“Come fight her like a man, you coward!” yelled Mindy as she looked at Gerald. She honestly wanted to see both of them spar. “Yeah! Fight like a man!” chanted several of the other girls in the stadium as well. Gerald could only shake his head with a wry smile on his face. There was no way he was going to be able to worm out of this one. Knowing that, he could only agree to the challenge and slowly got onto the main stage. Throughout his brief training with Finnley, he had been taught a total of five self-defense moves. Each move was different, prioritizing on protecting the user from either punches, kicks, or weapons both long and short. The fifth technique, on the other hand, could be utilized under situations where one was being restricted from the back. While all these would definitely help Gerald defend himself should he come face to face with danger, they were still essentially only self-defense moves. They were completely useless in a fight like this. Upon entering th

Hearing that, Mindy immediately left her room to notify her teachers. However, she returned not too long after. “None of the teachers are around, Jasmine. The rest of the adults in the mansion aren’t present either. They’re having their meeting in the meeting room! Have you forgotten? Today’s the day they host their annual big meeting!” explained Mindy. “Ah, I just remembered. No matter then, I’ll just talk to them tomorrow,” replied Jasmine with a nod as she sat on her bed. It didn’t take long before Jasmine realized that Mindy looked as though she still had more to say. “What’s wrong?” enquired Jasmine. Hearing that, Mindy then skipped over to Jasmine’s side before cheekily asking, “Say Jasmine, what do you think they talk about in that mysterious annual family meeting that only our family’s males can attend?” “How should I know?” replied Jasmine as she shook her head before realizing something. “…What are you scheming of, Mindy?” asked Jasmine as she looked Mindy in th

“Indeed… After the young master passed on, no other Fenderson was able to challenge our rivaling family. After all, you were already at an old age when that happened, big brother. It truly is a shame… Thank god our little Jasmine is extremely talented. Her skills could easily match the young master’s! With enough training from us, she could become even more amazing!” said another old man. “While I’ve considered allowing her to participate in this, she’s still Ethan’s only daughter. She’s the last of her bloodline! I’ve been protecting her from the outside world for the longest time… I just don’t have the heart to let her in on all this!” exclaimed the Fenderson patriarch. “She’s still young and she’ll eventually be married off as well. I should also mention that not even young master Ethan had been able to handle the family. What can she do? Her parents had both been killed in that incident, do you think they’d hesitate to take down a little girl?” said another middle-aged man with

“Did you hear that?” The patriarch asked the moment she entered the study.Jasmine nodded firmly. If the fact that the younger generation of their family was permanently grounded was enough to make Jasmine gloomy and depressed every day, then she would forever be grieving over the incident which involved her parents. At least when she was grounded, she could throw a tantrum or complain about it. But ever since she was young, no one had ever told her anything about her own parents. She’d only receive beatings when she asked about them. “Do you hate me for hiding it from you for so many years?” The patriarch asked. “No, I don’t hate you. I understand that you hid it from me for my sake!”Jasmine said. “Jasmine, I saw your performance over the past few years. Frankly speaking, I’m very proud to have a granddaughter like you. Your parents in heaven should be very proud of you too.” The patriarch patted Jasmine’s shoulders lightly. “Then grandpa, who is the enemy of our

Certainly, her grandfather would step forward and intervene since she was going to inherit the property forcefully. Jasmine did not have to worry about the Schuyler family. Although the Schuyler family was quite powerful and influential, they did not dare to cross the line indiscriminately.Jasmine walked out of her grandfather’s study. She tucked away the photograph properly, and she was about to return to her bedroom. “Jasmine, I’ve been waiting for you for a while now!” Under the cover of night, there was a young man standing outside in the courtyard. “Yael Schuyler, why are you waiting for me?” Jasmine said coldly. “I heard from someone else this afternoon that you were hurt. Got beat up by someone else, I heard. I was worried about you, so I came to ask you about it. Don’t worry, Jasmine. I’ll make him pay a heavy price for it!” Yael said.“It’s none of your business. Let me tell you. If you dare to even lay a single finger on my classmates, I’ll certainly never forg

Actually, Gerald intended to talk longer with Jasmine.But after Jasmine said that, there seemed to be a look of resentment on her face when she turned her face away from him.Clearly, she was in no mood to talk to him. Gerald then did not force his way into a conversation with her. Instead, he ran and sat behind the two sisters. Mindy then turned around and rolled her eyes at Gerald. There was no doubt that in her mind, Gerald was just an honest man. But to her surprise, not only was he filthy rich, but he was also pretty skilled at martial arts. But Jasmine herself was quite an exceptional fighter. How could she be defeated by him so easily? If Jasmine did not specifically request for her to not mess with Gerald, she would’ve asked Jasmine to have a re-match with that man again.At first, they were just waiting for the lesson to commence. But after waiting for a while, they did not see many students entering the class. They only saw a few girls from the next class ente

“They’re done for. Gerald, I heard that the Moore family is dependent on an especially large and influential family in Salford Province—the Schuyler family. They could quite literally do anything and get away with it scot-free!” Marven proceeded to explain the complex familial and political relations within Salford Province.Both Jasmine and Mindy, who were sitting in front of them overheard their conversation rather clearly.It was pretty clear that they were eavesdropping when Marven mentioned the Schuyler family. Jasmine tilted her head the moment they reached this topic.After a short while, they heard footsteps outside of the classroom.Finally, the students who should have been here ages ago filed into the classroom.Isabelle was the last person to enter the class. Stella was the one who propped her up. Both of Isabelle’s cheeks were flushed red from all the slaps she had received. Besides that, she was crying vehemently. As she was crying, she said, “I didn’t realize

At that moment, when everyone had run out of options. “Jasmine, why did you ask me to come out here?” Mindy asked. It didn’t take long for her to understand what was going on. “Oh… I see. Don’t tell me that you want to…” Mindy shook her head in resignation and said, “I’m gonna be honest with you, I don’t like Isabelle either. Just look at how she treats her classmates. Besides, Warren is a fool through-and-through. It’s fine if they get themselves in trouble. Why do you have to step forward though?” “I understand what you mean, but we don’t have any kind of resentment towards them. After all, we’re classmates. They’ve never stepped on my tail before anyways. Besides, those girls even cheered me on enthusiastically during the competition yesterday, including Isabelle!“I can’t bear doing nothing about this. Besides, I’ve heard about Colton before. He’s Yael’s subordinate. Maybe this incident is somehow related to Yael!” Jasmine said. “D*mn! Jasmine, you could start being
