634 Chapter 633
Keira sat before Vera, looking as if she had everything under control. Vera was bewildered, feeling completely puzzled. âHow could you possibly win? They even hired King, the Boxing Champion, one of the strongest fighters in the world today!â
Keira watched her quietly without saying a word. Next to her, Lewis said, âBecause sheâs the senior sister of the Freeman Sect.â
âWhat?!â Vera was even more bewildered; she stared at Keira incredulously. âThatâs impossible⊠How could that be?â
Keira looked at her. âWhy is it impossible?â
Vera stared at her. âIn the Crera region, there are only two people from the South family, Fox and Rabbit. Since Iâve pledged allegiance to Fox, Iâve also investigated Rabbit. Rabbit has a mild character, has never been outstanding in anything since a young age, and even has a daughter. Sheâs nothing like you!â
Keira thought of her sister, Keera, and her gaze softened. âYouâve investigated me, but have you ever considered that all of this could be a false front I put up?â
Veraâs eyes narrowed. âI get it now; youâve deceived everyone. Rabbit, youâre so cunning! When the South family chooses our code names, they usually pick them based on our personality while living with the South family. Looking at you now, you shouldnât be Rabbit; you should be Fox! Your thoughts are even harder to guess than Foxâs! To think youâve deceived even the South family and your own parents⊠No, to you, they are probably your foster parents. You are terrifying!â
Keira frowned at these words. She stared at Vera, her expression grave and composed. âStop talking nonsense. Now tell me, where is the entrance to the South family?â
Hearing this, Vera turned her head sharply and scoffed. âI could tell you, but even if I did, you probably wouldnât be able to get in!â
âWhy not?â
Vera looked at her. âThe South family has never closed its doors to us; itâs just that the door only opens once every three months, and each time it stays open for only seven days. The last time it opened was a month and a half ago, and the time before that was four and a half months ago. So, to go to the South family again, youâll have to wait another month and a half.â
Keiraâs brow furrowed. The last time the South family had opened its doors was four and a half months agoâŠ
Four and a half months ago, she and her sister were attacked at sea in Oceanion, and afterward, her mother was taken away by the South family. The timing matched exactly!
Keira immediately looked toward Vera. âWhat do you mean by opening the doors? Where exactly is the South family? What kind of door can block all the detection?â
Vera laughed mockingly upon hearing this. âYou really donât understand, do you, Rabbit? Do you think you could have meticulously laid out all these plans? If you knew nothing about the South family, how could you hide your true strength?â
She stared at Keira. âI sense conflict in you; the person you seem to be doesnât match the terrifying actions you have taken.â
Keira fixed her gaze on Vera. âI donât have time for your nonsense. Answer my question.â
Vera laughed. âAlright then, Iâll tell you.â
She looked directly into Keiraâs eyes and slowly said, âDo you think that we, the people of the South family, actually know the location? No one in this world knows the exact location of the South family! Whenever we return home, we first have to apply to the family, and then someone will come to take us away. We wear blindfolds the whole way, so we have no idea where we are going⊠When we get home, the blindfold is taken off.â
Hearing that, Keira couldnât help but feel that the South family was so meticulous!
Was it a measure to prevent someone who no longer wished to compete or who had developed enough power outside from waging war on the South family? Even the South familyâs own people were kept in the darkâŠ
As Keira was pondering this, Vera said. âHowever, Rabbit, as far as I know, itâs been many years since youâve been home. Even if we, the children wandering outside, donât return home, our parents would call us back. Havenât your foster parents called for you in all these years?â
Keira didnât know. Had Keera been called back and declined, or had her foster parents never called for her at all?
Keira took a deep breath and walked out the door. She went outside and made a phone call to Matthew.
Matthew picked up almost immediately. âKeira, whatâs the matter?â
Keira inquired, âWhat exactly happened with my sister? What was her situation in the South family when she was young?â
She felt her mind was in disarray.
With a sigh, Matthew said, âIâm not very clear on the details.â
Keira cut him off, âThen tell me everything you know!â
