Chapter 234: Paul Quinlan’s Fate!
“…”
The entire courtyard was silent.
It was as if someone had pressed the mute button on everyone, and they all stared at the thin young woman in astonishment and disbelief.
Disregarding how astonished Jordan and Mrs. Hoffman—who had already suspected a thing or two a long time ago—were, even Paul was so shocked that he had all but forgotten the pain he was feeling.
She was the Quinn School of Martial Arts’ Big Sister?
How… how could that be?!
A mere girlie…
Master often said that Big Sister had been painstakingly training in martial arts for 25 years, but didn’t the girl in front of them at the moment look like she was barely past twenty?
Was she already training in martial arts while she was in her mother’s womb?
How would he know that back then, when Quinn was struggling to find his successor, yet the Irvin School of Martial Arts had been a step ahead of him and taken Justin—who had the highest aptitude in martial arts in New York—with them, he had vowed to find someone on par with Justin?
How would he know that back then, while Quinn was struggling to find his successor, he had vowed to find someone on par with Justin? At the time, Irvin School of Martial Arts had been a step ahead of Quinn and had taken Justin, who had the highest aptitude in martial arts in all of New York, with them.
However, even after searching for a very long time, he simply couldn’t find anyone suitable. This continued until Yvette Anderson called him and asked if he wanted to take a disciple. At that time, he had asked, “Who is it?”
He had wanted to take Yvette as his disciple when she was young, but unfortunately, she didn’t have any aspirations in martial arts, so she had rejected him.
Later on, when Yvette grew up, he didn’t want to take her as a disciple anymore.
Now that Yvette was the one bringing the topic up, he was very curious—who was it that Yvette had seen potential in and was sending to him?
The next moment, Yvette answered, “It’s my daughter.”
“…”
Her answer had made Quinn dumbfounded at that time. “I haven’t even met her before. How would I know whether she has a good aptitude or not?”
Yvette replied, “It’s better than mine.”
“… Okay, I’ll take her!” A panicked Quinn immediately shouted, lest someone snatched her away if he was even a second late.
“Okay. I’ll get her to contact you three years later.”
An anxious Quinn said, “Why do we have to wait three years for it? Martial arts training should start early, preferably right away. How old is your daughter? The best age for one to learn martial arts is between three to six years old. You’d better not delay the child’s learning!”
Yvette sounded very calm as she replied, “Oh, she’s negative six-months-old right now.”
Quinn, “?”
He was bewildered. “What do you mean?”
“Why are you so stupid, old man? It means there are still six months before she’ll be born!”
Quinn, “…”
At that time, Yvette had already disappeared from New York for two years.
Quinn panicked. He asked, “Are you lying to me? How would you know whether the aptitude of a baby, that hasn’t even been born yet, would be good or not?”
“Don’t worry. I will groom her from this point on. There won’t be any problem at all. Even if you don’t believe in yourself, don’t you believe in me?”
Thus was Quinn fooled by her.
From then on, he finally had a disciple of direct lineage. Quinn, who was already in his fifties then, became terribly excited. Justin, who had joined the Irvin School of Martial Arts, was just a one-year-old baby at that time.
No matter what, they would have to wait until he was two or three years old to learn martial arts. In order to be a step faster than the Irvin School of Martial Arts, he straight-up announced to everyone that he had already found the Quinn School of Martial Arts’ Big Sister, and was secretly training her! This was how it ended up giving everyone the illusion that Big Sister had been practicing martial arts for 25 years.
Three years later, when Nora was a little over two years old, someone contacted him and told him where she was.
He rushed to California right away.
