Chapter 381
James dismissively retorted, “Who else could she be?”
….
Suddenly, he remembered what Ellis had said to him last night. There was no need to apologize to Mary; just apologize to Uncle Olsen…
James went to see Uncle Olsen last night, 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, congratulations, 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 of compassion and pity.
Even if Keera was younger, and even though she had been divorced and had a child, as long as she could keep Uncle Olsen company, that would be fine!
Thinking James had understood what he meant, 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 her company! But rest assured, I will definitely be very dutiful to her in the future!”
Uncle Olsen was perplexed.
Yes, James should be dutiful to him, his third uncle. To be dutiful to his own cousin, what was that about?
However, he didn’t bother to correct James, as James was famously academically challenged—he was simple-minded and physically strong.
He patted James on the shoulder. “Alright, you can go now.”
James nodded and walked away.
After he was a short distance away, he glanced 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 welcome 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 in commerce but in martial arts.
The Freeman family’s enterprise wasn’t called Freeman Corporation but Freeman Sect.
The Freeman Sect encompassed 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 almost all joined the Freeman Sect.
James was a promising martial arts talent. He was 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. Get the latest chapters on novelbin.com
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 Freeman Sect or to pay respects to someone as her master. She already had her own master in martial arts.
The mysterious South family had requested her cooperation with the five great families of Clance before they would tell her their next plans.
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 many disciples, and while they never engaged in commercial ventures with 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 family’s large iron gate.
The Freeman family was located in a rather secluded area of Clance, and the large 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 came 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 your business affairs.”
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 villa.”
“Then what are you doing here?”
The man, seeing that Keira looked neat and pretty, engaged in more conversation, but on hearing it was just a small villa, he became irritated. “The Freeman Sect isn’t a security company. 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 Clance. 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’t come 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, the large iron gate was already opened, and he excitedly waved to the car.
The car didn’t even stop and drove straight past him.
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 sycophantic?
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.
James jumped out of the car then and respectfully approached Keira, “Auntie?!”
