Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 418 of "My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire Reviews" — and let me tell you, this chapter is absolutely packed with tension, family drama, and a shocking revelation that will leave you gasping!
---
The chapter opens with a burst of raw power. Keira throws a punch containing all her strength, and Chris, the Second Elder of the Freeman Sect, extends his palm to catch it, a confident smile playing on his lips. He expects to easily gauge her strength, to show this young Outer Sect Disciple her place.
But the moment their fists connect, everything changes.
"Bang!"
The collision is ferocious. Chris's expression shifts dramatically as he feels the threat in her strike. He instinctively uses all his power, yet still finds himself forced back — one step, two steps, five steps! The disbelief is written all over his face as he stares at his own palm, then raises his head to look at Keira with dawning joy. He takes a step forward, ready to speak...
But before he can utter a word, a disciple rushes in with urgent news: "Second Elder, something's wrong!"
The Gill family has arrived at the Disciplinary Hall, causing a fuss. They're accusing the Freeman Sect of allowing an Outer Sect Disciple to fight and brawl outside, specifically for beating up Austin Gill. The disciple's gaze falls on Keira as he delivers this news.
Chris, initially dismissive, asks what's so special about an Outer Sect Disciple beating Austin — that idle third young master of the Gill family who does nothing but loaf around. Just deal with it according to sect rules, he says.
But then the disciple reveals the truth with a wry smile: "The person who beat him up was Keera!"
Chris's eyes snap to Keira. "It was you who beat him?"
She nods without hesitation. "Yes, I did."
And here we see Keira's righteous fury laid bare. She explains that Austin had been spreading vicious rumors about Mary, her friend and soon-to-be sister-in-law. These weren't just idle gossip — they were slanderous lies designed to destroy a woman's reputation. Keira knew that if she didn't drag him out and deal with the problem at its root, the rumors would never stop. Austin had been stubborn and vicious, refusing to yield no matter how she beat him. It wasn't until Lewis Horton personally intervened — and did something Keira still doesn't fully understand — that Austin finally admitted his mistake.
So why are they causing trouble now?
Keira's face darkens as she defends herself: "He slandered my friend Mary... who now, to reckon, is also my sister-in-law, practically family. The Freeman Sect's rules don't stipulate that you can't fight back when bullied by outsiders, do they?"
Chris chuckles wryly, admitting there's no such rule. Keira presses her advantage, arguing that being bullied isn't just physical abuse — it includes being the subject of dirty rumors. The evidence is all over the internet in Clance, still preserved on Austin's own phone. So was she wrong to beat him?
Chris sighs heavily, knowing her arguments are clear and correct. But the problem runs deeper than she realizes.
"If it were an outsider, a beating by a Freeman Sect disciple wouldn't be an issue," he explains, "but you might not know that he's the nominal disciple of my fifth junior brother!"
Keira is stunned. "What?"
The revelation hits like a thunderbolt. Chris explains the complex web of connections between the five major families of Clance. Each generation, the other four families send at least one person to learn martial arts at the Freeman Sect. The truly talented ones become Inner Sect Disciples, like Keira's third brother James. But for those who lack martial arts aptitude, the families save face by selecting someone from their Direct Lineage as a nominal disciple.
"Austin is the nominal disciple of your fifth master uncle," Chris says gravely. "The Freeman Sect has a rule that, except during martial arts competitions, one must not strike their elders. Being a nominal disciple of your fifth master uncle, he is your senior brother, so by hitting your senior brother, you are in the wrong."
Keira stands speechless. Was taking on disciples in the Freeman Sect really this casual?
James quickly interjects, pointing out that since Chris has verbally agreed to take Keira as his own disciple, her status would be higher than Austin's. Surely this resolves the matter?
But Chris shakes his head. "The Freeman Sect is very strict about taking on disciples. All the disciples we have taken are on record. Even if I verbally agreed, it's not yet on record, so she's not considered an Inner Sect Disciple..."
