The Rise of a Master It Starts With Rejection novel Chapter 909

Felix's guess had been correct. Where did the pill recorded in the medical book that Gerald gave him come from? It was the most basic antidote pill. Yet, it was enough to counteract the Blightbane Poison that had everyone at their wit's end. It was unbelievable.

"Can you come over, Mr. Hoffman? We can hold out for 24 hours," Felix asked just in case. It would make things easier if Gerald could come.

"You damn brat! Are you sure you're my student? First of all, I can't make it back in 24 hours. Secondly, even if I could, why should I? Whether those people live or die has nothing to do with me. Goodbye!"

Felix smiled bitterly. He had forgotten how Gerald had long since been disillusioned by humanity's greed. To him, saving lives and healing the wounded was nothing but drivel.

As soon as he stepped outside, he noticed that all eyes were on him. It was plain to see that he remained everyone's greatest hope.

"It should work, but I can't guarantee it. I'll just have to do my best."

The crowd's expressions varied. Regardless of their sentiments, Felix's words still offered them a sliver of hope.

A few minutes later, Yasmin arrived with several helicopters. Given the lives at stake and the number of people involved, it was only natural that the headquarters provided assistance.

"Are these medicinal herbs enough, Dr. Zeller?"

Felix nodded. "They're enough."

The quantity was sufficient enough to produce a hundred pills, but would things be that easy? They were racing against time. Once Felix went to refine the pills, only Lemuel would be left to suppress the poison. Even if Silas and the others assisted them, they'd only be able to hold on for 14 hours.

"Don't allow anyone to disturb me!" Felix said before shutting himself into a room.

Hector and Cairo stationed themselves on either side of the door, personally guarding the last line of defense to ensure no problems arose.

"You have to succeed, Felix," Xena prayed silently. Her mind was consumed with worry for Felix's safety. She realized that she had never forgotten him but had always avoided confronting her feelings.
