The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Currently, Nala sat on one of the benches on the viewing platforms. She looked calm on the surface, but her heart was far from composed. After all, she had waited so many years for this day, and it finally came.

Any woman could understand this. Even if she wasn't born beautiful, no one wanted their face to be covered in scars.

"Nala, are you really sure?" a beautiful woman asked, placing a hand on Nala's shoulder. It was Nala's mother.

"Well, I'm confident he'll be able to. But if he can't, then I'm just destined to be like this in this life."

As she spoke, an elegant-looking middle-aged man showed up on the other side. He patted Nala's hand-there were no words exchanged between them. But as her parents, they naturally stood firmly on their daughter's side.

In fact, Nala was extremely grateful. Without the support of her parents, she might've actually committed suicide a long time ago. Not to mention, they had paid a great price back then to send her to live in the big city.

Crowds began to gather around the stone platform. Joanna had clearly purposely leaked the news about the fight, wanting more people to witness Nala's humiliation.

After a while, a man and woman appeared on the other viewing platform, causing people to exclaim loudly.

"Look! Isn't that Natalie Earnhart and Ezra Crown? Aren't they two of the Top Ten Menaces?"

"What? Really? What kind of battle is this? Even two of the Top Ten Menaces came here for this!"

"Hahaha! I put away my work and ran over to get a good seat. I'm so lucky-even the two of them are here. This battle must be incredible!"

That was right—they were both Top Ten Menaces. The woman was indeed Natalie Earnhart, and the young man beside her, who had short purple hair and an unruly demeanor, was definitely Ezra Crown.

Ezra also had an excellent personal relationship with Natalie.

"It's so boring, Natalie. I can't believe I'm accompanying you to watch a fight."

When she heard his words, she laughed. "We were just sitting around doing nothing anyway. You know of the grudge between Nala and Joanna-it should all be settled today. We're in Denverville-wouldn't it be a pity if we didn't watch the fight?"

Ezra glanced at Nala, who was wearing a veil on the opposite platform, and sighed. "That's true.

I've considered Nala to be my future wife back then. The most beautiful women indeed have the most vicious hearts."

Natalie shook her head. "No, it's the closest friends who have the most vicious hearts! Nala is extremely smart, and her excellence is highly recognized. But who would've known that her own best friend would harm her?"

With that, a trace of curiosity flashed in her eyes.noveldrama

"I heard about the bet between them. It seems like Nala must let her husband

fight-I want to see what kind of man Nala has gotten."

Even Natalie admired Joanna's vicious mind-Nala's face had been utterly destroyed, and she had lost her mind-stunting her cultivation. Additionally, the Yorkers took the opportunity to suppress the Hughmans.

Under such conditions, how could Nala possibly find a powerful husband?

"There's nothing to be curious about. You already know her opponent—Joanna's older brother, Howie Yorker, is already in the middle stage of the Transcendent Realm. Nothing else matters."

Just then, they both saw Nala standing up. Didn't that mean her husband had shown up? They quickly turned to look where she was looking.

Natalie was stunned. "Him? That's him? How is this possible?"
