    Chapter 635


    "Greetings, Mr. Ruby Senior!"


    It wasn''t until those words were spoken that the Ruby family members came back to their senses and greeted Rowan. No one had expected him to appear in such a dramatic way.


    They understood the reasoning behind his actions, though.


    After all, if even Augustus could openly apologize to Felix, it was clear that Felix held an extraordinary status. Whether or not the Ruby family feared him was secondary, but they certainly didn''t want to create a mysterious and powerful enemy unnecessarily.


    "I''ve seen enough of the Ruby family''s hospitality. It''s not necessary to keep this up," Felix said coldly.


    He sneered inwardly. Rowan clearly knew exactly what was happening. While he might not have orchestrated the events in the hall, there was no way he was unaware of them. If not for the Crayden family''s appearance, this situation wouldn''t have unfolded like this.


    A dull thud echoed as Reid was about to apologize. He then rolled his eyes and copsed to the floor.


    "Dr. Zeller, I took the liberty of punishing him. Does this satisfy you?" Rowan asked.


    Felix was momentarily stunned.


    Rowan had been ruthless. He had directly severed Reid''s spinal cord. Reid would spend the rest of his life confined to a bed, beyond the help of any so-called miracle doctor.


    "Well, it seems you''re a straightforward man. Since that''s the case, I''ll ept this as your apology. But if anything like this happens again, I''ll leave immediately."


    Rowan smiled. "Good, good! Rest assured, Dr. Zeller. As long as I''m here, the Ruby family will not offend you again."


    He then turned to Augustus and added, "Augustus, please take a moment to rest in our home. Once I''ve finished here, I''lle to personally host you."


    Augustus waved his hand. "No need to be so polite, Rowan. Dr. Zeller''s matters take precedence. I wouldn''t dream of imposing. I''ll visit again another time."


    With their objective achieved, Augustus and Axel left.


    As for Reid''s fate, the surrounding Ruby family members didn''t dare utter a word. This was the authority of a patriarch. Moreover, it was clear that Reid was just a disposable pawn in the family. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have been used as a scapegoat so tantly.


    Taking the elevator to the upper floors, Rowan exined with a smile, "Dr. Zeller, my apologies. The top three floors are reserved for our family elder''s private quarters. No one is allowed to disturb him unless it concerns the survival of the family."


    Felix nodded. "Understood. Besides, I''m not here for any grand gestures. My purpose is simple. I agreed to treat Rosalyn, and that''s all."


    Rowan gestured to the right and said, "That''s a private room we''ve prepared for you, Dr. Zeller. You''ll be undisturbed there. I trust you''ll find it useful?"


    Catching the subtle implications, Felix smiled lightly. "It seems you know that the bone isn''t an ordinary object. Yes. I''ll need two days to grind it into powder. Once that''s done, I can use it to treat Rosalyn."


    "Excellent! Seeing that you''re a master of medicine, let''s not waste time. Please, go ahead."


    After Felix entered the room, Richard appeared.


    "Father, do you really trust Felix?"


    Rowan chuckled. "Trust isn''t a matter of what you see with your eyes. The bone bears a mark left by our family


    elder. If he tries to switch it for something else, the moment he leaves the building, the array in this building will detect it.


    "Unless he truly grinds the bone into powder as he ims, there''s no way to fool it."


    Richard suddenly understood. "Ah, so that''s why you insisted on bringing him here-to prevent any such tricks.


    "But Father, what exactly is that bone? It''s been passed down through generations, yet there''s no information about it anywhere."
