The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection novel Chapter 900

There was suddenly silence on the other end of the line.

Felix thought it was because of a bad signal and was about to speak when a much fiercer voice came through, "What? You're the apprentice of the respected elder? Wow, that's an honor!

"Don't worry, my future in-law. I guarantee my grandson will pursue your sister with all his heart. I swear, I won't lie to you. If this rascal isn't worthy, he wouldn't dare to force it."

Respected elder? This was the first time Felix had heard someone refer to Gerald like that, so it felt a little strange.

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely. Please pass the phone to my grandson, I need to give him a serious talking-to."

Before handing over the phone, Felix asked who the old man was. The only answer he got was "Warlock", which he had never heard of.

…

Four days passed quickly. Despite the upcoming Dragonia Martial Arts Competition, Felix was not affected at all. He still went to the clinic every day, though he still hadn't had a single patient.

"Did Melissa go shopping again?"

Nala, who had brought in some drinks, nodded. "Yeah."

Felix was feeling frustrated. Although Melissa was initially uncertain and nervous when Ronan started pursuing her, she began treating Ronan like a butler the very next day. The transformation was almost miraculous.

Half an hour later, Melissa walked in, with Ronan trailing behind her, carrying a bunch of bags. "I bought you and Billy a watch each. You can swap out your old ones for them."

Looking at the watches on the table, Felix was utterly confused. "Patek Philippe? Where'd you get all that money?"

Melissa grinned. "I picked the items, and Ronan paid for them."

Ronan noticed Felix looking at him and gave a hearty smile.
