Chapter 380: Chapter 379 Chapter 380: Chapter 379 Kiera Olsen: p>
She stepped back and asked James Olsen, “What did you just call me p>
James Olsen hesitated briefly.
Recalling that his uncle had a penchant for younger women and the mysterious upcoming banquet not being elaborately organized, he immediately cleared his throat, stepped forward, and said, “I know about your relationship with my uncle, um, it’s fine if you don’t want me to call you affectionately in public p>
Kiera Olsen: p>
She still hadn’t figured out the relationships when she saw James Olsen turning to the gatekeeper, “This is an elder from my family… Ah, wait, she’s a friend of mine. Be polite to her from now on p>
The gatekeeper immediately clasped his hands and bowed, “Second Senior Brother, understood p>
Then, turning to Kiera Olsen, he clasped his hands, “I apologize, young lady. If you had said earlier that you knew Second Senior Brother, I would have let you in right away. But we from Freeman Sect really don’t take miscellaneous tasks p>
It was only then that James Olsen turned to Kiera Olsen, “What miscellaneous tasks p>
Kiera Olsen coughed, “I want to cooperate with the Freeman Sect p>
“Cooperate p>
James Olsen looked puzzled.
The gatekeeper immediately laughed, “Miss, what you’re suggesting is just a one-off deal, not really cooperation. Even if we consider Second Senior Brother’s position, we might send a few people to protect you at most, which could perhaps be considered a hiring relationship p>
Kiera Olsen paused upon hearing this, “Then what counts as cooperation p>
James Olsen explained, “The Freeman Sect actually doesn’t accept cooperation with anyone. They just hone their own martial arts. If you must talk about a cooperative relationship, you’d have to join the Freeman Sect and become an Inner Sect Disciple, then it could be considered cooperation, I guess p>
Kiera Olsen: p>
Is this how a martial arts family understands cooperation?
She had thought it would be like the Davis Family and the Olsen Family–finding a project to make money together was supposedly cooperation.
She pondered for a moment and looked at James Olsen again, “Then how can I join the Freeman Sect and become an Inner Sect Disciple p>
This question somewhat exasperated James Olsen.
He coughed and lifted his chin slightly, “Actually, becoming an Inner Sect Disciple is quite difficult. Beyond effort, it mainly depends on innate talent. Those of us who want to practice martial arts are usually sent to the Freeman Sect for a Bone Assessment at around the age of three or four. Only those with exceptional potential are taken in as Inner Sect Disciples p>
James Olsen patted his chest confidently, “Out of the seven brothers in our Olsen family, not even my eldest brother was selected, only I was chosen p>
Kiera Olsen: …Who’s ‘we’ with you.
But…
If the Freeman Sect only accepts children, she certainly can’t turn herself into a three or four-year-old, could she? What to do now?
She first thought of Amy.
But that wouldn’t work.
Amy was too gentle in character and not cut out for martial arts; her bones were too delicate and soft, though she was good at dancing.
Kiera Olsen felt troubled, “Hasn’t there ever been anyone older who was chosen p>
“Of course p>
James Olsen spoke up, “Our eldest senior sister was spotted by the Sect Leader when she was just fifteen p>
Speaking of the eldest senior sister, the gatekeeper got excited as well, “Yes, our Sect Leader said that the eldest senior sister has extraordinary talents. Although she was fifteen, she was especially tough, seemingly because she had been beaten up since she was a child, which actually forged her into having a body as solid as iron walls, very impressive. She’s the standout in our generation. Unfortunately, the Sect Leader has been secretly training her, and we’ve never seen what the eldest senior sister looks like p>
Speaking of this eldest senior sister, James Olsen appeared to look forward to meeting her, “The Sect Leader said he plans to have the eldest senior sister visit the Freeman Sect when she turns 23 to give us some guidance. Judging from the time, it should be soon p>
The gatekeeper instantly got excited, “Second senior brother, you’ve almost defeated all your adversaries in the Freeman Sect. When the eldest senior sister comes, the two of you should spar! Let’s see who is more formidable p>
With that said, James Olsen slapped him on the head, “What are you talking about? How can I compare with the eldest senior sister? The Sect Leader said she became a disciple at fifteen and completed her training at eighteen. When she was twenty, she barely won against the Sect Leader by half a move! Right now, I can’t even defeat the Sect Leader, how can I compare with the eldest senior sister? Don’t cause animosity for me; I know my place p>
The gatekeeper chuckled.
Kiera Olsen couldn’t help but interrupt as the two chatted enthusiastically, “Actually, my physique isn’t bad either; I’ve been able to take a beating since I was a kid. Can you take me to see your Sect Leader p>
As soon as she said this, the gatekeeper and James Olsen fell silent.
Both of them looked towards Kiera Olsen simultaneously, twitching their lips, seemingly thinking she had just made a joke.
The gatekeeper glanced at James Olsen and coughed, saying, “Not to discourage you, but you’re over twenty this year, right? No matter how strong a person is, at that age, your bones have hardened; if you haven’t laid the foundation properly, it won’t do. The story of the eldest senior sister is legendary; she could still train in martial arts at fifteen because she grew up without enough to eat or warm clothes, so her body hadn’t fully developed yet p>
Kiera Olsen explained, “…But I also started training in martial arts when I was fifteen, who knows what could happen p>
Back then, when she had just started middle school at fourteen, she left the Olsen Family. Afterwards, she worked to earn money and met a martial arts master of her own.
At that time, she was selling balloons in the park, reading a book while selling, and a middle-aged man kept staring at her. Then, he approached her and said,
“Little girl, I see you have extraordinary bones and a talent for martial arts. Why don’t you take me as your master p>
At the time, Kiera Olsen almost called the police, accusing him of harassment, until eventually, he agreed to pay her five hundred yuan if she trained with him in martial arts for an hour each day, and she reluctantly agreed.
Like this, she trained with him for four or five years, and later her master said he wanted to travel the world and told her to keep practicing on her own until an appropriate opportunity to find her again arose.
Come to think of it, it had been two years since she last saw her master.
Even when the master left, she hadn’t even asked his name…
Kiera Olsen then looked at James Olsen, “Just take me to see him, whether it works out or not, we’ll see after meeting p>
James Olsen wanted to refuse.
But then he remembered what his third uncle had advised him that morning, to always respect his third aunt, so he twitched his lips, “Alright then, come with me inside p>
James Olsen threw his car keys to the gatekeeper and walked in with Kiera Olsen.
The Freeman Sect was spacious; as soon as they entered, they saw practitioners of martial arts everywhere, their continuous shouts and grunts echoing, brimming with masculine energy.
After following James Olsen for about half an hour, they finally arrived in front of a bungalow. He said, “The Sect Leader is meditating inside, I’ll go call him p>
Inside the room.
At this moment, Sect Leader Trevor Freeman was crying his eyes out, looking at a photo on his phone with his disciple Kiera Olsen, sobbing uncontrollably.
His whole life, being so selective, he had only taken in this one disciple, yet how could she have drowned so young p>
Just then, he heard James Olsen’s voice outside, “Sect Leader, I’ve brought someone to meet you, would that be alright p>
