Chapter
Luke wanted to say something, but Kate interrupted him. “Just shut up, will you? Before you try to sow discord, find out who
you’re dealing with, okay?”
After that, she looked at James, “How could I have been so blind to
have known such a brainless fool?”
James patted her shoulder. “Just be smarter in the future.”
Furious, Luke asked, “What are you talking about? Kate, has James deceived you?”
Kate twitched the corner of her mouth. “Come here, let me introduce you to someone. This is Keira Olsen. She’s James’s cousin and Uncle Olsen’s biological daughter!” 5
Upon hearing that, Luke was stunned, and he looked at Kate incredulously, “What did you say?”
Kate scoffed. “I said, she’s James’s cousin!”
Luke looked blankly at Keira and then back at James.
James tilted his head, pointing to Keira. “Can’t you see? We look so much alike!”
Luke didn’t know what to say.
One had a tanned and ruddy face, while the other was slender and delicate; how could they possibly look alike?!
However…
Luke continued. “Even if that’s the case, does that mean the
15:11
Freeman Sect is occupied with James‘ private affairs? He hasn’t even taken over the Freeman Sect yet, and he is treating it like his own personal clan. The Freeman Sect can’t meddle in the affairs of the other four major families. Even if James were to marry into another family, he couldn’t use the Freeman Sect to help the Olsen family with their business!”
He turned to Kate. “Don’t be fooled by him!”
Kate twitched the corner of her mouth again, “You don’t give up until you’re at wit’s end. Prick up your e and I’ll spell it out for you! Keera is…”

She pointed at Keira and was about to speak.
Luke followed Kate’s finger, looking at Keira.
His pupils began to shrink.
But the next moment, he heard Keira interrupt Kate. “That’s
correct. I’m also an Inner Sect Disciple of the Freeman sect, and that means I hold a position within the Special Division. Be it my presence here, the interrogation of a criminal, or the Freeman Sect’s action last night, all of it is justified and legitimate!”
Keira stepped forward, shielding Holly. She then looked at Luke and Brian. “Gentlemen, do you have any other objections?”
Luke was startled. “You’re an Inner Sect Disciple? Why haven’t I
heard about it?”
Keira lowered her gaze. “I was recently promoted from the Outer Sect to the Inner Sect. Does the Freeman Sect have to report every single personnel change to you first?”
She addressed Brian. “The Freeman Sect and the Special Division aren’t in the same ranking system, right? If I remember correctly, we’re on equal footing, and we have no obligation to report to you!”
The Freeman Sect could inform the Special Division about its personnel changes, but there was no obligation, and the notice was only to facilitate cooperation between the two. Thus, such a requirement existed.
If it weren’t for the sake of collaboration, the Freeman Sect
wouldn’t even need to report to the Specia
ivision.
As the Freeman Sect was an integral part of the Special Division, Brian, wishing for a smooth transition and control of the Special Division, had to maintain a good relationship with the Freeman
Sect.
Therefore, upon hearing this, he immediately waved his hand with a smile. “How could that be possible? Miss Olsen is joking, of course. This was all a misunderstanding. I’ll make Luke apologize to everyone right now!”
After that, he gave Luke a stern look.
Although Luke was reluctant, he still took a deep breath and said begrudgingly, “Sorry, it was my fault, but you shouldn’t have snatched people secretly, making it seem like we’re thieves…”
Brian immediately glared at him and said, “Alright, let’s put this matter to rest. Mr. Sims was just taken away, and the Special Division is also swamped with work. I have some things to handle, so I’ll take my leave.”
Having said that, he dragged Luke away.
Keira paid him no mind.
After they had left, Kate and James looked at Keira, puzzled,
“Keera, why didn’t you reveal your identity as the senior sister just
now?”
Keira was about to explain when Holly said, “The senior sister’s identity is too prestigious; how could it be reveal so easily? Alright, don’t talk too much; she has her reasons.”
Kate and James were both simple–minded individuals, so they immediately nodded in agreement. “Okay, then we’ll get back to
our business.”
Once the two had left, Keira turned to Holly. “I’m not suitable to reveal my identity at the moment.”
Vera had just said that Fox could interfere with the Special Division, which meant inside the Special Division, there was a hidden ally for Fox. Moreover, the data in old Mr. Sims’s room couldn’t have been acquired by an outsider, so she must find out who this hidden ally was.
She refrained from revealing her identity because the senior
sister’s status was too special. If she put it out there, Fox would still have other ways to respond. So, she would keep her identity as her trump card and see what Fox was up to.
With that in mind, she looked at Holly again.
Holly whispered, “I understand. Your sister, Keera, was the senior sister of the Freeman Sect. You’ve taken her place but haven’t learned her martial arts. Once your identity is revealed, it’ll be
easy for others to see through you!
Keira was dumbfounded.
She looked at Holly, completely baffled.
No wonder Holly showed no surprise when she was told that Keira was the senior sister. All along, Holly had thought Keera was the
real senior sister.
