The next moment, Keira’s foot slammed viciously into his groin!!

“Bang!”

Everyone seemed to hear a faint sound of something shattering, and then Jackson turned pale in an instant. He looked down incredulously and saw a trail of blood at his crotch…

Jackson was stupefied.

A surge of excruciating pain hit him, and he only felt darkness before his eyes, as he passed out from the pain!

“Mr. Gill!”

The thugs beside him couldn’t help but exclaim in shock as they rushed to Jackson’s side, and then turned to Keira with a vicious glare, cursing, “You just wait, Gill family will not let this go!!”

Leaving those words behind, they quickly lifted Jackson up and hurriedly left the place!

The courtyard still retained the chaos of the recent scuffle, and only after they had gone did it finally quiet down.

Keira’s brow furrowed slightly when she heard Matias’s panicked voice. “Keera, you, how could you…”

Keira looked at him indifferently. “What about it?”

Matias heaved a sigh. “Forget it, if the Freeman Sect starts investigating, just say it was me who kicked him! Don’t admit it no matter what, otherwise, you’ll really lose the chance to join the Inner Sect!”

Keira sighed. “It’s fine.”

“What do you mean ‘it’s fine’?!” Matias was completely frantic. “Your lifelong dream has been to join the Inner Sect. How much hardship have you endured over these years for this? Jackson saw your ambitions, that’s why he has been bullying you! How could you be so impulsive for us…?”

Impulsive?

Keira wasn’t impulsive.

Upon entering and seeing Nara’s state, she was indeed angry, but more than that, she was infuriated by the past humiliations her sister suffered at the hands of Jackson!

Seeing Nara, it was as if she was looking at her sister back in the past!

Hadn’t her sister, before this day, suffered the same fate time and time again?

Otherwise, how could Jackson have made those remarks?

So in her fury, she struck him.

Now, she had no regrets. With the Sect Leader there, she couldn’t possibly get into trouble!

But Matias couldn’t understand her reasoning and continued to plead earnestly. “Remember what I said, go to the Freeman Sect now and accuse me of assaulting Jackson. When the time comes, I’ll insist that it was me and take all the blame upon myself!”

Keira, however, didn’t move.

Instead, Lewis stepped forward.

Upon seeing him, Matias immediately recognized him as Keera’s newly taken gigolo and said, “Talk to her!”

Lewis came over to Keira and said. “As a woman, how could you kick a man there?”

Keira raised an eyebrow.

Matias also took a deep breath. “I’m not saying you can’t hit him, anything else is open to discussion, but that part is clearly… if it’s damaged, our feud with the Gill family will truly escalate!”

Lewis nodded. “Next time you want to do something like that, let me do it.”

Matias was dumbfounded.

He looked incredulously at Lewis, his mouth twitching, about to say something, but Keira asked, “Why?”

Lewis just curled his lips. “It’s quite filthy.”

Then he looked down and took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped the bloodstain on the leather boots she was wearing today.

After wiping it off, he took a deep breath as if still disgusted and then looked back at Matias. “Do you have any water?”

Matias was confused. His mouth twitched, but Nara had already snapped out of her shock. She immediately nodded. She then took a basin and entered the room, returning shortly with some water. She handed the water to Lewis.

Lewis took out his handkerchief, dipped it in the water, and once again carefully wiped Keira’s boots clean. Keira felt like her black leather boots were about to be polished white! Only then did he let go, still frowning in dissatisfaction.

Keira didn’t know what to say. She pursed her lips, unable to help but pat him lightly. “That’s enough!” Lewis finally stopped his motions.

Keira immediately looked at Matias. “You were deliberately hurt by Jackson. Why didn’t you report it to the Freeman Sect?”

Matias sighed. “It’s no use. Jackson is from the direct lineage of the Gill family. Not to mention how the Freeman Sect would handle it, even the Gill family itself would send people to suppress this issue.”

He hung his head in disappointment. “He’s from the second branch and colludes with Austin from the first branch. Lady Gill loves her third son the most, and as a result, she has always been biased toward Jackson, so his status is very high within the family.”

Keira interrupted, “Don’t mention what you just said. Never mind the fact that so many people saw earlier, but considering your injury, how could you have kicked him? With your uninjured leg or your injured one?”

Matias was speechless.

Keira patted his shoulder and then turned to look at Nara. After a moment, she slowly said, “The Freeman Sect has wronged you, and about that sect rule, I’ll suggest to the Sect Leader to change it.”

If she wasn’t the senior sister, that would be one thing, but now being in that position, she felt a sense of belonging to the sect, and so, of course, any unreasonable rules needed to be amended.

Matias’s mouth twitched again. “Keira, when did you start to boast? You don’t need to comfort me… Mainly it’s about your wish to enter the Inner Sect. If you can let go and not join, it’s okay with me…”

Keira looked again at Nara, observing the barren state of the home, and couldn’t help but sigh. She took out a stack of money and handed it to her. “Take this money.”

Nara immediately waved her hand away and then reached out to grab the paper and pen. However, upon touching her neck, she suddenly realized that her jade pendant, which had been snatched by Jackson, hadn’t been returned yet!

Nara panicked instantly. Her brother had said that she had been wearing that jade pendant when they found her, which might be related to her background. If it were lost, wouldn’t she be unable to find her biological parents in the future?

Nara’s eyes reddened in an instant. Keira frowned, asking, “What’s wrong?”

Meanwhile, at the Gill family residence, Austin had been beaten so badly that his face was swollen and bruised. Feeling humiliated, he had been staying at home for a few days. At this moment, Lady Gill hurried in from outside.

Seeing this, Austin couldn’t help but straighten up. “Mom, what’s the rush? Is there news about my sister?”

As he mentioned his sister, Lady Gill’s footsteps faltered slightly. A hint of sadness emerged in both of their eyes…

Lady Gill said, “It’s news about your sister. We located the human traffickers from back then. They said that when your sister was captured, she came down with a fever. Fearing she would infect the other children, they dumped her in Clance!”
