James dismissively retorted, âWho else could she be?â
Suddenly, he remembered what Ellis had said to him last night. There was no need to apologize to hiselder sister-in-law, just apologize to Uncle Olsenâ¦
He had gone to look for Uncle Olsen yesterday, but before even entering the door, he was sent here to
kneel in the ancestral hallâ¦
So⦠was there actually a connection between Keera
and Uncle Olsen?!
For her sake, Uncle Olsen would even drive Christina
out of the house, and now he was saying she wasnât an outsider. Could it meanâ¦
Jamesâs eyes suddenly lit up, and he carefully asked Uncle Olsen, âDo you know her well?â
Uncle Olsen nodded.
James immediately understood, âI see! Then,
congratulations, Uncle!â
Finally, he was going to have an aunt!
Although Keera was a bit young and looked more like Uncle Olsenâs daughter, Uncle Olsen had beensingle his entire life. As he grew older, he became
increasingly lonely. Every so often, when James saw him, he felt a deep sense of compassion and pity.
Even if Keera was younger, and even though she had been divorced and had a child, as long as shecould accompany Uncle Olsen, that would be fine!
Thinking James had understood, Uncle Olsen personally helped him up and then said, âBe nicer to herfrom now on.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
James immediately nodded. âDonât worry, Uncle, Iâll definitely be very polite to her in the future!â
Uncle Olsen said, âThereâs no need for that, just be a bit more affectionate. When Iâm gone, you guysmust take good care of her.â
Upon hearing this, James felt extremely sad. âUncle, donât say that. Youâre going to live a long, long lifeand keep her company! But rest assured, I will definitely b
very
dutiful to her in the future!â
Uncle Olsen was perplexed.
Itâs enough ta he dutiful to him. To ha dutiful to hia
own cousin, what was that about?
However, he didnât bother to correct him much, as James was famously academically challengedâsimple-minded and physically strong.
He patted James on the shoulder. âAlright, you can go
now.â
James nodded and walked away.
As he walked a distance, he glanced back and saw Uncle Olsen standing alone in the ancestral hall,murmuring, âSix days from now, Iâll organize a banquet to publicly announce her identity. Mom, Dad, Iâllbring her back for you to seeâ¦â
Jamesâs eyes teared up slightly.
Although he had never seen his grandmother, he had heard his father ramble on about how sheworried only about Uncle Olsenâs marital prospects when she passed away.
The banquet in six days⦠The event shrouded in
secrecy without a word to outsiders turned out to be Uncle Olsenâs wedding banquet!
But Uncle Olsen was being too low-key.
James decided he had to prepare a meeting gift for his
new aunt!
But what should he give her?
After much thought, James decided, âIâd better ask my
master!â
He was a martial arts student from the Freeman family, one of the five major families.
Although the Freeman family was among the five major families, their business wasnât in commerce butin
martial arts.
The Freeman familyâs enterprise wasnât called Freeman Corporation but Freeman Sect.
The Freeman Sect encompassed nearly all the martial arts masters of Crera. The scions of the fivemajor families who wanted to practice martial arts for a strong and healthy body also basically joinedthe
Freeman Sect.
James was a promising martial arts talent, noticed from a young age by the direct line of the Freemanfamily, and was among the best of his generation within the sectsâ disciples.
His master was the younger brother of the current Sect Leader of the Freeman family and secondMartial
Uncle to everyone.
Thus, James was considered a direct, inner disciple within the Freeman Sect, with a high status.
Freeman Sect.
At that moment, Keira was there as well, quietly staring at the big gate.
It was understood that taking on apprentices at the Freeman Sect began when they were just children,since once a child grew up, their bones set and martial artists must build a strong foundation from ayoung
age.
Keira, however, had no intention to join the Freem Sect or to pay respects to someone as her master.
She already had her own master in the martial arts
The mysterious South family had requested her cooperation with the five great families of Clancebefore they would tell her their next plans.
Now, among the five major families, the Olsen family, the Davis family, and the Allen family had beensettled with, leaving only the Freeman family and the Gill family.
She decided to target the Freeman family first.
The Freeman Sect had nurtured so many disciples and, while they never engaged in commercialventures to the outside world, they certainly had sources of income. Besides, if all else failed, hiring
protection from the Freeman Sect could be considered cooperation, right?!
With that thought in mind, Keira stepped forward and knocked on the Freeman familyâs large iron gate.
The Freeman family was located in a rather secluded area of Clance, and the large iron gate emanatedan ancient charm, clearly with a long history.
The door she knocked on was only a smaller gate.
Soon, a man dressed in a martial arts uniform cam over, opened the door, and upon seeing her, hehesitated slightly. âMiss, who are you looking for?â
Keira pondered for a moment. âIâm looking for the
head of our business affairâ
fnovelbin
The man hesitated, appraising her. âWhat do you want
with him?â
Keira sincerely replied, âI would like to hire some security personnelâ¦â
The man then asked, âWhich family are you from?â
Keira said, âThe South familyâ
âNever heard of this family! How many people are in your family? How big is your residence?â
Keira said, ââ¦Just a three-story villa.â
âThen what are you doing here?â
The man, seeing that Keira looked neatly and pretty, had engaged in more conversation, but onhearing it was just a small villa, he became irritated. âThe Freeman Sect isnât a security company. If youwant to hire bodyguards, you should at least be from the royal family of Y country, or on the level of thefive great families of Clance. Are you joking with me?â
Keira quickly said, âNo, my family might be small, but we can negotiate the priceâ¦
âWe donât take on petty tasks!â
The man huffed again, beginning to shove her away. âGo on, get lost. Donât come here to bother us forno reason⦠Weâre very busy, and we have to practice and meditate every day⦠We donât have time todawdle here with you!â
After that, the man was about to close the door.
But just then, a sports car approached from the distance, its engineâs roar preceding its arrival.
Hearing the sound of the car, the man immediately craned his neck to look and caught sight of a blueMaserati speeding toward them.
The manâs eyes lit up, âSecond Senior Brother is here! Move aside, move aside!â
He pushed Keira aside, and before the car could even
pull up, the large iron gate was already opened, and he excitedly waved to the car.
The car didnât even stop and drove straight past hin
However, the man showed no sign of being slighted, smiling and waving, âSecond Senior Brother,hello!â
Keira was speechless
Wasnât this a bit too svconhantic?
Perceiving the expression on Keiraâs face, the man immediately said proudly, âWhat do you know? Heâsour second senior brother, the most formidable among the young generation! A direct disciple of oursecond Sect Leader! Heâs from the Olsen family and is the young master of the Olsen Family!â
No sooner had these words fallen than the sports car that had driven in suddenly reversed out,stopping right at the entrance.
James jumped out of the car then and respectfully
approached Keira, âAuntie?!â
