Keira immediately clenched her fists, filled with a sense of danger.
She looked at Lewis, who nodded at her, signaling that the house was safe.
Keira thought about how she was currently at the Horton family’s place. Thank goodness she wasn’t at the Olsen family’s house—if she were, with Mary pregnant and Amy around, her family would be in serious danger.
She stood up and walked toward the door, step by step, with Lewis following closely behind.
Soon, they reached the door. As they opened it, they saw a woman they didn’t recognize standing outside.
The woman was slightly plump, but beautiful, and had no resemblance to a pig at all.
The woman, holding a phone, smiled at Keira and then hung up. She stepped forward immediately and shook Keira’s hand. “Hi, hi, it’s so good to finally meet you p>
Keira was speechless.
She felt as though she was meeting someone for a secret exchange of code words.
She looked the woman up and down, confirming she had never met her before, and asked, “You came to see me in person p>
“Of course! To show you our sincerity!” The woman casually walked into the Horton house. “I’ve heard of you for a while, and I’ve always wanted to be friends, but we’re in different camps. You’ve long been part of Fox’s team, and you’ve stayed low-key all this time, so Eagle never considered recruiting you. But now, things are different. You’ve risen to fame, and you’re an important figure. She sent me to bring you on board p>
Keira raised an eyebrow. “Oh, and then p>
“That’s it,” Pig stretched lazily. “Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I’m from Country Z, doing business there. I’m getting by, but you know, with this pig brain of mine, I can’t do too much. It’s all about finding the right people. Eagle’s got strategy, and if you join us, you’ll be our number five p>
Keira paused. “Number five p>
“Yep. Eagle’s number one, of course! Cobra’s number two, Cockroach is three, I’m number four, and you’ll be number five since you just joined p>
By now, they were inside the house. Pig casually glanced around before sitting on the sofa. “Do you have any water? I’m dying of thirst p>
Keira waved, and a servant came over with water.
As the servant left, the woman took a sip, then said, “Well, if you’re capable, you could take number four and I’ll be number five. Just feed me well, and even if you plan to fatten me up and slaughter me, I’m fine with that p>
Keira was at a loss for words.
She couldn’t help but be curious. “So, you just showed up like this? Aren’t you worried I might lock you up? What if this is all a trap with Erin and me playing a part? If I lock you up, Eagle loses a big assistant p>
Pig stared at her, surprised. “Do I still have that much value p>
Keira was taken aback.
Pig shrugged. “Oh, you might not understand us. I’m lazy and don’t think much, so all the business in Country Z is handled by Eagle. I’m basically a pig—if I’m gone, it won’t hurt Eagle’s power because all the business power is in her hands! I’m just a good luck charm p>
Keira was speechless.
Pig continued, “Don’t look at me like that. My IQ’s only 80, and I can’t understand normal people’s brains, so just tell me straight—are you in or not p>
Keira shook her head in disbelief. “What kind of weirdos are the South family p>
As she was thinking this, Pig suddenly spilled the beans about her family: “My mom and dad are cousins, so that’s why my IQ’s a little off. But the South family’s heirs are hard to come by, and there are only nine of us left. They can’t do anything about it, so I’m just going along with Eagle. Fox is a bit clever, but not too much. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have only recruited you and Vera. Anyway, Eagle’s the real deal. You should join us p>
Keira exhaled. “Fine, I’m in p>
Pig’s eyes lit up. “Great! I’ll add you to our little group. You have Whatsapp, right p>
Keira froze. “Uh, yeah, I do p>
Wait—don’t they use Whatsapp too?
She was still processing when she received Pig’s friend request. After accepting it, the woman immediately added her to the group.
There were four people in the group. The group leader was Eagle, and the others had codenames.
As soon as Keira entered, Cockroach sent a message: “Wait, did you close the deal that fast? Pig, can we trust her p>
Pig replied: “If you didn’t trust me, why’d you send me to recruit her? If it blows up, it blows up p>
Cockroach: “Huh p>
Cockroach: “Didn’t we say you were supposed to test her first before adding her p>
