“Even though you appear calm and collected on the outside, with your gentle demeanor and lack of visible anger, if you look closely, you can still spot the small signs that give you away,” Charmaine observed.

“Are you seriously planning to keep your true identity a secret from Emyr?”

Charmaine asked, her voice flat and unflinching, “What identity do you mean?”

Keon was taken aback, unsure how to respond.

His face darkened slightly. “After Emyr came back from his injury, he didn’t just ask us to track down clues about Master Field. He also wanted me to keep an eye on someone.”

“I know. It’s a woman, right? Hasn’t he already found her?” Charmaine replied, unaffected.

Keon lowered his voice, barely a whisper. “She’s the one who owns the bullet–casing necklace. The ‘Fox‘ he used to fight alongside.”

His voice dropped further. “And Veronica, holding that necklace, is the person Emyr believes to be the Fox.”

Charmaine’s eyes widened in realization. “So that’s what’s going on.”
