The Rise of a Master It Starts With Rejection novel Chapter 973

In the end, Delilah still chose not to hold a ceremony to accept him as a disciple. She knew that Felix was still harboring a secret, and although they were mentor-mentees, they still respected each other.

She was very happy that they could acknowledge each other as mentor-mentees in public without having to hide it anymore.

Soon, Felix went to the secret room in Harmony Clinic to try the intermediate refinement process for the first time. Meanwhile, Atlas had already contacted an elder of the family.

"Herbert, I just received news from the spy at Harmony Clinic. Felix Zeller had just been accepted as Delilah's disciple!"

On the other end, Herbert wondered for a long time before replying, "This complicates things. If he was merely a genius at Harmony Clinic, your earlier assumptions would've been right.

"But since Felix was accepted as Delilah's disciple, this is a little difficult to deal with! I can't guarantee anything—but two things are certain. First, Harmony Clinic will stand firm behind Delilah; second, many martial artists who owe her will refuse to back down, even when facing our family."

Atlas gritted his teeth. He couldn't have thought of this—that was the terrifying part of being an alchemist.

"Fuck! What kind of stupid luck does Felix have? He's actually some kind of genius in alchemy!" he cursed in front of his elder. He was the only one who dared to do this in the Maximus family.

"Don't worry. Felix is in Martial City. It's much easier to do what we must do than in the capital. Now, we just need to wait for the right time—and it'll come."

…

Inside Harmony Clinic, Bern came by with Natalie, holding various items in his arms. They came to look for Delilah.

"Congratulations, Delilah! You finally got yourself a precious disciple," Bern congratulated her.
