The files showed it was Grace who swapped out Mr. Norwood, acting under Night Eagle’s orders. Lydia’s suspicions were spot on. Right now, families with real influence in the Capital and other cities like Maple Town and Rock Bay already had some of their members replaced by clones. The plan was clear—get these clones into the upper circles and quietly take control of the country’s economy. There was no way Night Eagle was doing this on its own. Someone powerful had to be pulling the strings, maybe even with government support from abroad.
Dustin looked seriously worried. “This is... huge.”
The whole thing was tangled, with so many families involved. They’d have to be really careful. As for the people who’d been switched out, they didn’t have solid proof from the chat logs, but Lydia could tell from how they talked that nobody had been killed. They were probably sent overseas.
“Mr. Lowe had a barcode with the number ten. So he’s probably the tenth clone.”
Mr. Norwood’s replacement was still fresh. If Lydia could check his barcode, she’d know his number and could start figuring out just how many people had been swapped.
After giving Dustin a couple of quick instructions, Lydia rushed off to find Boris. When Boris heard the news, he was stunned. He never imagined that evil forces had already reached so deep into their country. Thank goodness Lydia caught it when she did—otherwise, the fallout would have been unimaginable.
But there was still a big problem. With so many people already replaced and so little information, they couldn’t risk tipping anyone off. One wrong move and the whole operation would blow up in their faces. The only safe way forward was to identify all the clones and take them out together. And above all, they had to find out who was really behind it all.
“Maybe you should focus on investigating here at home, and I’ll look into what’s happening overseas,” Boris suggested.
Boris was practically famous in the country, with a reputation that made people notice. If he started poking around, it would draw attention for sure. Lydia was different. She was young, kept a low profile, and could move around without causing a stir. That would make her job a lot easier.
Lydia nodded. “Alright.”

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
