Keira froze for a moment, frowning slightly as she asked, "Oh? What's up?"

The voice on the other end was female, altered through a voice changer. She laughed and said, "You're the one who took Professor Barry Brandt, aren't you?"

Keira raised an eyebrow. "What if I did? And what if I didn't?"

"Impressive, but not quite enough," the woman sneered. "You think just because you've got access to Crera's resources, you can compete with me? Let me tell you, I'm not some pushover in Crera."

Keira's voice remained calm. "So?"

"I'm going to absorb your faction! That's the endgame of this battle for the inheritance of the Olsen family!"

All the heirs had to compete, and the one who emerged victorious would merge the others' forces into their own, bringing this new power back to the Olsen family. No wonder the Olsens kept growing stronger over the years.

Keira felt like she was starting to understand the bigger picture. She glanced at Lewis, who had already started tracing the call.

Drawing out her words deliberately, she asked, "How exactly do you plan to merge with me? Why don't we talk about a partnership instead?"

The woman chuckled. "That's what this call is for. I know you've already teamed up with Fox, though I don't know who she is. If you help me take down Fox, I'll consider accepting your surrender."

"Take down Fox?" Keira shot a glance at Erin, who was standing a bit further away. Erin suddenly felt a chill down her spine, instinctively rubbing the back of her neck before looking over at Keira.

Keira smiled. "It's not entirely out of the question, but how do I know that once Fox is gone, you'll actually let me join you?"
