The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

On the only empty viewing platform, Zayn took a seat with only one other person. Joanna and Howie immediately stood up and saluted.

"Oh! The sixth prince came just to see me?" Joanna had always wanted to marry into the royal family, and she liked the sixth prince a lot.

Her family had also tried to match them up several times-but there was no clear connection.

"Don't think about it too much. As far as I know, Zayn has been quite active recently, and he has been going in and out of the four major cities," Howie explained to Joanna. Still, she didn't get angry.noveldrama

"It's fine. There's still plenty of time for us to get together. One day, the sixth prince will notice me," she said.

Zayn was in a good mood as he sat down. He had initially planned to leave Denverville-but since he heard that the Hughmans and Yorkers were fighting, he came to take a look out of boredom.

However, no matter where he turned, Felix caught his eye!

"Felix!" Zayn gritted his teeth. The only time he was humiliated was when Felix caused it!

"Your Highness, according to the information we received, this fight was arranged by Joanna and Nala back then. Felix is sitting next to Nala-could he be one of the fighters?"

Zayn frowned when he heard his subordinate's words.

"That's impossible! Felix is about to marry Nerissa. How can Nala compare to her?"

It was normal in Martial City to have multiple wives, so Zayn wasn't surprised by this. "Well, go and find out immediately."

After all, he was from the royal family-he had spies all over the four major cities. Soon, the news came back to him a few minutes later.

"Your Highness, it's confirmed that Felix is Nala's husband. It's definitely him who will fight Howie of the Yorkers."

Zayn smiled. However, he didn't understand why Felix would fall in love with Nala, a woman who had nothing-no beauty, no strength. But it didn't matter to him anymore.

"Go find the two of them from the Yorkers."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

As the sun was about to set, Joanna asked Howie, "Howie, what are you hesitating for? The sixth prince finally offered an olive branch-he's willing to let me be a concubine. Why are you reluctant?"

Howie frowned. The sixth prince had sent someone to inform him that as long as he killed Felix in the ring,

she couldn't be his wife, she could only be his concubine. This was equivalent to tying the Yorkers to the lower branches of the royal family.

For many families, this was something they wanted. Besides, Zayn offered to take care of all the work after killing Felix, so there wouldn't be trouble for the family.

In the end, Howie sighed. "Well, I don't know whether it's good or bad to be tied to the sixth prince. But who am I to prevent my beloved younger sister from her dreams?"

Joanna was overjoyed. "That's right! In terms of alchemy, our ancestors had always been overshadowed by Bern Earnhart and Deborah. With the help of the royal family, our family will definitely surpass them!

With that, she stood up and saluted Zayn from the opposite platform. This had been agreed upon. If she took the deal, she would salute him. If she didn't, then there wasn't a need to do anything.

When Zayn saw this, he smiled and felt better than ever. Felix was outstanding in alchemy, but could he really be good in martial arts?

Well, since Felix had offended Zayn, the horrible fate awaiting him would soon unfold.
