The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 1903

The Martial Alliance branch manager's words left every martial artist present chuckling under their breaths, some out loud.

Still, they promptly clasped their hands on their mouths when they noticed Phoenix's murderous glare and had to endure the pain of stifling laughter.

Either way, it was hilarious—Phoenix had looked so confident, even demanding the manager's presence and announcing to everyone she had the Martial Alliance's recommendation.

She did not expect not to receive the recommendation or her comeuppance so quickly.

Every molecule of her body felt humiliated, and everyone's stares were suddenly sharp blades piercing her fragile ego.

She hung her head, wanting nothing more than to hide.

And even if many of the martial artists present were afraid to laugh, most of them turned away, clasping their hands over their mouths to stop the awkwardness from spiraling out of control.

"Who has the recommendation?!"

Nonetheless, Phoenix soon snapped, seizing the Martial Alliance branch manager by the collar and demanding angrily, "You said someone was given the recommendation, which was why my application was denied, no?!"

"You see…"

The manager frowned as he nodded, explaining in annoyance, "I understand that it upsets you that your application was denied. But in the presence of so many other martial artists, you should watch yourself for the sake of Cloudnine Sect's reputation."

The various Martial Alliance branch managers each had ties to the government and were naturally immune to the influence of major sects or factions—especially a mere sect apprentice.

As such, while this Martial Alliance branch manager would have been respectful toward some major figure in martial arts, he was not at all polite toward Phoenix.
