Chapter 424
Nara struggled, her jade pendant swinging in sync with her body.
….
She looked at Matias with tears in her eyes, then stared at Jackson. She vigorously shook her head and tried to say the words, “Don’t.”
But when she opened her mouth, she couldn’t make a sound…
Seeing this, Jackson stepped forward.
Then he noticed the pendant and was momentarily taken aback.
He scoffed, then forcefully pulled the jade pendant off her neck, toying with it in his hand. “This thing looks pretty valuable! It’s definitely stolen from the main branch, right? It’s mine now!”
Having said that, he pocketed the jade pendant.
Matias immediately yelled, “Give it back to Nara! Give it back to her!”
Nara also wanted to step forward and grab it.
But alas, she was held back by the bodyguards.
Jackson chuckled mockingly. “Give it back to her? Matias, you’re just from an irrelevant branch of the Gill family, and you don’t even show a bit of respect for the direct lineage. You were always fighting me alongside that Keera. Today, I’ll make you understand the consequences of disrespecting the direct lineage!”
Leaving those words behind, he kicked Matias in the stomach and then walked straight toward Nara.
He placed a hand on Nara’s shoulder and revealed a sleazy smile.
Matias was furious and desperate but lacked the strength to rush over to protect her. He could only curse loudly. “Jackson, you bastard! She’s a member of the Gill family, practically your sister!”
Jackson sneered. “Don’t think I don’t know. Your family found her by the side of the road. She looks so exquisite, so why don’t you come and join me? I’ll consider it as compensation from you for helping Keera!”
Hearing this, Matias was both anxious and angry.
He hated his helplessness, and tears were rolling down the corners of his eyes…
Nara was trembling all over.
Jackson roughly tore her clothes, exposing her fair shoulders, and then his hand began to wander over her body.
“You bastard! You son of a bitch, let her go!”
Matias shouted furiously, crawling toward them.
Panicked, Nara tried to resist and push Jackson away, but how could her strength match Jackson’s?
Whoosh!
Her clothes were torn further!
Painful tears filled Nara’s eyes, and she took the opportunity to bite down on Jackson’s arm!
Jackson cried out in pain and pushed her away.
The others immediately took control of her arms, their gaze falling on the skin under her ripped clothes.
The weather was still a bit cold.
Nara shivered uncontrollably, not knowing whether from fear or the cold.
She stubbornly looked at Jackson, tears brimming in her eyes.
Jackson glanced at his arm, saw that blood had been drawn by the bite, and flew into a rage. He slapped Nara’s face hard!
“Smack!”
Nara’s head turned slightly, and a sharp ringing suddenly echoed in her ears.
“Jackson, let her go! Let her go!”
The sound of Matias’s painful cries was still resounding beside her as he lay on the ground, dragging his injured, bleeding leg…
Jackson, however, looked at Nara coldly with a sneer. “The girl is quite stubborn, huh? But perfect, she’s just my type! Look at this little face, pure as a lotus…”
He held Nara’s chin firmly, then leaned in and kissed her face fiercely!
But just as he was about to touch Nara, Keira’s angry shout came from the doorway. “Stop it!”
Matias hesitated slightly. When he turned back, he saw Keira had already charged up, delivering a kick straight to his back, sending him flying and crashing heavily onto the ground nearby!
Seeing this, the rest of the thugs immediately charged forward. Lewis had already arrived behind Keira, straightening his suit collar, his dark eyes staring down at those men, then one by one, he took them all down!
Keira didn’t turn around, but instead looked at Nara. Seeing her clothes torn, her gaze turned fierce as she stared at the two men holding Nara, who jumped at her look and immediately released their grip. Nara went limp, nearly collapsing to the ground!
She looked at Matias through her tears… Keira immediately took off her jacket and draped it over Nara, who clutched her hand, tears falling even faster.
Keira immediately asked, “Did he assault you?”
Nara nodded tearfully, then shook her head.
Matias immediately said, “Keira, let them go.”
But Keira didn’t listen. Instead, her eyes reddened as she turned to look at Jackson. Entering just moments ago, she had heard his words, and she now understood that Jackson’s beatings and bullying of Nara were all because of her. This man truly knew how to bully the weak and fear the strong – seeing her take a strong stance, he targeted her friend!
Keira was furious and took steps towards Jackson. She soon stood in front of him, then turned back and pointed at Nara. “Apologize to her!”
Enduring the pain, Jackson climbed up from the ground, staring at Keira with venom. “Why should I?!”
Keira reached out and grabbed his collar. “I told you to apologize!!”
Jackson, caught by her, sneered. “Keira, you sure can fight now, can’t you? But it’s useless! After all, I’m now your senior. Didn’t Lady Gill come to you today? How dare you do anything to me now?”
Keira narrowed her eyes. Nara had already rushed to Matias’s side, clutching the jacket Keira had put on her and sobbing with her head lowered.
Matias gently patted her back. Then, making an effort, he slowly stood up and said, “Keira, step aside.”
Keira didn’t move. Matias slowly walked over. “I can’t let you break the Freeman Sect’s rules because of us. You can’t hit him, but I can…”
With these words, he threw a fierce punch at Jackson’s cheek! Jackson’s cheek was struck to the side, but he just spat a mouthful of blood at him. “Matias, you don’t want to remain a disciple of the Freeman Sect?!”
“I quit!” Matias’s eyes were bloodshot, staring at him with almost complete bloodlust. “Martial arts are meant to protect loved ones. Now, bound by the sect rules, I can’t beat you even after the humiliations you’ve brought upon us. I’d rather not be an Outer Sect Disciple of the Freeman Sect!”
Having said this, he threw another punch, aiming to hit straight at Jackson’s face! But unexpectedly, a sudden excruciating pain in his leg made him unable to stand steady, his body swayed, and he slumped to the side.
Seeing this, Jackson couldn’t help but laugh. “What a waste! Matias, you’re so useless even when it comes to hitting me. You and your sister deserve to be bullied by me!”
After saying that, he turned his gaze to Keira. “Keira, what can you do to me?! Let me tell you, Matias is done for. I can walk out of here today with my head held high! You have assault charges against a fellow sect member on your back. If you dare touch me, do you believe that by tomorrow, you could be expelled from the Freeman Sect?!”
No sooner had Jackson finished his taunt than he saw Keira’s gaze turn ferocious…
