The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 189

Xena ignored Felix and entered the lobby with Belle. Herbal Haven was where Hector had informed her that Seth would be offering free consultations today. Her presence here was no coincidence. Not only had they come, but they had also brought along a few ordinary people to increase their chances of being chosen. Of course, Xena could not be too obvious about it, or Seth might catch on. "Jack, what's wrong?" Felix asked. He noticed Jack was still standing frozen in place a few steps behind.

"Holy crap!" Jack snapped out of his daze. He grabbed Felix's arm as his excitement was beyond words. "Did... did you see that woman? My god! I didn't know such beauty existed in this world! Just one look and I feel like she's stolen my soul." Felix knew Jack was talking about Xena. He was not the only one-many in the lobby were stealing glances at her. She was indeed stunning.

"Besides her beauty, what else did you notice?" Felix prodded. After some serious thought, Jack replied, "She seems cold... like she's unapproachable."

"Well, there you have it. Just focus on getting your treatment and forget about it." The place was so crowded there was nowhere to sit. Luckily, the two found a corner to stand in, while Xena and Belle stood on the opposite side. "Stop staring." Felix was rendered speechless as Jack kept sneaking glances at Xena. But then again, it was not every day an ordinary man got to see the legendary Lady Summers in person. Today was indeed a stroke of luck. Ten minutes later, an elderly man in a white coat emerged.

""Dr. Brooke!"

"Hello, Dr. Brooke."

"Dr. Brooke, why are you out here?"

Judging by everyone's greetings, this man had to be the top doctor at Herbal Haven. He was probably also the one Jack had come to see.

"Everyone, I have incredible news! Seth Fingle, Dragonia's fourth-ranked master healer, has suddenly arrived at our clinic. He's offering free consultations today. Everyone here will receive a number, and Seth will randomly select ten people to treat." Then

What? The fourth-ranked master healer in all of Dragonia? The crowd was stunn they erupted in excitement. Even wealthy people could not usually get an appointment with such a renowned healer, and now they had a chance to be treated personally. Chapter 189

Felix was bemused. It was no wonder Xena was here. She must have gotten advance notice about Seth's visit. She was really going all out for Curtis.

"Bro! Is this my lucky day or what? If I get picked, I'm sure he can cure my stomach pains for good!" Jack exclaimed.

Of course! If Seth could not cure something that simple, he would not deserve the title of being a master healer.

"I think you've got a good chance of being picked." Felix was just trying to be encouraging He did not know Seth personally. Even if he burst in there claiming to be the miracle doctor's apprentice, they probably would not believe him. So it really was all down to luck. Soon, everyone had received a number, including Felix. If chosen, Seth would give enough time for people to bring in sick friends or relatives, and he would see one patient per number.

"Milady, don't worry. With those extra people we brought, we have six chances. Surely one of us will be picked." On the other side, Belle reassured Xena, who remained expressionless. There were more people than she had anticipated, which would lower their odds even further.
