Chapter 538
538 Chapter 537
Keira had been vigilant ever since she learned that Fox from the South family had entered Crera.
But even now, she still knew very little about Fox.
Now, she had finally found a trace of Fox.
After Susan finished speaking, there was a brief silence on the other end, followed by an electronic voice. "Idiot! You're under surveillance!"
Keira wasn't surprised that the other party was aware.
After all, the South family, who could quietly take away her mother and create a murder case in Oceanion that left everyone clueless, must be very formidable.
At least for now, Keira didn't even know which clan the other party belonged to, let alone their whereabouts.
Right now, she was merely looking for an opportunity to talk to Fox. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Susan was stunned for a moment before saying, "Sorry, Master."
Fox's electronic voice continued. "It's not your fault. Rabbit is smarter than I thought."
Rabbit?
Was that Keera's code name?
It seemed the people of the South family all had code names.
While Keira was pondering this, she heard Fox say, "Rabbit, won't you say something?"
Susan stopped talking.
Keira fell silent for a moment, then said, "Who are you?"
"Rabbit, I can't answer that question because identity itself is a form of protection for people like us. You don't know who I am, yet I know who you are—that's my advantage."
Keira was slightly taken aback.
So, was her sister so low-key in Clance because she had to protect her identity as Rabbit?
She clenched her jaw. "What on earth is the South family up to? And what exactly is your organization?"
Fox laughed. "Do you want to know all that? Then let's play a game."
Keira asked, "What kind of game?"
"You must be aware of my purpose for coming to Crera, as your guardian should have told you—other than ruining your relationships with the five major families, it's to grab Scott Martin. Whoever can marry him wins! This is the bet between you and me, so let's see who will win, shall we?"
Keira paused slightly. "The conflict with the Gill family has been resolved. Mary and Ellis have reconciled, and my relationship with the Davis family has been mended. The Freeman Sect and the Allen family also trust me. Your only trump card now is Susan, right? Are you trying to dissolve my relationship from within the Olsen family?"
"I don't know what you're talking about, but Rabbit, familial affection is the most useless thing in this world. I will show you how, one by one, your brothers will drift apart from you! Now, the game begins!"
"If it's a bet, then what's the stake?"
"You're such a cunning Rabbit. Fine, if you win, I can share the information with you. But if you lose..."
Fox paused, then suddenly laughed. "Just hand over Amy to me."
Amy was Keera's daughter!
Keira's pupils shrank sharply. "That's impossible!"
"Objections are futile, for the loser has no right to bargain. By then, you won't have the power to stop me."
Keira's eyes flashed fiercely. "Fox, I will find you! And I will kill you!"
Fox was crazy!
They incited Mrs. Spencer and Gary for the Gill family's sake—Gary didn't deserve to lose!
Human nature was the least resistant to tests.
If Mrs. Spencer hadn't been deluded by Fox, if she had given in to Gary regarding him and Nara and later found out about Nara's background... Gary and Nara might have lived happily ever after!
But Fox didn't care about these lives at all... They even went so far as to set fire to the South family. If it hadn't been for Keira's precaution, Mary and Ellis would have perished in the blaze, too!
Fox not only did these things but also set their sights on a child, something Keira could never forgive!
Fox laughed. "Well, I hope you can... Find me as soon as possible. This game is really quite fun!"
After hanging up, Susan's rustling around could be heard, but soon, there were no sounds at all.
Keira's Trojan virus was uncrackable; that meant the phone must have been physically destroyed.
Keira took off her Bluetooth headset.
Lewis approached her and asked, "How did it go? Any clues?"
Keira curved her lips into a smile. "I've got a few pieces of information."
It was as if she was explaining to Lewis and analyzing for herself:
"First, the South family members who operate outside all seem to use animal codenames. My sister's codename is Rabbit. From this, we can assume that there are many others like her and Fox in the South family! The exact number is unknown, but from what Fox said, it's clear that they probably don't know each other and only recognize codenames, keeping their real identities secret.
"Secondly, Fox just mentioned a term, 'the Guardian'. I guess this person must be the one who's been sending me messages, assigning tasks, and giving warnings. This person is specifically there to assist me, and for now, I believe they have no ill intentions.
"Also, the reason for Fox's visit to Crera wasn't merely to disrupt my relations with the five major families. Susan is their subordinate, and they only need to command from a distance. One of their actual goals in coming to Crera is to form an alliance through marriage with Scott Martin! So, this confirmed she's a woman! Another point to note, aside from Susan, is Scott Martin himself, who is also someone we should pay close attention to! Since Fox intends to marry him, she will definitely appear by his side! We can determine her identity by examining the women around Scott Martin in this period."
Lewis nodded. "I've had Tom keep someone on Scott Martin's tail. I'll have him send all the information about the women Scott Martin has been in contact with."
Keira nodded, her expression showing concern.
Seeing this, Lewis asked, "Is there something else bothering you?"
"Yeah."
Keira clenched her fists tightly. "Fox made a bet with me, saying if I lost, she would take Amy away. Why would she want to take away a child who is only three years old? I even have the feeling that Amy might be her ultimate goal this time!"
Lewis frowned, equally puzzled.
Keira shook her head, and seeing that Lewis seemed to want to say something, she quickly asked, "Do you have any clues?"
Lewis hesitated for a moment before answering, "It's not really a clue, but... have you noticed something quite incredible?"
Keira was taken aback. "What is it?"
Lewis lowered his gaze, "Based on the information we have, your grandmother, your mother, and your sister's surnames are all South, and you also used 'South' as one of your pseudonyms, which means all of you are from the South family."
Keira immediately understood. "Are you implying that Fox also has the surname South?!"
Lewis nodded.
Keira's eyes brightened instantly. "That idea is indeed interesting."
After this conversation, they got into a car that headed toward the Olsen residence.
The South residence had burned down, and there were no possessions left to pack up, so the people made their way to the Olsen residence in great numbers.
In the car.
Lewis and Keira were sitting in the backseat when Lewis's phone chimed suddenly.
He immediately took it out. "Tom has sent me the list of women who have been close to Scott Martin."
Keira quickly leaned over to look at the screen with him.
The list was straightforward.
It detailed precisely when and where Scott Martin met each woman and what their backgrounds were, allowing one to ascertain whether any of them could possibly be Fox.
They started by looking through the names on the list.
There were almost none among the women Scott Martin had met whose names contained the word "South".
Lewis scrolled down from the top. As he did, he suddenly caught sight of the word "South'" and exclaimed immediately, "Got it!"
Keira immediately looked over, but Lewis was frowning.
Keira asked, "What's wrong? Is this someone we know?"
Lewis fell silent for a moment before handing the phone to her, indicating that she should look for herself.
After seeing the name, Keira seemed to be taken by surprise as well, twitching the corner of her mouth. She noticed that the only person on the list with "South" in their name was...
