James dismissively retorted, “Who else could she be?”
Suddenly, he remembered what Ellis had said to himst night. There was no need to apologize to his
elder sister-inw, just apologize to Uncle Olsen…
He had gone to look for Uncle Olsen yesterday, but before even entering the door, he was sent here to
kneel in the ancestral hall…
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 wasn’t an outsider. Could it mean…
James’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he carefully asked Uncle Olsen, “Do you know her well?”
Uncle Olsen nodded.
James immediately understood, “I see! Then,
congrattions, Uncle!”
Finally, he was going to have an aunt!
Although Keera was a bit young and looked more like Uncle Olsen’s daughter, Uncle Olsen had been
single his entire life. As he grew older, he became
increasingly lonely. Every so often, when James saw him, he felt a deep sense ofpassion and pity.
Even if Keera was younger, and even though she had been divorced and had a child, as long as she
could apany Uncle Olsen, that would be fine!
Thinking James had understood, Uncle Olsen personally helped him up and then said, “Be nicer to her
from now on.”
James immediately nodded. “Don’t worry, Uncle, I’ll definitely be very polite to her in the future!”
Uncle Olsen said, “There’s no need for that, just be a bit more affectionate. When I’m gone, you guys
must take good care of her.”
Upon hearing this, James felt extremely sad. “Uncle, don’t say that. You’re going to live a long, long life
and keep herpany! But rest assured, I will definitely b
very
dutiful to her in the future!”
Uncle Olsen was perplexed.
It’s enough ta he dutiful to him. To ha dutiful to hia
own cousin, what was that about?
However, he didn’t bother to correct him much, as James was famously academically challenged—
simple-minded and physically strong.
He patted James on the shoulder. “Alright, you can go
now.”
James nodded and walked away.
As he walked a distance, he nced back and saw Uncle Olsen standing alone in the ancestral hall,
murmuring, “Six days from now, I’ll organize a banquet to publicly announce her identity. Mom, Dad, I’ll
bring her back for you to see…”
James’s eyes teared up slightly.
Although he had never seen his grandmother, he had heard his father ramble on about how she
worried only about Uncle Olsen’s 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 Olsen’s 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, “I’d better ask my
master!”
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 wasn’t inmerce but
in
martial arts.
The Freeman family’s enterprise wasn’t called Freeman Corporation but Freeman Sect.
The Freeman Sect epassed nearly all the martial arts masters of Crera. The scions of the five
major families who wanted to practice martial arts for a strong and healthy body also basically joined
the
Freeman Sect.
James was a promising martial arts talent, noticed from a young age by the direct line of the Freeman
family, and was among the best of his generation within the sects’ disciples.
His master was the younger brother of the current Sect Leader of the Freeman family and second
Martial
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 a
young
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 nce
before they would tell her their next ns.

Now, among the five major families, the Olsen family, the Davis family, and the Allen family had been
settled 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 inmercial
ventures to the outside world, they certainly had sources of ie. 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 family’srge iron gate.
The Freeman family was located in a rather secluded area of nce, and therge iron gate emanated
an 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, he
hesitated slightly. “Miss, who are you looking for?”
Keira pondered for a moment. “I’m looking for the
head of our business affair”
f
The man hesitated, appraising her. “What do you want
with him?”
Keira sincerely replied, “I would like to hire some security personnel…”
The man then asked, “Which family are you from?”
Keira said, “The South family”
“Never heard of this family! How many people are in your family? How big is your residence?”
Keira said, “…Just a three-story vi.”
“Then what are you doing here?”
The man, seeing that Keira looked neatly and pretty, had engaged in more conversation, but on
hearing it was just a small vi, he became irritated. “The Freeman Sect isn’t a securitypany. If you
want to hire bodyguards, you should at least be from the royal family of Y country, or on the level of the
five great families of nce. Are you joking with me?”
Keira quickly said, “No, my family might be small, but we can negotiate the price…
“We don’t take on petty tasks!”

The man huffed again, beginning to shove her away. “Go on, get lost. Don’te here to bother us for
no reason… We’re very busy, and we have to practice and meditate every day… We don’t have time to
dawdle here with you!”
After that, the man was about to close the door.
But just then, a sports car approached from the distance, its engine’s roar preceding its arrival.
Hearing the sound of the car, the man immediately craned his neck to look and caught sight of a blue
Maserati speeding toward them.
The man’s eyes lit up, “Second Senior Brother is here! Move aside, move aside!”
He pushed Keira aside, and before the car could even
pull up, therge iron gate was already opened, and he excitedly waved to the car.
The car didn’t even stop and drove straight past hin
However, the man showed no sign of being slighted, smiling and waving, “Second Senior Brother,
hello!”
Keira was speechless
Wasn’t this a bit too svconhantic?
Perceiving the expression on Keira’s face, the man immediately said proudly, “What do you know? He’s
our second senior brother, the most formidable among the young generation! A direct disciple of our
second Sect Leader! He’s from the Olsen family and is the young master of the Olsen Family!”
No sooner had these words fallen than the sports car that had driven in suddenly reversed out,
stopping right at the entrance.
Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.
James jumped out of the car then and respectfully
approached Keira, “Auntie?!”