The hierarchy becomes clear: Outer Sect Disciples are the lowest, followed by nominal disciples and Inner Sect Disciples. While nominal and Inner Sect Disciples have equivalent status on paper, everyone understands that Inner Sect Disciples are the true foundation of the Freeman Sect. Keira's attack on Austin violates sect rules unless she had been an Inner Sect Disciple all along, with her apprenticeship predating Austin's — which is clearly impossible.
Kate immediately suggests they blame James for the beating. James eagerly agrees, proposing that he could claim he dressed up as a woman to commit the assault.
Everyone stares from Keira's face to James's face.
Then they look away in disdain.
How could anyone possibly mistake these two faces?
Before Keira can respond, a commanding voice cuts through the tension: "Is this how the Freeman Sect plans to brush off our Gill family?"
The group turns to see a middle-aged woman stride in, followed by Austin himself — his nose still bruised and swollen, his face dark as thunder. When his eyes land on Keira, they turn vicious, as if he's ready to pounce at any moment.
Pointing at Keira, he whines to the woman: "Mom, it was her who beat me! And she almost destroyed me. If you can't have your grandson in the future, it's all her fault!"
Lady Gill's fierce gaze fixes on Keira. "Was it you who attacked my son?!"
Then she turns on Chris, her manner sharp and imperious: "Chris, do you plan on protecting this Outer Sect Disciple? The Freeman Sect has always been known for its strict rules. Now, are you disregarding not only your own reputation but also the Freeman Sect's?"
She scoffs and looks around. "Where is your Sect Leader? Get him here immediately; I demand an explanation today!"
Austin immediately grabs a disciple and sends him running for the Sect Leader. Chris, sweating under Lady Gill's glare, tries to placate her, asking about Mr. Gill's whereabouts.
Lady Gill sneers. "He's too shy and too embarrassed to argue with you folks. He didn't come today; I told him to stay at home!"
She waves her hand, orders someone to bring her a chair, and sits down with the air of a queen. "Today, I'll wait here to see exactly how the Freeman Sect plans to explain themselves to me!"
Keira watches from the side, her brow furrowed. Lady Gill must be nearly fifty, yet she carries herself with fierce determination, her face a mask of righteous anger. Keira whispers to James, asking about Lady Gill's position in the Gill family.
James's answer is revealing: "Officially, it's Lady Gill's husband who's the head of the family, but really, they all listen to her. Currently, she's as powerful as the head of the Gill family, and with three sons under her name, it's no surprise she's spoiled her youngest into what he is now..."
A sense of lament washes over Keira. Lady Gill is clearly a formidable woman, and today's matter will be difficult to handle indeed.
Then James whispers something that makes Keira's jaw drop: "I've heard that when Lady Gill was young, she liked Uncle Olsen, so maybe we should call Uncle Olsen right now? How about a 'beauty trap' strategy?"
Keira can't believe her ears. "Does your Uncle Olsen know you're asking for a beating?"
Kate, overhearing, nods enthusiastically. "Yes, yes, that sounds good!"
Keira thinks to herself: they really are a perfect match.
She asks James what the sect rules dictate for her offense. His answer is chilling: "The sect rules dictate that your martial arts cultivation be abolished and you be banished from Freeman Sect."
Keira's frown deepens. She's about to mention that she didn't learn her martial arts at the Freeman Sect when she remembers the truth — she's taken her sister Keera's place, and Keera was an Outer Sect Disciple who did practice the sect's martial arts. She doesn't want Chris implicated or the Freeman Sect's reputation tarnished because of her.
James whispers reassurance: "But don't worry, we're all from the five major families. You're the daughter Uncle Olsen recently acknowledged. Lady Gill wouldn't dare treat you so harshly. The Freeman Sect will have to think twice before they punish you, weighing your importance within the Olsen family!"
His voice grows resolute. "At worst, you'll leave Freeman Sect, right? If you want to leave unscathed, our family has many ways to ensure it. I'd like to see who dares touch a hair on your head!"
