Nara struggled, her jade pendant swinging in sync
with her body.
She looked at Matias with tears in her eyes, angrily staring at Jackson, shaking her head vigorously,trying to say the words âdonât.â
But when she opened her mouth, she couldnât speak a
wordâ¦
Seeing this, Jackson stepped forward.
Then he noticed the crescent on her neck and was momentarily taken aback.
He scoffed, then forcefully pulled the jade pendant off her neck, toying with it in his hand. âThis thinglooks pretty valuable! Itâs definitely stolen from the main house, right? Itâs mine now!â
Having said that, he pocketed the jade pendant.
Matias immediately yelled, âGive it back to Nara! Give it back to her!â
Nara also wanted to step forward and grab it.â

But alas, she was held back by the bodyguards.
Jackson chuckled mockingly. âGive it back to her? Matias, youâre just an irrelevant branch of the Gillfamily, and you donât even show a bit of respect for our direct lineage, fighting me every day alongsidethat Keera. Today, Iâll make you understand the consequences of disrespecting the direct lineage!â
Leaving those words behind, he kicked Matias in the stomach, then walked straight toward Nara.
He extended his hand, placing it on Naraâs shoulder, and revealed a sleazy smile.
Matias was furious and desperate, lacking the strength to rush over to protect her, he could only curseloudly. âJackson, you bastard! Sheâs a member of the Gill family, practically your sister!â
Jackson sneered. âDonât think I donât know, this girl was just picked up by your family. She looks soexquisite, so why donât you come and play with me? Iâll consider it as you compensating me withKeera!â
Hearing this, Matias was both anxious and angry.
He hated his own helplessness, tears rolling down the
corners of his avon
Nara was trembling all over.
Jackson roughly tore her clothes, exposing her fair shoulders, then his hand began to wander over herbody.
âYou bastard! You son of a bitch, let her go!â
Matias shouted furiously, crawling toward them.
Frantically panicked, Nara tried to resist and push him away, but how could her strength matchJacksonâs?
âRip!â
Her clothes were torn further!
Painful tears filled Naraâs eyes, and she took the opportunity to bite down on Jacksonâs arm!
Jackson cried out in pain and pushed her away.
The others immediately took control of her arms, their gaze falling on the skin under her ripped clothes.
The weather was still a bit cold.
Nara shivered uncontrollably, not knowing whether from fear or from the cold.
She stubbornly looked at Jackson, tears brimming in

Jackson glanced at his arm, saw that blood had been drawn by the bite, and flew into a rage, hestretched out his hand and slapped Naraâs face hard!
âSmack!â
Naraâs head turned slightly, and a sharp ringing
suddenly echoed in her ears.
âJackson, let her go! Let her go!â
The sound of Matiasâs painful cries was still resounding beside her, as he lay on the ground, dragginghis injured, bleeding legâ¦
Jackson, however, looked at Nara coldly with a sneer. âThe girl is quite stubborn, huh? But perfect,sheâs just my type! Look at this little face, pure as a lotusâ¦â
He held Naraâs chin firmly, then leaned in and kissed her face fiercely!
But just as he was about to touch Nara, Keiraâs angry shout came from the doorway. âStop it!â
Matias hesitated slightly.
When he turned back, he saw Keira had already charged up, delivering a kick straight to his back,n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
sending him flving and crashing heavily onto the

ground nearby!
Seeing this, the rest of the thugs immediately charged forward.
Lewis had already arrived behind Keira, straightening his suit collar, his dark eyes staring down atthose men, then one by one, he took them all down!
Keira didnât turn around, but instead looked at Nara.novelbin
Seeing her clothes torn, her gaze turned fierce as she stared at the two men holding Nara, who jumpedat her look and immediately released their grip.
Nara went limp, nearly collapsing to the ground!
She looked at Matias through her tearsâ¦
Keira immediately took off her jacket and draped it over Nara, who clutched her hand, tears falling even
faster.
Keira immediately asked, âDid he assault you?â
Nara nodded tearfully, then shook her head.
Matias immediately said, âKeera, let them go.â
But Keira didnât listen. Instead, her eyes reddened as she turned to look at Jackson.
Entering just moments ago, she had heard his words, and she now understood that Jackso âs beatingsand bullying of Nara were all because of her.
This man truly knew how to bully the weak and fear the strong â seeing her take a strong stance, hetargeted her friend!
Keira was furious and took steps towards Jackson.
She soon stood in front of him, then turned back and pointed at Nara. âApologize to her!â
Enduring the pain, Jackson climbed up from the ground, staring at Keira with venom. âWhy should I?!â
Keira reached out and grabbed his collar. âI told you to apologize!!â
Jackson, caught by her, sneered. âKeera, you sure can fight now, canât you? But itâs useless! After all,Iâm now your senior. Didnât Lady Gill come to you today? How dare you do anything to me now?â
Keira narrowed her eyes.
Nara had already rushed to Matiasâs side, clutching the jacket Keira had put on her and sobbing withher head lowered.

Matias gently patted her back.
Then, making an effort, he slowly stood up and said, âKeera, step aside.â
Keira didnât move.
Matias slowly walked over. âI canât let you break the Freeman Sectâs rules because of us. You canât hithim,
but I canâ¦â
With these words, he threw a fierce punch at Matiasâs
cheek!
Matiasâs cheek was struck to the side, but he just spat a mouthful of blood at him. âMatias, you donâtwant to remain a disciple of the Freeman Sect?!â
âI quit!â
Matiasâs eyes were bloodshot, staring at him with almost complete bloodlust. âMartial arts are meant toprotect loved ones. Now, bound by the sect rules, I canât beat you even after the humiliations youâvebrought upon us. Iâd rather not be an Outer Sect Disciple of the Freeman Sect!â
Having said this, he threw another punch, aiming to hit straight at Jacksonâs face!
But unexpectedly, a sudden excruciating pain in his leg made him unable to stand steady, his bodyswayed, and he slumped to the side.
Seeing this, Jackson couldnât help but laugh. âWhat a waste! Matias, youâre so useless even when itcomes to hitting me. You and your sister deserve to be bullied by
me!â
After saying that, he turned his gaze to Keera. âKeera, what can you do to me?! Let me tell you, Matiasis done for. I can walk out of here today with my head held high! You have assault charges against afellow sect member on your back. If you dare touch me, do you believe that by tomorrow, you could beexpelled from the Freeman Sect?!â
No sooner had Jackson finished his taunt than he saw Keiraâs gaze turn ferociousâ¦
