Chapter 399: Chapter 398 Chapter 399: Chapter 398 Just as Keira Olsen was about to leave with Elder Grant, a voice came through:
“A prodigy, Elder Grant, I think you’ve gone senile, haven’t you? Have your eyes gone bad p>
The two turned their heads to see James Olsen walking over, looking at her with mocking eyes.
Elder Grant hurriedly said, “How can I be senile? I’ve been observing her for a long time, and besides, didn’t she take three moves from you p>
James Olsen sneered, “That’s because I underestimated and neglected her! Now, if we were to compete again, she wouldn’t last a single move against me p>
Keira Olsen furrowed her brows, “Then let’s have a match. If I can take five moves from you, you’ll let Elder Grant take me to meet the Sect Leader, how about that p>
She still knew nothing about her own strength.
James Olsen chuckled scornfully, “I won’t compete with you, but you can’t go either. Elder Grant, Inner Sect Disciples must undergo strict scrutiny, and there should be a very picky selection of their character. I can tell you now, this Keera, she’s not of good character p>
Elder Grant was startled, “Ah? Where is her character not good p>
“Everywhere p>
James Olsen glared at Keira Olsen viciously, “Two-timing without remorse, Keera, someone like you doesn’t deserve to enter the Inner Sect with me. Elder Grant, she and I are archenemies, you handle it p>
Leaving those words behind, James Olsen strode away.
Elder Grant’s face immediately showed a troubled expression, and he anxiously glanced at Keira Olsen, “Keera, it’s bad enough you’ve provoked Xu, but why did you provoke this defiant figure? His elder brother is a well-known scoundrel in Clance, and he’s infamous as a devil in the Freeman Sect. Also, he’s the second disciple under the senior sister; if you’ve offended him, how can the Inner Sect possibly accept you p>
For the sake of harmony within the Freeman Sect, Inner Sect Disciples were absolutely not recruited from the mortal enemies of other Inner Sect Disciples.
So as to avoid conflicts between them.
Elder Grant frowned, “Your strength has increased now and you want to enter the Inner Sect, hurry up and apologize to the second disciple to ease the relationship. By the way, how did you offend him p>
Keira Olsen couldn’t help but feel a mix of laughter and tears upon hearing this.
Was it not because James Olsen mistakenly assumed something about her identity!
Keira Olsen couldn’t be bothered to explain and directly said to Elder Grant, “The Olsen Family has a family reunion banquet in three days. After the family reunion, our misunderstanding will be resolved p>
Elder Grant nodded, “Alright then, I’ll take you to see the Sect Leader after you’ve cleared up your misunderstanding p>
“Thank you very much,” Keira Olsen replied with a humble attitude.
Elder Grant then spoke with a heavy heart, “Young people shouldn’t have conflicts, aim for harmony p>
Keira Olsen won today’s competition, and the next match just happened to be in three days, which was after the family reunion.
So, as she left the Freeman Sect, she saw Lewis Horton’s car parked there.
She walked over, got straight into the car, and went home with Lewis Horton.
As soon as her car left the Freeman Sect, an infuriated James Olsen appeared at the entrance of the sect. He angrily stared in the direction Keira Olsen had left, feeling that this woman was utterly lawless!
Was she so certain that Uncle Olsen would indulge her unconditionally p>
James Olsen immediately took out his phone and initiated a voice call in the family WhatsApp group.
In the family group, there were only seven men.
Ellis Olsen did not know what he was doing and did not pick up the voice call.
But this did not stop the remaining six from strengthening their brotherly bonds.
After all, the eldest brother was always busy preparing to inherit the Olsen Family, unlike the carefree lives of the other six brothers.
The voice call was quickly answered.
Charles Olsen’s voice came through, “Third brother, how are you p>
James Olsen sneered, “This Keera is flirting with others in the Freeman Sect, and in today’s martial arts tournament, her opponents were going easy on her p>
Charles Olsen, “…Such a flirtatious woman, why would Uncle be interested in her p>
A few more voices joined in:
“What the hell? I’m abroad and I received the family reunion invitation. I was wondering whose family we were recognizing. So, are we acknowledging a new aunt p>
“Uncle Olsen is eyeing a woman named Keera? What kind of name is that? What’s up with her p>
Ellis Olsen shared everything as he saw it over the phone. After he finished, there was a moment of silence before someone finally spoke:
“You really couldn’t tell, but Uncle Olsen turned out to be quite the romantic p>
“Are the romances of the elderly really so irrational and impulsive p>
“Why is Uncle Olsen acting so demeaningly? I’m getting a bit angry here p>
One by one, the group exchanged words, growing angrier with each remark.
Seeing them angry calmed Ellis down. It’s better to be angry with the support of others. Now, he felt at peace.
Then he said, “Brothers, at the family reunion banquet, should we refuse to acknowledge this person p>
“Sure, I’ll definitely rush back for it. If Uncle introduces her to me, I’ll make it clear I won’t recognize this ‘aunt p>
“…I thought our family reunion banquet was to welcome back a long-lost cousin or something, turns out it’s all about this ‘aunt p>
“What were you thinking about? A cousin? We obviously lack the ‘daughter-producing gene’ in our family, right? Seven brothers, like the legendary Calabash Brothers, all born from the first and second branches of the family, and not a single girl! It’s a good thing we adopted two; otherwise, the gender balance at home would be really off p>
“Sure, but adopted ones aren’t quite the same as a real cousin. Do you think my mom could have another child at forty-five p>
“Little brother, that’s very respectful of you p>
The conversation veered off course as they talked.
As time slipped by unnoticed.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed!
The Olsen family’s reunion banquet was the talk of the town in Clance. Everyone who was anyone was there. Guests arrived, somewhat mystified, unsure of what the Olsens were up to.
Lewis Horton drove Keira Olsen and Mary Davis to attend the family reunion.
Although Mary didn’t want to run into Ellis, this was her best friend’s reunion banquet, and she had to witness it.
The two got out of the car and walked towards the banquet.
Upon approaching, they saw seven men standing in front, each with a distinct personality, yet all looking dashing and formidable – the seven Olsen brothers.
When Ellis caught sight of Mary Davis, his eyes went cold, and he turned his head, not speaking.
Mary also immediately looked down.
Inside her, the child was almost three months along… and there was now a slight bulge in her belly…
She pretended not to see Ellis and walked past the seven men with Keira.
Victoria Olsen was the only Olsen girl and was also there welcoming guests. Seeing Keira, she immediately looked anxiously towards her seven brothers.
She was afraid they might like this cousin more than her.
But, to her surprise, she saw that apart from Ellis, the six others were glaring at Keira, their faces all but screaming “Don’t mess with me p>
Victoria was shocked.
Weren’t these seven brothers all longing for a sister?
Why did it seem like they were less than pleased with Keera?
That was good!
What she feared most was that the cousin’s return would make the brothers biased!
Now that everyone seemed to prefer her, that was great p>
A smug smile appeared on her lips.
Keera, even if you are a real cousin, what of it? I’m the one who grew up with the brothers!
And you, in front of the brothers, are nothing!
Just as Victoria was thinking this, Uncle Olsen’s voice came from the hall, followed by everyone asking, “Uncle Olsen, the reunion is to recognize family, but what sort of family are we recognizing p>
