Female Novel
Chapter 322
Scared by his father’s snappish retort, Gunnar shut up, and he heaved a sigh of relief after his fatherwas gone. He clenched his fists tightly, jealousy flaring in his eyes. “Why, Thomas? You’re just a punyretired special force unit. How’d you get so many bigshots helping you out? What makes you think youcan take anything away from me?” He was green with envy.
In fact, Gunnar had looked into Thomas’ background. Thomas was still his romantic rival, so he wouldlook into everything he could about Thomas. Thomas was just a loser born to a regular family, or atleast that was how it was at first, but now he had to re-evaluate this man.
Quincy alone was serious. Even though he’d been under the radar for many years, his connectionswere still strong, and he was still a force to be reckoned with, at least in this nation. Not to mentionJohn and Samuel were aiding Thomas as well. To be honest, Gunnar didn’t think he would have thekind of power or status needed to enlist these men’s help.
So how did Thomas do it? How’d the loser manage something I can’t? “You’re mine, Olivia. You’renever escaping me.”
John and the others finally realized what was wrong after they left the manor. Wait. Why’d Kyrie stepin? He has nothing to do with this case.
No matter how much they tried, they still couldn’t figure out the answer, so they gave up. Forget it.Judging from the situation, he’s probably on our side. His grandson, especially. Guy was hostile toLeah back in the villa. They might not be related to the Travises, but they wouldn’t cross someone whoalso hated Leah.
On the other hand, Olivia was taken back to the Travis Residence. Kyrie asked Gwen Holden—Colby’swife—to take care of her. Gwen was just a few years older than Olivia, and she was a woman, makingher the perfect fit to take care of Olivia.
Kyrie told his grandson, “Tell our men to look into Thomas’ case. Find out what his background is.”
Thomas’ appearance piqued the man’s interest. The reason he showed up all of a sudden wasbecause the descendant of an old friend gave him a call. They told him about their request, and in asingle phone call, they mentioned Thomas five times. Kyrie knew that the person only asked him tohelp out because of Thomas.
“Yes, Grandpa.” Colby went to do his job.novelbin
The night went by. By the next morning, Colby came back with a file about Thomas. “Here you go,Grandpa. Everything about Thomas.”
Kyrie nodded and took the file to peruse. Half an hour later, Kyrie put the file down, falling into histhoughts. This young man is more than meets the eye. “He’s friends with Quincy? And the Mortons,Peralta Family, and Elliotts are close to him too? And my old friend’s descendant seems to be heavilyinvested in him as well. Who is he?”
“Calm down, Grandpa. Something more surprising is coming,” said Colby softly.
“What do you mean?” Kyrie’s interest was piqued. His network alone is impressive enough. Does hehave something more impressive?
“You must know of the Six Greatest Families of Irieson, right. My men have looked into it, and theyfound out that Thomas was the one who killed the de facto leader, family head, and martial arts expertof the Pearson Family. The Pearson Family is now in dire straits, powerless and weakened. The HindFamily is in even worse conditions. All their core family members are dead, and their businesses aretaken over. Thomas was also the one who did this.”
Colby took a deep breath. He, too, was shocked when he first heard the news, and his interest andcuriosity were piqued. He’s great. Stomped the six families all by himself and took out two of them. This
is incredible.
“And he was the one who killed the infamous Minacia Oito, but he did a clean job and left barely anytrace behind. The Hinds, Yams, and Xalmars have been looking into it for a while, but they still can’tfind any evidence that he did it.” And we’d have been fooled as well if not for our family’s might.

“Job well done.” Kyrie had nothing but praise to give. He, too, had heard of the infamous Minacia Oito.It was surprising that Thomas was the one who killed them, but still, that was a menace taken care of.“Are you sure he did it alone? Quincy and the others didn’t help?”
Confidently, Colby said, “Yes. He did it alone. Someone else might’ve helped, but he did most of thejob.”
A beautiful voice said to them, “Honey, Kyrie, the lady has woken up.” She was none other than Gwen,the one caring for Olivia.
Kyrie and Colby nodded, after which they followed Gwen to the room where Olivia was in.
Olivia turned and looked at them cautiously, fear flaring in her eyes. “Who are you? What is this place?”She remembered being together with her grandfather. So, who are these people? And where’sGrandpa?
Kyrie smiled. “Worry not, Miss Pearson. We mean you no harm. We’re in Capitalis. I am Kyrie Travis,and this is my grandson and his wife, Colby and Gwen.”
“I’m in Capitalis?” Olivia’s eyes went wide. Irieson was a slightly remote city a few hundred miles awayfrom Capitalis. A flight alone would take three hours. Did I get abducted by aliens? How else did I get toCapitalis after a little nap? And I didn’t even notice it.
Kyrie wasn’t surprised by that reaction. Olivia was only taken to Capitalis after Harrison drugged her. Ofcourse she was surprised. With nothing to hide, Kyrie told her everything, but he simplified things.
Once he was done, a heart-wrenching cry broke the air.