But Keira knows she can't retreat. She must be accepted into the Inner Sect to establish a personal and cooperative relationship with the Freeman family.
Chris tries a different approach, mentioning Keira's connection to the Olsen family. "This young lady here is Uncle Olsen's very own daughter, just recently acknowledged. It's said she wandered outside for a long time. Uncle Olsen is very fond of her, and he especially called me, asking me to accept her as an Inner Sect Disciple. You and Uncle Olsen are old acquaintances, after all, and it's just a minor squabble between the kids. Why don't we call it even?"
Lady Gill's eyes fall on Keira's face, and her brow creases slightly. After a long pause, she asks sharply: "Is your mother Jodie South?"
Keira doesn't deny it.
Lady Gill's expression twists with venom. "No wonder you dared to hit my son; you're the daughter of that cheap woman! Back then, she messed with James, so why didn't she just be with him? Instead, she vanished into thin air, leaving James unmarried all these years! Unexpectedly, she secretly hid herself away and gave birth to you!"
Keira detects a deep resentment in Lady Gill's words — likely jealousy over her mother's connection to James Olsen. But before she can fully process this, Lady Gill delivers her ultimatum:
"Since you're his daughter, I'll show you some consideration. How about this — kneel to my son, and we can call it even!"
The words hit like a slap. Keira's face hardens. James steps forward, outraged. "Lady Gill, don't go too far!"
"Too far?" Lady Gill points at her son's battered face. "Look at how she beat up my son — not a single patch of good skin on him. I'm only asking her to kneel, not for her to take the same beating, and that's because I'm taking into account that she is a woman!"
Chris also frowns. "Lady Gill, this is a bit too much for a younger person, isn't it..."
"I'm simply speaking fairly!" Lady Gill scoffs.
Keira tries reasoning with her. "Lady Gill, do you know why I hit your son?"
Lady Gill's response is contemptuous. "Isn't it just some boy-girl thing? So what? Mary did it, but my son can't say it?! Since she seduced my son and then took away the collaboration from our Gill family, she should pay the price! My son didn't make it up, and you dared to hit him just because he talked. Do you think the Gill family was pushovers?"
Keira's brows furrow in frustration. "Mary didn't seduce your son — it's all his nonsense! He already admitted it himself!"
"Ha! That was him admitting under duress, after being tortured by you, I heard. You have an assistant as well? Call him over too. I would really like to see who dares to beat up my son like this in Clance!"
The Gill family's power is enormous, rivaling even the Olsen family's. Austin, as the spoiled youngest son, is Lady Gill's pride and joy. Keira realizes that Lady Gill is actually quite reasonable in other ways — she's just been completely deceived by her son's lies. But how can Keira prove the truth when Lady Gill trusts Austin implicitly?
She feels trapped in a dead-end, with no way out.
Then, a hoarse voice cuts through the tension — a voice strained from too much crying or shouting: "Lady Gill, oh Lady Gill, how can you be so lacking in compassion toward the younger generation? If a young woman has beaten up your son, you should reflect on yourself. How could a man allow a woman to beat him to the point he cries? Don't you think?"
The voice arrives before the person enters the yard. James's eyes light up. "The Sect Leader has come!"
Keira's gaze snaps to the entrance. For some reason, the Sect Leader's voice — a bit off and hoarse, just like last time — feels strangely familiar. Especially that careless tone, carrying a hint of a playful old man's vibe... It reminds her of how her master used to speak.
A figure appears at the door — dressed in a gray training outfit, with short, rugged hair, hands clasped behind his back, exuding wild charm. But Keira can't make out his face because the Sect Leader is standing with his back to everyone, like a martial arts expert striking a pose.
Keira's mouth twitches.
James leans in and whispers, "The Sect Leader is showing off again."
Lady Gill immediately sneers. "Master Freeman, I've been here for ten minutes, and you've only arrived now!"
The Sect Leader, seemingly oblivious to her sarcasm, smiles. "Hey, even though I'm getting on in years, I do practice martial arts after all. It's normal for me to be quicker on my feet than you all!"
