Chapter 384
He was very fond of this disciple.
Trevor was a very earnest person. After becoming the Sect Leader, taking in disciples was extremely important, as it related to the selection of the next
Sect Leader for the Freeman Sect.
Yet after assessing the talent and bones of his own family’s offspring, even his own son, as well as children from Clance coming to seek martial arts training, he
found none to his satisfaction.
As a result, he delayed the decision for many years.
Adhering to a policy of preferring a lack rather than an unworthy disciple, he absolutely refused to take on disciples. His own younger brother, also the sect’s second disciple’s eldest disciple, James, became very sought after at that time.
**
Everyone was speculating that James might marry into
the Freeman family, inheriting the Freeman Sect and becoming the next Sect Leader.
Trevor thought so too.
However, this was the worst-case scenario. Given the choice, of course, he wanted the best in the world.
He began traveling around the country, trying to find the most suitable child, until seven years prior when
he arrived in Oceanion.
Back then, in the park, he was watching the running children, but he inexplicably took a liking to a little balloon-selling girl.
The little girl must have just finished school, so she arrived late and could only stand selling balloons in a
corner.
The vendor next to her even bullied her, telling her to sit down or she would block the others’ light.
The little girl didn’t bring a chair, so she simply stood there in a squatting posture.
Trevor found it amusing.
Those who practiced martial arts knew how tiring this
action was. He wanted to see how long the little girl
could persist, and an hour went by… two hours went
by…
The little girl had persisted in that half-squatting position for a whole three and a half hours!
And the key was that she did so without changing her expression.
Trevor immediately began observing her bone
structure, and upon seeing it, he was drawn to Keira as if a starving wolf had spotted meat.
Thus followed his insistence on teaching her martial arts and having her call him master.
It was only later that he discovered the little girl had a formidable mother who, from a young age, subjected her to beatings and scolding the reason she was so resilient and had such a strong physique was due to
that torment.
Even though the child was already fifteen years old, her body’s age was around ten due to chronic malnourishment; she hadn’t missed the optimal age to begin martial arts training.
No normal child would grow up in such an extreme
environment, so her inhuman mother, in an indirect way, had actually done her a favor.
Seeing her potential, Trevor wanted her to quit school
and follow him, but Keira insisted on continuing her
education. Finding no other choice, he settled down in Oceanion for her sake.
From initially practicing an hour each day to two hours, and finally, Keira managed to defeat him!
After Trevor had taught her all he could, he decided to leave, telling her he would come to take her home after she graduated from university at the age of 23.
How could the elder martial sister of the Freeman Sect
be left to wander outside?
After he returned to the Freeman Sect, he mentioned
this to his younger brother and the sect’s disciples, and since then, everyone was joyfully awaiting the elder martial sister’s return at the age of 23!
After a long wait, with Trevor unable to leave due to
sect affairs, he sent someone to fetch her. However,
when the person returned, they reported that the elder martial sister, Keira, also known as Mrs. Horton,
had drowned!!
A
Trevor couldn’t believe this and made a personal trip
to Oceanion, where he indeed saw her tombstone and the photo on it.
It was his dear disciple!
Trevor found it incredibly hard to believe, and deeply impacted, he returned to Clance and became
despondent, shutting himself in his room. novelbin
Now, the entire Freeman Sect still didn’t know that the
eldest senior sister had met with an accident…
He didn’t dare to think about it. How incredibly sad, distressed, and pained the entire Freeman Sect would
be if he revealed this news?
He looked at the photo of himself together with Keira on the phone, at the girl’s clear, bright, and beautiful expression as if her voice and smile were still in front of him, making his eyes redden.
His beloved disciple probably didn’t know until her death that she was actually the eldest senior sister of Crera’s greatest martial arts sect, the Freeman Sect, did she? Nor did she understand her importance to the Freeman Sect!
Trevor thought of this and once again clutched his
chest, his eyes reddened from crying once more
becoming teary.
So, when he heard James’s words, he suddenly felt a bit panicked and blurted out, “This is not a good time!”
In front of others, he had always been the stern Sect Leader; how could he face anyone when he was crying
like this?!
James’s footsteps paused slightly.
Seeming to sense something off in his voice, James asked, “Master, are you feeling unwell?”
Unwell? His heart was practically breaking apart!
Who could have imagined that the future of the Freeman Sect, his disciple, would be drowned to
death?
Wasn’t she able to swim?
Trevor, with tears in his eyes, sobbed and said, “I’m
fine.”
James was perplexed.
Outside.
James and Keira looked at each other, both a bit
s
confused about the situation.
However…
Keira glanced at the door, feeling that the voice inside sounded slightly familiar.
But her master was always smiling; the voice inside carried a crying tone, rendering her unable to recognize it.
Yet James, concerned and flustered, asked, “Master, are you sure nothing is wrong? My…”
In the split second when the word “aunt” was about to escape his lips, James realized Keira had just now preferred not to be called that in public, so he quickly changed his way of addressing her. “My friend knows bit of medicine, why not let her check on you?”
James felt that since Keera managed to diagnose Bobby’s brain tumor, she must be a very skilled doctor.
Keira tried to stop him, “I’m not…”
However, James didn’t listen to her at all. “You don’t need to explain further; just help take a look at my Sect Leader. He’s usually very healthy, rarely even catching a cold. What’s wrong with his voice today?
I’ve heard that there’s a new virus going around, targeting people’s throats specifically. Master, you haven’t been infected by this strain, have you? You can’t ignore it; you need timely medical diagnosis and
treatment!”
Trevor thought, “How could this brat be so annoying?!”
He hastily took out a tissue, wiped his tears, and then tried to speak with as much dignity as possible. “I’m fine! Go away! I can’t meet anyone today!”
James didn’t want to leave just like that.
What if Keera complained to his uncle, claiming he wasn’t diligent in his duties?
He coughed lightly. “Master, please don’t say that. Y sound strange, so there must be a problem! I’m con
in now.”
Leaving that statement, he stepped forward and pushed open the door.
Then he winked at Keira, striding into the room with
her!
“Master, my friend here is quite capable, so let her have a look at you. By the way, could you give my
friend a little help with something?”
