Vera narrowed her eyes, staring intently at Keira. "I don't know all the answers."
Keira immediately tried to soothe her. "Then just tell me what you know."
Vera said, "I have no idea what the South family relies on to predict the future. That itself is a secret held by those in power. Only after the contenders are assessed and the most excellent one is chosen will the South family pass on the ability to foresee the future. As for what they rely on to control so many noble families around the world, of course, it's their wealth!"
"Wealth?" Keira was astonished. "How could the South family possibly have so much money?"
"How could they not? You really don't remember anything, do you?"
Vera mocked Keira outright, "Do you even know how much wealth the South family actually has?"
Keira hesitated. "How much?"
Vera said, "I don't know."
Keira didn't know what to say.
