Keira was perplexed.
Even from this distance, she could feel the hostility emanating from Jas.
What was wrong with her cousin today?
He was very helpful the day before, but today he was giving her this attitude.
Keira wanted to find out why. “Is there any misunderstanding between us?”
“There’s no misunderstanding.”
Jas narrowed his eyes and stared at her intently as he spoke thodically, “Freeman Sect rules: no
rcy is to be shown in the sparring arena, so think carefully. Are you sure you want to compete?”
Seeing that he wasn’t going to explain, Keira didn’t bother to ask again and simply nodded, “Yes.”
“Good, then don’t bla for not being courteous!”
Jas turned and entered the yard, standing in the
middle of it.
Keira followed him in.
The conversation of the Outer Sect Disciples of the Freeman Sect could be heard to the side.
“Why has the second senior brother personally co today?”
“Normally, such matters are handled by the third
senior brother. This year, with the second senior brother stepping in, who could possibly withstand his
three moves?!”
“And the second senior brother looks so grim!”
“We Outer Sect Disciples already find it very difficult
to enter the Inner Sect. With the second senior
brother as the obstacle, probably lots of people will b weeded out… It looks like my hopes of getting
into the Inner Sect are dashed again this year!”
As a group of people were whispering and discussing in low voices, Jas scanned the crowd and
then said
slowly, “Alright, I know what you’re worried about. Today, I’ll go easy, trying to let all of you sign up!”
After saying this, he glanced at Keira.
Everyone but her!
Today, he was going to ensure Keera was drenched in blood right there, preferably missing the
banquet
where his third uncle would publicly announce her identity in four days’ ti!
The Outer Sect Disciples around felt a sigh of relief when they heard this.
Soone promptly stepped forward. “Second senior brother, are you really going to show rcy?”
“Yes, co on.”
After Jas said this, he beckoned the man with a
gesture.
The man imdiately stepped forward and threw a
punch at Jas, but in the next instant, he was seized
by Jas who then swiftly neutralized him with a
move.
The person was speechless.
Jas imdiately released him. “Sorry, try again. My body just reacted subconsciously…”
The man’s face lit up with joy, and he attacked once again. True to his word, Jas went easy, not
using his full strength, so the man passed the test and joyously went to sign up for the martial arts
conference.
Then ca the second and the third…
Keira was in line, waiting to spar with Jas.
It was at that mont soone tugged on her clothes from behind. Keira turned around and saw a
skinny boy standing there, excitedly saying to her, “Keera, this year we can both successfully sign up!”
Keira was perplexed.
Without a word from her, the boy lowered his voi and added, “In the past few years, both of us have
co every year, but you’ve never managed even get past the third senior brother’s single move. This
year, it’s the second senior brother, who’s so kind-hearted that he’s sure to go easy on us for three
moves, then we can sign up successfully! As long succeed in signing up, we’ll be part of those who
as u
participated in the martial arts conference, and then Jackson Gill won’t dare bully us anymore!”
Keira’s brows furrowed slightly.
C
Jackson Gill?
Who was that?
But before she could figure out what was happening, soone on the stage ahead shouted, “Next,
Matias
Gill!”
The boy behind her instantly responded, “Here!”
He gave Keira a look, “I’ll try and see if the second senior brother really will go easy as he says.”
And with that, he stepped onto the stage.
Jas indeed went easy, letting Matias pass.
Matias ca down excitedly, saying to Keira, “Keera, there’s a real chance this year!”
As he spoke, Jas on the platform suddenly sneered,
“Next, Keera South!”
By now, Keira was used to this na and promptly stepped onto the stage upon hearing the call.
Just as she steadied her stance, she saw Jas looking at her and saying, “Keera, I’ll be taking ‘good
care’ of you in a mont! Three moves. You’ve got to hold on tight!”
Keira was a little confused.
She heard intense mockery and murderous intent in
his words.
That man was actually harboring the intent to kill her?!
Keira imdiately took a step back and positioned herself seriously, determined that today she had to
give her all and not let down her master!!
Observing her ready stance, which looked quite decent, Jas scoffed. “Showpiece.”
Keera was just like that, rely a showpiece, and he couldn’t understand what his third uncle saw in
her to
be willing to openly declare his affection for her.
His third uncle might be foolish, but he certainly
wasn’t.
Showing rcy to others just monts ago was all to conserve his strength, specifically for this
mont, to openly help his third uncle get his revenge!
As Jas thought of this, he looked at Keira, then a dark smirk curled on his lips, and he moved
forward in a lunge, unleashing a flurry of punches and kicks,
intending to take her down in one move!
He could almost picture her pitiful appearance crumpling to the ground after taking his punch.
But in the next mont, Jas’s smirk froze!!
