Kate was stunned, with tears still hovering at the brink of falling, she was suddenly petrified.
She swallowed and then looked toward James.
James immediately nodded. âDidnât I tell you yesterday that Uncle Olsen has a daughter? Itâs her, mylittle
sister!â
Kate was dumbfounded.
She became completely petrified.
Then, she looked again at Keira and suddenly blurted out, âThatâs impossible. I donât believe you!â
James grew anxious and was about to explain further when he heard Kate saying, âHow can such arobust man like you have a sister who is so devastatingly beautiful? Sheâs so stunning that she lookslike she
comes from another world!â
James was speechless.
Keira didnât know what to say.
|||
O
Keira was slightly taken aback, then noticed Kate
sneaking a peep at her, her lively eyes showing a hint of slyness and appeasement, and Keiraimmediately understood.
Kate was trying to make up for her behavior just now.
Keira couldnât help but laugh. âI really am his sister.â
Kate said, âThen there must have been a genetic
mutation in James.â
She promptly put away her whip and rushed over to Keira, holding Keiraâs arm. âKeera, right? Just now,I felt threatened because youâre so beautiful. You wonât be mad at me, will you?â
There was nothing to be mad about!
Moreover, Kate had been very measured in her actions earlier while in a fit of anger, knowing Keira wasan Outer Sect Disciple, and she had let a lot of things slide. Even when Jackson was scolding Keira,Kate had
taken Keiraâs side, saying something about it took two
to tango,
With her current playful and cute demeanor, Keira found it impossible to feel offended!
O
She smiled and said, âSister-in-law, nice to meet you.â
The term âsister-in-lawâ brought a blush to Kateâs cheeks. She shyly turned her head, then felt aroundher waist, and finally pulled out a dagger and handed it to Keira. âSister, itâs the first time we met; this isa gift for you!â
Keira accepted the dagger. âThank you.â
James couldnât help but cry out, âKate, isnât that the dagger Master gave you? Itâs extremely sharp! Iâvebeen envious of it for years, and you wouldnât give it to me, but you gave it to my sister!â
Kate glared at him. âYour robust physique suits a club just fine. Keera looks so delicate, and a daggerfor self-defense suits her perfectly. Why are you competing with her?â
James said in a sulk, ââ¦Alright.â
The three of them opened up a conversation when suddenly, they heard Jackson exclaim, âKeera, you,youâre the daughter that Uncle Olsen acknowledged and took home yesterday?â
The family reunion the day before wasnât grand, having
only invited relatives from the Olgan family and
hadnât been heavily publicized.
However, Lewisâs betrothal gifts and the long speech Tom gave at the reunion had already become thetalk of the town in Clance.
Jackson had come to the Freeman Sect early in the morning intending to give Keera trouble, so hehadnât heard who the daughter was, only knowing that such a person existed.
It was only upon hearing their conversation that he became aware of it.
He hadnât expected this woman to be Uncle Olsenâs daughter!
No wonder she dared to barge into their home and h
Austin!
Austin was the third son of the Direct Lineage of the Gill family and the favorite youngest son of theFamily
Headâs wife!!!
Jackson started to panic.
Upon hearing this, James immediately looked at him, âThatâs right, remember this, Keera is the eldestlegitimate daughter of our Olsen family. If you dare to
bully her again, just you wait!â
After that, he grabbed Kateâs hand. âKate, letâs go find the Sect Leader. He agreed to take my littlesister as a nominal disciple!â
Kateâs eyes shone with excitement. âThat means sheâll be my junior sister then! Keera, letâs go!â
Kate took Keiraâs hand.
Seeing this, James couldnât help feeling a bit jealous. âHey, your fiancé is right here!â
âGo away. You big, rough, stinky man. How can you compare to a pretty girl?!â
Kate leaned on Keira.
If it werenât for the fact that Kate had fought desperately for James just a moment ago, Keira mighthave suspected that Kate didnât like James at all.
Looking at James, however, it seemed he was used to
1.
He even scratched his head and explained, âKate likes pretty girls.â
He didnât mean Kate was sexually attracted to women.
It was merely an appreciation of beauty.
Keira expressed her understanding, and Kate sighed. âEver since I was little, Iâve been surrounded bymen. Practicing martial arts every day made them so tough and rigid, so I like the sweet fragrance ofgirls.â
After that, she added, âKeera, youâre so soft. I really like you.â
Then she pinched Keiraâs arm.
Keira didnât know what to say.
James chimed in. âThatâs because Keera doesnât practice martial arts often. If she practiced more, hermuscles would become harder. You donât believe me? When our senior sister comes, try pinching her
arm.â
Kate immediately pursed her lips. âI still like Keera more; sheâs definitely sweeter. Iâm sure Iâll like her
more.â
James was dumbfounded.
He got anxious. âKate, although Keera is my sister, and I agree with you, the senior sister is sacred anduntouchable! You donât need to say such things aloud!â
Kate huffed and turned to Keira. âKeera. donât listen to
him. Heâs a huge fan of our senior sister, bringing her up every day. If you didnât know better, youâdthink he
has a crush on her!â
James flashed a grin. âIf I didnât have you, it might indeed be possible, but here you are. So now, myadmiration for the senior sister can only be purenovelbin
admiration.â
Kate said, âOh my, thatâs really too bad, isnât it? Did I ruin your perfect match?â
James immediately waved his hands. âNot at all, not at
all. Our senior sister is sacred and must not be
disrespected. Havenât I just told you? Donât joke about this anymore!â
Kate pouted but stopped joking. She simply said, âAlright, alright, I get it. I also greatly admire the seniosister, okay?â
Keira was amazed by the way the two interacted.
James might seem like a simpleton who listened to everything Kate said, but every time he saidsomething, Kate respected it.
For example, she would listen to him regarding
principles like not joking about the senior sister.
How interesting.
As they talked, they arrived at the small courtyard where Chris Freeman, Kateâs father, lived. He wasalso Jamesâs Master and the Sect Leaderâs second brother.
Chris was second in rank in the Freeman family, second when practicing martial arts, second inestablishing his own Sect, and even had a disciple who was the second senior brother of the FreemanSect.
His life seemed destined to be associated with the
number two.
He was waiting for them in the room.
Today, to show his welcome for his new disciple, he had put on a set of new practice clothes; a white,sho martial arts jacket tucked neatly into his waistband, making him look very tidy and smart.
As they entered, his gaze fell on Keira, and then he paused slightly.
