Chapter 428

Several people looked toward him and saluted. “Master.”

….

Trevor waved his hand dismissively and walked to the seat at the head of the room.

Today, Trevor had his usual imposing demeanor restored; the swelling in his eyes had subsided, and the allergic reaction on his face had healed.

Chris said, “Master Freeman, did you just say she wouldn’t apologize? Are you going to get Uncle Olsen involved? Although Uncle Olsen has never lowered his head to anyone, Keera made the first move this time…”

Trevor scoffed. “The appearance of such an unworthy man within the Freeman Sect results from our oversight. He’s been causing trouble outside, and any disciple of the Freeman Sect should have intervened!”

Chris could only smile wryly. “Master Freeman, what you’re saying makes sense, but isn’t there… an issue with their statuses? Jackson was causing trouble, but she should have reported it to the sect instead of taking the law into her own hands. Otherwise, doesn’t that render our Disciplinary Hall meaningless?”

Trevor’s stance was still resolute. “Isn’t it meaningless now?”

Not understanding why Trevor had been pleading with Lady Gill just yesterday but was so assertive today, Chris coughed and slowly said, “No, that’s not it. The crux of the matter lies in that Keera didn’t have the status to strike a fellow sect member.”

Trevor immediately scoffed. “Says who?”

Upon hearing this, Chris was stunned. “What? What status does she have?”

Trevor looked at him but didn’t speak.

Just then, a voice came from outside. “Master Freeman, Master Chris, we have visitors!”

“Who is it?”

“It’s Uncle Olsen from the Olsen family. We’ve already opened the main gate and personally ushered him in.”

Upon hearing that Uncle Olsen had arrived, Trevor and Chris immediately exchanged glances and hurried out the door, only to see rows of black vehicles driving into the yard of the Freeman Sect.

The impressive aura made it clear that the visitor had ill intentions.

Soon, Uncle Olsen’s car stopped in front of them. His assistant stepped out and ran to the back to open the door for Uncle Olsen.

Inside, Uncle Olsen glanced coldly at Trevor and Chris before finally stepping out with authority.

Trevor immediately stepped forward. “Uncle Olsen, to what do we owe this honor?”

Uncle Olsen snorted. “I’ve heard that my daughter has suffered a lot of grievances here at the Freeman Sect and that someone named Jackson has been bullying her all the time. So today, I’ve come to seek justice.”

Chris was speechless.

Wasn’t Jackson the victim here?

Why did it seem like Keera was portrayed as the victim?!

Unable to hold back, he stepped forward and directly addressed Uncle Olsen. “Uncle Olsen, your timing is perfect. Just take Keera home and hide her away. Once the Gill family’s anger subsides, you can let her come out again…”

Uncle Olsen sneered. “My daughter has done nothing wrong. Why should she hide?”

Chris didn’t know what to say.

He looked toward Trevor, only to hear him nod and say, “Exactly, why should she hide?”

“Because she has injured a direct descendant of the Gill family!”

At that moment, Lady Gill came striding over, seething with anger.

Her car hadn’t driven in but was parked outside. Following her, several bodyguards carried a stretcher, striding to the front. On that stretcher, Jackson lay there covered with a quilt, which was propped up at the thigh to prevent it from touching the wound. His face was ashen, his eyes full of a sinister glint, and at this moment, his eyes filled with tears as he looked at Lady Gill. “Aunt, you must stand up for me!”

Lady Gill then turned to Uncle Olsen. “Sam, your daughter has beaten up my nephew. You must give us an explanation for this!”

Uncle Olsen spread his hands. “Your nephew often bullies my daughter at the Freeman Sect. Shouldn’t you also give me an explanation for that?”

Lady Gill rebuked. “Stop making excuses here!”

“Making excuses? Everyone in the Freeman Sect’s Outer Sect Disciples knows that Jackson bullied my daughter. Should I question them one by one?”

Lady Gill retorted. “Even so, that doesn’t justify resorting to violence!”

Uncle Olsen sneered. “So your nephew is allowed to bully others, but my daughter isn’t allowed to defend herself? What kind of logic is that?”

Lady Gill scoffed. “As far as I’m aware, he didn’t lay a hand on your daughter yesterday, did he?”

Uncle Olsen snorted. “Exactly, he’s only a piece of trash that bullies the weak. Where would he dare to touch my daughter now? He was bullying another child, and my daughter couldn’t stand by—that’s why she intervened! Lady Gill, if you want to take this to court, then go ahead and call the police! Let’s see how they handle it when they arrive!”

Lady Gill choked up. At the end of the day, it was Jackson who started by bullying others and ended up getting beaten. Even if the police were really called, after everything was cleared up, at most Keira would be deemed to have exercised excessive self-defense, and the Olsen family would just have to compensate for medical expenses.

Lady Gill, indignant, immediately looked at Trevor. “Master Freeman, what do you have to say?!”

Before Trevor could speak, Lady Gill sneered. “Keira did nothing wrong in the eyes of outsiders, but what about the rules of the Freeman Sect? I let go of the incident with my son being beaten yesterday! But today’s situation with Jackson is more than just a beating—he’s been crippled! Who knows how he’s going to live in the future! She absolutely cannot be let off lightly! I demand that the Freeman Sect make her experience all the pain she inflicted on Jackson, and furthermore, to expel her from the sect!”

Hearing this, James glanced at Jackson and then coughed, “Well, Lady Gill, the key is that my sister doesn’t have that ‘thing’ so how could she get injured in the same way?”

The crowd was dumbfounded. For a moment, they actually felt the argument was quite reasonable! Other injuries, like missing arms or broken legs, could be replicated, but this injury couldn’t be transferred onto a woman!

Lady Gill sneered. “I’ve thought of that already. Injure Keira’s reproductive organs, removing the uterus as punishment should suffice!”

After all, Jackson wouldn’t be able to have children! So depriving Keira of the ability to have children seemed only fair. The balance seemed perfectly just.

But as soon as these words were spoken, Uncle Olsen’s expression darkened, and he took a step forward, staring intensely at Lady Gill. “Let’s see who dares lay a finger on my daughter?!”

His aura was commanding, and his stance was like that of a tiger descending from the mountain, causing everyone present to be startled. Lady Gill, however, was not scared and just sneered. “What? Sam, are you going to strike a woman?”

Uncle Olsen narrowed his eyes and remained silent.

Lady Gill then turned back to Trevor. “Master Freeman, is it that whoever shouts the loudest gets their way in the Freeman Sect? What about the rules of the sect? Aren’t they to be followed? I demand that the Freeman Sect deal with Keira according to its rules!”

Trevor said leisurely, “But, Keira hasn’t violated any rules of the Freeman Sect, has she?”
