Austin looked at Jackson with suspicion, not
understanding what was going on.
Jackson swallowed hard. âWhat thing? Iâve never seen
it!â
Keira immediately grabbed his collar, almost lifting him
off his feet.
Jackson suddenly screamed, âAuntie, look, sheâs trying to kill me! This is a blatant bullying of the Gillfamily!â
Lady Gill glared over in anger.
But Keira did not back down at all.
When Nara talked about the pendant yesterday, she hesitated, initially seeming reluctant to tell her,wanting to avoid troubling her.
But in the end, she still wrote it down and told her, which meant the pendant was very important to her!
Nara was never one for troubling others. When she told her that Matias was sick last time, and Keiraasked
if the family had money for the treatment, Nara had
nodded affirmatively.
It wasnât until yesterdayâs visit that Keira discovered her family really was extremely poor.
Nara had graduated from college, and was currently just an intern with low wages-barely enough to liveon after paying rent.
Matias was an Outer Sect Disciple in the Freeman Sect, and the money he got every month wasnâtmuch
either.
All the savings over the years had gone to Naraâs
educationâ¦n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
When Matias got sick, he went to a small clinicâ¦
Therefore, Keira had to help Nara get the pendant
back.
Keira told Lady Gill, âThat pendant is very important to my friend, so I must get it back. I presume LadyGill wouldnât object, right? After all, it belongs to someone
else!â
Jackson spat out resentfully. âHer thing? Donât try to scam us here! Yes, youâre just deliberatelyprovoking!â
Keira stared at him unflinchingly, her gaze briefly shooting toward the bulge in his groin. She scoffed
coldly. âAre you sure you wonât give it back?â
Jackson was frightened by her gaze and suddenly cried out. âIâll give it back, Iâll give it back!â
It was then that Keira let go of him.
Jackson took a deep breath, then said, âI can give it to you, but take a look at me, Iâve already changedinto patient clothes. I donât have anything on me, but Iâll send someone to deliver it to you once I getback!â
Seeing he was, indeed, wearing patient clothes and didnât appear to be carrying anything, Keira didnâttrouble him further, simply saying calmly, âI should see that object tonight, or Iâll find out which hospitalyouâre staying atâ¦â
Jackson immediately looked panicked.
Austin then said, âYouâ¦â
âElders are speaking, donât interrupt at will,â Keira cut
him off, silencing Austin. â
Austin was speechless.
Keira indeed was the respected Senior Sister.
The respected Senior Sister had a special significance
within the whole Freeman Sect, so there was no problem in referring to her as an elder.
It was just that Austin felt aggrieved.
Keira took a step back, and only then did these people
leave.
After they had gone, Keira finally breathed a sigh of relief, then turned toward James and Kate.
Before she could speak, James rushed to her, âSister Keera! You, youâre actually my Senior Sister!Youâre too amazing! Come, letâs spar a bit, let me witness the strength of the Senior Sister!â
âStep aside!â Kate also rushed over, grabbing Keiraâs arm with glittering eyes. âSister Keera, can youteach me how you can be so skilled in martial arts but have such soft flesh?!â
Keira was dumbfounded.
âCome on, tell me, I hate those rock-hard muscles the
most!â
Keira twitched her lips and glanced at Trevor. âMaybe, it could be, because Iâm not diligent enough?â.
Kate was confused.
Trevor didnât know what to say.
Trevor glared at her. âKate, donât listen to her nonsense. She has endured too much inhumane
torment since she was little, and thatâs why she has
developed such great muscles. Normal people can only get them through training!â
Kate asked curiously, âWhat kind of inhumane
torment?â
Uncle Olsen heard this and turned his head, pricking up his ears.
Trevor said, âWhen I first met her, she wouldnât say a word to me. Later on, I got friendly with a group ofold men and women, taking them to practice Tai Chi every dayâ¦â
Keira interrupted him. âYou mean dancing in the square, right?â
Trevor was dumbfounded.
The rest of the people immediately looked at Trevor, unable to imagine their solemn Sect Leaderactually joining a group of people for dancing.
But Keira laughed.
prer
At that time, her master only taught her for two hours a day; the rest of the time, he was bored anddecided to strengthen the bodies of the old men and women. Initially, he had wanted to train them inmartial arts, but in the end, he was led to participate in dancing!
A master of martial arts, twisting his waist alongside a bunch of old men and women, it seemed socomical in
retrospect!
Trevor coughed. âThatâs not important!â
He continued. âAfter I got to know them, some of them knew Keera and told me a lot about herchildhoodâ¦
They said when she was just born, her mother wouldnât breastfeed her, and she almost starved todeath⦠Later on, she was hardly ever given enough to eat and was made to do heavy labor, and thenthey would beat her daily, which was light punishment on her. She seemed to frequently have brokenarms and legs, and was also forced to kneel as a penaltyâ¦
Trevor sighed quietly. âWhen I heard this, I got so angry. I wanted to rush over and kill that mother, butshe stopped me. She said that, after all, she did give her life..â
Trevor still didnât know the complexities of Keiraâs background; he was still at the initial stage.
Keira didnât explain.
Just as she was about to say something, suddenly she heard a deep voice suppressing anger. âAndwhat else?â
Trevor added. âOh, I also heard that when Keera was about three or four years old, her momdeliberately threw her to human traffickers. Later, it was the police who came knocking, saying they hadfound her daughter, and she even refused to acknowledge her!â
Trevor looked at Kate. âWould you want such a mom?â
Kate immediately shook her head, then looked at Keira. âSenior Sister, your life was so tough!â
James also said, âNo wonder a scumbag could deceive you, it must be because you were too starvedfor love!â
Keira didnât know what to say.
This guy was confusing her own life with Keeraâs.
But she didnât explain too much. âAlright, thereâs nothing else. Everyone back to their position!â
Trevor nodded and then suddenly said, âArenât we forgetting something?â
âSeems like it⦠Isnât there someone we still havenât
dealt with?â
As they were speaking, everyone left at a leisurely pace. Erick Miles, who had been hiding in the crowdtrying his best to be invisible, finally breathed a sigh of relief!
Goshâ¦
He had already paid the price for his past assistance to Jackson in committing wrongful deeds!!
Lady Gill left the building with her people and
suddenly looked at Jackson. âWhat did you take from that girl?â
