Chapter 0551 Did he lose his senses, or was it just-an act? I I Oh, Callie, she was still too naive and trusting.

Alexander shook his head slowly, his gaze sharp as he met Tacker's. His voice was calm and detached as he spoke, "Playing dumb may fool others, but do you really believe it will work on me? "Ywain may be dead, but he got what he deserved. He fought againstbecause he was provoked by the master—the true villain behind everything! "Now, tell me—who's this master? Even if you don't want to admit it, you and I both know that the so-called Black Maple master is our real enemy!" Their real enemy...

Tacker's madness had subsided by that

. point. With Callie and a slew of young Xanthos family members looking on, he met Alexander's gaze. Each word was \ strained, his voice raspy from emotion.

"Nobody knows who the master truly is.

I My father had his suspicions—he could I be from the Zadra family." The Zadra family was a powerful name, ranking second only to the three great dynasties in the north.

Alexander paused momentarily before ignoring everyone else, nodding briefly to Callie and walking away with purposeful strides.

Was the mysterious Black Maple master linked to the Zadra family? They needed to dig into that.

Meanwhile, in the Kane family's stronghold.

Ywain's death had sent shockwaves throughout the north, reducing the Xanthos family to mere names in the crowd. The unshakeable Kane family and their powerful in-laws, the Foster family, \ I were the true heavyweights.

I "Mister Kane." Raidon Foster arrived in the Kane estate's grand hall with a bottle from the Rare Whiskey Collection as his gift. He offered it to Caleb with a smile. "Mister Kane, I remember you're a collector. This one requires snegotiation and a large sum of money. I hope it will make you smile!" Caleb examined the bottle and chuckled softly.

Nobody showed up without an agenda.

The Kanes and the Fosters might be kin by marriage, but Caleb's marriage to Raidon's Aunt Yeilyn was only in name— they had not shared a bed in 15 years. The

Fosters were not pleased, but they stayed out of it for the sake of family ties, and visits were limited. So, why the sudden visit from Raidon? There was an old adage that there was no I action without a reason. The Fosters did I notdo things at random; Raidon's unexpected visit had to be about Alexander.

"Are you not a fan of alcohol, Mister Kane? Don't worry; I will find something else for you next time!" Raidon casually set the bottle on the table, his grin spreading from ear to ear.

"Mister Kane, word has it that the cousin we thought was gone for good has returned, and he has acquired a whopping 60 percent of the Callie Group shares. That's big news! Why didn't you letknow? "Between you and me, I've always felt a connection with my cousin—Alexander.

I've been wanting to have a genuine

conversation with him!" A conversation? About what, exactly? When the Kane and Foster families i becin-laws, Alexander had already I severed ties with the Kanes. Were Raidon I and Alexander even close? Furthermore, Alexander did not only own 60 percent of the Callie Group's stock— he owned the entire company! Caleb kept his thoughts to himself and maintained a poker face. He smiled at Raidon and said, ""Raidon, if that's what you're here for, letclarify the situation. You're talking about Alexander from Ol' Mare? He has nothing to do with the Kane family. Any talk of that is just hearsay; nothing is solid." Nothing to do with them? The rumor mill up north was churning out a different story—Alexander was the scandalous offspring Chrissy had left

I dl behind, as well as Caleb's flesh and blood! "Well, if he's not my cousin, that simplifies things a whole lot!" I Raidon looked at Caleb, then laughed and I said, "Mister Kane, I'm on my way to the I Callie Group right now. The Fosters have a stake there as well. It's not a lot, but we can't let Alexander take them without a fight!" He gave Caleb a respectful nod before turning his heel and marching off.

"It seems like the Fosters want a piece of the Callie Group in these chaotic times," Caleb said, watching Raidon vanish from his sight. A worried expression crossed his face, and his brow furrowed.

He would not have noticed if it had been any other northern clan, but the Fosters were not a typical family. Eldon Foster, the old patriarch, was a formidable figure a martial titan among men. Even Alexander would have to think twice
