Neera, who still couldn’t quite figure out what was on his mind, watched his retreating figure intently.

Eventually, Finnley shouted irritably as he could no longer hold it back. “Hurry up and serve me a bowl
of oatmeal!” Only then did she break into a delighted smile and quickly followed him.
Inside the restaurant, Neera carefully prepared a bowl of oatmeal and presented it to Finnley like a
treasured offering. “Finnley, try it while it’s hot. I guarantee you’ll be satisfied with my cooking skills!”
Finnley, still looking rather unhappy, picked up his bowl. After taking a sip, his eyes instantly lit up.
“Did you make this?” he asked after taking another two sips.
Neera smiled. “Of course.”
Finnley regarded her with suspicion before falling into silence. He picked up his bowl and started to eat
his oatmeal with deep, concentrated focus.
Even though he wasn’t content after finishing the meal, he felt the need to uphold an air of authority.
He wiped his mouth, maintained a stern face, and began to reprimand her.
“Don’t get carried away just because you’ve grasped some basics. Don’t you dare start acting all high
and mighty and disregard my advice. I asked you to come over and continue practicing, but you didn’t
even bother to pay me a visit. It’s almost as if you’ve forgotten that I’m your mentor.” He let out a cold
snort and added, “I’ve never encountered a disciple who behaved the way you have!”
Neera could only humbly accept his reprimand and play to his tune. “You’re absolutely right. It’s all my
fault. I promise I won’t make the same mistake again, and I’ll definitely heed your words.”
Feeling the sincerity in her apology, Finnley chose not to dwell on it any longer. After saying a few more
words, he pointed at the empty bowl and requested, “Is there more of this? Get me another bowl.”
Delighted, Neera quickly did as instructed.
Finnley contentedly sipped another bowl of oatmeal before scrutinizing the man in front of him.
“Who are you?” he asked. “What’s your relationship with my disciple?”
With a slight smirk playing on his lips, Jean responded in a soft voice, “Hi, nice to meet you for the first
time. My name is Jean Beauvort, Neera’s fiancé.”
Finnley murmured, “Oh
so you’re her real fiancé. What brings you here?”
Jean smiled fajntly. “I came to see Neera, of course. We’ve been apart for a long time, and I’ve missed
her dearly.”
“Why are you young people always behaving so affectionately? I can’t stand it.” With a pout, Finnley
muttered under his breath, then swept his gaze around, pointing at the three children next to him.
He then continued asking Neera, “And where did these three come from?”
His question rendered Neera speechless for a moment. What does he mean where did they come
from? They’re not fruits!

“They are my children, and Jean is their father. This is Harvey, Sammy, and our little daughter, Penny.”
She introduced each one to Finnley, then turned to the three little ones. “This is Mr. Weaver, who taught
me/combat arts. You can also call him Mr. Weaver.”
The well-behaved children greeted Finnley in their soft and cute voices, “Hello, Mr. Weaver.”
Finnley blinked, glancing at Neera before turning his attention to Jean. “They really are your children.
The boys resemble their father, and the girl takes after you. So the whole family is here in Phison, huh?
Neera, don’t let success go to your head. You’ve only just begun to make a name for yourself, and
you’re already in the limelight. It’s a bit much.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the children immediately stood up for Neera. “Mommy didn’t bring us
here. We pleaded with Grandaunt and Granduncle to take us here. Daddy also came without notice
just to give Mommy a surprise, so he could stay by Mommy’s side!”
Finnley’s eyes widened with childlike curiosity as he honed in on the main point and asked,
“Granduncle? Is Chad here as well?”
Neera nodded in response. “Yes, Uncle Chad brought them here.”
Finnley was delighted. “Great! That young man has finally returned. It’s been quite a while since I last
saw him. Tell him to come and see me when he’s available!”
Neera had a sudden realization that Finnley’s connection with Chad was certainly out of the ordinary.
She offered a faint smile in agreement.
Amid all the commotion, Finnley simply put aside the issue of her absence from training.
Patting his belly contentedly, he finally got down to business. “All right, tell me. What brings you here all
of a -sudden today?!
Caught off guard by his blunt question, Neera felt a bit embarrassed to answer. Clearing her throat, she
responded vaguely, “It’s nothing really…”
The elderly man glared at her, refusing to believe. “You’ve been gone for quite some time, not showing
up for practice, and now you remember me all of a sudden. What’s going on? Since you’re here, don’t
waste time. Tell me what’s on your mind. I dislike people who beat around the bush.”
Neera had no choice but to come clean. She let out an awkward chuckle before explaining the reason
for her visit. “Mr. Weaver, I have a favor to ask. The union has assigned the Cox family a task, and
you’re aware of that, aren’t you?”
With his eyes half-closed, Finnley casually responded while stroking his favorite beard. “Yeah, I’ve
heard about it. The Cox family is supposed to reclaim the Jagger family’s Adieu Island. It’s quite a big
deal, and it has become the talk of the town. The young lads who came to my fighting arts center were
all distracted, completely engrossed in this matter. I had to give them a good scolding before they
started behaving.”
Whenever the topic of combat arts came up, Finnley always had plenty to share.
