Owen was caught off guard opened his mouth, about to say, “Of course it was the first generation… *
But then it hit him, when the original founder created martial arts, there was no Serenity Sect at all.
Back then, he was just a “maverick” too.
Ethan scoffed. “Mr. Cooper, you just said anyone outside the Serenity Sect is a maverick. So let me ask you, before the Serenity Sect even existed, what about those who practiced martial arts? Were they mavericks as well?”
Owen was left speechless.
Every word Ethan said was like a knife, cutting right to the heart of Owen’s guilty conscience.
Annabelle, flustered, stepped forward.
‘Ethan, you can’t say that! The Serenity Sect has been passed down for centuries. Those seniors were naturally the predecessors of the Serenity Sect…”
Ethan shot her a cold look. “Predecessors? So you’re saying the Serenity Sect started out as a maverick too.”
Annabelle opened her mouth, but couldn’t find a single word to refute him.
Ethan didn’t look at her again and turned to Owen.
Mr. Cooper, I’m not here to argue with you. I might not know much about martial arts, but I do know one thing, all fighting styles, no matter where they come from, end up at the same place,
If someone’s got skills, that’s all that matters. Doesn’t matter what path they took.
If you think Natalie’s not up to par, just tell us where she’s lacking and we’ll listen. But you didn’t say a single thing, just called her a maverick right off the bat…”
He paused, his tone still calm and unhurried. “Honestly, that kind of logic wouldn’t fly anywhere.”
Ryan couldn’t help but chuckle as he watched their faces flush with embarrassment.
No one had ever managed to out-argue Ethan. His mind was quick and his logic airtight. He could leave opposing lawyers
peechless in court. Compared to that, today was a walk in the park for him.\
Owen stood there, his face flushing and paling by turns, unable to say a single word
He took a deep breath, trying to steady himself
He knew that if he kept pushing, he’d only embarrass himself further. He was an outer ekler of the Sercity Next Dok se street hustler arguing for scraps
Owen forced down his anger and cupped his hands in respect
“Ethan, your wokis are sharp I admit I’m no match for you As for Natalie a skille
He paused “We’ll disr uss that some other tim

Natalie was just about to speak when a deep male voice called out from the crowd behind her.
Mr. Cooper, please wait.”
Everyone turned to look as Henry Pierce walked slowly forward from the back.

He was dressed in a deep gray suit, his tie impeccably knotted, exuding an aloof elegance as if he’d just stepped off a magazine cover.
He stopped in front of Owen, his gaze detached and cool as he looked at him.
Owen froze when he saw who called out to him, instinctively straightening up, even his usual confident posture seemed to deflate a bit.
“M-Mr. Pierce?”
His face was full of surprise, his voice respectful with a hint of nervousness. All the arrogance he’d shown to the Mitchell brothers vanished in an instant.
Annabelle frowned in confusion at how her mentor was acting.
Henry had serious clout in Harbor City, but as an elder of the Serenity Sect, surely her mentor didn’t have to act so meek, right?
‘Mr. Cooper…”
Henry’s voice was soft, but it made Owen’s heart jump right up into his throat.
‘When my mother was alive, she used to talk to me about the Serenity Sect all the time.
‘She always said the Serenity Sect prized its Legacy, but even more, it valued virtue.
The elders never acted superior just because of their sect, and they never tried to push others down by claiming to be the only true tradition.”
He paused, looking at Owen. “Mr. Cooper, do you think my mother was right?”
Cold sweat broke out all over Owen. Henry’s mother was the senior disciple of the Serenity Sect’s inner sect grand cigar
Even though they were the same rank, she was an inner sect disciple, and the most powerful and talented one mitong ber
peers.
Owen wouldn’t dare disagree with her.
He nodded quickly “Mrs. Pierce was absolutely right.”
Henry turned away from Owen and landed his gaze on Natalie
I’m no expert, but when my mother was alive. I trained in martial arts because of her unflocice Mlem’s sand
His voice was steady, and his gaze softened as he looked at Natalie
I may be rusty, but I still know what to look for
Owen’s pame was written all over his face as Henry finished speakin

“Well carranty His mother was the semor disciple of the Serenity Sert’s grand elder. Of course he learned it.”
Theard Mr. Pierce was a prodigy when he was young He was supposed to join the Serenity Sect’s inner sect, but after his mother had that accident, he and Miss Pierce had to take over the Pierce Group…”
Natalie’s brow twitched when she heard that, and the ghaqced in Henry’s direction.
Annabelle Mood behind Owen, her face drained of color as she listened to the conversation.
We finally understood why her teacher was so respectful toward Henrys
Henry continued, I grew up learning from my mother. The style I learned is exactly the same as what Natalie just showed.
is exa
So, Mr. Cooper, are you saying I’m a maverick as well?
Owen broke out in a cold sweat, his legs trembling
I what I learned counts as being an outsider, then that means Mrs. Pierce was an outsider too, and even the grand eider would be called an outsider
Mr Pierce, that’s really not what I meant Owen said nervously.
denry snorted coldly, his eyes ice cold.
So what did you mean, then?
Mr. Cooper, martial arts isn’t just the Serenity Sect’s. It belongs to everyone.”
Natalie’s technique is better than anyone I’ve ever seen.
If she’s considered a maverick, then the Serenity Sect doesn’t/have any real claim to tradition left”
Those words landed so heavy, Owen’s legs nearly buckled.

Mr. Pierce, Phan, 1 misjudged, and I shouldn’t have said what I did
Natalie’s skills are truly impressive
I might not be the best judge, but the elders in the Serenity Sect definitely know their staff Maybe
He paused, his tone turning most fawning “Why don’t I put in a word for Natalie with the elder Wahlwy biton’s chest have no trouble joining the inner sect

EMY Mitchell, what do you think Owen stammered
William finally let out a small smile and spoke

“Mr. Cooper, you just called my daughter a maverick, and now you’re saying you want to recommend her to the elders?
William paused, looking thoughtful as he addressed Owen.
“As her dad, I’m honestly confused. Is my daughter just some outsider, or is she a real talent who’s good enough for the inner sect?”
Owen’s face turned beet red, like he’d swallowed a brick.
Everyone cracked up at how William was sticking up for his daughter.
‘Wasn’t Mr. Cooper just dead serious about calling her an outsider? Now he’s saying she’s good enough for the inner sect? Talk about eating your own words!”
‘Seriously, he changed his tune in less than ten minutes
“That’s a great question from Mr. Mitchell. So is she a maverick or a rising star? Mr. Cooper, how about giving us a straight answer?”
