The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 80

At the same time, Belle also threatened Felix, "Either you keep the needles, or I take action. I'm sure you know the consequences."

Felix had enough of Belle and Jordan. With a tapping gesture of his right hand, he made them stand frozen in place, completely unable to move.

They could only communicate with their eyes since they couldn't even open their mouths.

"The spell will be automatically removed after half an hour," Felix said.

After inserting the two silver needles, he placed the Grimflower into Curtis' mouth.

He then left the room under Belle's and Jordan's furious gazes.

20 minutes later, Xena had finished showering. After getting dressed, she arrived on the top floor. She was perplexed upon seeing the two of them standing stiffly in place. "What's wrong with the two of you?"

She noticed that they could only gesture with their eyes. Realizing what might have happened, she tapped with her right hand. Straight away, the two of them were able to move again.

"Something's wrong, milady! Felix is more powerful than I thought. I'm no match for him -he struck my acupoints and made me stand frozen in place!" Belle exclaimed.

Jordan pointed at Curtis. "That's not the main point! He used the silver needles on Mr. Summers Senior and even shoved something into his mouth. He's asking for it!" Xena's face fell. How dare Felix tamper with Curtis? Did he have a death wish?

Just as Jordan was about to remove the Grimflower from Curtis' mouth, his phone rang. Xena, don't move! Mr. Cane's here. He'll make the decisions-heaven knows what Felix has put."

He was right. Xena hurried downstairs with Belle and Jordan.

A car had just stopped outside, and an elderly man appeared. Though his face was full of wrinkles, he had black hair and seemed energetic.

"Mr. Cane!" Jordan called out.

"Thanks for coming, Dr. Cane. Sorry for the trouble," Xane greeted respectfully.. Wesley smiled. "My dear apprentice had kept begging me to come. How couldn't I?" Knowing that Wesley was creating opportunities for him, Jordan felt deeply grateful. "Alright. Let's have a look at your grandfather. Although I'm known as a master healer, I can't guarantee that I can cure every disease out there. Be mentally prepared," Wesley said.

In the bedroom on the top floor, everyone held their breaths as they watched Wesley checking Curtis' pulse.

Jordan was even more anxious than Xena, as this was a significant event in his life. Medical skills were one thing, but marrying the goddess of war herself was another.

After a few minutes, Wesley sighed. "The Phantom Poison has intoxicated your grandfather. I can't do much it's the most poisonous thing in the world, after all. Besides, quite some time has already passed."

Was it really impossible? Although Xena was mentally prepared, she couldn't help but feel disappointed. "Still, thanks for coming over, Dr. Cane."

Just as Wesley was about to stand up and leave, something came to Jordan's mind.

"Mr. Cane, please have a look at what's inside Curtis' mouth. That Felix had placed something in there when we weren't looking. I'm worried."

Although Wesley didn't say anything, he nodded and proceeded to press an acupoint on Curtis' jaw. Curtis' mouth then opened widely. Wesley's expression changed as he saw what was inside. "Is this... a Grimflower?"
