CHAPTER 501 NONE OF THEM

As soon as Kate mentioned Leo, a subtle change happened to the old man behind her. His aloof face

revealed a tinge of surprise.

Of course, he had ever heard about this name many times.

This man was so close to the marriage with Kate. However, he fled away at the eve of wedding, leaving

Kate alone to be mocked as being abandoned by her man.

What an ungrateful jerk!

But the old man seemed a bit confused when noticing her unique infatuation with that man, in which

there also mixed with a great proportion of hatred.

She hated him, but she also appeared softhearted when it came to him.

‘Love and hate . Kate, that’s how you define your feelings for him, right?’ the old man thought to

himself. He sighed while looking at her, who was smiling.

“Kate, are you sure it’s worth? There were countless excellent men in the world. Why do you have to

stick to your feelings for him?”

“If it weren’t because of the fact that he had married Lydia and had been a part of the Henderson

Family, I would have raided their residence and brought him to you.”

Kate smiled, “Keegan, to be honest, there are only a few excellent men in the world who could be

paralleled with him. What’s more, there should be fewer when it comes to impressing me.”

“If I can’t get his love, I need to beget his hate. At lease it’s better than being forgotten by him.”

“One more thing. You are no match for him. No offense.”

Hearing that, Keegan seemed to ease his sternness a bit. But then he huffed.

‘No match for him, huh?’ he wondered unpleasantly.

As one of the Top 5 warriors among the royal families in Valenham, he remained proud of his own

power.

But meanwhile, he also stuck to his own belief—Never overestimate himself nor underestimate others.

There must be a reason accounting for her crush on this guy named Leo.

Among the nine royal families in Valenham, Leo alone had ever challenged three of them—the

Matthews, the Brooks and the Newmans. What was more, he actually got away with it alive, which

certainly proved how powerful he was.

Perhaps there were only few young men in Valenham possessing the same courage as he had ever

showed.

“Leo, I really fancy fighting you. I hope you won’t fail my expectation.” Keegan murmured to himself.

“Keegan, let’s go. Here comes our escort.” Kate smiled while pointing at the group of guards ahead.

Soon, Keegan remained a stern expression again.

Kate had just returned to the Spencer Family.

She got a lot to shoulder during the trip to Hopkins this time. While the rest of the Spencers were all

expecting her failure.

So this time it had to be done.

Ahead of them there were a group of people waiting for them, while the most of whom were business

tycoons hunting for commercial opportunities.

Meanwhile, among them there were two groups with the greatest influence—JP Business Association

led by Emmanuel and the Martial Arts Association in Hopkins led by Nathaniel.

Of course, the escort team mostly consisted of these two groups of people.

And no one dared to take the first step forward to greet Kate except for them.

Both Emmanuel and Nathaniel were greeting with bright smile.

Keegan only replied with an indifferent glimpse, “Where are the competitors for the Northernland

General Assembly in the name of the Spencers?”

Nathaniel smiled and pointed, “Here they are. Please take a look.”

As Kate and Keegan looked over, they saw competitors selected from the Martial Art Association

standing in two lines behind Nathaniel. All of them seemed marvelous.

Nathaniel smiled proudly, “They are all the elites from the Association. One in a million! So, Miss

Spencer, what do you think?”

Keegan then nodded.

Though Valenham was known as the capital of Pompeii, the other metropolis were catching up with it

during these years.

At the thought of that, Keegan said, “I am sure with the help of those elites, the Spencers will win a

great name in the Northernland General Assembly.”

Emmanuel added, “Miss Spencer, just make your choice. I will cover the payment.”

Hearing that, Nathaniel seemed thrilled.

When he was about to utter, Kate actually shook her head, “Not good enough.”

As soon as he finished, everyone around was stunned, even including Keegan, Nathaniel and

Emmanuel.

The smile on Nathaniel’s face seemed frozen. Then a trace of anger appeared instinctively. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

However, he knew how powerful Keegan was, plus, Kate was one of the royal members in Valenham,

so he had to hold back his displeasure.

Then he asked awkwardly, “Miss Spencer, we still got enough elites expecting a try, so we can change

as many times as you want.”

As he finished, the rest of them, including those business tycoons and the high-rank officials, couldn’t

help staring at him, feeling amazed.

Undoubtedly, only the two Associations could be qualified enough to make such promise.

Keegan nodded, “Kate, please make your choice. We are going to strive for the champion and grab the

title, the Guard of Northernland.”

But actually, it was Norah who should attend the Assembly in the name of the Spencers.

She was a cousin of Kate, who remained contemptuous about Kate when she returned to the family.

But Kate managed to convince the family by claiming that she would take the champion in the name of

the Spencers.

So everyone assumed Kate would make a deliberate choice of the competitors this time.

However, after browsing through all those elites, she shook her head again, “None.”

This time, Nathaniel, including those elites, was totally irritated.

Though she was from a royal family in Valenham, her seemingly prideful attitude still exasperated

them.

What was more, she had just returned to the Spencers, before which she was only a common rich lady

from the Lawson Family.

Seeing that, Kate sneered, “What? You are upset, right? All of you deem yourselves undefeatable,

huh?”

Nathaniel refuted while trying hard to suppress his anger, “Miss Spencer, with all due respect, could

you please explain to me how you define a qualified competitor for the Assembly from your

perspective?”

Obviously, he was simply complaining about it.

However, Kate smiled to reply, “Alright, now all of you are free to dismiss yourselves. To be honest,

none of you reach my qualification.”

Hearing that, even Keegan felt a bit agitated.

What she said actually appeared more aggressive than that from the immediate peers of the Spencers.

After a short pause, Nathaniel huffed, “Alright, Miss Spencer, though we ain’t good enough, I am sure

we could still meet the needs of others. But Miss Spencer, I wonder who you are going to turn to?”

Kate nodded, “Alright, if you wanna know, just give me a ride to the building of J Group. I mean the

branch office of Atlas in Hopkins.”

Emmanuel paused for a second. It suddenly occurred to him that just a few days ago, two members of

the Association were having a quarrel with someone in the branch office of Atlas.

But he remained silent still. Then he followed Kate to the J Group.

Meanwhile, Leo was dealing with paperwork.

Caroline walked in, “Mr. Cohen, there is a guest expecting you.”

He frowned, “But I don’t have any appointment today, I suppose.”

Caroline added, “She told me her name is Kate Spencer.”
