My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！-CHapter 607 The Secret of the South Family

Keira also looked toward old Mr. Martin.

The ability to use the whole world as a battlefield for their candidates indicated that the strength of the South family should not be underestimated.

But even the most powerful tycoons or powerful countries had some reputation. What could the South family, unheard of by ordinary people, possibly have that attracts the top echelons of the globe?

Seeing that both were looking at him, old Mr. Martin gave a wry smile. "The South family has a secret."

Keira's eyes suddenly lit up. "What is it?"

Old Mr. Martin said, "They can foresee the future."

Keira didn't see that coming.

She was stunned.

She even wondered if she had heard wrong.

Had she just confirmed her belief that there was simply no such thing as fantasy in this world, only for old Mr. Martin to deal her a heavy blow?

To foresee the future… What the hell was that?

Keira frowned, suddenly feeling the South family was like some charlatan.

As if reading her mind, old Mr. Martin laughed. "As the former Family Head of the Martin family, my thoughts are the same as yours. We're both atheists and don't believe in such claims. When I was young, I believed even more firmly that I could bring glory to my family. I wouldn't pray to any god, but the South family is different."

Keira asked, "How is it different? Stop beating around the bush."

Old Mr. Martin sighed. "Every so often, the South family releases news about the world's great families on the internet. If they say a certain family is going to rise, that family will become rich no matter what they do. If the South family says a certain tycoon is going bankrupt, that tycoon's empire could be booming until the time specified by the South family."

Keira frowned again. "That doesn't sound like foreseeing the future. Isn't the South family the reason why such things happen?"

Old Mr. Martin said, "No matter how powerful a family is, snuffing out a smaller one is easy, but the South family can make a world superpower go bankrupt or vanish, let alone globally renowned corporations and alliances."

Keira was stunned.

Old Mr. Martin smiled. "Sounds unbelievable, doesn't it? If whatever they say always happens, wouldn't they be the rulers of Earth? That's why I didn't believe it when I was young. Back then, they wanted the Martin family to join the competition for the South family's heiress, which I firmly refused."

Old Mr. Martin smiled. "However, absurdly, I spent my life proving that the South family is indeed formidable. If the Martin family didn't join them, we'd probably be annihilated, and by joining them, the future of the Martin family soared to greater heights."

Keira was slightly taken aback. "Why? How do they control the world?"

"I don't know."

Old Mr. Martin shook his head. "I've been baffled all these years. No country or any individual can control the world, but the South family has done it. It's like they used sorcery, making whatever they say come true. I've verified it over and over and am now beyond any doubt."

Those tales seemed to come out of lofty tales of fantasy, and Keira couldn't resist asking, "Then do you know where the South family is?"

"No."

Old Mr. Martin shook his head, "That's what's even more terrifying. No outsiders know the whereabouts of the powerful South family. They seem to be everywhere and are so omnipotent... I can't imagine how vast the South family's power is."

He looked toward Lewis. "You just said that the South family uses the entire globe to choose their heiresses. That's both right and wrong. You're right because that's indeed what they're doing. You're wrong because the whole world willingly serves their purposes, for all forces can benefit and grow from it."

"…"

When Keira and Lewis walked out of old Mr. Martin's study, their minds were filled with confusion and haze. freewēbnoveℓ.com

She was astonished by old Mr. Martin's words.

Old Mr. Martin was someone who had seen the world. He was a member of some foreign royalty, from a country that was well-developed and wealthy...

Such a person had seen every landscape in the world and even witnessed the rise and fall of nations over these many decades, but he was still shocked by the South family.

Keira pressed her lips together. "Do you think we can still rescue my mom from such a powerful family?"

She thought back to the question she had asked old Mr. Martin. "The inheritance rights you mentioned earlier, the winner takes over the South family, but what about the loser?"

Old Mr. Martin said, "The winner takes charge of the South family's future development; as for the losers, they either die or submit, becoming a mere breeding tool for the South family to produce the next generation."

So, her mother, Jodie South, must be among those who lost. How difficult must her days at the South family have been?!

While Keira was pondering, Lewis said, "Keira, you have to believe in one thing."

"What?"

"We can conquer fate."

Keira was taken aback.

Lewis looked at her firmly. "Moreover, the South family isn't even fate."

Keira took a deep breath and nodded, "You're right."

As the two of them walked out of the Martin residence, they happened to see Holly, who was frowning worriedly.

Keira immediately stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter?"

Holly said, "I think James's actions tonight were a bit overstep, and I'm worried about him."

Keira was taken aback, "Worried about what?"

Holly explained, "The Freeman Sect has always been the most powerful backing of the Special Division. Hence, we've always held the Freeman Sect in the highest regard. James was trying to help you tonight and suddenly pulled so many people from the Freeman Sect without the senior sister's permission. It's disrespectful to her."

Keira was perplexed.

Seeing her slightly stunned, Holly quickly added, "Keira, I'm not saying what you did was wrong. It's just that the senior sister has a lot of sway in the Special Division, and the Sect Leader is someone who could stand on equal footing with my grandfather. You can imagine her status, right? I've always revered the senior sister, and it feels like our current actions are a bit disrespectful toward her..."

Anxiously, Holly said, "Keira, how about I take you to apologize to the senior sister and clarify that we used so many people today because of an emergency so as to avoid her displeasure?"

Seeing her full of concern, Keira couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth. Looking at Holly, she suddenly asked, "Do you know what the senior sister's name is?"

Holly was bewildered, "What's her name?"
