The Rise of a Master It Starts With Rejection novel Chapter 709

Chapter 709 

Craig responded with great confidence, “Based on your physical condition, I’d say you have at least two months to live. But it’s hard to say if we factor in the backlash from your martial energy.” 

Candace sneered. “Ha! I knew you were a joke. Dr. Zeller could tell with just one look that I only had a few days to live. You can’t compare to him! Hurry up and bring Dr. Zeller to treat me!” 

Craig, who had been crouching, stood up in fury. 

“Fine! Let’s see how capable this Dr. Zeller of yours really is. You said he’s better than me? Warlord of Thunder, go bring him back this instance.” 

In fact, Craig had already thought it through. He didn’t have much confidence in treating Candace. If her martial energy activated during treatment, he would be the one responsible for her death, destroying his hard–earned reputation. 

But with Felix as a scapegoat, he could easily shift the blame onto him. 

The Warlord of Thunder was astonished. 

Craig was one of the best physicians in Donia. Aside from the top–ranked master healer, Lemuel Morris, other physicians like Silas and Xander couldn’t compare to him. Could Felix really be better than such a skilled healer? 

The Warlord of Thunder was already shocked that Felix could surpass him in strength at such a young age. If Felix also possessed such extraordinary medical skills, he would be left speechless. 

With Xena present, Felix soon re–entered the clinic. Candace’s attitude shifted immediately upon seeing him. “Dr. Zeller! Please, save me! If you cure me, I’ll tell you the secret you want to know.” 

Since Felix had already agreed to Xena, he waved his hand and instructed without hesitation, “Come inside with me. The rest of you stay here.” 

However, Craig suddenly interjected. 

“Young man! If you’re going to treat her, do it here in front of us. Candace is an important person; we can’t afford any accidents. Who knows what you might do once you’re out of our sight.” 

Though Craig planned to shift the blame onto Felix, he didn’t bother hiding his disdain for him. He refused to believe that a young brat like Felix could surpass his medical skills. 

“As you mentioned, Candace is very important, so I allowed all of you to remain in the clinic; otherwise, I would’ve asked you all to leave.”

Craig sneered. “A confident physician wouldn’t care about being watched during treatment. Clearly, you’re hiding something from us!” 

Craig was laying the groundwork for later. If Candace died, he could pin the blame on Felix, claiming he had intentionally killed her under the guise of treatment. 

Several onlookers frowned at Craig’s harsh words. They knew his bad temper, but they felt he was going too far this time. Was it because he felt disrespected in his own field of expertise? 

“Fine! If you can’t trust me, I’ll leave!” Felix’s temper flared. ·
