Keira hesitated, her thoughts swirling.

The deeper she delved into her scientific research, the more she found herself thinking: at the edge of science lies the unexplained, perhaps even the mystical.

After all, if neutrinos exist, then why not a prophecy?

Maybe the South family really did have this kind of ability.

Resting her chin on her hand, Keira gazed at Erin. After a moment, she asked abruptly, "Do all South family members have 'South' in their names?"

"Of course!" Erin replied cheerfully.

Keira's eyes darkened slightly.

Erin tilted her head and asked, "Why? It's pretty common for us. Most of us include 'South' in our names, since it's part of the family name. Even when I pretended to be from the Martin family, I still used the name Erin South Martin. And Jenkins? She picked a new last name but still kept 'South' in it."

Keira nodded thoughtfully. "Who else around us has 'South' in their name?"

Erin sighed dramatically. "You can't just count everyone with 'South' in their name. There are tons of people like that! Based on my records, out of all the people you've crossed paths with, there are 567 with 'South' in their names. Over a hundred of them work under you."

Erin glanced at her meaningfully and added, "But if you're asking who the richest one is, that'd be Sean South Church. But Sean can't be Clownfish. He's a guy! And South family heirs are always women."

Keira paused slightly at this, her expression unreadable.

After a moment, she lowered her gaze and nodded at Erin. "I see."

"What do you see?" Erin asked.

"Nothing," Keira replied, smiling faintly.
