Keira’s pupils shrank. “What nonsense are you spouting?!”
Jackson sneered, “How am I spouting nonsense? It’s all true. Everyone knows that to beco an Inner
Sect Disciple, you’ve almost gone mad. It was you who ca to my bed and offered yourself. I took pity
on you and slept with you, and now what? You’ve passed the preliminary selection of the martial arts
competition and found another way, so you plan on kicking to
the curb?”
People who had co to fetch things imdiately stood by to watch the commotion, pointing and
whispering about Keira.
“Keera looks quite timid, but I didn’t expect her to be this sort of person…”
“You can’t judge a book by its cover, can you? Anyone who offers themselves up can’t be a good
person.”
As the Outer Sect Disciples pointed and whispered
about her, Matias rushed over and angrily said, “Don’t talk nonsense! Keera isn’t that sort of person. It
was Jackson who constantly pressured her to submit. She disagreed, otherwise, she wouldn’t have
been missing these past two months!”
The crowd was montarily stunned, then turned to look at Jackson.
Jackson scoffed. “Why hasn’t she co over these past two months? Of course, it’s because after I
slept with her, I couldn’t secure her an Inner Sect Disciple spot. If I had a spot, wouldn’t I use it myself?
This woman really thinks the Gill family can do anything! Is the Freeman Sect a place where we can
ss around as
we please?”
Matias’s face turned ashen with anger. “Jackson, don’t tarnish Keera’s reputation here. Previously, it
was clearly you kept pursuing her unsuccessfully, giving her all kinds of difficulties, getting her to do
this and that, and even reporting to the Elders that she was slacking and not practicing martial arts,
causing her to make no progress over the years!”
Jackson scoffed. “Matias, who do you think you are? You’re part of a collateral line, but you’re pointing
fingers at here? Do you believe that with just one word, I can make your family disappear from
Clance?” Matias scoffed. “You think I’m afraid of you?”
“You’re not afraid, but do you think your grandmother
would be?”
Matias choked.
Jackson sneered once again, turning his attention back to Keera. “Of course, I’m a rather sentintal
person. Since you’ve slept with , I’ll certainly protect you. Keera, continue to co to my room
tonight, otherwise, I’ll report to the higher-ups that your two-month absence counts as an automatic
resignation from the Freeman Sect!”
Keira sneered.
Yet Matias was already furious to the extre. “If she hasn’t reported in, isn’t it because you forced
her? Jackson, you’ve gone too far!”
Jackson scoffed. “Freeman Sect rules state that an
Outer Sect Disciple who doesn’t report in for a month is considered to have left automatically. I’m just
following the rules. What about it?!”
Keira spoke slowly, “Really? According to Freeman Sect rules, are the words of you, an outer manager,
more important, or those of the Elders more important?”
Jackson was taken aback. “What do you an? You think the Inner Sect Elders would speak for you?”
Keira imdiately said, “I ca for a Bone Assessnt yesterday, and it was Elder Grant who allowed
to participate in the Outer Sect martial arts competition. What now? Are your words more powerful
than Elder Grant’s?”
Jackson choked. “You went for a Bone Assessnt again? What could you possibly find out?”
“What I found out has nothing to do with you.”
Keira took step by step toward Jackson, her face cold as she stared at him, causing his scalp to tingle.
He had never known that the weak woman who only begged him for rcy had this side to her.
He swallowed hard but still said, “What do you want
to make clear? How you plead under ? Or how loudly you were moaning?”
Keira grabbed his collar in one swift move.
Jackson reached out to push her away, but the arms of the woman, who had always seed weak and
easily bullied by him, now felt as solid as bronze walls and iron bones, rendering him unable to break
free.
Keira stared at him intently. “Explain.”
Jackson swallowed hard, then cursed angrily, “Keera, what are you doing? Assaulting a superior is
grounds for expulsion from the Freeman Sect! Even if Elder Grant vouched for you and let you
participate in the martial arts competition, you can’t lay hands on !”
Keira kept her stare fixed on him.
She had thoroughly morized the Freeman Sect’s rules yesterday.
Indeed, assaulting soone of a higher rank would result in imdiate expulsion, but Keera’s
grievances couldn’t just be acknowledged like this!
A fierce light flashed in Keira’s eyes, and then she slowly released Jackson’s hand she had been
holding. But just as Jackson scoffed, she suddenly clutched his
throat!
Her fingers were well-defined, and when she clutched
his throat it made lookson imdiately faol short of

breath, unable to breathe.
His eyes bulged, and both hands fiercely clutched Keira’s hand, trying to push her away, but he found
he couldn’t muster any strength!
Jackson struggled desperately.
Keira continued to stare at him intently. “Speak. What ‘s your relation to Keera?”
Jackson slapped at her hands, struggling to speak, but no words ca out. The feeling of death crept
over him, making him panic.
Seeing the threat in Keira’s eyes, he knew that if he didn’t clear her na, he might actually be choked
to death right there today!
He slapped Keira’s hand again…
Keira watched him closely until Jackson stuck out his tongue, then she finally let go.
Gosh…
Jackson coughed in fear, gasping for air, his eyes
tearing up in fright as he said, “How can I speak if you don’t let go?!”
Keira’s expression darkened.
Jackson quickly covered his Alright, alright, I’ll
say it. Keera never seduced .
between us!”
Keira scoffed. “Louder!”
Jackson didn’t want to speak.
There’s nothing
Keira took a step forward again, forcing Jackson to shout, “Fine! I’ll say it! Keera never seduced !
There’s nothing between Keera and ! Are you
satisfied now?”
Only then did Keira take a step back.
Once she left, Jackson clenched his fists tightly. “Keera, how dare you show such insubordination? I’m
going right to the Disciplinary Hall to tell the Elders, to seek justice from them!”
At the sa ti.
Elder Grant stroked his beard, standing outside the Sect Leader’s room. After hesitating for a mont,
he finally knocked on the door.
The Sect Leader was in good spirits today, his eyes
swollen to slits.
Seeing Elder Grant, he asked, “Elder Grant, what brings you here?”
Elder Grant looked at his appearance, twitched the corner of his mouth, and then said, “Yesterday,
during the Bone Assessnt, I found a remarkable woman. She seems to have so similarities to the
senior sister you once ntioned, so I wanted to inquire
about it.”
