Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez

Chapter 481

Yvette narrowed her dark eyes a bit, lifting her eyelids, her eyes as clear as water and bright as stars. She said plainly, "Kash will win."

Just then, Jeremiah finished peeling an apple and placed the whole peel on the table. Emmett glanced at it, marveling at how Jeremiah, who never used to peel apples, had become so proficient at it for Yvette. The apple peel looked like a piece of art, truly fitting his skill. Jeremiah handed the peeled apple to Yvette and glanced at Samantha, Charles, and Emmett. "Even though the Eagle King is powerful in ancient combat power when it comes to pure physical strength and stamina, Kash is much better. In a bare-handed fight, without using inner energy, the Eagle King is bound to lose."

Samantha continued, "What if the Eagle King uses his ancient combat power?"

Yvette took a bite of the apple, crossed her legs, and stretched comfortably. She casually said, "It's evenly matched, but the Eagle King has a slight advantage."

Ancient combat techniques had always been quite mysterious and were almost lost to time, with very few practitioners. The ancient combat techniques focused on calming the mind and concentrating energy, similar to the inner strength practiced by ancient people. The stronger the ancient combat power became, the deeper the internal strength was.

To train in ancient combat techniques, many were disqualified from the start due to their physique. Furthermore, the more advanced techniques were hidden within busy city sects or passed down in families that had guarded them for centuries. Only a few individuals had the privilege to learn these skills, and such knowledge was rarely shared outside.

Jeremiah was sent at a young age by Jase to the Watwoz to train for five years, inheriting generations of dedication and top-level ancient combat techniques.

Emmett was adopted by the Chavez family from a young age, primarily because his one-in-a-million physique made him an ideal candidate for practicing ancient combat power. As a result, Jase and Jeremiah sent him to train in these skills.

Eagle King had an incredible stroke of luck. As a child, he begged alongside an old beggar, who turned out to be an ancient combat expert, imparting ancient combat techniques to him, shaping the Eagle King everyone knew today.

In today's age of modern weaponry, with missiles, rockets, bombs, and machine guns having so much power, ancient combat power might seem less important. However, those who had truly practiced understood its true value.

Compared to regular people, those who practice ancient combat power could easily live twenty years longer than the average person. They were generally healthy, with their organs sustained by their ancient combat breathing techniques, making them even less likely to suffer from any major illnesses.

Moreover, without weapons, someone skilled in ancient combat power could take on hundreds or even thousands of opponents. For experts like Yvette and Jeremiah, facing ten thousand people was not out of the question.

Jeremiah turned to Yvette and asked a question he had long been curious about, "Who taught you your ancient combat techniques?"

Yvette's strength in ancient combat power was profound, typically achievable only through training from an old family or prestigious sect.

Charles, Emmett, and Samantha unconsciously sat up straighter. Sitting there, they looked like employees waiting for their boss, Yvette, to start the meeting, always feeling she might drop another jaw-dropping bombshell. Yvette turned her head and glanced at Jeremiah. Her eyes, as dark as a cold, met his gaze, clear like crystal and shining with soft starlight, profound and mysterious,

Her voice remained cool and steady as always. "It's something natural. I've been able to sense the ancient combat power

within me since I was three.".

This was why Yvette had been using candy all these years to suppress the energy within her. She was naturally born with a very strong ancient combat power.

When she was younger, she didn't know how to control it, which led to a few wild days each month. But as she grew up, she gradually started developing her way of managing it.

By a twist of fate, she met Silas and learned to make potions. She began using these potions to suppress her deep ancient combat power and mixed them into vanilla toffees.

Everyone was eager to learn about ancient combat power. Some of them even practiced for their entire lives but never reached the highest level. However, Yvette was born with it and spent each day trying to keep it under control. Yvette knew that her ancient combat power was likely connected to Lilian. Lilian seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. Despite all her efforts over the years, she could not find a single trace of her.

Back then, Lilian gave birth to her and left her at an orphanage, leaving only a letter explaining her origins before disappearing completely. It was as if this person never existed in the world at all.

'What kind of person can disappear so completely that not even bones can be found?' Yvette lowered her gaze, a cold glimmer appeared in her eyes, an impenetrable heaviness.

When they returned from Mysonna, they should visit the director of the biology lab, Rashad, in Betrico. Yvette mentioned it casually, but Emmett, Samantha, and Charles were too shocked to say a word. They knew they shouldn't have asked. Asking would just show the difference between Yvette and others.

Charles was all right since he grew up in Mysonna and had only heard about ancient combat power but didn't know much about them. But even he knew that the idea of being born with such mystical power was just a myth. Every day, they would ask in their hearts, 'Is Yvette even human

Emmett trembled as he picked up a glass of water and took a couple of sips. He needed to calm down.

After following Jeremiah at Watwoz for so many years, the phrase most often heard was someone praising Jeremiah's extraordinary talent. They said his five years of training could match twenty years of others, making him an ancient combat genius.

Now when Yvette claimed she was born with ancient combat power, anyone else would be skeptical, but if Yvette said it, he couldn't help but believe her.

It was also Emmett's first time admitting someone could be born with ancient combat power. He was convinced that, in this lifetime, Yvette might be the only special case he would ever meet.

Samantha slowly and painfully turned her body. In families like theirs, they would start special tests from the age of two to see if they were suitable for practicing ancient combat power.

If they were deemed suitable, they would use all their connections to send them for training by prominent families. Both she and Andrew had undergone the tests, and the results were clear. Neither of them was fit for it. She ended up learning taekwondo, while Andrew gave up completely.

By now, Samantha's feelings toward Yvette had gone beyond simple admiration. She wanted to invite her home every day and almost worship her. She decided that when she got pregnant she would stick by Yvette's side for twelve hours a day.

At the very least, just being around Yvette might let her absorb some of her mystical energy, and maybe her next generation could pick up some ancient combat power techniques.

Jeremiah stared at Yvette. His eyebrows rose attractively, and his gaze was deep, as profound as the night.

Unlike Emmett and the others, Jeremiah immediately thought of Yvette's mother when he heard her speak. Lilian mysteriously vanished without a trace.

After meeting Yvette, he tried to use his connections to locate the missing person. At least he could give Yvette some closure, whether she was alive or not. But all that effort yielded no clue.

If Yvette was born with such strong ancient combat power, it could only mean that her mother was truly incredible.
