Female Novel
Chapter 1329
He was fully aware of everything that Avery and the others had done on Adieu Island.
Therefore, he was even more puzzled.
Ian was also at a loss. “After Mr. Weaver returned, his subordinates reported that they heard him mention to theGordon family that he felt something was off all along the way.”
“What was off?”
Ian shook his head. “I'm not sure about that either. But Mr. Weaver is a fighting arts fanatic. His most acute senselies in physical prowess. Throughout our journey, our encounters with others have primarily revolved aroundcombat. I suspect that what triggered his suspicion might be the combat skills of those individuals, whichdeviated from his expectations.”
At this point, he remembered something. novelbin
“By the way, when Avery was attacked at sea before, it was mentioned that those people might not be pirates.Their skills seemed more like those of people who have lived on land for a long time. He suspected that they weremembers of the Jagger family in disguise.”
Jean's eyes narrowed slightly.
“Avery suspected that the pirates were land dwellers in disguise, which made him think of the Jagger family.However, Mr. Weaver might have thought that the enemies they encountered along the way were unusuallyskilled, a peculiarity that could only be explained by them not being from the Jagger family. This led to twocontradictory speculations. So, who was right? Also, where did the last group of people from the Jagger family,who were using stealth weapons, come from? This needs to be investigated.”
Ian also had many doubts in his heart, but he nodded in acceptance of the order.
The next day, Avery was gradually improving, but his waking hours were still short, and he was somewhatgroggy.
Violet was quite worried about this. “Neenie, why is Satan always so groggy, and even when he wakes up, he'snot clear-headed. How long will this situation continue?”
Neera reassured her, “This is normal. Although I've changed his blood, there are still some toxins left in his body.The amount is very small and won't pose a threat to his health. His body just needs time to slowly metabolizethem. During this period, due to the effects of the toxins and the immune issues caused by the blood transfusion,even without any rejection, there is still a need for a period of adjustment. It's normal to feel groggy. Proper careis required. It could take as short as a week or as long as half a month for a significant recovery.”
Upon listening to that, Violet finally felt somewhat relieved.
After making sure that Avery was all right, Neera also went home to rest.
The exhaustion from the past few days had nearly broken her. Now that she had some time, she decided to takegood care of herself.
After lunch, under the gentle urging of Jean, she obediently went to sleep.
After she fell asleep, Jean quietly got up, making sure not to wake her, and went to the study.
Ian had returned with news and was already waiting there.
“Did you find anything?”
“Mr. Beauvort, just as you suspected, we indeed found some irregularities. When Avery and his team werecarrying out their mission, they encountered some pirates at sea. Some of them were indeed pirates, but otherswere not. However, they were not from the Jagger family either.”
Jean glanced at him sideways. “So, are you saying Avery was mistaken before?”
“Not exactly. Everyone in the Jagger family has been captured, and they've confessed quite a bit intermittently.Some of the attacks on the island were indeed their doing. However, some attacks, including this one at sea, werenot solely their actions. The others of the board of elders were also involved.”
This outcome didn't surprise Jean. His expression was indifferent as he silently continued to listen.
“The Jagger family, contrary to what we imagine, has not completely severed ties with Phison. The current thirdpower, the Watson family, has been secretly maintaining contact with them. It can be said that the Watson familyhas deep dealings with the Jagger family. I conducted a thorough investigation into the Watson family. TheWatson family's business is mainly in shipping. According to the Jagger family's statement, the Watson family hasa close relationship with the pirates. The sea attack at that time was ordered by the Watson family, incollaboration with the Jagger family.”
“Besides the Watson family, what are the other influential forces?” Jean asked, leaning back in his chair.
“The forces of the fourth elder and the seventh elder have also gotten involved. They have a very goodrelationship with the Watson family and want a piece of the action this time.”
After a moment of contemplation, Jean summarized the information he had brought.
“In other words, the Jagger family and the Watson family have been collaborating. The Watson family also has aclose relationship with the forces of the fourth elder and the seventh elder. These four families have joined forces,colluding with pirates, hoping to take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate Avery, thereby destroying theCox family.”
Ian nodded. “That's right.”
“Who does the last group that emerged from the Jagger residence belong to, then?”
“They are from the Watson family. They didn't move there temporarily but have been living on Adieu Island allalong. They were likely sent by the Watson family to serve as a bridge for communication with the Jagger family.They were there to help but also to subtly keep an eye on things. Unexpectedly, they ended up becoming theJagger family's final trump card.”
“Have those people been caught?”
At this point, Ian's expression looked somewhat helpless.
“They were all death guards of the Watson family, planted on Adieu Island. In the event of any mishap, theywould choose death immediately. When the Cox family was dealing with the Jagger family, these people senseddanger. They had already bitten into the poison hidden in their teeth. By the time the Cox family realized it, theyhad all stopped breathing. No one was left alive.”
