Iwan copsed to the ground.


    Debra nced at him and turned to the two elders in the center. "Gentlemen, there''s no need to test me anymore, is there?"


    Erica and Gand were both stunned. They couldn''t believe the stunt was just a test.


    Freddy studied Debra''s expression, and for a moment, he saw the same unshakable confidence he had once admired in Triston.


    "You think we''re joking with you?" he sneered.


    With his words, Erica and Gand tensed up once again.


    Debra, on the other hand, remained unfazed. "If you guys wanted the seal, there''d be no need toe here and talk to me. You could''ve just sent someone to take it. After all these years of ignoring the Potter family''s affairs, you''ve traveled all this way just to put on a show. You must have been informed that the seal is in my hands and wanted to know if I''d give it away easily, right?"


    She couldn''t think of anyone other than Jordan who might have tipped them off.


    To save Liza, she had shown up with people from the Potter family. Jordan must have figured out that the seal was with her. He had then spread the word to the core members of the Potter family, trying to get them to retrieve it from her.


    Andrew had told her to memorize the Potter family tree. She now knew exactly who these people were. Most importantly, Andrew had told her that if anything serious happened, these elders were the ones she could trust.


    It was even more so if they appeared together.


    "You''re smart, Mrs. Houston," Freddy chuckled. "It''s a shame you were not born in the Potter family."


    "Looks like our

    "Turns out they''re here to deliver things. Made me so nervous." Gand patted his chest, finally relieved.


    Smart people always talked in circles, and it was exhausting to deal with them.


    The group exchanged nces, and one of the bodyguards stepped forward, handing Debra a box.


    She opened it and found a thick ledger inside. The pages were yellow, indicating its long history.


    "These ledgers should be useful to you," Freddy said.


    Debra examined the books carefully. "These ledgers look very simr to the ones I found in our ancestral hall. Sir, what exactly is recorded here? Why did the Potter family have such a huge ie that year?"


    Freddy answered, "Actually, there''s nothing special about these records. The Potter family has always managed intelligence, and it costs a lot to maintain thework. Those records are just the necessary expenses for that year. The Four Great Families are interdependent, connected bymon interests. There are rumors that we control the secret of Seamar City''s treasure. This secret has always been held by the head of the Potter family."
