power.

A smile was on his face as he met the punch.

“Bang!”

Keira’s fist collided with Chris’s palm.

The next moment…

His expression changed.

This punch was so ferocious that it actually made him feel threatened.

He instinctively used all his strength, but to his surprise, even then, he was still forced back one step, two steps… five steps!

That…

Chris was dumbfounded.

He looked at his own palm, then raised his head to

look at Keira, and his expression immediately became joyful. He took a step forward and said, “You…”

Before he could finish, someone rushed in from outside. “Second Elder, something’s wrong!”

Chris frowned and looked over. “What happened?”

It was an Inner Sect Disciple, ranking fairly low. “People from the Gill family have come, and now they’re causing a fuss at the Disciplinary Hall, they’re saying, saying…”

Chris asked, “Saying what?”

“They say the Freeman Sect allowed an Outer Sect

Disciple to fight and brawl outside, and that they beat up Austin!”

After that, the person glanced at Keira.

Chris didn’t understand what was going on and immediately asked. “Austin? That Gill family’s third young master who only knows how to idle around? If it was an Outer Sect Disciple that beat him, then just deal with it according to the sect’s rules. What’s so bad about that?”

The disciple gave a wry smile and looked at James and

Keira. “But, the person who beat him up was Keera!”

“What?”

Chris now understood and looked at Keira. “It was you

who beat him?”

Keira nodded. “Yes, I did.”

It was about Mary’s incident, where he himself was spreading rumors outside. If she didn’t drag him out and deal with it at its root, the rumors outside would

never cease.

Austin also had a vicious streak, and no matter how Keira beat him, he wouldn’t yield.

Therefore, her attack was a bit more severe.

It wasn’t until Lewis personally intervened, and it was unclear what he did, that Austin finally gave in and was willing to admit his mistake.

Now, why were they making trouble again?

Keira’s face darkened. “He slandered my friend Mary… who now, to reckon, is also my sister-in-law,

practically family. The Freeman Sect’s rules don’t stipulate that you can’t fight back when bullied by outsiders, do they?”

O

This statement made Chris chuckle wryly. He nodded. “Right, there isn’t such a rule.”

Keira looked at him. “Being bullied doesn’t just refer to physical abuse, it also includes being the subject of

dirty rumors and such. The things he did a few days ago are known throughout Clance, and the files on the internet are still there. His phone contains all the evidence. So, was I wrong to beat him?”

Chris didn’t know what to say.

Keira’s arguments were clear and correct.

But the problem was…

Chris sighed, “If it were an outsider, a beating by a Freeman Sect disciple wouldn’t be an issue, but you might not know that he’s the nominal disciple of my fifth junior brother!”

Upon hearing this, Keira was stunned, “What?”

Chris couldn’t help but sigh. “In Clance, the four other families among the five major families send at least one person to learn martial arts at the Freeman Sect each generation. Out of respect for the ties between the five major families, we generally choose an outstanding

ranrogantative from the other four

families for a marriage alliance. Your third brother is a

martial arts prodigy, and I took him as an Inner Sect Disciple, which is one type of person, while there’s another type. If a generation lacks a suitable candidate for martial arts training, to save their dignity, they would select someone from the Direct Lineage as a nominal disciple.”

He sighed, “Austin is the nominal disciple of your fifth master uncle! The Freeman Sect has a rule that, except during martial arts competitions, one must not strike their elders. Being a nominal disciple of your fifth master uncle, he is your senior brother, so by hitting your senior brother, you are in the wrong.”

Keira didn’t know what to say.

Was it that casual to take on disciples in the Freeman

Sect?

James, who was standing nearby, couldn’t help but say, “Master, even if that’s the case, after today, my sister will be your nominal disciple as well, and her status will be higher than his, right? Then this matter should be resolved, shouldn’t it?”

Chris shook his head. “The Freeman Sect is very strict

about taking on disciples. All the disciples we have taken are on record. Even if I verbally agreed, it’s not yet on record, so she’s not considered an Inner Sect Disciple…”

There was a hierarchy among the Freeman Sect disciples.

The lowest were the Outer Sect Disciples, followed by nominal disciples and Inner Sect Disciples.

Nominal disciples and Inner Sect Disciples had equivalent status, but everyone understood that the Inner Sect Disciples were the foundation of the

Freeman Sect.

No matter what, Keira attacking Austin was already a

violation of the Freeman Sect rules.

Unless she had been an Inner Sect Disciple all along, and her apprenticeship started even before Austin’s…

But that clearly wasn’t possible!

Immediately, James frowned

Kate said, “We can’t just hand Keera over! James, just say it was you who did it!”

James immediately nodded. “Keera, just say how you

hit him that day. Later, I’ll claim it was all my doing. As the second senior brother, it’s only natural for me to reprimand a junior brother, isn’t it?”

Keira pulled a wry face. “But that day, I hit him fair and

square.”

She and Lewis stormed into the club, dragged the man out, and there should’ve been surveillance.

James said, “Anyway, we look so much alike, we can just say I dressed up as a woman to do it!”

Everyone was speechless.

All eyes moved from Keira’s face to James’s face.

Then, disdainfully, they looked away.

How could these two faces possibly be mistaken for

each other?

Just as Keira was about to say something, a commanding voice came from outside. “Is this how the Freeman Sect plans to brush off our Gill family?”

The group turned around and saw a middle-aged woman stride in.

With a bruised and swollen nose, Austin followed her

inside, dark-faced. Seeing Keira, his eyes immediately turned vicious as if he were ready to pounce in the next second.

Pointing at Keira, he said to the middle-aged woman, “Mom, it was her who beat me! And she almost

destroyed me. If you can’t have your grandson in the future, it’s all her fault!”

Lady Gill immediately turned to Keira. “Was it you who attacked my son?!”

Then she turned to Chris, her manner fierce. “Chris, do you plan on protecting this Outer Sect Disciple? The Freeman Sect has always been known for its strict rules. Now, are you disregarding not only your own reputation but also the Freeman Sect’s?”

After saying this, she scoffed and then looked outside. “Where is your Sect Leader? Get him here

immediately; I demand an explanation today!”
