Chapter 331
The Guardians spent quite a while processing Miranda’s recent showdown. Then they called up that wayward grandson of theirs and gave him a thorough earful.
While they were at it, they made a few other calls, essentially smoothing things over for Miranda. Seriously, who’d be foolish enough to mess with Larry’s lifesaver?
Anyone who dared lay a finger on Miranda was basically signing their own death warrant. And not just their own, but potentially dragging their whole family down with them.
In a way, Miranda had become as important as a high–ranking official in the government. What’s more, she was about to become the lifesaver of more than just Larry.
But honestly, even if they hadn’t stepped in, Miranda had the military watching her back. As long as she wasn’t doing anything wildly immoral, they’d cover for her.

with those two parties yet, Miranda’s protection was non–stop. From the moment she arrived from Zephra, there had been people keeping an eye on her. After all, foreign interests were still watching her closely.
But since she moved into Virell, those watchers had diminished. Probably because Virell, being the capital, had an immensely strong security system already in place.
When Miranda finally got a moment to rest, she found five old men staring intently at her. They were curiously sizing her up from head to toe.
Miranda couldn’t help but ask, “What are you guys staring at?”
“Can’t quite see how you’re a martial arts prodigy?”
“Yeah, with those skinny arms and legs.”
The five old men circled around her, full of curiosity. Even Larry, who knew her well, couldn’t hide his curiosity. Those young men had all been trained. And yet Miranda, a young woman, had managed to take them down? Miranda was speechless. She wasn’t a martial arts prodigy; she just dabbled in a bit of everything.
The main thing was, her body had been honed to have a heightened sense of perception and strength beyond ordinary limits.
When her opponents threw punches, to her, it was like they were moving in slow motion. So she could react at lightning speed. As for her own attacks, it was like a surgeon with a scalpel, capable of precision at her whim.
She had trained her body too, of course. Without a strong physique and stamina, she wouldn’t be able to reach the explosive power and speed she desired.
It was just the limits of this body had surprised her. Especially recently, she felt a growing reservoir of power within her, raising her potential even higher. She couldn’t even gauge her own limits anymore.
“Ahem, are we going to do this or not?” Miranda raised a serious eyebrow.
“If you want treatment, sit tight.”
Her words worked like a charm. The four old men, apart from Larry, quickly took their seats. Their speed was impressive. They sat like students awaiting a teacher’s lecture.
Once they were settled, they looked a bit tense. Mr. Paisley asked, “Should we maybe go one at a time? Can you handle all four of us at once?”
Larry also inquired cautiously, “Yeah, kiddo, last time it took quite a while just for me. Is treating all four, at

once, too much?”
