"Damn, this girl is fierce!"
"Black clothes, white flowers, seems well-prepared!"
"What grudge, what hatred, choosing this ti to cause trouble?"
...
The crowd present, witnessing such a scene, couldn’t help but discuss openly in front of the Scott family.
Aaron Scott was trembling with rage.
The coldness seeped in, his lungs ached, and fury spread throughout his body, making every nerve tremble.
However, saving face was crucial, how could he allow himself to be enraged in front of a youngster?
After taking a few deep breaths, Aaron Scott gradually cald down, looking at Nora Scott in her outfit, recalling the news received in the morning—
He wasn’t angry nor upset, even sowhat arrogant, let out a cold snort, and deliberately asked, "Is Antonio Easton finally dead?"
At the mont Aaron Scott ntioned ’Antonio Easton’, both Pedro Langley and Ernesto Scott were taken aback, then exchanged looks of sympathy for Aaron.
Nora Scott’s eyes turned icy, exuding murderous intent, like a storm of snow sweeping in.
No one saw how Nora Scott broke through the crowd and directly confronted Aaron Scott.
All they knew was that by the ti they reacted, two servants had fallen to the ground, and at the sa mont, Nora was already in front of Aaron, clutching his collar as if he were a chick, lifting him easily.
At that instant, she appeared possessed by Yama, coming from the fiery inferno, radiating danger and calmness.
Almost everyone without a thought believed—
She really might kill Aaron Scott!
"Shaless bastard, who the hell do you think you are to ntion his na?"
Nora locked eyes on Aaron, whose expression had turned frantic, spitting out each word with an icy, bone-chilling intent.
"You—"
Entirely in her grip, Aaron tried to remain composed despite his panic.
"Lady, murder is illegal!"
Amidst the guests, a young man shouted suddenly.
The shout seed to trigger sothing, as the Scott family mbers and servants finally snapped out of their daze and rushed towards Nora.
However—
They forgot, besides the ruthless Nora, there was also the calm Pedro Langley.
In front of the martial-trained Nora, maybe Pedro couldn’t compete, but the fancy but ineffectual fighting skills of the Scott family’s servants had no impact on him.
In the blink of an eye, no one managed to get close to Nora before being taken down one by one by Pedro.
Flora Loughton’s eyes shone: "Damn, my son is aweso!"
After tossing aside the last person, with everyone watching in shock, Pedro gracefully tidied his collar and sleeves, then gracefully stepped beside Nora.
He looked at Nora calmly and gently, his hand rested on her shoulder, leaning in slightly to whisper in her ear, "Killing him isn’t worth it."
For a brief mont, Nora’s eyes flickered.
"Used my mom, stole my grandfather’s bridge design blueprints, tricked my mom to design your interior decorations..."
Speaking slowly, Nora suddenly let go, and Aaron returned to the ground after brushing death, almost collapsing in a heap, his face pale but chest heaving angrily.
Nora smiled, looking up at the room, deliberately fixing her gaze on Sophie Scott before shifting her eyes, continuing slowly, "Once you’re done copying the elder’s work, you move to the younger’s. The Scott family, you surely pass down plagiarism like a legacy."
Everyone: Gasp—there’s a huge shocking revelation!
"What nonsense are you spouting! If you have proof, show it!"
Aaron Scott was furious, his words rushed as if a sore spot was hit.
No longer able to maintain the composure befitting a senior, he looked like a soaked, furious mutt.
"I have no evidence, just reminiscing old matters and casually saying—"
At this point, Nora paused.
Next mont, she raised her right hand, drawing all eyes to it.
In her hand was a Jade Token, sunlight penetrating through it, the translucent jade shimred brightly, faintly outlining the words "Biel". Dandelion patterns adorned around the token, delicate and beautiful.
She scanned the room, speaking clearly, "Is there anyone from Biel Hall present?"
Everyone: What?!
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"I am."
" too."
...
Unexpectedly, people began responding.
Each responder stood up, old and young alike, their faces initially bewildered, then excited, finally turning resolute.
The rest just stared blankly at this scene.
—What kind of developnt is this?
So, soone began whispering.
"Biel Hall?"
"What is that? Sounds so overdramatic."
"Youngster, if you’re clueless, stay quiet."
"Biel Hall, the largest civilian intelligence organization. Priceless intelligence, whether in business or academics, whoever stands out wants to maintain good ties with Biel Hall. If your elders haven’t heard of it, they’re just ignorant."
"Who is this girl, how does she have the Hall Master’s Token of Biel Hall?"
"The Hall Master changed recently, just a young girl. Recently, this news caused quite a stir in the field. Unexpectedly, this girl turns out to be the Scott family’s eldest granddaughter?"
...
During the ti that the elders were educating the youth, one after another, over ten people stood up.
The companions they ca with couldn’t help but be astounded, as if a long-known friend suddenly beca a stranger.
Among them were aged scholars, young heirs, and of course, unremarkable martial world figures... from various backgrounds and ages, not even from the sa circles.
However, they stood up with the sa identity—
mbers of Biel Hall!
Biel Hall from the martial world, omnipresent!
In the end, everyone pressed down their diverse emotions and stood out in unison, leaving their seats, gathering together, and facing Nora.
Bow in unison.
"Hall Master!"
They spoke in unison this title.
Even though they heard bits and pieces and were sowhat prepared ntally, everyone present couldn’t help but open their eyes wide.
Especially Flora Loughton and Mrs. Chapman—
At so point, the two had beco allies, giddy with excitent, tightly clasping each other’s hands.
Pedro Langley gave a slight glance at Nora.
He had earlier discovered Nora’s connection to Biel Hall.
Little did he know, Nora turned out to be the "Hall Master."
Indeed, very martial world-like.
Aaron Scott, needless to say, initially filled with fury, but upon seeing the token in Nora’s hand, his boiling blood cooled, replaced by an icy chill seeping in from all directions.
Nora Scott, Hall Master of Biel Hall?
What had he missed?!
Aaron’s mind went blank, completely stunned.
anwhile, everyone present clearly heard Nora’s voice—
"From today on, Biel Hall will be irreconcilable with the Scott family!"
