Chapter 19 Could It Be an Undercover Agent?
Two totally different figures clashed in an instant, and the sound of sts and feet smacking together made the crowd wince and grit
their teeth.
After just a few moves, everyone was floored. It was a back–and–forth no clear winner in sight. Maya, being a disciple of Master Saul, was expected to have mad skills, but Zoey was keeping up with her, move for move. Both of them were stunning, and every move they made was like watching a dance.
Maya was getting more and more surprised. She knew Zoey was tough, otherwise, she wouldn’t have taken down those small fry. But why did her moves seem so familiar?
Zoey felt it too. They exchanged a glances and started taking each other more seriously. The more they fought, the stronger that sense of familiarity grew.
Maya blocked Zoey’s kick, crouched, and swept her leg, but Zoey dodged. Maya then altacked from a sneaky angle.
Zoey raised an eyebrow, and bent backward easily, dodging Maya’s punch, still feeling the wind from the missed hit.
They looked at each other and suddenly backed off to create some distance.
The crowd was loving the show, but then saw them separate. Just as they were wondering what was up, the two rushed at each other again at lightning speed.
Jesse had faith in Zoey, but he didn’t know squat about fighting. They were moving so fast his eyes couldn’t keep up. “Zoey won’t lose, right?” he asked.
“No.” Henry watched with a blank expression. He’d learned martial arts from his mom. Others couldn’t see it, but he knew the fight was about to end.
Terry said, “She’s gonna lose.”
Ethan’s eyes were tired from watching, but he didn’t dare rub them, afraid he’d miss something important. “Who’s gonna lose? Mor or Zoey?”
“Mrs. Phillips, Terry said bluntly.
Everyone else heard their chat and scoffed. Maya’s gonna lose? No way! This butler must be a spy!
At the same time, the two fighters suddenly separated. Maya wiped the sweat from her forehead and stared at Zory “I lost,” she said.
Dead silence.

jesse let out a breath, “Told you, Zoey would never lose.”
Terry nodded, looking at Zoey with newfound respect and admiration. It didn’t match his usual image, but no one cared right now.
In the crowd, someone muttered, “How did Maya lose?”
Maya exhaled, then smiled, her features bright and bold, her smile carefree, “Didn’t expect to see you like this. Saul actually taught you that move
Zory tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, pausing at the words, “Siul didn’t teach you?”

Maya stammered, “He did…
But she didn’t learn it.
Zoey got it. Despite his quirky personality and love of pranks, Saul was generous and taught his disciples everything he knew, never keeping his unique skills to himself.
Everyone was confused, not getting what they were talking about.
Ethan’s eyes lit up. “You two are from the same sect?:
Maya nodded, “Yep. Henry, come here.”

stiffened.
Maya saw he didn’t move and unhappily patted his broad back. “Go, w to your martial aunt. She’s my junior sister, which makes her your senior. This is a rule set by my master Soul.”
Everyone was shocked by the revelation that Zoey and Maya were Master Saul’s disciples and Henry’s fiancée was their senior.
Henry’s temple throbbed, and his throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton. He couldn’t bring himself to bow to Zoey, nor could he say anything.
Jesse reacted strongly, “No way! Zoey’s gonna he Henry’s wife! Maya don’t mess up the seniority!”
Seeing Henry’s stiff face, Zoey smiled, “Forget it, I don’t really care about these things”
“Right, my memory is terrible.” Maya slapped her forehead. At this moment, she had no prejudice against Zoey and no previous hostility, hooking her arm around Zoey’s shoulder. “Zoey, if you want marry my son, I’m cool with it, as long as you’re okay with him.”
jesse seized the opportunity. “She’s cool with it. If Zoey wasn’t okay with it, she wouldn’t have crashed the wedding. Don’t worry, your son will get married.”
Maya was relieved. “Alright then, I’ll leave Henry to you, I’m at ease
Ethan and Benjamin exchanged a glance and couldn’t help but laugh
Henry was silent. It seemed that suddenly, he had become worthless
“Zoey, I’m sorry.” Maya suddenly apologized, which shocked everyone Maya, known for her fiery temper and never admitting defeat, apologized for the first time.
Zoey waved her hand indifferently, “We can say we got to know each other through a fight
“That’s true. If I hadn’t fought you, I wouldn’t have recognized you. Maya laughed heartily, “Speaking of which, I haven’t seen Master Saul in many years. When he retired, he didn’t even leave me letter…”
Talking about this made Maya angry.
Zoey smiled, “Master Saul told me when you came back to the country.”
“Really? He didn’t contact me, how did he know I returned?”
Zoey smiled without saying a word. Maya quickly understood. After soul had an accident and chose to live in seclusion, his

, didn’t know. She had tried to find out, but if Saul wanted to hide, no
no one could
Only many years ago, she suddenly received a message. Saul said he had taken in a final and most important disciple and boasted about this disciple in the letter, then there was no more news,
Maya couldn’t help but ask, “Is he okay?”
“Don’t worry,” Zoey said.
Maya couldn’t help but worry. Soul’s health was pour then, but there were too many people around to talk freely. “Let’s go, let’s got Back to the engagement, you stay at home tonight, I have so many things to ask you.” She dragged Zory away in a hurry.
The Phillips family was used to it and followed silently. Others were stunned by the sudden change but didn’t dare to comment, just looked at Zoey differently.
Saul! A martial arts prodigy, he emerged from obscurity and vanquished all opponents, undefeated. Many sought him out, but he shunned the limelight, choosing to live in seclusion at the height of his fame. The identity of Saul’s disciple was enough to shock countless people.
Everyone returned to the hall, Maya still holding Zoey’s hand, not hiding her attitude, clearly recognizing Zoey.
Thalia had been holding back, but now she couldn’t anymore, blocking Zoey and Maya in front of everyone.
Mrs. Phillips, you said before that you wanted to engage me to Mr. Henry y Phillips, h
have you changed your mind now?”
Maya scratched her cheek, Thalia, I had Zory all wrong before, but now I see I was mistaken. You’ve been nothing but trouble.”
“Trouble?” Thalia murmured, tears streaming down her face.
Maya couldn’t stand to see women cry, flustered, “Don’t cry, we had agreed…”
“What about me?” Thalia’s eyes were red, tears on her face, “You said would be Mr. Phillips‘ fiancée, I agreed, and now you don’t want me, what am I supposed to do?”