Lady Gill feels like she's punching cotton. She takes a deep breath and points at Keira. "Master Freeman, what do you mean by what you just said? Are you intending to defend this Outer Sect Disciple?"
"How is that possible?" Trevor denies it instantly. "The matters of the Freeman Sect must follow the sect rules! How can we bend the law for personal gain?!"
Lady Gill's expression relaxes slightly — until the Sect Leader adds his twist.
"I'm considering Austin's reputation here," he says smoothly. "He's a nominal disciple of our fifth brother and has made quite a name for himself in Clance over the years. Everyone thinks his martial arts are very strong. If we punish this Outer Sect girl, wouldn't it mean that his getting bullied by an Outer Sect disciple would spread everywhere? Austin, are you sure you want to lose face like this?"
The words make Austin hesitate. He cares about face more than anything in his social circle — that's why he insisted he'd slept with Mary in the first place! If everyone finds out he was beaten by a woman, his reputation would be destroyed.
Lady Gill, furious, sneers. "Master Freeman, you're truly silver-tongued! Your Outer Sect Disciple breaks the sect rules and bullies a nominal disciple, yet you want to push the blame onto the victim? Are you going to ask my son why this Keera didn't hit anyone else but him?"
Without missing a beat, the Sect Leader asks: "Right, that's what I want to ask. Why didn't she hit anyone else but you? Austin, shouldn't you reflect on yourself? Is there something about you that's asking for a beating? Or maybe you have 'I need a punch' written on your face?"
Lady Gill stands up, enraged. "Trevor, you...!!"
"Oh my, don't get angry, Lady Gill. Anger brings wrinkles so easily! Alas!" Trevor continues with his insouciant charm. "Besides, children have their own fortune. Our sect may have this rule, but if my son were beaten, I definitely wouldn't seek revenge for him. I'd tell him to practice his martial arts and find a chance to hit back..."
Lady Gill sneers. "That's you, not me! Your Freeman family is a martial arts family, so everything with you is about proving through force. But we, the Gill family, are merchants, so we must proceed by legal and proper means! Master Freeman, if you insist on not using the sect rules to punish this Outer Sect Disciple, then I'll have no choice but to resort to other measures and call the police!"
"That won't be necessary, that won't be necessary..." Trevor waves his hand, still keeping his back turned. "We're both decent families. How about this? I can contact Uncle Olsen and have him come to apologize to you."
Lady Gill's eyes light up at this suggestion, but she scoffs. "Don't try to tempt me with a handsome man! Let me tell you, I have a husband, and that trick won't work on me!"
Trevor coughs slightly. "What handsome man? What are you talking about? Aren't we all friends here? Uncle Olsen's daughter hit your son, so it's only right for him to apologize... If you don't want him to come over for fear of making your husband jealous, just let him come here! We can all talk it over."
Lady Gill's suspicion grows. "Stop talking nonsense here, Trevor. From the moment you arrived, you've turned your back on me. What's that supposed to mean? Do you think I'm not pleasant to the eyes? Or do you think looking at my face will give you a stye?"
"How could that be?" Trevor chuckles nervously. "Lady Gill is as beautiful as a goddess. When you were young, you were known as a great beauty of Clance. Didn't we just meet recently? I just... well, it's a bit inconvenient, and I'm afraid my appearance might damage the integrity of the Freeman Sect!"
Lady Gill's voice rises with anger. "Stop making excuses! I think you're just looking down on me because I'm a woman! That's why you're being so disrespectful. Trevor, you don't plan to deal with this matter with your back turned the whole time, do you?"
"That's impossible..." Trevor sighs quietly. "Lady Gill, if you absolutely insist on me facing you, it's not that I can't do it..."
Keira has been watching Trevor closely this entire time, a strange feeling growing in her chest. The voice, the mannerisms, that careless, playful tone... Her eyes light up slightly as she waits.
Then, Trevor pauses. And finally, slowly, very slowly, he turns around...
