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.
“Uh, my grandpa said pursuing a woman costs a lot, so he transferred one billion dollars to my card in advance. Not sure if that’ll be enough.”
A billion dollars? Felix buried his face in his hands.
When Ronan left for the Dragonia Martial Arts Competition, the old man had only given him three thousand dollars. But now, to pursue a woman, he handed him a billion dollars? It was beyond comprehension.
“Are you still planning to participate in the martial arts competition?”
He had only entered the competition for the hundred–million–dollar prize. But now that he had a billion

dollars, why bother?
To his surprise, Ronan looked at Melissa. “I’ll let my wife decide. Anyway, my grandpa has said that finding myself a wife is more important than the Dragonia Martial Arts Competition and Lone Paragon.”
Melissa shot him a look and said, “Of course, you’re going to participate. If you run into Felix, just forfeit right away. It’ll save him energy and time. Besides, didn’t you claim to be an amazing martial artist? Beat a few strong opponents to pave the way for Felix
Ronan immediately slapped his chest. “Rest assured! Since you said it, I’ll give it my all.”
Felix was completely dumbfounded by their interaction, He didn’t know what to say. Just as he was about to return the watches to Melissa, Billy burst in and snatched one of them.
“Two luxury watches? Wow, I guess I’m finally considered an elite member of society!”
Glancing at the time, Felix stood up.
“Alright. It’s time. Ronan, come with me.”
However, Nala and the others followed him out, too. They pulled down the roller shutters of the clinic and the flower wreath shop next door.
“What’s going on?”
Melissa pursed her lips. “You think too poorly of us. Nala has already arranged the entry passes for us, so we’re all heading to Yartford for the competition.”
Without saying anything else, Felix took a step forward. He was determined to obtain Lone Paragon. Whatever challenges that awaited him would not stop him.
