young man highly. 

“Mr. Holt, that was my pleasure. I will always look out for those who need help. That was also the kind of values Dragonia has instilled in us. We especially can’t neglect the veterans who have contributed to the country.” 

This statement nearly made Isaac clap in approval. It resonated with him perfectly. “Good! You’re exactly right! That’s why Dragonia is as united as a family.” 

Taking this moment, Felix wished Ernest a happy birthday. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Nala approaching with Yvonne. 

“Mr. Holt Senior, please tend to your other guests.” 

As Nala drew near, Felix did not even glance at her. He walked directly toward Yvonne instead.

Due to his status, he couldn’t join Nala in offering birthday wishes to Ernest, so he stood at a distance. 

Yvonne felt a wave of panic as Felix approached nearly stepping away. 

“Yvonne, do you have to act like this?” Felix asked. 

Yvonne looked at him without emotion. “Are we that close?”
