Keira sat in stunned silence, her mind racing through a mental checklist of everyone who knew the truth about her. The list was impossibly short. Keira Olsen had supposedly perished in that devastating shipwreck off the coast of Oceanion. The woman breathing now, living now, was supposed to be Keera—her sister's identity, her sister's life.
But this woman called Eagle seemed to see right through the cracks in her carefully constructed facade.
Keira's jaw tightened as she stared at the cold, impersonal text message glowing on her screen. Those four words echoed in her mind like a death knell: *"I know who you are."*
For a moment, the silence stretched between them, heavy and suffocating. But Keira wasn't someone who crumbled under pressure. She'd survived worse. Much worse. Taking a steadying breath, she made a calculated decision—she'd initiate a video call.
If Eagle truly knew who she was, then hiding her face was pointless anyway. But there was another reason for this bold move: if the woman had the guts to answer, Keira would finally see the face of her mysterious adversary. It was time to put eyes on the enemy.
The call rang through the speaker, an agonizing rhythm that seemed to stretch for an eternity. Keira watched the screen with steely resolve, refusing to let anticipation show on her face. Seconds crawled by. No answer. Just as she was about to lower her phone and abandon the attempt, the screen flickered to life.
The call connected.
Keira's pupils contracted, disbelief washing over her. On the screen appeared a stranger—a woman with distinctively East Asian features. Her face was striking, almost intimidating. Deep-set eyes that seemed to bore straight through the screen, sharp and intense, like a predator sizing up its prey. She wore her hair short, cut neat and stylish, lending her an androgynous charm that was both confident and commanding.
For a heartbeat, neither woman spoke. They simply studied each other through the digital connection, two warriors sizing one another up before the first blow.
"You're Eagle?" Keira asked, her voice carefully neutral.
"That's right." The response came cold and commanding, matching the woman's formidable appearance. Eagle held Keira's gaze without flinching. "I knew you'd be looking for me, so I had Pig go find you first."
Keira's lips pressed into a thin line, her brow furrowing with suspicion. "Do you even know why I'm looking for you?"
Eagle nodded without an ounce of hesitation. "I do. You want to win. You want to save your mother. Isn't that right?"
"Yes." Keira answered without pretense. There was no point in lying when the woman clearly had all the cards laid out before her.
To Keira's surprise, Eagle's expression flickered with something that might have been sympathy—or perhaps pity. "Forget it," the woman said, her voice carrying a strange finality. "I'm not going to lose. And besides, the South family wouldn't allow it."
Keira's mind stumbled over the words. "The South family wouldn't allow it? What does that even mean?"
"No. They won't." Eagle's voice dropped, taking on an icy quality that sent an involuntary shiver down Keira's spine. "Because they believe that only those who survive bloodshed are worthy successors. Only the strongest can lead the South family into the future."
The weight of those words settled over Keira like a suffocating blanket. She'd heard whispers about the South family's brutal traditions, but hearing it confirmed by one of their own was something else entirely. "And what kind of future is that?"
"That depends on how you look at it." Eagle's tone turned philosophically detached, as if discussing a historical curiosity rather than her own family. "Every generation of successors has possessed absolute strength. We're like aggressive insects—only the king survives. It's just that there are fewer successors now, so we don't fight to the death anymore. But if this were the old days..." She paused, letting the implication hang in the air. "Only one of us would be walking away from this."
Keira absorbed this information, her tactical mind cataloging every detail. But something still nagged at her. "Then why did you contact me? If you're not here to surrender, do you really think I'll join you?"
Eagle let out a low chuckle, utterly devoid of warmth. "Of course not. I'm just giving you an opportunity."
An opportunity. Keira's instincts screamed danger. She opened her mouth to refuse, but Eagle pressed on before the words could form.
"I'm offering us a temporary truce. You do what you need to do, and I'll be waiting for the right moment."
The words hung between them, tempting and treacherous. Keira's instincts told her to reject this outright, but she forced herself to pause. "I don't have anything I need to do."
"No?" Eagle's smile turned cold, unreadable, like a frozen lake hiding unfathomable depths. "Then why ask so many questions about the South family? If I had to guess, you're planning to infiltrate them as a drifter. After all, you already have their coordinates, don't you?"
Keira's jaw clenched so hard she thought her teeth might crack.
Eagle continued relentlessly, her voice smooth as silk and twice as dangerous. "I want to know if someone can actually make it out of the South family alive. Give it a shot. I'll give you the chance. If you walk out of there, I'll follow you. If you get caught..." She smirked, a predatory expression that sent alarm bells ringing through Keira's mind. "Well, then you were never meant to win in the first place."
The venom of those words struck Keira with surprising force.
"So there's no need to be on guard around me," Eagle added casually, gesturing dismissively. "If you're set on getting yourself killed, I won't stop you."
Keira frowned deeply, her mind churning through the implications. She *had* considered taking care of Eagle first, eliminating the threat before it could grow. Her fear had been simple: if she and Lewis infiltrated the South family as drifters, Eagle would swoop in at the worst possible moment—either attacking them from within or devastating everyone in Clance, swallowing up all of Keira's forces in one devastating blow.
But she hadn't expected Eagle to see right through her.
Pig's theatrical visit now made awful sense. It had seemed so random, almost like a performance, but it had been orchestrated from the very start. A trap laid with precision and patience.
From Eagle's perspective, entering the South family was a suicide mission. She wasn't offering Keira a chance—she was offering her a sacrifice. Eagle was simply waiting for Keira to throw herself into the fire, then she would pick through the ashes and claim everything that remained.
Keira made a split-second decision. "Fine. We'll see how this plays out."
Eagle's tone remained infuriatingly casual. "I'll give you one month. If you make it out of the South family alive, I'll pledge my allegiance to you. If you die there, then all your people belong to me."
The audacity of the woman made Keira's blood boil, but her expression stayed perfectly neutral. "I don't have 'people'."
Eagle narrowed her sharp eyes, skepticism dripping from every word. "Don't kid yourself. You think I don't know? Lion, Clownfish, and Fox have all aligned with you."
"No." Keira's voice was steady, firm, carrying a quiet conviction that even Eagle couldn't ignore. "We're allies. They're not subordinates or underlings. They're my *friends*."
The word hung in the air, so foreign to the world these people inhabited. Keira had never seen Erin or the others as followers—they were all just as strong as she was. Equals. Comrades. Friends.
And she would never betray that bond.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
Oh my goodness, what an absolutely riveting chapter! The confrontation between Keira and Eagle was everything I could have hoped for and more! The way Eagle saw through Keira's facade, the chilling revelation about the South family's brutal traditions, and that incredible moment where Keira declared that her allies are her *friends*—I got chills! The psychological tension in this chapter is off the charts. Eagle is a formidable antagonist, sharp-witted and calculating, and watching these two women match wits from opposite ends of a video call was pure literary gold. Keira's unwavering loyalty to her friends, even when facing impossible odds, makes her such a compelling protagonist. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happens next!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars
## Next Chapter Prediction
Based on this intense showdown, I predict that Keira will now prepare for her infiltration of the South family alongside Lewis. The one-month timeline Eagle gave her hangs over everything like a ticking time bomb. I suspect we'll see Keira put her plan into action, but nothing about the South family is ever straightforward—and with Eagle waiting to pounce if she fails, the stakes have never been higher. Will Keira find an ally inside the family, or will they sense an intruder the moment she arrives? I can't wait to find out!
