The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1329

He was fully aware of everything that Avery and the others had done on Adieu Island.

Therefore, he was even more puzzled.

lan was also at a loss. “After Mr. Weaver returned, his subordinates reported that they heard him mention to the Gordon family that he felt something was off all along the way.”

“What was off?”

lan shook his head. “I’m not sure about that either. But Mr. Weaver is a fighting arts fanatic. His most acute sense lies in physical prowess. Throughout our journey, our encounters with others have primarily revolved around combat. I suspect that what triggered his suspicion might be the combat skills of those individuals, which deviated from his expectations.”

At this point, he remembered something.

“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 were members 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 unusually skilled, a peculiarity that could only be explained by them not being from the Jagger family. This led to two contradictory 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.”

lan 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 somewhat groggy.

Violet was quite worried about this. “Neenie, why is Satan always so groggy, and even when he wakes up, he’s not 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 metabolize them. 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 care is 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. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

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 take good 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.

lan 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 were carrying out their mission, they encountered some pirates at sea. Some of them were indeed pirates, but others were 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, were not 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 third power, the Watson family, has been secretly maintaining contact with them. It can be said that the Watson family has deep dealings with the Jagger family. I conducted a thorough investigation into the Watson family. The Watson family’s business is mainly in shipping. According to the Jagger family’s statement, the Watson family has a close relationship with the pirates. The sea attack at that time was ordered by the Watson family, in collaboration 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 good relationship 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 a close 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 the Cox family.”

lan 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 all along. 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 the Jagger family’s final trump card.”

“Have those people been caught?”

At this point, lan’s expression looked somewhat helpless.

“They were all death guards of the Watson family, planted on Adieu Island. In the event of any mishap, they would choose death immediately. When the Cox family was dealing with the Jagger family, these people sensed danger. They had already bitten into the poison hidden in their teeth. By the time the Cox family realized it, they had all stopped breathing. No one was left alive.”
