The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

The faces of the Hughmans, which were previously smiling, began to twitch crazily. Fuck, they had asked Nala to come and apologize. Yet, she had turned even more aggressive?

Had she gone mad, or was she giving up?

"Don't be mad, Joanna. Her mind hasn't been right ever since she came back."

"Ms. Yorker, we've been trying to stop her from coming here. Please don't take it to heart."

Some apologized, and some wanted to pull Nala away. If she said anything else, there would be no room for redemption, and the follow-up would be violent revenge. The Hughman family would be shakier than ever.

If the Yorkers were decisive, it would truly be over for the Hughmans.

"Settling the past grudges with me? Are you even qualified to now?" Joanna ignored their comments and smiled non-stop as if she was hearing a joke. "What? You said it back then, and now you're regretting it?" Nala sneered.

When Joanna heard this, she remembered something and laughed even more exaggeratedly. "I almost forgot about that! Wait, are you saying that there's actually a man who wants you?

"Or did you realize it was impossible and gave yourself to a random man? I have to say, you've always kept a good figure—maybe if you turn off the lights or even cover your head with a bag, some men would still be tempted."

Nala wasn't angry despite such outrageous words. She had been waiting for this day for too long. How could she lose her composure over such humiliation?

"Enough nonsense. Do you dare or not?"noveldrama

Joanna narrowed her eyes, looking disdainful. "Well, I will always keep my word! Even after all these years, my words still stand! My older brother is back home, so let's meet at Denverville Arena at sunset.

"Don't forget about what I said back then. I wonder if you still have the courage..."

The initially composed Nala suddenly fell into a turmoil of thoughts. She clenched her fists, and her nails dug into her palms. "No, I haven't forgotten your words. Then, we'll meet at sunset!"

A faint smile grew on Joanna's face-she had long forgotten about Nala. Now, she wasn't even on par with cockroaches in her eyes. Joanna never expected her to take the initiative to mention the past.

Alright, then. After today, Nala would be completely nailed to the wall of shame in Martial City. Then maybe, her name would be cursed for thousands of years!"

"Are you crazy?" one of the Hughman members yelled.

"Nala, what are you and Joanna going to do?"

"Fuck, don't drag us down with you, you hear me?"

Nala screamed back at her so-called family members, "Get out of here!"

A few of them glanced at each other before rushing off to their families. Although they didn't know what would happen in Denverville Arena, it was definitely a big deal.

If they informed their families now, they might be able to stop it! Denverville Arena was located at the center of the city. The stage was made out of stone-around three feet high.

It was made from special materials and covered a large area. Even martial artists

in the Transcendent Realm could fight on it.

The most amazing thing was no matter how powerful a martial artist's skills were, those skills would seemingly dissipate once they

reached the edge of the ston

platform. It seemed like it was the main purpose of the stage.

It was said that Denverville was originally built around this very stone platform. It

was extremely old, and where it came from was entirely unknown.

The stone platform belonged to the royal family. If someone wanted to fight on it, they had to pay a certain amount of emeralds. It was extremely expensive, and besides the big families, ordinary people couldn't afford it. Later, it was named Denverville Arena

Interestingly, to ensure that people felt that their emeralds were well spent, high-viewing platforms were built around the stone platform They would naturally get a better view of the fight by paying acertain amount rather than being on the ground.
