Chapter 431 - 430

Chapter 430

What?

….

Everyone felt they had misheard the Sect Leader and incredulously turned to look at “Keera”.

Kate was especially flustered as she looked around and asked, “Where is the Senior Sister?”

James also eagerly turned to the entrance, eyes shining, “The Senior Sister is here? Where? Where?”

The couple had a knack for complementing each other, which made the rest of the people seem much brighter by comparison.

Chris looked at Keira in astonishment, then back at Trevor, before suddenly pointing toward Keira and asking, “Trevor, is she our Senior Sister?”

This remark made James and Kate abruptly turn their heads to look at Keira.

They were about to ask if that was true when they saw Trevor nod. “That’s right!”

James was stunned.

He was utterly dumbfounded and looked at “Keera” in disbelief.

Wasn’t Keera just an Outer Sect Disciple of the Freeman Sect? How could she possibly be the Senior Sister?!

Even Lady Gill furrowed her brows. “Master Freeman, you would tell such a lie to protect her? You are so…”

Trevor sighed. “She is the Senior Sister. Why wouldn’t you believe me? Could I possibly mistake my disciple? Plus, the position of Senior Sister is tied to the future of our sect. How could I lie about something like that?”

Only then did James turn toward Keira, and suddenly, as if realizing something, he said, “So, that day during the selection for the martial arts tournament for Outer Sect Disciples, you didn’t win because I was too tired and momentarily lost focus?”

Keira asked, “Didn’t you let me win that day?”

James was shocked.

When had he ever let her win? He had been trying his best, hadn’t he?

But was she really that skilled?

As he pondered this, he heard Chris say, “No wonder yesterday when I had a sparring match with Keera, she punched me and sent me reeling back several steps!”

James was perplexed.

He and Kate immediately turned to look at Chris, both speaking in unison.

“Master, weren’t you going easy on her?”

“Dad, you were holding back, right?”

Chris immediately shook his head. “No, why would I hold back? She’s a martial arts master!”

James and Kate were shocked.

Even Uncle Olsen raised an eyebrow in surprise, looking toward Keira.

What others found hard to understand, he had instantly grasped.

The Senior Sister from the Freeman Sect wasn’t Keera. It was Keira!

A trace of relief suddenly filled his gaze.

His daughter had grown up in Oceanion and had experienced many challenges, but the pressures of fate had never bent her spine. She had always stood tall and upright and grown up so well!

While the crowd was still shocked, suddenly, a loud wail broke the silence. “Jackson, do you see that? Do you see that? I didn’t go easy on her! She’s the Senior Sister. How could I have let her win during the martial arts tournament?!”

Erick Miles stood to the side, his nose bruised and face swollen, suddenly breaking into loud tears.

Since the last martial arts competition, everyone assumed that he had been lenient toward Keira out of pity and tenderness, which was why he let Keira win that match. Otherwise, how could Keira have possibly won?

Therefore, the Gill family held a grudge against him. Erick’s days at the Freeman Sect were simply unbearable. Everyone either hit or cursed him, and day after day, people challenged him to a duel, and he couldn’t refuse!

He was beaten every day, and he went to explain to Jackson every day, but Jackson simply didn’t believe him… Until this moment, his role finally became clear!

Erick wept bitterly. As he cried, he suddenly felt that something was amiss… No… The timing seemed entirely off right now, didn’t it?!

Trevor walked over leisurely and also stood by the Olsen family, facing Lady Gill. “Lady Gill, this is the Freeman Sect’s way, where we send Outer Sect Disciples to experience life. My disciple here, she’s just too righteous and cannot stand all sorts of crooked and evil practices. Your son and your nephew have been bullying men and women outside. My disciple couldn’t stand it any longer. As the Senior Sister, it’s not too much for her to teach the junior brothers a lesson, right?”

James and Kate immediately chimed in. “Not too much at all! It’s natural for our Senior Sister to educate us!”

Trevor then looked toward Jackson again, “As for you… you went to Matias’s house yesterday, didn’t you? Then, what did you do? Do I need to say it out loud here? Matias only has one sister, and she’s mute. Are you even human, bullying her like that?! If my disciple hadn’t arrived, you might have succeeded, right? What’s wrong with her teaching you a lesson?”

Jackson’s face turned dark. That part of a man represented a certain ability, and now he was ruined! He would never be able to bed a woman again! At this particular moment, his psyche had become completely twisted!

Trevor looked at Lady Gill once more. “Lady Gill, the Freeman Sect has given you an explanation. Are you sure you still want to fight today?”

Lady Gill took a deep breath in anger. After a long pause, she extended her finger toward Trevor and Uncle Olsen, pointing at each of them and then finally at Keira. “Well, the young lady is quite capable! Hiding your identity just for this trick, huh?! I’m utterly convinced!”

Then she angrily looked at Trevor. “You have gone too far. From now on, the Gill family will sever all business relations with the Olsen family and all cooperation with the Freeman Sect! Austin and Jackson will leave the Freeman Sect from this point forward and will no longer be disciples of the Freeman Sect!!”

Having said that, Lady Gill swung her arm fiercely, leading her group majestically as they prepared to leave!

Keira watched her, thought about what Lady Gill had said, and slightly furrowed her brows. “Wait a moment!”

Lady Gill stopped and turned back to look at her. Keira sighed silently. “Lady Gill, this matter has already been clarified. As the Senior Sister, it’s only right for me to discipline them. Why must you…”

“Hah, the Gill family has been fooled and applauded your actions time and again, is that fun for you? If you had made clear your identity from the start, I wouldn’t feel this humiliated! Young lady, since you’ve done the deed, don’t try to play innocent!”

Keira didn’t know what to say. No… She hadn’t known from the start that she was the Senior Sister!

But saying this, she was sure they wouldn’t believe her.

…Never mind. The more she explained, the messier it would get. Besides, although she wanted to cooperate with the Gill family, she didn’t want to do so while feeling constrained, especially since it was Austin and Jackson who had done wrong…

Seeing her expression, Lady Gill let out a cold laugh, turned to leave, but then heard her say again. “Wait a moment!”

Lady Gill turned around, wondering what she would say next, only to see Keira walk past her, approach Jackson, and stare at him with a grim look.

Jackson panicked. “What, what are you looking at?”

Keira said, “The pendant you stole from Nara yesterday, give it back to me!”

Upon hearing this, Jackson instantly panicked, his gaze involuntarily shifting toward Austin.
