The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 755

Nala turned pale at the sight, while Alfie immediately assumed a defensive stance.

"How dare you!" Nala exclaimed.

Cynthia playfully twirled her pigtails, maintaining her innocent smile. "You're Nala Hughman, right? Don't worry. I won't kill you-only because you have an engagement with my brother-in-law, not because of your family. "Though from what I hear, you're not doing so well with your family, either. Otherwise, why else would you be hiding in this city?"

Those few sentences confirmed Cynthia's identity to Nala, who managed to compose herself." So, Felix really does have another engagement there?"

Pride flashed in Cynthia's eyes. "With my sister, of course! She told me not to cause trouble because she's confident she'll win Felix's heart. You'll all have to step aside eventually."

Though Nala did not know Cynthia, their brief conversation revealed that the girl came from an extraordinary background. Not only did she know everything about Nala, but she even possessed incredible power at such a young age. With this realization, Nala could only turn to Felix. "Felix, be careful," she warned before leaving.

Meanwhile, Felix stood in the courtyard, completely bewildered.

"Cynthia, right? Abyssal Surge Sect..." he began.

"Yep! I destroyed them. Wasn't that what you wanted?" she replied cheerfully.

Felix gasped as he realized Cynthia had really done it. To annihilate Abyssal Surge Sect in such a short time, her power must have been astronomical.

As he opened the gates to let Cynthia in, Felix had many questions. "What exactly is this place

all keep referring to as 'there'?"

you

"That's my

homeland! I can't tell you about it. You'll have to discover it through other means. Neither I nor Nala can reveal it to you directly."

This confirmed that Nala was also from that mysterious place. "Alright. We can skip that

1 question. Cynthia, if you're this powerful, your sister must be even more formidable?" Cynthia's smile widened. "Of course! She's exceptional and renowned even in our homeland. She's definitely stronger than me!" Felix felt the pressure mounting. "Then, why are you so sure I'm your brother-in-law? Surely I'm not worthy of your sister in any way."

Cynthia pouted and explained, "My sister deeply respects our family elders, so she'll honor

the arranged marriage. She'll fulfill her duty as a wife regardless of who her husband is, even if he were disabled."

Felix was stunned. Since leaving the mountain, he had encountered two arranged marriages- Xena and Nala-both with their own standards of compatibility. Yet, here was someone willing to commit without even meeting him, which was truly unexpected. "So, why are you here?" he asked.

Cynthia replied, "I'm handling some family business and delivering a message from my sister as requested. Though she agrees to the marriage you must make your own way to our land if you want to be with her. Nothing else matters because she can't come here." She added, "So, work hard! I'll be leaving once my business is done. Looking forward to seeing you there!"
