How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire
Chapter 397 - Chapter 397 Chapter 396

Chapter 397: Chapter 396 Chapter 397: Chapter 396 Outside Freeman Sect.

Leaning back in his car seat, Lewis Horton shot a look of slight bemusement at the WhatsApp message.

Tom Davis, having returned to Clance, was sitting in the backseat peering at him. Catching sight of the message, he immediately asked, “Boss, aren’t you worried about Miss Olsen?”

Lewis tossed his phone aside, “She might be a bit confused about her own strength.”

Tom: ?

Unable to hold back, Tom spoke up, “I’ve never seen Miss Olsen fight that well, either. Back in Oceanion, she was even pinned down by bodyguards a few times!”

Lewis shot him a glance, “The time she was held down, it was because of grandma.”

Upon reflection, Tom understood and nodded right away, “Right, because of old Mrs. Horton! Speaking of which, the old lady has come to Clance as well, just waiting for you to bring Miss Olsen home!”

Lewis glanced at the gates of Freeman Sect and sighed softly, “Tell grandma, I’m not coming back yet.”

He couldn’t bring Kiera Olsen back to meet grandma openly until her identity as Keera was clarified…

…

Inside Freeman Sect.

After sending the message and receiving no reply from Lewis, Kiera Olsen was slightly puzzled.

Is my phone out of signal today?

As she pondered, Jackson Gill stepped forward, his eyes coldly fixed on her, “It’s useless to call for help now. Even if James Olsen were here, he’d have to abide by the draw. Keera, if you kneel and beg for mercy now, I might ask Erick Miles to go easy on you!”

Kiera Olsen: “…”

Her expression grew solemn.

Kneeling and begging for mercy was out of the question.

The only thing to do now was to fight with all her might to defeat Erick!

Taking a deep breath, Kiera said firmly, “Fine, let’s do this.”

She approached the foot of the arena.

The martial arts tournament even sported an arena where contestants fought according to the draw order.

Kiera was the fifteenth one.

The previous contestants fought until they were battered and bruised, leaving the arena injured after each match, which made Kiera fear for her own safety.

She suffered from iron-deficiency anemia; if she were carelessly injured…

What was Lewis doing? He hadn’t even replied to her message.

More importantly, she had left Samuel Morgan in Oceanion, not bringing him along since the company there was about to go public…

What if she lost too much blood later? Who would she call for help?

Glancing around, she could only turn to Matias Gill, “If I lose too much blood and pass out, remember to take me to the hospital for IV fluids. Besides blood, I need iron supplements.”

Matias Gill: “…”

Her earnest instructions threw him into disarray.

He glanced at Erick, “Keera, are you really up for this?”

“Let’s try and see.”

Kiera’s tone was not very confident, “If I lose, I lose. But if by some stroke of luck, I win, do I stand a chance to make it to the finals and become an Inner Sect Disciple?”

Matias nodded, “Definitely a chance!”

Yet he scrutinized her once more, “But how can you overpower Erick? Remember? When we just started training, Jackson bullied us, and we ganged up on him. But when Erick showed up, he took both of us down… We couldn’t defeat him together… Maybe you should just admit defeat as soon as you step onto the stage!”

“There’s a rule in the tournament. If the opponent doesn’t concede defeat, the fight can go on indefinitely!”

No sooner had Matias finished speaking than Jackson strolled over with a smirk, raising an eyebrow at Kiera, “Keera, are you really sure about this? Do you think just because you lasted three moves against my second senior brother, that you’re something special? Everyone knows he was letting you guys off easy this year. Didn’t you also participate in the tournament last year and fail to withstand the second move of the third senior brother?”

“You still have a chance if you apologize and lower your head now… The fourteenth match is underway, it’s almost time for you and Erick.”

Jackson went on and on until Kiera couldn’t help but stick her fingers in her ears before looking at him, “Are you a frog? So noisy!”

Jackson Gill: !!

His face darkened in an instant, “Fine, since you’re so ungrateful, don’t blame Erick for not being gentle with you!”

Kiera pursed her lips.

On the viewing stands.

James Olsen was also keeping an eye on the situation. Holding the latest list of match candidates, his brows furrowed upon seeing Keera’s match against Erick.

During the previous selections, he had deliberately gone easy on someone. However, when it was Keera’s turn, he hadn’t controlled his strength well; unexpectedly, she dodged his moves three times.

Now, recalling it, he found it inconceivable, thinking he underestimated this Outer Sect Disciple.

But no matter what, she couldn’t possibly beat Erick.

Erick was, after all, one of the formidable disciples among the Outer Sect…

While pondering this, Elder Grant soundlessly slipped over, sitting on the stands and going straight to the point, “Has Keera’s match ended?”

“Not yet.”

After the other elders finished speaking, Elder Grant nodded.

In the midst of their conversation, the fourteenth match finally ended. The defeated competitor was carried off, sent directly to the hospital – not just bruised and battered, but nearly soaked in blood.

Looking at the sorry state of the loser, Kiera became even more anxious for her own life.

As the host Elder called out for participant number fifteen, Kiera coughed and turned towards Matias, “Remember, if I lose too much blood, take me to the hospital for iron supplements, okay~”

Matias Gill: “…”

The others: “…”

Even Elder Grant on the stands couldn’t help but furrow his brow.

On the day he assessed Keera’s bones, he felt sure she was formidable. But now, why was an Outer Sect Disciple so full of worries and lacking confidence?

After all, Outer Sect Disciples lacked talent, and any Inner Sect Disciple could effortlessly dispatch them…

Suspicions began to arise in Elder Grant’s mind about his judgment that day, questioning if he had made a mistake.

Wouldn’t it mean he had misinformed the Sect Leader for nothing?

He thought he had finally encountered good fortune, like the Sect Leader, finding a promising disciple at last.

Elder Grant couldn’t shake off a trace of disappointment and doubt.

He sighed quietly, slumping slightly in his seat.

On the stage, Kiera Olsen faced Erick Miles.

Kiera, though she stood at 167 centimeters, was slender compared to Erick’s towering height of 190 centimeters and his muscular physique, a stark contrast in their capabilities from a simple glance – a match with seemingly no suspense.

Looking at Kiera…

The girl’s face was tight with tension, her eyes warily on Erick, as if bracing for the inevitable bullying…

With the host Elder’s command to “begin,” Erick charged forth with a ferocious shout, rushing straight towards Kiera!
