My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

Holly said, "Follow me."

Keira trailed behind her, and the two made their way to the archive room.

Holly explained, "The materials in this archive room can't be borrowed or taken outside, so you'll have to read them here."

Upon hearing this, Keira was slightly startled. "What exactly is this Special Division?"

How had she never heard of it before?

Holly said, "On the surface, our department deals with the grievances and disputes of powerful families, but in private, we handle some strange cases, including matters involving mysterious entities."

"Mysterious entities?"

Keira asked in surprise, "Are there things in this world that science can't explain?"

Holly immediately said, "What are you talking about? We don't believe in ghosts. It's the twenty-first century. How could you think like that?"

Keira couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth. It wasn't her fault. Who would have expected her to encounter such a mysterious family as the South family?

They were enigmatic and elusive, undetectable even by the global navigation satellite system. Uncle Olsen and Lewis had sought international forces and still found no trace of such a family's existence.

But considering what Vera said, if living in a technologically advanced place like Crera was called "exile", how high-end must the South family be?

Did they live in the realm of immortals?

She wasn't living in some fantasy world, was she? Would she have to cultivate to transcend worlds and save her mother? That would be absurd.

As Keira's thoughts ran wild, Holly said, "Actually, there are many mysterious forces in the world. The Earth is vast, and humans have such a long history. There are certainly mysterious families like the South family..."

She explained, "Everything irrational in this world can be explained by science. Don't let your thoughts wander."

Keira nodded, realizing she might have let her imagination run too wild.

The fact that the South family's location remained undiscovered could simply be due to their sophisticated shielding system preventing outside detection.

She had only lived for a little over twenty years and had never encountered such a mysterious family. As a result, she almost mythologized the South family.

With these thoughts, Keira followed Holly into the archive room.

Holly was familiar with the place, so she led Keira straight to the archives concerning the South family and handed Keira the files.

A fine layer of dust covered the file, evidence that it had been undisturbed for years.

Keira immediately opened it and saw that the records of the South family started from a hundred years ago.

She paused for a moment.

Crera hadn't even been founded for a hundred years yet!

As she pondered this, Holly began to speak of the history of the Special Division. "In fact, the Special Division was established a hundred years ago. At that time, it was just a civilian organization seeking a way out for Crera and recording certain matters for our ancestors. Later, all the recordings were handed over to the officials, and the division came under official management... Our family has a special status in the Special Division because my great-grandfather founded it. The government trusts us, and so for each generation, the leadership of the Special Division has been held by our family members. Now, it's my grandfather, and previously, my father chose to become a forensic doctor to avoid conflict of interest. He doesn't wish to take over the Special Division anymore."

Keira understood and nodded.

She had previously thought of Holly as coming from a family of forensic doctors, never expecting such a background.

She continued reading.

In records from a hundred years ago, there was only one sentence. "The South family is an ancient family; if we could gain their help, we would have hope. Unfortunately, we cannot contact them."

Keira kept flipping through the pages, finding entries every five years or so. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

The South family appeared, but they only passed through Crera before leaving.

The South family surfaced again, and they seemed to be interested in Crera.

Then came a record from more than forty years ago. It seemed that someone from the South family had come to Crera!

The records about the South family became fewer as time went by, as if the family had vanished into the long river of history, from being initially deemed formidable to gradually becoming obscure.

Keira looked at the thin notebook.

The Special Division had purposefully used this method of record-keeping for a unique existence as the South family. Other similar instances included things like the royal family of Country Y.

Keira stared at the notebook in her hands, reassessing her knowledge of the South family.

After putting the file back on the shelf, Holly looked at Keira and said, "What kind of background does this South family have? They seem especially mysterious."

Keira shook her head. "I don't know."

Holly then asked, "Your sister was part of the South family, and they captured your mother. Why aren't you part of the South family? Why are they trying to kill you?"

Keira tensed her jaw. She also wanted to ask that question.

She had never understood; the only possibility was that perhaps Keera was once taken away by someone from the South family.

Jodie South had hidden in Oceanion for so many years. Was she trying to do the same as Keera, leading a low-profile life to avoid such disputes?

The specific details still required meeting Jodie South or waiting to capture the real Fox to clarify!

Keira looked at Holly. "Let's go."

Holly nodded, and the two prepared to leave. Just as they turned around, Keira suddenly caught sight of a document on the shelf.

She immediately paused in her steps.

Holly followed her gaze and, upon seeing the sealed document, explained, "That's the Freeman Sect, the strong reinforcements for the Special Division."

Keira was taken aback and asked incredulously. "What did you say?"

Her expression became a bit indescribable.

Holly explained, "This is a secret of the Special Division and hasn't been disclosed publicly. The Special Division often has to execute special missions, and sometimes, when short-staffed, the Freeman Sect is our strongest external support. Their direct lineage disciples are considered our integrated personnel. The martial arts of the Freeman Sect are very powerful; you must have heard about them since you've been in Clance for so long, right?"

Keira tugged at the corner of her mouth. "I've indeed heard about them."

She, the senior sister of the Freeman Sect, didn't even know that she was considered integrated personnel of the Special Division!

No wonder the Sect Leader was so cautious when she once told him to register the leading sister's name as Keera.

She had thought that the Freeman Sect's internal roster was very important, not realizing that those from the Inner Sect, especially the disciples of the Sect Leader, could be part of the Special Division!

No wonder the Sect Leader was so careful.

However, later on, because of the Gill family, she ended up blowing her cover, and as a result, the name Keera was now that of the senior sister of the Freeman Sect...

As Holly led Keira out, she said, "But this is the list that was submitted last time. They said their senior sister had come back, but they hadn't had time to add her name yet. Their Sect Leader speaks highly of this senior sister; sometimes, I wonder what kind of formidable figure she is."

Keira tugged at the corner of her mouth, "She's alright, I guess?"

Holly said, "Here's the thing. The Freeman Sect is very strict in selecting disciples, and it's said that it took the Sect Leader twenty years to choose their senior sister. If only I could perform a mission with her... I just don't know her name."

Following behind Holly, Keira heard this and coughed. "Well, actually, I am her."
