Keira scoffed and said, “What’s the matter? Can’t do it?” @
Luke immediately shouted, “Just to get Holly off the hook, you really dare to spout any nonsense! Do you know what the Freeman Sect.is? Do you know who James is among the people who acted tonight? He is a direct lineage disciple from the Freeman Sect, the next generation Sect Leader. Do you think the Freeman Sect is just some ordinary martial arts sect you can hire with money? It’s one of the five great families of Clance!
Luke had said all this in one breath and then angrily added, “You make those tall claims without blushing or skipping a beat. If you can mobilize the Freeman Sect, I’ll eat shit standing on my head!”
No sooner had these words fallen than Keira scoffed.
James’s voice immediately followed. “Then stand on your head.”
Luke was stunned and, turning his head, saw James striding over and standing next to Keira. He then turned to Luke. “I’m the one she invited to help. So why aren’t you eating shit already? Do you need someone to give you a push? Want me to go to the bathroom and get you something warm?”
Luke was speechless.
The others didn’t know what to say either.
Luke twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling disgusted at James’s words.
He frowned immediately. “James, are you sure she invited you?”

“Indeed.”
“How is that possible?!”
Luke frowned, angrily looking at Keira. “How could a woman like her summon so many people from the Freeman Sect to do her bidding?”
After saying that, Luke gave James a once–over. “Could it be that you and she… have something going on?”
As soon as he had said, he immediately speculated. “That must be it! Well done, James. Weren’t you engaged to Kate? The Freeman Sect appointed you as the second senior brother and even decided you’d be the next head of the family precisely because you’d be à matrilocal husband to the Freeman family. I didn’t expect you, a matrilocal husband, to dare to fool around outside!”
James was perplexed.
He felt completely dumbfounded and shouted angrily, “Don’t be ridiculous! How can she and I have something going on?”
After saying that, he suddenly realized something. “Wait. She’s indeed special to me because she’s…”
Before he could finish, Luke interrupted him. “She’s what? Are you still looking for excuses? If she’s not your mistress, why would you help her like this? I heard that quite a few from the Freeman family were involved yesterday. James, how do you have the face to do this? Are you using the Freeman family’s power to help your mistress? I’m going to tell Kate right now!”
Luke had always liked Kate and wanted to court her.

Luke was one of the candidates who wanted to become a
matrilocal husband to the Freeman Sect, but unfortunately, he was defeated by James.
Now, his eyes lit up with the possibility.
If James had really cheated, Luke would still have a chance!
They could have several children if he married Kate and became a matrilocal husband to the Freeman family. The first child would bear the Freeman surname, and the others could take his surname. Wouldn’t the Freeman Sect then become part of the Dawson family?
And with the support of the Freeman family, it would be effortless for the Dawson family to replace the Sims family as the head of the Special Division!
Although old Mr. Sims had run into trouble, and Brian Dawson was temporarily acting as the director, everyone knew this was just a stand–in. If old Mr. Sims was exonerated, Brian would have to return the position, and even…
Even if old Mr. Sims was convicted, Holly and her father would still be able to take his place. After all, the Special Division was a heritage passed down through the Sims family from ancient times.
The officials would also have to consider the Sims family’s
sentiment…
So, with the help of the Freeman family, Luke and his father could take over the Special Division.
Thinking this way, Luke looked at James with increasing contempt and even took out his phone, ready to call Kate.

James looked at Luke as if the latter were a fool and said, “You don’t need to make a call.”
He turned around and motioned to Kate, who wasn’t far away. “Kate, Luke has something to tell you!”
Yesterday, to fully subdue Vera South and gain control over the Martin family, Keira had the Freeman Sect mobilize nearly all their people in Clance, which was why Kate was also here.
Having been on the Special Division side with James since early today, when Kate heard this, she scampered over, looped her arm through James’s, and looked at Luke. “What do you want to tell me? I certainly don’t have anything to say to you.”
She looked down on Luke.
Luke had courted Kate, but she wanted to avoid any appearance of impropriety lest James get the wrong idea or become jealous.
When Luke heard this, he pointed at Keira. “Kate, do you know? James keeps a mistress, and it’s her. To make his little mistress smile, he even had your Freeman Sect do her a favor yesterday. You can’t be fooled by James…”
Kate was confused.
She stared blankly at Keira for a moment, then back at Luke. “You’ve always been an idiot, but now you’ve gone blind, too?”
Luke was taken aback. “What?”
Kate scoffed and pointed at Keira. “Do you even know who she is?”
Luke said, “Who could she be? Kate, don’t listen to James’s nonsense. He’s fooling around with this woman! Otherwise, how
