The Man In Rage novel Chapter 1416

"Qi-Tian, why are you here? Come on in!"

Mike Jones, the young master of the Jones family, came out to greet Chu Qi-Tian after he had been informed of the latter's arrival.

Mike Jones was a jovial man who enjoyed making friends.

As the young masters of families under Chu Sect, they had had numerous dealings with each other. Mike Jones was naturally happy to see Chu Qi-Tian and led the latter into the hall immediately.

"Qi-Tian, stay for the evening and have dinner with us. I've gotten a few bottles of great wine recently. Let's have a drink later, shall we?" said Mikes Jones with a smile.

"Let's have that drink another time. I'm here to visit your sister. I heard that she disappeared for some time a while ago and was recently found. Is she alright?" asked Chu Qi-Tian with some concern.

Mike Jones was a little startled when he heard that. "You're here for my sister?"

His sister kept to herself and wasn't good with crowds at all. She had enrolled in a school started by Chu Sect. The students had all come from rich families of influence. She hadn't been popular at all and had been ostracized by the other students. Everyone had thought her strange and eccentric, and had sometimes subjected her to cruel bullying.

Exasperated, Mike Jones' father had brought her home and kept her protected and sheltered in their own home.

For many years, Angie had had no friends and no contact with anyone else besides her own family.

The only exception was Meng Wan-Yu, Tang Yun's disciple, who visited her every now and then.

That explained why Mike Jones was surprised when Chu Qi-Tian had told him that he was here for his sister.

"What's wrong, Mike? Is she busy?" asked Chu Qi-Tian when he caught the strange look on Mike Jones' face.

Mike Jones shook his head and smiled wryly. "It's alright, I'm just surprised. I'm glad that my sister's earned your concern though. I'm happy for her. Hold on, I'll go get her."

Mike Jones smiled, then turned away and headed for their backyard.

It was noon and the sun was glaring brightly in the sky.

Under its harsh heat, a petite young girl could be seen dragging weights that weighed nearly a hundred kilograms, undergoing physical training alongside the guards of their family on the training ground.

Beads of sweat streamed down her delicate face.

One could see the streaks of blood and slight bumps on her forehead and wrists.

She had gotten them when she had tripped and fallen during her runs.

The guards who were training with her couldn't help but feel terrible when they saw the bruises and cuts littering her skin.

"Young Mistress, please give up."

"You shouldn't put yourself through this!"

"We won't forgive ourselves if you overexert yourself and collapse from exhaustion!"

'That's right, Young Mistress!"

"Please stop your training..."

"Why are you doing this to yourself?"

"We'll be there to protect you from danger."

"We'll risk our lives to save you!"
