Chapter 414
“By the way, sis, what was going on during the last martial arts competition? How did you manage to dodge my three moves? I underestimated you, though. I’ll properly teach you how to fight one of these days and test your skills again…

….
“Oh, right, my fiancée’s name is Kate, and I’ve arranged to meet her today—once you guys meet, we’ll all be family!

“I’m not marrying into her family; don’t get it twisted. The Olsen family couldn’t possibly resort to that. I just don’t have a choice since the Freeman Sect is lacking successors, alas!

“Well, it’s not exactly a lack of successors. Kate does have many brothers and sisters, but not many of them are really up to par in martial arts. Nowadays, people who can endure hardship and work hard are scarce… I was sent here by my third uncle at the age of three and have diligently practiced ever since… very few people can do that…

“But I’ve heard that our eldest senior sister started practicing martial arts at fifteen and only trains for two hours a day, sometimes even less… She’s really amazing!

“…”

Keira realized that James was an absolute chatterbox.

Ever since meeting her, the guy hadn’t stopped yapping.

As they entered the Freeman Sect and were about to head for the backyard, they spotted a slender girl standing in the resting area for Outer Sect Disciples. Her eyes lit up upon seeing Keira, and she immediately rushed over, grabbing Keira’s arm.

Keira was startled.

The girl gestured with her hands and then, realizing something, took out a notebook and started writing. After quickly jotting down a few words, she handed it to her.

Keira read the note in the girl’s neat handwriting. It read, “Hello, I am Nara, Matias’s sister. Jackson beat my brother, and Matia is currently bedridden. He asked me to warn you to be careful of Jackson’s retaliation.”

Keira blinked in surprise, then looked again at the girl in front of her.

She was beautiful, like a delicate white flower. Was she mute?

Keira pursed her lips and picked up the paper and pen to write something, but the girl snatched them away and waved her hand. Then she pointed to her ear to indicate she could hear.

Keira said, “I see. Has your brother been to the hospital? Is it serious?”

The girl started writing again. “He’s been treated. It’s not severe, just a broken leg; he’ll need to rest in bed for a month.”

Keira then asked, “Do you have enough money for the medical expenses?”

The girl immediately nodded and then gestured with her hand, indicating she was about to leave.

But Keira was somewhat concerned and stopped her. “Where do you live? I’ll come visit Matias when I have time.”

Matias had always defended her sister Keera. He had provoked Jackson and got beaten because of that. She had a responsibility to treat him well.

The girl took the paper and pen, wrote down an address, tore off the page, and handed it to Keira. Then she smiled sweetly at Keira and ran off.

Keira watched her leave, shaking her head slightly.

She slipped the address into her pocket, then turned to James, about to say something, when a sharp cry suddenly came from the side. “Keera!”

Keira turned around to see a spunky-looking girl striding toward her and angrily declaring. “Come on, let’s fight!”

Keira was confused.

Caught off guard, she was about to ask who the girl was when she heard James say, “Kate? Your timing is perfect! Let me introd—”

Before he could finish, Jackson appeared. “Senior Sister Kate, did you see that? I told you Second Senior Brother had changed. He’s been bewitched by this Outer Sect Disciple called Keera, and Keera has clung to him, wielding power and bullying us in the Outer Sect! You must stand up for us!”

With these words, Kate stared at James, and then her eyes became red. “You told me you only loved me!”

James said, “No, listen, I want to introduce her to you. She’s…”

“I don’t care!” Kate immediately looked at Keira. “We are all martial artists, so let’s settle this the martial artist’s way! Today, you and I will have a match. Whoever wins gets James!”

Her eyes were red, and she looked somewhat hurt.

Keira was speechless.

“Seriously, people are actually fighting over my silly and naive third brother?”

She had originally thought that James was reaching above his station by dating the daughter of the Freeman Sect, but it seemed they really were a match!

Kate was conned with just a few words…

Was the standard for raising children in the Freeman Sect a bit too low?

She tugged at the corner of her mouth, wanting to explain something, but Kate had already dropped her whip and untied the bandage on her leg. “You’re an Outer Sect Disciple, and your martial arts skills are not as good as mine, so I’ll let you have three moves, and I promise not to use weapons. You can choose any weapon that suits you, so I’m not bullying you! Let’s compete fairly and justly!”

Keira was dumbfounded.

She waved her hand, “I’m…”

“Take this!”

Kate didn’t wait for her to finish; being impulsive and impatient, she had already swung her fist at her.

Keira was taken aback. She took a discreet step back and before she could strike back, James had already rushed up and grabbed Kate’s fist.

Kate was stunned.

Jackson shouted, “Kate, do you see that? Even in front of you, he’s defending Keira. Do you really believe there’s nothing between them?”

Kate was even more upset, and tears began to fall. “James, you actually fought with me for her!”

James panicked and quickly reached out with his other hand to wipe her tears. “No, she’s my…”

“Get out of my way! I want to settle this with her! If I win, you come back to me!”

Kate pushed him away and once again swung her fists toward Keira.

Jackson watched the drama unfold, arms crossed. “Kate, you must teach this Keira a lesson. You have no idea; she flirts with men every day at the Freeman Sect, using her pretty face to bewitch James to the point he dares to lift a hand against you! Teach her a lesson!”

Upon hearing this, Kate suddenly turned around and picked up the whip on the ground.

Keira frowned.

Jackson immediately laughed. “Right, pick up the whip and beat her! There’s no need to be merciful to this kind of person!”

But as soon as these words fell, the whip made a crisp sound in the air and then viciously landed on Jackson!

Jackson was shocked.

“Ouch!” Jackson hopped in pain.

Kate stared at him. “No matter what the relationship between Keira and James is, it takes two to tango, and I won’t allow you to speak about a woman like that!”

After that, she turned to look at Keira, her eyes filling with tears again.

Keira said, “Don’t get excited. I’m his sister.”
