Chapter 1288

"Are you doubting me?"

"It's not about doubting, Mr. Wesley. It's just that you're the only one who knows the secrets of the Four Great Families. We're at our wit's end here, so we came to ask you... You wouldn't keep us in the dark, would you?"

Wesley could tell Sophie and Colby weren't planning to leave without some answers. Sighing deeply, he said, "Alright, have a seat."

Sophie and Colby exchanged a quick glance before sitting opposite Wesley.

They were just four passionate young men a hundred years ago who made a name for themselves with their enthusiasm. Devonport holds no treasure, so you can stop your search."

"If the Four Great Families really had no secrets and Devonport had no treasure, then the person behind all this wouldn't have spent years plotting, causing so many deaths, and setting such an elaborate trap," Sophie countered.

"Mr. Wesley, we're not naive. The secrets of the Four Great Families and Devonport matter a lot to us."
